Daryl's pov~
Me and Beth were running, we had no choice but to run. We have been running for about a couple of miles now and my lungs were burning. We came along a long hayfeild and beth collapsed on the ground and so did i. I stared up at the sky and tried to gain my breath back. I took a side glance at Beth and she had dropped her small diary, i closed my eyes for a moment then reopened them. I rolled over and coughed from the lack of air in my lungs. I got the strenght to stand up and finally got my breath back. I held a hand out to Beth and she slowly took it, i pulled her up to her feet. All she did was nod a thanks at me and pick her book back up.
I sighed and started walking, glancing back behind me to make sure Beth was alright. I dont know why i have felt this protection over her lately.
Its different.
(Okay i know its short but blah and its almost 3 in the morning so sucky chapter)
