Hey guys! So I wanted to update almost every weekend for this story like I kind of did in "Letting Her Go", but I fell behind. So I decided to post two chapters to make up for the last two weekends. The next one should be out sometime tomorrow. Hope you like it!
Before
It's been about three months since Tommy and his mom Kelly had moved in down the street from Clementine and her group. Tommy had become great friends with Clementine and the rest of the girls and they often hung out together.
Today was just one of those days. It was a Friday night and the girls and Tommy had decided that tonight they would go to the drive in to see a movie. This wasn't the first time they had gone up there to hang out, but tonight Tommy had something big planned that he'd been wanting to do for a while now, and tonight was the night he was going to do it.
"So are you going to ask him tonight?" Sarah asked Clem as she brushed her hair in front of the mirror in their room.
"Ask him what?" Clem replied as she put her signature cap on her head.
"Ask him out." Sarah said as if it was the most natural explanation in the world. "You know because you love him." She said in a teasing manner.
Clem rolled her eyes. "I don't love him!" Although her face did turn slightly red, but she quickly dismissed the thought. "I thought we put this behind us."
"What! Why would we!" Sarah exclaimed. "Me and the girls are totally still waiting for you to ask Tommy out."
Clem sighed in frustration and shook her head. If she was being honest with herself she did love Tommy and she wanted to ask him out, but she'd never admit that to the girls. "Come on let's go!" She said. "Will be late!"
Sarah followed her out of their bedroom and down stairs where Rebecca and Luke where. "Where just about to leave." Clem said.
"Now ya'll be careful out there." Luke warned as he folded his arms. "I don't want a repeat of last time." He warned. "And make sure you take your phones with you."
"Will be fine Luke." Clementine told him. "I promise, Wendy agreed to no more dares."
Rebecca rolled her eyes at Luke's antics. "Here take this." She cut in. She grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and handed it to Sarah who now held it in her arms. She always gave them a blanket to sit on at the movies.
"Thank you." Sarah said.
"Alright let's go!" Clem said getting impatient."Bye!" She yelled. As she grabbed her sweat jacket and ran out the front door.
"Don't stay out to late!" Luke yelled after her. "No promises!" She yelled back.
"Bye Luke. Bye Rebecca." Sarah said as she walked out the door after Clem.
"Bye Sarah." Rebecca said.
Sarah closed the door behind her and realized Clem was already heading down the road. "Clem wait up!" She called. She was going to run and catch up with her when she saw Rachel walk out of her house across the street.
"Hey mind if I join you guys!." Rachel called out. "Sure! Sarah replied. Rachel walked over and her and Sarah followed Clem down the road to Tommy's.
Clem was only a few feet ahead of them so she listened to the conversation they where having. She had slipped on her dark blue sweat jacket, but didn't zip it up. It was now November so during the day it was still pretty warm, but it got a little chilly in the evenings and at night.
"So," Rachel started. "When's the next time where going in?" She asked, talking about her and Sarah getting their nails done at the shop.
"Probably sometime next week." Sarah replied. "You should come too Clem."
Clem looked back. "I-I don't know." Clem hadn't really gone with them before. She never really liked the idea of painting her nails. She slowed down her pace till she walked beside them so she could talk with them.
"Come on it'll be fun. Me and the girls do it all the time." Sarah explained.
"Yeah and you can impress your boyfriend too." Rachel teased.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Clem shot back.
Sarah snickered to herself. "Even so. you should still come with us."
Clem put her hands in her jacket pockets. "I'll think about it." Sarah smiled at her.
Clem looked up and realized they where already at Tommy's house. She saw Sky, Abigail, and Wendy already in the front yard by the truck. Wendy already in the bed of the pickup.
As they got closer she heard Wendy say, "Yo dudes, you think if I jump from here I could make it to the roof?"
"If you plan on breaking either yourself or the truck!" Abigail shot back.
"No seriously my dad used to make me and my brothers compete in these lumberjack games when I was a kid, guess I kind of ruled at it." She said.
"Hey girls!" Rachel shouted to stop the argument and announce there presence.
"Hey Rache!" Abigail greeted.
"So where's Tommy?" Clem asked seeing as he wasn't there.
"He's inside." Sky pointed to the house. "Said he needed to grab something before we left, plus he needs the car keys.
Just then Wendy went to jump down from the truck, but tripped and scrapped her knee. Tommy had came out through the front door just as it had happened. He ran up to her. "Oh my gosh! Wendy your bleeding."
She stood back up. "It's cool, It's cool. It's just blood man. Don't freak out!"
"Well if your sure your okay." He said. "Alright everyone ready to go?"
"Let's do this!" Wendy yelled while making a fist and bringing it down. Then she hopped into the bed of the truck.
"Alright!" Sky said as she joined her along with Rachel.
Tommy got in the drivers seat and Clem road shotgun while Sarah and Abigail sat in the back. He started the truck then took off down the road as the engine roared to life. Wendy and Rachel letting out yells of excitement as they held on in the back.
Tommy was usually excited for things like this, but if he was being honest with himself he was actually really nervous right now. He just hoped he wouldn't screw this up.
In a town like this most places weren't far away, so it didn't take long to reach the drive in. It was placed on the outskirts of town on the opposite side of where Clem and Sarah's house was.
Tommy pulled in to the lot and stopped at the front gate and was met by the owner George Wilson, who was a friendly man in his middle sixties.
He saw Tommy pull up and smiled. "Hey there Tommy! The usual?" He asked knowing that the kids often came up on the weekends.
"Hey , seven please."
"For you kids, just give me five." He said.
"Thanks ." Tommy handed him the five bucks.
waved bye to them as they drove through. Tommy parked in their usual spot and everyone climbed out.
Clem went to go help Wendy carry the cooler the was in the bed of the truck up to the front while Abigail helped Sarah spread out the blanket. Clem had taken off her jacket and left it in the truck, since it wasn't that cold yet. They still had about twenty minuets till the movie actually started so Tommy walked up to Sarah. "H-hey Sarah, can I talk to you f-for a second?" He asked nervously.
Sarah gave him a funny look,finding it odd for him to ask that, but quickly shrugged it off. "Okay."
They walked over to the side of the truck and Tommy pretended to be looking for something in the back seat. "Look," he started. "I know this might sound a little weird, but, but I was wondering...I mean if you girls don't mind...I'ts just that I...Well I..." He couldn't quot find the words. He knew what he wanted to ask, but he was nervous about the whole situation.
Sarah stopped him. "Just tell me what you want to ask. You don't need to freak out."
Tommy took a deep breath. "Look, I-I wanted to know if maybe you and the other girls wouldn't mind having j-just me and Clementine sit together." His face turned slightly red. "Theres something I need to ask her. You see I've kinda have a crush on..." He didn't have time to finish his question as Sarah cut in.
"Oh my gosh! Are you serious! I can't believe it! NO way!" Her excitement was through the roof.
Tommy quickly put his hands up to quiet her so they wouldn't cause attention to themselves. "Shhh. I don't want her to know." Sarah quieted down. "So is that a yes then?"
She smiled. "Tommy of course you can." She brushed a few strands of hair out of her eyes. "I'll let the other girls know."
Tommy smiled and pulled his jacket out of the backseat of the car and put it on. Then he walked back over the rest of the group.
"So, who want's to sit on the hood of the car?" He asked. Two of them always sat on the hood of the car while the rest always sat on some blankets on the ground.
Sarah spoke up trying to stifle a laugh. "Clem why don't you and Tommy sit on the truck this time!"
Clem tried to hide a blush knowing what Sarah was getting at. "I-I um.."
"Yeah Clem, you guys can do it this time." Rachel said since her and Sarah had last time.
"O-okay." Clem said shakily.
It had been about forty five minutes since the movie had started and Clem noticed that Timmy had been acting weird. He wouldn't make any eye contact with her and he kept stuttering when he talked. She had gotten up to grab something then came back a few minutes latter.
"Hey Tommy." She casually greeted.
Tommy jumped and dropped the bag of popcorn that he had bought for them on the ground. Clem gave him a weird look as he got down and picked it up. He was a nervous wreak. He had no idea how to ask the question that had been on his mind all day. As he picked the popcorn up he looked to the front row and saw a guy, who appeared to be drunk, run into someones car setting off the alarm.
He got back on the hood of the truck sitting next to Clem. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"W-what? Yeah I-I'm fine." He tried to convince her.
Clem was about to protest when a gust of wind blew by making her shiver since she didn't have her jacket on anymore. She wrapped her arms around herself.
Tommy noticed and offered her his jacket. He took it off. "Here use this." He said as he wrapped it around her shoulders.
"But what about you?" She asked.
Tommy shrugged it off. "I'll be fine."
She smiled. "Thanks that's really sweet of you."
Tommy smiled too. Well he guessed this was as good a time as any. "Hey Clem theres something I've been meaning to ask you," He rubbed the back of his neck. "But I'm not quite sure how to put it."
She pulled the jacket closer to her. "Okay?" Her heart started to beat faster.
He took a deep breath before he started. "Well we've been friends for a while now, and I was hoping, well I was wondering if...if you'd want to go out with me?" By now his face was on fire; he held his breath as he waited for her to answer.
Clem was beyond shocked. She couldn't believe it, the guy she'd had a crush on since the day they met just asked her out. Her heart sped up faster. Until she took a breath and looked to Tommy. She smiled. "You don't know how long I've waited to hear that."
He perked up "Really?"
Clem nodded. "The truth is, "I've actually had a crush on you since the day we first met." She blushed.
He chuckled. "Well it looks like neither of us had anything to worry about."
She smiled, "I guess so."
Tommy wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. Clem sighed in content as they continued to watch the rest of the movie. This had been the best day ever.
A few yards away Sarah had told the girls what Tommy had explained to her earlier, which got them all excited. Every now and again one of them would look behind them to see if Clementine and Tommy where talking. Then once Sky saw Tommy with his arm wrapped around Clem, she told the other girls and they couldn't help but let out a few aww's. Sarah smirked, now she had something to tease Clem about when they got home, which would probably lead to another pillow getting thrown at her.
This is the chapter of when Tommy asked Clementine out. Hoped you liked it. And just to mention if you guys are wondering about Wendy, yes she is the Wendy from Gravity Falls. There's just not enough of it to make this a crossover thing though. Anyway Hope you guys liked this chapter. The next one should be out sometime tomorrow, if not the next day. Don't forget to leave a review or PM me.
