Hidden Love
Chapter One: Drunk Kiss
Beth

The sun shining through my cell woke me from my sleep and I groaned as I heard everyone getting up as well. I got our of bed and got changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt then I went out to the table where I sat down as Carol handed out breakfast to everyone. Judith started crying and Rick was trying to make the bottle so I took her off him to hold her so that he could prepare the bottle properly "You finish your breakfast and I'll feed her" I told Rick who thanked me and sat down at the table so he could finish the last of his breakfast.

Carl got up and placed a kiss on Judith's head as he walked past her, he went and got some breakfast and then came and sat back down next to me. Judith finished her bottle so I burped her and then Rick came and took her off me "Thank you Beth you are a God send" He told me with a smile.

"It's okay" I told Rick with a shrug.

"Do you fancy going out on a run today with Daryl?" He asked me "Get you out of here for a couple hours" He stated and I nodded excitedly "Great. I'll go let Daryl know, he normally goes after he's had breakfast" He told me.

I finished my breakfast and went out to where the cars were kept and I seen Daryl leaning against his bike, I went over to him smiling at him excited for my day. Daryl handed me a gun "Only use it if you really need too" He told me and I nodded and put it in the waistband of my jeans "I'll be by your side the whole time… we go in and get out as quickly as possible" He said and I agreed.

We got into his bike and we left the prison and drove for about an hour or so before stopping in a street that was covered in shops. Daryl parked the bike and he looked around the area to make sure the noise of the bike hadn't attracted any unwanted visitors. We went into a pharmacy and grabbed the medication that we would need then Daryl pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket "What's that?" I asked him.

"A shopping list from everyone" He stated.

"Want some help?" I asked and I went to take the list off him.

"No it's fine" He said and moved away from me. He picked up a few boxes of condoms and I looked at him "Glenn" He stated and I shivered from the disgust.

We went into all the places we needed to and got everything we would need and as we made our way back to the bike when I seen a bar "Can we go inside?" I asked Daryl as he loaded everything to the bike.

"No" He stated.

"Why?" I asked.

"We didn't come here to get drunk, we came here to get supplies" He said.

"But it will cheer everyone up. For one night everyone can have a release and just forget everything that's going on… plus I've never had an alcoholic drink before" I told him.

"Alright we go in but we stay no longer then two minutes" He said and I nodded.

We walked into the bar and I went behind the bar and started looking around for things to bring back "What's good to bring back?" I asked him, I knew absolutely nothing about alcohol. Since we wasn't allowed to have drink in the house because of my dad I didn't know what was good or bad.

Daryl came up behind me and reached above my head and grabbed a bottle of amber liquid "You can never go wrong with whiskey" He stated.

I moved around to the other side of the bar where I seen more bottles, I reached up to grab a bottle labelled 'VODKA' and I knew from my friends that vodka would get you very drunk. I put the bottle down on the bar as I looked around for something else to bring back.

I heard the familiar groan of a walker from behind me and turned to see a man coming at me with his arms stretched wide "Daryl" I said nervously. I didn't have enough time to jump down and run towards Daryl, the walker grabbed my arm and was about to bite when an arrow shot through it's head and it fell to the floor "You okay?" Daryl asked as he reached me and I nodded.

We decided to leave the bar so we grabbed everything we found and went back towards the bike, we made sure everything was secure before driving off and heading back towards the prison. I had my arms tightly wrapped around Daryl's waist and I leaned my head on his bike. I could smell tobacco and leather, it was strange but the smell of Daryl made me feel safe… it made everyone feel safe! Whenever we were in trouble and we knew Daryl was around we all knew that we would be okay because Daryl would always save the day. If anyone was going to survive a zombie apocalypse then it was going to be Daryl Dixon.

When we got back to the prison everyone rushed over to us to see what we had brought back for them. I seen Daryl slyly hand Glenn the bag that had the boxes of condoms in and Glenn smirked before rushing off, probably to find Maggie, I smiled at Daryl who just shrugged.

Me and Daryl decided to hide the alcohol until after dinner, we didn't want people going crazy and getting drunk before they had done their daily duties. Daryl told Rick about it who also decided that it would be best to hide it until after everyone had dinner, I wanted to go and tell my dad we had it because then he could make up his mind or not if he wanted to stick around after dinner. I personally think he should stay and have one or two whiskeys to prove to not only everyone else but himself that he doesn't have to turn into an alcoholic every time he sniffs it.

I went and found dad in his cell reading the bible "Daddy can I talk to you?" I asked him, he nodded and closed his book as I went and sat down next to him "You can't tell anyone else this because we want to keep it a surprise but… on the supply run me and Daryl brought back some alcohol" I stated.

He nodded slowly "And you want me to make myself scarce" He said.

"No actually I want you to stick around, prove that you can have just a couple pf drinks and it doesn't need to be every last drop. If you don't want to then it's okay but I just wanted to let you know so you can make the choice yourself" I explained to him.

"Well I'll think about it" He said.

"Okay well it'll be after dinner that we give it to everyone so you have a few hours to make your mind up" I told him.

Carl took Judith to bed and the rest of us sat around the table after clearing away dinner, Maggie said she was going to have an early night when I told her to wait. Daryl and Rick disappeared for a few minutes and before coming back with the alcohol, everyone smiled widely and Carol rushed off to get everyone something to drink out of and everyone was poured a whiskey "To surviving" Rick toasted.

"To Beth and Daryl for bringing back the booze!" Maggie stated.

"To Beth for coming up with the idea" Daryl said and raised his glass.

"To Beth" Everyone toasted and everyone's cups clinked together.

Everyone sighed in amazement as they sipped the amber liquid, I watched as my dad studied the cup for a few moments before taking a sip. He smiled at me and pushed my cup towards me "You deserve it" He whispered.

Daryl

Drunk wasn't the word for what everyone was right now. Most people had gone off to bed and it was just me and Beth left. Maggie and Glenn had run off somewhere to probably use those condoms and Hershel had fell asleep at the table, Carol had gone to bed after a couple drinks and so did Sasha and Tyreese. Rick had just stumbled off to bed and now Beth was so drunk she couldn't walk. She went to pour herself another drink when I grabbed her hand "I think you've had enough for one night" I told her.

"I don't think so Mr Dixon" I rolled my eyes at her and got up from my seat to help her stand up as she couldn't do it on her own. I picked her up like a bride and started walking to her cell, she wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her head on my shoulder "You're very comfortable Mr Dixon" She mumbled and closed her eyes.

I walked into her cell and laid her down on her bed, I took her boots off and put the covers over her to keep her warm. I realised now that with her eyes closed how young she actually looked, she was beautiful though. I moved a strand of her blonde hair out of her face and was about to walk out of her cell when she called me back "What's the matter?" I asked her thinking she needed to be sick or something.

"Come here" She said between hiccups. I crouched down beside her head and she lifted hers up "Thank you… for looking…. After… me" She said and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Don't worry about it, get to sleep" I told her.

As I was about to stand up she grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me back to her, her lips rested on mine and she started kissing me. I was in shock but I soon started kissing her back. Her arms went around my neck to hold me there and as soon as her tongue licked my bottom lip wanting to gain entrance I pulled back "What?" She asked me looking a little rejected.

"Go to sleep" I told her before placing a kiss on her forehead.

I went back to my cell and laid down on my bed. I started thinking about Beth and about how much I actually enjoyed kissing her, I know it's wrong because she's only 18 years old and she's Hershel's daughter but… well she was sweet, funny, talented and beautiful. Any man would be more then lucky to have Beth Greene as his girlfriend or wife, I can't believe that she kissed me! I didn't think she had thought about me like that.

Maybe she doesn't think of me like that, maybe it was just the drink "Of course it's the drink" I whispered to myself before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
