Hello guys,

glad to see you liked this kinda weird idea of mine.

I continued now and I am sorry if the updates don't come too often but I am working on different shifts and have a big family. From August on I even have two jobs and I also write in German on another archive.

Anyway, I will always try to update asap.

Again I am sorry if there are grammar mistakes or stuff that could be better expressed. English is not my native language but I am trying my very best!

Beth was sitting in front of the laptop.

She opened the skype she didn't use for ages. Daryl was in there as a contact since some years ago they had a study group formed on the platform.

As she had expected Daryl was online. Beth pondered long about what to write him. She needed his attention, she needed to go out with him and in the end she needed him to want to sleep with her. The bet didn't say she actually had to sleep with Daryl Greene.

Beth sighed and typed a simple hi before she sent it to him.

Me: Hi.

Daryl: What do you want? I bring money tomorrow, don't worry.

Me: I ain't want ya money. I wanna go out with ya.

Daryl: Are you sure you are Beth Dixon?

Me: Accept the call.

Beth set up a video chat. He obviously didn't quite believe her what she could just understand.

The window popped up and she could see an empty room while she herself sat right in front of the camera.

'Get ya ass over here, Greene!' she said and rolled her eyes.

'What do you want from me?' Beth heard his voice but she couldn't say where he was hiding.

'Told ya I wanna go out.'

'You know you took my money from me a couple of weeks ago and nearly wrecked my shoulder in the cinema? And now you want to go out?'

Beth was annoyed that he still did not move in front of the web cam.

'I have ta take yer money or Jack will kick me out of the group. They are my friends. I ain't have any other. Ya will nicely leave yer money at us but go out with me, though, alright?'

'Er, not really. So you want me to go out with you to pretend in front of your friends that we did not go out and that you hate me still? I also wonder what friends that are.'

'That ain't yer fuckin' business.' Beth snapped and was just about to close the chat when Daryl moved in front of the camera.

'We have been friends once, Beth.' he said.

'Nah, we haven't been. Hell, get that glasses off, ya look ridiculous.'

'I need to wear them when I am on the computer.' he sighed.

'No, ya don't have ta. Where do ya wanna meet?'

Daryl nervously started looking around the room like he was searching for an excuse. Then he stopped and looked at his screen again. 'Beth, I can't meet you.'

'Oh why? Do ya think you're somethin' better 'cause ya live on a farm? Get ya shit together, Greene.' Beth gave him a glare before she was ripped out of the talk by something hitting her window. She got up and looked out. It was Merle.

'Sunday, 3 pm at Stacy's. I gotta go. Bye.' Without awaiting an answer Beth closed the laptop and went back to open the window.

'What do ya want, Merle?'

'Getcha ass down here!' her older brother yelled.

'I'll see what I can do!' she shouted back and went down the stairs, taking care not to run into her parents. In the living-room she was stopped by her father, though.

'Where're ya goin'?' he asked.

'Seein' Merle or am I forbidden ta talk ta ma bro now as well?'

'Watch ya words an' tell ya lazy ass brotha ta brin' a couple o' beer.'

'Yeah.' Quickly Beth snuck past her father not to get in any trouble. He wasn't completely drunk yet.

Daryl was confused. He sat in his room in front of the laptop and didn't understand the world anymore.

Beth Dixon asked him to go out with her. After she took his money from him, after she pushed him and embarrassed him in front of her group. Was that a simple meeting now or even a date? Daryl was too irritated to think, he was still too surprised about Beth talking to him all of a sudden again.

Maggie knocked the door and walked in then. She noticed the expression on his face and raised an eyebrow. 'What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost.'

'Beth Dixon asked me to meet her on Sunday at Taco Bell. I don't even know why.'

'Seems she's not all bad, huh? Will you go?'

'I might.' he muttered.

'Aw, my baby brother is having a date!' Maggie poked her brother in the side and grinned.

'I doubt it's a date. I am sure there is Jack behind that.'

'Why would he be?'

'Maggie, they bullied me, they took my money, they called me names and all of a sudden Beth wants to meet up?'

'Let's make a deal so. I wanted to go out with my friends anyway on Sunday. We will go and sit at Taco Bell so I can have an eye on you. If it turns out to be a date send me a text and we disappear at once! How about that?'

Daryl really wondered how his sister made up plans so quickly. He agreed, though.

It was Sunday about noon when Beth received a call from Jack, from the noise in the background he was with his slut again.

'Beth, how's Greene doing?' he asked.

'Seriously, Jack. We meet today. Ya didn't give me a time limit so shut up.' she snapped.

'Fine, fine. I still am sure you will have no chance to win.'

'We'll see that early enough.' Beth growled and ended the call.

Pretty pissed off she began to look through her closet. She decided to keep her style. Meeting with Daryl was nothing she would change her style of dressing for.

Her hair left messy and her make-up done she turned to leave but as usual she was stopped by her father.

'Where're ya goin'?' he asked. Beth smelled the alcohol in his breath already and she just wanted to go but she knew she had to answer or she would just make things worse.

'I'm meetin' someone from school.'

'Dawson 'gain? Didn' I tell ya not ta play whore 'gain?'

'If ya really wanna know, I am meetin' Daryl Greene. Do ya have anythin' against him as well?'

'Tha farm boy? Hell, Beth, ya better ain't get in touch with 'em. Ya stay here an' help ya mother!'

'I ain't doin' shit.' Beth snapped and immediately regretted it when the hand of her father hit her hard in the face. She tried to keep the tears in her eyes but she had no chance. 'Fuck ya, I hate ya!' she yelled and ran past the man.

Beth didn't stop running until she reached the bus stop. She wiped her tears away not caring how her makeup would look. She couldn't wait to leave that house forever like Merle did. She hated her parents, her father for being the alcoholic asshole and her mother for doing nothing. After Merle left six years ago Beth was the one to feel her father's moods and aggressions. Of course she had felt them before already but since Merle was gone she got all of it and not just that little part.

Her brother had promised her to take her away from their parents, he never did. He was rather busy with drugs and prostitutes. But after all he still kept visiting Beth every now and then when he wasn't in prison.

It was 3 in the afternoon and Daryl was nervously waiting in front of Taco Bell. Maggie was already inside the restaurant with her friend to have a look at her little brother.

Beth arrived and looked at Daryl. He really didn't had to wonder that people kept bullying him the way he dressed. In fact it wasn't too bad. He wore normal jeans but instead of shirts with sleeveless sweaters over it he could start wearing normal shirts.

He noticed Beth's look at his clothes but he didn't say something. He just didn't know what to say.

'Let's go inside, I am damn hungry.' she said then and just went inside the restaurant and sat down at a table in a corner.

Daryl followed her and while Beth had a look at the menu he was thinking about what to talk about. He and Beth had practically nothing in common. They used to hang out a few years ago but even that never alone.

Daryl looked around and saw Maggie. She and her friend had swapped places so she could watch him better.

After they got their food Daryl took a look at Beth. He saw the girl she once was and not the girl she pretended to be these days. Daryl had liked her but he had been sure she never would like him.

'What did you do with your face?' he asked noticing her cheek to be blushed red and a little swollen even.

'Not yer business.' Beth snapped and continued to eat.

'Alright. So why did you want to meet?'

'I ain't got an idea. Why didn't ya say no?'

'You didn't leave me a chance to say no. Why did you want to meet if you actually don't want to?' Daryl asked again.

'I am just tryin' ta convince ma pa I don't hang with Jack anymore.' Beth lied. She couldn't tell him about that bet.

'He rather has you hanging out with me?'

'Nah. He'd like me ta stick 'round home and get him beer.'

'Doesn't sound like a good place to be.'

'Guess why I'm here so.' Beth muttered her mouth stuffed with taco.

'Could you keep your mouth shut if it's full, please? That's really gross.'

'Hell, yer such a baby.' Beth rolled her eyes annoyed.

Some moments of silent eating passed until Beth noticed someone constantly staring at them. She turned and looked straight in Maggie Greene's face.

'Seriously, ya brought yer sister ta take care of ya? What did ya think I wanted?'

'I-I-I just wasn't sure you would really come alone. Listen, since you joined Dawson's group, you really scare me. I know who you were once but you changed so much.' Daryl explained.

'I was a nobody. Now I have people 'round me at least. They respect me.'

'As long as you do what they want.'

'All is better than endin' up like ya. The ass crawlin' nerd!' Beth jumped up and without saying another word she left.

Totally confused Daryl walked over to Maggie. 'She saw you and left. I didn't even get the point of this meeting.'

Beth arrived at home and she knew she would go to hell after just leaving in the afternoon but she didn't care.

If Daryl would go on talking about the past she would never be able to win the bet. The past was over, she was a new person, she was strong and nothing could bring her down. Especially not Daryl Greene with his poor tries of bringing back old times.

Beth didn't bother to be silent and to try to get past her drunk father, she just walked in the living-room and faced her father directly.

Daryl headed home with Maggie and Gina, the friend who joined her at Taco Bell.

Maggie and her were discussing what Beth could have wanted from Daryl but they didn't come to any conclusion that would make any sense.

As Daryl's parents weren't in town for at least a week he was practically alone since Maggie decided to stay at Gina's. They said goodbye and he watched Maggie drive off.

Daryl went outside to have a last look at the horses shortly after the clock showed midnight. When he wanted to return into the house he saw someone sitting on the porch.. Getting closer he noticed the messy light blonde hair.

'Beth? What are you doing here at this time?' he asked and went closer but what he saw then made him gasp in shock.

Did Beth change her mind or what is going on here? I have so many ideas still.

Please leave me a review if you liked my story so far :)
