Y/N POV

After saving Luke and Sarah from the trailer park we head back to the meet up.

Mike: Son of a bitch. You found 'em!

Luke: Yeah, I'm a little amazed myself, to tell you the truth. If it weren't for Clem, Y/N and Jane, well... I don't know what would've happened.

Rebecca, with the help of Bonnie, approaches the others.

Rebecca: Sarah, how you doing, hon?

Rebecca tries to put her hand on Sarah's shoulder, but she shrugs it away.

Rebecca: That's okay, sweetie. Whenever you're ready, I'm just glad you're here. But wait, wait. Where's Nick?

Luke: Uh, Rebecca, how about we go for a walk for a minute?

Luke and Rebecca walk a short distance away.

Bonnie: Let's just give 'em some space. I have something I need to talk to you about, too.

Rebecca: No... no...

Bonnie: I ain't gonna sugarcoat this. That baby's coming even faster than Rebecca's letting on. But I was hoping you might know... Does Luke know anything about babies? Has he, I dunno, mentioned Carlos teaching him anything? Just in case?

Clem: Kenny had a family. He could help. Where is he?

Bonnie looks over at a nearby tent.

Bonnie: He brought Sarita in there not long after you left. I don't know if he's...done it yet. Ain't seen him since... I don't think he's doing well.

Y/N: Clem could you talk to him? I might snap at him again.

Clem: Sure thing.

I pull Clem into a kiss and squeeze her butt a little.

Y/N: I love you.

Clem: I love you too.

CLEM POV

I enter the tent. Kenny is sitting on the floor with his back turned to me. Sarita lies on the floor in front of him, pale and blood-spattered.

Clem: I wanted to check on you. Make sure you're okay.

Kenny: She didn't want me to wait. But I had to. In case by some crazy chance, she didn't come back. That beautiful face... So I waited. I thought maybe she'd be different.

Clem: Sarita was a good person. Me and Y/N liked her.

Kenny: You know what it feels like to get beaten almost to death? Peaceful. It feels peaceful. It was like I was floating away, watching the whole thing happen to me. And then I woke up again, and nothin's changed. I'm still takin' a beating, every day. Duck. Katjaa. Sarita. No peace. No rest. The punches just keep coming.

Clem: Kenny, you're not...you're not dead. We need you.

Kenny: Oh, yeah. 'Cause I've done so great with everything else in my goddamn life. Why the hell couldn't Carver have just finished me off? Obviously I ain't helping anyone by being here.

Clem: Well, he didn't, and you're still alive, whether you like it or not.

Kenny: Oh, you're right--I guess I should be celebrating, huh? I'd throw a party, 'cept my guest list is looking a little thin these days.

Clem: There are people out there who are scared. Who don't know what to do. You could be helping them, but instead you're just...sitting in a dark tent, feeling sorry for yourself.

Kenny: "Sorry for myself"? The hell do you know, Clementine?

I start to cry.

Clem: [crying] Me and Y/N had to shoot Lee. So don't be an asshole and pretend you're the only one who's lost people!
