Clementine stormed through the gates and ran down to the water. It was starting to get dark but it was peaceful. The light from the community was shimmering in the water.  

Clementine sat down and just stared out at the ocean, everything was quiet

Clementine sat down and just stared out at the ocean, everything was quiet. 

"Clementine?" a voice was heard. Clementine didn't answer.

"Are you alright?", it was Y/N.

"Please, come here, sit next to me," Clementine said softly, Y/N sat down next to her.

Clementine kept staring out over the ocean, suddenly she said, "Y/N I don't know what to do... I feel so empty".

"I don't know Clementine, I can't even imagine how it feels other than it must be terrible for you". Y/N said while looking at her. 

"Javier, my friend I was with before, said before I left looking for A.J, that if I find him that I should leave him where he is if he is happy. Well, he is happy, I can't force him to be with me, he must have thought I was crazy to say I was his mother" Clementine said and closed her eyes.

"Clementine...." Y/N said and put his/her around her and pulled her closer, Clementine quickly rested her head on Y/N.s shoulder.

"How am I suppose to carry on without him? I tried so hard to keep him safe, I love him so much Y/N..." 

"I know, but you kept him safe and he is safe now, you did what you could and he is safe, you are a good mother Clementine," Y/N said

"I lost him.." 

"No he was taking from you, how were you supposed to fend off a whole group? You did what you could, but still, in the end, you never stopped searching for him, you made sure he was okay, that's what a mother does"

"It feels like everything is against me, I've got Lee killed, I've got Kenny killed and I even lost A.J. There really is nothing else than hopelessness. It's probably just a matter of time before I get you killed too, or you leave me" Clementine said with a sad voice. 

"............." Y/N stayed quiet. He/she just kept holding his/her arm around her

Y/N kissed her on the cheek, stood up and reached her the hand, "we should get inside the apartment, please come with me" he/she said and smiled.

Clementine smiled back and stood up soon after, "Y/N... please call me Clem," she said, then they headed into the community once again. When they got to the apartment, Y/N opened the door. It was pitch black inside, Clementine quickly sat down on the couch with a large sigh. Y/N went around in the apartment and turned on all the lights. "Clem! You want anything to eat? There are a lot of canned food in here." "No thanks... I'm fine" she yelled back. Y/N grabbed two cans anyway and sat down next to her on the couch. "I know you are sad... Clem.. but you still need to eat, I'm not taking a no for an answer. Eat..". Clementine grabbed the can and started eating and so did Y/N. After a few minutes of talking and eating, Clementine sat down the can on the table and snuggled up to Y/N, she rested her head on Y/N chest and Y/N pressed his/her jaw against her head, they sat like that for a while in silence.
