NEW FIC! It is finished, but it was so long I decided to split it into chapters.

Clementine has a crush on Nick and Sarah decides to give her some advise. Also Clem's 11 so the crushing is a one-sided thing.

ENJOY.


Rebecca was sitting on the couch, rubbing over her belly as she hummed quietly to herself.

Clementine slowly inched into the room, tapping the pregnant woman on the shoulder. Rebecca gave a small jump before turning around to face the girl. "Oh." She smiled. "How are you doing, Clem?"

"I'm okay..." Clementine returned the smile. She rubbed the back of her neck nervously.

"You feeling alright, hon?" Rebecca asked, noticing the girl's nervous behavior.

"Yes." Clementine nodded. "Uh, Rebecca,"

"Yeah, Clem?"

"Do...Do you know how to spell "Nick"?" Clementine asked.

"Nick?" Rebecca questioned.

The girl nodded, face becoming pink as she hid her gaze from the woman.

"N-i-c-k." Rebecca answered. "Why?"

"No reason." Clementine shook her head. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Clem." Rebecca responded, although she was still confused about why the girl asked.

"N-i-c-k..." Clementine kept repeating as she made her way out of the room.

Rebecca smiled as she made a realization: Clementine had a crush.


"Hey, Clem? Clem? Clementine, what are you doing?"

Clementine gave a jump. Looking up over to her friend. "W-What? Oh. Sarah, when did you get here?" She asked.

"Umm...I've been here for the pass five minutes." Sarah answered. "I was going to ask you if you wanted to play go fish." She held up the cards, showing them to the girl. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Nothing..." Clementine let out a sigh.

"Were you daydreaming?" Sarah questioned.

"No!" Clementine denied.

"It sounds less believable when you deny it so...strongly." Sarah said.

Clementine shrugged. "I wasn't."

"Okay...What were you writing?" Sarah asked.

"N-Nothing important." Clementine covered the paper with her hands.

"Let me see!" Sarah begged. "Please?"

"No." Clementine refused, keeping the paper covered.

"Come on..." Sarah pouted. "I thought we were friends."

"Well..." She thought for a few moments before giving in. "Okay." Clementine hesitantly moved her hand, fighting the urge to cover the paper again as Sarah leaned over her shoulder.

"It just says "Nick"." Sarah read, looking confused.

"Shh..." Clementine hushed.

"All you wrote is "Nick"." Sarah said again, unsure why she did that.

"I know. Shush, Sarah." Clementine begged.

"Why? What's so secretive about-" She cut herself off, eyes widening. "Oh..."

"What?" Clementine asked.

"You like Nick!" Sarah exclaimed, giddily.

"I do not!" Clementine quickly crumpled the paper up and tossed it to the side.

"Then why did you write his name so many times?" She asked.

"Write whose name?"

Clementine quickly whipped around at the sound of the voice. "N-Nick!"

"Yeah?"

"W-What are you doing here?" Clementine stuttered.

"Uh...I live here..." Nick joked before asking, "What were you two talkin 'bout?"

Sarah grinned. "We were just talking about-"

"Playing go fish!" Clementine cut in.

"Oh...Yeah. Wanna play?" Sarah asked with a smile.

Clem shoot the other girl a glare.

"Nah." Nick declined.

Clementine let out a sigh of relief, but Nick spoke again. "How about we play a different game?"

"Sure!" Sarah beamed, while Clementine bit back a groan.

"Actually...I'm a little tired." Clementine said. "I should probably get to bed soon."

"It's daylight." Nick pointed out.

Damn.

"I, uh...I have something to do..." Clementine said, inching towards the door.

Noticing the girl trying to make a break for it, Sarah grabbed her arm, preventing her from leaving. "Please, Clem," Sarah sent her puppy dog eyes. "Just play one game."

"...Fine." Clementine sighed.

"So what are we playing?" Sarah asked, enthusiastically

"You girls know how to play 'bullshit'?" Nick asked.

Sarah gasped causing Clementine to roll her eyes.

"No..." Clementine answered.

"Okay." Nick smirked. "Here's how you play..."


"Four sevens." Sarah said with a smile as she put down her cards.

"No way!" Nick exclaimed. "I'm calling on you, Sarah."

"Do it then." Sarah urged.

"Bullshit!" Nick called.

With a smile, Sarah flipped over the cards she had just laid down.

"No! That wasn't fair." Nick complained.

Sarah giggled. "Shouldn't of called it, Nick."

"Pick up those cards!" Clementine laugh, clapping her hands as Nick groaned.

"Your turn, Nick." Sarah said.

"Okay. Three eights..." Nick muttered, placing his cards down.

"Bullshit!" Clementine cried.

"Excuse me?!" A loud voice interrupted.

Looking over to an angry Carlos, Clementine tried to explain herself. "I...I was just-"

"No." Carlos cut in, "I don't care what you were doing!"

"Dad, we were-" Sarah tried to help, but Carlos once again spoke before she could finish.

"I don't want to hear any excuses."

"Hey, we were just playing a game." Nick now tried to calm the situation.

"Just because she's upset doesn't give her the right to swear." Carlos shook his head. "I don't care if she was losing or-"

"No. The game is called 'bullshit'." Nick explained.

"Really?" Carlos asked in disbelief. Leave it to Nick to play such a game with children.

"Yeah." Nick nodded. "It's my fault. I asked them to play it with me."

With a sigh Carlos replied, "Just don't let it happen again."

"Don't worry. It won't." Nick assured.

Clementine felt a strange feeling in her chest. Nick was sticking up for her. He was saving her from the Carlos's wrath. 'My hero.' She thought.


"Clem!" Sarah yelled.

"Hm?!" Startled, Clem gave a small jump as she was pulled out of her thoughts. She turned to face the older girl. "What?"

"Are you okay?" Sarah asked. "Your face is really red..."

"I...I'm fine." She looked around the room. "Where's Nick?"

"He had to use the bathroom." Sarah answered before cocking an eyebrow. "Why do you keep zoning out today?"

"I'm not..."

"You were." Sarah said. "Were you daydreaming again?" She asked.

"I was never daydreaming!" Clementine cried, crossing her arms.

"So you weren't thinking about your "boyfriend"?" She asked.

"He's not my boyfriend! I don't even like him that way." Clementine huffed.

"Like who?" Luke asked coming into the room.

"Hey, Luke!" Sarah greeted.

"Hey." Luke smiled, sitting next to the girls. "So what's this about a boyfriend?"

"Clem, has a crush." Sarah said.

Clementine's eyes widened before she shot Sarah an annoyed look. "I do not!"

"Really? On who?" Luke asked ignoring the eleven year old.

"I don't have any crush." Clementine repeated.

"Your cheeks are red." Luke pointed out.

"Are not." Clementine said.

"Are too." Luke laughed.

"Are not!" Clementine snapped.

"Are too!" Luke said again.

"Are noooot!" Clementine whined.

"Are tooooooo." Luke mimicked, laughing again.

"Luke, she doesn't want everyone to know." Sarah said.

"I won't tell anyone?" Luke said with a nod. "Who is he anyway?"

Sarah glanced over to the door, making sure Nick wasn't there. "It's-"

"Stop it!" Clementine said. "I don't even like him."

"You guys still wanna play?"

"Ah..." Clementine suddenly felt like her face was on fire. She hoped he didn't hear that?

"You okay?" Nick asked, cocking a brow.

"I'm fine!" She squeaked.

"So are we still playing?" Nick asked again.

"What are you playing?" Luke asked.

"'Bullshit'." Nick replied. "Wanna play?"

"Actually, Clem and I have something to do." Sarah said.

"We do?" Clementine asked.

"Yeah. We have to do that thing, remember?" Sarah said.

"What thing?" Clementine questioned.

"You know." Sarah grabbed her hand. "That thing."

Clementine, realizing what she was doing played along. "Oh right. That thing."

Sarah began tugging her out of the room. "Come on, Clem. Let's go."

Luke and Nick watched the two girls leave before Luke turned to face the other man. "Wanna play 'go fish'?" He asked causing Nick to groan.


"Sarah what are you doing?" Clementine asked.

"Sit down, Clem." Sarah ordered.

Confused as she was, Clementine did what she was told.

"Now, I'm going to ask you a serious question." Sarah said.

Clementine nodded. "Okay..."

"Do you like Nick?" Sarah asked her.

Clementine's cheeks were suddenly flushed again as she spoke. "Ew! N-No way!"

Raising an eyebrow Sarah asked, "Are you lying?"

"No...W-Why would I l-like Nick?" Clementine stammered.

"I don't know. Why would you like Nick?" Sarah smiled.

"I don't." Clementine said.

"But, your face gets really red when I say his name." Sarah teased.

"Does not."

"It does." Sarah giggled.

"I'm just...I got sunburn."

"If that's it, my dad can check it out for you." Sarah suggested.

"No thanks..." Clementine quickly shook her head. "I'm okay."

"So you don't like Nick?" Sarah asked.

"N-Nope." Clementine said.

"Who do you like?" Sarah asked.

"Nobody!" Clementine groaned.

"Oh..." Sarah mumbled. "I guess I was wrong."

"Yeah, I guess so.." Clementine agreed.

"That's too bad..." Sarah shrugged, faking a sad look.

"What?"

"I was going to help you, but I guess you don't need any help." Sarah said, standing up.

"Wait...Sarah." Clementine called before the girl could walk away.

"Yes?" Sarah turned back to her.

"If...If someone d-did l-like someone else, how would they s-stop liking them?" Clementine asked.

"Hmmm...I don't know." Sarah replied. She didn't even know if that was possible. "Maybe you just like them forever."

"Is that why people get married?" Clementine asked.

"Probably." Sarah shrugged.

"Oh no..." Clementine muttered.

"What's wrong?" Sarah questioned.

"Sarah..." Clementine called.

"Yes?"

"Are you sure you can help me?" Clementine asked, sounding desperate.

Sarah smiled. "I'll do my best."

"Alright...Don't tell anyone, okay?"

"I won't." Sarah agreed.

"Promise?" Clementine asked.

"Pinky promise." Sarah said.

The two girls locked pinkies.

"Now, just answer this question."

"O-Okay..." Clementine nodded.

"Do you like Nick?" Sarah questioned again.

"..." Silence.

"Clem?" Sarah called.

Clementine hesitated for a moment before whispering a soft, "...Y-Yes."


"You fucking suck, Luke." Nick said.

"Rematch." Luke said back.

"No fucking way." Nick shook his head.

"C'moooon!" Luke whined.

"I beat you three times!" Nick shook his head. "I'm done." Putting the cards away Nick felt something underneath his foot. Looking down, he picked up a piece of paper. Uncrumpling it his eyes widened at the sight. "The fuck?"

"What is it?" Luke asked coming over.

"Why was someone writing my name so damn much?" Nick questioned as Luke glanced over his shoulder at the drawing.

"Aww...They drew hearts." Luke chuckled

"Who do you think it was?" Nick asked, clearly not amused.

Luke shrugged. "Beats me." He then smiled a little, "Reminds me of those 'do you like me' notes from elementary school."

"Don't talk about those." He looked at the note again. "Really, who the hell."

"It wasn't me, if that what your thinking." Luke joked.

Nick glared at him. "I'd be worried if it was."

"What are you boys going on about?" Rebecca asked, walking into the room.

"This?" He showed her the paper.

Rebecca took it and tease, "Aww...Did you make that?"

"No way." Nick snapped.

"I wouldn't worry about it." Rebecca said, smiling.

"Yeah. It's just someone crushing on you, Nick." Luke grinned as well.

"It'd be great to know who though." Nick sighed.

Rebecca smiled. "Sounds like you got a secret admirer."

And she was pretty sure she knew who it was.
