A/N:
Thanks to those who followed and reviewed the first chapter!
I have had this idea for quite a while now. So please enjoy!
Clem's POV
I rolled my eyes and looked back out of the window.
"God. When can we get out of here. I hate just sitting here and doing nothing." Nick said as he slowly stood up. He walked up next to
me and looked out of the window, "F#ck."
"You stink like alcohol." I said as I sat down on a nearby chair. Nick yawned and started to wipe the mist off of the window. "Anyways.
There is no way that we will be able to leave the shed today. There are way too many walkers out there."
"Great. Just f#cking great." He started rubbing his head, "F#ck. My head hurts like sh#t."
"Well you DID drink at least 7 jars of Whiskey."
"Sadly. We have only got a few left." he mentioned. I said sarcastically,
"Maybe we could get drunk together and see what happens." He rolled his eyes and sat down on a chair by me. We sat there in silence for
about 20 minutes. I sighed and stood up, God I was so bored. I paced around the enclosed space. Just thinking about what I could do.
"What's up?" Nick asked. I stopped and looked at him,
"Just- REALLY bored."
"Well. If it makes you feel any better. Where we were sitting last, the shelf near there had one or two books on." I raised my eyebrow
and I walked towards the shelf. I knelt down and there were two books. One called "The Great Gatsby" and another called "The Lord Of
The Rings".
"Hmm."
"What books are there?" Nick asked.
"Something called The Great Gatsby and another called The Lord Of The Rings." I said.
"Read 'em both." he said as he folded his arms and leant back in his chair.
"I've never read them." I mentioned.
"Really?" He asked surprised.
"Yeah. I never really learnt how to read books like these..." I said as I walked back towards Nick with the two books. I sat down on
the chair near Nick and I placed the books on a desk nearby. "Could you er-"
"What?" Nick asked me. I rubbed the back of my neck. "Could I?"
"Could you- maybe read some of the book to me?" I asked.
"I er. No I, sound weird when I read out loud."
"Pleeease Nicky."
"Don't call me Nicky." I gave him the puppy dog eyes. "Fine!" He then picked up the book called Lord Of The Rings. "We'll need to sit
over there because the only light that actually works is over there." He motioned towards where we were sitting last night. There was a
light overhead, it was pretty dark in here, so it would be difficult to read such small writing in the book. Nick leaned his back up
against the wall, I stood up and walked towards him. I sat down next to him, he openend the first page. He started to read, I carefully
listened to Nick's voice.
After around page 20 I felt tired, I didn't sleep a lot last night. I scooted closer to Nick and I lay my head on his shoulder. I
closed my eyes as I felt Nick tense up. I lifted my head off of his shoulder and looked at him, I raised my eyebrow,
"You are so weird." I said as I put my head back on his shoulder. Before I let myself I felt something warm wrap around my shoulders,
of course it was Nick's arm. I then fell asleep.
A few hours later
I opened my eyes and scanned the room. I looked up at Nick and he said,
"Morning." he still had his arm around me, but I didn't really care.
I yawned,"How long was I asleep for?"
"Around two hours. Maybe more." he replied. He must of noticed that his arm was still around me as he started to move it. I held his
arm in place and said,
"Don't worry 'bout it 'Nicky'." He rolled his eyes. "You reading Great Gatsby?" I asked.
"Yeah. I got it when you fell asleep. You don't wake up easily do you?" I yawned and I stared at the book that Nick was reading. It
seemed like he had almost finished reading it.
I noticed that Nick hadn't turned the page in a while, I looked up at him. He was staring right in my eyes, our faces started to come
closer and closer to each others and our lips were now mere inches away, I panicked "I er- I'm gonna go read." I grabbed The Lord Of
The Rings and I stood up quickly. F#ck. I felt my face warm up, I sat down with my back up against the same box that I slept against on
the first night we were here. I quickly glanced over the book and saw Nick reading his book with his face turning a light shade of red.
I tried to read the book but I couldn't understand most of the words, let alone read most of them. I havn't really had any time to learn
how to read in a world like this. I flicked through the pages, I finally decided to give up. I placed the book next to me and I lay
down on the ground. F#ck it was cold. There was a thin blanket next to me, I quickly dragged it over me and I curled up into a ball.
Nick's POV
F#ck that was so stupid! I looked over towards Clem and I saw her shivering underneath a thin, dirty blanket. I took my hat off and ran
a hand through my hair. I adjusted my hat back on my head and then I put the book on the shelf next to me.
"Hey er- Clem? You want a drink? It'll help warm you up." I called over to her. She shifted on the ground and she slowly stood up. She
hugged her body, she must be REALLY cold. She sat down next to me, not as close as she usually does. I handed her a jar of whiskey and
she took it. She opened the jar and took a big gulp, I grabbed a jar and took a sip of whiskey. I stared at the jar of whiskey, I don't
know why but I just didn't feel like drinking. This was a first. I looked over at Clem, she raised her eyebrow at me,
"Why aren't you drinking?"
"Don't feel like it."
"Are you serious? You always want a drink." She smiled at me and rolled her eyes and then looked at her jar in her hands. I put my jar
back on the shelf next to me and then I planted my hands down on the cold ground. I slowly closed my eyes, I sighed. I then felt
something warm on my left hand. I opened one of my eyes and I saw that Clem had scooted closer and her hand was now within mine.
Around 3 hours later
We had been sitting like this for a while, talking now and again. Nothing much.
"So er- about earlier." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck.
"It doesn't matter Nick. It was just... stupid." she replied.
"Heh- yeah." After a moment of silence.
"I er- I'm sorry Nick." she said to me.
I looked at her with a confused look, "Why?" I asked.
"Cuz of earlier. I was just ya know..."
"Whatever." It didn't really mean anything. Did it? After a while, she asked me,
"Nick?" I looked at her. "Do you - do you maybe know how to- sing?"
"Sing? Well. Yeah I do I guess. Why you ask?"
"Could you maybe..." She looked at me with those puppy dog eyes.
"Oh no. No no no. Reading is bad enough but singing. Really?"
"Please?" she asked. "Nicky."
"Clemmy." I sighed, "Fine. What to sing." I thought about it, hmm. Perfect.

Clem's POV
You would never have known that Nick could sing like that. His voice just didn't see, to match it. I glanced over at him and he started to blush,
"That was er- I don't have any words for it Nick."
"Really?"
"It was- perfect I guess." I said smiling at him.
"Well thanks Clem." I noticed that I still had my hand in Nick's. I slowly tried to pull it out but Nick gripped it tighter. I went with it. I then leant back on the wall. I shivered, sh#t. Please don't tell me that Nick felt me shiver. Unfortunately he did notice that I shivered. He, awkwardly, moved closer to me. I had no idea what to do. I didn't want a moment like earlier to happen again. I just sat there, all of sudden he pulled me closer to him slowly. Nick felt so warm, thank god. He then lay down flat on the ground and bought me down too. I decided to rest my head on Nick's chest, he didn't seem to mind and he only tensed up a little bit this time. I loved the sound of Nick's heartbeat.
We both then closed our eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
