Y/N POV

After escaping the beach we met with James and hid in a cave from walkers.

AJ looks at me.

AJ: How's your finger?

Y/N: What finger?

AJ: Dad!

Y/N: It hurts like a motherfucker but at least I can still play guitar with it I hope.

Scarlett: Are you sure Papi?

Y/N: I'm sure kiddos.

I smile.

I see Clem holding something.

Y/N: What ya got there babe?

Clem: A crystal.

Y/N: Cool.

We walk over to Tenn.

Tenn: Guys, did you... did you see Minnie out there? I didn't see her anywhere. But that doesn't mean she escaped. I don't know.

Y/N: I saw her on the beach. She was bitten, Tenn.

Tenn: So she'll go to the next place. With Sophie. They can be together. That's good.

Clem picks up a rock and strikes her knife against it, creating sparks.

Clem: Perfect! Flint.

Y/N: Nice spot Clemmy.

Clem: Hush you.

Y/N: Now we just need something to burn.

I grab a stick then take off my sweater then shirt and wrap the shirt around the stick then put the sweater back on.

Y/N: Light it up.

Clem: Sure thing.

Clem uses the flint and her knife to set the shirt on fire.

Y/N: Let there be light.

Clem walks up to me and puts a hand on my now bare chest.

Clem: You really are a teddy bear.

Y/N: Your teddy bear.

Clem: My teddy bear.

Scarlett: Mine too!

We laugh.

Carley: Alright love birds now we need something to help us cross.

James: The walkers are getting closer.

Y/N: Don't worry. We'll be home before you know it.

I look at a log.

Clem: You thinking what I'm thinking?

Y/N: Yep.

I push the log down the river, and it is stopped by the rocks.

Y/N: Okay. We just need to go across one by one, and then we'll move the rocks out of the way, and then I'll take--

A walker grabs Tenn.

Carley punches the walker, and it releases Tenn.

I pick up the torch. The group walks to the other side of the river. I hit the walkers with the torch, lighting them on fire.

Y/N: Clem go!

Clem: But...

Y/N: Go!

Clem hesitantly does and makes her way to the others while I fight off the walkers.

She makes it across.

AJ: Dad!

Clem: Babe!

Scarlett: Papi!
