Daryl's pov:
We arrived in Alexandria. (Y/n) seems to taken a liking to this place. I look around me and see the millions of other men she can be with...Yet she's with me. The redneck with a crossbow. She deserves someone much better than me. So many guys worthy her flirt with her endlessly. But she turns them down because of her devotion to me. A worthless nothing. I realize now that she deserves better and I'm holding her back from getting what she really deserves.
The dream guy.
With a stable mind and heart. Someone that doesn't have a short temper and doesn't have a problem showing her affection in public.
Everything that I am not willing to be or do.
So I do what's best for her.

"Daryl...Talk to me you've been distant lately and I'm worried." She said

I avoided eye contact with her.

"Baby?" She tried to sit in my lap. I pushed her away.

"Don't call me that anymore."
I mumble.

Your pov:

I felt like I took one of his arrows to the heart.

"What?"

"Look, about us...It was just comfort. We never had a thang."

"What does that mean?" I asked shedding a tear

"We are not together anymore! Everything we ever said or done was because we needed distractions from everything outside the walls."

"Daryl, please I lov-"

"Just leave."

"Dar-"

"Leave!"

I packed my bag of very little stuff I had quietly trying not to shed my tears in front of him. After I got my things I left and walked to Abraham's house.
Rosita answered.

"Hi," I say smiling but I guess my voice must've cracked or I let a tear slip because when she looked at me she frowned

"What's wrong?"

"So um Daryl broke up with me," I said laughing but soon the laughter turned into sobs. Rosita ushered me inside and let me cry my heart out.

Fast forward 2 months later after the break-up I ended up with a new guy here named Braden:

He was a sweetheart such an awesome guy. Even Daryl moved on with Braden's cousin Jill:

It pains me to see them together. But this was what he wanted. So here I am hand in hand with Braden walking down the streets of Alexandria.

"So you have to go on that run first thing tomorrow," I asked.

"Yea I got to."

"Why can't you stay with me? I can fix us dinner and run a hot bath. Just the two of us" I say biting my lip.

"That's a very tempting offer."

"Then take it," I say biting his lip

"Afraid I can't, but-"

"Aww, baby."

"I'll be back around the same time. I would love it if you could have everything ready by then. Who knows maybe I could find some fancy champagne on the run."

"Would be nice," I say.

He kisses me multiple time on the lips but I pull away and giggle.

"Save it for the bath Mister," I say in a flirty tone.

"God I love you." He said smiling.

That sent a shiver down my spine. Love...That's a big- A huge word I don't know if I'm ready to use yet.

I heard i giggle and seen Jill and Daryl walking our way.

"Braden, (y/n) so nice to see you two!" Jill said.

I avoided looking at Daryl.

"Hey, Jill." I hug her. I can smell his scent on her. It almost brings me to tears I pull away. "Ready for the run tomorrow morning cous?" Jill asked Braden. Just smelling his scent broke me inside.

"I am, well (y/n) and I were on the way to have a little picnic before we have to head out."

"How sweet of you have fun!" Jill said. I gave her a small smile.

We walked away Braden spun me around I giggled.

"What's on your mind?" He asked me.

"What?"

"You look like you're deep in thought."

"I just don't wanna let you go on that run is all."

"Hey, I'll be safe and I will come back to you I always will." He kissed me sweetly. I teared up I realized what I had done.

"Hey don't cry I'll be back I promise." He gave me a kiss and I felt disgusted with myself.
I set this guy up to believe I fell for him. I played myself and him into believing that there was something between us when really all it really is...Is me trying to fill in an empty gap trying to replace Daryl. But Dammit! No one can! He may not be everyone's walking breathing dream but he's mine! And no man can take his place. Nobody can fill in that hole I realize that now...But if Daryl doesn't want me...If I can't make him happy...Then I have to let him go because that's what makes him happy...... I hope.

Soon we began our picnic. Though Braden seemed kind of nervous for some reason. I kept on asking him why he kept and coming up with excuses but then I finally got him to spill...

"It's nothing I'm just- I am- god woman you make it hard to get anything by you." He said laughing.

"You can tell me anything."

"Ok so I know that we haven't been together long but life nowadays is nothing to take lightly and for whatever time I have left...I would like to know that you were my wife." He pulled out a beautiful ring.

I gasped.

Oh my god...
