Daryl

Merle laughed when he saw me get in the blue pickup. He knew where I was going.

Evelyn had asked me to pick her up at her house to take her hunting. She was tired of shooting trees. She didn't live that far. I drove into her driveway and got out of the truck and heard a melody coming from behind the house.

I got curious so I followed the sound until I spotted her sitting legs crossed on the balcony with a violin in her hands. I didn't know she played the violin. She wore a nice purple dress with socks that ended right above the knees and wore a little ribbon in her hair. Her eyes were closed while drawing the bow swiftly across the strings creating a nice melody. She looked pretty concentrated, she looked peaceful.

I hesitated but decided to catch her attention. "Hey Evelyn!" I yelled making her jump. She looked around in confusion and smiled when her eyes landed on me. I tried to seem impatient, not wanting her to see what I'm truly thinking.

"Hi! I'll be right down!" she yelled back, placing her instrument into a blue case and walking inside the house. After five minutes of waiting after her, she finally got outside.

"Are ya really going to wear that?" I said looking at her dress. She seemed offended.

"Why is there a problem?" She huffed and placed her hands on her hips. Drama Queen.

"I'm just sayin, we're going hunting deep in the woods. You should maybe wear some pants or somethin." I was blushing.

She took a moment and finally nodded. "Well come on in." She waved me to come inside.

Her house was big but old fashioned, I liked it. Picture frames were hanging everywhere on the walls. I took a moment to look at them while she climbed up into her room to change.

Suddenly a woman walked in the room and looked confused when she saw me. I didn't know what to say.

"Um hi, I'm Tessa, Evelyn's mom!" She took a few steps and gave me her hand and I awkwardly shook it. I wasn't good with people.

"Daryl Dixon." I said with a nod.

We both stayed silent until Tessa started speaking again. "You go to Ev's school?"

"Yeah." I continued looking at the pictures on the walls. There were so many.

"That's nice, well I'm glad to see she's making friends." She added with a smile. This was very awkward.

Finally Evelyn came into the room. She wore old cargo pants, a white tank top and a light jacket with some black combat boots. She was tying up her hair. When she saw Tessa, she stopped in her tracks.

"Oh hi mom." she said. Obviously she didn't know her mother would've been home.

Tessa simply looked at her with an arched brow. "Where are you two heading?"

"In the woods taking a hike. Daryl knows this cool place that he wants to show me, just for fun." she lied.

Before Tessa could answer, Evelyn was dragging me towards the door.

"Bye mom! I'll be back soon!" She shouted before shutting the door behind her.

I looked at her in confusion. She sighed and made her way to the truck and hopped in the passenger seat. I climbed in myself and started driving.

Evelyn

I kept looking out the window out to the green fields. I was trying to figure out how my mother was there. I barely see her, she's always caught up in her work, we barely speak to each other anymore.

"So it's just you and your mom huh?" said Daryl keeping his eyes on the road.

"You can say that. My parents are divorced. Dad stayed in the city and I moved here with my mom. I barely see her." I said closing my eyes and sighing.

"You're still lucky to know she's still around. The only family I got now is Merle." he said in a huff.

"I have an older brother too, he left the house when I was eleven years old. He's about eight years older than me. Since then he called about twice I think." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

Luke kept fighting with Dad. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember doing my homework in my room and hearing my Dad yelling at him from downstairs. I would cover my ears to try and block it all out but it was no use.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Luke and his bestfriend became more then friends if you know what I mean. I think daddy just didn't know how to deal with the fact that his son was different ya know?"

There was a moment of silence.

"Where are your parents?" I asked.

"Well my Mama used to smoke in bed. The house caught on fire, brought her down with it too. I was just a kid back then. And my old man he was a drunk and abusive, died of alcohol poisoning two years ago. I don't miss him." his blue eyes stayed on the road.

I didn't know what to say. I can't imagine going through the death of my own parents. It must've been awful, no matter who they were to Daryl. They're blood.

"I'm so sorry, must be hard." I put a hand on his shoulder.

"Nah it's okay, it's better this way." she shrugged.

We stayed silent for the rest of the ride.
