It's a short one but I had to deal with their feelings about the argument but the next one is the beginning of the end of the argument, I would like to take the opportunity to thank two people for their reviews because I can't answer them treehugger05 and tania ibarbia. I thank you all for the follows, reviews and favourites xxx

Carol came into the house with Beth watching her collect her personal items, as she threw her clothes into a bag regretting the fact that she had moved out of the dorm altogether, she looked up as she saw Carol filling another bag "Not those" she almost shouted as Carol picked up the hand carved animals Daryl had given her "Might as well leave them here, I mean they are his anyway" she went back to her swift packing.

"That everything?" Carol asked her after a while.

"Yes thank you" Carol took the bag that Beth was holding in her hand, turning towards the bedroom door.

"I will wait for you in the car" she smiled touching Beth's hand with her fingers lightly, Beth nodded at her with thanks, she turned back to the room, she really had been happy here with the boys, but it was over now, Daryl had managed to show his true colours to her, she pulled her purse open taking out her wallet she opened it and pushed the picture of her and Daryl under one of the animals, she turned from the room and left, she placed her key on the coffee table and walked out of the front door closing it lightly behind her, then got into Carol's car.

"All ready?" Carol asked her, Beth nodded without a word and settled back in her seat waiting for the drive to college to finish, she was silent the whole way almost catatonic lost in her own thoughts.

The car pulled up outside of the dorm and Carol got out retrieving Beth's bags from the boot, they headed inside together, Carol took her to one of the empty dorm rooms, giving her the silence and solidarity she needed at this time, placing Beth's things on the second bed she turned to look at Beth. Beth met her eyes with her own "Are you going to be ok?" she asked her.

"Yes thank you for everything Carol, please when you speak to Merle tell him...tell him it will all work out for the best I am sure, tell him to be ok for me?" she asked her.

"Of course I will and Daryl?" Beth felt her heart crush in her chest at his name.

"I have nothing to say at the moment" she shrugged. Carol left the room and Beth stood slowly thinking of unpacking but she really couldn't be bothered so she changed into some running gear, pulled on her Ipod and took off running, she ran until her mind went blank, the only thing occupying her thoughts was the constant pounding of her feet and the sounds in her ears.

An hour later Beth was stood under a piping hot shower, the water scorching her skin as it bounced against her, she lent against the wall and she cried, she mourned for what she had now lost, she mourned for the love she felt she had been ripped away by his drunken stupidity, she collapsed down into the bath wrapping her arms tightly around her knees, letting the tears roll down her face. Eventually the water went cold and Beth pulled herself to her feet, pushing herself out of the bath she wrapped a fluffy white towel around her body and walked back to her bed, she changed into her night clothes and crawled into her bed pulling her duvet up to her chin, she clicked the light off hoping that sleep would take her, when her phone bleeped beside her she pulled it off the table and flipped it open.

I am sorry we need to talk, we need to sort this out, I am an idiot, please Beth speak to me.

Beth shook her head at the phone.

Leave me alone Daryl.

Beth please, Beth I want to be everything you want me to be.

I said please leave me alone for the rest of the day, tomorrow Daryl tomorrow we can meet and talk.

She replaced her phone on the bedside table and turned her light back on, she pulled a book from next to the lamp and thumbed the pages until she found the one she was looking for, then she began to read, finding reassurance in the words she had read so many times, there was nothing like reading Elizabeth Bennett's point of view on the world, she lost herself in the pages of the book for the rest of the day.

Her going off woke her up on Sunday morning, she picked it up sleepily opening it.

Pick you up in half an hour so we can talk? Daryl x

No meet me at the diner in town in an hour I don't want to be with you on my own quite yet.

Ok xx

She closed the phone and got out of bed, throwing on her running gear from the night before, after all she had no one to impress, she knew this had to happen she had to meet Daryl and close this chapter of her life but it was hard, she made her way to the front door of the dorm, then she started to run, she ran all the way to the diner pulling her ear buds from her ears she opened the door and walked in taking her place opposite Daryl, he looked up at her sheepishly.

"Would you like a drink?" he asked her taking in her appearance.

"Please" she answered and watched as he beckoned over the waitress so she could order he raised an eyebrow at her not ordering food but she wasn't hungry, when the waitress brought her coke over to her Beth took a big gulp then looked up at him.

"Beth I can't tell you how sorry I am, but she came on to me" he said to her.

"And so you thought what, I am pissed I will just fuck her because Beth won't give it up?" Beth snapped at him.

"No, you know that isn't what this is about to me" he appealed.

"Do I?" he nodded trying to reach for her hand but she pulled it away.

"Beth I..." he shook his head "There is no one else for me, no one at all" he exclaimed.

"Daryl it's over" she whispered.

"No don't say that, I know it's not, we can repair this, I can repair this" he almost begged.

"Good bye Daryl" she stood up from the table and kissed him lightly on the cheek "I will always love you" she walked out of the diner and placing her ear buds back in her ears she started to run again, tears running down her face that she didn't even notice.

"You let her walk away?" Merle took a swig of his beer "What the fuck goes on in that tiny little brain of yours lil brother?" Daryl sat on the couch staring at his older brother.

"This shit ain't easy for me" he said.

"Ain't easy for no one kid, but hell you moved to another state to be with her and now your sat on the couch and she's what crying to herself in her new dorm room, fuck I didn't come here to be your fucking social worker, get your shit together dick head" he turned to the fridge and pulled the door open dragging out left overs from the night before and plating them up, he slammed the microwave shut and set the timer "Anyway neither of us can cook like her, so either you get her back or its take out for us for the foreseeable future." he lent against the work surface folding his arms across his chest waiting for a response.

"I don't know what to say to her to make it better" Daryl could feel anger coming to the surface but after the beating Merle gave him on the Friday night he was still bruised and didn't fancy any more so he swallowed it.

"I ain't an expert kid, but you know her better than anyone, if you want to repair it, you want to make it better your probably going to have to make yourself look like a cock to do, flowers, chocolates and embarrassing times ahead for you." the microwave pinged and he pulled out his dinner picking a fork up and walking away to his room.

"Your really fucking helpful ain't ya?" Daryl shouted after him.

"Your hole, you dug it, you climb out pussy pants" his brother shouted as he kicked his bedroom door shut.

"Fuck you" Daryl said quietly, then lent back on the couch closing his eyes he needed a plan, he needed to show her what she meant to him, but he also needed to show that fucking bitch Michonne not to fuck with him again.

"But how?" he stood up clicking off the kitchen light as he went past, he went towards his bedroom then at the last minute he changed direction and made for Beth's room, he swung the door open her scent hitting him immediately nearly knocking him to his knees, he entered and closed the door behind him curling up on her bed Daryl pulled her pillow to his chest, inhaling her, he had to have her back she had to be his again and this time he wouldn't let her go.
