I stepped outside the front door and battled my way through the crowd of people standing in front of me. When I reached the front I almost pinched myself because there in front me stood the whole group.
Christa, Omid, Rebecca, Alvin , Katilin, Shel, Carlos, Sarah, Beca, Pete, Nick and Wyatt stood in front of us with arms raised in surrender. I got over my shock and ran to hug all of them even Beca who hugged me back.
I stepped back and watched as Luke did the same with a broad smile, his hug with Nick almost brought tears to my eyes they were like brothers it was so sweet...damn these pregnancy hormones.
"You know these people!" Sarayhtah shouted in shock. I turn to her and said
"Yes we do they are the group that we got spilt up from, they are cool they won't hurt you."
As Sarayhtah opened her mouth to respond Carter quickly stepped in and said "we'll take your word on it...please come in you must be hungry."
We followed Carter back inside. He brought out some food and drink for the group tp have, I sat down opposite them still having a hard time believing that they are here.
"So Clementine how have you been doing?" Pete asked.
"Fine, Carter and his wife Sarayhtah have been checking on me he's a surgeon and she's a nurse" I responded.
"Who are these people you and Luke are with?" Christa asked concerned.
"They rescued us when we were running away from lurkers, Clem fell after a lurker grabbed her ankle but luckily the baby was ok and they took us in when we were near death" Luke answered.
"That woman that had that crossbow aimed at us, what was her deal?" Nick asked.
"That's Sarayhtah she's wary of strangers so don't expect her to give you the hand of Friendship her husband is ok though but their daughter Dante she's weird freaks if you touch her hair and never speaks unless she's asked to you" I answered.
"Wow what a weird bunch you guys are with" Omid said.
"They are ok mostly" I said shrugging.
"Who else lives here?" Rebecca asked.
"There's Alpha, Kim, Andrew, Hailey and her boyfriend Ethan he's kinda like you Omid" I said smiling.
"Really?" Omid asked with a raised eyebrow.
Just then Alpha, Kim, Andrew, Hailey and Ethan walked in with pillows and blankets.
"Hey, hope you don't mind but we got a few things here to help you sleep" Kim said.
"No just thanks for letting us stay" Alvin said.
"Well, since Clementine and Luke know you guys you must be ok" Alpha said looking at us but I could see that she was looking more at Nick than anyone else.
"Well, we better get to bed it's been a long day" Pete said.
"Do you want us to make the sofa comfortable or are you ok?" Hailey asked.
"We're good honey thanks your asking" Christa said smiling.
"Breakfast we'll be ready in the morning don't be afraid to have some" Ethan said and with that we all went to bed.
The next day we were all having breakfast it was tense but thankfully no one got killed...I sat in the living room with Sam and Collie and watched in delight as Sarah came over and hugged them and played with them. I saw Luke and walked over to him "hey you ok?."
"Yeah just fine, I'm just glad that the group is safe."
"Yeah me too."
"I missed Nick the most."
"I guessed that because of the way you hugged him yesterday."
"He's like my brother."
"I know, when I first saw you two I thought you were brothers or somewhat related."
"Everyone says that" Luke said smiling.
From then on the day was uneventful and pretty boring for an apocalypse, however I did see Alpha staring at Nick with a longing look in her eyes...weird...does she like him?...
A few days past and I went downstairs to see Sarah happily playing with Sam and Collie, it was good to see her smile again.
"Morning Sarah" I said.
"Hi."
"I bet your glad that you get to see Sam again" I said with a smile.
"Yeah and look he's got a girlfriend" Sarah said giggling.
"Yeah he does" I responded and went into the kitchen to have some breakfast, I didn't notice that Alpha was sitting at the table when I heard her say
"How well do you know Nick?" I was surprised at that and turned around slowly as if I was in shock.
"Quite well why?" I asked curiously.
"Does he have a girlfriend?."
"No not that I know off...why?, does that bother you?."
Alpha shrugged.
It took a few seconds for me to realise "Oh my god you like him."
"H...how do you know?" Alpha asked in sudden shock and stood up so fast.
"Well for that past few days you've been staring at him with this longing look in your eyes, and are always asking questions about him."
"Ok so maybe I like him...a bit" Alpha admitted.
"Ahh...has my Alphie have a crush?" I asked.
"Shut up and don't call me Alphie, but if that's what it is then yes I do have a crush but it's ok it'll never happened."
"How do you know that?."
"Because look at me Clem I don't trust anyone and I don't have much experience with guys."
"And?, neither did I but look where I am."
"Yeah but Luke's different, Nick's more like a wound up toy when it get's to wound up he'll explode."
She was right there Nick has been known to go off the handle a bit in situations.
"But it can still happen I can help if you want me too."
"Na, I'm ok Clementine really" and with that she leaves.
Hope you liked it xx
