A teenage girl stood in a restaurant's kitchen cleaning plates, cups and other items you would find to clean in a kitchen.
All of a sudden her phone started vibrating in her pocket, she reached in her pocket pulling out her phone revealing the caller to be labelled "Uncle Kenny" she pressed the answer button placing the phone to her ear.
"Hey what's going on?" silence filled the call for a few seconds before the man said "Hey kiddo shit how do I say this... Lee's cancer is... worse
The girl nearly dropped the phone with a stunned look on her face.
"Clem? Clementine you there?" The phone erupted with the sound of Kenny's voice once again.
"Yea I'm here..."
"Get to the hospital the doctors say he only has like, a day to live?" Kenny said over the phone.
"Okay, I'm on my way" Before Kenny could say anything else Clementine pressed the red button on the screen of her phone closing the call.
Clementine shoved her phone in her pocket hastily and made her way to her manager's office.
She raised her fist and knocked on the door waiting until a faint "come in" could be heard, she entered the office with her head hanging low.
"What do you need, Clem?" her manager Omid asked "Lees in the hospital... Can I be relieved of my shift a little early?"
Omid had his usual smirk change to a frown, he had known Clementine since she was 8 and had become friends with Lee for a while.
"Of course Clem, take as long as you need."That's all Clem had to hear before she left the room quickly went outside to her car before she drove to Atlanta Memorial Hospital.
289 words, damn that's a lot, this might be one of my biggest yet. Well here's the prologue, enjoy.
