DARYL

I WOKE UP GRADUALLY but refused to open my eyes. It has been the best I had slept since the beginning of this shit show.
I felt a weight pressed against my chest. I frowned in confusion before the memories of the night before came back to me.
I hadn't drank too much last night. I remember everything. She was an orphan, a murderer and a stripper. And I told her she was beautiful.
I kept my eyes close savouring they moment. I can't say that I disliked laying here with Belle.

I heard someone clear their throat from the door way. My eyes bolted open looking straight to the door.
Rick, Carol, Glenn, Maggie and T-Dog, were stood looking at me and Belle with a smirk on their faces.
I made sure not to move too much so that I didn't wake Belle up.
I scowled at them waving them away. Rick cleared his throat to speak, I brought my finger up to my lips scowling at him motioning for him to stop before he woke up Belle.
He only chuckled before turning and walking away. Glenn stood with a raised brow and a smirk on his face before leaving with a giggling Maggie. T-dog followed chuckling to himself. Carol was the last to leave smiling at me.

I looked down at Belle sleeping peacefully on my chest. I ran my fingers through her pony tail before brushing the hair out of her face.

The hell was wrong with me.

I look my hand off her before clearing me throat to wake her up.

I needed to go. I was 13 years older than her. This wasn't okay. Dixon's didn't feel. I didn't feel for this girl.

She opens her eyes squinting before grunting in pain.
"Ya head?" I questioned quietly moving my arm off her getting ready to get up.
"Woah why you gotta yell?" she grumbled sitting up holding her head.

I used this opportunity to get out of her bed. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed before putting my boots on and standing up.
"Make sure ya get some breakfast" I said turning to her.
"Yeah yeah whatever" she groan as she flopped her head back down onto the pillow.

I let her cell and made my way to my perch hoping nobody would see me.
"How come you slept in Bella's cell?" I heard a voice say from behind me.
I spun round to see Carl looking up at me frowning.
"I dint" I said before picking up my crossbow.
"Yeah you did. I saw you" he said frowning at me.
"She ain't been feelin' well buddy" I replied not really knowing what to say.
He still looked at me frowning. "Ya wanna go get her some water, she could do with it" I said trying to get him away.
He nodded before turning on his heels and walking away.

I slung my crossbow over my shoulder before heading down the stairs only to be met with Rick and Carol waiting for me at the bottom.
"What?" I asked scowling at them while they smiled back.
I already knew exactly what they were gonna say and I didn't need it.
"So...." Rick said smirking
"Ain't nothing goin' on. She got drunk, I brought her in to go to sleep. End of" I said walking past them both but they both turned round and walked either side of me.
"Except that wasn't the end" Carol smiled from next to me.
"Leave it" I said looking at her.
"She's attractive. You've got to admit that" Carol said smiling. We both stopped walking.
"Ugh yeah I guess" I said before walking off and leaving both Rick and Carol.
