Y/N POV

After figuring out Carver is the man who came to the house we had to leave.

Luke: Now, you said it was just up here?

Y/N: Yeah. Just a little ways.

Rebecca: Hey, Y/N, sorry if I gave you some shit back there, I'm just a little on edge. I still don't like what you did, sneakin' around on us and taking advantage of my husband. But I know you were in a tough spot. I'll try to cut you some slack.

Y/N: It's fine Rebecca.

Rebecca: If it's not you I'm yellin' at lately, it's Alvin, and then I'm in real trouble.

Y/N: I can handle it. I'm not a little kid.

Clem wraps an arm around my waist.

Clem: You're my little teddy bear.

Y/N: You're my little honey bun.

We share a kiss.

Rebecca: I felt the same way when I was your age. My dad was always giving me shit, and I always thought he didn't know a damn thing. I know you did your best back there. You know, none of us would make it on our own. Sometimes it's hard knowing just how dependent I am on everyone. I'm not used to that. I'm not comfortable with that. I'm supposed to be a mom soon. Guess I need to work on my patience. Alvin and I still don't know what to call her, or him, if that man gets his wish, God help me. Any ideas? kids?

We approach the truck we hid at.

Clem: There. That's where we were...

Nick runs up and opens the doors.

Nick: He's not in here!

Y/N: This was the last place I saw him.

Alvin: Maybe he's around here somewhere.

Carlos: Keep your eyes open. And stay in sight.

Clem and me see a trail of blood leading behind a rock and follow it to see Pete's corpse.

Nick: Oh, my God. What happened? What the hell happened?

Carlos: He's been shot.

Y/N: He didn't have a gun though.

Luke hugs Nick.

Alvin: Son of a bitch...

Carlos: We need to go.

Luke: He's gone, Nick. He's gone. We gotta get movin'. Come on, man.

We continue walking through the forest and I keep Clem close.

Nick: Tell me. Tell me how it happened.

Y/N: He saved me and Clem's life.

Luke: Well, that was... that was Pete.

Clem: I'm sorry.

Nick looks sad and falls behind.

Luke: I'm worried about that kid. Keep an eye on him for me, would you? You two... sure you still wanna come with us? Look, I know we got off to a rough start. And I can't make any promises it won't get rougher. But we all know you both now. And we may not be perfect, but we look out for each other.

Y/N: We have to look for Mom and Christa.

Luke: They were headed north, right?

Clem: Yeah.

Luke: So are we. Look, you're gonna have a better chance of finding them with us than on your own. (takes out map) I figure we got about four or five days to reach those mountains. Now, if they're trackin' us, we should be able to lose 'em up there.
