The Lost Ones- Ch. 2: Do You Remember Me? (Part I)
-The sun slowly rises the next morning. Jesse wakes up on his small cot in the main room of the shack.-
Jesse: (to himself) Glad that dude didn't put an arrow through my head. He was so close to doing it. Hm...but I didn’t wake up dead so I guess it doesn't really matter does it? Heh.
-He gets up off the cot and stands up, stretching and looking out of the window.-
Jesse: Beautiful day out today...
-He stares out for a moment before he slowly walks over to Daryl’s room.-
-He knocks and waits a few moments before Daryl slowly opens the door.-
Jesse: Uh no...Just...just checking on you. Making sure you're alright. Making sure you aren't...y’know...planning my demise.
-Jesse laughs but Daryl keeps a straight face-
Jesse: (clears his throat) Sorry, that was a bad joke. I have a really bad sense of humor.
-Daryl continues staring at him with the same cold look-
Jesse: Well anyway, when you're ready to come out, I've got a little morning grub out here. It isn't much but it'll get you going for the day I suppose.
Jesse: Meet ya out here in a bit.
-He gives Daryl the two thumbs up as he turns around and walks away. He hears the door shut behind him.-
Jesse: (God I hope it isn't gonna be like this for long. I'm getting slightly bothered...I mean...I know he doesn't trust me. And it's almost like he's ready to kill me at any moment.)
-Jesse takes a deep breath and begins rubbing his temples.-
Jesse: (You're just being dramatic again, Jesse. Just relax. Just... calm down...)
-As he continues thinking to himself, he hears footsteps behind him. Jesse's eyes grow wide and turns around to see Daryl standing.-
Jesse: Oh...Daryl....I was just...uhhh...ahem...
-Daryl walks past, looking at him strangely as he goes back into the other room.-
Jesse: (To himself) Great, not only does he not trust you. Now he thinks you're crazy. Way to go loser...(sighs)
-Jesse throws his arms up and walks to where Daryl is. He takes another can of fruit and eats. He looks over to Daryl.-
Jesse: Here's a can for you too.
-He tosses it and Daryl catches the can.-
Daryl: This? This aint food.
Jesse: Well it's somethin'. Ya can't run across stuff like this easily anymore ya know.
Daryl: Yeah but.... we could do better.
-Daryl takes his knife and opens the can up and begins to eat with his hands again.-
-Jesse looks down at his food and continues eating-
Daryl: Figure later... I could go out huntin' for a deer or somethin'. Get us some real food.
Jesse: Good luck. Ain't gonna find anything around these woods.
Daryl: You sure about that?
Jesse: Positive. I've tried....
Daryl: Nah....you said you’ve only been here couple days. Gotta be somethin'.
-Jesse gives him a curious look-
Jesse: Uhh noo.. i just have those traps out-...
Daryl: See. Shit like that don't work no more. You gotta get out and put in the work. These critters ain't gonna just come up. It's slim pickings out there. Those damn walkers done got every thing already.
Jesse: Point taken. Want me to join you?
Jesse: Are you sure? I could-...
Daryl: (cuts him off) I said no.
-Jesse nods his head and slightly chuckles to himself. Daryl looks up.-
Jesse: Just.... nevermind...
-Daryl throws the can on the ground and picks up the crossbow-
Jesse: You just remind me of someone I suppose.
-Daryl stares at him with a cold expression.-
Jesse: Well I supoose if you're gonna stare at me like that again. I might as well tell you. This guy...this guy I knew. He took me in...and he looked after me. (sighs) I...I guess... when I met you.. you were so eh of me...kinda like I was with him. And I...heh...I can't get the words out...
Jesse: (interrupts) I know. I know you aren't here to look after me and such, blah blah, not my friend, blah blah. I'm just trying to say I see alot of him in you.
Jesse: I'll stop now. (Stands up) This is a conversation for another time.
Daryl: Don't be to sure about that.
Jesse: Yeah...(lowers his head) Yeah I suppose you're right.
-The two stand there awkwardly for a few moments before Daryl slowly walks out of the door-
-The door shuts behind Daryl-
Jesse: Man I gotta stop doing that. He could give two shits about me. And I'm over him telling him love stories.
-He shrugs and sits back down on his cot, lays back, and looks up at the ceiling-
Jesse: Heh. Who am I kidding? He's nothing like him. I got so used to being looked after...that I forgot I'm alone. Even with Daryl here.
-He rolls over, now looking at the wall-
Jesse: (mutters) Might as well catch some shut eye. Nothing to do today. He won't let me help him. So I guess I could use some rest.
-He closes his eyes. As he falls asleep. He fades into a dream, hearing a familar voice-
Voice: Get up!!! Get up kid! C'mon!
