Y/N's POV

I had a candle as we were walking to our room. Lee and Carley had their own room. Kenny, Sarita, and Duck shared a room.

Y/N: This is it.

We walk in, I close the door, AJ looks at the window.

AJ: This window looks safe.

Clementine: It does.

AJ: Good.

Me and Clem walk to the nightstand and put our hats down.

AJ: This box has so many colors.

Y/N: Well, must have been an artist living in here.

AJ: What's an artist?

Clementine: It's like a person who colors a lot. Draws. Does pictures.

AJ: Like Tenn?

Y/N: Like Tenn.

AJ: I like to do pictures too.

He then got a colored pencil and started drawing. Me and Clem smiled at the sight. We love it when he acts like a kid. The door opens, we look to see Violet.

Violet: Oh. Shit. I didn't know Marlon set you up in this room.

She comes in and walks to the closet.

Violet: I just wanted to grab something. From the closet.

She looks around in there.

Violet: Where the hell is it?

She turns around.

Violet: Oh.

Y/N: What?

Violet: That's what i'm looking for.

She points to the box of colors.

Violet: It belonged to Sophie. Uh... Tenn's sister. He was asking for more art supplies and stuff, so I was going to...

Clementine: Oh! Sorry, we didn't know.

Violet: No, no, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Honestly, it's just been sitting here for the past year and no one's touched it. If AJ wants to play with it, it's...it's fine.

Clementine: You should probably give it back.

Y/N: She's right. It doesn't belong to us.

AJ nods.

Violet: Thanks, buddy. It's just that Tenn wanted it, since it was his sister's and all.

AJ: It's okay.

Violet: You can finish your drawing, though. I don't mind.

Violet then looks at us.

Violet: I see you two are, um...settling in.

Y/N: Yeah. Is that okay?

Violet: Sure. I guess.

She walks to the bed on the left side and leans against it.

Violet: I always liked this room. Sophie had, like, paintings and shit on the walls. Lots of color. And Minerva...she was really musical. No like Louis, though...she had actual talent.

Me and Clem laugh at that.

Violet: She had the most amazing voice. Real bluesy. Marlon's always joked that he would scavenge a guitar and the two of them would tour the country. That was a long time ago. After they...afterwards, Brody and Tenn took down all the paintings. And that was the end of it. I shouldn't have even brought it up. It's not a good memory. Guess I just lost my train of thought.

Clementine: They sound like they were good friends.

Violet: Yeah, Sophie was a good friend. and Minnie... Uh... We were close. Me and her.

Y/N: What happened to them? If you don't mind me asking.

Violet: They went scavenging with Marlon and Brody out past the safe zone. Didn't make it back. It happens. Honestly, I just miss having someone around to talk to. There's just to many dudes. This place can get a little too bro-town for my liking sometimes. And I'm not exactly, like...a people person. You know? I know I sometimes have a habit...have a habit of being a little bit too harsh.

Y/N: I get it. In a world like this, it's hard to find people to trust. There's a lot of bad people, it's hard for us to trust people sometimes.

Clementine: Yeah. Sometimes when we trust the wrong people, we pay for it.

AJ: Hey, guys. I'm an artist now.

AJ shows me and Clem the drawing.

Violet: I should be getting back. Thanks again for the box. You're pretty cool, AJ.

She takes the box and walks to the door.

Violet: See you guys.

Clem: See ya.

Y/N: Bye.

She leaves.

Clementine: Time for bed AJ.

AJ: Okay.

I hang the picture he made on the wall. We then see AJ off of the chair.

Y/N: AJ?

Clem finds him laying under the bed on the right side of the room.

Clementine: What are you doing down there?

AJ: This is where i'm sleeping.

Y/N: No, it's not.

AJ: It's safe under here, no one can get me.

Clementine: C'mon, AJ. The bed is way better.

Clem starts to feel the bed.

Clementine: Oh, man, this bed is sooooo comfy.

AJ: What about the door? What if someone comes in? What if they try to hurt us? What if they steal our stuff? If I stay here, no one can find me, and I can keep guard and watch over both of you. I can protect us.

Y/N: What's gotten into you?

AJ: Please, guys? It's not so bad down here. I'll be okay. I promise.

Y/N: It's gonna be okay. Please give the bed a chance. It's soft and warm. I think you'll really like it.

AJ gets out from under the bed and gets into the bed.

AJ: This bed is really soft.

Y/N: Told you.

Clementine: Goodnight , AJ.

Clem gets into the other bed, I do too.

AJ: Guys?

Y/N: What's up?

AJ: I'm glad we're not sleeping in the car anymore.

Clementine: Yeah, me too.

Y/N: Agreed.

AJ falls asleep. Clem then snuggles onto me.

Clementine: Goodnight Y/N.

She kisses my cheek. I turn around to face her.

Y/N: Goodnight Clem.

I give her a quick kiss on the lips, she lays on my chest as we start to cuddle. We go to sleep.
