I've had this done for months, I wanted to make it longer, fix it somehow, make it better, but depression sucks. I have three unfinished works here, now two and it actually helps to know at least this one is done. xxxKrissy

"Should I cast a spell on him, Gina?" Jenny asked as she and her child lay on the couch of her sunroom that weekend. It had been two months and Gina was still mourning the end of her relationship with Daryl.

Jenny so wanted to make this right for Gina, but she couldn't, even if she was convinced Daryl was her daughter's soulmate. Gina had told her that he had broken it off with her, yet he wasn't seeing anyone and neither was Gina.

In Jenny's mind that just meant they missed each other and needed to be together sooner rather than later.

But, Gina wasn't having it.

"No, Mom, don't do that," She wiped her eyes, "He doesn't want me and I don't want him if he doesn't want me."

Jenny wrapped her arms around her daughter, "Oh honey, first love is the pits.."

"Can't you make it stop, it hurts so bad…make it stop hurting."

Jenny ran her fingers through Gina's hair, "I know sweetie I know."

She knew he was going to be there, but she let Lori and Maggie drag her to the party anyway. For most of the summer, she and Daryl had avoided each other but now there was Andrea's Halloween party and everyone wanted to be there.

It was also Daryl's birthday and he was there to get wasted. The year before had been the bonfire and he couldn't bear to think about it.

In hindsight maybe it was a mistake, but she didn't regret it, even now laying in his bed hours later. Daryl had zeroed in on her right away, and she could feel his eyes on her even from across the room. They had been broken up for months, and because it was summertime, they had not seen each other much at all. But as soon as Lori, Tara, Maggie, and Gina walked in all the hair on the back of Daryl's neck rose in goosebumps.

He could feel her in the room before he even laid eyes on her, this was why he had to avoid her, the reaction she caused. It was going to be so hard to stay away from her.

Their eyes met across the room and both of them felt like they were being stabbed in the heart. Still, they went their separate ways and spent time with their friends separately, Daryl stayed outside with Merle and the guys, and got more and more drunk.

As the night wore on Gina had done a few shots and was feeling just fine when she bumped right into Daryl in the hallway as she was coming out of the bathroom. They did that little get out of my way dance, laughed then their eyes locked.

One thing led to another, and they had both had too much to drink. Soon their hands were on each other, he trapped her in a corner, walking her backward all lips and hands and she had let him. They threw each other around the hallway a little then ended up in the laundry room off the bathroom.

It wasn't so loud at the party that people didn't hear them in the laundry room. Daryl had picked her up and sat her on the dryer and they knocked over Andrea's mothers drying rack. Neither of them cared and when their lips met again they knew they could never be separated again.

Their bodies fit perfectly and they pawed at each other like animals after three plus months of not touching.

Before he knew it, he had her by the hand and led her through the house and out to his truck.

"We're back together now, you hear me?" He said as he kissed her outside, "I don't give a fuck if we've been drinking tonight, we are back together."

"Loud and clear," She said, kissing him back.

Merle came to the door and stood next to Tara and Maggie as they watched them leaving, "Good job girls."

"Thanks for getting him here," Tara said sipping her beer.

"Wasn't easy, he gave me some shit about wanting to be alone on his birthday…"

"We did good," Maggie replied.

"Were you with anyone else?"

"Daryl?, No, what kind of thing is that...did you?"

"I couldn't, you're the only one I want." He pulled her close to him, "For the rest of my life, you and me."

She grinned, "You and me, come hell or high water, you promise."

"I promise,"
