Chapter 3: Thinking about what might have been
The screen flickered to life, and there stood Carley. Her chocolate-brown eyes were filled with so many emotions; joy, fear, love, and exhaustion. She wore her lucky purple vest; which Clementine once mentioned that it looked like a life jacket. Despite all this however she still managed to smile at the camera. She sat down on the old chair that was in her room and let out a small, yet sad sigh.
"I don't even know where to begin; it's been about 3 months since the St. Johns. It feels as though it's been 3 years since that nightmare. We lost Mark, Larry, and in a way we also Lilly. Larry was an asshole, but he was Lilly's father, and they loved each other. Now that he's gone Lilly doesn't have anyone. It also doesn't help that she has to deal with Kenny. I mean Lee and I try to keep this group together, but it's getting out of control." Carley said.
Lee groaned; he could never forget how the group went to hell after that night. Lilly was never the same since that night, she became anxious and paranoid. And Kenny, Kenny immediately tried to become leader. He was always focusing on Duck and Katja, and forgetting about everyone else. His rash and stupid decisions almost put an end to the group. When the bandits first attacked Kenny rushed into his room to check on Katja and Duck, leaving only himself and Carley to defend the Motor Inn. Lilly left with Ben to go on a supply run that day. It was a close call that day and all Kenny did was complained that an arrow managed to hit his precious R.V.
"Every time it's Team Kenny vs. Team Lilly, and they always look at us to see whose side we are on. I know Lee tends to side with Lilly and that infuriates Kenny to no end, and if there's one thing about Kenny that we can all agree on is that he holds grudges!" Carley exclaimed angrily.
'Damn, so I wasn't the only one who noticed that' Lee thought.
"I can kind of see why Lee supports Lilly over Kenny. I mean Lilly always thinks of the group first, while Kenny thinks only of his family and leaves the rest of us to fend for ourselves. However what Kenny doesn't know is when the group is weak, his own family is in danger. When the group is weak, everyone is weak. It's like the old saying, Together we stand, divided we fall." Carley said; her voice filled with frustration.
"Still, I can't help but worry about her, it seems like we are losing Lilly. I talked to Clementine and asked her what happened, and she told me that Kenny killed Larry. Larry had another heart attack and while Lilly and Lee tried to revive him by giving him CPR, Kenny grabbed a salt lick and smashed his head in. I can't believe that Kenny would do that, to kill someone who wasn't even dead yet. I mean it's like he wanted Larry dead since the day he accused Duck of being bitten. There's no way that Lilly escaped the dairy farm unscathed" Carley said in shock.
"I guess I finally know why there's all this tension between Kenny and Lee now. I know that no matter what Lee would never kill Larry, despite all the times Larry was a dick to Lee, Lee always tries to protect us all. Despite his past, despite being labeled as a killer, I truly believe that he should be the leader. Lee is strong both mentally and physically; he is willing to make the tough decisions and most of all he will risk his own life to protect anyone from our group." Carley said.
'No, not everyone, I failed to save you Carley. After everything you had done for me, after saving my life so many times. The one time you needed to be saved and I couldn't save you. You were my one true friend, when I had no one else to turn to I would look up to you for help.' Lee thought sadly, his heart filled with grief and guilt, mourning the death of his closest and sweetest friend.
"… I talked to Clementine yesterday, making sure if she's doing ok. I swear that little girl is the only one who can make you feel that tomorrow will be better. After the bandit attack she drew a picture for me, it was me trying to put some batteries in a flashlight and failing miserably." Carley laughed, her laughter sounded like a robin singing on a sunny summer day.
"She always looks up to Lee and I for advice, I feel like we're her parents now. I mean I feel like she is my daughter and Lee…" at this Carley stood up and started to pace back and forth.
Lee gripped the small video camera tightly, his hands trembling. Lee took a deep and shaky breath, and prepared himself for what Carley had to say next. Lee knew however that whatever it was, it could not be good.
"When I first met Lee I was terrified. I knew who he was the minute Kenny called him for help. The thought of hiding in an old abandoned pharmacy with a convicted killer next to me with undead monsters trying to break in and eat us all is not my definition of fun. It was so weird to me that Lee was actually kind and caring to everyone. Lee went around and helped everyone as best he could; he found some energy bars for us, he helped me get the radio working, and even risked his life to protect a little girl who he just met two days ago. I thought at first that at first he was just trying to stay low, that he was just trying to ride out the storm and leave when he had a chance."
"I managed to talk to him when he was in his parent's office. I was walking by the office when I heard Clementine yelp in pain; I was ready to burst into that room, gun drawn and ready to fight. There was no telling what that murderer would do to her. However when I walked in I saw something that I would never have imagined. There was Clementine sitting on a desk whimpering in pain, her finger bleeding. And Lee, he was wrapping a band-aid over her finger; he was actually taking care of this little girl. A convicted murderer, who beat a man to death with his two fists, was taking care of an innocent eight year old girl. It was the most unlikely pair I have ever seen.
"I managed to sneak back out and I was hiding behind the door, I was able to glance over the door. Lee looked so grief-stricken; he was staring at a bloody mattress lying on the ground. He found a picture next to the mattress and started to talk to the picture and apologized to his parents, saying if he was around he would've saved them. I felt my heart-break a little, hearing the confessions of a man who believed he was responsible for his parents to death. Despite this however I had to make sure that one bad move, one mistake and I would tell the group who he truly was. When confronted he told me that there would be no problems from him. After I promised him that I would keep his past a secret he gave me a sincere and warm smile and gently gave his thanks to me."
'I still can't believe that she did that. She knew I went berserk and killed a person, and yet she still gave me the benefit of the doubt.' Lee thought, still grateful to her for that.
"When Glenn was in trouble, Lee was the first to volunteer to save him, no one else came with us, and needless to say the walk there was a little awkward. When we got there we found Glenn hiding in a dumpster, there was some left over pizza stuck to the back of his jacket. We were going to leave until Glenn told us that there was a girl in trouble; that she was stuck into one of the rooms. Lee agreed with Glenn to save the damsel in distress; despite my argument to get the hell out. Lee managed to take out 5 walkers before reaching the girl, and when she opened the door… she was bitten. She begged us to let her use my gun to kill herself. And Lee, he told me to give it to her. I knew that she would die a slow and painful death, knowing that she would know she would become a walker. Unless we let her leave on her own terms. Lee stayed by her side until she pulled the trigger." Carley said in a remorseful tone.
"After that we returned to the pharmacy and somehow Lee found the keys to the backroom. However the alarm still worked and we were soon faced by a wave of walkers. We lost Doug that night; he was yanked out into the streets by a gang of walkers." Carley said shakily, her eyes filled with sadness.
'How the hell could anyone have forgotten that night? Everyone almost died at the pharmacy!' Lee thought; his body shuddered in fear. Clementine almost died that night; and while he saved Carley, Doug died because of that.
'If only I was a little faster, or maybe I could have…' Lee thought, the guilt tearing at his already fragile heart. However despite all the scenarios that raced through Lees mind, he knew that he could have only saved one of them. Doug may have been a good guy, but in the end he chose Carley because he felt that he owed her. She saved his life twice that night and promised to keep his past a secret. That was why Lee saved her that night, she saved his life three times that night, the least he could do was save her as well.
"The next three months we lived in a somewhat paradise, I mean we each had a room for ourselves, we had enough water to take a shower, and because of Mark we had enough food to last us for a few months. It wasn't until the end did our food run out, the day we met the St Johns. The day our group went to hell." Carley whispered the last part, her eyes glistening with sadness and anger.
"Lee decided to go hunting with Mark and Kenny for anything, hell I would have even eaten a squirrel at the time. When they returned you could imagine our surprise when they come back with a teenager and a man with his leg cut off. He was stuck in some sort of trap and they cut his leg off, the other kid that was with them got eaten alive by some walkers. As soon as they arrived Lilly and Kenny butted heads with each other, and much to my surprise Lee sided with Lilly. Lee usually tried to stay neutral throughout their arguments. Obviously Kenny left and was throwing a tantrum next to his R.V. The next thing I know Lee comes up to me asking for help; apparently Lilly told Lee he was in charge of the rations for that day. He only had four pieces of food, which meant that six of us would have to go hungry that day. I told him if he wanted to be good with Lilly or Kenny he should feed Larry or Kenny's family. In the end I told him that no matter what I knew that he would make the right choice. He offered me some crackers but I declined. He looked so bad, his face pale and he was swaying while he was standing. He didn't eat in over three days and he still gave some food to the kids, Lilly and Mark." Carley said.
'I was so hungry, but there was no in hell I could have eaten in front of everyone while the others were starving, only a piece of shit would have done that' Lee thought angrily, remembering how Larry was pissed off that he had to go hungry for the day.
"The next thing I know Lee is screaming for help as the man with one leg is trying to tear his guts out. I was so scared; my blood was full of adrenaline. One moment I was sitting down on the couch, the next I'm standing over Lee with my gun pointed at the walkers head. Kenny snapped at Ben, accusing him of bringing a bitten man to our groups. What Ben would say next made each and every one of us lose hope… We are all infected, each one of us carry the virus in our body. That day, whatever dream I had of this nightmare coming to an end, was shattered. There is no hope; all we can do is try to survive, to live in fear in this dark and bleak world." Carley whispered sadly.
"I looked behind me as everyone was still in shock and there were two men sneaking upon us. My gun, as though it read my mind aimed itself onto them in a heartbeat. I was ready to take them out if they took one more step toward us. Lilly however stopped me, she was wondering who they were. I was suspicious and curious when they were asking for some gasoline. To my utter surprise they had an electric fence to keep all the walkers out. They invited us over to see it and for a trade, some of our gas for some dinner for everyone. Lee was so cautious, he was ready to refuse, to tell them to leave and never comeback. However he looked at Clementine and saw how skinny she became, and how hungry she was. Even with giving her half of his rations every day, hell sometimes Lee would give his entire rations to her. He would get for two whole days at time without eating so she wouldn't starve, and I was complaining about not having coffee. I was so selfish."
'No, you were never selfish Carley; you were always there for her. When Clementine had a fever that one time and I ran to the pharmacy to find her some medicine, it was you who stayed by her side, making sure she was ok. When I was on watch at night and she was having nightmares, you were the one who slept with her to chase the monster under her bed away. When she didn't have me, she would have you… I still remember the day we brought mark back to the Motor Inn. Clementine started to draw her chalk drawings and I helped her draw a mural of everyone, and you helped us with it. That day, we were a family. That day, I felt completely at ease, like nothing could ever bring us down. Lee thought sadly, the pain from the knife that Lilly stabbed him in the heart was twisting slowly and painfully.
As we walked to the farm, I talked to Lee and told him he should be our leader. He didn't think he could however due to his past and… Larry knew who he is. He knew that he was a murderer; he knocked him out and left him to die back at the pharmacy. I asked him what happened and Lee told me that he just lost control. That is wife begging him to stop wasn't enough to stop him, and in the end he killed the senator. When Lee told me this, his eyes were full of regret, that he would never in a thousand years would he have thought he would commit a crime like that. I gave him a small hug and told him that no matter what, I knew that he is a good man. No matter what I'll have his back, he is…" Carley paused, her face turning pink.
"We met the bandits. They just executed one of their members for no reason; they just shot him with no hesitation. It was sickening; they were no better that animals!" Carley yelled her face full of disgust. Lee couldn't blame her, the way the bandits treated their own members was horrifying. Lee tried to hold back his thoughts if Clementine met someone like those bandits instead of him the day the world went to hell.
"When we finally reached the dairy, it was a scene from a fairytale. Green grass, cornfields, a red barn, there was even a small swing set from the tree. The electrical fence was extremely impressive; the charred walkers were proof of its capabilities. It seemed that we found the impenetrable gates to heaven, and Ben and I where bringing a small piece of heaven back to the group in the form of homemade biscuits." Carley said her face lit up a little as she remembered those delicious treats.
"However Ben and I may have eaten a few biscuits and needless to say Lilly was not amused when we told her that walkers ate the biscuits. She made us stay behind and guard our 'fort' while the other would sit back and enjoy a homemade southern barbeque." Carley said to herself, her eyes glazed with a mixture of relief and fear. Lee could not blame her, she was the lucky one. She did not have to be trapped in that hell hole, that god damn meat locker.
"It wasn't until it was around eight o'clock that I knew something went horribly wrong. Lilly didn't want to stay for long; I mean she was telling the group that they should just take their dinner to go. I knew that abandoning the Motor Inn was a bad idea, but I just knew that Ben and I had to check on the group. It wasn't until we got there did my fears were confirmed. Lee was hiding by the cornfield, his jacket full of blood. He didn't see us until I killed a walker next to us. I asked him if he was ok, yeah I know, yet another stupid question. He told us that they were cannibals, and that they tried to feed them Mark. Apparently Mark was injured and they brought him inside to fix them up and they… they… there are no other words to describe them except evil. Only evil people could do such an act and try to justify it somehow!" Carley said as her face began to turn pale and her hands began to shake.
Ben and I went in the back way and we saw Andy aiming his rifle at Lee ready to shoot him and holding duck as a hostage. Kenny was in the ground holding his side; he was shot trying to rescue Duck. In that instant I aimed my gun at him and pulled the trigger. In that moment I just knew I could be the one who could turn the battle into our side. Though I missed, I fucking missed! I only managed to graze him and lee almost died because of that. Still, by some miracle Lee managed to overpower him and beat him to a bloody pulp. I had to yell at him to tell him to stop. That he won. That there was no need to repeat the past that he could choose his own destiny. Instead he killed not only Danny, but also Andy." Carley whispered her face full of sadness and a hint of disappointment.
Lee paused the video and started to pace, trying to calm himself but failing miserably. Lee knew that he showed his true colors that night. How when pushed into a corner, that he would turn into a fearsome beast, a true predator. Someone who will go through hell and back to protect the ones he loves. Lee knew that he shouldn't have killed Andy and Danny, that the walkers would have killed them. But the small chance that they could come back, that they would attack the Motor Inn in revenge for the loss of their mother. Lee knew that he could not take that chance, however he still felt bad for what he did.
The fact that Carley and Clementine were disappointed in him hurt him more than getting smacked with Danny's rifle. More tha getting knocked out by Larry. It felt as though the ones who looked up to him as some sort of hero, began to see that he was actually the villain. Lee knew that they eventually forgave him, but the thought of failing them was overwhelming the poor man. The guilt that was still ripping at his fragile heart increased tenfold. Lee took a deep yet shaky breath and played the video again.
"After that we all walked back to the Motor Inn; everyone was silent. Lilly was mourning her dad's death; Kenny was with his family, the gunshot wound on his side still bleeding. Clementine was lingering next to me; we were both worried about Lee. I managed to gather my courage and asked him if he was ok. The look in his eyes, it was heartbreaking. It was a mix of grief, anger, and exhaustion. Lee felt bad that he could not save Larry or Mark. His heart was still full of rage towards the St. Johns. And he was tired of all the weight that he had to bear. And yet he still knew that whatever problem arrived, whatever obstacle we faced; he would be the first one to face it."
"We found an abandoned car, and it was full of supplies. We had to take it; it would support all of us for a couple of months. Lee however wanted no part of it what so ever. He knew that we were no better than the bandits if we took it. Kenny however took it anyway, along with the entire group. Including me, I just… we were starving and we were desperate."
'I know that we needed those supplies, but still. I can't help but feel that we condemned a family somewhere out there. I feel that we are responsible for yet another death due to our actions; because I couldn't stop Kenny.' Lee thought.
"This camera was owned by this insane and mental woman who was spying on us. She wanted to kidnap Clementine. She even snuck into the Motor Inn and stole Clementine's hat. She was able to come so close to us. Even with one of us on watch, it still gives me the creeps.
"After that our situation was so bleak, the arguing between Lilly and Kenny. The bandits began to attack the Motor Inn every week. Despite all this, Lee always tried to make the best of our situation. And…" Carley's face turned pink and she whispered quietly "I love him".
Lee felt as though his heart forgot to beat, and he felt short of breath. His emotions were all over the place.
'She loved me…' Lee thought, shocked of what he just heard.
"I've seen the kind of man Lee is; a kind and caring man. He is a guardian to those in need and well risk is life for anyone who is in danger. I mean he's like a knight in shining armor. I feel as though with him at my side, whatever we face we shall overcome. Together we will survive this nightmare, and protect Clementine. The bond between Lee and I will never snap, and I want to tell him so bad." Carley said, her beautiful brown eyes shining with love.
"The feelings I've had for him has changed, they have become even stronger. Every time I see him I can't help but smile. I feel like I'm back in high school again, head over heels over Lee. This is it, I'm going to tell him as soon as he comes back" Carley replied, her eyes filled with determination.
"The Winter! We'll freeze our ass out here!" a deep booming voice exclaimed.
"It's better than jumping into the R.V. with you after what you did to my dad!" a shrill and loud voice managed to overpower the other voice.
"Or not… Leave it to Kenny and Lilly to kill the moment. Well I might as well help Lee deal with those two. I guess this it for now." Carley smiled one last time at the camera and moved close to it.
"Mrs. Carley Everett, I like the sound of that". Then the video ended, her beautiful face vanishing out of sight.
'She loved me. She…Loved…Me.' No matter how many times Lee tried to comprehend what she just said, he was still in shock and denial. Those words felt foreign to him, the only other person to tell him that was his ex-wife. Just thinking of that traitorous whore made Lee's blood boil. Lee knew that if he would have met Carley instead of his Ex; things would have been better for him.
Lee reached into his back pocket and pulled out his most prized possessions which he carried with him at all times. Two pictures that he managed to save from being lost at the Motor Inn. The first picture was of his family which he found at the drugstore. The other picture was a group picture of Carley, Clementine, and himself. Lee looked at the photo, of Carley's hair shining in the sun, and Clementine's cute smile. All of a sudden the memories of that warm sunny day flooded his head.
- FLASHBACK-
"You know with all the supplies we got, I think Lilly will finally get off our backs for a while." Mark said joyfully, swinging the bag of all the medicine and food that he gathered.
"I sure hope so, and I think everyone will like the little surprise we found." Lee said, his eyes scanning the road for any walkers lurking nearby.
"Hey! I'll race you to the Motor Inn!"
"Really Mark?"
"Ugh, never mind. There's no point in beating an old man." Mark replied teasingly. His grin grew as he saw Lee glaring at him.
"What did you call me?" Lee yelled as he swung a punch to Mark. Mark dodged, and began running to the Motor Inn; Lee right on his heels. The Motor Inn was in sight and somehow Lee managed to outrun Mark at the last leg of the race.
"Well it looks like the old man can still beat you, huh Mark." Lee said smugly, breathing heavily.
"Beginners luck." Mark replied his face red and his glasses fogged up.
Lee looked up and saw that Lilly was on watch, her eyes scanning the forest like a hawk searching for prey. Lee whistled to get her attention. Lilly aimed the gun at them, but as soon as she saw who it was she put her gun down. Larry opened the gate for the two; his permanent scowl greeted them both. The rest of the group gathered around them; hoping that whatever news the brought was good.
"Well, what did you get?" Lilly asked grumpily.
"We managed to get the last of the canned food, and some painkillers. It should last us for a few more weeks." Lee said cheerfully.
"Well, I guess you did ok." Lilly replied, her mood lightening up a little.
"We have a surprise for everyone, we found this!" Mark yelled excitedly, holding up an old…
"Lee, is that a camera?" Clementine asked, startling Lee. Lee always wondered how she could sneak up on him.
"Yes sweet pea, that's called a Polaroid camera." Lee replied warmly.
"Well what's the use of it if we don't have a computer to save and print the pictures?" Clementine asked.
"Well, the camera prints the picture by itself silly. All you have to do is push the button, and the picture comes out." Lee said.
"Really, wow!" Clementine replied happily.
"Cool! I want to try. Can I take the picture Dad? Pleaseeee!" Ducks hyper voice bombarded Kenny.
"Alright hold on Duck, first we have to see if there's any photo left. Lee is there any photos left in there?" Kenny asked.
"Yeah, there are only four photos left though." Lee replied, a little bummed out. He was hoping that there would be a full roll left. Unfortunately Lee did not find any other rolls left at the pharmacy. So there would only be four photos for nine people.
"Well I could take the pictures if you want; I used to be a photographer before becoming a reporter." Carley said.
"That sounds great Carley." Lee replied.
Soon the groups were assembled next to the R.V. The first to go up was Kenny and his family. The next up was Larry and Lilly. Somehow Lilly managed to get Larry to smile for the camera. The next photo was a picture of Mark and Lilly. Mark insisted that airheads had to stick together. The last photo shoot was going to be Lee and Clementine.
"Wait! Can't Carley join us; she hasn't gotten a turn yet." Clementine asked.
"Yeah, come on Carley. Mark you can take the picture right?" Lee asked.
"Of course I can! What, do I look like a crippled? I still have both of my legs." Mark said jokingly.
Carley handed Mark the camera and stood next to Lee. Clementine snuggled in between them and held their hands. Lee glanced down and saw Clementine smiling brightly at him. Lee glanced to his left and Carley's gorgeous eyes met his. Mark started to count to three and took the picture. Clementine rushed toward Mark, nearly tackling Mark in the process. However disappointment was written all over her face.
"Awe, it didn't work." Clementine cried sadly, as she looked upon the blank picture.
"Just give it a few seconds Clem, you just have to wave it in the sun and… Tada! There's your photo." Mark replied happily. Before Clementine's eyes the photo began to emerge and soon she could see herself in the photo. Excitedly she thanked Mark and ran to Lee and Carley.
"Lee look, the camera worked. See?" Clementine exclaimed joyfully. Lee looked down and sure enough there it was. Mark surprisingly did a good job; his finger didn't cover the lens.
"It's a picture of our family, right Lee; you, me and Carley?" Clementine asked innocently as they walked to Carley's room. Her face was beaming with joy and happiness.
Lee glanced up to Carley, and saw her face turning a light pink. She looked at him nervously, as she was biting her lip. Lee couldn't help but smile and said "Of course we are sweet pea." At this Carley looked up surprised, yet happy. For a brief second their eyes locked together and they both shared a loving tender smile. As they arrived at the door to Carley's room, Lee took a step forward and embraced Carley in a long and gentle hug. Carley hugged him back as she rested her head on Lee's chest, while Lee rested his head on top of Carley's head. A cough interrupted this loving moment however, as Lee forgot about Clementine standing right behind him. Lee and Carley quickly took a step back away from each other as Clementine grinned mischievously.
"Lee Loooove's Carley. Lee wants to kiiiiss Carley. Lee wants to maaaary Carley. Lee wants to hake kiiiids with Carley. Lee wants…"
"Ugh…I should take a quick nap before I need to go on watch tonight… yeah" Lee said quickly, his face burning with embarrassment.
"Yeah, you do that. I have to take a quick shower anyway." Carley replied, even a blind man could tell she was embarrassed. Carley closed the door in a hurry while Lee started to walk to his room. Clementine skipped behind him, humming merrily.
"You love her, don't you?"
"Don't make me put you in time out!"
-End Flashback-
Lee's vision started to become blurry, his eyes full of tears. He tried to calm his nerves; trying to be strong not only for him but also for Clementine. However the feeling of failing his family, of losing the woman he loved, and of losing the bond which he shared with Clementine was too much for Lee. Lee is just a man, not superhuman. In that moment the dam that held back the tears began to crack, and a few tears managed to escape. They dropped like bombs on the photo Lee held; as his tears began to stain the photo. And in that moment, it happened.
Lee's heart shattered into a million pieces. The fragments so small it was beyond repair. The dam burst wide open and Lee, for the first time in year's cried. Lee cried for the loss of Carley and for the loss of his family; for the hopelessness of the situation that loomed before him. His sobs began to shake his body and Lee fell to his knees. Lee begged God for help, to give him a sign.
A small hand gently grabbed his shoulder, and a kind voice whispered "Please don't cry Lee. Everything will be ok."
As Lee looked up to see who it was, his sobs began to stop. Despite his blurry vision he would recognize that lucky baseball cap and those beautiful hazel brown eyes anywhere.
"C…Clementine?"
A/N: I'm back! Ok know so who missed me… anyone… anyone at all?
Ok, I'm so sorry for taking over a month to update. Know I know what you are all thinking, Dude where the hell have you been? I've been busy with school and there's only one computer at my house and I'm always the last one to get a turn because my younger brother and sister need it for school to do homework and projects. I'm going job hunting tomorrow at the outlets tomorrow; I really need to buy my own laptop. So hopefully when I have enough money, I will be able to buy a laptop and update quicker.
This was such a hard chapter to write yet the easiest at the same time. I pretty much recapped all the decisions I made when I played, that was the easy part. What was hard was trying to keep Carley in character. I tried to portray her in the most realistic manner as I could, and I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
