Twdg Fanfiction - Second Chance

Chapter 24 - On The Road

They left in the morning, it was really cold and most of them didn't have jackets.

Rebecca still isn't doing so good and she looks like she's getting worse.

Maybe we should of stayed a little longer but, it's too late to change our minds now.

Nick was lost in thought and in the back of the group.

“Nick?”

He thought it was Clementine but, it was Luke.

“Oh, hey Luke.”

“Hey man, I know you're mad at me too but…”

Nick looked at him as he was talking.

“...I messed up, I know that but, can't you forgive me?”

“You put the whole group in danger and got Sarah killed.” Nick said with an angry look on his face.

“Wait...you think her death is my fault?”

“No...it not all your fault...I should of tried harder, I failed to save her.”

“Nick, it's not your fault.”

Nick got sad and looked down.

Luke put his hand on Nick's shoulder. Nick looked up at him.

“I'm not really mad at you, I'm more mad at myself...I forgive you, Luke.”

Luke takes his hand off Nick's shoulder.

“Really?”

Nick smiles and nods his head.

Luke smiled back at him and walked back to the front of the group.

Nick walked up to the front of the group too.

He walked next to Clementine.

“Hey, Clem.”

“Hi, Nick...are you okay?”

Nick smiled “I'm okay…everything is fine.”

Clementine nods her head.

-----------------------------------------------------

-A few minutes later -

It's getting even colder.

Kenny was walking in the front and Luke was behind him. Nick and Clem were walking beside each other behind Luke. Bonnie was helping Rebecca and Mike was walking in the back.

Rebecca fell down and Bonnie helped her up.

“You alright?”

“She’s exhausted, we all are.” Luke said as he looked back at Kenny.

Kenny just looked at Luke with an angry look.

“I can keep going.”

Rebecca and Bonnie walked pass Luke, Bonnie had a worried look on her face.

They all started to walk again.

“We shoulda stayed put until she was in better shape.”

“She wasn't gonna get no better back there. We gotta find food, get her someplace warm.”

“This look like someplace warm to you?”

Clementine looked at Rebecca for a second.

“We could still turn back.”

“That's not an option.”

Clementine looked back at Kenny.

“Everybody hang in there. We gotta keep movin’ if we're gonna make it to that town before nightfall.”

“You don't even listen to anyone else. You just go on barkin’ orders. You gotta lighten up, ok? You're pushing em’ too hard.”

“I'm just doin’ what has to be done. Like always, keepin’ people alive.”

“Kenny’s right, we have to keep going.”

“Ok, I guess. Of course I'd expect you to say that, seein’ as how you agreed with him last night.”

Nick gave Luke an angry look.

Of course she agreed with him, we couldn't stay there.

Clementine got a sad look. And Rebecca fell again, almost dropping the baby too.

The baby starts crying, Clem and Bonnie both get a worried look.

“Over here, there's a place to sit.” Mike said as he pointed to a tire.

Clementine turned around, Bonnie helped Rebecca up again.

“Rebecca, let me take the baby.”

Bonnie helped Rebecca down on the tire.

“It's okay, I've got him.”

“No, you rest for a minute, I'II watch him.”

“Back off, Kenny. She said she doesn't want you to take the baby. Don't be weird about it, ok?”

“I ain't being weird about it.”

“Yeah, you kinda have been. And not just right now.”

“Kenny knows what he's doing. He’s been a dad before.”

“That's not the part I was concerned about.”

“Hello!?”

Everyone turns around.

Who the hell is that?
