Can't Help Falling in Love With You

Chapter 33: Hunting Trip

January 17th, 2025

As I woke up I felt Y/N's arms around me. I looked at him, noticing he was still asleep.

Clem-" Y/N."

No response. Then I heard a knock on our door.

Clem-" Yes?"

Gracie-" Can I come in?"

Clem-" Hold on Gracie."

I slid out and got dressed. Then I opened the door.

Clem-" What's up?"

Gracie-" Can we talk?" She said nervously.

Clem-" About what?"

Gracie-" Umm can we go to my room?"

Clem-" Sure."

I followed Gracie into her room and she laid on her bed. I sat on the bottom of her bed.

Clem-" So. What do you want to talk about?"

Gracie-" AJ..."

Clem-" What about him?" I said with worry.

Gracie-" He makes me feel... I don't know. My stomach feels weird but good at the same time."

Clem-" Oh. Well, what do you like about him?"

Gracie-" Well I like when he makes me laugh and when he talks to me."

Clem-" That's how I felt with Y/N." I smiled.

Gracie-" What did you do?"

Clem-" Well it took him a while to ask me out. After that, he lived with my family and me, And he eventually moved in but that was before everything collapsed. Since then our relationship has been... rocky."

Gracie-" When will AJ ask me out?"

Clem-" I don't know. You two are young. Also, you have to ask your dad. I don't want to tell you something he doesn't like."

Gracie-" Okay."

Then Y/N knocked on the door frame. I turned around looking at him leaning on the door frame.

Y/N-" What's going on here?"

Clem-" Gracie and I are just talking." I smiled.

Y/N-" About?"

Gracie-" Nothing!"

Y/N-" Oh. Well alright."

He walked down the stairs and I got up. Gracie then grabbed my hand.

Gracie-" Don't tell anyone. Please?"

Clem-" Of course Gracie. You can trust me."

Gracie-" Thank you." She then stopped holding my hand.

Then I left the room and walked downstairs and saw Y/N talking to someone. He closed the door after the person left.

Clem-" Who was that?"

Y/N-" It was Alden. He wants me and our friends to search the area for some food."

Clem-" And you're going?"

Y/N-" Why wouldn't I?" He said walking upstairs.

Clem-" Because you'll be leaving your pregnant girlfriend with five kids."

He picked his bag up and grabbed his sledgehammer and pistol.

Y/N-" Well Alexandria needs food for a bunch of families, Clem."
