Gabe's POV:
I couldn't believe what was going on. Uncle Javi and my dad just got into a major fight and now here I am being forced to go with him while everyone else is still in Richmond. "This... This is isn't right, Dad. We have to go back." I said to him as he kept his eyes on the road. "There is no way in hell we are going back! Not with those fucking traitor." He replied refusing to make eye contact as I became furious. "Traitors?! Last time I checked you were the one who abandon them. It wouldn't be the first time." I said as he just briefly looked at me and scuffed. "And last time I checked you wanted to go. Why the sudden change of heart? What was it that girl, Clementine?" He said is I went completely silent at the thought of her. "Oh so it is. Well good fucking riddance. You're better off without her or any of them. I'm the only one who can take care of you." He said as my rage took over. "We are going back NOW!" I shouted as I reached for the wheel and me and my dad fight over it. "Gabe! Get your hand off the fucking wheel! Your going to get us... oh shit!!" He screamed as we ran into a herd of walkers in our truck crashed. I banged my head hard on the dashboard as everything went black and dark.

Clem's POV:
After David took him, I thought it would've been best to leave Javi and Kate to go save Richmond well I went after Gabe. Luckily I was able to save him but I wasn't able to save David. I brought Gabe back to Richmond but he has been unconscious for the last few days as I've been getting really worried about him. I should be off to McCarroll ranch to get AJ, but I can't go yet knowing that Gabe could possibly die. I've stood at his bedside along with his uncle and now aunt as we then began to She his eyes flutter open. "Ugh... where am I?" He asked as there three of us ran to him and gave him a hug. "Uhhh... Who are you guys?" He asked as we all let go him and just looked at him confused. "What do you mean Gabe? We're your family. Don't you remember us?" Kate said as Gabe tried to think for a moment until he said, "Nope. I've never seen you people before in my life." "Gabe, this isn't funny." I said hoping this was another one of his dorky jokes as he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not kidding. I have no clue who you are or how I got here."
We stepped back as Eleanor, who has been taking care of him since I brought him back walked in the room and Javi didn't hesitate to ask, "Hey! What the hell is wrong with my nephew?! Why can't he remember anything?!" "I suspected this would happen. He sustained had damage when the truck crashed. It's a classic case of amnesia." She said as I looked at Gabe with sad eyes. "Amnesia?! For how long?" Kate asked her as she hung her head and sadness. "His head sustained a lot of damage. I don't think he could ever be the same person again. It would probably be best if you... Give him space. At least for now." She said as we all couldn't help but feel sad. "So am I able to go now... Whatever your name is." Gabe asked her. "My name is Eleanor. And yes, you can go Gabe." She replied as Gabe got up from his bed and left the room with the bandage still wrapped around his head and Eleanor escorting him out.
After Gabe left the room, I couldn't help myself but about to go after him. I'm not about to lose the only friend I have in this world. Someone I am now close to. Even someone that... I have loving feelings for. As I was about to go after him, I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me as the hand belonged to Javi. "Clem, what are you doing?" He asked me. "I'm going to talk to Gabe." I said with a bit of attitude. "Clementine, you heard what Eleanor said. He need some time to get used to his new life before we can...." Kate said as I interrupted her and said, "I don't care what she fucking said! I need to talk to him. I have to make him remember." I then ran out of the room as both Javi and Kate yelled out my name but I didn't care. I just need to see Gabe. I wanted my dork back.
I ran outside to see Gabe wandering around the community as I didn't hesitate to go over to him. I ran up to him as I said, "Uh... hi Gabe." "Oh you're the girl from a few minutes ago. I never did get your name." He said as I then told him, "Its... Clementine." "Clementine. That's a cool name." He said as I replied, "Yeah you used to think so." "Gabe, I know you're still in there. I can't bear to see you like this." I said as he said back, "Look you're nice and all but I seriously have no idea who you are." I felt sad before I got an idea as I reached into his coat pocket and pulled out the deck of cards we used to play Euchre. "Well since you don't have any plans, how about a game of euchre?" I asked sounding desperate for him to remember at least something, no matter how same or insufficient it was. "What is euchre? And how do you play?" He asked as I couldn't believe what I was hearing. What was once my goofy dork was no those hollow husk of the boy he used to be.
"Gabe, please remember something. Anything. Like the time we slept in the car while Kate and Javi talked in the seat in front of us." I begged. "Kate and Javi? We're those the people with you?" He asked me as I became sadder. "Or when I taught you how do you kick a walker in the knee and then stab it in the head." I said begging even more. "What the hell is a walker?" He asked sounding a bit annoyed. "All the talks that we've had. Us going after the truck together with your uncle and aunt. You staying by my side no matter what. Please remember something! Please!" I said begging harder than I have ever in my life. "Look, I'm not gonna take this bullshit anymore of you claiming to know me. As far as I know, we've only met today. So I'm just going to go. It was nice meeting you, I guess." He said as he began to walk away.
As he walked away, I just stood there in complete silence and sadness. The dork that I secretly loved was gone. As I stood there I did something that I have never done in a long time, I broke down crying. First with a few tears but then a whole sea of them as I held my one arm and cried like crazy. My crying apparently caught Gabe's attention as he looked back at me and asked, "Hey, why are you crying?" I didn't answer him as he walked back over to me and Gabe me a hug as I hugged him back. "It's OK, Clementine. You don't have to cry." He said as I my tears soaked his white t-shirt a bit. "But you don't understand Gabe. I... I love you so much. More love than I've ever felt for any person before. Or at least I used to love you before the Gabe I knew disappeared and left this husk. Please... Please come back to me, you dork." I said as Gabe then I hold me tighter before his body shook a bit. He then lunch himself off of me as he grabbed his head in pain while aching. "Gabe?!" I asked concerned as Gabe then stopped and looked at me with fluttered eyes. "Ugh... Cle... Clem?! What am I doing here? Where's Kate and Javi? And my dad?! Are they ok?" He asked me as my tears of sadness turned into those of happiness. "GABE!!!!" I yelled as I ran into him wrapping my arms around his neck as he hesitated for a moment until putting his arms around my body. "Gabe your back!" I shouted as Gabe replied, "Yep, I'm back. Where... where did I go?" "I'll explain it later. But Gabe there's something I want to tell you. I...." I began to say until he stopped me and said, "I know." "You... you do?" I asked confused. "Yeah, I remember that part. And I feel the exact same way." He said as we both then leaned our faces in and kissed. It was my first real kiss with any boy and I'm lucky that it was with him. We unlocked lips as I was stunned by the pleasure. "Whoa." I said. "Yeah, you said it." "So were is Uncle Javi and Kate? And my dad?" He asked me. "Your dad didn't make it but Kate and Javi are in the medical center. I'll take you to them." I said as Gabe nodded and followed me as we were hand in hand, now that his amnesia has passed and his memories have returned to him. Thank God.
