Love Thy Neighbor: :||: Chapter Seven Teaser!

Hey y'all! So this chapter is a bit different than the others. Just as a heads up. 

It had been eight days since Beth and Sasha's coffee date. 

While I looked over the calendar that hung on my wall, I noticed there were more gaps than were normal or acceptable. Ever since I met her, the large boxes were filled coffee dates, karaoke bar performances, classes, and every other time our paths crossed. Hell, I hadn't even seen her at Church in a couple weeks. There was no doubt in my mind that it had something to do with those damn Dixons, but what was I supposed to do? Beth, while mine, was still an independent woman. How would she react if I started telling her who she could and couldn't spend time with? That was not how our relationship worked. If I started taking that away, she'd leave me and I couldn't have that.

Love They Neighbor

Good grades, a great job, her own apartment, Beth was off to a pretty decent start at being on her own. But throw in Daryl Dixon, his jackass brother, and random phone hang ups? That would throw anyone off their game…

Love Thy Neighbor :||: Chapter SIX Teaser!

Once Daryl laid next to me, sleep overcame me like a storm. 

I had slept through the night and woke up the next morning, freaking out because I was late for school. My shooting up in bed elicited an attempt at a calming noise from Daryl, who was sitting in a chair in the corner of the room with his shotgun close by and his knives and whetstone in his lap. 

"Calm down, Beth," the hunter murmured, his eyes never leaving the task at hand. "Yer okay, everythin's alright."

Shaking my head, I ran my fingers through my wild blonde hair. "I have class today," I replied, my voice hoarse from all the crying I'd done the night before. Peering over at the nightstand, I noticed that the clock said it was 10:37, an hour and a half past my class time. "But I missed it. I guess, never mind." 

Setting his tools down, Daryl leaned over, resting his forearms on his knees. I could see the bags underneath his eyes. I knew what they meant. He'd stayed up all night watching over me like some type of guardian angel regardless of the fact that I'd asked him to sleep. I honestly should have expected him to do the exact opposite of what I asked, but I had just wished that maybe he wouldn't take all this on his own shoulders.

Here you go y'all! a long awaited fifth chapter in our lovely tale!

Chapter FIVE Teaser!

Time went by slower than molasses in January.

That night when Daryl brought me to his apartment, and after we'd finally explained the entire situation to Merle, the two brothers sent me off to the bedroom to sleep. How they expected me to sleep after everything that had happened earlier that evening, I had no idea. My mind wouldn't stop racing and neither would my heart. Even being in the Dixons' terrified me. While I consciously knew there was probably no safer for me to be at that moment, I still couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. Was that what my life was going to be from then on? Rampant paranoia, constantly looking over my shoulder. Just the thought alone made me sick to my stomach and also made me thank God I had already expelled as much as I possibly could have.

Love thy Neighbor; Chapter Four Teaser!

"What's that look for...?" 

I'd never seen Daryl look at me the way he did during that phone call. The look of sheer terror in his eyes as he looked me over was one I'll likely never forget. It was the kind of look that gave me chills, like he was looking at a ghost in my window. 

With a sterner voice, but a shaky one, I questioned him again. "Who was it, Daryl? What did they say?"

He didn't even answer as he hung up the phone. Once it was on the cradle, he slammed his fists down on my table which caused me to jump at least a foot. I couldn't help but wonder what had made him so angry. Who could have called my apartment and said something that elicited this kind of response from him? "What is God's name are you doing?!" I exclaimed, my heart racing and my chest heaving from the shock of his actions, "What was that for?!"

 "Don't worry Daryl. Eventually, I won't need to call. Make sure to tell Beth that she looks beautiful in that dress for me." And that was it before the line went dead. 

All I could do was turn and stare at Beth, my eyes lookin' over her favorite dress, the white one with little blue flowers that made her eyes shine. And for the first time I could remember, I was scared...
