Whoo chapter 7 here we go J Also as I'm progressing with my English you will notice there are a few "big" and "smart" words in this chapter, just trying them out, let me know if you like the way everything's written, or if you would like me to change it. Although I'm very happy with the subject matter for this chapter overall.

"Ugh can't ya'll do that somewhere else?"

Glenn spoke once his mouth had finally disconnected with Maggie's after 3 minutes of visual vomit.

"You could always go somewhere else"

Daryl rose from his chair and walked away for the millionth time. He was sick of walking away, or being called over to do something, that's why he enjoys Carol's company, she'll accept whatever he has to say, and won't force him leave. He's always welcome with her.

"It ain't fair!"

Carol laughed, amused by Daryl's boyish attitude towards most situations.

"What?"
"You're cute when you're mad"
Daryl rolled his eyes.

"So what's the scoop on Matt?"

"I don't wanna say I hate the guy, cause he's not hateful, he's just too boundary pushing, he's annoying, he pisses me off to be honest"

"I spoke to him about an hour ago he seemed well mannered enough to me"

"Well mannered?" Daryl scoffed.

"He's very charming" Daryl noticed Carol blushing as she made her opinion known to him.

"How charming his he then?" Daryl questioned as he prolonged the clearly effortless task, being the sterilization of his crossbow while Carol's embarrassment refused to cease.

"I don't really know what you want me to say"
"Just making conversion"

There was a suspension of talking for the next five minutes. Carol and Daryl were more than comfortable sitting in silence, another person being present was all that was required when it came to their company. It is always nice knowing that someone is fond enough of you to have the simple desire to be around you, but not need to have a conversation to be fully satisfied.

"He's very good looking" Carol was the first to speak, although her declination to look up from her busy hands, which had been folding clothes for the past five minutes suggested she was still embarrassed over her opinion on Matt Phillips.

"Is that so?"

Carol nodded.

"Well don't let me get in your way"

Carol looked up hastily.

"What do you mean?"
"You find him attractive" Daryl spoke in a slow manner, treating her like a child who needed something obvious explained.

"Well. Err, yeah but I'm not going to do anything about it"

"Just as well, guys an arsehole"

"I told you, he's nice!"
Matt appeared too instantaneously for either one of them to look like they were actually doing anything important.

"Hey guys, what are you up to?"
Carol's gratified eyes met Matt's and she spoke.

"I'm having a lovely conversation with Daryl here"

"Cool..cool" Matt seemed a bit out of place.

"You okay?" Carol asked suddenly worried.

"Just bored"
Daryl jeered.

"There a problem?"

"It's the apocalypse, I wouldn't be complaining about boredom buddy, how about you just be grateful you're alive"
Matt placed his hands on his hips and presented Daryl with a look that could only be described as challenging.

"If you recall, I said thanks when you saved me, so how about we cut the crap and actually try to get along"

Daryl glared at him again.

"And I apologized to Rick"

"What?"

"I apologized!" He exclaimed, clearly pissed off with Daryl.

"I told him I was sorry about his wife, she was a nice lady, I didn't mean to insult him!"
Daryl stood up in confusion.

"And what did he say?"

"He said he appreciates my sympathy but doesn't understand how I insulted him" Matt began to create circles around Daryl.

"And that's when I realised that I was thinking of you when I said I was sorry, I was thinking about how angry you got when I mentioned the possibility of him being gay and that Lori was some sort of cover up to hide the fact"

At this point mid-way through their conversation Carol was eagerly listening in on the information Daryl had neglected to share with her.

"Can you not say that you may have over reacted?"
Daryl took a few steps closer to Matt, his facial expression turning livid.

"Over reacted!" Before a shouting match could be announced to everyone in the prison, Matt cut in, his arms in front of him for protection.

"I'm a blunt guy and say what's on my mind, can it be annoying? Yes, do I deserve to be punished for it? No, so how about you sit down, relax and think about the conversation that took place yesterday again, because if I recall I didn't say or do anything wrong"
There was a silence, during which a sudden realization came to Daryl's face. Matt gave him a simple annoyed but satisfied smile, patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

"Well that was…interesting"

"That's really what you were angry about?"
Daryl wasn't completely confident about his next choice of words.

"Well…he was rude to Rick wasn't he? I had to step in and say he was out of line…didn't I?" He said unsure.

Carol put down the clothes and walked over to him, placing her hands on both his shoulders forcing him to face her.

"Daryl, he didn't say any of that to Rick, none of it at all, are you going to be mad at someone who not only voiced their opinion, but did it using enough human decency to not offend who they were talking about, by not talking about it in front of them?"

Daryl simply stared at her. She smiled and gave him a hug, he patted her back as he thought about his sudden rage.

When she pulled away she gave him a playful smile.

"Looks like someone might be a bit jealous"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, to explain it to you in the simplest way I possibly can" She turned Daryl and herself so they were both facing the railing from which they could see Rick and Matt talking and laughing to themselves.

"Rick is having a tough time, and you've been making him happy lately"

Daryl frowned at her comment.

"But now, it seems as though there is someone else who also has the ability to make Rick happy"

She paused.

"And this bothers you"
Yay! I actually really enjoyed writing this chapter, it was a bit annoying to make sure my language was correct and all that, but I'm very happy with the end result. Once again please review, favourite, follow, all that good stuff J until next time guys! Thanks for reading!
