Thanks for the reviews, they mean so much! Those are the reasons I continue the story, the more the better. Thanks again, love you all. (:
Andrea felt her lips tug into an awkward smile. She kept running her fingers through his hair as she whispered sweet nothings to him. Daryl hadn't felt this relaxed in such a long time, way before all of this happened.
"How're you feeling now?" She asked, her hand coming to a rest at the side of his face. Daryl winced as he turned his head away from her hand. "I'm fine." He grunted, pulling the white sheets down to reveal some of his chest.
Andrea's eyes drifted down and quickly made their way back up to his eyes. She couldn't help it. "Alright." She nodded. She gave him a small smile and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.
Daryl noticed Andrea about to press her lips against his cheek. He flinched, his eyes shut tight and head turned the other way. He didn't know what made him do it, it just happened.
"Daryl?" Andrea asked, confused at his retreat. Daryl opened his eyes and looked at her through the corner of his eyes. "Just. Why don't you just leave me alone?" Daryl spat, waving her off.
Andrea frowned, everything was just fine earlier. "I won't hurt you, I promise." Andrea said quietly, trying to calm him down so that the others wouldn't be questioning her later. Daryl rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Yeah, like the time you shot me back at the farm?" Andrea froze in shock, what the hell was wrong with him?
"I didn't mean to! I thought- You know what? You said everything was fine between us." Andrea stated firmly, her jaw clenching as she felt her chest tighten. Daryl sighed, turning over to his side so that his back was to Andrea.
"Fuck off." He replied coldly, almost regretting what he said instantly. There was no taking back the damage that was done though. Andrea had already left the cell, defeated.
Andrea walked around in her cell, her arms folded and a frown on her face. She didn't know what just happened. After she took good care of him, understood him, took the time to be with him. He treated her like this?
She didn't deserve any of this. She was just lonely, she didn't have any of her family left, everyone and everything was stripped from her. Even Michonne was gone, she decided to leave the group also. It just wasn't fair. The hurt and sadness in her body slowly condensed into fear and anger. The frown on her face suddenly turned into determination. Rage charging through her veins, adrenaline pumping in her body.
She kicked the cell door, and her bed. She shoved the stuff that was on the table onto the floor. She screamed out in frustration, slowly sinking down against the wall in exhaustion. She couldn't breathe as she felt her eyes starting to water. She swiftly wiped them away, this was ridiculous, what was she doing? She looked up to see Rick, Glenn, and unfortunately, Daryl.
The three were standing there, their weapons aimed and ready to kill, the look of seriousness spread on their faces. They all lowered their weapons as soon as they saw that Andrea was alright. Andrea stayed silent, not bothering to look at any of them. She shakily stood up, leaning against the wall.
"What's going on?" Rick questioned, his light blue eyes studying her. Andrea shook her head before brushing past them. "Nothing important." She trudged across the catwalk, not looking behind her.
Andrea didn't understand why she was so affected by what happened earlier. Maybe he wasn't in a good mood, maybe she was just being overdramatic. She decided to just go to the watch tower, she just wanted time alone.
Andrea felt her legs growing weak as she went up the stairs, it was a long way up. She opened the door and the cool air blew against her face. She enjoyed the feeling of the slight breeze on her skin, it felt so good. She leaned against the balcony, the wide open range in her view. The stars in the sky were shining even brighter.
The silence made her focus on what she had. She started to think that she should have left with Michonne, again. Andrea had her eyes closed, she didn't even notice the door opening and closing behind her.
Andrea's eyes shot open as she felt a large hand on her shoulder. She turned her head sharply, looking at the hand that was on her shoulder. She realized who it was. She slowly looked up at him and then returned her focus on the view in front of her.
"Thought you wanted me to 'fuck off'" Andrea reminded him. Daryl's hand left her shoulder, a cold feeling swept across her body. "About that." He started. Andrea turned her head slightly to look at him. "I'm uh.. sorry about earlier. Didn't mean to do that." He said, scratching the back of his neck.
She gave him a small smile. "I know." She whispered. He stood next to her, his crossbow slung over his shoulder. "It's okay." She added, licking her lips as she still avoided eye contact with him.
The comfortable silence they used to share was now odd. Andrea wrapped her arms around herself, trying to ignore the chills that were running up and down her spine.
She shivered violently, biting her lip as she looked down at her feet. Daryl scanned her over, she looked hurt. In multiple ways, she was just like him. He doesn't know what she's been through, but he felt bad.
Daryl took his crossbow in his other arm and moved closer to her. He was a man of few words, and he was sure as hell happy she didn't mind. He slowly wrapped an arm around her. He wasn't sure what women liked, but this was a start.
Andrea automatically leaned into him, their body heat radiating through each other. Daryl felt her arms wrap around his waist, her face burying into his chest. He still didn't know what to do. Merle was the lucky one. He was a smooth talker, real charming with the ladies.
But right now, Daryl could care less. It was him and Andrea right now, no one else. Who knows when they could do this again? Just them two, alone, quiet, enjoying each others company.
Maybe he could let her in.
Thanks for reading. This was so hard to write for some reason, but it was sooo worth it! Please, please, please review if you can. It helps me so much. Anything you'd like to see? Thanks again, love you guys! (:
