Hey guys I'm back!

So I want to give you guys a heads up before each chapter I'll say weather it's before, after, or during the events of "Letting Her Go". That way theres no confusion. Anyway this is the chapter of how it all started.

Before

It's been two years since the Apocalypse has been over and two years since Clem, Luke, Sarah, and Rebecca have moved into their new house in Northern Georgia. Clem was 13 and Sarah was now 16.

It was around eleven thirty on a Saturday. Not much was going on. Clem and Sarah where seated on the porch talking while Luke was doing some work in the front yard.

"So are we still meeting up with the girls later today?" Clem asked Sarah.

"Yeah, I texted Rachel and she said to meet them their around three." Sarah said as she checked her phone.

Just then they heard the door open and Rebecca came out holding a tray with glasses of lemonade on it. "Hey, you girls want a drink?" She asked.
"Sure." Clem replied.

"Luke! Want something to drink?" Rebecca called to him.

Luke got up from the ground and dusted his jeans off. He walked over and took the glass from Rebecca. "Thanks Becc." He said as he took a drink. "I needed that." He took a seat next to the girls on the step of the porch.

They sat their for a few minutes just enjoying the sunshine. That was until there was the sound of an engine. Clem looked down the road to see what appeared to be a white pickup truck with a bunch of furniture and items packed into it. The truck past by the house and continued down the road causing dust to fly up from the road.

"What the hell?" Luke said in surprise.

"Who do you think that was?" Asked Sarah.

"I'm not sure." Replied Rebecca. "But I'd have to say it looks like we have some new neighbors."

Not many people come out this far to a little town in the middle of no where unless they where lost or moving here. In a little town like this everyone pretty much knew everyone, so seeing a new car was definitely strange.

Luke looked back down the road. The truck had stopped a couple blocks away in front of a house that no one was currently living in. "Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to go say hello. What do ya say you guys wanna go see who it is?"

Clem stood up and stretched. "Yeah, sure. It beats sitting around doing nothing."

"I'll get the keys to the truck then." Luke followed Rebecca back into the house.

Just then Rachel came out of her house and across the street to talk to Sarah and Clem. "Hey did you guys just see that truck go by?"

"Yeah it just passed by a few minutes ago." Clem pointed behind her back motioning to the truck. "We think someone new is moving in."

Then Sarah cut in. "We were about to go down there and see who's moving in. Want to come too?"

"Sounds good." Rachel replied. "I'll text the rest of the girls and have them meet us down their to. This is so exciting!" She yelled happily.

Clem rolled her eyes at Rachel's outburst. "I doubt it. What's so exciting about someone new moving in?"

"Don't you want to go see who it is?" Sarah asked.

"I guess." Clem replied, not really seeing the fun in all this.

Rachel gave her a smile. "Come on It'll be fun."

Clem didn't know it yet, but she was about to see how wrong she really was.

They had all climbed into Luke's truck and drove down to the house that the new people where moving into. Luke parked across the street and got out. Clem hopped out and shut the door behind her followed by Sarah, Rebecca, and Rachel. Luke walked across the street. He couldn't see anyone, but there was a noise coming from behind the truck that was parked in the drive way. It sounded like someone talking. Luke continued to walk around the truck until he saw a woman standing there unloading something. She was about Rebecca's height with long blond hair and hazel eyes.

"Um hello." He tried to say as calmly as possible not wanting to frighten the woman.

She jumped in surprise, dropping the box she had in her hand.

Luckily Luke caught it before it hit the ground. "Whoa sorry their, didn't mean to scare you." He set the box down on the ground and offered his hand out to her. "I'm Luke. Me and my friends just came to say hello." Just then Rebecca walked up with the girls. "We saw you pass by not to long ago. We live in that first house a couple blocks from here."

She shook his hand. "O that's right I saw you in front of your house when we drove by. My names Kelly."

"I'ts a pleasure to meet you." Rebecca said as she shook hands with her. "My names Rebecca. And these are the girls."

"Hi my names Sarah." She said with a smile.
"And I'm Clementine."

"And my names Rachel." She introduced herself. "I live in the house across the street from them."

"Well it's nice to meet you all." Kelly said. So what can I do for all of you?"

"Actually," Luke started. "We saw that you where moving in and where wondering if you needed help unpacking?"
"That sure is kind of you, but are you sure?"

"Of course. In a town like this theres always someone whos willing to help out. Everyone here is supper friendly." Replied Luke.

"We'ed love to help out." Said Rebecca.

"Hey Rachel!" A voice shouted. Everyone turned to see Wendy, Abigail, and Skylar walking up.

"Hey girls!" Rachel greeted. "This is Kelley she's the new person moving in."

"Well hi there." Sky greeted. " I'm Skylar, but everyone calls me Sky."

"And I'm Abigail and this is Wendy." Abigail introduced both of them.
"Sup." Wendy nodded.

"We where told someone new was moving in so we came to help out as well." Sky explained.

"Yeah, sure beats picking up after my dad at home." Wendy said. Remembering how her dad was always breaking stuff by mistake.

"I can't believe how nice everyone is. Well then let's get to it. We can start by unloading everything from the truck and setting it aside on the lawn." Kelly explained. "I'll worry about moving all of it in the house later." She started to untie a piece of furniture from the bed of the truck.

"Sounds like a plan!" Luke started by picking up the box that Kelly had dropped earlier and put it by the front door.

Soon everyone was carrying boxes and pieces of furniture and setting them on the front lawn, being careful not to break anything.

Pretty soon Sarah struck up a conversation with Clementine. "So what do you think of Kelly? I like her I think she's nice."

"She's alright." Clem shrugged as she picked up another box and carried it over to the door. "I like her."

"Man it seems like we've been doing this for hours." Wendy stated, helping Sky move an old nightstand. "How much stuff can one person have?"

"Wendy!" Rachel snapped.

"What?! I'm just saying." Wendy stated clearly not caring. Sky giggled at Rachel's failed attempt at calling out Wendy.

"That reminds me," Rebecca started. "I've been meaning to ask if it's just you that's moving in? This is a lot for one person."

"Oh I almost forgot." Kelly Said." Actually it's me and my fifteen year old son Tommy."

"So where is this son of yours." Luke playfully teased. "I think he'd like ta meet us to."

"He's been inside unpacking and putting things away. I'll get him." Kelly walked to the front door and called in. "Tommy come on out there's some people I'd like you to meet!"
"Coming mom!"

Soon a boy a little taller than Sarah came out. He had light brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a white t-shirt and a pair of faded blue jeans. "Tommy this is Luke and Rebecca." Kelly introduced them. "Their are new neighbors."

"Hey there!" He greeted and shook hands with both of them.

"Hey Tommy." Luke greeted. "The girls should be around here somewhere. I'm sure they'ed want to meet you to."

"Sure I'll go say hi." And with that he walked away to go find them.

The girls had taken a break and went over by the road to talk away from everyone else. Soon enough Tommy had spotted them and walked up.

Sarah had been talking about their plans to go get their nails done when Sky spoke up. "Who's that?" Everyone looked up.

"Um h-hey there." He spoke nervously, not sure how to start the conversation. "My names Tommy. I just moved in with my mom a-and I was told that you guys might want to meet me."

"Well hi." Sky spoke. "I'm Sky and this is Abigail, Rachel, Wendy and Sarah." She gestured to each person.

"And who are you?" He asked to the last person standing there.

Clem felt her face heat up. "I-I-um," Clem was at a loss for words. The moment she had laid eyes on him she had frozen in place. One look at him and she was in love. She could hardly keep from stumbling over her words. "Clem-Clementine. My names Clementine." She managed to get out.

Tommy smiled. "Well it's nice to meet you Clementine. I'm glad all of you could come and help." He turned back to everyone. "Sorry I wasn't out here earlier. I was inside putting stuff away." He gestured behind him to the house.

"Hey don't sweat it man." Wendy spoke up.

"Where happy to help." Said Sarah

"Well I better get back to work if I want to finish before tonight." He said. He turned back to Clementine. "So maybe I'll see you around sometime." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Y-yeah maybe." Clem spoke shyly.

He smiled at her and preceded to walk away. Clem sighed contently as a smile worked it's way onto her face. She didn't even notice all the girls looking at her.

"So what was that all about?" Abigail said in a teasing manner, clearly knowing what was going on.

"W-what?" Clem stammered as she was pulled back into reality. Her smile disappearing.
"Come on you know what I mean."

"I-I have no idea what your talking about." She lied.

Rachel cut in. "You like him don't you!"

Clem felt her self blush. "N-no I d-on't."

"Aww Clem!" Sarah got all excited. "You have a crush on him!"

"What! No I..." She tried to convince them, but it clearly wasn't working.

"That's so cute!" Sky giggled.

"Someone's in lovvvve!" Abigail teased.

"Yo Clem. You totaly gotta ask him out." Wendy said.

"Are you crazy!" Clem shouted. "I can't do that."

"Why not?" Asked Sarah.

"B-because I can't. And I don't have a crush on him ok." She tried to convince them. "I'm gonna go back to work."

"What ever you say Clem." Rachel Said back. All the girls knew good and well that Clem had a crush on Tommy.

Once Clem was out of hear shot she sighed to herself again and smiled. Even though she'd never admit it to the girls, she knew she was in love.

Later that night Sarah and Clem where getting ready to go to bed. Clem walked in to their bed room to find Sarah talking on the phone with Rachel. She shut the door behind her.

"Hold on she just walked in now!" She turned it on speaker. "Hey Clem it's Rachel."

"Hey girl what's up?" Came Rachel's voice.

Clem walked over to her bed. "Hey Rachel." She greeted.

"So you gonna ask him out or what?" She asked.

Clem blushed hard. "Would you guys stop already. I- I don't like him." She folded her arms."So what if he's cute." As soon as those words left her mouth she regretted it. "Wait, that's not what I meant to say."

Sarah laughed. "O my gosh, you do think he's cute."

Rachel cried out. "That's so sweet."

Clem was really embarrassed now. "Goodbye Rachel." She said in a an annoyed voice. Before Sarah hung up. She heard Rachel say. "I gotta text this to the girls." Then the call ended.

Clem laid down on her bed and turned off the lamp that was lighting up their room, hoping to not have to answer anymore questions. Before she could fall asleep she heard Sarah say. "So are you going to ask him out?" "Dammit." she inwardly swore. "Shut up Sarah." She said out loud.

Sarah snickered to herself. "Clem's got a crush! Clem's got a crush!"

"Ow!" Clem had thrown a pillow at Sarah. She smirked. She had a crush alright.
