"You know... that was really rude Dixon" She stood behind him, her arms crossed over her chest as she rested her weight on her left leg while staring at his back. He hadn't had heard her come up behind him, which irritated him even more than what he already was.

He turned to look at her and she glared at him as he took a step towards her while she stood her ground.

"It ain't none of your business lady" he said to her and she glared harder at him before repeating herself.

"That was really rude" slowly she shifted her weight to her other leg as she keep her eyes on him.

"You wanna start something Fey?" he yelled at her as he got closer to her face, staring at her with fierce eyes as she just tapped her left feet at the dirt under it.

"She's just worried about you. You didn't have to be a jackass you know" Alyson keep her voice tone neutral as her eyes shifted to Daryl's crossbow over his shoulder and back to his face. Alyson was a smart girl, she knew that what had happened to Sofia a few days ago had affected him, even when he didn't let it show. He had searched for her everyday. She knew how bad he wanted to find that little girl. She knew he had been worried about it since she first disappeared, but after all his efforts and his long hours of search, after hurting himself with his own weapon, getting almost eaten by walkers and getting almost shot, thanks to Andrea, Sofia appeared in Hershel's barn... as a walker.

She knew everyone was affected when they discovered that 'they' were looking for a ghost all this time, but Daryl had risked his life for this child, he had placed everything on the line for her and in the end, not only she was dead, she was part of the living dead, which made everything much more complicated, for everyone, but even more so for him, cause he had done the impossible to find someone who was long gone.

"Daryl... sh-she's right, you've earned your part in the group and what happened to Sofia is not your fault...All of us know you did everything you could for her" Her voice turned softer and so did her eyes, but before she knew it, he was pointing a finger to her.

"You people need to get off my damn back and mind your own goddamn business. None of you are my concern and either was Sofia, maybe If Carol had been more attentive, she wouldn't be dead" he yelled some more as he stood closer and Alyson was forced to take a step back as she tried to control herself, but was failing rather quickly.

"You need to get a damn grip on your fucking attitude Dixon. She's just grateful to you ok? That's why she's worried man!. Last time I fucking checked it was not wrong accepting a fucking bit of gratitude" she yelled back at him as she pointed on the direction Carol had gone earlier.

"Well I don't fucking need shit" Daryl told her as he turned his back, brushing Alyson off, making her anger sky rocket in a matter of seconds, before she grabbed his shoulder, stopping him and walking over to stand in front of him.

"Give me one reason as to why I should believe that" crossing her arms over her chest once more, Alyson stared into Daryl's eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Whatever lady" he moved his feet but Alyson was quicker and she placed a hand on his chest stopping him before he could go anywhere and turned her eyes back to his, still waiting for a reply.

"She ain't got no one and I ain't gonna be her bitch ok? She's scared cuz she ain't got anybody and I don't need 'nyone clinging onto me Fey" Daryl half whispered as he got closer to her as she raised an eye brow, looking at him slightly confused.

"Scared?" she asked him "You really think she's scared Daryl?" He nodded and smirked as he pointed at her yet again, while he glared at the girl.

"Just like you. The two of you are scared and think you can come hide behind me cuz you ain't got no one else. You specially! You're scared shitless Fey, cuz you ain't got a damn thing, cuz you are alone." Taken by surprised by his words, she slowly took off her hand from his chest as she looked down at the ground. Daryl quickly moved to continue his way away from her, satisfied that she wasn't bitching anymore, but quickly stopped as he heard her chuckle.

"What the hell's so funny Fey?" he asked and she turned slowly to face him.
"Let me tell you something Dixon... you're right.. I'm scared. I've been alone my whole goddamn life since I was fucking ten. I grew up on my own with no dad or mom. In a fucking system where I didn't last six months ok? It took the fucking apocalypse, it took the end of fucking humanity to find something worth fighting other than myself" Alyson tried to hold back the tears as her hands turned into fist, she was overwhelmed with emotion as she speaked. "I'm scared of losing what I've got now. I came into this group with nothing to care for. I didn't loose anyone, because the only person I've had my entire life has been me, but this group... they are what I have now... they are my family and I'm scared... scared of failing them, of losing them or hurting them Daryl." she keep talking as her tears rolled down her cheeks and dropped from her chin, falling into her shirt, soaking it. Slowly she wiped some of the tears from her face with the back of her hand and took a deep breath.

Daryl had made her explode. He had hurted her with his words. Did he really wanted to quit their friendship? Because from what he had told her, he really didn't seem to care and that confused her, it hurted her and it scared her... a lot.

"I don't know what your point is Daryl, but If you haven't looked around you, Carol and I aren't the only ones alone" It was time for payback. " You have no one either. It wasn't me freaking the fuck out at the quarry when my brother got left on a roof in Atlanta, or me tossing squirrels at a cop, cause I thought It would fix the matter. You think I'm alone? You're wrong. You're the one whose alone and it is YOU Daryl Dixon, who is scared shitless because of the responsability you have of this group." She smirked as she finished telling him. It was not fair and she wanted... she needed him to hurt as much as he had made her hurt with his words.

"Shut the fuck up Fey. You know nothin'. Stupid bitch!" Angry as she had made him, he yelled to her some more and she just stood there, unfaced by him, smirking.

"You're a jackass" she remarked and he glared at her as she gave him the finger and turned away, before telling him "Next time, you can kiss my ass Dixon" and with that she left him alone.
