"i like the building of characters. you could really see why Daryl likes her so much. :)"

Squishy97:

"Evelyn even though she doesn't have her complete memory is still strong. Daryl isn't too in love but he is worried about her. Which is good a thing since he's known for a while. Can't wait for an update!"

"this is probably the cutest chapter so far"

First of all, I love you guys. You are all so nice! Thank you so much for your reviews, I appreciate it soooo much!

Daryl

I walk in the house and see Merle asleep on the couch. Trying not to wake him up, I quietly walk in the kitchen, open the fridge and grab a soda can before climbing upstairs to my room. I gently place my crossbow near the door and jump on my bed, I was so tired. I open up my and start gulping down the bubbly liquid and started thinking about my day.

Meeting Ev's mother was really weird and awkward but other than that I had a great time to be honest. I had pulled up into a dirt road where I parked the truck and from there started walking. I had brought my new crossbow and she took her bow. We didn't talk a lot. Sometimes I would wonder if she was still following me. So I would look behind and see her looking around her with a bright smile on her face.

"Why you smiling?" I asked.

She stopped walking and looked me into the eyes. "Well don't you see how beautiful and calm it is here? I'm not used to it. Grew up in a city, remember? It was always loud out there." she answered.

I nodded and continued walking.

We would sometimes stop to look around for something to shoot at. I looked up at her and saw her arms full of tiny scratches. Good thing I had told her to go change.

One time we heard squirrel climb up a tree near us. I pointed at it to show her where it was.

"Here's your chance, don't make any sound." I whispered to her and she nodded.

She took a shot but missed. I would've been surprised if she had gotten it. Hunting was pretty tough. She huffed in frustration and frowned for the first time since we had gotten there.

"It gets easier with time." I nudged her and she nudged me back and smiled. I couldn't help but smile back at her.

Having her around got me thinking how nice it was to have somebody to talk to. At first it was annoying but now I actually liked it. Growing up, my only friend was Merle. He used to push me around and think it was funny. He'd invite his friends to laugh at me too. He's also the one that introduced me to my first cigarette at the age of ten. Let's be honest, he was an ass.

We continued walking. "Hey Daryl? Can I try your crossbow?" I laughed and was about to hand it over but once she was about to take it, it feel out of her hands and fell to the ground with a thud. He eyes widened.

"Holy moly that's so heavy! How the hell can you carry that?" I smirked at her.

"That cause I'm mighty strong." she huffed.

I continued walking ahead until she jumped on my back without a warning. "What the hell?" I shouted.

"Think you're so strong Dixon? Try carrying me too." she said. I could hear that smile in her voice.

"Get down a minute you're hurting my back." and with that said she got back on her feet. She walked around to face me and smirked with both her hands crossed on her chest.

"You see? You're-" I slung my crossbow on my back and swiftly picked her up in my arms and started running. She shouldn't have challenged me.

She started giggling and yelling. "Daryl?! What are you doing?!" Her eyes widened when we started getting closer and closer to a lake.

"No no no, don't you dare! Don't you dare!" she started yelling at me again.

Next thing I know, I was throwing her into the ice cold water. She screamed. I was laughing so hard, my abdomen ached. She ran out of there as fast as she could and started shivering. Her hair was sticking to her face and her clothing clung to her body, showing off her slight curves.

"Hey Daryl?" she asked through clenched teeth. I turned around to see her slightly smile.

"Whatchu want?" I said still laughing a bit.

"You were right. You are mighty strong. I should've never doubted your skills. Come here so I can apologize by giving you a hug." And with that said she started running to me.

I was laughing so hard that it took me awhile before realising what she was doing. I started running towards where we had came from with her following close by. After running for awhile, I stopped and turned around to see that she wasn't there. I frowned and started going back, worried she might have tripped or something. Suddenly she came out from behind a tree and gave me a big hug.

I didn't know what was more uncomfortable, her soaked clothing of the fact that this was an act of affection. I froze. She laughed, all cuddled up to my chest. It was an odd feeling.

"Payback's a bitch Dixon." and with that she backed away and started skipping away.

I watched her in shock. It took me a few seconds before getting myself back to reality and started walking again.

It was starting to get darker and I could still see her shivering in her wet clothing. I kind of felt bad. She didn't complain one bit though, but I knew she was done for the day. So we headed back to the blue truck, hoped in and I turned up the heat.

"How old are you?" She asked while I was driving.

"Fifteen why?" I shrugged.

"How can you be allowed to drive right now Daryl?" she yelled at me.

"Well who says I was given permission?" I looked at her and chuckled at her reaction.

Her eyes widened in horror. With that I had an idea. I slowed down the truck and took my hands off the wheel and put them back behind my head and fake yawned. She looked at me and really started to panic.

"Dar-, Daryl? What the hell are you doing? Put your hands back on the wheel!" she shouted. I didn't listen.

"Nope." I smirked.

From the passenger seat she was steering the wheel and you could see she didn't like it at all, which made me laugh even more. "See? Now you're driving too." I commented and she gave me a look that would make a five year old cry. But it just made me smile.

Of course I wasn't going fast and I was always ready to take the wheel if ever I had to but it was just fun to put her under pressure like this.

We finally got to her house and before stepping out she slapped my shoulder hard.

Suddenly, coming back to reality, I heard footsteps climbing up the stairs. Merle suddenly appeared at my door. "How was your date brother? Did ya..." he then starts making inappropriate movements that involves jerking his hips. I take my pillow and throw it in his face.

"Shut up Merle!" I yelled to him.

He chuckled with his raspy voice and walked away. With that, I suddenly started thinking about the way her clothing had stuck to her body when I had thrown her into the water, but shook the thoughts away immediately. He did that on purpose, damn Merle.

I put the empty soda can on my night stand, got up, changed and closed the lights and then went to bed.

I get up and look at the time. It was eight o'clock. I was contemplating if I should go to school or not but then decided to get up and get going. If I hurried enough, I could even walk to school with Evelyn.

So here you go! Hope you enjoyed it! So give me your thoughts, comment, reviews, anything is good! Also, tell me your thoughts about the epic season finale of season 6 that came out yesterday! I thought it was hard to be in their shoes, now holy moly they are in shit up to their necks! I hate Negan so much but at the same time, I don't know, you know how sometimes you love to hate characters? I don't know I'm not sure yet. I know the actor from Supernatural (Yes I watch that too hihi) so I don't think he'll disappoint in terms f acting. But as the character, I don't know, I haven't read the comics yet. Who do you think got killed? Let me know! (:
