(Vincent's Pov)
I looked at the bottle of whiskey for a while now, should I have a drink or should I just head to bed? I look to see Rosie taking up the bed a bit and I get up and I sit on the bed with her and I rub her head a bit. She wakes up from my touch and I look at her.
"You're a good girl." I tell her and she wags her tail a bit and I nod as I rub her head more.
"Such a good dog." I chuckle as she licks my cheek a bit and I sigh as she lays her head on her paws a bit. I look at the whiskey bottle in my hand and I open the cap and I take a drink of it. There was really nothing else I could do but sit back and look through the window and look at the stars. I start to think a bit as I take another drink and I hear my door open and I look to see Clementine looking at me.
"Vincent." She says as I see her look at the whiskey bottle in my hand and I hand it out to her offering her a drink. She comes in completely and locks the door and sits next to me as she takes the drink from my hand and takes a swig of it.
"There you go, finally taking the edge off like me." I tell her and she looked at me and hands the bottle back. I take another drink and I look at the window and I slowly pet Rosies head again.
"That fight… I'm sorry." She says.
"Ain't nothing to be sorry about, that boy needs to say sorry not you, besides, you can apologize to me in other ways." I say with a smirk and she shoves me away and I chuckle a bit at this.
"Aww come on you know I was just joking." I tell her and she looked to me a bit and I smile as she kissed my cheek and I hold her hand with the one I was petting Rosie with. I kiss Clementine on the lips and I she kissed me back. I set the bottle down as I cup her cheek gently and she looked to me as we parted.
"Look I didn't mean to start a fight, I want you to understand that… he isn't going to get away with a lot of things, besides I want to keep you and AJ safe." I tell her and she nods as I grabbed the bottle again and I took another swig.
"Hmm best let not Kenny see us like this hu?" She says and I chuckle as I pull her to me and Rosie jumps off the bed and Clementine lays on top of me.
"No we shouldn't but frankly I don't give a damn, besides he shouldn't be snooping in peoples rooms unless he wants trouble, and trust me I'm not to keen on letting him snooping around here." I say and she nods as she sits up a bit with her elbows on my chest as she looks to me. I smile up at her and I grab the drink and she grabbed it from me and takes a drink.
"Sometimes it's good to relax." She says and I chuckle a bit.
"Hey we gotta be good parents for AJ we can't be getting wasted." I say as I grabbed the bottle from her and she looked to me.
"I won't be getting drunk because I'm all good, you on the other hand." She says as I take another drink and then she takes the bottle from me again and I sigh.
"You know when I was younger I always thought I would be one shitty parent, I mean honest to god I'm not being a good role model right now by drinking and trying to get laid again in an world full of dead people walking around." I say as I look at her.
"Didn't want to be a parent, can't be a parent." I mumbled a bit as I looked to her more.
"You can though." I mumbled as I grabbed the bottle again and I take a drink.
"I would never be a good mom… you guys showed me I can't raise AJ on my own…. Look at what happened to Marlon." She says.
"No this is different, we live in a world were we can't trust living people anymore, you be kind to them and they stab you in the back, you give them a home and they do it again, you can't stay in once place because people will take it from you." I say and I drink more and more. I begin to feel a bit tipsy as I look around a bit then back at her and I cup her cheek again.
"You have been through a lot…. This world is fucked, we… we're just … we're just delaying our deaths… maybe we should have died when all this began to happen… our parent's left us, all of us, the adults didn't care, they wanted us dead." I say.
"Stop it Vincent." She says.
"No, it's true… I should have died a long time ago… my parent's don't care… if they're still alive they sure as hell don't give a damn about me now then they ever did." I say and I get up a bit and look around a bit as I take another drink.
"AJ has no clue what the world was like and that should be a good thing, but he… he never got to be a kid you know." I say.
"Hey he's acting like a kid now, that's all cause of you guys, and Tenn is teaching him to draw more and Louis is showing him how to play the piano, he use to hate loud noises but now he's getting use to it all." She says and I nod a bit as I drink more.
"I just want to know one thing." I say as I walk up to her a bit and she stands up and looks at me.
"And what is that?" She asked.
"Why be with someone like me?" I asked as I place the bottle of Whiskey on the desk and I pull her to me a bit and we dance without any music, just swaying a bit.
"Is it cause I can't get you…. You know? Well as far as I know I can't." I asked and she looked to me with a blush.
"No." She says.
"Is it cause I'm something new?" I asked as I dipped her a bit and she giggled at this action and I chuckle as I lift her up just a bit and she let go of my hand and cupped my cheek a bit and I smile at her.
"No… you are a kind young man, you can talk to me about a lot of things… not saying I can't talk to Ruby about it but, it's easier for me to talk to you." She says and I nod a bit as I kiss her cheek gently.
"You make AJ laugh, you play with him, teach him new things, things that I didn't even know about." She says and I chuckle.
"You remind me that not everyone in this world can be bad…. You kinda remind me of Lee too… how you want to help others but if it's someone important you would do anything to help them… even if you have to fight someone." She says and I nod as I kiss her. She kissed me back and I hear a knock on the door and I groan quietly.
"You should open that." She says and I shake my head.
"No." I tell her quietly and we laugh a bit at this and I hear a knock again.
"GO AWAY!" I yelled to the door and I look at her.
"Excuse you?" I hear Kenny say and I look at Clementine and I glare at the door.
"I said go away." I say again and I kiss Clementine's neck a bit. She swats me in the arm and I look at her and she looked to the door and I sigh a bit as I stand her up a bit and I let her go as I open the door as best as I could. I come face to face with Kenny and he looks to me.
"What?" I asked.
"Is that Alcohol I smell?" He asked and I chuckle.
"Oooh country man can smell alcohol, amazing…not." I joke and I look to Clementine.
"What do you need Kenny?" She asked kindly and I roll my eyes a bit at this.
"You shouldn't be in here with a… drunk kid Clementine." He says and I glare at him.
"I can handle him Kenny, now what do you need?" She asked.
"I want to know why the hell you are in here while he's drinking, he could hurt you." He says and I glare at him.
"Hey, I ain't never laid a finger on her… well unless she wanted me too." I joke and I look at him and he glares at me.
"What?" He asked and I look at him.
"Nothing Kenny." She says.
"Yea nothing." I tell him and he looks at both of us. I look back at him and he seems to finally realize what I meant as his face turns red with anger.
"I'll kill you." He says as he comes in and I get up to him face to face.
"Listen here, I give no fucks of who you are but you can back the fuck up." I tell him.
"I ain't no weak little boy so watch yourself, I aught a kill you right here and right now." He says and I chuckle.
"For what? Showing Clementine a good time? Well I've already shown her plenty." I say and he grabbed my shirt and I laughed as Clementine tried to pull him off me as he slammed me into the wall and I laughed more. Rosie starts to bark and is about to bite him but Clementine holds her back and I chuckle a him.
"You think your old ass can tell her what she can do? She's old enough to make her own choices you old fucker, and you can't say shit." I say and he has his arm on my neck trying to put pressure on it. I saw Clementine let go of Rosie who kept barking knowing not to bite just yet.
"STOP IT KENNY, SOMEONE HELP!" Clementine yelled as she tried to pull him off but I kept looking at him before I lifted my leg up a bit and kicked him and he let go and I slid down a bit to my feet. I look at him a bit and Clementine does too as he looked to us.
"You… you forced her." He says. And I look at him.
"I didn't force her to do anything." I tell him.
"You're a god damn liar, kids like you are never good, you came to this fucking school for a reason, fucking messed up in the head." He says and I look to him and I take a deep breath.
"Calm down the both of you." Clementine says and I look at her then him.
"Kenny you have no idea on why he's here, so don't say anything, please." She says and he glares at me.
"He's a god damn troubled youth, he must have done some pretty bad shit to get sent here, maybe he forced himself on another girl." He says and I say nothing. I clench my hands into fists as I look at him.
"He didn't force me to do anything now stop this right now Kenny." She says and I look at her and then to him. I kept quiet as he looked at her and then people came running in. Rosie now growling at Kenny and watching him like a hawk.
"The hell is going on here?" Aasim asked and I look at Kenny.
"Nothing…just a bit of a misunderstanding is all." I say and I grab my bottle of whiskey and I head out the door with Rosie by my side and Clementine following behind me. I get to my room and I open the door and I let them both in. I look to Clementine as she doesn't walk in and she looked at me.
"Vincent." She says and looks at my neck.
"Nothing to worry about… trust me, now… want to come in?" I asked as I tilted my head to my room and she looked at me.
"Not right now…. I'll have a talk with Kenny and then bring you some food." She says and I nod a bit as I go in my room and Rosie follows me in the room. I look at Clementine as she watched me and I shake my head and I pull her into the room with me and I kiss her gently.
"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry about anything." I tell her and she looked at me.
"I just hope this winter ends soon, I don't think I can handle any more fights." She says and I watch her as she tried to pull away from me but I stopped her.
"Don't go just yet." I tell her and she looks at me.
"Ok." She says and I nod as I let her go gently but I place my head by her neck and she holds me now.
"You're so beautiful." I tell her.
"Pfft, really?" She asked and I nod.
"Yep." I tell her and she giggled a bit.
"Dirt and gut covered?" She asked and I chuckle more.
"The gut covered is a challenge, but I don't mind the dirt." I tell her and she looked to me and I look at her.
"I would enjoy to have you lay with me tonight…. Not touching just some good old fashion sleep hu?" I asked.
"In a bit, I still have to talk to Kenny and the stunt he pulled and you didn't make it any better…. You seem to be getting into a lot of fights tonight." She says.
"What can I say? Danger loves to come to me at any given moment…. Might be good for the next three months give or take." I tell her and she looked at me and I kiss her.
"I'll let you go talk to the old man, I'm going to have a few drinks with Rosie here and then pass out on this lovely soft bed made of concrete." I tell her and she rolled her eyes a bit and I smiled as I opened my arms out.
"Or you could just drop the whole, talk to Kenny and just lay with us and have a few more swigs of this fine drink with me?" I asked her and she shakes her head at me a bit and I look at her.
"I'll go talk with Kenny, you just get some sleep." She says.
"And off to the old bed I go, to sleep some dreams that will keep me cold." I mumbled as she took me to my bed and I sat on it.
"I will come back to keep you warm." She says.
"Ooooh keep me warm eh?" I asked.
"Mind out of the gutter." She says.
"Can't keep it out if you keep talking like that." I say and she looks at me and I chuckle as she slaps my arm a bit.
"Just joking." I say and she nods as I look at her as we sit on my bed. I see some of her hair lose from her cap and I take it off and place the piece of hair behind her ear and she looks at me. I kiss her neck a bit and she places a hand on my shoulder and I move away just a bit.
"I'll be back." She says and I nod as she gets up and leaves. I finish up the rest of the whiskey and I look to Rosie who looked at me and I pat the bed for her and she jumps on and lays at the foot of my bed. I nod as I lay back on my bed and look at the top bunk for a bit before I close my eyes. I have no idea on how long I was asleep for but I heard my door open up and I sit up fast in time just to see AJ.
"AJ?" I asked and looked at him more.
"Sorry I heard some yelling so." He says and I look at him and I get up.
"Stay in here with Rosie." I say as I hear more yelling and he nods a bit and I walk out. I head to the admin building and I see Gabe yelling at Ruby.
"FUCK YOU ALL!" He yelled.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" I yelled and everyone looked at me.
"You know what, you are on thin fucking Ice with me Gabe." I say as I look at all of them.
"You shut your damn mouth." Kenny says.
"NO YOU, YOU WOKE AJ UP AND I BET YOU WOKE THE OTHER KIDS UP TOO SO FUCK YOU!" I yell at everyone and I look to see Clementine on the ground with blood on her lip. I swear to god I saw nothing but red.
"Who… who the fuck hurt her?" I asked and looked around.
"ANSWER ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" I demeaned pissed off.
"It was Gabe." Javie says and I look at him.
"OUT!" I yelled and pointed to the door.
"ALL OF YOU GET THE FUCK OUT!" I yell at them and everyone looks at me. I am seething at this bullshit that is happening.
"I didn't give a flying fuck if you hurt me, but you hurt her… fuck out of here now, I don't care if you freeze to death." I tell them.
"Vincent stop." Clementine says and I look at her.
"Stop? Stop? Are you fucking joking? He hurt you." I tell her and she looked at me and I looked at the others.
"Get your stuff now, I will take you all away from here, Louis you will follow me, grab your stuff now." I tell them and they do as told and I look at Mariana.
"You can stay here or go, it's your choice." I tell her and she looked to me and she went to grab her bag and I sigh a bit as I go and grab my jacket. I look to Kenny who doesn't move.
"Old man you better grab your stuff now or so help me god I will blast your brains to the wall." I tell him.
"Vincent." Louis says.
"NO! We have been nothing but kind to them and they want to start shit now, fuck that." I tell them.
"You slept with Clementine, how do you think I feel about that, I'm like her father." He says.
"You can say that all you want, but right now, that has nothing to do with Gabe hitting her…. Why did he hit her?" I asked and they looked at me.
"Why did Gabe hit Clementine? Does anyone know?" I asked.
"Clementine why did he hit you?" I asked.
"It's nothing to worry about he was sorry." She says and I look at her then him.
"I am." He says.
"Sorry don't cut it…." I tell him and we all just stand in silence for a bit and I take a breath.
"Vincent." Louis says and I look at him.
"What?" I asked him.
"Just calm down." He says.
"Calm down? Calm down? You're gonna tell me to calm down after Gabe hit Clementine?" I asked him as if he was crazy.
"He did wrong but… you can't let them freeze." He says.
"But you wanted to send Clementine and AJ out in the woods to be….. sorry." I mumbled as I look to Clementine and I helped her up and I grabbed her hat from the ground.
"…. Tonight is the last night you all stay, you will leave in the morning and I will take you to the edge." I tell them and I take Clementine back to my room where AJ is sitting on the bed and he looks at us.
"What happened I heard more yelling." AJ asked and I sat Clementine on my bed and I got a good look at her and I saw she had a busted lip and her cheek was a bit red and I clenched the bed a bit at this.
"Don't." She says.
"Clementine what happened?" AJ asked and I look at him.
"Nothing you need to worry about." I tell him.
"But." He tried to say and I look at him.
"Nothing you need to worry about ok? I have it taken care of." I tell him again and I look at Clementine again as she looked at me.
"Clem." AJ asked and I look at her and stroke her cheek a bit. She flinched away and I move my hand away and sigh.
"I'll get a cold rag." I say and she nods as I grab a rag from my dresser drawer and I head outside and put some snow in it and I head back to the room and I open the door. I see AJ laying in Clementines lap as she rubs his back gently and I watch her.
"And you said you aren't a good parent." I whisper as I close the door and I she looks up at me.
"When he was little and scared I would always do this to help him sleep." She says quietly and I come up to her and I place the cold rag on her cheek gently and she hissed a bit from the pain and I look at her as she relaxed just a bit.
"What was your biggest fear when you were a kid?" She asked and I look at her a bit and think.
"When I was a kid… I use to be afraid of dolls… and not just any dolls but Barbie dolls." I say and she looks at me and I chuckle.
"It's ok to laugh it was silly." I say and she kept herself from laughing and I smile.
"Why?" She asked.
"There was a movie I watched as a kid called Small Soldiers, and they were these small toys that were alive I guess, well they made these Barbie dolls new soldiers and they put small sharp items on them and everything, now imagine a Barbie doll army with knives as hands, that's scary as hell." I say and chuckle a bit.
"Plus movies like Chucky, or even puppets freaked me out as a kid, especially from the dark crystal, damn the puppets freaked me out." I tell her and she looked at me confused and I rubbed my neck.
"They're very old movies I use to watch with my grandfather." I say and she looked at me and I looked down.
"He use to protect me from my bad dreams…. Any time I was scared him and my grandma would let me sleep in their bed and they would tell me 'it's just a dream our little flower.'…. it always made me feel better." I say as I look at her.
"You miss them a lot hu?" She asked and I nodded.
"Who doesn't miss their grandparents?" I asked and she looked to me.
"I only knew my grandma, but she passed away when I was about six." She says and I nod sadly.
"I am so sorry." I tell her and she nods.
"It's ok, at least she doesn't have to deal with any of this." She says and I nod as I move the rag from her face and look at her cheek.
"Swollen?" She asked and I nod a bit.
"Yea… don't worry it'll go down soon." I tell her and she sighs a bit and then I look to AJ as I help pick him up gently and I go lay him on the other bed and I cover him up gently. Once I was done I went over to her and I sat next to her as she lays down. I look at her and I lay next to her and I cover her up and she cuddles up to me.
"I love you." She says and I nod as I watch her sleep. I stroke her head a bit and kept an eye on the door. The morning comes around and I slowly get up from the bed and I cover Clementine up more as she cuddles into the bed. I go and grab my rifle as I head to the admin building and I look to see Kenny and the others waiting. I look to not see Louis and I sigh as I go over to them and I look at them.
"Let's get going." I say as they all walk ahead of me and I watch as Kenny is the last person to leave besides me. I close the gate and follow them.
"You know Clementine doesn't like this." Kenny says and I just look at him.
"You think I don't know that." I tell him as we walk more.
"So why are you making her upset." He states more than asked and I look at his back.
"I…. just drop it." I tell him and he looks at me.
"You know she would be a lot happier with us." He says.
"No, she wouldn't, her and AJ need a stable place to stay."
"And you think your place is stable? Don't make me laugh." He says and I look at him.
"You don't have a home… she's tired of the traveling." I say.
"She will never be tired of the traveling, trust me when the time comes her and AJ will leave, and you wont be going with her, you're nothing to her." He says and I look down.
"I don't need to hear this from you." I tell him and we keep walking till we get to the edge of the woods. The others keep walking and Kenny stops and looks at me and I look back at him.
"You're a real shit leader you know that?" He says and I look to him.
"Doing better than our old one." I tell him and he looked to me more.
"Trust me Clementine will see how bad your place really is and she'll leave, and when she does, she'll find my group and she'll be better off, her and AJ." He says and I look at him.
"That's what you think, if it happens it happens, you think I care about people leaving me? Honest to god we had adults leave us to die…. Our own parents left us to die… we literally have nothing to lose…. I have nothing to lose." I say and he walks off and I watch them. After a good twenty minutes I start to walk back to the school, there I see Ruby heading to the greenhouse and Louis coming out the dorm rooms.
"Did you take them already?" He asked and I nod as I head inside. I look at the stairs to see Clementine and AJ coming down and I head past them and to my office. I lock the door and I begin to think.
-Past Before The Dead Walked-
I was looking at my father as he drank his fourth can of beer. I never like the smell of it but I did get use to it. He threw his semi-empty can to the side near me. Almost hitting me. I flinch a bit and I back away from that spot.
"Fucking clean it up, you useless brat…. Nay thing you're good for." He says and I nod a bit as I go and grab the can to throw it away. I head to the kitchen and I grab the mop and I heard my dad get up from his recliner as I began to fill the bucket with water.
"Use a damn rag, fucking lazy kid." He says and yanks the mop from me and lifts it to the side about to hit me with it.
-Present Time-
I slowly look up from my desk. Why did I remember that? There was no need for that, my father is gone, my mother is gone, no one in my family is here to hurt me. Or to help me. I rub my face gently as I look to the side a bit and I sigh as I look at the maps. I hear a knock on the door.
"Vincent, you ok?" I hear and I go up to the door and see Ruby.
"Yea I'm good, what about you?" I asked.
"Fine…. You sure you're ok?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yea I'm sure, is everything ok?" I asked.
"Yea things are fine, AJ just wanted to know if you could teach him how to build a snowman." She says and I look to the side to see AJ ready to go out in the snow and I chuckle a bit as I nod to him.
"Alright… um… can you ask, Omar if we need to get any more wood for the fire." I asked her and she nods as I come out the office and I walk with AJ.
"And Clementine told me there's this thing called snow angels and she was going to show me how to make one." He says excited and I nod a bit as I listen to him. We get outside and I look around.
"Alright so to build a snowman you gotta make sure the snow can stick, if it sticks we can start building." I explained as I got some snow and made it into a ball with my hands and it keeps its form and I show him. He then grabbed some snow and did the same. I smile as he gets excited and I chuckle as I begin to help him start the base of the snowman. It took us a while but we made the base of the snowman and it was huge.
"Alright, so we're gonna add another base to the snowman about medium sized ok?" I asked and he nods as he gets to work and I help him.
"Clementine told me that when she was little she made an… igloo? With her dad, and a fort for snowball fights." He says and I look to him.
"Yea? I'm guessing you wanna make those after the snowman hu?" I asked and he nodded and I chuckled as I nod as well. We finished making the second part of the snowman and I roll it up the side of the other ball of snow till it's centered.
"Now what?" He asked.
"Well we make one more ball but smaller and place that on the top too." I explained and he nods as we work on the final ball.
"Did you do this with your dad?" He asked and I stopped a bit and looked at the snow.
"No… my dad always said it was stupid and to cold out….. I didn't have a good relationship with my father." I say as I work more on helping AJ.
"What about your mom?" He asked.
"She was busy with work… I thought I told you this already?" I asked and he looks to me.
"I forgot." He says and I smile and pat his head.
"It's fine." I say and we finish up his snowman.
"So what is his name?" I asked and he looked to me.
"Hmm…. Alvin three." He says and I laugh a bit and pat his head.
"Alvin three it is." I say and pat his back as we head inside. Months pass after the group had left, and I haven't slept well in these past months. The weather was getting a bit warmer now so we didn't have to have our heavy coats anymore. But long sleeved shirts were ok.
"Hey Vincent." I heard and I looked over to Clementine as she came over to Louis and I as we cleaned some of the rabbits we caught.
"Hey." I say quietly to her and she hands me a knife and I nod as she helped us clean the rabbits up.
"So, the first time I catch a rabbit, Aasim and I had been looking for them, and we get one in the trap, only problem, a walker got it before we could." Louis says and I chuckle.
"So what do I do?" He asked Clementine and I wash the rabbit meat.
"You kick the walkers ass?" She asked.
"No, I did nothing, that damn thing was bloated, for all I know it could have thrown up on me, guts are hard enough to wash out." Louis says and we both chuckle at this.
"Yea we wouldn't want that smell." I say and Clementine looked at me.
"We still haven't found an eyepatch for you." She says as she moves the hair away from my busted eye and I cover it back up. I took the bandages off so it could air out a bit.
"It's fine, not like it would do any different." I tell her and she looked at me.
"You both need a hair cut." Louis says and I cross my arms.
"Boy, you're right about me, but Clem here doesn't need a haircut." I say and she looks at me.
"Well a trim wouldn't hurt, besides, AJ needs a cut too, he hasn't let me touch his hair in a while." She says and I look to him.
"Alright, I'll go find some scissors." Louis says as he runs away and I roll my good eye.
"You made his day I suppose." I say as I finish the rabbits and I look to Clem to see her looking around and then she kisses me and I kiss her back.
"Oh?" I ask and I smirk as I set the rabbit down and I kiss her gently.
"Just wanted to do that." She says and I watch her as she goes to AJ and I rub my face a bit as I watch her more. It wasn't long till I finished the rabbits and I handed them to Omar, who began to cook them over the fire and not in a soup. I watched as Ruby got the vegetables ready and I went over to check on Tenn and Willy.
"And Mitch. Said that he would help me make it." Willy says and I look at the bomb he was working on.
"Sure do hope you aren't setting that off anytime soon." I say and he looks at me.
"N-No Vincent." He says and I smile.
"Mind trying on making fireworks?" I asked and he nods.
"Something new to work on. Ok yea." He says and I nod as I look around and I see Louis come back with some scissors as he waves me over and I sigh as I go over to him.
"Trust me I'm not going to cut your ear like last time." He says.
"Oh that makes me feel so much better." I joke and he laughed as he sat me in the chair and I sighed as I stood up tall and he began cutting away.
"So, I noticed you haven't been sleeping well." He says to me and I lift my hand up and do a so-so hand gesture.
"You could say that." I tell him.
"Any reason as to why?" He asked.
"No, I have no clue, nerves probably." I says.
"Any bad dreams?" He asked and I nod just a bit.
"What about?" He asked.
"Stuff from the past, my dad, grandma, the adults leaving us and such." I say as he finished my hair and I touch it to feel how short it was, it was a bit longer than an old army cut so it will have to do.
"Ah right." He says and I look at him.
"You haven't been sleeping either, I hear you on the piano a lot." I say as I stand up and look at him.
"Been working on a new piece." He says and I nod.
"Alright, time for Clementine to get a Louis Cut." He announced and she looked to him as she came over with AJ who watched as Clementine sat down and watched as Louis began working on her hair.
"Can Vincent cut mine?" He asked.
"Oh no that's not a good idea." I tell him and he looked at me.
"Why not?" He asked.
"He's afraid to mess it up." Louis says and I nod.
"I'm not good at cutting hair so." I tell him and he nods a bit.
"Ok." He says and I rub his back a bit. After Lois finishes with Clementines hair we set AJ in a chair and Louis starts to cut it.
"Hey when do you think we can go fishing again?" AJ asked and I thought for a bit.
"Hmm, I'd say another month give or take it's still a bit cold out and the lake is still a bit frozen in certain areas." I tell him and he was about to nod but stopped as Louis grabbed his head.
"Woah almost got your ear bud." He says and I chuckle. I finished up what needed to be done and I I hear Willy and Mitch as they run up to us and I stand up.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"T-Two people, adults, wondering the school." Mitch says and I look t Clementine as we both nod and I grab my rifle and I watched as Louis and Ruby got the kids inside and I head to the gate and look to the sides a bit. I don't see anyone but I open the gates a bit and Clementine along with Mitch and Aasim follow us as we look around the walls.
"They were just here I swear." Mitch says and I nod as we get to the back of the school walls and I see no one.
"I don't blame you, could have been some walkers." I say and then I hear a twig snap and I aim my rifle into the wood just as Clementine does the same.
"Show yourself." Aasim called out and no one comes out.
"We know you're out there." I say and then two people emerge from the woods.
"What the Fuck?" I asked out loud as I lowered my rifle.
