-----------------------------------------------------------

I woke up with a jump. Another nightmare. I've been having them for awhile I think since T-Dog or Dale died or the Shane incident. I can't really tell anymore.

I slowly got up and headed downstairs still missing my shirt. I was sweating making me glow in a sort of way.

I walked into the cafeteria and saw Merle sharpening a knife while sitting on the table.

No one else is here there either still sleeping or outside.

We stared at each other for a moment. "Well you look like hell" he said.

"Hey Dixon ya need a hand?" I smirked which he sent me a glare.

"Listen up Merle things won't be like how it was before okay do what my group says or else get your ass kicked got it and speaking of kicking your ass" i walked up to him.

I lifted my arm and punched him in the face knocking him off the table.

"That's for the shit you and your friend pulled in Woodbury" I kicked him in the stomach.

"That's for the shit you did to T-Dog" I kicked him again. "And that's for Daryl" he layed on the floor trying to catch his breath.

I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Daryl watching me. I pointed at him. "Your lucky I don't kick your ass too" I walked by Merle and went outside onto the bridge.

I knew Daryl would follow me. He always does. I sat down and leaned up against the metal gate.

"Hey" he said in a low voice.

"Sit down." I scooted over so he could sit next to me. He listened.

"Daryl Im gonna head out on my own" he turned to me. "What no you can't" I smiled slightly at his words.

"Daryl I love this group okay but-" he pulled me into a hug before I could finish.

"You can't leave me" he whispered into my ear which made my face go red.

I quickly wrapped my arms around his waist. "Daryl I gotta tell you something" well better late than never.

He pulled away from me and I got a good look of his face. "Daryl.. I-" Merle walked into the bridge area and smiled at us.

"Alrighty it's my turn" he had the look in his eye he always has when he wants to fight someone. I stood up and got into a fighting stance. Before Merle could reach me Daryl stepped in between us.

"Get the hell outta here before I throw your ass out" Daryl pushed him towards the door.

Merle started mumbling but listened for once. Daryl turned towards me still pissed at him brother. I laughed out loud.

Daryl stared at me confused. "What's so funny" I laughed even louder at the question.

"Before the world went to shit no way in hell would you stand up to Merle like that you would just let us beat on each other till we were done" I flicked a fake tear away from my eye.

He smiled at me. I smiled back we just sat and stared at each other. I snapped back into my thoughts. "Daryl why did you come back?" His face changed.

"Merles a prick"

I laughed. "Wow really big surprise" I said sarcastically.

We went back and sat down next to each other again. "What's the real reason" he looked at his hands. "I-I uh I didn't wanna leave you behind"
