Y/N POV

Me and Clem just had to jump into a river to avoid strangers who caught Carley and Christa. I hope they're alight and I hope we find the soon. I wash up on the shore.

Y/N: Uhhhh!

I look around and don't see anybody.

Y/N: Clem?! Mom?! Christa?!

I get up and start to walk along the shoreline to look for them. I start to get worried. I just confessed to Clem and I can't lose her now and I need her and mom to keep going.

Y/N: Guys?!

I walk for a few minutes and notice Clem half in the water and unconscious.

Y/N: CLEM!

I run up to her and drag her out of the water and turn her over to see her beautiful pale face.

Y/N: You're gonna be okay Clem I promise.

I check to see if she has a pulse and she does.

Y/N: Thank god!

I then do what Carley showed me and start performing CPR on Clem and after a few seconds she wakes up and coughs up water.

Y/N: Clem!

Clem: Y/N?

Y/N: I'm here honey.

Clem: What happened?

Y/N: After we jumped we must've passed out. I just woke up.

Clem: Ahhh!

Y/N: What is it?

Clem: Hurts.

Y/N: I know Clem but we have to get up and look for mom and Christa.

Clem: I'm so dizzy.

Y/N: Can you walk?

Clem: I think so.

I help Clem stand up.

Clem: Here's your sweater.

Y/N: Thanks.

I rinse it the best I can and I get it so it's a little damp so I tie it around my waist.

We walk up to a sign that says.

YOU MAY ENCOUNTER:

BLACK BEARS

COYOTES

MOUNTAIN LIONS

POISONOUS SNAKES

OR OTHER SPECIES

I hold Clem closer as we make our way to a broken staircase. I easily climb it, being 5'4 at 13 has it's uses.

Y/N: Come on shorty.

Clem: When I get up there I'm gonna smack you.

Y/N: Well in order for that to happen you need my help getting up.

Clem: Just help me up you dork.

Y/N: Fine since I love you.

Clem: Sure seems like it.

I pull Clem up and expect a slap but instead Clem pulls me into a hug and kisses me on the lips.

Clem: I'm glad you're okay.

Y/N: I'm glad you're okay to my precious fruit.

We then walk through a trail in the woods and I hold Clem close.

Y/N: I've been thinking and about last night?

Clem: What about it?

Y/N: Well we confessed our feelings to one another and we kissed so. Wouldn't that make us boyfriend and girlfriend?

Clem: I think so.

Y/N: I'm glad to have you as my girlfriend Clem.

Clem: I'm glad to have you as my boyfriend Y/N.

I smile then kiss her forehead.

We continue walking, eventually hearing the bushes rustle, discovering a dog. it growls at us.

Y/N: Easy boy!

Clem: (checks collar) "Sam". Well, nice to meet you, Sam.

Sam walks a short distance away and sniffs the ground.

Clem: What's he doing?

Y/N: Dog stuff.

Sam barks and runs off.

Clem: Sam. Sam!

Y/N: Where are you going? Wait up!

Clem and I follow Sam to a campsite.

Campsite

Clem: Hello?! Looks pretty run over, but you never know. Let's look around for some food.

Y/N: Alright but stay close to me.

Clem: Okay.

Y/N: Ah fuck me! Goddammit!

Clem: What?

Y/N: I forgot Chuck's guitar at the camp site.

Clem walks up to me and caresses my cheek.

Clem: Don't worry you can still sing for me.

Y/N: I guess.

Clem: Don't worry Teddy bear. We'll find another one.

Clem goes to a van and I walk over and see a walker tied to a tree.

Y/N: Poor bastard.

I stab him in the head.

Clem: Y/N!

I run over.

Y/N: Are you okay?

Clem: Yeah look what I found!

Clem shows me a can of beans non spoiled.

Y/N: Good find Clem!

Clem: Thanks Teddy bear. Now i need a knife to open it with.

Y/N: Here.

I hand her my knife.

Clem: Okay let's eat.

Me and Clem sit on a log and Clem and start to eat. She takes a bite then i take one then Sam walks up to us and starts to whine.

Clem: I guess you're pretty hungry too.

Clem holds out some of the food.

Clem: Here ya go.

Sam lunges at her hand and she drops the can. He tries to eat the beans from the can.

Clem: Hey, don't eat it all.

Clem picks up the can.

Sam jumps up and bites Clem's arm, dragging her to the ground. I then pick my knife off the ground and stab it in the neck.

Y/N: CLEM!

I run over to her and she's holding her arm and starts crying.

Y/N: Honey, I need to see how bad it is.

Clem rolls down her sleeve and whimpers in pain.

Y/N: That could get infected. We need to get you something for it.

Clem then rolls down her sleeve and buries her head into my chest and sobs.

Y/N: I know honey bun, I know.

Clem: [crying] It hurts so much!

I kiss her forehead.

Y/N: Lemme carry you.

I pick her up bridal style and I carry her through the woods.

Y/N: I'm sorry Clem. I could've been faster.

Clem: [crying] Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.

Y/N: I wish it bit me instead of you.

Clem: [crying] Don't say that.

Y/N: No Clem. I don't want you to get hurt and if I have to to prevent you from then it's worth it.
