                                                Hayden POV 


I laid there withering in pain, but I wasn't in a cell in a confined space that I'm grateful for, 

Just taking a breath was excruciating, but I just bite my lip, It was not me showing pain, I always hid my pain, from the very beginning, since I was kid, hiding it, from the first time the adults failed to help me when I did seek out help, 

I decided to use anger, get people to hate me was way easier to do then pretend to be something I wasn't, the anger helped with the pain, 

I sighed closing my eyes, Daryl went to get me something to eat that was easy to eat, or keep down I should say, 

Speaking of witch here he comes, he walked in with a plate of I don't even want to know, I thought 

"Here let me help ya sit up," He said setting the plat on the chair, 

He grabbed me by underneath my arms and pulled me up, I just bit my lip refusing to groan in pain, 

I can barley move due to the pain, Hershel said it is going to take time to heal since my injuries were so severe, 

Daryl set the plate in my lap, 

I looked at him, 

"It's whats left of the food here darlin, were gonna go look for some tomorrow, He said 

I lightly nodded, to weak and injured to really nod, 

I scooped the food on the spoon swallowing it since it was mushed like apple sauce, 

I winced as I swallowed almost on the verge of tears, after about the third time, I stopped I couldn't eat it was too painful, 

"you done already?" He asked 

Sure I'm starving but the pain is far worse, 

"Why don't you eat it," I said with a scratch raspy voice 

"Look I know yer in pain but at least try a few more spoon full's" He said 

I looked at me in surprise, 

I thought I was doing a pretty good job hiding that, 

"Don't look so surprised, I know ya Hayden, and I know yer tryin to hide it but ya can't hide it from me," He said 

I sighed weakly taking a few more spoon full's until I stopped, 

It was quiet, 

"Here let me help ya lay down," He said getting up taking the plate and helping me lay down, 

I looked at him, 

He looked different, sure I didn't notice since I was hurt so badly I couldn't focus too much, 

"Yer hair is longer," I said with a raspy voice, 

He looked at me and smiled slightly 

"I guess it is," He said 

I blinked slowly and hard, trying not too fall asleep, 

"Sleep darlin, you need rest, I'm not going anywhere I promise," He said petting my head,
