Arrow's to the Heart: part 2 (Daryl Dixon fanfiction)

CHAPTER TWO: Scars can't hide your tears

It had been a while on the road after the building crashed down. Then Daryl just remembered the scars that he had saw on your back. He wanted to ask but he already had a guess. You had gotten outta his grip and leaned up against the side of the RV as it moved down the road. You were hurt because you had just heard the news about Jaquie and you wanted to cry but something inside you stopped you. It was hard, feeling like you had lost everything already. 

*BACK THEN* (age 13)

You tapped on Izzy's window, she opens it for you to crawl inside. "Oh my Nic!" You tried to hide your face in embarrassment."Im fine izzy really" You Said trying to cover up your pain. "this is getting worse, each house you go to you come back with more scars and bruises than the last. we have to do something" Izzy said looking down. "I did do something, but it was for protecting someone else."

Izzy looked concerned and looked like she was about to cry. "You have to also look over yourself in the process." you began to shed a tear. "Let me see your back" I hesitated but she really cared and all she wanted to do was help so i lifted up my shirt and what she saw broke her down into tears.

"Oh-my-nic-" she said her voice breaking. you couldn't really do anything because your back was numb of what happened. "Here ill get the kit" "Is your mom here. she's gonna set social services or something like that and start drama" Izzy was upset but understood. "Look nic you have to do something, you can't hide you scars away your whole like." What she said was true. "Fine, I will okay?" 

you never did, You knew if you said something people would wan to get involved and people only slow you down. you gotta do whats best for you to survive. Your better off on your own. 

*PRESENT*

You had remembered that time with Izzy and what you though back then. A tear fell down your face past the scar you had. Daryl looked down and sighed as you wiped the tear away secretly.

finally you get to a building that looks really familiar. "Wait, hold up. why does this place look so familiar?" "That's its because its where we found the Vatos, they might take us in for the night" Glenn said. "Are you sure they are gonna remember us?" You replied. "If not, he liked you more" Rick said chuckling. You scoffed. As you entered the building you saw that everything was destroyed. As you got deeper down the halls you looked into the room and saw a bunch of elderly dead in the rooms. Sophia began to cry. "suck it up!" Daryl said whispering. "You leave her alone!" Carol snapped back. "Shut her up, or ill do it myself" Daryl said. You knew that saying anywhere. "Daryl! Seriously dude? She's a kid, she has every right to cry...just do it quietly for us though okay?" You said turning back towards Sophia. She put on half a smile and nodded. You turned and walked passed Daryl. He gathered up his anger and pushed it behind him. 

whats going on with him?  you thought to yourself. Daryl couldn't get the image of your scars outta his head remembering you in the shower. How could she let someone do that to her? Daryl kept thinkin to himself. 

As you went farther down the halls you saw more people dead. You had entered the cafeteria where you had found Glenn when you first met the Vatos to get Glenn back. You looked around and there were papers everywhere. Blood scattered across the floor and the smell of rotting bodies irritated your stomach and made you weep on the inside. "What happened?" Lori asked. "This place was over run" Daryl snapped his head back up. "Get a clue. Have you observed?! look around, this place wasn't over run with geeks, someone came in here and shot up everyone straight in the head, took their stuff and bolted. Instead of being worried about the geeks we should be more worried about the people who did this. Look it up, and use you brain and observe!" Daryl said in a hostile voice towards Andrea. "Okay I don't know what your problem is but your gonna have to like you said 'suck it up' and stop acting like a hurt little bitch whos a know it all okay?" you said standing up for Andrea. He may have comforted you but you wouldn't let anyone talk to Andrea or anyone else the way he did. You didn't have time for it.
