Alone (A 'The Walking Dead Game' Fanfic)

Chapter 20

* Luke's POV *

I sat on the end of the bed Kylah slept on. She had tear stained cheeks and the pillow she lay on was slightly wet from tears.

God, I hate seeing her cry. It makes me cry, honestly.

I looked at her sleep, her chest moving up and down slowly. I smiled at how peaceful she was.

I pushed a stay hair out of her face, my fingers lightly brushing her face.

Her eyes opened slowly. She smiled at me, her eyes half open.

"Did I wake you? Sorry" I asked.

"No you didn't" she said softly, her eyes now fully open.

The brown eyes she owned were still red from her crying. The white surrounding her pupils were now red.

"How long were you cryin'?" I asked her in a soft voice, causing my accent to get stronger.

"Hours..it seemed.." she mumbled.

I felt the expression on my face change to sad, she quickly noticed.

"Come here please" the young woman said, holding her arms out.

I laid myself next to her and she wrapped her arms around me. I put my arm around her.

I enjoyed when she was in my arms. She was tall but, small compared to me.

"I'm sorry about Jordan" I said, apologizing for my older brother.

"It's fine..I don't think he remembers the 'incident'" she replied, trailing off.

I just nodded and turned my head to the small window in the room.

The sun was setting, the oranges and reds and yellows cascading over the sun, lowering itself below the horizon.

I turned my attention from the view to the now sleeping girl, rested on my chest.

My eyes began to get heavy

* Kimi's POV *

I woke up in my too familiar bed, the pillow that I slept with on the floor.

Alex had still not returned and I was getting worried about him. The only person that was more worried then me was Jack. And, it defiantly did show.

He was still asleep, holding on to a pillow to substitute for Alex. It didn't seem to work though.

I pulled the blanket I had on me off and grabbed my journal.

I filled open to the next available page and lightly brushed the tip on the pencil on the paper.

I looked up at Jack, his pillow still stained from the night before. I remembered his sobs. He kept me up for hours but, I don't blame him.

I noticed my paper had an outline of what I saw in front of me.

I continued to draw what I saw, smiling as I did.

* Jack's POV *

I woke up, noticing Kimi was gone.

Alex was gone and I was still accepting it. It wasn't the same, losing someone you care about. Now I know how Clem feels.

I see Kimi's drawing pad, something drawn on the page exposed.

I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed so, I continued to lay down, still holding the pillow.

Kimi soon walked in, looking at me with a sad expression.

"Morning sleepy head" she said in a soft voice.

I just groaned.

"He'll come back, I have faith in him" she said, reinsuring me.

"Don't jinx it" I joked in a raspy voice.

She chuckled, playing along.

"I wanna show you this.." she said in a soft voice.

She grabbed the drawing pad, bringing it over to me.

I saw a guy, clutching a pillow. He was laying on pure air, part of his body being covered by a blanket. The blanket faded into the mans body below him.

"It's amazing" I told her.

We smiled at each other as she closed the journal.

* Narrator's POV *

The group of currently 6 suddenly heard a gunshot, all six being in the same room.

Though, one did not hear it.

The 5 that heard this noise rushed to where the noise was heard. All 5 met in the backyard.

The scene before them was horrifying.

Clementine was being held in Kylah's arms, the older girl covering the little girls eyes.

Jack had his arm around the girl with blue tips in her hair. She horrified by the sight.

Jordan laid on the ground, eyes open, and a gun near him.

Blood poured out of his forehead and on to the snow. A clear shot in it.

"Jordan! Jesus..Jordan" Luke yelped, as he was now on his knees.

He held Jordan in his arms, sobbing into his neck.

No one spoke a word, Clementine quietly sobbed, Kylah comforting her.

Luke turned around, tears streaming down his face.

He turned around to see his group with shocked expression.

"Why..?" he asked.

Yet he knew, no one knew why.
