Once inside the CDC they were greeted by Jenner. The entire group was eager to eat, and Jenner was happy to oblige. As they sat down at the table to eat a small group consisting of two men and a woman joined them. Jenner explained that they had shown up only days earlier from the same reason Rick and his group had come there.
Everyone drank, ate and joked about anything and everything. It was like a class reunion. Everyone seemed be having a good time. The place was locked down tight, no way in or out. For a moment everybody was able to relax and just enjoy themselves. When dinner was over Jenner showed them to the wing with rooms where they could sleep. When he told them there was still hot water, the women squealed.
People filed into rooms. Kelly walked into a room, Daryl walked in right behind her. Andrea laughed to herself when she saw the two of them go into a room together. When Daryl shut the door behind him Kelly turned to question him. "What are you doing?"
"I'm staying with you." He was blunt and to the point. Kelly smiled and turned her back to him. When she turned back around he was holding out a beer. "Here, they had a surplus." His speech couldn't hide the fact that he'd had more than a few. Kelly's face turned red. It hit her all at once. All those painful memories came flooding back. And there it was. She knew who it was that he reminder her of.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it. Your just like him." Kelly grabbed a sweater and walked out the door. Daryl put his beer down and ran after her. He finally caught up with her back in the main computer room. He took her by the arm, turning her to face him.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He took hold of her other arm.
"Let go of me!" She growled at him. Daryl just looked at her. He refused to let go. She got tired of waiting so she pulled free of his grip. "My god, I can't believe I didn't see it until now." She walked to the other side of the room and stood. From the look in her eyes, it was hard to tell that she felt anything other than hate for him.
"Christ sake, what is going on, your talking crazy. I offer you a beer and you go off the deep end?"
"Just leave me alone." Kelly turned her back to him once again. But this time it wasn't because she was mad. It was because she started to cry. She hated the thought of him, or anyone for that matter, seeing her cry. She couldn't remember the last time she'd cried. Especially over this stuff.
Daryl wasn't one to stick around where he wasn't wanted. If she wouldn't talk to him then to hell with her. Just as he got to the door to leave he herd her wimpier. Taking a deep breath he swallowed his pride, deciding to be the adult in the situation. He walked to her. One hand on her shoulder he rubbed her back with the other. He was trying to defuse the issue, but his actions only further infuriated her.
Kelly swatted his hands from her and flew into a full rage. "Don't touch me. I'm not doing this. I'm getting involved with you."
"Well I hate to burst your bubble, but your already involved with me." Daryl was mad now. He wasn't completely sure why. But she could be pissed for no good reason then so could he.
"Go to hell, you no reading, deer hunting, beer drinking SOB!" She picked up the closest thing she could reach and threw it at him. Daryl ducked at the stapler came just inches from impaling his head. She left the computer room to return to the room she was going to share with Daryl. He followed her. After almost taking a stapler to the head he wasn't going to just let her walk away.
He turned the corned to walk into the door of their room. "What are you doing?" He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Kelly had a knife and she was cutting a whole in the crotch of his only other pair of pants. He ran to try and take the knife from her. She turned and pointed it at him.
"Go ahead, take it from me." She had a crazy look in her eyes. Daryl looked around the room. They had to be some way of getting her attention, distracting her just long enough to get the knife from her. "You need to leave, now. I don't want to talk to you, see you or even know your around." She circled around him. Not wanting to turn his back on her he turned with her.
Looking down at his side he noticed a large book. Picking it up he threw it at her causing her to drop the knife. Suddenly the room erupted. Books, cloths, personal items anything and everything that could be thrown was. Daryl ducked and dodged trying to get close enough to her to stop her. Rick was walking by when he herd the racket.
Walking inside Rick immediately sidestepped a book. "What is going on?" He asked like a parent that had just walked into the room of his two fighting teenagers.
"I don't know, she just went crazy." Daryl answered.
"I wan him out!" Kelly threw another book at him. She turned to Rick to try to get him to make Daryl leave. With her looking away from him Daryl took advantage and jumped on her. Rapping his arms around her holding her still. "Let go of me you drunk."
"No, tell me what is wrong." Daryl struggled to hold onto her as she squirmed next to his body.
"Daryl maybe you should let her go." Rick got closer, unsure of weather to make Daryl leave the room, or let him get out of her what was really wrong. After all Kelly was acting a little crazy.
"No, Rick make him let me go." She yelled.
"Dam it just tell me what is wrong!"
"Your drinking, your just like my dad!" She cried out as the tears began to fall. Daryl held onto for a minute before he let her go. The second she was free of his grasp she stood up, pushed past Rick and ran out of the room. Neither man knew what to say. Rick just left the room. What ever had just happen was between Kelly and Daryl, he had enough going on with out trying to figure out what was going on between the two of them.
Daryl got to his feet to start picking up the room. He picked up his pants. After looking them over he threw them away. There was no way to save them. Kelly had never talked about the past. He just assumed it was to painful. Or much like his own childhood, it was nothing to brag about. Turns out he was right.
