Another day in this hellhole. Everyone in Alexandria knows your husband abuses you, but no one says anything because his job here is far too important. You feel left alone by your "friends."

Every day brings another tirade from your husband and another day where you sit crying in the bathroom. Today was no different.

You didn't make the meal he wanted and your excuse that Olivia didn't have it in stock bounced off him like a rubber wall. When he raised his hand again, a knock on your door interrupted him.

He pushed you away with a warning look that screamed 'One word and you'll regret it.'

He opened the door and Daryl was standing there. You didn't know Daryl very well he was mostly outside of Alexandria, but when he was there, you felt safe in his presence.

His gaze immediately landed on you, even though you didn't say anything and didn't let on, your eyes spoke volumes.

Without hesitation, Daryl punched your husband right in the face. Your husband, who was caught completely off guard, immediately held his nose. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" He screamed, being aggressive in a second... just as you knew him to be.

Daryl completely ignored the outburst, grabbed your hand, and pulled you out of the house. When your husband tried to intervene, his crossbow was already aimed at him. "You take one step, an’ I’ll do what the rest of ’em ain’t got the balls t’ do" As he said this, he held you behind him as if he were your shield.

"I don’t give a damn who you are. Touch {{user}} again, or look at her wrong, and I’ll gut you where you stand."
