"Future. What do you mean by future?" I really wish I hadn't spoken.

"Nothing," I said trying to avoid the conversation.

"Daryl, what do you mean by future?" she asked again. Why couldn't she just let it go? I really didn't want to have this discussion right now. I tried walking away but she grabbed my hand,

"Daryl, I'm going to ask one more time. What do you mean by future?" I know she was going to keep bugging me about, so there was no longer any point trying to avoid it. Once I turned around to face her, I saw the look of concern on her face.

"Listen it isn't important, right now we need to find Sophie. I'll tell you later." The story was too long to tell and plus it was starting to get dark soon. I don't mind being out in the woods late at night, but I'm not sure about Beth.

"Ok." That was the last word she said before we continued looking again. The sun had already gone down and we had no luck. We were headed back to her house, when I heard a faint cry in the distance. I stopped walking which caused Beth to bump into me. What is it? She asked but I put a one finger up to my mouth, signaling her to be quiet. It was dead silent the only thing you could hear was the sound of a cricket. That's when the faint cry came again this time it didn't stop. I followed the sound of where the crying was coming from. As I got closer the faint crying sound grew louder.

I ran towards the sound and almost tripped. I looked down and saw Sophie curled up on the ground. Beth picked her up as soon as she saw her. Beth cried as she held Sophie in her arms. I just watched, shocked that I found her and relieved that she wasn't hurt.

"Mommy, I'm scared," I heard her whisper. Instead of responding, Beth held her even closer. In that moment I knew it was time for me to accept that I was going to remain in the future and by me denying it, it almost cost my daughter's life.

We eventually went to the hospital to get Sophie checked out. The doctors said she had a slight concussion that could have been caused by her tripping over something and hitting her head really hard, but other than that she was fine. Right now, I was sitting in the waiting area while Beth was in the room with her. Even though the doctors said she'd be alright, they still wanted to keep her in the hospital for the night to make sure that she was truly ok. I felt like objecting but the look on Beth's face said she wasn't taking any risks.

I felt like I should be in that room with her right now, but I still weird about it. I just accepted my faith and I felt like going in there would push me even further than I wanted to be pushed. I was sitting in the waiting for about 1 or 2 hours or even more before Beth came out the room. She looks physically and emotionally drained. I don't know what came over me but I pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you," she said after we pulled apart from each other. I just nodded not knowing what else to say.

"I'm going home to change out of these clothes, but I'll be back."

"I'll go with you," I said. She looked like she didn't want to come too but she just nodded and walked away. I think that it is my cue to follow her and I did.

As soon as we pulled to the house, I felt uneasy because the times I've been here it wasn't for good situations. I shook of that uneasy feeling because I wasn't a little bitch. I followed her into the house. It's been a while since I've actually been inside the house, the first time I didn't want get chance to really look at it because I was in a rush not to get killed. But now really looking at it, it looked comfortable. I headed for the couch in the living room and sat down. Beth appeared out of the kitchen.

"Um…, I'm going to take a shower. I shouldn't be too long," she said before leaving me alone. It must be really weird treating me like a guest since this is my home after all, but I don't remember living here.

A/N: Sorry for this really short chapter, but I've been busy with school lately. I don't know when I'm going to update again but it probably should be soon. I didn't want to miss more than 3 weeks without posting another chapter because that's how I lose interest and this story will never be updated. Till next time
