It has been a rough 3 years... Since we left Wellington, the walkers have increased in numbers. AJ was freezing, hell, we all were. We had no way of feeding him either. Kenny and i slept on either side of AJ so he could stay as warm as possible. We woke up the next morning, and he was dead, Frozen stiff.

Kenny lost his mind after that. He beat me when he saw AJ was dead. He told me i was worthless and it was my fault. "Kenny! STOP!...PLEASE!" I begged him as i cried. He finally stopped, but it was too late. My right eye was black and blue. My left shoulder was bleeding again, from where that stupid Russian shot me. My ribs hurt really bad, i could barley stand. Kenny never apologized, but i could tell he felt guilty. He would hardly talk to me. He would just sit with his head down.

We went back south, back to Howse. We found baby formula, ironic right? Kenny punched the wall out of anger. "Kenny stop! Your gonna hurt yourself!" He quit but didnt turn around. "Im sorry Clementine..." He never called me "Clementine" unless he was upset, I was always "Clem". Either way, i walked up to him. "Are you ok?... " i asked. He turned his head so i could see his bandaged eye. "We can stay here for the night." He changed the subject. So we did. It was very uncomfortable without AJ, i felt like we were missing something.

That evening, a heard of walkers swarmed through. Kenny pulled out his gun and ran towards them. "GO CLEM!" he yelled at me. "I'll hold them off!" "I'm NOT leaving you behind!" I yelled back. I ran to him and tugged on his arm. He shoved me backwards. "GO!" He said. "Don't let them get you!" I ran to him again, crying. "NO! i wont leave you!" He turned and hugged me. "Please. I have to do this. For you, for Alvie, for my family..."

A walker was behind him and he spun around and shot it in the head. "Now GO!" he yelled as he ran towards the herd. He started shooting. Then they surrounded him.

I ran as fast as i could. There was no way he got out of that. I went to the only place that i knew was safe, home.
