— PLACES LIKE THIS MADE NATE'S skin crawl, knowing exactly who these people were before the outbreak and how they treated people without money, how they looked down upon them all like they were dirt on the bottom of their shoes, like they were nothing; when Nate was growing up, he learnt to hate people like this, hate what they stood for, and hate how they preyed upon the weak to gain the upper hand. Nate grew up in poverty, he lived in an old shack with his alcoholic father and his two older brothers whom were never truly around; Merle moved out the second he was able to, leaving his two younger brothers behind, and Daryl often took the beating from their fathers, nearly being killed one night due to how much beating he had truly taken. That was, until Daryl eventually moved out and all of their fathers anger then turned onto Nate, the boy now being all alone in the small, cheap home that he despised with his whole heart. Daryl visited often, though, and that was the difference between him and Merle, Daryl cared, and that's why Nate had always felt more drawn towards the middle Dixon child. Even if they don't have the same mother, Nate always saw Daryl and Merle as his true brothers, and he would have never seen them as any different.
But overall, this place didn't bring any joy to Nate; he didn't want to stay here, and he sure as hell didn't feel bad for anyone that had died here, knowing that they would have never shown him any gratitude before the outbreak. If they had survived the outbreak without taking the easy way out, Nate was sure that if he had come into contact with them, he would have been saving their asses, which was ironic, considering how it would have been the opposite before the outbreak had first occurred. As much as he didn't want to admit it, the outbreak was the best thing that had happened to him — he didn't have a job before everything went down, he had no experience and no chance at getting one either. That, and the outbreak had pulled him towards Zoe Grimes, the love of his life..
Beth had found some Peach Schnapps, with it being the only bottle that wasn't broken and empty, and Nate side eyed the stuff, knowing that it was a teenage drink, something that Beth shouldn't have as her first drink, but then again, if she wanted to drink it, then he couldn't stop her. He sat in silence in the corner of the room as he watched Daryl throw darts at the presidents of the golf club, and the man knew that his older brother was thinking the exact same thing as he was, that everyone here probably got what they deserved. Not soon after, however, Beth began to cry quietly, clearly trying to hide it from the two Dixon's, but they both looked over at her with different looks on their faces. Nate had never been good at comforting people, especially before he met Zoe, but now that he had been with her, and seen first hand how she cared about her family and friends, he felt like he was a better person with how he had grown. So, the man stood up and walked towards Beth, slowly pulling the girl in for a hug, giving her the chance to pull away if she didn't want the hug, but the girl did anything but that, instead, she wrapped her arms around the larger man, pushing her face into his chest as she began to sob, letting out her feelings at last.
