Bad Blood (Gabentine Fic)

Hate You

Clementine felt the sun hit her eyes and she turned over to block it out, trying to get a little more sleep. But, she found that to be difficult when she heard someone whispering/singing softly and couldn't help but to feel calm from hearing it.

"Don't worry about a thing. 'Cause every little thing gonna be alright. Singing' don't worry about a thing. 'Cause every little thing gonna be alright."

The teen girl found herself almost lulled back to sleep before realizing where she was and why she was there. Clementine jerked up from where she was laying and looked around the room, spotting AJ still in bed and Gabe sitting next to him. He was holding AJ's hand as he was singing to him and smiling whenever AJ would shuffle around or twitch his nose.

"How is he?"

Gabe's head snapped towards Clementine as she stood up and stretched, not seeing Gabe's eyes follow her movements sharply before looking away hastily. He let go of AJ's hand and stood to let her take his seat and started slinking away to give them some privacy.

"Um he's been stable. When you passed out by his side, I hauled your ass to the couch so you wouldn't be sore today. Denise said she'll be in later to check him out and give him some more medicine."

Clementine nodded and watched as he awkwardly stood there watching AJ, as if he would get up and start walking around again like nothing happened. She cleared her throat and Gabe snapped out of his trance before nodding and bolting out of the house. Clementine almost thought about saying thanks to him, but he was gone before she could even speak one word. Turning back to AJ, Clementine held his hand and sat there and listened to his breathing.

"Annnnd here we go, AJ. Bottoms up! Come on, just take this and then you can have some juice!"

Clementine tried persuading AJ with three white pills in her hand, needing the boy to take the medication and he was not having it. AJ stubbornly shoved the pills away and glared at Clementine, giving her his best glare. Denise and Clementine had been trying to give him the pills for the past hour, but to no avail. They had tried sneaking it to him through his food and AJ just bit down on it and lost his shit, throwing the food across the room and had a meltdown.

"Hey, what's going on in here?"

Gabe walked into the room and seen that AJ had his arms crossed and was glaring at the two women that sat on either side before his glare turned into a smile when he seen Gabe.

"Gabe!"

The teen smiled widely at him and walked over to where AJ was laying down, ignoring the look Clementine was giving him as he sat on the bed next to AJ. Gabe looked down at Clementine's hand at took the pills out of it before turning back to AJ with a puppy dog pout.

"Goofy goober, will you please take these for me? The sooner you get better, the sooner I can give you this huge cup of chocolate pudding I have."

Clementine wanted to flip a fucking table when AJ took the pills and swallowed them all in one gulp. Gabe smirked at the teen in victory and smirked even wider when he seen Clementine flip him off. Denise watched the two and rolled her eyes at them, checking AJ's monitors and IV for any problems while they acted like children. The "doctor" smiled to herself a bit and wondered how much the two had liked each and for how long.

"So, how long have you two been dating?"

Denise didn't even hear her girlfriend walk in, but Tara sure didn't have a filter when it came to these kinds of things. However, Denise knew that was the wrong question to ask when both Gabe and Clementine pulled a look of disgust/hate to each other and then to Tara.

"I HATE HER!"

"I HATE HIM!"

Tara rolled her eyes at their shouts and walked up behind Denise, resting a comforting hand on her back and giving the two an unamused glance.

"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt."

Denise laughed at the joke and watched as both Clementine and Gabe folded their arms in frustration. It was quite amusing seeing them get all upset over something that clearly wasn't true and Denise decided to change the subject before things got out of hand.

"Clementine, you can go and rest up at home, maybe take a shower, while AJ rests here. I want to keep him here for a couple days and get him started on antibiotics to help knock out the sickness before it gets worse. I'll radio you if anything happens and give you updates hourly if you want."

The teen thought about it and wanted to say that she was fine there, but a shower would do her some good and a nap in a soft bed sounded pretty good. Clementine kissed AJ's with a promise she would be back soon before walking out and to the house, going around the back way so she wouldn't run into anyone. Thoughts about AJ dying or something happening to him plagued her the whole walk back and she was about to turn around when she felt a hand shove her forward.

"What the fuck?!"

Clementine whirled around to knock the shit out of whoever pushed her and seen Gabe smiling at her mischievously. Clementine was in no mood to joke around with him and shoved him back, anger showing clearly on her face. The joking look on Gabe's face melted away and annoyance replaced it as he stepped closer to the other teen and poked her shoulder aggressively.

"Hey, you need to watch it. I just pushed you because I know you were about to turn and go back to AJ. You clearly need some rest and a shower wouldn't hurt either."

That was it for Clementine and she slapped his hand away, having enough of his bullshit and attitude today.

"Can you just fucking leave me alone? I don't want you following me everywhere like some fucking stalker."

The tone of the conversation shifted dramatically and Gabe was not going to back down from this fight. Her slapping his hand snapped something inside of him and Gabe couldn't control what he was saying anymore, letting anger flow out of him.

"Like anyone would want to waste their time stalking someone like you. You're just an emotionless bitch that blocks out anyone who gets near you. Hell, the only things that find you worth stalking are muertos!"

Smack!

Clementine hadn't even realized she had smacked Gabe until she felt the stinging on her palm and the mark of her hand appeared on his cheek. Regret filled the teen when she watched Gabe look at her in shock and stood stock still. Clementine hadn't meant to hit him and just did it because she was tired and just wanted sleep. Gabe hadn't even moved a muscle and just stood in shock with a slack jaw at what Clementine had just done.

"Oh my god. Gabe, I'm so.."

Clementine was cut off when Gabe rushed forward and sealed his lips over hers, pressing down so hard teeth clanged together. The girl froze up from the action and felt Gabe starting to pull away when Clementine deepened the kiss. Wanting a better angle, Gabe grabbed Clementine's face with both of his hands and titled her head a bit to the side. The two were so caught up in each other, the sound of a truck starting nearby made them jerk violently apart and stare at one another in disbelief of what just happened.
