And here we go!
Dave parked the car at the front of the hospital, turned the keys, and climbed out. He shut the door before running all the way around to the passengers side to let Clementine out. When he opened the door, she looked at him with a big grin plastered on her small face.
"ya feelin up for it? I can asure you this is a hell of a lot better than Carlos could ever give you." Dave joked, extending his hand.
Clementine giggled. Although she looked saddened at the Rembrance of her friends death.
"just another death that... You guys could've prevented." She mumbled, but the inviting expression on Daves face was to much.
She took his hand and let him help her out.
...
Scott and stormed back to the front doors of telltale. Seething with anger. Gavin saw him coming, and together they opened the door.
people rushed forwards as to ask questions, but the glare of annoyance Scott gave them was a little to much. Some stepped back.
"I can't believe how fucking HEARTLESS you people are. Just go home!"
they hesitated. People looked at each other in uncertainty. Soft murmuring broke out among the individuals. Some who didn't want to leave until they got what they need end for their stories.
"Get the FUCK OUTTA HERE!"
People nervously scrambled towards the doors.
Scott widened his eys and glanced over to the far door.
Chuck Kourouklis stood smiling in the far doorway. He winked at Scott and Gavin.
"hey, thanks old man." Gavin smiled.
...
"alright, Clementine is it? Please come in."
Clementine stood up from her chair in the waiting room of the hospital, where she was sitting next to Dave. Dave followed in suit, placing his 'Gamerz Digezt' magazine aside.
Clementine covered her bullet wound with the blanket to attempt to avoid drawing attention. Although she had unknowingly reopened it, and people were giving her second glances as she walked by. The blood was slowly leaking through.
Dave, as casually as he could, wrapped his arm around her shoulder and covered the wound and the blood with his hand. Clementine leaned into him on insticnt.
"Alright... I'm guessing this is your daughter, Mr. Fennoy? You never mentioned her to me If she is"
Clementine tensed.
Dave was about to answer, before Clementne cut in.
"yea... Something like that. In a complicated way, we are."
Dave felt touched.
The doctor raised a brow in confusion.
Its alright, as long as Dave understood what she meant, they were fine.
The doctor hesitated, before slowly turning around and leading the pair down the hall. He opened the door and allowed them to step inside.
Clementine looked confused. It had been awhile since she had done anything relatively.. Normal. like go to a doctors office. She nervously hopped on the table as he shut the door behind them.
"so, what seems to be the issue?"
Clementine breathed out, pulled the blanket off and tossed it aside, before revealong her bullet wound .
The doctors eyes went wide and he dropped his clipboard.
"oh, Jesus! What happened!? Goddamn, were you shot?!"
Clemntine grimaced in pain and nodded.
The doctor grabbed some medical supplies that Clementine couldn't identify and he raced to her side.
"how the hell did this happen?!"
Nobody responded.
"oh, so everyday a little girl gets shot and it's just part of our daily lives? The fuck happened!"
Dave didn't know what to say.
"it-it was a shooting accident, Le-Dave was teaching me how to shoot." Clementine tried.
"and he just shot you? It was an accident? Is he even your legal guardian?"
Clementine hesitated, thinking of her mother and father.
"... Yes, he is."
The doctor did some things to her shoulder, before stepping back. He instructed her to remove her coat to get a better look at the damage.
"Listen, kid. But this is a bigger deal than you think it is, apperantly, to you, this happens a lot. I might need to alert child services or something like that if you don't tell me what happened."
Dave grabbed the mans arm.
"Come with me for a second, sir. I can explain."
Clementine tossed her coat beside her before turning to nervously watch Dave lead the doctor into the next room.
"don't worry, sweat pea. We'll be right back."
...
Gavin entered the break room and immediatly started clearing everything out. He pulled the couch over more and lay a blanket and pillows down on it, making sure everything was comfortable. He pulled the other chair over next to the couch to make sure if someone wanted to sit with her, they were enabled to.
"Gavin, what are you doing?"
Gavin looked up from his work to see Melissa standing in the doorway
"I'm making sure everything is nice for Clem When she comes back. She has to stay here for the rest of the day, anyway. Tonight we'll decide where she will stay."
...
Clementine ran her fingers over her newly bandaged shoulder. The cloth was thick and stiff, but it felt nice and it stayed snug on her shoulder.
Dave walked beside her as they exited the ER. It had taken a bit, but they finally managed to get her checked out without further questioning.
"Lee? How did you get him to help us?" Clementine asked.
Dave smiled when she called him a Lee. It made him feel proud.
"ah, just explained to him some things. And made a few points."
Clementine nodded.
In her other hand she carried her blue coat. It dragged along the asphalt as they walked, and it was making a heck of a racket. The bloodstain was still evident on the left shoulder.
"Hey, want me to carry that for you? We'll get it washed, besides, you probably won't need it here in California."
Clementnes eyes widened.
"were in California?"
Dave nodded in amusement.
Clementine glanced around herself in awe. Her little pigtails bouncing.
"that's cool!" She said, her voice cracked.
Dave laughed.
Clementine looked embarrased. She handed Dave her jacket and scratched the back of her neck.
"Er, I mean... That's nice," she corrected her self, keeping her head down.
Dave frowned and bent down, kneeling on his knees. He grabbed her shoulder and spun her around.
She turned and made eye contact with him. Looking confused.
"Look Clementine, your safe now." He said. "I don't know if this is a limited time thing, but during this time I have with you, it's... Okay to act your age. There is nothing wrong with being a kid."
Clementine looked down and didn't respond.
"do you understand?"
She nodded. But didn't look up.
Dave waited.
"yeah... I know."
"Then what's wrong?"
Clementine looked up at Dave. Sadness filled her gaze.
"... I don't know how."
