Later that night when Daryl was coming to his tent for bed, he saw the girls standing by their tent talking quickly to each other. They were holding hands and Jocelyn looked upset. Jillian had her back to him so he couldn't see her face. Jocelyn was pale and it looked like Jillian was trying to reassure her. Daryl got closer to his tent and could hear what they were saying.
" I don't want to sleep in the tent. We should sleep in the car, we will be safer." Jocelyn was saying.
" Jocelyn, we will be fine." Jillian was saying. Jocelyn noticed Daryl as he set his cross bow down.
" Hey, what type of people are these people?" Jocelyn asked him. Jillian glanced over her shoulder at him. Daryl shrugged his shoulders.
" I don't know. I don't know them." He said. Jillian ran her hand through her hair then faced him.
" Are we safe with them? Do we need to lock ourselves in our car?" Jillian asked.
" No, why would you need to do that?" Daryl asked.
" Because people aren't nice." Jocelyn said.
" What she means is, we ran into some pretty awful people before. We just want to make sure that doesn't happen again." Jillian said.
" Well, I don't think they will do anythin. Look, I'm right beside you guys if anyone fucks with you I will hear it, alright?" Daryl asked. Jillian looked at her sister.
" See? We will be fine." She said.
" You know, I don't get you. How can you just brush off what happen? Just because he says he's right there, you're just forgetting what happen." Jocelyn snapped. Jillian squeezed her sister's hand sharply.
" That's not true and you know it." She said in a warning tone. " Just get in the fucking tent and go to sleep." She said. Something in Jillian's face must have convinced Jocelyn because she turned from her and went into the tent without another word. Jillian's head dropped as her shoulders sagged. She took a deep breath and faced him. " Thank you." She said softly.
" What the fuck are you thankin me for?" Daryl asked. Jillian shook her head then went into her tent.

The girls settled into the camp nicely but stuck together most of the time. They'd smile and answer questions but they hardly ever went out of their way to talk to anyone on their own. Jillian was more friendly then Jocelyn was. The others in the camp noticed that they seemed to stick mostly to Daryl, which everyone thought was strange. They talked with Glen and Amy when Daryl wasn't around but the second they saw him, they almost made a beeline towards him.
Daryl wasn't sure he how much he liked that they stuck to him. He was a loner and since Merle was gone, he didn't feel like being responsible for anyone else. The girls didn't talk much to him but they sat close to him at dinner time and Jillian would help him get what meat he had hunted, ready for dinner but even than, they hardly spoke. Even though he knew Jillian from the bar, and had even been interested in her before the world went to hell. But he felt like she wasn't the type that went for guys like him, so he wanted to keep his distance from her.
He was sitting on some rocks by the lake at dust one night about a month and a half after the girls were found. He just needed some alone time, some time to think. He still wasn't sure how he felt about losing his brother and finding her. He never seemed to have a moment to himself and he just needed to think. He thought he had found peace and quiet until he heard the girls' voices.
" Come on, Jilly!" He heard Jocelyn call.
" I'm coming!" He heard Jillian's voice shortly afterwards. He quickly slipped behind a rock as they ran down the trail from the camp to the lake.
Both girls were holding hands as they ran to the deck. They were laughing as they launched themselves off of it. They disappeared under the water quickly. As soon as the water washed over them, the girls let go of their hands. The bubbles quickly rose around them as they started swimming to the surface. Jillian was the first one to break through the water. She came up laughing and looking around.
" Jocelyn?" She called. When she didn't see her sister, Jillian turned in the water, looking everywhere, "Joce?" She called again. Suddenly something grabbed her by the ankle and yanked her under water. She screamed before she slipped under. Jocelyn came out of the water laughing. When Jillian's head popped up again she was coughing. " You're such a bitch!"
" But you love me!" Jocelyn sang out as she threaded water.
" I don't know why." Jillian said as she swam back to the dock.
" Ah, don't be mad, Jilly bean!" Jocelyn said as she started towards her sister. " I bet if it was Dixon, you won't be mad!" Daryl tilted his head as he watched the scene.
" Shut up!" Jillian hissed as she quickly looked around. " Someone might hear you!" Jocelyn laughed.
" Why are you so shy when it comes to boys and I'm ready to jump anyone who comes along?" Jocelyn said.
" Because I'm not a whore like you." Jillian said as she pulled herself onto the deck.
" I'm not a whore." Jocelyn said as she reached her sister. " I'm just not selective." Both girls looked at each other for a second before they started laughing. Jillian helped Jocelyn onto the deck and they both laid down, holding hands. " Come on, Jilly, it's the end of the world. You have been talking about him since he first came into the bar."
" Yeah well, I don't think he sees me like that. He never talked to me much, it was always his brother that did the talking. He barely even looked at me." She said. Daryl shook his head. He had looked at her all the time, even knew her laugh by heart. He ran his hand through his hair.
" Maybe he doesn't like girls." Jocelyn said. " I mean, he doesn't seem gay and I have seen him looking at you but you never know." She said. Daryl leaned against the rock and listened to them talk. He never, in a million years, would have thought someone like her who be into someone like him.
" It doesn't matter. I'm sure it's just a stupid crush because he's the ultimate unattainable guy." Jillian closed her eyes and sighed. " You're not one to talk to me about not acting on a crush, I see you have been talking to Glen a lot." Jocelyn laughed.
" Yeah, he's so cute but I doubt he could handle someone like me." Jocelyn said.
" I'm sure not. He seems a bit inexperienced. I bet if you came on to him, he'd cum in his pants before you even got your clothes off." Jillian said. Jocelyn and Jillian looked at each other then started laughing again. After a while they were quiet. Jillian closed her eyes again and rested head against Jocelyn's shoulder.
" Are we ever going to talk about what happen?" Jocelyn asked. Daryl could hear Jillian sigh.
" What's the point? It happen, we are fine." She said. " I just want to forgot about it."
