Chapter 25
Clem's POV
After our small group meeting we decided that we would stay here for another two days and then we would leave. With or without the rest of the group.
Everyone went to bed in their selected tents except for me and Luke as we were put on watch duty. Troy was on watch with Jane in around 3 hours. Just gotta keep my eyes open for those short 3 hours...
Me and Luke were sitting by the fire just staring into the flames. Luke then quickly stood up and went to his tent, I raised my eyebrow. What's he doing?
After a minute or two he emerged from the tent with a bag. He sat down next to me and slowly pulled out a bottle. My eyes widened,
"What is it?" I asked.
"Moonshine. We found a few jars of it at the trailer park. I found a whole bottle of it, Nick and Molly didn't see me take it I don't think." He replied.
"So you want some?" He asked.
"Sure. Thanks." I smiled at him. He brought out two empty jars and filled them each with moonshine. He handed me a jar and I took a small sip. Luke almost instantly gulped down half the jar. "How can you drink that much without it burning your throat?"
"I've had worse. Don't worry bout it." He said.
After I finished my first jar, Luke had already had three. Which meant that Luke may have been a little drunk.
"Hey Clem?" He said in a weird voice.
"Yeah?"
"Are you a virgin?" My eyes widened at the question, I coughed awkwardly,
"Er yeah. Yeah I am." Luke was definitely drunk. (?) Luke may not remember this. (A/N: see what I did there?) "what about you?" I asked him.
"Huh what?" F#cking hell.
"You? Are you a virgin?"
"Oh. Yeah." I couldn't imagine having this conversation if he was sober. "We should do it Clem." Oh f#ck...
I rubbed my eyes trying my best to stay awake,
"You're drunk Luke." He sighed and lay down flat on his back against the dirt on the ground. "You should go to bed Lukey." I said as I ran my fingers through his hair. He groaned at me, as if saying that he doesn't want to go bed,
"Don't groan at me Luke. Go to sleep." He reluctantly stood up and headed for the tent. Almost falling over. I laughed a little and I stared up at the dark sky. I'll admit. I do hate being outside on my own at night time. The thought of a walker or anything creeping up on me worries me. I pulled my knees to my chest trying to keep myself warm. The fire was warm but I needed to be warmer. These three hours better hurry up.
I almost drifted off quite a few times. Two hours had passed, I won't be able to make the last hour. I slowly shut my eyes, I had to sleep.
I then heard the sound of a tent zip opening. I darted my eyes towards the source, out came Troy, shortly followed by Jane.
"Tired?" Jane asked with a slight grin.
"I still got an hour left. I'll be- I'll be fine." I let out a loud yawn.
"Go to sleep Clem." Said Troy. I stood up a sighed, I then headed to Luke's tent.
"Thanks guys." I said to Jane and Troy. I then slowly opened the tent and stepped in. I instantly closed it afterwards. I turned around to see Luke sitting up rubbing his head. He seemed to have sobered up a bit.
"Hey." I said softly to him as I sat down.
"Hey." He said as he stopped rubbing his head. He then rested his head on his pillow.
I lay down next to him and moved some of his hair out of his face. "Was I drunk?" He asked.
"You still are." I joked.
"Did I... Ya know... Say anything."
"You said some things. You asked me if I was a virgin and I said yes and then you said you were a virgin."
"oh. Is that it?" He asked. I scratched the back of my neck,
"Well. There is one more thing. You said these exact words 'we should do it.'"
"We- oh sh#t. I er-"
"You know what they say. A drunk mans words is a sober mans thoughts..." I said.
"Err..." He said. I rested my head on Luke's chest. He started to sing quietly,
You hold your every breath
The life is for the living
In the water
You feel that you should run
But where are you to hide in the water
"What song is that?" I asked.
"It's something me and Nick used to sing when we were drunk. It's called In The Water by Anadel." I then slowly shut my eyes and said,
"Goodnight Luke."
"Night." He said as he wrapped one arm around me and pulled a thin blanket over the both of us.
Jane's POV
"We gotta put out this fire. Gonna draw attention." I mentioned.
"Yeah. Gonna freeze our asses off." Troy said. Troy then pulled out two candles from his bag and lit them.
"Might aswell have some light."
I then put out the fire and took a seat next to Troy.
