A/N: This a crazy long chapter y'all, I hope you enjoy reading it! Argh, Wattpad keeps smooshing all my words together when I copy and paste it over, I tried to fix it but if you find some smashed together words, I'm sorry! Thanks to everyone for reading and reviewing!

Clementine woke up on Saturday both nervous and excited. She was not looking forward to leaving AJ alone with strangers but she was more than excited to be going on her first date with Violet and the party at Louis's seemed like fun too.

AJ ran into Clementine's room and jumped on her bed before she had a chance to get up.

"Clem!" AJ yelled landing on top of her, "It's Saturday!"

"I know bud," Clementine groaned,"You don't have to yell so early in the morning." Clementine pulled her pillow over her head.

"It's not early Clem," AJ said," It's almost eleven o'clock!"

"Eleven??" Clementine sat up quickly, knocking a giggling AJ to the side, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? Have you had breakfast? Are you packed? Is the spare phone charged?"

AJ ran out of the room and came back with his back pack bursting at the seams. Clementine eyeballed the back pack with doubt. "Did you pack your pajamas?" AJ nodded,"Clean underwear?" AJ nodded again, "Tooth brush?" AJ started to nod, then ran out of the room, Clementine could hear drawers rattling around, zippers and more foot steps as AJ ran back in and nodded, she shook her head at him amused.

"Tooth brush is packed!" AJ grinned.

"Do you have a change of clothes for tomorrow?" Clementine continued her list, AJ nodded again." Pillow?"

"Yeeeees Clem!" AJ said exasperated, "Can we go now please?"

"AJ, you need to eat some food and I need to get dressed." Clementine said.

"Then get out of bed!" AJ said eagerly, pulling at Clementine's arm.

"Alright, alright!" Clementine conceded, climbing out of bed. "Go eat some cereal or a sandwich or something, I need to text Tenn's mom for the address." AJ went speeding out of the room while Clementine grabbed her phone from her nightstand, unplugged it from the charger and sent the text. Not more than a minute passed before she got the address.

Clementine debated on whether she should go ahead and get dressed for her date or just throw something on. She glanced at the time again and decided to just throw on her jeans and a t-shirt. She pulled her hair into a quick pony tail before throwing her hat on.

Clementine walked out into the kitchen, AJ had made himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and was eating it messily over the island. Clem settled for a bowl of cereal, when finished she grabbed the spare phone off the charger and turned to AJ.

"I'm putting this phone in the front pocket of your book bag." Clementine explained, "Do you know how to call and text me on it?" AJ nodded as he licked his fingers clean. "If you get scared or uncomfortable or sad or mad or you just want to leave for any reason, you call or text me understand? If you don't feel safe, call or text me. If you don't feel like you can talk without someone hearing you, just say you're sick and I'll know to come get you immediately, okay? Just go to the bathroom and type 'sick' and I'll be over as fast as I can, okay?"

"Okay Clem, okay!" AJ complained, washing his hands off in the sink, "I get it, I'll call you if I need anything."

Clementine shoved the phone into his hands. "Practice calling me."  When AJ groaned in protest, Clementine looked at him seriously, "This is important AJ, show me you know how to call me." AJ grabbed the phone, unlocked it, pushed a couple buttons and the phone in Clementine's pocket started to vibrate. She answered the phone and then hung it up, "Good, now send me a text." AJ sent her a text of a poop emoji. "Really funny AJ."
