Nelle07: You are definitely right that is not going to cut it for Carly! She's too hard-headed!

Carly's mind was reeling. Daryl was kissing her; it felt like she had wanted her whole life for this. But then she remembered how upset he had made her and the way he had talked to her.

She pulled out of the kiss and looked at Daryl, right in his eyes. She wanted to stay, but its not that easy. So she ran, back across the field and back to camp. As she approached camp Shane stood up.

"Carly, what's wrong?" Shane asked.

Carly looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "He makes me so angry; he confuses me, makes my heart hurt." It was not like Carly to be so open but she knew she had to talk to someone about Daryl's confusion and she feared the girls would be no help.

"Dixon?" Shane snarled, "I'll put him in his place. He shouldn't do this to you." Shane went to move and Carly grabbed his arm. "No please, she said. I just need someone to talk to. Come over to my tent with me, I don't want all the gossiping women to hear."

Shane followed Carly over to her tent, his arm wrapped around her shoulders as Carly hugged herself. Daryl walked out of the stable at the perfect moment to see this scene. His heart lurched. He didn't know what to do. He needed to do something so he set off to the edge of camp to clean his kills and to hide any stray tears that might flow out.

Carly talked Shane's ear off, telling him all about her feelings for Daryl. "I think I love him." Shane rolled his eyes. "Dixon? Really, he aint right for you." Shane said. Carly let out a small laugh, "Actually I believe he's the guy I should have met and been with pre-all hell breaking out."

Shane was getting angry. "He just aint for you Carly. You're beautiful and smart. Dixon aint either one of those things, I'm not saying I'm good enough for you either but you know I'd try. And I'd never talk to you like Dixon does."

Carly didn't know what to say. "I know" was all she could muster. Shane shortly left after that and Carly fell into a fitful sleep.

The next morning, Carly slowly exited her tent. She was starving but she was still hurting and scared to see Daryl. She sat down next to the fire and Carol handed her a plate of food. Carly smiled at the woman. Carly sat eating, lost in her own thoughts so she didn't even hear him come up behind her.

"Could I talk at you for a second?" Daryl drawled. Carly was about to answer back but before she could Shane was on his feet answering for her.

"Aint you said enough Dixon?" And with Shane's words, Daryl lost his mind. He came at Shane full blast and knocked him right in the nose. Shane fell to the ground and Daryl continued to sit on him and beat him. Shane was writhing around trying to escape. Then out of nowhere Daryl felt a fist collide with his face.

"Stop it Daryl. Ya need to go cool off." Carly looked like she was about to spit fire.

Daryl got up, "Okay, I'm going into town with Rick and Glen in a bit. Maybe we can talk tonight." And with that he nodded his head at Carly.

Carly let Carol tend to fixing Shane up, Carly grabbed her compound bow and headed to the woods. She was going hunting.

Daryl was climbing into the truck with Glen and Rick. Rick looked over at Daryl and the bruise that was forming on his cheek. "Word is Carly gave you that knot on your cheek there." Rick stated trying to hold back a laugh and Glen did the same.

"She sneaked attacked me." Daryl said and shot glares at both of them.

Silence fell on the truck for a little until Rick decided to speak again.

" I know it aint none of my business Daryl and I know you hate being told what to do. But if you have feelings for Carly like I think you do. You need to tell her or at least try to show her. She deserves to know and if you keep playing around you might lose her to the likes of Shane."

Daryl didn't say anything he just let Rick's words course through his head. He had to do something and he formed a plan in his mind. He would show her, he was better at showing then saying.

When they got to town it was relatively deserted. There were a few walkers that the trio made quick work of. Rick and Glen ran off into different stores to get things the group needed, Daryl however hovered outside and looked through the vehicles outside the stores. Finally he found one that had exactly what he was looking for. Inside the truck window plugged into the radio sat an iPod, Daryl quickly broke the window and snatched it up.
