Alright... here's how this is going to work...

I have other things going on, but I have decided to continue this. I have a lot of ideas. BUT, this will not be my main priority. I'l continue, I just don't kno how good I'll be about updating. I'll try for at least once a week.

Thank you to those who have convinced me to continue.

BATMAN OUT ;)


Ed pulled into the driveway and parked the car. Diana (still teary eyed) Undid her seatbelt and opened the car door to get out. Ed did the same, spotting their neighbor Nick (Who lived with Luke) outside, basking in the sun with a beer in his hand. Nick looked over and saw the two. With a smile on his face, he waved his free hand out to them and began to walk over.

"Ed, honey," Diana mumbled while holding a hand to her forehead, "I'm going to go inside and lay down for a bit." Diana was always drained after visits with her daughter. The emotion and energy that it just saps out of her makes it hard to stay awake, "Will you please ask Nick about Luke?"

"Sure," Ed answered, giving a small nod, "Want me to invite him too?"

"Yes, Clem did like Nick," The woman responded, "Just not at the same time, Clementine can barley communicate with one person at a time."

Noticing his wife's tiredness (From her slight wobbling and shut eyes) she just pressed a kiss to her forehead and whispered into her hair, "I'll worry about them, just go get some rest."

She gave a small smile to him before heading inside. Nick walked up to Ed, watching Diana enter the house. Once she closed the door behind her, He finally looked at Ed and offered a small smile.

Nick felt bad for the family, but never let them know. He and Luke were actually good friends with Lee. He couldn't believe it when He saw Lee's face on the news and heard that he had murdered a man in front of Clem. Luke and Nick spent a lot of time with the girl for a bit. Loved taking her out for ice cream. Vanilla was her favorite. When they took her to the asylum, or mental hospital as they liked to call it, he argued with Clems parents for a good hour and a half right in front of the neighbors. Luke actually thought it might've been good for her, at least for awhile.

"Hey Ed," Nick greeted and gave the man a high five, "What's going on?"

"Oh," Ed sighed, "You know, we just went to visit her."

Nicks smile dropped, "How is she? Any better?"

"No, worse," Ed mumbled. He cleared his throat before continuing, "She asked for you and Luke. Separately though. Think you can squeeze in time to see her this or next week?"

"She asked for me?" Nick asked, a glint of happiness in his voice. Just a glint though, "Of course I can see her sometime! Miss her like crazy!"

"Things are bad with her right now," Ed said sadly, "She's apparently blaming herself for something's. Been hitting on herself."

"Shit, I'm sorry," Nick cursed, "I'll talk to Luke about it. I know he's wanted to see her for awhile."

Ed nodded and gave a forced smile, "Thanks.'


"Clementine," Lee wheezed, his once brown flesh pale, "You can take care of yourself."

"Lee," Clementine whimpered as her body racked with sobs and her tears mixed in with the blood on her face, "No."

"I know I was suppose to helo you Clem, I cant now. I'm sorry."

Clem gave a simple nod, "Me too..."

Clementine hid her face into her hands while 'reliving' lee's death. Clem wasn't too sure if her thoughts were correct. If they were real. But they felt real. It felt like she could feel the weight of that gun as she pointed it at Lee and shot him in he head.

In reality, Lee was just walking back into his apartment with Clementine after he took her out to eat at her favorite restaurant for getting an A on her math test. Clem had just gotten a hair cut that week and was expressing how she regretted it and Lee was complementing it just before he opened the door. Clementines eyes first landed on Lee's wife (Who was almost have naked on the couch) and then the state senator (Who was undressing her). Something flashed into Lee's eyes then. He pounced the man without question and would not stop beating him.

Clem watched as Lee's wife, Jackie, tried to throw Lee off of the man without success. Up and down up and down his bleeding fist went as he kept throwing punches at the other man. Jackie long hair flew around in the air as she yelled and begged Lee to stop. But he didn't. he only stopped after the mans face was unrecognizable and blood was splattered everywhere. A big puddle on the floor and specks on the furniture. Some had even fallen on Clementines face.

Before he had opened the door he had told her to keep her hair short.

"Hey Clem," Sarah knocked and her door and entered. Sarah was here because of some kind of anxiety problem was unable to accept the fact her mother and father were dead. Her hair was messy in various knots and rats and her feet felt cold from the tile under them (And she only had socks on), "Bonnie said that lunch would be ready soon. Asked me to come get you."

Clementine looked at her. Sarah was Clem's only friend. Clementine was a little hesitant to talk to the girl, but she opened herself up a bit too her. Sarah had made her way into Clementine's world (Or so it had been called). Sarah along with the description she had of her father.

"Sarah," Clementine called out to her friend, "Have I ever told you about Lee at all?"

"Yes," Sarah nodded, "He protected you for a long time, but he died."

Clem shook slightly at that, "yeah..."

"My dad protects me too!" Sarah chipped in, "He tells me everyday things will be alright!"

Clementine knew the truth of Sarah's dad and Sarah knew the truth about Lee. They constantly told each other about what their guardian's had done for them. They both thought the other was a bit weird, but didn't realize they were doing the same thing.

At least they could be crazy together...


"Are you still seeing her?!" Katjaa yelled at her soon to be ex husband

Kenny groaned and stroked his beard (Making a mental not to shave sometime) as he yelled back, "Does that really matter Kat?! We're already filing for divorce, so I don't see how that's any of your business."

"My business?" Kat yelled, tears stinging her eyes, "You cheated on me with that Indian whore and you're telling me that whether or not you're seeing her is none of my business?!"

"For god sakes!" Kenny threw his hands in the air, "Of course I'm seeing her! I work with her! DO you want me to give up my job or something?!"

Duck (Or Kenny Jr. if you're fancy), who had been listening to his parents screaming match, closed his bedroom door. he rubbed his eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. Nearing the tender age of thirteen, he had tried to toughen up to his parents spats. They had gone on since he was about ten or eleven. He looked out his window, catching a glimpse at the house across the street. He sighed slightly. He remembered playing tag with his friend Clementine in that same yard (That was once taken good care of, but not so much anymore) and getting excited whenever Lee pulled into the driveway. It's been about a year since he's seen his friend, but he missed her very dearly.

Or maybe he just missed having someone to talk to.

Luke and Nick were cool, sometimes they let him come over and play Halo or something with them. But they didn't compare to Clem in his mind.

He wondered how she was doing now.
