Daryl's point of view-

I rinse off my arrows in a small bucket of water, I herd footsteps behind me.

Carol sat down beside me and say her hand on my shoulder.

"Daryl, that little girl. She means a lot to you, doesn't she?" She asked speaking in a soft voice.

"Yeah, she does." I reply looking at her, "What about it?"

"Nothing. It's just none of us have seen that side to you, even with Sofia." Carol choked on her daughters name, tears wanted to fill her eyes but she didn't let them.

I stand up slinging my crossbow over my shoulder, "She is a daughter to me."

Carol nods with a smile on her face.

Noelle point if view-

I awoke on the couch where I had fallen asleep on Daryl's chest, his vest was laying across me, he probably let me use it as a blanket. I put the best on, a little big but it worked.

"Daryl?" I say looking around the house,

"In here!" He responds, I walk into the kitchen poking his back. "Sleep well?" He asks, I nod with a smile as I grab a can of peaches and a bottle of water.

Carl was outside on the porch alone, I decided to grab an extra can and bring it to him.

"Morning!" I say sitting beside him and handing him the can, "Morning, and no thank you." He says looking off into the distance.

I could tell he was crying all night, his eyes were puffy and a bit red.

"Are you ok?" I ask him, scooping the peaches out of the can.

"I'm fine." He says, his lips tremble and tears form in his eyes.

"No your not, I can tell." I say setting down the can and looking down at my feet.

"Those men," he whispers, " I thought I was going to die, but at least you would've been safe. Then when you told them to take you instead I died a little inside. I thought you were going to die."

I pull his face to face mine, looking into his blue eyes. "I'm not going anywhere, I promise." I say, "Now eat please." I smile handing him a can and walking inside.

Daryl smirked "I see someone's got a crush."

Rolling my eyes I chuckled "I do not!" I laugh.

"Well good, because I don't want my little girl to date any boys anyways!" He said laughing "Also I see your wearing my vest."

"It was comfortable, ok!" I say laughing, "do you want it back?"

"Nah, you can keep it." He smiled, "do you want to go on a run with Rick, Carl and I?"

"Yeah I'm down!" I say with a smile.

Daryl was like my father figure, kind of just happened.

That evening on the run Daryl and I watched the door of a two story yellow house, Rick and Carl were inside looking for supplies.

"So, how's Carl doing?" Daryl says breaking the silence,

"I don't really know, he only told me a few things." I said, I don't know if I should tell him about the whole Carls crush and things.

"I know he likes you." Daryl smirks, but also let's out a small sigh.

"Got a problem with it?" I laugh,

"Yeah, teenagers." He laughs and makes his finger into a circle and a straight line.

I couldn't help but laugh, "That's not going to happen anytime soon. Sometimes I swear your a child!"

Rick and Carl walk outside, Rick gave us a strange look at our laughter. Carl couldn't help but look at me and smile.

Daryl wiggled his eyebrows as Carl walked away, I just smiled and rolled my eyes.

Wow Daryl, so mature.

||||later that night||||

That night around 9:30pm I'm guessing, Carl and I sat on the couch talking about the things we missed the most.

It felt good to hear Carl laugh again, seeing him forget the world for once.

Daryl eyed us from a distance, he has been a bit more protective lately. I'm glad to have him back though.

"So why did you tell the men to take you instead?" Carl asked, his voice went soft.

"It's hard to explain." I say, I don't think I could tell him. I honestly don't know either.

"Please tell me!" He begged, I herd Daryl laugh in the distance and walk outside.

"Fine, well, when I saw you on the ground and the man trying to take off yours and his clothing I kind of knew what was happening, and my heart sank." I explain "I didn't want you to get hurt, even if it ment putting my own life on the line."

Carl smiled, and began leaning in for a kiss.

Oh shit, what do I do?

I put my hand on his lips, and let out some laughter "Sorry, not happening."

Daryl and Rick could be herd in the distance laughing their asses of.

"Damn." Carl whispered and rubbed the back of his neck "sorry."

I smiled and walked upstairs, Daryl followed behind and gave me a high five as we entered the bedroom.

"What's that for?" I ask as I giggle.

"Nothing." He responded with a smile.

"Whatever." I say laughing as I laid on the bed, picking up the book I found on the run.
