Prompt: "Come To Me" by The Goo Goo Dolls.

XX

As he looked at her standing in front of him in her white dress, he remembered what hell it had been before he met her. It had been just plain darkness to him, and nothing more. But whenever she kissed him, she lit up the whole room, hell maybe even the whole planet.

She was kind and sweet, and he was grateful to have her. She had pulled him out of his personal hell, and for that he promised that he would be forever faithful and would never leave her side.

Even if they were side by side, he still had dreams about her. She would cuddle close to him on cold nights, and he would hold her close. She kept him warm, but it didn't matter. He didn't need blankets if he could just touch her skin.

He would've given up a long time ago. He would've told Kenny and Hershel that he couldn't handle Clementine. But he didn't, and it was because he knew it would get better. He knew it sounded sort of stupid, but he knew something good was going to happen. He already had Clementine, but he knew that something else was going to come along that day. Well, he didn't know that it was going to be someone else. And that was Carley.

He didn't anything of it at first, but that was until she saved Clementine. He didn't realize that it was love until later, but he had a feeling that it was always there. But as he, Clem, and Carley drew closer, Lee felt more and more like shit. He loved his two girls, but he felt bad because other people were losing their families every day, and he was gaining one. He felt selfish.

Another thing that she did for him was convince him that the past was not important. He tried burning photos, and getting rid of anything that had to do with the past. But she told him that what he was doing wasn't going to erase the past, and she didn't care. They both had done bad things before, and she didn't care what had happened before. The world had gone to shit, but she wouldn't have cared either way. She convinced him that he didn't need to be sad about or explain his actions, the past was in the past and now they could start again.

Meh knew right then that they would be together until the end. Nothing could tear them apart. They were both practically family, especially with Clementine. He was afraid to love again after what had happened last time, but Carley and Clementine had taught him that loving again was okay and nothing to be afraid of. Even though it was the end of the world, they would grow old together.

And now, they were promising that to each other. They had found a bridal shop on a run, and decider to make the most of it. Today was going to be the day that they were bound together, forever. Lilly would kill them, but they didn't care at all.

Clementine smiled as she took his hand. The room was empty except for the three of them, and it was perfect. Now, they were really starting over. All of their pasts were erased as they leaned in and kissed each other. Lee savored every last moment, wishing that they could stay in here forever.

"Yay!" Clementine shouted, making his heart melt all the more. Nothing had ever made him feel like this before, not even his first wedding, and he thought that that was the best day of his life. Now, he was in some run down bridal shop in a bloody tuxedo, with a beautiful girl with a slightly ripped dress standing in from of him, willing himself not to cry like a baby.

"I love you, Lee Everett." Carley told him, leaning in for another kiss.

"I love you too." He replied. "More than you'd ever know."
