Chapter 4 ~ I'm just fine.

Finaaaalllllyyyy continuing chickens

Clem's POV

I woke up pretty early the next morning cuz I was used to it since I was all on my own with AJ and couldn't risk anything. I yawned and stretched my arms in the air, I hadn't slept that good in a while...hadn't slept at all to be honest. I looked around and realized I was the first of the ones, who actually slept in the RV, to be up.. My gaze fell on AJ, who was just lying there, sleeping like a little angel and snoozing softly. I smiled. He slept in a big box with a blanket in it and some other pretty soft stuff like scarfs and a fleecy Jacket, since there wasn't a crib or something. I made my way to the door, stepping carefully over a few people, trying not to wake any of 'em. When I opened the door of the RV, it was still pretty dark outside, but you could see a few first sunbeams climbing onto the sky slowly... I stepped out of the vehicle fully, shutting the door behind me, trying to be as quiet as possible. "Mornin'..", Dale said sitting in some chair on the RV. "Up so soon?!", he smiled like he knew it was always like that. It couldn't be later than 4;30 a.m, telling from the lightning outside. "Could be askin' you the same.", I said smiling back. "Always watching the road.", he said, exhaustion lying heavy in his voice though he tried to conceal it... "yeah..", I nodded, knowing what he meant. "So..you got, mhh, got any plans for today?", I could hear that he was a little concerned about my answer. "Well actually, I was goin'-" "Awake already kiddo?.." I looked at Daryl who was walking up to me.
Dale gave me a short nod, like dismissing me and I did the same. "Going somewhere?", I asked. He soon came to a stop, standing an good feet away from me. "Actually, yes. Was goin' to go on a hunt... still pretty early, might be 'n advantage..", he shrugged like the careless guy he was, or at least it seemed so.... I nodded slowly, "Makes sense..well kinda."     He nodded too and smiled awkwardly cuz neither of us said anything and I could see he was uncomfortable with the silence. "Wanna come?", he suddenly asked, I furrowed my brows, that one got me by surprise...He seemed like a loner, at least if he had the choice.. But it wasn't my concern at all so I quickly brushed it off and nodded my head yes.

                   30 minutes later

Daryl and I were walking through the woods now quite a while, when he spoke up again, "So, what happened to ya..? I mean, there must be some reason your all on ya own wit' the baby and all. Didn't say much about ya past yesterday and it's not like it's necessary..just curious ya know..."
I swallowed...it was still hard to think about my past and the people... the people I loved, the people I lost....
"I had a group.. no, I had two groups. Good people, well most of 'em, but some lost just to much. Bad things happened to good people, bad people happened..... They all had their issues but they were still there for each other, even in the worst. Things got more and more complicated but in the end it was just like they all fought themselves. It's always the same road, with me being on my own in the end..just this time I got the little goofball watching my back."
Daryl just stared, he had listened without saying a word. "Wow...well I'm sorry, I ahh, hope you're alright. You know..mentally.", Daryl whispered the last part a little, he looked me over from beside I could see, concern in his eyes. I didn't return his gaze, I don't need to get close to anyone here, just to loose them soon enough again. Just like everyone else... "I'm just fine."
