Y/N POV

After meeting up with the others we talked to Kenny who tried to blame Sarita getting bit on her and I wouldn't stand for that shit and lost it on him. I walk away from Kenny and everyone looka at me with shock. I sit with my back against the wall and Clem sits next to me and rests her head on my shoulder.

Clem: Are you okay?

Y/N: No... I'm fucking pissed. He has the balls to try to blame that on you. He can go fuck himself.

Clem: I know teddy bear. I think he Is more mad at the situation than us.

Y/N: I don't care. He isn't gonna blame you for that.

Clem: Come here.

Clem grabs me and pulls me into her and a nuzzle into her chest.

Clem: Thanks for standing up for me.

Y/N: Anything for you Clem... I love you.

Clem: I love you too teddy bear.

I pill her into a passionate kiss then we then snuggle for a couple of minutes then get up and talk to everyone.

Mike: I'm going crazy just sitting here not doing anything.

Bonnie: Just give it time, Mike. It's still early.

Rebecca: Kids! How'd it go?

Y/N: Kenny is being a cunt.

Bonnie: Kids, you can't just expect him to bounce back. What that man's going through...

Y/N: He tried to blame Clem for what happened to Sarita. Fuck him!

Rebecca: At least you tried...

Mike: Still. Doesn't exactly help us figure out what we're gonna do now. We've got no food, no water, it's getting damn cold, and we're losing daylight fast.

Bonnie: When the others get back, they'll know what to do. Luke will have a plan.

Mike: We thought Kenny would have a plan.

Rebecca: Mike...Bonnie...

Jane: Mike's got a point. You can't just keep sitting around waiting. Things are difficult enough right now and soon you'll have a baby on your hands, too.

Rebecca: What, suddenly you're pretending to be concerned?

Jane: Seeing you people floundering the minute things don't go according to plan has just got me on edge, alright?

Mike: Well, I don't exactly see you stepping up to help right now, either.

Clem: We should go find Luke, Sarah, and Nick. If they're in trouble, we might be able to help them.

Rebecca: Clementine's right. After everything...after all this. If there's any chance they're still alive, we need to take it.

Jane: I'll go. The kids can come with me. If they're alive, they can't be far. We can find them... One way or the other.

Rebecca: Thank you.

Jane: Listen. Rebecca. If anything goes wrong here... You got something to protect yourself?

Rebecca: (draws pistol) I've got this. You don't think I'd need to...?

Jane: I don't know. But you better keep that close. Come on, kids.

Jane, me and Clem leave.

Forest

Jane: Look, I'm gonna level with you two. I was just looking for an excuse to get outta there for a bit. And... You both should know that finding your friends...that's a shot in the dark.

Y/N: Well, then why'd we come out here?

Jane: I wanted to talk to you two, away from them. You two wouldn't have made it this far if you weren't smart, but I still...I just gotta warn you. That group is cracking. I've seen it before. And, well...a lotta times, it's better to be on your own. I know you see what I'm talking about. You don't want to be here when they start...turning on each other. Turning on you both.

Clem: These are good people. We help each other. I can't leave that.

Y/N: Yeah.

Jane: You'd both be surprised. How much help is Kenny gonna be? What he's going through...he's more of a liability than anything. Rebecca's "situation" is not making things better back there. You get enough broken people together... And all you're gonna get are broken decisions.

Clem: Rebecca's just worried about her baby. I mean, wouldn't you be?

Jane: I wouldn't bring a kid into this world. And like you said, it's her baby. Not mine. Or yours.

Y/N: Yeah well I made a prmise and we're not gonna abandon it.

We reach an abandoned car, and Jane begins searching it.

Jane: For what it's worth, I like most of the people in your crew...but groups fall apart. People get killed.

Clem: Then why did you bring us with you?

Jane: I'm just trying to give you the tools you need to make it. Like your jacket... it looks warm, but a walker will bite right through that same with your sweater. My sister Jaime had a good leather one... wish I still had it. You coulda...

Clem: I always wanted a sister. I used to make my babysitter, Sandra, play a game that we were secret sisters. It was... stupid kid stuff.

I then kiss Clem on the cheek.

Y/N: That sounds cute.

Jane: You know, being a big sister is... well, it's funny. It's really easy to be mean.

Clem: Oh?

Jane: You know, hide her toys. Make fun of her bad haircut. Give her the bad haircut. On purpose. I mean, I did put the gum there. I figured I should get it out. I don't even know why.

Clem: Is that really what it's like having a sister?

Jane: No...no...it's not all bad. But...What could I do? She thought I was her best friend. That couldn't go... unpunished. Every summer we'd go to this amusement park in Virginia. But the best part wasn't the rides... It was that nobody knew us there, and I'd... I'd pretend we weren't sisters. Just... friends.

Y/N: If I had a sibling I woulda been an asshole to them.

Jane clears her throat and looks into the distance.

Jane: Alright! Jackpot!
