Aspiring Dove
Chapter Two
Beth's POV
The gun was secure in my pocket as I saw Daryl turn the corner of the hall. I followed him until I slipped into the prison's cafeteria. Taking the gun out of my pocket, I noticed my hands were getting clammy.
Stop it, Beth. Just do it. You'll be happier if you do.
I sighed and took the gun making sure it was fully loaded. Gulping, I held it up to my head and cocked it, preparing to pull the trigger when…
"Beth?" I heard a low voice ask.
I turned my head just to be met with Daryl's astonished expression.
"Leave, Daryl," I said.
"I thought I told ya to stay in the cell block, girl! What'cha doin' out here for?"
"I think it's been made pretty clear."
"If you wanted to do it, you would've done it already."
He was right. Why hadn't I just pulled the trigger? I sniffled, embarrassed at what was happening at the moment.
"Why would you even try it, Beth?" Daryl asked.
"I was alone. With my thoughts," I laughed, sniffling as tears fell from my eyes.
I got up and dropped the gun, as I brushed past Daryl.
"Beth, you better not try anything again. Your sister's gonna get pissed if you do."
I sighed, "I just want something or someone to love. I don't have anybody and you know that. Not in this world."
"Why don't you just try to look a little closer?" He asked, as he stepped away from me walking around the corner again.
I blinked, as my heart started to flutter. What was I feeling? Did Daryl really just tell me not to give up?
I've never really thought that Daryl would notice me. Other than passing by each other when walking around the cell block, or helping Rick kill off the walkers at the gates. But he noticed me today. And not just because what I did. Because what I said. I could feel my heart moving from a flutter to skipping a few beats. I just stood there, thinking about how I could have a crush on none other than Daryl Dixon.
…
That afternoon, Maggie was cradling a soft baby in her arms. She announced to Rick that Lori died from childbirth. Rick was in tears and had a crazy look in his eyes. But my eyes kept to the baby, still mourning for Lori, but wondering how and when Lori and Rick proclaimed their love for each other by welcoming a new person into the world. I was jealous. I've always wanted to be a mother. It made me regret even thinking about death. But it didn't make me regret what I was feeling. I turned around just to be met with Daryl's eyes, staring sadly from Rick to the baby. My heart fluttered again, whenever I would see him it would do that. That's when I knew. I, Beth Greene, is in love with Daryl Dixon. And I don't know how to act around him anymore.
