It was late. There were three bedrooms to the house, and the couch. Me and Clementine shared a bedroom, while Nick and Luke shared the one next door. Everyone else crammed their sleeping bags in, or took the couch or the other bedroom.
I couldn't sleep. I could sense that Clementine was up, too. I was thinking about what happened before...with Luke.
I couldn't have that happen. I can't have a lover. He'll die because of me. Everything would be ruined. You can't have that kind of stuff while the world is ending. I can't grow too close to anyone.
Clementine turned around, and I could sense her looking at me. I spin my head around and look at her. "What's up?" I ask her. I should probably make conversation before things get awkward, just like things always do.
"What was up with that guy - Jayden?" She asks me. I immediately knew what she was talking about. When I said that stuff that she probably wouldn't understand. Yet. But somebody has to tell her. But it wouldn't be me.
"He was crazy. You have to understand that he did bad things to people," I tell her. She nods. "I know what he probably did. I understand...," She turns back around and closes her eyes.
I roll around too, and eventually fall asleep.
I woke up, and everything was peaceful. Clementine was gone. Everyone was probably up. But I couldn't get up. I was too nervous to. Things would be so awkward - especially between me and Luke. Damn it, maybe I should just take off. Just leave without telling anyone.
I turn my head to look at the window, which was cracked open a bit. I get up and grab my bow and arrow, which was leaned up against the wall beside my bed. I walk to the window as I heard the door open behind me.
I spin around quickly to see Kenny standing there, looking slightly angry. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He walks up to me, clenching his fists. "Uh, I was going to find food," I croak. I didn't want to hurt Kenny. I didn't want to get angry with him since Clementine knew him. I didn't want her to get angry with me.
"Yeah. Sure. We're you fucking leaving us?" He exclaimed.
"Just walk away, Kenny," I say. I was really going to get angry. "I wasn't doing anything."
He stares at me for a moment, then walks out of the room icily.
