Luke

Nick and Clem are gone when I wake. The light flooding the moble.

I find a note taped across my chest and I ripped it off.

Dear Luke,
Me and Nick went to breakfast.
Also, some man wants to see me alone so if someone named Joel comes in tell him in not here.

Okay?
Bye.

I crumple the note and throw it away, taking note about the 'Alone' part.

"Hmm." I shrugged and walk out of the mobile with the keys and lock the door

Heading for the lunch hall I run into a small infant crawling across the dirt.

"Hey little guy.." I pick him up and find it to be a little brown haired girl with grey eyes.

"Hey, where's your mama?" I ask the baby and she gurgles, grabbing my increasingly long hair and tugged, attempting to put it in her mouth but failing.

"I'll take you to the Lunch hall, you can meet AJ!" I smile and walk into the lunch hall, immediately finding the gang

"Hey, who's that." Nick asks, referring to the baby.

"Yeah, I didn't know you had a daughter."

Then it hit me.

This could be my daughter. I could treat her like a queen. Clementine is getting more and more independent and distant.

"My new daughter, Arizona."(sorry Vidjauser idk wat u look like)

"Cool."

"Can I hold her?" Clementine offers, passing AJ to nick who slightly fumbled the baby.

"Sure." I pass her Arizona and she smiles.

"Ma-ba." She gurgles and puts her hand up towards the bill of her cap.

"No." Clementine frowns and Arizona pouts.

"Lemme go get somethin' to eat, hold her for a sec, will ya?" I smile and get up, heading for the line and grabbing a tray.

Earning a glob of banana pudding, a handful of refried beans, and some lukewarm water(ha).

I grab a plastic spoon and fork and head back out, taking Ari back and began spooning Banana pudding into her mouth.

"Ba-ba." Ari spits Banana pudding everywhere and I groan.

I hear Nick chuck and get up to grab a napkin.

"Ugh. Really?" I wipe the banana off my face and laugh.

"Ba-bah!" Ari giggles and flails her arms around.

Clementine stays quiet, silently picking at the skin on her thumb.

"Here." Nick hands me a napkin and I wipe the banana off me.

"Messy little one." Nick smiles and sits beside Clem, rubbing her back.

A man walks in with a long brown beard and icy blue eyes walks in and stands at a podium.

"Is there a Diane Richards? I need to have a important talk with her." Joel calls.

"No? Okay." Joel walks down and takes a quickly glance around before leaving.

"Guys, he found out what I told Clem. I'm going to die." Diana suddenly pops out from under our table and Clem frowns.

"No, we can save you!" Clementine promises and nods.

"I'm done. Don't try."



"Time to face the reality."
