If Lee Survived

Chapter 14: AJ's Return

How would you guys feel if I made chapters in the POV of Kenny, and Sarah? I was thinking of this after I published the last chapter and decided to ask in this chapter. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for reading.

Lee

Jesus looked over at Javi and then down at his bat after we came up with our plan. Max woke up in the middle of us planning, and he had been silent the whole time.

" Did that make you feel better?" Jesus questioned with disapproval.

" I wouldn't shed any tears if I were you. " David crossed his arms.

" You're damn right it did! Bastard got exactly what he deserved. " Javi snapped glaring at Jesus.

" Be careful, Javi...Act like a beats, you risk what makes you human. Don't become the thing you hate." Jesus sighed.

I frowned. " Javi's earned my trust. And if any of you had any brains you'd say the same. Javi did what he had to do." Clem chimed in.

" Yeah, I don't know about you, but nobody's gonna sit there and listen to someone talk down on their child after they've just killed them. " I added thinking about if it had been Clem.

" Just because your name is Jesus, don't make you the actual Reincarnation. Don't expect us to keep it Holier Than Thou in the middle of an apocalypse just because it's worked for you." Kenny spoke causing me to shake my head.

" Sometimes there's just no other way to make things right... Lee took a crowbar to a man's face once because he hit me. This world isn't the same anymore." Clem sighed.

" Well my people need to know about what we found here. " Jesus said turning away from us.

" What about your missing friends?" Javi questioned.

" I don't have time to keep looking. They'd want me to get home and warn them." Jesus explained.

" You sure you won't stay? We need your help." Javi questioned with hope in his eyes.

" My people need me more. I won't forget about you though. You have my word." Jesus nodded before turning and walking away.

" It's a shit storm out there, man. I don't see how you're gonna make it. " Tripp called out causing Jesus to look over his shoulder at us.

" One step at a time." He responded before disappearing into the woods.

" We need to get back to Richmond now. I have loved ones in there." David said eagerly.

" Typical, you're only thinking about what you have. We all have loved ones in that place, you aren't the only one." Clem rolled her eyes and crossed her arm.

" I gotta break Eleanor out of there. Once she's safe, I... I'm gonna tell her how I feel. Hey, if the mess never washes out, might as well get neck deep." Tripp smirked looking over at Javi.

. " We're gonna need allies in Richmond. Lingard and Clint... They're our best bet. If we can get to them, we can let them in on what's been happening." David pointed out.

" And that's where these two come in. They can tell them everything and they'll have no choice but to believe them. It's fool proof. " I added

" Okay... Then it's settled. I know I was ready to say goodbye before. But I can't do this without you. Can I count on you?" David asked turning to Javi.

" Ofcourse David. You're my brother. But I still think you owe Clem and apology. Come on man, it was really bad what you did. " Javi raised his eyebrow causing David to shake his head.
