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

CHAPTER FIVE: Broken News

After walking away from what just had happened you find yourself heading back to the highway with everyone following you. In the meantime Daryl is behind you thinking about how you almost kissed until Glenn catches up to him. "Dude did you see that chick?!" "Noo really?" Daryl said being sarcastic. "Jeez you okay?" "Man just leave me alone alright" Daryl said walking farther but he saw how close he was to you and backed up more giving you your space. "You kissed her didn't you" Glenn asked. You heard what Glenn said and shot your head back. "Can you guys hurry up?! Yall are so damn slow" you said irritated turning back around. Daryl scoffed. "You did didn't you" "No I didn't alright will you just drop it?" Glenn rolled his eyes.

"Well then what happened. You both were fine at the CDC. She was huggin you and you all were being all cuddly and stuff, what changed?" "one we weren't cuddly, she was scared and needed a hug that's all" "mhm sure" Daryl had had enough and he grabbed his shoulder and turned to face towards him. "Look I swear if you don't shut up I will take this arrow and I will stick it through your eye and cut your blabbering mouth off you got that?!" Glenn got startled. "Hey not the time ight" you said turning back towards him. Daryl nudged Glenn and walked a little bit ahead of him. Carol came to Glenn "what's his problem?" Glenn asked. "He almost kissed Nic" "I KNEW IT!" Glenn shouted and Daryl turned back and gave Glenn a look that he'll never forget. You didn't bother and kept walking. Daryl turned back around and Glenn had fear in his eye. "Then he found out a secret about her and she remembered something but that weird chick came in so she didn't have time to explain. It's best to just let them figure it out" Glenn nodded and understood.

*BACK THEN* (age 15)

You had woken up and it was your birthday, you had finally turned 15 and you felt like everything was possible. "NIC CHOP CHOP!" the head matron called. "and there's my morning bell" you get dressed and as you make your way downstairs with all the other kids your brother comes behind you and picks you up and spins you around. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIC!" you laugh. "Dekard! its about time someone remembers around here" "seriously come on I don't hate you that much" he said nudging you. "whatever you jerk" you said laughing. You guys get back in the line and make your way down getting ready to be served breakfast. "Ugh can this day get any worse?" you said looking at the food. "dude there's no way the birthday girl is eating that, come on" Dekard said pulling your arm. "Dude where we goin?" "I made reservations" your head shot up. "What in the name of-how?" "I have my ways" he said grinning. "oh boy, well can't wait to see where this goes" you said sarcastically.

You finally made it to the top of the orphanage and when you got up there you looked around and there was plates of beagles and cream cheese and everything you hoped for in a birthday. You always made it special for your birthdays because you didn't have parents to celebrate with and the orphanage never cared. "Dude this is awesome!" "That's not the best part" "Oh my if Jordan Fisher pops outta the corner I will stop using your toothbrush" he stops. "hold up what?" "Nothing, what's the surprise?" you said trying to break the tension "mhm" he pulls something out of his pocket and he pulls out two rings. "Dekard holy crabapples! wait...how did you get these?" "you know just some friendly people being so generous" "by generous do you mean they couldn't catch up to you" "don't ruin the moment Nic" he said holding his finger up.

You scoffed and you put it on. "aw you got me friendship rings, two of them" "yeah" "in case I lose one" "what? no-" "well anyone else could have gotten me one" "yeah but-" "oh I get it" "yup" "one for each hand" "what NO!" you laughed. "I'm just playing. I love it Dek" you put on one your middle finger. he tries to reach for the other. "what are you doing?" you questioned. But you playfully smiled and gave him the ring and he put it on. "Look I know we never see each other that much because your always going to different homes, so I just thought you know when you getting the crap beat out of you, you can look down and know that i'll be waiting here with open arms when you come back" "wooow, so much comfort" you said sarcastically.
