Clementine sat down, her feet hanging off the edge of the cliff. She sighed quietly. No hope, no rest. I keep taking a beating, every day. Clementine frowned at herself. I'm starting to sound like how Kenny used to sound. She thought quietly. Somehow her gaze went into the snowy field below. She shuddered remembering, and feeling, just like she had after she'd shot Lee, all those years ago.

"Lee, are you there? Do you hear me?" She asked outloud. She could almost picture him saying 'I'm here, sweetpea'. "What about you, Luke?" She questioned.

However, she couldn't picture his voice. She didn't know quite why, considering that she'd known Luke more recently than Lee. Maybe it was his accent. It was hard to imitate because of how well it suited him. She'd found herself getting 'Lost in thought, not the best habit now a days.' as Jane would say… about Luke. She really missed him, she missed Lee too, but… this was a new type of 'miss' for her that she didn't really understand that much. Maybe it was because she blamed herself for Lee's death and not Luke's. His "Death", just like how I get straight "A's"... yeah, no. She didn't blame herself for Luke's death, she blamed Bonnie. She remembered the whole scene quite vividly.

"Clem! Listen, take out your gun, and shoot them damn walkers, okay? Just give me a little time."

"Clem, just go back for him! You're… light!"

I pull out my gun and start shooting at the walkers that are coming to feast on him and then-

"Keep 'em off us, Clem!" Dammit, Bonnie! What're you doing?! Bonnie reaches out her hand and he reaches out for hers and then- SPLASH! Luke was going, going, gone. I try to break the ice with my gun, seeing Luke bang on it.

"There's nothing more that you can do!" Jane tries to persuade me to stop and then- CRASH! I'm in the water too. I flip out until I'm facing one of the worst things I've had to go through. Luke's drowned body, floating in the water. I think things over before actions and try to reach out when- SPLASH! I'm above the surface again.

"Dammit! She's gonna fucking freeze to death!" Jane says and begins carrying me away from the ice. The only, and worst thing I think... "I'd come back for you."…"Thank you, Clem. I'd do the same."

Clementine feels tears rim around her eyes but forcefully blinks them back. I'm not crying about this. I WON'T cry about this. Dammit! She feels a tear roll down her cheek and wipes it away quickly.

"No, Clem. You have to be strong." She reminds herself and stands up. Her foot quickly slips though and thud! It's the bridge scene all over again.

SHIT! Her head hits the ground but by instinct, her hands grab the edge of the cliff, she's now dangling from the cliff, a five-hundred foot drop below her.

Clementine's POV:

My heart is racing and my arms are getting tired. Don't let go, Clem. DON'T LET GO! Luke and Lee, and the others would want you to survive! I feel my hand slip a little from the snowy covered grass, DAMN ICE! YOU'VE NEVER LIKED ME! This is it. This is how I die, in a shitty way just like Sarah, and Nick. Chuck, Ben, Christa… And as if Lee is there, and is a guardian angel that's protecting me… I feel a strong arm grab my hand and pull me up.

"Oof!" My head is throbbing as I land with a thud back on the top of the cliff. All I can see is a pair of shoes, and the snow and ice that's burning from coldness against my chin. The same snow and ice that almost got me killed.

"Y- You okay?" a voice asks Am I actually hearing this? I wonder as an all too familiar voice fills in around me. It's panting, but I can still tell who… or who I THINK it is.

"Y- yeah… Luke?" I ask as I sit up. The guy, a very specific guy I might add, finally looks up at me.

"Huh? How do you-" Luke seems almost as excited, like screaming-inside excited as I am.

"C- Clementine?" He asked, he is jaw dropped! This should be fun.

"How did you… where did you… WHAT?!" I'm so confused I think my mind is playing tricks on me.

"I- I don't… hold up! You're the same Clementine I think you are, like 'Pull out your gun, and shoot them damn walkers!' Clementine, right?" Luke asked.

"I- I think, yes… and you're the same 'I just totally drowned' Luke?" I ask

"I, d- didn't drown but… yeah… I-" I cut him off as I force a hug on him. My arms are wrapped around his neck as I bury my head into his shoulder.

"Clem?" He asks and places his hands on my back, finally accepting the hug.

"Do you know how long I've worried about you, you asshole?!" I ask angrily. I'm not actually angry though, I'm fighting back even more tears.

3rd POV:

"You? Stitch up your own arm, Clementine, were worried? About lil' ol' me?" Luke joked.

Clementine stayed silent, but nodded her head yes as she dug her head deeper into his shoulder and dug her nails into his back.

"Ah! Shit!"

"What?" Clementine asked, her voice was muffled. Luke winced slightly.

"Nothing… just… you've got a really strong grip." Luke said and clenched his teeth.

"Sorry I just, I really missed you." Clementine said while she loosened her grip.

Luke felt a warm fuzzy feeling fill inside him. "You missed me?" He asks quietly.

"Yes! Do you know how many nightmares I've had about you?!" Clementine replies while breaking away from him.

"You had… nightmares? About me drowning?" Luke frowned. Had he really worried her that much?

"YES! Do you know how traumatizing it is to see your crush drown in front of you? 'Cause it's really fucking scary!" The words are out of her mouth before she can stop them. An evil grin etches its way across Luke's lips.

"You had a crush on me?" He grinned.

Clementine blushed and face palmed. "When I was eleven, yes. I did." She sighed.

"Aww, that's cute." He teased.

"Oh, shut up." Clementine frowned and punched him on the arm. "You had a crush on Jane! Only difference is you DID stuff about it." Clementine grinned back making Luke blush slightly.

"I- no I-"

"Cat got your tongue?" Clementine smirked.

"No, it's just- anyways." Luke huffed. "What're you doin' out here all alone, and stuff?" He questioned. "'Cause it looked to me like you almost died just now… ya know, alone and stuff."

"Yeah, but then you came, and you made it all better, like you always do." Luke smiled sheepishly at the last part. 'Like you always do'… did she really think that?

"You never answered my question, though." Luke pointed out. "Why're you alone?"

"Jane, Kenny, Mike, Bonnie- they all literally went a bit crazy after you 'died'… I had to put them down… all of them, well, not Bonnie and Mike, they tried to leave in the middle of the night and I got shot because of it. Then I was with Jane and Kenny, Jane hid AJ saying he died, Kenny went crazy and tried to kill Jane… I shot Kenny, Jane confessed… I left Jane." Clementine explained, her expression was emotionless.

"Damn. Sounds like it hasn't been an easy life, kid." He sighed. "And… AJ?" Luke questioned softly.

"I left him at Wellington… he's safe now." She answered proudly.

Luke smiled slightly. "You're a good-"

"Don't you DARE call me a kid again, Luke!" Clementine said. Luke smirked.

"kid." He smiled.

"Why you little!" Clementine tackled Luke to the ground.

"Hey! Hey! Stop!" Luke laughed while trying to keep her off of him.

Clementine didn't listen as she began tickling him.

"HAH! STOP!" Luke laughed, "S- stop, Clem! I-"

"Luke?" A voice questioned behind them. Clementine stopped quickly as she looked up to see a girl she was quite certain she'd never seen before.

Luke looked in the direction he called up, but the direction Clementine called forward. Luke was laying on the ground, Clementine was basically sitting on top of him so, they have different directions as up, down, left, and right.


A/N: Sorry if this chapter was kind of a disappointment, I'm a bit rusty with my writing as you can probably tell. So uh, I decided to post one chapter of this today, tomorrow I'm either going to post another chapter of this, if you guys/girls like it so far, or a chapter of 'Girl of Eye'. I haven't gotten around to writing a first chapter to the story called 'Illusion in the Memory' (To those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, I took a survey on this earlier, and 'Girl of Eye' is a highschool AU featuring Cluke, and 'Illusion in the Memory' is a story where Season two really IS just a dream, Clementine gets to change the events that take place in both seasons, etc.) ALSO! Bold words, which, I admit, I probably should've said this before the story started, are my own personal thoughts about... whatever I just wrote. Yeah. OH! And, if you're going to leave a review anyways, should this story be a 'Clementine and Luke are such good friends' (brOTP sort of thing) or a 'Oh my gosh, later in the story Clementine and Luke are totally gonna be gf and bf' sort of thing? I really need help with this part.
