Finally they stopped running, again stood catching their breaths. Beth turned to see a walker coming towards them before she could say anything, the walker fell to the ground. She watched Daryl walk over to it and take the arrow out of it's head.

"Come on" He snapped and starting walking on. Beth let a big out sigh more walking she thought, all she wanted to do with rest. They've been walking for miles, all she wanted was a nice comfy bed, a shower and food. She chuckled to herself she could dream.

She got thinking about Daryl, Does he actually like her? He has a lot of issues and that but does he have to act the way he does?

Daryl turned round to look at her "alright?" Beth just nodded "We'll find some where to stop soon, I need to know its safe"

Hopefully Beth thought, and just carried on following him.

Daryl stopped in his tracks to find a cabin right in front of him. He smiled and looked at her "This will do" Walking up to the cabin "Y' comin?" not even looking at her. He heard her feet walking behind.

Daryl looked through the windows, rubbing some off the muck that covered them, to get a better view inside "Think its okay" looking at her. "I'll go in first" pulling crossbow out and leaning it against his shoulder. "I'll call you in" Daryl walked inside the cabin, just one big room. No walkers, just a camp bed, a chair and fire place. "Beth" he called.

He watched her walk in and close the door behind her. "Is there a lock on the door?" She looked behind to the door, nodded and locked the door.

"You take the bed" He started covering the windows with wood leaving some gaps so the sun can come through.

"You sure?" Beth spoke up, it was the first words to come out of her since his fight with her. Daryl grunted and turned to face her.

"Wouldn't of said anything, if I didn't want you to have the bed" He went back to finish the windows.

"Can I do anything to help?" she asked nervously.

Daryl looked at her and smirked "start a fire" pointed at the fire place "it will warm this place up"

Beth smiled at him "okay" and walked over to the fireplace.

Beth knelt to her knees, putting bits of wood and paper from her note pad into the fireplace. She reached down into the back pocket of her jeans and grabbed the lighter. Lighting all the paper, as she watched the fire catch all the wood and the rest of the paper. Smiled to herself adding some leaves in to.

The cabin already felt so warm, it felt nice. Beth sat down on the dusty camp bed. Coughed a little as she swallowed some of the dust. Daryl looked over at her, she smiled at him and he nodded his head.

"Y' hungry?" he softly as Beth nodded in return. Daryl grabbed his crossbow and headed towards the door. "Lock it when I leave" opened the door and walked out. Beth ran over to the door, locked it while sliding the down the door.

Is life gonna be like this now? Being with him? Or will I actually get to find my sister? What if that prick was right, what if they were all dead. What if I was right and their out there. Life once again has just turned to shit. She had no one but this stupid redneck. That doesn't really care about her.

She sat their thinking about Daryl, he wasn't so bad.

She felt safe and protected

Daryl returned only bringing back to rabbits, Beth cooked them up by the fire. They sat their eating in silence. The only sounds were Daryl spitting bits out. She looked over at him and looked at her. "Thank you" She said and went back to eating a bit of her food.

"For what?" He grunted

"This" She smiled "Everything"

He nodded "I didn't do much" chucking the bones of the rabbit in the fire "Just hunted"

She watched him "No, saving me" looking down "helping me to survive" She gave him a small smile.

She could tell Daryl felt unconformable. "I could of died" Eating the rest of her rabbit and chucking in the fire like he did. "if you didn't grab me, I wouldn't be here" She started playing with her shoe lace of her boot. "I know you don't like me much" looking at him straight in the eyes.

"Is that what you think?" he finally spoke up while getting up off the floor, she saw the anger in his eyes, like she really pissed him off now.

"Yes, you don't even look at me." She raised her voice "and when you do look me, you see another dead girl"

"What you want from me girl?" Getting closer to her, picking her up from the floor by her arm.

Beth pushed him away forcefully.

"I want you to stop acting like you don't give a crap about anything" She yelled while rubbing her arm. "Like nothing we went through mattered" pauses "Like none of people we lost meant anything to you, It's bullshit!" Daryl stood back a little bit shocked to hear what she was saying to him.

"Is that what you think?" stepping closer to her.

"That's what I know" she said lowering her voice and stepping away from him.

"Y' don't know nothin" Grabbing her close.

"I know you look at me and see another dead girl" she spat at him repeating what she said before. "I'm not Michonne, I'm not Carol, I'm not Maggie" she finished yelling at him pulling herself away from him.

"I survived and you don't get it, I'm not like you or them" She paused to look at him his face soften a little bit. "but I made it, You don't need to treat me like crap cause your afraid"

Yet again she made him angry with her words, she could tell by his face.

He wasn't happy.

"I ain't afraid of nothin" got close to her face.

"I remember" She pauses and just looks at him "when that little girl came out of the burn after my mom" He just stared at her. "You were like me"

She looked at him. He was moving away from her slowly, "and now god forbid you ever let anybody get to close" she yelled.

"To close huh?" He piped up "you know all about that" Pauses "you lost to boyfriends, you cant even shed a tear" he yelled.

Now she getting angry "Screw you" she yelled at him. "you don't get it"

"No you don't get it!" He shouted "Everyone we know is dead!"

"You don't know that!" she yelled getting closer to him.

"They mite as well be cause you aint never gonna see them again!" Daryl getting angrier now, not just with her but with himself for saying shit like that. "Rick, you ain't never gonna see Maggie again"

"Daryl just stop!" Trying to touch him, he pushed her away. Turning around so his back was facing her. "the governor rolled right up too our gates" pauses to get his breath back from shouting. Leaning up against a wall, still his back facing her.

"Maybe if I wouldn't of stopped looking" Turns his head round a little to see her, saw her watching him, quickly turned round to face the wall again "maybe cause I gave up" yelling.

"Daryl" she said trying to touch him, he kept pushing her away every touch she tried to make.

"And your dad" Trying not to show her he was getting upset. "maybe...maybe ..I could of done some thing" Beth just wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him tight. Leaning her head on his back. Hearing the sounds of him sob.

Beth was now laying down in the camp while Daryl was sat in the chair. It was pitch black outside, the only light they had was the fire. So they could just make out each others faces.

"Don't you ever tell anyone, about what happened" he made her jump, she wasn't expecting him to talk to her. She sat up to look at him, his eyes were close. He wasn't looking very comfortable.

"Your secret is safe with me Daryl Dixon" She smirked to herself. And laid back down on the camp bed.

"Good" she could hear him chuckle

"Daryl" she said quietly

"hmm" he opened his eyes.

She sat up and looked at him "do you think we could find them?"

"I don't know" he paused "they're strong people" he smiled at her "we start tracking tomorrow"

Beth smiled and settled back down in to bed.

She thought he wasn't that bad

she needed him and he needed her.
