Drinking does Help well sometimes.

[jessie]

Thanks Melinda and Sanda I am in love with WD stories. I have so many ideas for stories for Carol it is driving me crazy. Here is another story this will be short not sure how long it will be.

Drinking does Help well sometimes

Carol had been walking for hours, after she ran out of gas. There was not a bone in her body that was not hurting her. She was dragging her body each step felt like it took every ounce of her energy, if she had to run at this moment she would never make it. She looked up at the sky, and yelled to God asking him.

"Please give me a break, I am alone, and suffering, I know I deserve it but I need to find a place will you help me"

Carol half expected God to tell her fat chance you are ever going to get help from me. Carol smiled as she moved forward, and it was another half hour when she saw a small bar, and she walked toward it hoping no one was inside. She needed to just rest for a few hours , and maybe in the morning she could think straight, and decide what to do next. She opened the door of the bar, and walked inside scanning the place. It appeared to be vacant she checked everywhere, and she was so happy there was no unexpected walkers jumping out at her. She walked over to the door, and shutting it, and locked it than she used all the strength she had, and pushed a heavy table in front of it. She walked over , and put her bag on the table, and opened it looking inside for some food. Rick had gave her some she needed to eat very little because there was not much. She was starving she would love to have a cheeseburger with fries, and the a large chocolate shake. She pulled out a package Rick must of put together, and noticed he packed a bunch of his peas. Carol lost it throwing them across the room, and knew she just gave up dinner for the night. Rick has been spending every spare moment in his garden, and it was nice but she worked along side Michone, and Daryl, and she would go to bed every night sore, and she was part of the team so she thought. She felt tears come to her eyes she has not been alone ever she went from her Parents home right into a home with Ed. She hated this, and she knew thinking about the Group was useless because it would only make her feel worse. She finally got up, and walked over to the bar, and noticed most the bottles of liquor were empty, and she started to pout she deserved a drink right this moment, and she was such a loser she is in a bar, and there is not one ounce of booze to be found. She was looking in the cabinets, and drawers, and than she saw a cabinet in the corner. She walked over opening it, and her eyes lite up it was stocked with Jack Daniels Whiskey, and she thought they were empty but they were full. She also saw a couple boxes of crackers she looked at the expiry date they were overdue but not by much she was surprised. She didn't care she was going to die happy she grabbed a box of crackers, and a bottle of Whiskey, and than she walked over to the counter, and grabbed a glass. She sat on the bar stool, and poured herself a glass of whiskey, and opened the crackers as she ate. She took a big gulp of the Whiskey , and started coughing she was not a drinker but this actually made her feel better. She was eating crackers, and now on her third glass of whisky, and feeling like all the pain of the day was draining out of her body. She was a fool if she was attacked now she would crawl up in a ball, and surrender because at the moment she was feeling pretty weird but amazing at the same time. Carol got up, and started to walk over to the table to get something out of her bag. She laughed the room was going around in circles as she went to sit at the table but fell to the ground laughing so hard she couldn't stop. It was like she was losing it, and there was no stopping it. Her stomach felt weird she got up, and ran over to a garbage pail, and got sick. She realize drinking maybe was not a good thing to do but after 20 minutes she got over that thought and was drinking again. She was about to pour herself another glass of whiskey when she heard someone or one of those Walkers trying to get into the Bar. Carol froze but the harder the person tried to push open the door she realized she was in serious trouble.

Carol ran over sitting in front of the table, and was pushing with her back trying to keep the door shut. She shut her eyes, and whispered.

"God give me strength , I don't want to die"

"God Woman open the door it is me what are you doing"?

Carol ran to the window, and looked out, and Daryl walked over , and banged on the window, and yelled.

"Are you going to let me in or do I have to come through the roof"?

Carol ran over pulling the table from the door than she took the lock off, and opened the door. Daryl smiled as he said, "Are you drunk Woman"?

Carol put her hands to her hips trying to be all cool as she said.

"I might have had one or two" Carol turned but she felt dizzy as she fell to her knee's, and Daryl shut the door, and locked it. He put his stuff down, and walked over knelling down as he whispered.

"Are you insane getting drunk when you should be alert what have I told you"?

"I had a bad day so leave me alone"

"Did you drink all the booze"?

"No there is a cupboard of bottles of Whiskey over there"

Daryl ran over, and opened the cupboard, and said,"Oh Merle would be in Heaven Jack Daniels this is good stuff"

Daryl got a bottle, and walked over sitting down beside Carol as he opened it, and was drinking with his mouth , and no glass.

'Daryl there is glasses over there , and you didn't ask if I wanted to share Jack with you"

Daryl smiled as he continued drinking when Carol smacked his arm.

'What is that for "?

"You should ask a lady if she wants a drink"

"What lady"?

Carol got up but Daryl laughed it took her more than four minutes to get up.

"Why did you come looking for me Rick must be mad"?

"Yes he said you were not welcomed back but I don't give a flying crap what he wants Carol"

Carol walked over she must be drunk because she sat on Daryl's lap, and whispered.

"I am drunk, and you can have your way with me, and if I am a disappointment you can leave before I wake up, and I will think this is all a dream"

"I am sleeping with you Carol get off of me" Daryl yelled a little loud making Carol jump

Carol sobered up real quick with his harsh words they hurt so bad it felt like he stabbed her in the heart. She got off of him as she walked over to the table as she sat down feeling so stupid. She was even more angry when she couldn't hold back the tears as she started to cry making Daryl feel so horrible he never meant to hurt her. He just wanted their first time to be special not her drunk, and having her regret anything in the morning. He got up, and walked over, and said.

"Let me explain"

"You said enough I am that revolting I guess Ed was right no man would want me"

Daryl was speechless for a moment but he knew Ed was a fool because Carol was amazing, and she was so wrong he wanted her more than anything right this moment but he was scared to death she would wake up in the morning, and realize she made a mistake that she could never take back.

[Sanda]

Great start to your new story Jessie. I love that Carol got drunk after Rck exiled her from the group after she found a safe place to stay and that Daryl came to her rescue. I am secretly hoping and praying that Carol and Daryl take their relationship to the next level after they both sober up. LOL I hope you update your new Carol and Daryl story again really soon.

Chapter 2

Daryl grabbed a seat, and sat down while Carol got up walking over to the cupboard, and grabbed another bottle of Whiskey, and took off her coat, and sat on it while she opened the bottle, and took a sip.

"Carol stop you will get sick this is so not like me"

"I guess Rick told you I have changed well look at the new me"

"Hope you have a thumping headache tomorrow you would deserve it you fool"

"Thanks for the concern"

"I am here I went looking for you the minute Rick told me what he did. I saw the car you were driving 4 miles up, and I rode my bike, and parked it 1/2 mile because I ran out of gas. I am here what the Hell do you want from me Carol"

"Nothing I don't want nothing from you Daryl"

"Why are you angry with me, I should be angry with you why did you do it"?

"I never should have showed them how to kill I was such a fool"

"What"?

Carol realized she was talking to much because of the alcohol so she put the bottle by the wall, and leaned against the wall, and was silent.

"I asked you a question are you covering for someone"?

"No this is all my fault"

Daryl got up kicking the chair, "God you are stubborn, and I can tell you are lying who are you covering for"?

"I am not covering for anyone"

Daryl walked over , and knelt down glaring at her making her shiver. He could be kind and sweat at times but when he was angry he just had to give that look, and it sent shivers down her spine.

"Carol what are you hiding"?

"You seen what Rick did to me I need to protect the children"

"Oh God is it Lizzie"?

"Daryl stop please"

"Is it Lizzie, Hershel was concerned about her he said she has serious emotional problems. She tried to tame a walker she could have been killed. He said she was playing with blood with her boot, and she is asking so many questions."

"Oh God is she ok"?

"Yes she is fine but if you are covering for her , and she hurts someone else than you are to blame. I hate that you killed Karen and David but I get it if you did. You need to be honest if you did not kill them, and it is Lizzie or someone else you have to come clean with Rick, and the Group"

"Daryl I blame myself she saw me kill her Father when he died, and I showed her how to use the weapons."

"It was Lizzie what about her sister"?

"No but Lizzie didn't act alone, I came in, and it was to late. I had to do something , and I burned the bodies because I didn't want the disease to spread. I couldn't tell Rick because I was protecting Lizzie, and Carl"

Daryl was so shocked he whispered, "Carl"?

"Yes Carl, and Lizzie ended their lives but I am sure they were going to die they were in real bad shape. Carl said Lizzie told him I wanted him to help, I never ever asked her to do it Daryl"

"Rick kicked you out of the Prison, and all the while you were protecting Carl, and Lizzie why didn't you tell him"?

"I promised them I wouldn't they are just kids. Lizzie is messed up Daryl but what if it is my fault"?

"It isn't your fault, and Rick will have to deal with this issue because we are going back to tell him"

"No I promised them I would protect them"

"It will be ok we will get Lizzie help, and Rick will have to face the fact that it was his son the ended Karen and David's life not you"

"Oh God I feel sick"

Daryl moved over beside her wrapping his arm around her as she leaned into his chest.

"You sleep I am here to protect you"

"Daryl" She fell asleep in his arms as he sat there looking at her as she slept. He touched her cheek than he leaned down giving her a kiss on the forehead as he shut his eyes too, and they both fell asleep holding each other.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I knew it all along that Carol didn't kill Karen and David. I also knew it that Carol was covering up for someone. Carol needs to go back and tell Rick the truth with Daryl's help after they both get sober. I love that Carol and Daryl fell asleep in each others arms after they both got drunk. I am kind of hoping and pray that they both have a headache the next morning because it will serve them both right for getting drunk. LOL I hope you update this awesome story again really soon. I LOVE reading and commenting on all of your awesome stories and one shots that you are writing and posting on my awesome message board.

Chapter 3

Daryl woke up , and was shocked Carol was not beside him. He was a fool he shut his eyes, and fell asleep, and now she took off. He jumped up but noticed her sitting at the bar.

"God woman I thought you up, and took off what is wrong with you"?

"I am right here so be quiet I have a headache"

"Good you deserve it after drinking like a man"

Carol started to laugh, "Really is drinking a guy thing Daryl"?

"No but you could have up and got yourself killed how would you defend yourself being all drunk, and stupid"

"Can we not talk, I don't need to be called stupid because I have had enough men in my life call me that"

"Well if you act stupid you deserve it"

"Ok shut up" Carol yelled at Daryl making him stop, and she could see she hurt his feelings but right this minute she didn't care. He was stupid she has loved him for so long, and he either didn't have any feelings other than pity for her or he was to dense, and did not know when a woman was dying for any sign of affection. She would do anything for him God she once offered herself to him, and he turned her down so she was stupid thinking this man this gorgeous sexy man would want a pathetic person like her. She turned , and Daryl was about to go sit back down on the floor but he walked over, and sat beside her.

"I don't get you anymore Carol"

"There is nothing to get Daryl"

"I know you are angry with Rick, I am angry too. I get why he is upset but to ban you from the prison, and abandon you all alone was cruel, and I will never forgive him for it. I just don't understand why you didn't just tell the truth no one would hurt Carl, and Lizzie."

"You may be right but I promised them, and I couldn't let them down"

"So you let the Group down they think you murdered Karen and David"

"I know that Rick made it perfectly clear I was no longer welcome at the Prison. He said no one would care, and I am grateful for you coming out here to look for me. I can't go back Daryl, I can't let Lizzie down she lost her Parents, and if I tell Rick he will blame her, and she will be locked up like a caged animal, and I will not put her through that"

"He would have to lock up Carl too than he wouldn't do that. She needs help so does Carl for that matter but if we do not go back, and tell the others, and they hurt anyone else who is to blame"?

"God Daryl stop this is hard for me, I am scared to death being out here all alone. I don't want to be away from the children, but do you know in that stubborn head of yours how much it hurts knowing I will be away from you"

"I am here , and if you do not go back I will not go back either"

"You will go back the Group needs you the children need you"

"You told me to Shut up while I am going to tell you to shut up now"

"Make me " Carol said, and Daryl did something he wanted to do for months but he was afraid to he grabbed her , and planted a kiss on her lips making her fall into him as she kissed him back.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Daryl and Carol are so cute and adorable together in this story. Daryl is so right, Carol needs to go back to the prison and tell everyone that she isn't responsible for Karen and David's deaths and that Lizzie and Carl killed them. I don't blame Daryl for not wanting to go back to the prison without her. I especially love that carol and Daryl kissed at the end of this chapter. I hope we see Carol on tonight's episode of the Walking so we know that she is ok. I hope you update this awesome Carol and Daryl story you are writing again really soon. I love reading and commenting on all of your awesome stories and one shots you write and post on my message board.

Chapter 4

Daryl lifted her up and she smiled as she whispered, "What are you doing Daryl"?

"Carol I know you are not stupid"

"Daryl put me down please". Daryl held her for a few minutes but she asked him again so he put her down as she walked over, and sat at the table as he stared at her.

"I don't get you Carol you are cold as ice what happened to you"?

Carol was hurt she got up knocking the table over as she screamed.

"Go be with the Group it is obvious I deserve to be alone, I brought this on myself"

"You really are stupid, and I will leave you here, and if a Walker gets you so be it"

Carol got up, "Fine I will leave here, and you never have to see me again". She walked over grabbing her coat but she was shocked when Daryl grabbed her jacket, and threw it across the room. He grabbed her knapsack, and kicked it knocking all the contents out all over the floor.

Carol ran over pushing Daryl screamed, "Why did you come here to hurt me, I hate you". She hit his arm making him stare at her as she was shaking as he said.

"Hate me all you want, I love you fool, and you can hide behind all that anger but I know you Carol. You are dying inside you are angry with Rick but I would never give up on you, I am here"

Carol walked over and wrapped her arms around him as she whispered. "Forgive me Daryl, I have loved you ever since you went looking for my little girl, and you never gave up on her. That day in the Barn, and I told you not to go out to find her because I was a selfish , and I didn't want to lose you too. I knew in my heart she was gone, I prayed I was wrong but I knew I felt it Daryl. I have never had anyone do what you did for me , and Sophia. You did more for her than her own Father."

"I was a fool , I was so angry because I let you down"

"You never let me down Daryl, I blamed myself she was my responsibility"

"You loved that kid don't blame yourself"

"Rick says I have changed, I have changed , and I hate it"

"Look at me we all have changed Rick is a Bean Farmer now he changed the most". Daryl said making Carol smile.

"Rick said he didn't want me near his children if I tell him what Carl did he will be devastated"

"Are you serious what the Hell Carol why are you worried about Rick he left you out here all alone, and he knew you couldn't survive without me"

"You jerk, I made it this far"

"Yeah you were drunk you were doing fine"

"Ok can you give a lady a break"

Daryl smiled as he brought his face to hers, and she whispered.

"Daryl I need you"

"Explain what need means"

Carol smiled as she moved close, and whispered, "Pookie shut up, and kiss me"

Daryl smiled as they brought their lips together in a sweet but passionate kiss"

[Sanda]

Chapter 5

Daryl was feeling so many emotions but he never wanted anything or anyone like he wanted , and needed Carol this minute. He knew she was a lady, and not like some of his old girlfriends they basically wanted sex, and free booze, and he would love, and leave them without a second thought but Carol was different. He wanted to make love to Carol not some meaningless sex, but he was sure he would ruin it because he was not a romantic, and he wanted their first time to be perfect.

"Daryl why did you stop kissing me is something wrong"?

'No I was thinking maybe we should wait until you are sure what you want"

Carol smiled, "I think I have made it clear what I want are you really that dense"?

"I am not stupid I know what dense means so don't be rude Carol"

Carol pulled away, "God I don't get you one minute you are yelling at me, and the next you are kissing me , and now you want to fight. They say woman have mood swings you are the king of mood swings. I don't know what you want, I will be over there when you figure it out". Carol walked away sitting on her coat, she stared at him. Daryl knew she was right he was really acting out of character he normally didn't care what people thought but Carol was different. He finally walked over, and sat beside her, and Carol didn't say a word but Daryl touched her leg as he said.

"I am sorry"

"Me too"

"Carol I don't know how to be with a woman like you"

"Like me are you saying I am not like other women"?

'Not women I was with , and I have been with many"

Carol felt uneasy because she has been with only one man, and she really didn't need to hear about Daryl's girlfriend's."

"Carol you are upset"?

"No but I know I am not beautiful, and I get it you are not attracted to me. I have been a fool thinking maybe you wanted what I wanted but I see now you want a Friend. I feel foolish but I love you Daryl, and if you want only a friendship with me, I will try to be the friend you need"

"You are the dense one, I am dying here woman"

"What"?

Daryl didn't say another word he pulled her close as he brought his lips to hers, and kissed her making her heart race, and she never felt so much excitement.  She never longed to be loved by any man more than Daryl. She felt  special, and beautiful all the things she never felt before this day. She didn't know what her future held but she sure knew as long as she had Daryl she was willing to keep fighting for herself, and for the man she has loved ever since the day he went out looking for her little girl, and proved to her he was one of the best men she ever met. She never really had much in life, and right this moment knowing Daryl did not give up on her made her the happiest woman alive, and she sure was going to show him how much she appreciated everything he ever done for her.

More to come

Chapter 6

She leaned on Daryl looking down at him , he pulled her willing lips to his. She felt his arms go under her shirt, and it startled her a little it has been so long since a man touched her. She longed for this day but part of her was scared but she was so excited she felt like she couldn't catch her breath, and he stopped making her look at him like she did something wrong.

"Daryl don't stop"

"You sure you are ok you are trembling"

Carol smiled as she almost ripped his shirt off. He laid her back as he helped her undress, and than she watched as he undressed , and than he moved down over her showering her with kisses. She looked into his eyes as they became one he was gentle, and he took his time making sure everything they were doing was just what she wanted but it was hard he has not been with anyone in so long, and he knew she was not like the women he has made love with in the past. She was different, and he wanted to make love to her not just have sex with her. He laced his fingers with hers as they moved together both bringing each other over the edge. She trembled in his arms, as they collapsed both exhausted, but they both laid in each others arms both not saying a word but they could hear each other hearts beating they were beating so fast. He finally touched her face, and whispered.

"Was I a fool or what"?

Carol sat up pulling the blanket to her chest,  her heart sank as she let out a cry that shocked Daryl making him sit up, and touch her face.

"Why are you crying"?

"A fool God you are so cruel I swear to God I will never allow another man to touch me as long as I live, you all are cruel. If you are disappointed did you have to tell me right after you made love to me"

"Are you insane I was saying I was a fool for waiting this long to show you what I dreamed about every night. I would fall asleep seeing your face, and I had some pretty amazing dreams , and I would wake up in a sweat, and need a cold shower but half the time we didn't have running water so I was dying inside."

"You were not disappointed"?

"No were you"?

"No, I just thought"

"I know Ed hurt you, and I was a fool not letting you know how I felt. I will never hurt you, and I swear I will never let anyone hurt you again"

"I love you for saying that Daryl, and I trust you , I always have"

Daryl touched her cheek, and pulled her into another kiss, and it wasn't long before they made love again, and after they fell asleep in each others arms.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Carol and Daryl are so cute and adorable together in this awesome story you are writing. I am so happy that Carol and Daryl took their relationship to the next level in your story. Daryl was so cute telling Carol that he was fool after they made love and making Carol want to swear off because she thought he thought that he was a fool for making love to her when in reality he was telling her that they were fools for waiting so long to make love. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon. I love reading and commenting on Walking Dead. I missed not reading and commenting on all of your awesome stories when I was away on my week holiday with my parents earlier this month.
