The car ride had a bit on the awkward side for Maggie. The ride was quiet and the hole time her mind was on Daryl, something about him was really drawing her in. Maggie was the girl who would date the quarterback not some guy like Daryl Dixon but something about him just made her want to jump him right there. The only thing was Maggie knew Daryl would never want her they were ten years apart he would look at her as if she was a child.
Maggie was brought out of her thoughts as they had made it to the phamacy Glen had handed over the list to Maggie to find the things on it. Maggie eyes shot open when she read the list, she could not stand the idea of someone aborting there child in the past but now of days the idea didn't seem so bad. Don't get her wrong the way she was grown up she was taught sex before marrige, aborting a pregnancy and other things were wrong but a child in the world they live now was just a little unethical.
Maggie walked to the back of the pharmacy searching through the pill bottles for the right one. Once she finale found the bottle she grabbed it putting in in her bag. "Glenn you ready to go?" She called out for him walking over to him, she startled him because he dropped what he was doing on the ground and begun to panic.
"Uhh yeah." he replied turning around to look at her.
"What were you doing?" She asked him, he dropped down to the ground and grabbed a box. Maggie watched as he went to the ground and saw the magazine that was on the ground behind with the words Playboy on the front cover. Maggie crossed her arms over her chest and a smile spread on her fast as he came up from the ground holding a random box he found when she knew he was really looking at the magazine.
"I was just you know get things we need." He said, gesturing to the box in his hand.
"Condoms? You got a secret girlfriend I don't know about?" Glenn's eyes got wide as he looked at the label of the box in his hand.
"Wait no that's not. Oh my god." Maggie smiled as he begun to freak out.
"So were you planning on trying to get me to sleep with you?" She asked him, she was enjoying having some fun with him watching him freak out.
"No, I would never try to sleep with you."
"What so am I not good enough for you or something?" She asked him making him freak out more.
"Wait what? No that's not what I meant." He said, pulling the hat off his head running his hand through his hair.
"Well I'd sleep with you." She replied, his face dropped and his mouth hung open.
"You would?" He asked her, she answered his question by pulling the top off her body and tossing it to the ground. Glenn's eyes went to look at her chest and he swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat. Maggie unhooked her bra and slid it off her shoulders exposing herself in front of him. She stepped closer to him and gently kissed his lips. Maggie wished this would of been Daryl that this was happening with in the moment but she made her decision and now she would have to go through with it.
...
Daryl was going along the side of the creek riding Nellie searching for Sophia. While searching he had been thinking about camp and Maggie had come across his mind. He had seen her with Glenn and something in him when he saw them together made him notice that he would never have a shot with her, hell she was way out of his league. She was the girl who he dreamed about the girl he wished he could have but would never get. She was beautiful and amazing and he was Daryl he was the outcast he never had a chance with her. daryl shook the thought out of his head remeber he was out here looking for Sophia not to lust over a girl he will never get.
He begun to look around at his surrounding looking if there is any place Sophia would hide out or so. Out of no where Nellie begun to freak out. "Waoh, Waoh" Daryl yelled, trying to calm the horse but instead he was thrown right off her back. He slammed down against rock and begun to slip down the rock. The water was slamming him in the face and his sides were getting beaten by sharp rock hitting him as he slid down the rock wall. Daryl felt a sharp thing stab into his left side and he knew he was in trouble when he finale stopped and looked to his side to see a arrow.
"Son of a bitch." he yelled out, slowly getting to his knees Daryl took out his hunting knife and cut off his shirt sleeves tying them together and pulling it around his waist and around the arrow. Getting to his feet he looked up at the top from where he fell from. Daryl looked around to find something to help him get up the ledge with and found a good size stick he could use for support. Bending down to grab it he felt pain cores through his left side and jumped back up.
"Fuck." He wailed out grabbing at his side. He looked down at the stick and knew if he was going to get back he was going to need it so he bit down hard on his bottom lip and bent down grabbing the stick and shooting right back up. His hand went right to the arrow pushing on it, the feeling of him pushing on it some how made the pain ease a bit but not much. The loud sound of leaves shaking made him spin around fast and his eyes so a bush shaking. Daryl grabbed the stick and begun to feel around in the knee deep murky water for his bow. He kneeled down slowly walking feeling around with the stink. The stick slammed into something making Daryl reach out for it and grab it hesitantly. He felt relieved when he pulled his bow out of the water. Looking back to the bush he saw it was no longer moving so he made his way over to the ledge and begun to work his up.
"Come on stop being such a pussy" Daryl told himself as he had finale made it to the top. He threw the stick back to the ground and grabbed at a root sticking out of the ground. Daryl went to pull himself up when the root ripped out of the ground and he went flying backwards down the dirt crashing into trees and bushes on his way down until he finale black out.
...
Maggie jumped out of the car and made her way to the house entering the house she saw Lori and Carol both sitting at the kitchen table with Beth and Patricia. As she entered the dining room where they were all talking they all turned to look at Maggie and showed her a bright smile. She returned there smiles and walked over to the cabnit putting away a few things she had grabbed at the store.
"Maggie, Carol and I were thinking about cooking you all dinner to thank you for everything you guys have done for us." Lori said, Maggie turned around and looked at her and shook her head.
"You guys don't have to do that." She replied but Carol stepped in.
"Please let us it's a nice distraction from Sophia and you have done so much for all of us." Maggie smiled and then looked over to Beth who looked pretty happy about the idea and Patricia looked hesitant.
"Alright why not." Maggie replied, smiling at them. They both smiled at her then turned back to Beth and Patricia returning to there conversation.
Maggie decided to go take a walk around the yard to keep her busy, while walking she went by the chicken coop, the horse stable and a few of the wells. While she was finale making her way back to the house she was stopped by someone yelling her name. She turned around and saw Glen running to her.
"Maggie wait up." Glen yelled, jogging over to her. "Hey."
"Hey." She replied starting to walk again.
"So I was wondering we still have eleven condoms." Maggie stopped and turned to look at him.
"Yeah you see eleven condoms, I see eleven minutes of my life I'll never get back." She told him making his smiling face drop.
"Wait it wasn't bad, was it?" He asked in a confused look, Maggie just smiled and shacked her head.
"Look I don't even know if I like you."
"But you were thinking about it." He said as they walked up to the deck, he leaned and arm against the railing trying to look cool. Maggie rolled her eyes and pushed past him leaving a confused Glenn behind.
...
Daryl opened his eyes to what he assumed were the blurry trees and sky, his head felt like he was getting pounded by a hammer. Daryl groned and rubbed his head where he has slammed it durring his fall.
"Why don't ya pull that arrow out dummy?" Daryl squinted his eyes and rubbed them looking at the speaking figure before him.
"Merle?" He breathed out.
"No It's the Easter bunny, don't ya see me hoppin around in my little bunny ears and cotton ball tail. Of course it's Merle ya fuckin idiot." He said kicking his brother boot.
"So what's going on over here ya havin a slumber party or somethin'?" He asked looking down at Daryl.
"I've had a shitty day bro." He said wincing in pain.
"Oh ya want old Merle here to grab ya a pill and maybe rub them nasty old feet of yours?"
"Screw you." Daryl said, trying to completely adjust his eyes.
"So where ya been baby brotha? Ya stopped lookin for old Merle."
"I tired like hell to find ya brother."
"Yeah sure ya did, you been to busy playing sidekick to officer friendly. So what are ya his bitch now?"
"I ain't nobodies bitch."
"Uh huh that's what ya say now. Just wait pretty soon they goin be scraping ya off there feet like dog shit." Merle said, Daryl could feel his eyes once again beginning to shut. "Hey, they aint ya blood. None of them are goin to care for ya little brother. I'm the only who will ever care for ya remember that." He told Daryl grabbing his face and making him open his eyes. "Now come on now, get up on ya feet or I'm goin to have to kick ya teeth in." Merle said, getting to his feet and puling at Daryl's feet.
Daryl opened his eyes and look down to his feet and saw a walker biting at his feet. Daryl kicked the walker in the head and shifted himself onto his elbows and pushed himself up and reached for his bow. The walker jumped on top of him and reached for his neck. Daryl threw a punch at the walker his fist connecting with its jaw. He threw another few punches each one hitting it's rotten skin. His next punch then turned into a grab as he grabbed the walkers neck and changed the position putting the walker under his weight. Daryl grabbed at the walker trying to rip out its jaw. A sharp pain went up his side and he moved his hand to the arrow in his side. The walker pushed at Daryl flipping them over, Daryl grabbed a stick and slammed the walker's head.
His eyes caught something moving in the distance and he looked up to see another walker making it's way over to them. He bashed in the walkers head with the stick then grabbed the arrow in his side and ripped out the arrow. Daryl took the arrow in his mouth and reached for his bow. Aiming at the walkers head he lied back as the walker ran up to him and he shot the walker right between the eyes. Daryl laid back and tried to catch his breath and felt sleep take over.
...
Maggie was carrying in tables to the dinning room for everyone to sit at when she spotted her father looking at the ladied in the kitchen.
"What's this?" Her father asked her as she placed the table down.
"Lori and Carol are cooking dinner for us all tonight." Maggie replied knowing her father would not be in favor of it.
"Well this is the first I've heard of it."
"I didn't think it was that big a deal. They want to help us for helping them." Maggie replied knowing that her dad would just go along with it if she played dumb.
"We need to be setting clear boundaries with these people. There getting a little to comfortable."
"It's just dinner." Maggie said rolling her eyes.
"What's going on with the Asian boy." Hershel asked changing the conversation.
"Glenn, he's a friend." Maggie replied
"I rather he wasn't. It's bad enough I have to chase Beth and Jimmy around I don't want to be chasing you around to."
"I'm not sixteen anymore, I'm a little to old to be having this conversation." Maggie replied, leaving the room hoping to avoid her dad for the rest of the night.
...
Daryl woke up and knew that he had to get out of there before it got dark. He slowly got to his feet grabbing the stick to help him get up the ledge and his bow he started to walk over to the ledge when something caught his eye. He saw a doll at the edge of the water, he walked over grabbing the doll and once he picked it up he knew it was Sophia's. He stuffed the doll in his back pocket then made his way to the edge of the ledge and begun to climb up it.
He could feel pain shooting up his side from the arrow he had removed. The pain had gone down a bit but was still there since he removed the arrow. Half way up the ledge he saw a figure standing at the top.
"Oh come on now Darleena you can do betta' than that." Daryl rolled his eyes as he once again heard his brother's voice.
"I liked it better when you were missin." Daryl said pulling himself further up.
"Come on now don't be like that, I'm on your side."
"yeah sense when?"
"Hell sense they day you were born baby brotha. Somebody had to look after ya worthless ass." Daryl stopped climbing and looked up to Merle who was smirking down at him.
"Yeah you never took care of me, You were never there. You always talked a big game but it was never real."
"I'll tell ya what, I'm as real as ya chupacabra."
"I know what I saw" Daryl yelled beginning to get extremely pissed off.
"yeah and I'm sure those shrooms you ate had nothing to do with it." Merle said laughing.
"You best shut the hell up." Daryl yelled back at him.
"Or what you going to come up here shut my mouth up for me?" Merle said in a fit of laughter, Daryl begun to climb faster wanting to make it up there to punch his brother in the blocked out the rest of what his brother said and climbed faster until his hand finale hit the top. With all his strength he pushed himself up and dropped on the ground trying to catch his breath.
Daryl had felt such relief when he finale saw the house in his view. Limping he begun to make his way for the house, making his way through the tree line he slowed down his pase knowing that he won't have to watch his back anytime soon. Her heared the loud yell of Walker and rolled his eyes.
"I ain't no fuckin walker." He mumbled under his breath. He saw people running to him knew it was probably Rick, Shane and T-Dog running to take him out. He had a smile spread on his lips thinking about how disappointed there going to be when they sees it's just him. His eyes watched Rick as he aimed his gun towards his head. Everyone stopped and looked at him and Rick didn't put his gun down.
"About time you pointed that thing at my head. You going to pull the trigger or not?" He asked Rick who put his gun down once he said that. The sound of a gun shot went off then Daryl felt a sharp pain hit the side of his scalp making fall to the ground.
...
Maggie jumped up in her seat as the sound of a gun went off. She looked over to Lori and Carol who both started to run to the front door. Maggie followed behind them making her way to her father her eyes looked at the figure beging carried by Shane and Rick.
"Oh my god it's Daryl." She heard Beth say, Maggie felt her heart speed up and she ran over to them here eyes looking straight at Daryl.
"Is he okay?" She asked, Rick looked over at her gave her a nod.
"Yeah just passed out." Maggie followed behind them as they followed her father into the house.
