"No!"

Daryl couldn't believe what his eyes were telling him he just saw. No, there was no way he just saw Carol get bit. Nope plain and simple it didn't happen, just his mind playin' tricks on him cause he's tired.

He killed the last walker that was in the field before running across the prison yard to where he stared in horror to where Carol actually lay on the ground. As he reached her Daryl fell to his knees and grabbed her hand and held it in both of his.

"Carol. Carol can you hear me? I-It's Daryl, everything's gunna be fine." He could hear his own desperation in his pleading voice. Carols' eyes fluttered open and when they landed on his face a small smile formed on hers.

"So this is what heaven is like." Her voice sounded very weak and he knew the fever had already set in.

He smiled sadly and chuckled down at her. Instantly feeling tears forming in his eyes but he wouldn't let her see him cry, not now. Not when she needed him most.

"You're an idiot ya know that"

He felt a tear slip down his cheek but he didn't want to let go of her hand to wipe it away so he let it fall off his face and watched as it landed on Carol's. He heard her mumble something and he moved closer to hr face.

"Wh-what did ya say?"

His voice was shakey from emotion but he didn't care, she needed to know how much she meant to him. He watched as Carol lifted her other hand, that he wasn't holding, and wrap it around the back of his neck and pulled him down even move until his forehead was resting on hers.

"I said I love you."

With those few all important words Daryl closed the small gap between them and kissed her, putting all the things he would never have the chance to tell her, into that one important kiss.

It was a long time before Daryl pulled away, but not long enough in his eyes. When he looked down he saw a small smile still remained on her lips, even as her body lay limp and unmoving on the ground. Daryl just sat there frozen for a moment before all his emotions caught up with him and the tears started to fall down his face. He collapsed from the sorrow and lay across her dead body.

He just lay there for what must've been hours, just crying. Thinking of all the horrible things he said to her, of how he couldn't save her little girl. Of how she would never know how much she meant to him. Daryl snapped out of his thoughts when Carol's body started to twitch back to life. He knew what it meant but his mind refused to accept it, and for some reason he still believed it was her. When Daryl looked he wished he hadn't. A deep throat moan started to come out of her lips when she opened her eyes, Daryl could've cried out in pain when he saw them. They were no longer her sparkling blue ones that were always filled with life. No, him instead he found himself staring into grey, dead, empty shells of what they once were. She started to lift herself towards him and he knew right away what he needed to do, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

Carol was now dangerously close to him but he couldn't push her away, he didn't want to push her away again. Daryl decided in that moment he didn't want to live in a world without her in it. He wanted Carol to be the one to kill him, because he was already dead inside without her.

She was only inches away from his face when he heard a gunshot ring out from behind him. Daryl watched in horror as her warm and sticky blood splattered up his face and her body fell back onto the ground. He felt arms wrap around his body and start to drag him away from her. His one love. Before he knew it or react to it, he found himself screaming her name as he was hauled away from the person he loved.

A/N: So this is the edited version off chapter 1, I personally think it's better than the previous, as always reviews are appreciated :) thanks for reading
