Clementine woke up still in the car, but instead of being on the seat she was in Luke's lap resting, Clementine smiled and said nothing, she didn't want anyone to notice she was awake, she only wanted to relax in Luke's arms, and enjoy the way he held her, but Luke saw her eyes open from the mirror, "Clementine." Luke called her name softly and she moved her head back, so she could look at him. Even if he was upside down, he was still handsome. Luke leaned down indicating he was going to kiss her, she raised her neck up and met his lips exchanging a soft kiss with him, she felt Luke's hands grab onto hers tightly.
"look who's awake." Pete said with a smile, causing Clementine and Luke to end their passionate smooch. Luke rested in his seat, and Clementine smiled turning her head. she saw Nick was sitting next to Luke, Pete was driving, and in the back seat Rebecca Alvin, Sarah Carlos Sarita and Kenny hand all managed to squeeze into the back seat of the truck. she sighed in relief happy to see that everyone was still alive. Clementine knew the group wanted to know how she escaped so she told them, and they all listened carefully, finally she decided to save the best, and most important issue for last.
"Carver is till after us, I have a feeling hes going to follow the tire marks and find us." Clementine said to everyone else and looked up at Luke.
"what are we going to do then?" Kenny asked while placing an arm around Sarita.
"the best thing to do is somehow throw him off our trail." Luke suggested and placed a hand on Clementine's cheek
"we could do that, but the only problem is, no matter where we go we leave tracks." Pete added.
"maybe we can drive until the car is empty, get as far away from here as possible, and head somewhere else." Luke said again, while gently caressing Clementine's cheek, and turned back to Kenny. "you said you where a fisherman right? maybe we can find a boat out here, get it working and we can live life on the water." luke suggested. Kenny's eyebrow went up, as he began to think back to what had happened at Crawford.
"I doubt there are anymore boats left out there, just like in Crawford.. you remember that Clem? we went to the docks in hopes of finding a boat, but they where all gone, Clementine was the one to discover a boat that didn't have a battery or fuel." Kenny began to tell the story about Crawford, and everyone listened. Clementine and Luke stared into each others eyes sorta tuning everything out, the tip of Luke's fingers lightly tailed across Clementine's arm, her skin was so soft and made Luke want to feel more than just her arm, however he didn't want to get too touch with her, especially with other people beside them.
"I have an idea." Nick blurted out, and Kenny stopped talking, everyone except for Pete turned to Look at Nick. "Uncle Pete...Luke, we can head back to my moms place, remember, she had a nice sized home..."
"yeah, but its probably either walker infested, or survivors have picked it clean." Pete said to his nephew.
"mom never told you, or dad, but our house had an attic, and a basement. she stored all kinds of things inside, I'm sure no one has found it, and even if they did there are multiple locks on the door. she did this so no burglar would ever be able to get in." Nick said and turned to Luke "remember when we where kids and I showed you how to get to the attic?"
"yeah, I remember... I think we should all listen to Nick's idea, I mean... its the only idea we got, unless any of you have some place safer we can go to." Luke said to everyone and turned his head to see if anyone had any better suggestions. everyone else stayed quiet, and Luke turned back to Clementine gazing down into her eyes. "alright everyone, then its settled, we head back to Nick's mom's place, and hope we can stay there." Luke announced and smiled. Pete decided to head in the direction of Bonnie's map she got from Carver's camp the group all chatted about happy things along the way.
"this is just like old times, I remember when Lee was alive, and we would find a safe place to say. we would all tell jokes and spend time bonding like a family." Clementine said just to Luke, Luke smiled. "I remember after a long day of hard work on the farm. Nick , Pete and I would sit outside by a campfire and just hang out, man those where the good ol days." Luke mumbled and sighed softly. "man... i'd give anything to go back to living a normal life."
"me too." everyone said in unison, and laughed. Luke turned to Nick who seemed to be lost in thought, he knew exactly what his lifetime friend was thinking about. he was thinking about his mom, and normally when Nick got moody, it meant to just leave him alone. Luke looked back down at Clementine who seemed to be asleep again, he decided sleep was something everyone needed, their day had been crazy since it had started. Luke closed his eyes and drifted of into a deep sleep.
"we're here." Pete sang, waking up the ones who did fall asleep. "and we are just about out of fuel." he said to everyone, chuckling lightly and got out of the vehicle. Clementine opened the door getting out on her side, and helped Luke and once everyone was out Nick decided to take the lead.
"so who is going to go, and make sure its safe to go inside?" Nick asked everyone
"I'll go." Clementine volunteered, Luke grabbed onto her hand "i'll be fine Luke." she said in a calm way and he nodded
"alright just... be careful." he responded as his eyes shifted to the ground and his shoulders slumped. the thought of loosing Clementine after she barely returned crossed his mind. he scratched the back of his head and saw Nick, Clementine, and Kenny head inside the gates. "wait! i'm coming to." Luke said to them
"are you crazy? your ribs are-" before Nick could finish Luke cut him off
"they are not broken, the area just hurts real bad, and besides if Clem can make it out of Carvers camp with a bruised stomach, I can make it through this" Luke said and joined the 3 of them whether they liked it or not. Clementine reloaded her pistol with ammo and stuck a few clips of ammo in her pockets just in case she needed to reload. she took Luke's hand in hers and walked with him up the path looking at the others who stood there. Pete took the car and drove it off so that he could get rid of it and throw of Carvers men, if they did show up. "you know what Clem?" Luke asked as they made their way up the path.
"what?" she replied to him turning her head to look him in the eyes. Luke smiled
"I love you girlfriend." Luke said to her. she smiled wide and stopped Luke from walking she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him, quickly and pulled away from him.
"I love you too boyfriend, now lets clear this house so we can do kissing stuff." she said in a teasing way, leaving Luke standing there dumbfound.
