Chapter Four - Hershal

The following morning me and Jai had left the house and we were in and we started making the way to Hershal's farm. I don't know if he was still alive but I remember him being in a bad place and telling us to leave after his son died, poor kid.

 We had come across a car with the keys still in it, so I was driving that. We reached Hershal's farm and I parked out the front, I froze, mentally preparing myself. I turned to Jai, " Jai I'd like you to wait here please"
"No"
"Jai please he isn't that keen on knew people and he knows me please, Jai I will be right back honk if there's any trouble "

he sighed "fine!"

"good!"


I got out of the car and cautiously walked towards the front door. As I walked I looked around, examining everything I could see, it hadn't changed too much and the barn still stood. Maybe he is still alive but maybe not. I reach the front door and hesitated for a second before knocking the door. I knocked twice, I was so anxious. Then the door opened and Hershal stood there, looking as grey as ever.

"Who are you?" he said.

"Don't you remember me?"

"No"

"Clementine"

"Clementine?  I think remember you and Lee, yes look at you all grown up!" He smiled.

He was acting much nicer then last time we met and I remember last time he was a a bit of a dick.

"Yeh" I spoke, sadness tinting my voice as I remembering Lee.

"Where's Lee? Well how about you tell me over tea!' He smiled sensing my sadness.

"Okay wait...I have a friend with me" remembering Jai.

"He can come too"

"Thank you wait here"

I ran back to the car and told Jai he could come in and  he looked extremely pleased.

We walked into hershal's house and sat down at the table and hershal sat opposite.

"So Clementine what happened?"

I told him everything about Lee's death and being by myself and meeting old friends and the phone call...EVERYTHING! Truthfully it's nice seeing old friends because it gives you a bit of peace in my mind.

"Well, I'm so sorry for your loss even though when we last saw each other I was angry that...that my son died he did try to help him he was a good man"

I nodded, I was scared to say another word in case I started to cry.

"Yeah he was a good man" I murmured, that was all I could manage out as I felt the tears prick my eyes.

"Well Clem ,can I call you Clem?"

"Sure" I smiled

"You and your friend can stay the night!"

"No, it's okay really it's okay we don't want to impose"

"Now, Clem come on I'm not letting you go back out  until tomorrow you and your friend can share the guest room"

Thank you so much" I smiled again.

"Well it's the least I can do I'm making up for when I kicked you all out that day...i regret it after my son died it was just me and Maggie but she left with some guy called Glen......I do regret that day I kicked you all out I-"

"I understand you where angry because you had just watched your own son die in front of you and there was nothing you could do so hershal it's perfectly fine...I had a good adventure with Lee anyway"

"yeah but I always did feel guilty..."

"It's okay if it was not for you kicking us out I might not be alive today you never know!" I spoke trying to cheer him up

After that We went into the spare bedroom. I got into the bed and Jai was a gentlemen and slept on the floor.

*the following morning*

I awoke to ringing...it was my phone, again! how does this person even do this!?

I answered it.

"Clementine" The  voice was women this time.

"...Yes?"

"Are you on your way to the store?"

"Yes I'm at hershal's farm he let me stay the night"

Then in the background I heard someone say "haha the old fuck actually let someone in to stay haha" That was the mans voice I heard, I swear.

"Listen hurry up we can't stay in here for long!"

"I'm coming okay I'm leaving today but who are you?"

I never got an answer they went silent then the phone call ends. I guess I am leaving today, I was going to anyway but who are these people ringing me and how did they get it to work. how did they get the phone working to call me?
