Thank you to everyone who is reviewing and following this story. I means so much that people are enjoying this. I love hearing what you think and I love to read theories. Soon I will be cross posting this onto tumblr as well, my tumblr name is the same as here.

DPOV

"Shawn?" The name left her lips like a curse. She stood up, the heat between us gone in an instant. Her lips were turned into a frown as realization hit me.

"You're Beth Greene?" She whirled around nearly hitting me in the face with the long blond locks.

"Yes. Well not anymore, I changed it. I never lied." She said her voice higher than I have ever heard it before.

"You just up and vanished Beth, you never told anyone where you were going. Mom and dad have been going insane looking for you. Thinking you were dead." Shawn practically yelled. She got closer to him, almost threatening.

"You will not breath a word of this to anyone, there is a reason I haven't said anything." She grabbed her bag from beside the front door before turning around to face me. "I'm sorry Daryl." And with that she was gone.

"BETH... BETH..." Shawn called down the hallway. With no success he came back in and stared around. "What the hell just happened?" I didn't say anything, unsure of what he really wanted to hear. "My baby sister is here in Atlanta, making out with you."

"Shawn."

"I know you didn't know who she was, you never met my sisters and you never saw any photos. I should have known to look harder."

"How so?"

"I'm sure she is using an alias that I could have figured out, I could have gone through a list of last names she might have used."

"Okay well what ones were you thinking, maybe if you are close...?"

"Reynolds, Parker, Espinosa." He said listing off names faster than anything.

"Where are you getting these names?" I questioned trying not to laugh. The look on his face stayed dark and sad.

"Well Reynolds is her boyfriends last name and the others are her friends." He said like it was simple. I stared at him with my best 'are you an idiot' look.

"To avoid being found she would have to use something she could remember but not something everyone else would guess. Also Espinosa, you really think she looks Hispanic?"

"Is she at least using her real first name?" He said ignoring my question.

"She goes by Beth." I said, thinking about it I should have known that her story was matching up with the one Shawn mentioned his first morning here.

"At least she didn't change that." I sat down on the sofa and grabbed my beer, taking a long drink. "So you and my sister?"

"I didn't know she was your sister man." I said hoping he would drop it. Which of course he didn't.

"You gonna see her again?"

"Don' know, 'pends if she is still in town after tonight." The look that crossed his face was priceless like he hadn't thought she would leave now. He started pacing the apartment his hands rubbing his head.

"Can you go over to her place and stop her from leaving?"

"Shawn what are ya gonna do?" I asked him standing up and heading to the door.

"Call my..."

"Right do you want your sister back or do you want her to pack up the life she built here and run? You call them and she is gone."

"Why?"

"How the hell should I know?"

"You're the one who was shoving your tongue down her throat." He hollered. My anger began to bubble up.

"You aint gotta clue what your talkin' about. I'm goin' to find her, be gone when I get back." I slammed the door shut and made a beeline for my bike. Driving as fast as I could to her apartment.

I ran up two steps at a time to get to her apartment, my breath was ragged by the time I reached it. The door was slightly open and I could hear crying coming from the living room area. "Beth?" I pushed the door open, she was sitting cross legged on the floor surrounded by clothes and a suitcase.

"You don't have to do this Beth." Aaron said sitting on the coffee table in front of her.

"Ya B come on, there has to be some way." Tara then said. Beth looked up at me her long lashes wet with tears. I stepped further into the apartment.

"I didn't know you were that Beth."

"Would it have made a difference?" She asked as her friends made a beeline for their rooms.

"What?"

"If you knew that I was Shawn's missing little sister would you have still treated me the same?" I sat down on the floor next to her and took her hands, the confidence in me was terrifying but I couldn't stop what came out of my mouth next.

"Yeah. I don't give a shit that Shawn is your brother, I aint never done things to make other people comfortable or happy unless it was the girl I am seeing. I kicked him outta the apartment." Her blue eyes went big and round. "He was gonna call yer parents." Her eyes clouded over with tears again as she looked down to our still joined hands.

"I have to get out of the city. They can't find me."

"Why?"

"My sister looks at me like a murderer. My parents they weren't even talking to me when I left." The other soon came back out and sat around us. She sighed before looking at everyone. "It's my fault he's dead." The room stayed quiet as she explained everything. "His name was Jeremy Rains, he was my ex boyfriend Jimmy's cousin and he had come to town for the summer. He wasn't a very strong swimmer but he followed in after me. He had been teasing Jimmy relentlessly about how he didn't understand how Jimmy could have such a pretty girlfriend and that he was going to see how strong my loyalty was. So he swam into the deepest part of the swimming after me during a party. Jimmy was screaming from the shore so I turned around and saw him struggling, he was way bigger than me maybe your size Daryl. I didn't do anything to help him get back to shore, I just stared at him as he struggled. He died that day, drowned."

"Oh my god Beth." Amy said flinging her arms around Beth who resumed crying.

"It aint yer fault he died." I told her. She looked up at me again as her friend released her. "If youda tried to save him you both woulda drowned."

"Blue eyes is right Beth, he would have dragged you under with him." Eric said from the other side of Beth. I looked at him quizzically, I shook my head before looking back at her.

"You don't think I am a murderer?"

"No." We all said at the same time. The fact that I am sitting on the living room floor with a bunch of twenty something's trying to comfort a woman is astounding to me, but I can't seem to leave. The draw that Beth has on me is holding me tighter than anything before.

"Eric you are supposed to use his real name when he is around." She said shyly, her tears faded.

"Right sorry."

"You call me blue eyes when I'm not around?" I asked unable to hide my curiosity anymore. She gave me a sheepish look before she replied.

"When I first saw you at the club I didn't know your name, and it didn't seem right to call you Dixon so I called you blue eyes." I smiled an actual smile at her.

"It's better than what Merle calls me." I answered. She laughed, the musical laugh I remember from before. "You aint gotta leave town, I'll talk him outta telling your folks where you are."

"Okay." She said, her eyes looked like she wanted to say more and finally she spoke again. "I need you to keep him as far away from Crimson as possible. He can't ever know..."

"Deal." I pulled her to her feet as her friends started piling her stuff back into her room. "Don't run." Her smile filled her face as I spoke.

"I won't run away." Her smile turned mischievous. "So are we gonna continue what we were doing before we were interrupted?" I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face. I shrugged my shoulders. "Oh no do not shrug it off." I said pulling his arm and leading him to my bedroom. Within minutes the apartment was empty save for us, as my roommates left for a few hours to give us some time. "Sorry my room is a mess."

"You were trying to leave I get it."

"I'm not going anywhere now." She stood up on her tip toes and placed her soft plump lips on mine. I could taste the strawberry chap stick she wore. I nipped at her bottom lip begging for entrance into her mouth, she parted her lips quickly and soon we were fighting for dominance. Her hands tugged at my hair, pulling my face impossibly closer to hers. I snaked my arms around her, hoisting her up, her legs wrapped around my waist.

Her hands moved from my hair to my chest as she began unbuttoning my shirt. I reached forward with one hand to stop her. "What are ya doin'" I said breathless.

"Taking what I want." She whispered against my neck. I nodded my head slightly, placing my lips under her ear as she moaned low. Her hands went back to work on my shirt as I pulled her up over her head. She wasn't wearing a bra, making her small perky breast bounce slightly as her shirt landed on the floor. I leaned my head down to suck on one of her already hard nipples. She moaned in pleasure as I did the same to the other nipple. My shirt fell to the floor and her hands were around my shoulder, gripping my back. Her fingers ran over the raised skin there but she didn't stop, I tensed slightly afraid of what she would say. She seemed to take notice of my change in demeanor as she spoke lowly again repeating words I spoke to her that first night we spent together. "We all got scars Daryl." I smiled into her neck as I continued my assault of kisses.

Moving over to the bed I hovered over her as her bright blond hair splayed over the comforter, her big blue eyes were locked on mine as her hands moved to my belt buckle. "You sure?"

"Never been more sure." She answered. My own hands found the button on her jeans and popped it open. Within seconds all clothes lay forgot on the floor in a heap. I kissed down her neck, sucking at her collarbone before moving farther south, she wiggled underneath me as my stubble tickled the flat planes of her stomach. She grabbed my head in her hands and pulled me up so our mouths could connect once again. "I want to feel you inside of me." She spoke so lowly I thought I miss heard her until she reached over to her bedside table and pulled out a small foil package. She tore it open quickly and slid it onto my hard member, her hand stayed on my length as she gazed down at me. "I like what I see." She whispered. I moaned leaning into her to capture her in a kiss as she centered me at her entrance. In one swift movement I was inside her, the tight walls held me in place, her wet heat enticing. She clutched onto my shoulders pulling me deeper within her. I slowly slid out before thrusting back in, our bodies picked up a perfect rhythm as our moans filled the air around us. Her loud cries told me she was close and truth be told so was I. Three more thrusts and she tilted her head back as her walls constricted around my hard length. Soon I released my own pleasure, our hearts beat wildly as our breathing evened out. I pulled out of her and lay beside her, pulling her closer into my side. "Mmm." She hummed.

"Wow."

"Wow is right." I laughed a little with her as we both came down from the high's we were feeling.

"Well we defiantly have to do that again." She said looking up at me, her blue eyes bright and shiny.

"Ya." I replied leaning down to kiss her again. A loud knock on the door pulled us from our bliss.

Well I hope you liked that. Please let me know what you think. I have never written smut before so it was totally out of the norm for me. I also don't have too much experience in that department so what I am going off of is what I have read before and what I have experienced. I hope I did okay with it.

There will be more drama next chapter and things get heated with Martinez soon.
