Beth POV
I was taking care of Judith like always; she was tired but didn't wanna sleep So I walked around the cell block for a while.
I could listen them in some cell, making a list of important things to get in the next run, There was Maggie, Dad, Rick and probably Daryl and another women from woodbury.
I would like to go on a run someday but that may never happen so I was trying to look around for different things to do other than take care of children, cook or wash dirty clothes.
On the last few days I was able to help with some walkers on the fence and the gate, I even help with the cars but I was sure they give those jobs because they're safe and because they feel sorry for my boyfriend.
During those days I also realized that I didn't feel a thing, I wasn't feeling sad because of Zack, or because my stupid existence. I was just… not feeling anything.
Judith finally fell asleep and I put her on her crib as gentle as possible but then I hear footsteps behind me.
- Hey. – It was Daryl looking weird at me, like I was some wounded bird.
- Oh. Hi. Daryl. – I said while I cover Judith with a blanket.
- I was just wandering if ya wanna something from the next run. Something for ya or Lil ass Kicker. Other than formula. – He said moving is shoulders up. I turn my back to him and look to the baby again.
- No, Thanks'. I think I have everything I need.
Daryl POV
I decided to check on lil'ass kicker… and Beth. The girl was acting like nothing happened. I just realized that was not normal in women.
- Are ya sure? Maybe another notebook, I notice ya write a lot. - She didn't answer- Or maybe some candy?! – She turns to me again and gives a little smile then she walked my direction and grab my arm so I follow her away from the cell.
- She didn't wanna sleep today. – She say almost in a whisper and then smiled at me. – Some candy would be good. If you find some. Please don't get in trouble just for that.
She haven't let go of my arm and I was stupid enough to turn around in her direction bumping into her and making her lose some balance. In a fast movement I grab her waist pulling her back to me.
The position was even worst than when she hugged me because now even our legs were tangled somehow. It looked like every movement was unconscious and fast. She grabbed the belt of my jeans and use it to get straight and once she get up and got her balance back I stepped away from her.
- Sorry there girl. I'll see what I can find. – I said stepping back again.
- No problem and Thank you, Daryl, for everything. – She smiled at me again and her eyes glow so I give her a little smile back.
While I was in the run the only thing Stuck in my head was that damn smile and because of it I needed to check the list a hundred times. Even Michonne noticed that I was not having my best days.
I was getting so angry at myself but then I found some candy, the only one that still good to eat was a chocolate so a took it on my jacket. I would give her later.
I suddenly felt realized. Maybe this would help that girl. It was not a big comfort but it was something to make me feel less guilty about her boyfriend death.
