~OoO~
"Are you seriously going to choose this man over us, Daryl? You heard what happened to Glenn. How he tortured him, left him in a room with a walker. And what the Governor did to Maggie."
"Yeah, but they're alive now, ain't they? They managed to get away. Look, I know what Merle did, Rick, but he's family. Despite the dumb shit he did before, before this fuckin' apocaplypse, he's still my family."
"So what do you call the others back at the prison? What are they to you? They're your family, too."
"Merle's my family, though. By blood."
"And where he has he been throughout the entire year? He wasn't there to help us scavenge for supplies, he wasn't there to help us look for new home. He didn't do nothin' because he wasn't with us."
"It was yer fault fer leavin' him up in that damn building. Ya left him there to die."
"Only because he was becoming a threat to us. He wouldn't cooperate with us, he wouldn't listen to us. Couldn't trust him. Daryl, all I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't go with him. At all. He's working for the Governor, who knows what's he's got him doing to you. This could be a trick and-"
"Don't say any of that bullshit, Rick! You can't tell me what to do, dammit! I ain't no fuckin' child! It's been too fuckin' long since I've seen Merle, Rick and I need to see him again. You think I'm just gonna abandon my brother like that? Like what you did before?"
"I'm thinking you should stay with us, Daryl. He could get you killed out there and you've been doin' fine with us. Just stay with us, we need you."
"..."
"I want you to stay with us, Daryl. Please, don't make me beg."
"...I can't. I fuckin' can't Rick. I can't leave him, not again and not anymore."
"So that's it, then. You're just leave us like that? What about Judith? Carl? What about Carol? She cares about you, too. Don't do this."
"She'll understand. They all will."
"I don't understand you, Daryl. I don't believe this..."
"I'm sorry, Rick...I'm sorry...but I'm not leavin' him."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Your family needs you, Daryl. Your real family, the one who's been with you all this time...they need you...I need you..."

A/N: To me, dialogue is the most hardest part when it comes to writing. I mean...I love writing the details out but it's adding the talking that has me feeling nervous. Literally. Why, I've no clue. So in this little drabble...I wanted to try and practice a little. I think I did alright but I still want to practice a little more.
Anyway, rambling again...hope ya'll like it! :D
