Bethyl AU: Daryl is the local mechanic who works on motorcycles while Beth is the youngest Greene daughter and a tech school graduate and now she's back for the summer to enjoy her family again and to work on the farm. Beth has a boyfriend she's been dating for a few months named Zach.

A soft, cool breeze rolled through the Georgia country side. It would've been a normal night if there wasn't angry voices shredding the air. It was about nine o'clock at night and Beth and her boyfriend Zach were outside of Greene house shouting at each other.

"I can't fucking believe you would do this to me!" Zach yelled as he got closer to her face.

"Zach..." Beth said trying to look away from him, but he only got closer.

"You can't even explain yourself to me!" Zach shouted taking a step back as he ran his fingers through his hair angrily.

Tears formed in her eyes as she tried to make sense of her words. "Zach I'm sorry, I don't know...I don't know what got into me. Jimmy was just right there and I was tired of-.." Beth attempted, but Zach cut her off. Beth crossed her arms and snapped her mouth shut, tears rolling down her cheeks as she closed her eyes.

"Tired of what? Me!? You know what, fuck you Beth. I'm done with you!" Zach said still yelling. Zach's words had torn through Beth like a bullet and she was trying to grasp onto anything she could to make him stay.

"Babe, please don't go. I'm so sorry, I never wanted to hurt you!" Beth shouted to him pulling him back to her. Zach ripped his arm away from her grasp and looked at her disgustedly.

"Well, now Jimmy doesn't want you and neither do I. You're a fuckin' skank! You cheated on me with your ex-boyfriend! Were done." Zach spat as he turned to leave.

Beth stood there still crying, she knew she had lost him. She had really messed up. She cheated on Zach with Jimmy, well kind of.

Last week Beth had gone out to the stables to feed the horses and Jimmy had been there been there brushing them. It didn't matter to Hershel that Jimmy was Beth's ex-boyfriend, Jimmy was the best farm hand that Hershel had ever had. He needed help on the farm this year and Jimmy was definitely the one to help get stuff done.

Beth and Zach had been currently bickering and she was a mess when she went to the stables. Jimmy had been the only one there she could talk to. When Beth would tell him exactly why she was so upset, he took the opportunity to 'comfort her'. A hug went to kissing and as the kiss deepened it went to being partially undressed when Beth's senses kicked in and she stopped. They had almost had sex, but she stopped it from going that far.

Jimmy had asked her why she'd stopped and she explained that she had a boyfriend. Jimmy was furious with her when she told him about Zach and why he was the reason she was upset. Before Beth got the chance to explain herself any further, Jimmy angrily tore out of the barn and to the house. Jimmy quickly sought out Zach and told him everything. Not only did he tell him what happened, he lied and told Zach that they had had sex just to make things worse for Beth. No matter how many times Beth had tried to tell Zach that they didn't have sex, he didn't believe her. Now Beth was left standing in the middle of the yard feeling furious and empty at the same time.

Beth ran inside past Hershel, who was there wanting to comfort her, grabbed her keys to her truck and sped out of the driveway. Hershel walked out to the porch and watched her drive off, and just shook his head.

Beth drove to the town bar, Hatlin's, and decided to get drunk to forget what had just happened. She was barely 21 and she had only had about two shots of liquor in her life. The only other time she had attempted to drink was at her twenty-first birthday, which was a couple of months ago, when her sister Maggie and her fiancé Glenn had dared her to take two shots of Jägermeister.

She parked her truck and walked in. There was a few people at one table and a man at the bar, Beth walked up to the bar and sat next to him. She sat down with a huff and after a few moments, she looked over at him.

He had dark brown hair, it was long and straight with whips coming out at his neck. He had scruff on chin, smelt like cigarettes but also a musky scent almost woodsy. He was wearing a sleeveless plaid shirt and a leather jacket with black jeans and boots. Before she realized it, she was staring at him intensely.

The man turned and looked at her, "Whatcha lookin' at?" He asked in an on joyed tone as he took a large pull of the amber liquid he was holding.

"Uhm, nothin'." Beth said awkwardly as she turned and averted her gaze.

"What's a girl like yourself doin' at a bar anyways?" He asked looking into her big blue orbs.

"Am I not allowed to drink like you?" She asked sassily, turning back towards him.

"Are you old enough to, sweetheart?" He asked grumpily, talking another gulp.

"Yes. I'm twenty-one." Beth said confidently, pushing a blonde curl behind her ear.

"Well, you gonna get somthin'?" He asked. "Hell, I'll buy ya a drink."

He called the waiter over. "Shot of Jack for this honey." The man said banging the wood in front of her. The bartender nodded and started pouring her a drink.

"Wait, what's your name?" Beth asked the man as the waiter sat the drink in front of her.

"Daryl." He said, "What's your name, missy?"

"As in Daryl Dixon? Are you the town mechanic?" Beth asked as a tiny smile graced her lips.

"Uh, yes I am." Daryl said annoyed by her constant questions. "I believe I asked your name, sweetheart."

"Name's Beth. Beth Greene." She said smiling.

"Alright, Beth. Drink your drink." Daryl said as he took the last sip of his and ordered another.

Beth took a sip of the drink and made a face. Daryl smirked and started on his next drink.

"Are you sure you need another one of those? You're already shit faced." Beth pointed out as she downed her drink and flagged the bartender for another.

"Listen blondie, I don't need you tellin' me when I need to stop drinking." Daryl said rolling his eyes. "Drink up." He said as as she nodded and took another sip. Sooner or later, after several more drinks, Beth made it apparent to Daryl that she was drunk. She was extremely impaired.

"You know Mr. Dixon? I-I am very well prepared for you to make love to me." Beth breathed out drunkenly. She was pulling on his arm and she kept trying to grab his 'package',so to speak.

"Alright blondie, it's time to get you home." Daryl said rolling his eyes.

He should have known better than to give a 125 pound, twenty-one year old, lightweight drinker more than six or seven drinks, but he wasn't thinking. He figured that it was his fault, so he decided to deal with what he had done.

She attempted to grab 'him' again, but he grabbed her wrist when he felt her fingers brush his thigh.

"No I think your mistaken. Would ya stop tryin' to grab that?" Daryl grumbled, grabbing her small wrist once again as she tried to grab his bulge. He mumbled something under his breath, getting up to walk her outside to her truck. She stumbled up and held onto him for support. He helped her wobble outside and then realized, she can't drive. He's going to have to walk her home.

"Listen up, where you live?" He asked tapping his fingers on her cheek, trying to get her attention.

"Uhm I don't know..Greene Land?" She said, erupting into bubbly laughter.

"God damnit." Daryl mumbled to himself.

"C'mon. Where do you live, sweetheart? I'm tryin' to get you home." He asked picking her up bridal style. She just said a bunch of gibberish.

"Damn girl." He said to himself. "Come on. I guess we're going back to my place." He ordered as Beth kept making inaudible drunk sounds.

Daryl carried the small blonde until they finally arrived at a block of two story apartments and he stood her up so he could rest his arms. The apartments weren't the best looking, but they weren't in horrible shape. They were livable and in a semi good place in town. They arrived at the entrance and entered the building to climb the stairs. He picked her up once more and carried her up two flights of stairs. They made it to the apartment and he put her down so he could unlock the door. The way she kept hanging on him, it was getting hard for him to unlock the damn door. He finally snapped.

"God damn it, girl. Fuckin' knock it off." He snarled at her, he unlocked his apartment and Beth was no longer hanging on him. There were tears in her eyes and she was standing away from him.

"Good lord." Daryl said rolling his eyes. "Come 'ere."

Beth cautiously moved toward him and he led her into the small living space, there was a small kitchenette to the left, a couch with a small television set on the right, then when you looked to your far right there were two doors, both bedrooms, off of the living room. When Daryl closed the door and locked it. Beth turned and fell into his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist with her head buried in his neck.

"Let's get you to bed." Daryl said pulling her off of him and leading her into his room.

It was clean and in Daryl's room there was a bed against the wall with a dark blue bed spread, a nightstand beside his bed with a lamp on it and some books. He had a bathroom to the left. Other than that, his room is pretty much just a plain room. There were clothes on the floor in front of his bed along with a few pairs of boots and three different crossbows against the wall and a loaded one wright next to his bed. He carried her over to the bed and laid her down.

"I'm gonna go sleep on the couch, okay?" He said softly, pulling the covers over he small frame.

"Why?" Beth asked, still incredibly drunk.

"You just sleep here." He commanded, annoyed.

"No, please..- come here." Beth whined her words slurring.

"You're a mess." Daryl said shaking his head and walking into his living room to sleep on the couch. Beth passed out on the bed while Daryl stretched out on the couch and went to sleep in an instant.

Around six in the morning, Daryl woke up to choking sounds in the bathroom. 'Oh it's hitting her hard.' He thought. He got up hazily and went to see if she was okay, he walked into his room and into his bathroom to see that she was on her knees puking. Daryl groaned and knelt beside her and brushed her hair back from her face. She looked at him and moaned, before whipping her head back to the toilet to puke more,

"Where am I?" She asked, she was still a little drunk.

"My apartment. Do you remember me?" Daryl asked, hoping that she remembered him.

"Kinda. I just-" She cut herself off by vomiting into the toilet agin.

"God. You got fucked up." Daryl said almost smirking, causing Beth to grimace.

"Step off." Beth said annoyed. "I think I'm okay."

"You done throwing chunks or..?" Daryl said cautiously, "I don't want you to puke on my bed."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm good." Beth said holding her head. Daryl noticed she has vomit down her shirt and her jean shorts didn't look to comfortable.

"Hey sweetheart? Can ya look up for a minute?" Daryl said getting her attention, "Do you wanna stay a while longer?" Daryl asked. He still felt bad for giving her drinks, but damn it wasn't really his fault was it? She took them, but that couldn't change that he felt like shit.

"I might have something for you to change into." Daryl said shyly, coaxing her into staying.

"No, no I'm alright. We just. Wait we didn't?" Beth asked, suddenly getting worried as assumptions popped into her head.

"We didn't what?" Daryl asked confused

"Did we have sex? Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm- what the hell is wrong with me!" Beth said panicking as she stood up.

"No! No. We didn't, you were just drunker than hell and I didn't know what to do about ya. You couldn't even speak. I would have taken ya home but I didn't where ya lived." Daryl explained calmly. Beth signed in relief and walked out of the bathroom Daryl followed her.

"You can stay if ya want. I mean it's fine. I can take you back to yer truck later and you can get home." Daryl said as she stood there shocked. He furrowed his brow in confusion at her rapid change in emotion. 'Yep, she was definitely smashed." Daryl thought.

"Oh my god. Daryl, I'm a horrible person." Beth said.

"Just calm down. Do you remember anythin' from last night?" Daryl asked as he looked through his drawer. He pulled out a button up red and blue plaid shirt and tossed it to her, "Here, put that on."

"I don't remember anything, I just I kinda remember you and then it's all black." Beth said taking her shirt off revealing her breasts, Daryl looked away, his cheeks burning at her indiscretion, then looked back when she had the plaid shirt on, it went down to her knees.

"I'm gonna take my pants off too, is that alright?" She asked all to innocently.

"Uhm yeah, whatever." Daryl said awkwardly. She slid them off and sat down on the bed, he went over and sat next to her. She looked over at him.

"Your names Daryl, right?" She asked batting her eyes at him.

"Uh, yeah." He replied looking away.

"Do you know mine?" She asked. "Beth Greene."

"Yeah, I remembered." He said smirking

"Can I lay down? I have a headache." She asked, rubbing her temples.

"Sure." He grumbled and started to get up.

"You don't have to leave." She said grabbing his shoulder, causing him to reflexively twitch away. Daryl groaned and looked at her funny.

"Keep me company?" Beth pleaded with a small pouty face.

"I don't know." Daryl said reluctantly.

"Please" Beth asked pulling him down to lie net to her. He didn't resist and and laid down next to her. She smiled and turned to face the wall and closed her eyes and they both fell asleep.

"Well, well, well." Daryl woke up to a voice saying. He opened his eyes and saw Merle, his brother. Merle was standing over his bed laughing.

"Just shut the hell up." Daryl growled at him, rubbing his eyes.

"You got some last night, didn't you baby brother?" He said still chucking.

"Stop." Daryl said "It ain't what it looks like."

"Whatever you say, lemme make you a deal. How 'bout I get some of that?" Merle said licking his lips and smiling.

"No. Go away, damn." Daryl grunted throwing a pillow at him. Beth rolled over and opened her eyes to see Merle standing there.

"Who is that?" Beth asked sleepily, looking over at Merle.

"My brother." Daryl said angrily darting his eyes at Merle letting him know he was pissed. Merle put his hands up and walked out of the room backwards, shutting the door.

"Dick." Daryl said under his breath.

Beth looked at the clock, it said 10:00 AM "Oh no. I gotta go. My daddy is probably really worried about me." Beth said getting up frantically. She started to undo buttons on the shirt, but Daryl stopped her.

"You can just keep it." He said, pulling his boots on.

"You sure?" She asked concerned.

"Yea I'm sure. You don't want that vomit stained shirt do you?" He grumbled, stretching.

"Well no...but-" Beth started, but Daryl put his hand up.

Daryl cut her off, "Just take my offer, 'kay?"

She accepted the offer and put her cut off jean shorts back on with her white converse shoes. She tucked in the plaid shirt and put her hair in a braid. Daryl grabbed his wallet and they were out the door. They walked back to the bar and exchanged goodbyes.

"Look I'm really sorry I kept offering you drinks." Daryl admitted, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"It's not your fault. I kept taking them, it's my fault. I'm an adult and I need to take responsibility for my own actions" She said,

"Well I still feel like shit and I'm sorry." Daryl said softly earring an understanding smile from Beth.

"You said you work at the auto shop right?" She asked dropping the subject.

"Yeah." He answered.

"Maybe I will see ya around later." Beth said to him with a smile.

"Maybe." He said cranking up his motorcycle.

Beth walked to her truck and pulled her keys out of her pocket and got into the truck and cranked it up.

"What am I gonna tell my Daddy?" She asked herself. She was so ashamed of herself, she now has gone to a bar and gotten insanely drunk and she should thank god Daryl put up with her. Daryl bought her the drinks but it was her fault for accepting. She pulled out of the bar and drove home not ready to face her father...
