Nick shot up in pain, Clem was startled. She Sat up in a daze, in a slight whisper she asked him if he was alright. She was concerned he was just shot this morning and it could have been infected or worse. No one was there to help the wound, Nick, Luke, and Clem were all useless in this matter. Clem started to think about everyone they had lost, how they were all dead. She wouldn't face the truth she would just keep telling herself they were safe.
Nick tapped her on the shoulder... Clem are u listening to me. She came back to reality, I'm sorry Nick just thinking back to when this all started. A tear escaped from her eye, she quickly wiped it away trying to be strong. Nick had just lost Pete to a walker bite a few days ago. Nick played with my short curls, its ok Clem I under... He was cut off as Clem burst into tears. Nick picked her up and laid her in his lap even though his gut disagreed. Clem wrapped her arms around him neck as she soaked his shirt in tears. Clem its okay to cry, he ran his fingers threw her hair once again. Clem embraced Nick in a tight hug forgetting he had been shot. A small whimper escaped Nicks mouth. She immediately let go, I'm sorry Nick I didn't mean to hurt you. She paused hesitating to tell the much older boy she cared for him, she loved him as if they were brother and sister. She though for a moment before confessing how much he meant to her. Nick gave a small but perfect smile and she snuggled her head in his neck and slowly drifted off to sleep.
(next day)
Clem and Nick were snuggled up like always with there arms around each other. Clem woke up to a groaning Nick who was most likely dreaming. She fell back asleep and started to dream about her past. Little tears fell from her face and Nick grasped her in a tight hug so that her head was on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat, the soft beats where peaceful, it left her sleeping.
Luke walked upstairs and knocked on the door. No one denied the request on so he let himself in, he was happy he did. Nick and Clem were snuggled up. He walked up to Clem and shook her, and like always she didn't do anything then cuddle up closer to Nick. Luke wasn't having it so he just told both Clem and Nick to get the hell up if they wanted to eat. They trudged out of bed and had pissed looks on there face, they weren't so excited about the rude awakening. Luke looked towards thebathroom door signaling Clem in the nicest possible way. In anger she obeyed, walked into the bathroom, and slammed the door. Clem was in front of the mirror looking at her tired face, made two pigtails as always, stuck on her hat, and walked downstairs. Clem stood in front of Luke. Where are we going anyway... hunting, you would like to eat tonight right? Clem looked at him with hate in her eyes she didn't know why, she ignored it and grabbed her shot gun.
