You're REALLY GOING TO HATE AND LOVE ME AT THE SAME TIME NOW :DDD

(Chapter contains slight abuse, mentions of homophobia and attempt rape)
Narrator POV

Clementine jogged over to Gabe with a wide smile on her face. She got her knife from her belt and cut the flimsy duct tape off, which in reality Gabe probably could've done, but it didn't matter.

He was still alive after all this time.

Gabe sprung up from the bed and engulfed Clementine in a hug. She happily reciprocated and snuggled her head into his shoulder, making Violet's jaw clench.

Clem pulled back from the hug and studied Gabe's features. His face was more mature looking and his fringe made him look surprisingly more cuter than ever. His jawline had straightened and it made him look like an adult more than anything. His eyes were larger and softer, and she even noticed a few freckles spotted on his nose and cheeks.

"Oh yeah, um guys this is Gabe. I was in his group for a while around 3 years ago but then I had to leave to find AJ. Long story short it's been a long fucking time." Clementine said awkwardly as Louis gave her a slightly disappointed look, and Violet was shooting daggers at this mysterious 'boy'.

"Right, so you know that he won't kill us or snitch on us to any of his buddies? Whatever you say Clem." Violet said with a sigh, looking down at her feet.

Gabe raised an eyebrow at her. "We were travelling up here... our group...after that muerto heard got in we tried to fix it, but then another herd came shortly after and surprised us, destroying basically the entire wall and...we couldn't mend it." He said reassuringly with sadness drooping in his voice.

"What happened then? Where Kate? Javier?" Clementine asked worriedly.

"We were separated after a a couple dozen muertos came and snuck up on us. I had to run the opposite direction into the woods, and that's when I found this place. So they should be pretty close by, the others I mean." Gabe said, hope rising in his tone as he smiled widely, his white teeth showing.

"Um muertos?" Louis asked dumbfounded. "Oh it means dead in my language." Gabe said.

"Oh. We call them undead, or most fittingly.... walkers" Violet finished Louis' sentence by dragging out the word walkers, doing an action with her hands that made Clementine laugh out of her girlfriends jealousy and annoyed tone.

Gabe rolled his eyes as the teenagers signaled him to follow them into the courtyard to meet the others.

After all the awkward introductions Clementine decided to catch up with Gabe.

"Hey guys me and Gabe are going to go to my room to catch up! I'll see you at dinner if that's okay?" Clementine said to Violet and Louis, in a worried tone.

"It's fine Clem." Louis said cheeringly, with his signature goofy smirk.

Violet however was merely silent. She nodded her head and crossed her arms, suddenly jogging over to the admin building, disappearing through the door.

"Um ... ever since I got here she's been a bit weird towards me. Is she okay?" Gabe asks nervously, scratching the back of his neck, secretly checking out Clementine's figure.

"I think she's a tad jealous. Don't worry I'll talk to her later now come you dork!" Clementine says happily, grabbing Gabe's arm and dragging him to her room.

In the distance Louis was shaking his head watching the two interact. Clementine was so oblivious to the fact that the boy liked her.

"He better not make a move... wait doesn't Clem only call Violet dork? Eh what is happening anymore."
