Alive Inside- A Clementine x Male Reader The Walking Dead Story (Choice Based)

Chapter 16A

Choice A "Defend against Louis"
________________

"Louis just back off, okay? We don't need to do this right now," You say calmly, hoping to just get this all over with.

Louis scoffs and glares back at you.

"Back off!? You want me to back off? That kid just shot my best friend! How do I just back off?!" He says angrily.

"Look, I tried to stop him from shooting.. If it wasn't for me, Marlon might not even be alive right now!" You reply, getting a bit fed up.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better? We talked Marlon down! The fight was over! He can't just shoot someone who isn't a threat anymore!" Louis replies.

"Hey, we get it... Just let them pass. We'll deal with this later," Violet says as she raises her cleaver a bit.

Louis looks over to her for a moment before looking back to you and Clementine. He shakes his head and starts to walk away.

Violet turns back to you.

"Go. I'll keep them away," she says calmly. You nod your head and the three of you start to make your way to the dorm.

You enter the building and start walking down the hallway towards your room in silence. You weren't really sure what to say to them after all of that.

You reach your room and you open the door. You head over to your bed and collapse onto it. You feel a stinging pain in your arm as you lay down.

"Damnit," you say frustratedly, as you sit back up.

You look over to your patched up arm to see blood leaking through your bandage. Looks like your fight with Marlon opened your wound again.

You start to roll your sleeve up and unwrap the bandage.

"You okay?" You hear Clementine ask from her bed.

You look over to her and nod your head.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just bleeding a bit after that fight out there," you reply. You take the bandage off and grab a new one from the first aid kit on the drawer.

You start to attempt to wrap it around your arm, but realize this would be difficult with just one hand...

You see Clementine stand up and start to walk over to you.

"Hey, let me help you with that," she says. You scoot over and make room for her next to you.

Clem sits down next to you and picks up the bandage. She starts to wrap it around your arm, and you look over to her.

"How's your arm?" She asks. You shrug and look towards the bandage she was wrapping around you.

"Still hurts. Fighting Marlon out there messed it up pretty badly..." you answer. Clem nods her head and you see her expression change to a worried look.

"...How are you feeling about everything that happened?" You ask slowly.

"I'm...okay...Getting locked down in the basement with Brody was scary.. but I think I'm alright now," she replies. You glance over at AJ who was sitting on the bed.

You sigh and look away, figuring it would be best to avoid talking about what he did for now.

Clementine finishes wrapping your arm up and she looks back to you.

"Okay, you should be good now," she says with a weak smile. You nod your head as she stands up.

"Thanks," you reply.

Clementine walks back over to her bed and you lay back down, trying to get comfortable.

After a few minutes, you feel yourself start to drift off. You were dreading tomorrow and what the rest of the kids thought about you...
