Clementine's POV

I just woke up from another nightmare. I was shaking. I felt tears coming down my face.

???: Clem? Are you okay?

I look over to Louis, he was sleeping with me.

Clementine: I'm fine. It's just another nightmare.

Louis: What was it about?

Clementine: Y/N.....

Louis: Your protector?

Clementine: Yeah..... My Protector.

Louis: I'm so sorry about that.

Clementine: It's my fault....

Louis: What are you talking about?

Clementine: It's my fault Y/N died.

Louis: Clem.....

Clementine: I ran off, I got him bit. I feel guilty as well. Because he is suffering as a walker.

I felt tears coming down my face.

Clementine: Even if it was his wish for me to leave him, I could have just shot him, made sure he wouldn't turn. But I didn't.

I now started crying. Louis pulled me into a hug.

Louis: It wasn't your fault. I don't know him like you do, but I'm pretty sure he would be very proud of you. Of what you became.

Clementine: I miss him.

Louis: He seems like a cool guy to meet.

I was starting to feel better.

Clementine: Thanks for being here Louis.

Louis: Anytime.

We kiss each other.

Louis: Should we get up?

Clementine: Yeah.

We get up. I see AJ not in his bed. Which means he's up. Me and Louis split when we get outside. I see AJ.

Clementine: Hey Goofball.

AJ sees me.

AJ: Clem! I told you not to call me that anymore!

Clementine: Sorry, won't happen.

AJ: It's nice to see you getting used to the wooden leg.

I look down at my wooden leg.

Clementine: I do. Thanks again AJ.

AJ smiles.

AJ: Of course.

I see Violet, she sees me too.

Violet: You're up. Were you and Louis having some alone time?

Clementine: Not in a weird way Vi.

Violet: Just teasing. You two are dating, I see no reason for you two to not do it.

I smile.

Violet: Anyways, the boys are hunting, while the girls are fishing.

Clementine: So that's why it looks empty here.

Violet: Pretty much, me, you, Louis, and AJ have breaks today.

Clementine: That's nice to hear.

Violet: The four of us could hang out.

Clementine: That sounds nice as well.

Violet: So yes?

Clementine: Yeah.

I enjoyed my free day. I rarely get those. But I still couldn't get my nightmare out of my head.
