Is This My Happy Ending? Violet x clementine

Chapter 2: nice too meet you too...

       "Why hello there," the boy who was playing the piano says, turning to face me.

     "Uhh hi?" I question, standing up; Aj joins me.

    "Hey now don't be soooo on guard, I was only watching your little boy for ya" he smirks.

  I chuckle and roll my eyes, "suuuure and you did so well since he bit someone, but thanks"

"Hey now that was not my fault I wasn't expecting it" he shrugs nonchalantly, seeming to not care as he goes back to playing the piano.

"Names Louis by the way.." he says over his shoulder, as he plays the keys just on instinct alone. Almost as if he wasn't even trying to follow a specific tone.

The way he played was wild and all over the place, yet had a playful, fun sort of vibe.

               'Guess that's just the kinda guy he is.'I think to myself as I nod, "Clementine"

He smiles almost as if proud of himself, before a knowing look crosses his eyes, "ohhh and Marlon left your bag in here somewhere if you want it!"

I look around the room and my eyes land on Aj, he seems to not mind standing close to Louis. Which means he trusts him on some sort of level, which puts me at ease. I feel like Aj is better at reading people than me;
It's a helpful skill for survival.

I turn back to Louis, and I finally spot my bag on the floor at the side of a red couch. 'Seriously? On the floor?' I sigh and pick up my bag and begin to look through it. I need to make sure I didn't lose anything in the crash or to make sure no one here is a thief.

Luckily for them, everything was where it belonged, even Kenny's hat is in one piece. I hear Aj cough, and I look up to see him give me a knowing smile. I nod and pull his gun out from the bottom of my bag, "here you go, now it's back with its little sharpshooter!" I smile.

All of a sudden, the music stops and I hear Louis go, "Ummm!"
I smirk and give him a side glance.

"Don't even say anything, bet he could beat you in a shoot off any day Texas..." I half tease.

"Hell no, I'd give the boy a run for his money!" He defends smiling.

He seems nice enough, but in this world being nice just gets you killed. Seems like we could be close though....but I don't know we don't seem very compatible if it were to come to serious situations. This world you need to be able to step up when need be. He seems most likely to die first in my book (sorry I really like Louis and I don't mean to hate on him, but I'm team violetine!)

He goes back to playing the piano, probably sensing the mood in the room change to more of a...well tense one.

"Geez don't you know any others," I say

"I do, but if your anything like your boy, you may kill me." He smirks and I growl under my breath a little, trying to not hold his teasing against him.

After all, I was just teasing him. He shrugs and starts playing a different tone, only this one I recognized as one my mom would play to me when I was young.

"Ohhhh my darling ohhh my darling...ooooh my darling Clementine!" He starts singing and I feel my heart tighten as I listen.

I sadly look to the ground, she use to love this song; mom did. That's why I was named after it.

I end up falling back into some memories, most vivid being where mom was singing this to me; getting me ready for my first day of kindergarten. I could practically hear her voice.

"You are lost and gone forever" she sings as she braids my brown hair back, to keep my hair out of my face.

"Dreadful sorry Clementine..." I feel her laughing at one of dads joke as he was making breakfast that morning, he was attempting to make her mess up. Yet, she never lost her tone.

"Light she was and like a fairy... and her shooooes were number 9" mom finishes my hair; she continues to sing as she makes her way to my dad. Then, they began dancing in the kitchen. I laughed at their goofiness, not realizing just how much I would miss it.

"Herring boxes without topses" mom and dad walk me to the door and gave me a hug goodbye...oh how I wish I could have had more time...

I am snapped out of memory lane though, as Louis sings the last line "Sandals were for Clementine!"

"Y-you alright Clementine..." Aj asks, and only then do I realize. Somewhere along the line, I had a tear slide down my face.

Before Louis could notice, I wiped it from my face and smile. I kneeled down and ruffled Aj's hair, "of course I am goofball, why wouldn't I!"

I look at Louis, who just looked flat-out confused, "I've heard better" I shrug as I let my face fall into a grimace.

The door opens and Marlon walks in, "hey! do you know where Rosie is?!" He asks looking at Louis.

"Uhhh sorry...no haven't seen her" he responded, still kinda off.

"Damn it! Uhh hey...I know you just came to and all, but think you could help with some deadheads?" He asks me

I smile and give a little nod, "good, we could use all the help we can get!" he says and we all make our way back into the courtyard.

As we make it to the gate, a kid says from on top of the fence in a wooden tower," Walkers a whole swarm of them!"

"Damn that's a lot of walkers..." Louis says looking out through the gate.

I stop in my tracks, as I see the girl who was watching me earlier. There was no denying it, she was the blond girl from the memory book I found. Only she now has shorter hair, and she seems to have a more tempered aura around her, plenty different from how she was in the photos. Yet, I ain't surprised people all around go through shit, you don't ever remain the same. Even more so in this fucked up world.

She looks at me, at first with what seemed to be curiosity and a hint of relief. She quickly changes though and gives a glare to me before turning to face the fence, "yea there's a whole bunch. It is almost as if I don't know... they were lured here by an explosion, and a car crash..." she says over her shoulder.

"I don't believe we have met my names Clementine, and may I say the pleasure is all mine..." I say sarcastically, and she gives me a little smirk.

"Hi Clementine, I'm Violet... nice to meet you?" Louis urges, but he really didn't need to. She was kinda refreshing to have around, not fake.

"What he said" she shrugs looking at the fence, making Louis give her a disapproving shake of his head. He kinda looked like a disapproving father.

The way they act made me laugh. She made quite the impression that day,  Violet did.

"The hunting party is coming back, we need to help them" Marlon yells.

"Better be useful!" Violet says to me.

I chuckle, "trust me don't worry about me..."
