Teen Mom
Chapter 5 - Knight In Shining Armour
Daryl Dixon

When I ended the phone call with Beth I felt nothing but panic. I knew she had gone on that date tonight and then she's calling me begging me to help her and crying? I swear if that guy has hurt her in any way then I will kick his ass! I put a blanket over Hunter and put him in his car seat before taking him out to the car, I made sure he was secure before getting in the drivers seat and driving off to pick up Beth. I can't help but think something bad has happened to her. All I want is for her to be happy and safe, right now she doesn't sound happy or safe. I knew her dating this guy was bad news and I should have told her not to go… I should have locked her in the house if I had to!

I pulled up to where Beth said she would be and there she was standing at the side of the road crying, looking a mess and looking scared. I made sure Hunter was ok and saw he was fast asleep before getting out of the car. Beth ran into my arms crying and I wrapped my arms around her tightly as she cried into my chest. It was obvious she didn't want to talk about anything right now so I helped her into the car before driving back to my house. It was a short drive and Beth was silent the whole way there, she sat in the back of the car next to Hunter.

When I pulled up to the house I stopped the car but Beth didn't move, she just sat there staring at Hunter. I got out of the car and opened the car door at the back, she turned to face me and I saw more tears falling from her eyes "You wanna come in?" I asked her and she nodded "I'll get Hunter, you go in and make yourself comfortable" I told her and handed her the front door keys.

Beth slid out the car and made her way into the house as I went and got Hunter. Once in the house I saw Beth already curled up on the sofa, I took Hunter out of his car seat and handed him to Beth, I could tell that all she wanted to do was have Hunter in her arms and hold him close. She smiled softly at me as she brought Hunter close to her chest "You a drink or something?" I asked her but she just shook her head "If you're tired, you can go up to my room with Hunter if you want" I told her.

She shook her head at me in response. I decided to give Beth some time to just calm down and relax so I went into the kitchen and made myself something to eat and some coffee. I really wanted to know what happened on that date that has caused her to be like this, I know from her behaviour that it was something really bad. She doesn't normally shut down like this and become so closed off… especially from me. She normally tells me everything, good and bad because she knows I got her back and I know her better then pretty much anyone.

I heard shuffling and looked towards the door and saw Beth standing in the kitchen doorway with Hunter in her arms "Thank you for coming to get me" She said to me with a hoarse voice.

"You know I'll always come and get you" I told her "What happened?" I asked.

"Let me put Hunter down and we'll talk" She replied.

Beth put Hunter in his crib upstairs and grabbed the monitor before coming back down. The two of us sat down in the living room, Beth sat away from me a little bit and she seemed worried about telling me what was wrong which just made me more nervous "You can tell me anything" I said.

"I'm just scared at how you're going to react" She told me.

"Why?" I asked.

"I just know you won't like it" She replied.

"Just tell me" I said.

"He took me to this lake and it was so pretty. He tried kissing me and I told him I didn't like it and I wanted him to stop but he wouldn't let it drop. He said he brought me there to have sex with me. He called me a whore and sex was all I was good for. He said I couldn't open my legs for him but I could for a dirty red neck like you… he tried forcing himself on me but I managed to get away and that's when I called you" She explained to me.

"He did what?" I exclaimed angrily.

"Don't wake Hunter" She scolded.

"I'm gonna get my hands on him and I swear to God he's gonna wish he never even sent you that first message. I'm gonna beat him into the ground" I stated.

"Daryl please calm down" She pleaded with me.

I moved closer to her and I wrapped my arms around her "He tries to talk to you again you let me know" I said to her and she nodded into my chest and the two of us sat there just getting over the events of the evening "You better call your daddy and tell him you're that you're here and you're ok… unless you want me to take you home" I said to her.

"No I want to stay here, if that's ok" She replied.

"You know it is. You're always welcome here" I told her.

Beth Greene

What did I do to deserve such a great man like Daryl in my life? I couldn't ask for a better father for my son and I know that I've made a huge mistake in not being with him. I know he loves me and he would do anything for me, I know that I can turn to him whenever I need him. He knows me better then I know myself. When I was with Daryl originally we didn't work because we didn't know each other and we were just thrown into this situation but now know Daryl… I really know him. There are things I can't tell me family or friends but I know that I can tell Daryl and he'll support me.

Daryl and I got out of our embrace and I excused myself and went into the kitchen to call my daddy. The phone only rang for a second before he answered "Hershel Greene" He said as he answered.

"Hi daddy, it's me" I said.

"Hi baby. Are you ok?" He asked.

"Erm… things didn't go so well on my date. I'm at Daryl's and I'll be home tomorrow morning" I told him.

"Why are you at Daryl's?" He asked.

"Can we speak about all of this tomorrow? It's a long story and I'm tired" I told him.

"Ok baby. I'll see you tomorrow" He replied and we ended the conversation.

I went back out to Daryl and saw that he was sitting on the sofa, he had his arms resting on his knees and he looked pissed. I know it's because of everything that happened with David. Daryl really is protective over me and I know he's thinking of ways to hurt David for what he did to me.

I sat down next to Daryl and I rested my head on his shoulder and I wrapped my arms around his arm to let him know I was here. I could feel him start to relax from my touch, I breathed in Daryl's scent and I felt calmed by it. He always makes me feel calmer and more relaxed "Daryl?" I questioned.

"Yeah?" He questioned.

"You really are my knight in shining armour" I told him and placed a kiss on the side of his cheek.

Daryl turned to face me and the two of us sat there just staring at each other for a few seconds. Those few seconds felt like a life time. Our faces were so close together and I decided to take the plunge, I leaned forward and placed my lips on Daryl's. I didn't move just in case he pulled away and didn't want this. After Daryl didn't pull away for a few seconds I started kissing him and he kissed me back, I put hands on the side of his face and his hands went around me and pulled me closer to him.
