Jacktheampirehun:

"I love your work so much! Can't wait to see if Daryl and Evelyn fall in love and maybe have a baby. There should be more description about the character's clothes"

angelheartsbuffy:

"I really love your fanfic! Think it would be better if you introduced a love triangle...maybe with Rick, Glenn or Negan? That would really make the plot thicker if more than one guy fancied her :)

Can't wait to read what you write next! Also no cliffhangers like the real walking dead lol! Maybe you could re write that scene where Evelyn saves everybody :)"

First of all wow! Thank you so much for the reviews! It made my day! I love hearing back from you guys because now I know what I could change and how I can get better! I'm taking all of your suggestions you've given and I'll look into it and see what I can do! Thanks for your kindness and support, it means soooooo much!

Daryl

We've been walking to school together for the past month and to be honest I liked it. I think the teacher is a little bit surprised, I've been missing school much less now.

"Hey Daryl." she said.

She was sitting on a log in the forest waiting on me to join her, she did this every morning. She was tying her dark brown hair into a braid that fell on her left shoulder. She wore some black cargo pants, a white t-shirt and a grey vest with some dirty old boots. Since we've been going out hunting after school, she started wearing those kind of clothes at school. I kind of missed the way she wore her dresses.

We started walking and for once in my life, it was too damn quiet. "Why aren't ya yapping like ya always do in the mornin?" I huffed, chewing my thumb.

"I'm lost in my thoughts, nervous. At lunch I'm going through an audition to see if I can make it into the music club at school." she said.

The music club was a group of people that would play during every school assembly and would do a show at the end of the year. The teachers loved them for their engagement around the school. The other students well, they didn't give a damn, I didn't give a damn. But I'm sure she'll get in, from what I've heard the group was horrible and they'd need all the help they could get.

The bell rang just as we were making our way inside the building. Everyone was walking around and going to their classrooms. I'll never get used to all the noise it makes. I was about to make my own way to my class when Evelyn stopped me.

"Hey Daryl wait on me!" she shouted and I followed her to her locker. Why do girls always do that? Can't they ever be alone?

She took out her books and slammed the locker door shut. By then, only a few students were still walking around in the hallways to try and waste as much time as they could.

Each morning when Evelyn and I go to our desks, everyone eyes us and starts whispering to each other with smiles. It makes me wonder what they would actually be talking about. And like always, the minute the teacher comes in, everyone shuts up.

For the first time in a long time, I'm eating lunch alone. Since Evelyn moved here, I didn't have to be the only one at the table. I wasn't used to it anymore. Because of the beautiful weather, I decided to sit outside at a picnic table. The sun was hot on my skin and I kept chewing on the nasty cafeteria steak they have given us. I suddenly heard footsteps coming closer and closer. I looked up to see a guy sitting down on the table and smirking at me along with his three best friends. I hated this guy.

"Hey! Where's that cute girlfriend of yours?" he said and all of his friends started laughing.

"Shut up she ain't my girlfriend." I mumbled.

"Well in that case, mind if I take her? She's got a fine ass damn if I could get a piece of that!" he said and bit his lip.

"Not with a name like Jasmin ya won't." I mumbled still chewing on my food. I held my fork with all the strength I had, my knuckles turning white. I wanted to punch him so bad.

His smile disappeared and got up to jump on me but his friends held him back just in time before he could make his first move. I smiled in victory. His friends were all trying to calm him down.

"Don't listen to him Jay, he's a piece of shit, that's all." They all whispered to him.

"Shut up Dixon!" A vein on his forehead was threatening to explode at any minute and his teeth were clenched.

"Ya don't need Evelyn with your three girlfriends kissing your ass all day." I got up smirked. I was having fun messing with this jerk. He deserves it.

He started shouting again and was about to come at me again but his friends were still holding him back. "Get off me you idiots!" He yelled at them and they all looked offended. He marched into the school with a frown on him face and all his minions ran after him. I picked up my food and threw it out in the trash and decided to go back home. I didn't want to stick around more than I had to.

Evelyn

I was sitting outside of the theatre room against a locker with my violin next to me. I started untying my braid and playing with my hair and closed my eyes. My hands were shaking and sweaty and my heart was racing. Every scenario possible was going through my mind: Me throwing up, forgetting how to play, messing up, fainting, dying right there in the middle of the stage... I was becoming insane. I started taking deep breaths and listened to the ticking of the clock in the hallway. I knew my turn was coming up.

The door opened and I heard my name. I opened my eyes, got on my feet and took my violin. When I got inside, the people stopped talking and stared at me. I didn't have the courage to look them in the eyes. I kept my head up and walked up to the stage where I opened up the case to reveal my beautiful violin. People started smiling when they realised what I was about to do.

"Good evening Mrs Jones, this is the music group and we will all be listening to you play. Good luck!" said the teacher sitting down in one of the seats. I wonder if he knew how stupid that was to remind me of all of the eyes that were on me waiting to mess up.

I brought my violin under my chin, took a deep breath, closed my eyes and let every thought fly away from my mind. Everything around me disappeared and all that was left was me and the music notes I was bringing to life.

I stopped playing and everything slowly came back. The room, the people, the lights, everything. I was standing there worried by the silence that was still filling the room. Slowly, smiles started creeping up to their faces and everyone starting clapping, giving me a standing ovation. All those smiles were contagious, and made me smile in return. I bowed and placed my violin back into its case. The teacher then came up to me and placed his hand on my back.

"Welcome to the club miss Jones! You'll make a great addition to the team!" everyone started cheering and I was so flattered by all of the attention I was having. I couldn't wait to tell him.

The bell soon rang and everyone ran to their locker and then to class like usual. I walked around looking for Daryl but in vain. I was starting to get a bit worried. I walked to my locker and put my violin at the bottom and grabbed my books.

"Hey Evelyn?"

I turned around a saw a guy with short brown hair and brown eyes looking at me with his hands in his jean pockets. I recognised him from my history class.

"Yeah?" I said shutting my locker behind me in shock.

"I'm the pianist in the music club, I uh, you were really good." he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh my gosh you were amazing!" said two other girls running to us.

"Thanks." I said with a smile.

"This is Siobhan, he's Matt and I'm Veronica, but you can call me Ronnie!"

They all talked with southern accents. Ronnie was a tall and beautiful brunette that wore a nice blue dress with cute boots and Siobhan was a small and fragile looking blonde that wore glasses and wore blue jeans and a simple white tee-shirt.

"My name as you can see is spelled S-I-O-B-H-A-N but is pronounced Sh-ah-vawn like you just heard. I just wanted to let ya know right off the bat because a lot of people get confused and all." said the blonde showing me her books where her name was written.

I nodded and smiled.

"Well we gotta go to our classes but why don't ya join us, we're going to go get some ice cream after school a couple of blocks from here." said Ronnie.

All I thought about was Daryl and our plans. He'd understand. There's even this bonfire at his house that Merle is doing with his friends and asked me to come to so I'd see him then.

"Sure!" I said with a smile. The girls all squealed and Matt smiled back.

"Okay! See y'all then!" said Siobhan grabbing Ronnie by the arm and dragging her to their class while me and Matt started walking to ours.

We were all sitting at the ice cream stand on a picnic table. It's been a while since I've talked to other girls. It was fun. We talked and laughed. The girls would tell me funny stories and I would listen. Matt was sitting next to me and grinned too.

"So I fell on my cat, yeah she died. I think it was God's way of telling me that I needed to lose weight." said Siobhan and we all laughed until we were our visions got blurred by tears.

"Honey, you are as slim as a toothpick don't you ever tell yourself that you're fat!" said Ronnie still laughing.

"I know, it was just a joke!" she answered.

By the time I got home, the sky was starting to darken. I run up the stairs and hear my mom shout: "Where do you think you're going?" she stood at the end of the staircase looking at me with both her hands on her hips.

"Out." I muttered walking to my room.

"Oh no you're not!" she added climbing upstairs.

"Why not?" I was furious. She's never here. Never talks to me, she's always busy doing something else and now she decides to tell me what to do?!

"I don't like the idea of you hanging around with that guy Evelyn. So you're not going anywhere tonight understand?" She said walking away.

Tears start rolling down my cheeks and I fall on my bed. I stare at the ceiling and get right back up. I change into some jeans, tie my long hair into a pony tail, slip on my boots, open the door and from the balcony I start climbing down one of the poles. One of my feet slips and I fall onto the ground and I wince in pain but I get up anyways and start walking towards Daryl's house.

I know I'm getting closer when I start hearing Merle laugh along with his friends. I emerge from the woods and look and see Daryl with a bottle of booze sitting on his lap. When Merle saw me you could see in his eyes that he was going to have even more fun.

"Hey brother! Look at that! She finally decides to show up!" he grinned at brought his bottle of booze in the air.

"Hey." I say a bit shy. His friends were all looking at me.

"Well come on now! Come join the party!" Said Merle handing me a bottle as well. I nicely take it but decide to just hold onto it.

I sit down next to Daryl who took another swig of alcohol and stared at the fire. With the sun completely down the air started to get cold. I rub my arms, acknowledging the fact that I had forgotten to take a jacket before leaving the house. My eyes then fell back on Daryl.

"Sorry I wasn't there after school to go hunting. I nailed my audition, I looked for you but I couldn't find you. I made some friends and they invited me to go get some ice cream so-"

"So ya went. Ya don't have to tell me, I don't care bout what the hell you're up to." He replied and took another sip.

My eyes grew big. How can he not care? I worried about him all afternoon today and he tells me he doesn't care? I changed my mind.

"Hey you! Do ya have a sweater I could borrow?" I asked Merle and his grin grew even wider.

"Baby brother has plenty. Imma go get you his favorite!" He walked to the house tripping on his own feet and came back with a black hoodie that had a motorcycle on it. I thanked him and slipped it on. Daryl still had no reaction.

That's when I decided to open up the bottle that was in my hands and brought it to my lips.
