The two women made their way over to the drunk mess, shaking their heads. Beth looked like a deer in headlights when she spotted them, yet she continued to giggle and fall into Daryl. He, on the other hand, was still shaken up at what she had said a few moments ago. He cleared his throat as he struggled to keep her on her feet.

"Well, well, well," Carol sighed as she crossed her arms. Carol had reunited with the two hours before, and told them how she got back to the group, and explained what happened to Mika and Lizzie. Daryl understood immediately, while Beth had to take a minute to absorb the information. Eventually she gave Carol a reassuring smile, saying, "You did what you had to do."

Maggie stuck out her hip and looked down at Beth. "You know, I'm all out for having a good time every now and then, but this is ridiculous. Beth, when did you start drinkin'?" she questioned as she took her from Daryl's arms. He immediately wiped his sweaty forehead with the back of his hand and grabbed his bag. "Looks like I'm on watch tonight," Maggie exclaimed, raising her eyebrows.

She looked over at Daryl, who was about to make his escape. "Do you have somethin' to do with this?" she interrogated, nodding her head over to her sister.

He shrugged and threw up his hands. "It's all her. She was on a mission," he defended as he started to walk away from the stumbling Beth who was waving to him. He shook his head.

He had always heard that people always tell the truth when they're drunk…but was that the case here? He didn't know what, or even how to feel. He didn't even know where he stood with her. When they first got out together, he saw himself as her protector, and just that. Now, it felt different.

He went to a certain spot on the ground and lay in the dirt. He thought and thought about the night's events, until the alcohol encouraged his eyes to close.

Daryl woke up with a headache, but it wasn't too bad. He still remembered everything that happened.

"I love you."

He slowly got up and looked around. Rick was packing things up, with Judith sitting in a blanket next to him. He caught Daryl's eye and smiled. "We're gonna head out in, maybe, ten minutes, alright? Would you mind getting Beth? I think she's still sleeping," he exclaimed, cocking his head over to the tent. Daryl nodded.

As he opened the drape to the tent, he noticed Beth, sprawled out on her stomach. Her mouth was open and her hair was messy, but she still managed to look beautiful. He hesitated to wake her. "Beth," he whispered, as he knelt down next to her. No answer.

"Beth, get up," he stated, a little louder this time, nudging her shoulder. She groaned.

He took his hand and put some of her hair behind her ear. Her eyes opened slightly, looking, sleepily around for a figure. "Hmm?" she made out.

"Let's go Greene," he said, rising to his feet again. She was definitely hung over, as she rolled over and squinted her eyes. She put her hands up to her head and held them there.

Daryl sighed as he went behind her and put his hands on her sides, just below her armpits. He lifted her up, and she yawned. "Oh my god, I feel terrible," she admitted, wiping her eyes.

Daryl rolled his eyes. "Hangover. We're leavin' in a few minutes. When we stop again I want to start trainin' ya again," he exclaimed, looking behind him.

She opened her mouth, knitting her eyebrows. "Really? I don't think that's a good idea in the state I'm in…I could end up shootin' you instead of one of them," she laughed.

"I'll take that risk," he smirked, walking out of the tent.

Beth walked beside him when the group left their area. They walked several miles down the road, finally finding a small cabin. Daryl and Rick cleared the house. It wasn't perfect, but there were a couple of rooms and it seemed comfortable, at least for a short while. After they settled in, Daryl took Beth out in the woods. She hadn't mentioned the previous night at all. Maybe she didn't remember, or maybe she did and was too embarrassed to talk about it.

Beth listened to him as he told her to shoot at a specific spot on a tree with his crossbow. She was surprisingly accurate almost every time. She wasn't kidding about getting practice when she was held up at the hospital. Between shots, she would look at Daryl.

She was confused, he didn't return her gaze often, and didn't speak. He was acting like he did when she found him. What happened last night? She remembered telling him about the hospital, and him telling her more of his past…but after that, it was just a blur. Something must have went wrong if he was acting this way. So Beth decided to come right up front and ask him.

"So, do you remember what happened last night?" she asked, as she pulled a few arrows out of the tree and strolled back towards him. She looked for his eyes to meet hers. "'Cause I don't," she laughed.

Daryl gulped and looked at the ground. "Uh, yeah," he started. "Hell of a night." He finally looked up at her. When she felt like she had been staring for too long, she turned her attention back to the crossbow.

"What exactly happened?" she asked, shooting at the tree again, hitting it spot on. She looked back towards him. "I remember bits and pieces," she concluded.

He cleared his throat. Should he tell her? Maybe he should just forget it… "Well, we talked, we told embarrassing stories, I talked about Merle…you talked about the hospital, we had a good time," he exclaimed, rubbing the hair on his chin. He found that he did that when he was either deep in thought or incredibly uncomfortable.

"Mhhm," Beth hummed. "Anything else?" she questioned, making her way to the tree again. Daryl paused.

Beth put the arrow in the weapon and aimed to shoot. She waited for his response first.

Daryl started to shake his head, but then muttered, "And then, uh…you said you loved me,"

She spun around nervously as she accidentally shot the crossbow out into the woods. She wanted to look and Daryl and explain herself but decided to distract herself with the arrow. Daryl's breath began to speed up. "I mean, you were drunk, and—" he started.

"That was so stupid!" she sighed as she lowered the crossbow and started to walk away. What did she mean? The arrow going completely off track, or the "I love you"?

Beth began to panic as she frantically looked for the lost arrow. Her thoughts scattered everywhere. Beth, you're an idiot! Why would you say that? But then again, did she love him? She knew she felt something for him, and the feelings had been growing ever since she had hugged him from behind at the country club. They had started to grow when she saw Daryl so…vulnerable. And then when he opened up to her on the porch, she felt like they respected each other. E ven if she did mean it, she couldn't bring herself to tell him that, at least not right now.

She sped up when she found the arrow laying in the leaves. She went to pick it up, not paying attention, and not looking behind her to see if he followed her. Suddenly, she heard rustling in the leaves. She turned around, expecting it to be Daryl.

In seconds she was face to face with one walker, with another coming up from behind. "Daryl!" she yelled.

She immediately started to fumble with the crossbow, her hands shaking. She backed up, forgetting the second walker and fell backwards dropping the crossbow. Daryl ran to her aid like lightning, but he wasn't fast enough compared to two walkers ganging up on her. She started to scream as she quickly tried crawling out of the way. Daryl panicked as his crossbow was impossible to grab.

He ran to the walker closest to Beth, as it grabbed onto her leg; it's mouth too close to her jeans. Daryl grabbed the back of the walker with one hand, the other hand reaching for his knife. At the same time, she tried to kick it out of the way, and then Daryl heard her shriek.
