"Fucked Up Sweethearts." (TWDG Marlon Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

***

I woke up to the sound of yelling coming through the pipes.

I couldn't tell who was doing the yelling though, and I also couldn't tell what was being said.

I looked over to see if Mitch had woken up as well, but he hadn't, so I quietly sat up and got out of the bed, then crept over to the door. Just before I was about to open it, Mitch's voice startled me.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see what's going on. It sounds like people are fighting." I respond to him before opening the door.

Mitch groaned before sleepily responding to me, "Close the door on your way out."

I laughed to myself before walking out and closing the door behind me quietly.

I looked both ways down the hallway and tried to listen for which way the yelling was coming from. Once I figured it out, I headed down the hallway and continued to try and follow the sound.

I continued down the long hall, only making a turn or two before I finally found the door in which the yelling was coming from. I reached my hand out and placed it on the door knob and went to turn it, but it was locked.

"Aubrey?" A voice said from behind me, which startled me. I turned around to see who it was, and it was Clementine.

"What are you doing up? Did the yelling wake you too?" She asked me. I nodded in response.

"Yeah. It sounds like it's coming from down there, but the door is locked." I told her.

Clem looked away from me and at the door, then walking up to it and putting her ear against it, listening to the voices going back and forth.

"It sounds like Marlon and Brody." She said to me as she looked over at me.

I was a bit confused since I didn't know why they would be arguing like this this late at night either.

"I'm pretty sure this door leads to the basement." Clementine added, getting a look on her face as if she was thinking. I then remembered something.

"I'm pretty sure I seen them talking over by the cellar door out on campus. We can try that." I said to Clem before turning and walking away from the door and out onto campus quietly with Clementine following closely behind.

As I was walking, I couldn't help but to let my anxiety and paranoia take over my mind. I started thinking of all of the things that Marlon and Brody could be fighting about right now.

'What if they were actually together and they were fighting about the things that were happening between Marlon and I?'

'Maybe they were fighting over the raider guy that Clementine pushed into the walkers?'

'What if they knew him?'

'Was he going to come and attack us?'

'What if they're arguing because they don't want me here anymore?'
