(You are the second oldest, the middle Greene child. Maggie your older sister and Beth your baby sister)

tw: mentions of death

(y/n pov)

I stayed with Michonne, Carl, Judith, and the priest Gabriel. He had gotten us surrounded by walkers, I gripped my knife and lunged at a walker, stapping it through its hard skull.

"Shit, they're overflowing the place."

"The rectory, come on," said Gabriel

We ran towards the rectory, we looked down and Gabriel pointed to the opened wood planes.

"That's how I got out. Crawl under to the back," said Gabriel

~

We finally made it out, waiting outside. I carried Judith as she played with my hair.

"Where did you go?" asked Michonne

"The school." replied Gabriel, "I had to see. I had to know."

Suddenly the door started breaking apart, I handed Judith to Carl and cocked my gun.

Out of nowhere, a large firetruck stopped in front of the door, stopping the walkers from coming out. I squinted and noticed it was Maggie and the rest.

I ran towards her, embracing her in a hug, "You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. Are you?"

"Of course," said Maggie giving me a forehead kiss.

Maggie let go and hugged Michonne.

"You're back," said Michonne towards Glenn

Glenn looked around, "Eugene lied. He can't stop it. Washington isn't the end. Where is everybody?"

I smiled, "Beth's alive. She's in a hospital in Atlanta. Everyone went."

Maggie gasped and hugged me, "Oh my God."

I felt tears slip through my eyes, "I know."

"Some people have her, but the others went to get her back," said Michonne

"Do we know which one?" asked Maggie

"Grady Memorial."

Glenn hugged us both, "We'll get her back."

"Let's blow this joint, go save your sister," said Tara

~

We pulled to a stop, in front of Grady Memorial. I squeezed Maggie's hand, excited yet nervous to see Beth. Maggie squeezed back and smiled, "Let's get Bethy."

We all got down and aimed our weapons, we took down a few walkers and headed towards the front doors. The door suddenly opened and we walked faster.

"Beth?" I said walking faster toward our group.

I saw Maggie drop her gun, and I gasped. Everyone was quiet, coming behind them was Daryl carrying Beth.

I let out a scream and tried holding Maggie up, she let out a cry and fell to the ground.

"No, no, no. Oh God, not Beth!" I cried, "Ah, no."

Maggie let out more sobs, Glenn holding her back. I got up and tripped over.

"D-Daryl, please no." I sobbed, tears pouring out.

Daryl couldn't say anything back except tears rolled down his face. He carried her limp body towards us, as he let out sobs too. I stood up and touched Beth's face, still warn. Our poor innocent baby sister.

"I'm so s-sorry Bethy," I bit my lip, and I saw blood trickling down her face. I felt my stomach churn and I ran towards the side, throwing up.

~

We stopped at the side of the road, I could hear Maggie crying. I couldn't be with her right now as much as I loved her I couldn't bear the pain of seeing Maggie in pain.

I pinched my skin, trying to feel something. I heard footsteps coming from behind me so I wiped my tears.

"Hey," said Daryl

"H-Hey Daryl."

Daryl and I were involved, romantically. We never called ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend but we know we loved each other.

I bit my lip, swallowing a lump in my throat, "I-I can't"

Daryl took me into an embrace, his bigger frame swallowing me. I felt safe in his arms, I could travel far away and feel safe in his arms. I finally broke, tears wetting Daryl's shirt, sobs being covered by his chest. I felt myself gasping for air.

"Ssh, I know." said Daryl rubbing my back, "Let it out."

I hugged him tightly, I let out a few more sobs and just let myself rest in his chest.

"I know you cared for her too Daryl." I said looking up, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too. She was your sister, I know what it's like to lose a sibling," said Daryl wiping a tear away.

I nodded, remembering the stories he told me about Merle. "Does the pain really ever go away? After dad, I thought I was numb to people dying but with Beth, it somehow feels worse."

Daryl rubbed my back, not knowing what to say. I know some conversations were hard to bear for him and I was okay with just how we were.

"I love you, Daryl. I just wanted to say it before anything else happens."

Daryl stood there quietly, "I love you too."

I smiled and stayed in his embrace.
