Diana looked at Dr. Logan with tear filled eyes. Her arms were folded and her husband, Ed, was rubbing her back in an attempt to comfort her. Dr. Logan looked at the two, wondering how many more times he was going to see them like this.

"So let's review what you told me last time," Logan said while pulling out Clementine's medical file, "This all started about three years ago after Clementine's uncle, Diana's brother, had murdered the man, right in front of her, who was having an affair with his wife and on his way to prison was involved in a fatal car accident and passed away, correct?"

Diana nodded, the first of her tears slipping from her eyes, "Clementine adored Lee. She swore upon all that was holy that he couldn't possibly have killed that man, even though she had seen it with her own two eyes. Then when Lee died she refused to believe it. We let her sink into denial and- oh god..."

Diana burst into sobs and Ed embraced her into his arms. Ed looked at the doctor and continued, "We figured that if we gave her time then she'd learn to get over it. Then this world of hers entered the picture. She told us that Lee came by while we were in Savannah."

"Savannah?" Dr. Logan interrupted, "Where'd she get that from."

"We go there on vacation sometimes," Diana choked out through her sobs, "We haven't gone since this started. She kept telling us about how Lee was protecting her from the monsters. And we allowed her to, thinking that she would learn to accept it."

"Last time I asked her she told me that Lee had died, and that it had been her fault," Logan told them, "You see, she this zombie apocalypse world she's created has grown."

"Grown?" Diana asked concern laced in her whimpers, "What has she told you?! She hasn't said anything me or Ed!"

Logan rested his elbows on his desk, "When I started my visits with her she told me that Lee was taking care of her when the outbreak began. She said that you guys were on vacation. She mentioned a lot of people. Know anyone named Christa? Or Duck?"

"Christa was the therapist we sent her to," Ed explained, "Duck was her childhood friend. Lives across the street from us."

"Really?" Logan said as he wrote notes down, "Well, Duck had been bitten by one of these zombies, or walkers if you ask her, and had to be put down by a man named Kenny."

"Kenny is Ducks dad," Diana said, "They've been having family problems. Katjaa comes to me often about it."

Logan wrote that down as well, "Continuing on, she has created a story. Lee had taken care of her through multiple problems, protecting her from cannibals, bandits, and walkers. Eventually, she had a mental breakdown. When I asked her why she told me it was because Lee had died. He had been bitten while trying to find her when she ran off with a stranger who had led her to believe he knew where you guys were. After Lee had rescued her, she had seen the two of you as walkers. After a bit, she had to shoot Lee in order to prevent him from turning."

"What does all that mean?!" Diana cried, "Why cant she just come back to me?!"

Logan looked at the woman with sympathy, "The stranger could be symbolic for her issue, for the reason this all started. The stranger had kidnapped her, like how the mental illness just suddenly came. You guys not being there for her when she needed you could resemble her feeling neglected and perhaps also for bringing her here. She hates it here. And her shooting Lee like that was probably her accepting the fact he had died and her head trying to get rid of the problem."

Ed rubbed his face, close to tears himself, "Where is she in this little world of hers now?"

"She cant really communicate about it now," Logan told them, "She acts it. When she's scared, that means something scary happened in this world. And she blames herself for everything so much to the point to where she's began to abuse herself. I've seen her hit herself, but she said that it had been Carver."

"Carver?" Diana asked, another tear falling down her cheek, "I don't know a Carver."

"Neither do I," Ed agreed.

"Carver could resemble all problems around her rolled into one," Logan explained, "You said Kenny was having family problems, right?"

Diana nodded, "Yes. Kenny and Katjaa were fighting a lot, so Kenny had an affair with this woman he works with. Girl named Sarita. While she was still home, Duck would look to her comfort."

Logan wrote that down, "Well, this Carver just beat Kenny to the point to where he lost his eye. That's what she said last time I had seen her. Which was just a couple days ago."

"Oh god," Diana muttered, hiding her face in her hands.

"One more thing," Logan said, "Whenever we speak she calls me Luke, any idea's?"

"Luke?" Ed asked before continuing, "Yeah, Luke's our neighbor. Whenever Sandra couldn't babysit her, we sent her over there. Luke was rather fond of her and her of him, when her problems started showing, he was very concerned about her."

"Luke, huh?" Logan asked, "Mind if we bring him in here sometime?"

"I'll ask him about it," Ed said, sadness coated in his voice.

"Thank you," Logan stood up and opened the door, "would you like to see her?"

They both nodded and so the doctor led them down the hall. They had seen their daughter here before, although sometimes they weren't allowed to. It has been about three weeks since they had seen Clementine last. Logan led them all the way to the end of the hall, Clem got her own separate room, she didn't like being around others very much. He unlocked the door and followed the two in.

Clementine was sitting in the far right corner, hugging her knee close to her chest and quietly murmuribg words under her breath. Bags hung heavily under her golden eyes and her curly hair messed up and all over the place. She was dressed in white clothes, seeing how the color white seemed to calm her down. A white tshirt, a light grey jacket, and some light grey sweatpants. Her feet were bare.

"Clementine," Logan spoke softly when approaching her. He kneeled down so he could see her better.

Slowly, her eyes moved to the doctor. She lifted her head slightly, "Luke?"

"No Clem, it's me. I'm Dr. Logan. Don't you remember?" No answer came form the little one. She simply kept looking around, as if she were seeing something completely different then the other three people in the room with her. Dr. Logan knitted his eyebrows and continued, "Are you okay?"

She looked up at him, eyes meeting each other and hurt was not missed in her voice, "No."

Logan felt horrible for the poor girl, "Guess you are a bit on edge."

"Jane left," she said sadly, ignoring what he had said, "For good."

Dians turned her head to the doctor, who had turned his body to shrug. He looked back at Clem, "Hey, your parents are here. They want to talk to you."

Clementine looked at her parents, no emotion noticeable on her face. Diana forced a smile and inched closer to her daughter, "Hey Clem, it's me."

still, the eleven year old said nothing. Diana kneeled down to her height as Dr. Logan stood up and stood by Ed. Diana's heart felt heavy as she looked at her little girl who had witnesses so much. The woman lighten her hand and slowly reached out toward her.

"I know these past couple years have been hard for you, and bringing you here seems bad, but you need it. Time away from you has been just as hard and I've been aching to talk to you," Diana's shakeup hand still kept getting closer and closer to Clementine, "So, if you'd let me, can I just..."

Dianas hand had been so close to clementines forehead. Just another inch and the closest thing the mother could've gotten from her daughter from the past few years would have occurred. But Clementine freaked out, backing further to the wall she was already so close to and pressing her fingers to her ears.

"NO!" she yelled, a tear falling out of her eye, "STOP! NO NO NO NONO, NO!"

Diana (who was now crying again) tried to step forward and apologize, but ed put his hands on her shoulders to stop her. Logan opened the door and held it open, "I think it's best if you leave, when she's line this it's better to not be around her."

the two tearfully obeyed. Ed sighed and rubbed a hand over his face as Diaba held her hands over her mouth and had tears streaming down her cheeks.

"We love you, Clementine. We love you."
