The girl - a clementine x male reader story

Chapter 17 - alone again

Back to readers POV

You spot clementine talking to gabe and he kisses her. You expect her to at least pull away but she just doesn't and starts to talk to him. You don't know what to feel. Anger, sadness, understanding or forgiving. But you just feel empty and as she calls your name you don't even move. You want to be angry but you can't be angry at her.

She walks out in front of you

Clem: Y/N you have got to listen to me. I didn't kiss him.

You: ok

Clem: why do I feel like that ok isn't an ok.

You: whatever I don't really care

You can't muster up the courage or strength to yell or even just tell her off

Clem: Y/N, just talk to me

You: maybe later

You spot jack running over to you and lifting his arms.

Jack: up

You pick him as a shooting pain runs down your side

Clem: I can carry him if you want.

You: no

Gabe runs over and you feel an anger bubble in you.

Gabe: I'm sorry it's my fault I kissed her. I didn't realise you two...

He trails off. Just his hand on your chest stopping you just pisses you off and you think about how you could just sock him right on the jaw. You decide to control yourself.

You: ok

Gabe: are we cool

You: ok

You just can't be bothered to listen to anyone right now so you just focus on walking to the apartment block.

Clem: come on Y/N, are you angry with me.

You: I don't know clementine

Clem: but...

She seems upset by your response as Anna walks over

Anna: what's going on over here. Y/N, what's wrong.

You: it's nothing

You decide you've had enough and walk inside the building and make your way up the stairs.

The three follow you in hot pursuit which doesn't help your mood.

You get to your floor which is just a sofa and a wardrobe because you are just a temporary guest.

Clem: at least come outside and talk about it or get some fresh air.

You: no

You say this slamming the door in their faces and kicking some dust of the walls.

You hear their voices through the wall

Gabe: oh god. He is not happy

Anna: don't worry clem he will get over it he just needs some space.

3 hours later

You had been keeping jack entertained for what felt like days but he could tell there was something up. He kept on giving you hugs. After a while he got tired and gave up as you lay in your bed and think about all the people who had protected you. You remember one time you had met molly again as she moved on from city to city. You met her somewhere eastward but can't remember where but she didn't last long with you and the group. She moved on again as she preferred to be alone.

Jack: hungry

He snaps you out of your trance as you put on a shirt and you walk him downstairs. You are hungry to but would have rather stayed upstairs. You decide to ditch you crutch because you where feeling better.

You walk out to the centre of the little park where all the tables are set up for dining. You spot clem, AJ, gabe, javi, Kate and Anna all sat on a table. Jack runs off to sit with AJ and clem suddenly starts looking around knowing if jack is out of the room then so are you. You make eye contact but you look away and eye a circular table with no one on it. You grab food and your share of bread and sit down. You scoff the bread realising you hadn't eaten for about two to three days because you didn't like the food at the hospital and slipped it to jack and AJ while clem wasn't looking.

You close your eyes as you think about how good that bread was and you are about to dig into your soup.

Jack walks over with his puppy dog eyes and you realise his share was quite small making you worry.

You: here

You hand him your bowl of soup and keeps on glancing at AJ and wants to sit with him but doesn't want to leave you.

You: go I'll be fine

Anna gets up and walks over to you and sits next to you.

Anna: how you feeling hon?

You: I'm not sure.

Anna: what do you mean?

You: I want to forgive her but I feel as if it might happen again but I don't want to be angry at her because that's not how you fix a problem and she looks so upset and I feel bad but-

You slam your head on the table and you head flop on its side looking at Anna

Anna: it called love sweetie.

You: then why is it so annoying.

Anna: because it shows you care...

She squeezes your cheek and stands up walk back to the table.

You lay your head in your hands and think about what she said. You get a quick glance at clem who is staring with slightly bloodshot eyes.

You can't handle it and get up walk around the block.

You spent that entire night sitting on a bench and think what to do next.

You wake up as the sun is rising and Kate is lightly tapping your cheeks to get you up.

Kate: how long have you been out here

You: what time is it now.

Kate: about 6:30

You: so about 7 and a half hours

Kate: god you must be freezing go inside and warm up.

You: I'll be fine.

You spent the next two hours walking about and saying hello to the people up before the others. Soon about everyone is outside. You spot a short girl in a cap carrying two big crates of food and two card board boxes of ammunition balanced on top of it. She is struggling to walk in a straight line. Thinks makes you laugh a little but you decide to help and pick up the top crate with the two boxes on top.

She looks at you in shock clearly not expecting to see you pick up the crates. As you turn she wraps her arms round your belly and put her hands under your shirt. It tickles.

You place the crates down and turn as she hugs you again and you rest you chin on top of her head.

She pulls back as you wipe away one of her tears. You assume they are tears of joy.

You spot Kate, Anna and a few other women from the community all awwwwing and holding there chest where the heart is like it's the cutest thing they have ever seen.

You roll you eyes and pick the crates back up and begin walking to the armoury and storage area.

After you both drop them off clem grabs you hand and drags you off to the apartment block.

Decided to get it finished before I went to sleep so I had done at least one thing productive today
