Do I update too much? Lol
So I'm super sick right now guys. That means I'm really bored and need something to do. So between reading fanfics and watching my bro replay the game, I decided to write. Sorry if it's shit.
Prompt: Modern AU. Lee's wife has been dead for awhile, and he starts dating Carley. Clementine doesn't like her at first and thinks that Lee is trying to replace mom. OOC Clem

Lee stared at all of the pictures of his wife, himself, and his daughter on the wall, wondering what his new girlfriend would think when she saw them. She was coming over for dinner tonight, and he hadn't even bothered to clean anything up. His house wasn't that messy to begin with, but it could use a good vacuuming.
She wouldn't care, at least he hoped that. But what would she do if she did? Dump him because his house wasn't clean enough? He went into the living room and picked up some of his daughters stray things, which included coloring books, toys, and hair supplies. She was 9 years old and should've been picking up for herself, but Lee didn't care what other parents did. He loved to spoil his daughter, and treat her like a queen. Some parents would say that doing that was wrong, that he should let her do things for herself, but he disagreed with them.
After he was finished picking up all of the stuff, Lee headed up to his daughter's room. She wasn't thrilled that Lee was having his girlfriend, Carley, over, to say the least. Lee sighed and pushed open the door.
His daughter was sitting on the bed, legs crossed.
"Hey, honey." Lee greeted, sitting beside her. Clementine simply looked over at him, then stared back down at the bed.
"Are you... Angry?" He asked her. When she didn't answer, Lee sighed. "Dinner's going to be at 7:30. I'll come up to get you in case you forget." Saying they made Lee feel super old fashioned, but he didn't laugh. He couldn't. His own daughter wasn't talking to him.
He waited for three more seconds, hoping that she would answer, but deep down he knew they she wouldn't. Kids sure knew how to make an adult feel like shit.
The thing was, Lee had gone out with other girls previously, but none of them lasted too long. The reason for this? Clementine. Whenever he would find somebody knew and bring her home, Clementine wouldn't like it. She would disrespect the woman, ignore her, and do whatever other rotten things were on her mind. Lee didn't blame her, he knew it was hard for a kid to adjust. Hell, it was hard for him too. Even though he missed his wife, he knew he had to move on sometime, she would've wanted it. But Clementine didn't.
Lee sat on the couch for a minute and thought. Should he keep doing this to his own daughter? She didn't want him to move on, and he understood, but he needed her to understand him.
The new girlfriend, Carley, was one that he really liked. It was the first girl in months, and he had a feeling they she was the "one". She was just different from all of the others and he liked that. He hoped that Clementine would too.
He took a shower, got dressed, and walked near Clementine's door. He put his ear up against the door, listening. Like he guessed, there was silence. Lee looked at the time. About a half hour and Carley would be here. He was excited in a way, but afraid in another. This was the day that he decided(or that she decided) if this would work out, if they were really compatible, and mostly if Clementine liked her.
