Y/N POV

Clem, Me, Carley and Christa sit on logs in the rain. Clem is now 11, I'm 13 and Carley is 25. We're trying to keep a fire lit but the rain is being a bitch. Christa also... lost her baby.

Clem: Christa, talk to us.

Y/N: Yeah, come on.

Ever since Omid died Christa has drastically changed and her losing her baby only made things worse.

Christa sighs, stands up, and tends to the fire.

Christa: This'll never work. Look at this, it's pathetic. The wood's too wet to burn. There's more smoke than flame. At this rate, we'll be eating this for breakfast.

Clem: What else can we do?

Christa: Find something that'll burn, maybe. I dunno. Won't be easy in the dark and in the rain. You two should be doing this, not me. Tending a fire so you can cook and stay warm. It's something you have to be able to do, Clementine, Y/N Otherwise...

Carley: Give them a break Christa.

Clem: We can't build a big fire at night. It attracts too much attention. It's too dangerous when we're out here by ourselves.

Carley: She's right we can't attract any attention.

Christa: We need to eat, don't we? We can't survive without food.

Clem wraps her arms around herself.

Clem: I'm freezing.

Y/N: You should of told me sooner.

I take off my Master Of Puppets sweater and hand it to her. She was hesitant to take it.

Y/N: Clem please take it.

Clem takes it and puts it on.

Y/N: My little Rockstar.

Clem smiles.

Clem: What about you?

Y/N: I have you to keep me warm.

Clem blushes.

Clem: Quiet dork.

I smile and wrap an arm around her and snuggle into her.

Christa: You think this is bad, wait 'til we get up to Wellington, then talk to me about cold. If we make it. We still have a couple hard months ahead of us. This rain will turn to sleet, then ice, then snow. It won't be easy.

Carley: We can do it. My babies are strong.

Me and Clem smile.

Clem: Is it safe there?

Christa: Safer than here because of the cold. or so they say. We just need to keep moving north.

Carley: Sure as hell can't stay here.

Clem: I miss Lee.

Y/N: Me too honey bun.

Christa: I'm sure you both do. (sighs) I'm gonna go look for more wood with Carley. You two just keep the fire lit.

Carley was about to leave but I run up to her.

Carley: Yeah babe?

Y/N: I think I'm gonna confess my crush to Clem.

Carley smiles and pulls me into a hug.

Carley: Go for it kiddo. I know she'll like you back.

Y/N: Okay mom.

We kiss on the lips and I grab her butt tightly.

Carley: [moan] Uhhh.

Y/N: My favourite sound.
