Please Don't leave (Violentine)

Chapter 14

"Someones at the gate." Aasim told them as they made their way towards him, "he's....uh..he's alone from what we can tell, armed, but if he tries anything we'll shoot him." 

"How old do you think he is?" Clementine asked.

"He seems pretty old, definitely around before the world went to shit." He replied

When they got to the gate Clementine froze, the person standing in front of the gate was someone she never thought she'd ever see again.

"Do we let him in or not?" Louis asked.

"Um..yeah, yeah let..him in," Clementine responded shakily.

"You can put your weapons down, I mean no harm." The man said.

"We'll decide when we put your weapons down." Violet snapped back.

"Just put your weapons down on the ground real slowly and kick them over here," Aasim ordered.

The man complied and put his gun and knife on the ground and kicked them over to Aasim who picked them up. "Walk in with your hands up," Aasim ordered again.

The man slowly walked through the open gate with his hands above his head, when he was far enough he stopped and looked around at the group that surrounded him, his gaze stopped on Clementine and he spoke to her.

"You look familiar." He stated, "why do you look familiar?" He asked.

Clementine's response was simple but it held a lot of meaning. "Savannah." She stated with a sudden sharpness to her voice.

The man stumbled back a step and shakily spoke. "C-clementine, your...your alive?" 

"Yup." Clementine replied popping the 'p'. "Good to see you to Vernon," Clementine said with a sarcastic smile.

"You've changed." He sated.

"We all have, I'm no exception." She replied coldly.

"True, but you must remember Clementine, the last time I saw you, you were what, eight, nine?" 

"That doesn't matter, Aasim...just...just put him in the basement until I figure out what to do with him," Clementine ordered.

"Come on old man." He spat out as he grabbed him by the arm with a knife to his back.

After he was gone everyone turned to Clementine with a curious look.

"What?" Clementine questioned looking around at everyone, "Oh, no we are not getting into that right now." She said once she understood why they were looking at her with that look.

"Oh, come on Clem please?" Louis pleaded, trying and failing to do big puppy eyes.

Clementine walked past him and gently whacked him on the back of the head, "stop that." She said before walking off.

"Is she okay?" Willy asked Violet after Clementine was out of earshot.

"I..actually I don't know." Violet admitted, "I'm gonna go talk to her, don't do anything stupid while I'm gone." She said mostly to Louis.

"What, when have I ever done anything stupid?" Louis asked with his hand on his chest, faking hurt.

Everyone burst into laughter and Violet managed to choke out, "Louis, never ask something stupid like that again."

Clementine was sitting in her room thinking of the past when there was a knock on her door, startling her, but she quickly recovered, turning just in time to see the door opening and see Violet walk in.

"Hey." Violet greets quietly.

"Hey." Clementine responded."What are you doing on here?" She asks.

"Isn't it obvious?" Violet questions with a small smile, "I'm coming to see what's wrong with my amazing girlfriend."

Clementine chuckled quietly and then responded, "I'm not as amazing as you think I am."

"Hmm, nope not possible," Violet replied with a grin.

"Yeah, okay." Clementine laughed quietly, "but really, Vi, I've done some pretty horrible things in the past." Clementine admitted quietly.

"Is this the thing you said we wouldn't trust you over?" Violet asked quietly.

"Ah..uh...maybe." Clementine stuttered out.

"What is it Clem, you can trust me. You trust me, right?" Violet asked.

"Of course I do, Vi, I just...I don't know if you'll still trust me if I tell you."

"How bad could it be that I wouldn't trust you?" Violet asked softly.

"Oh, believe me, it's pretty bad," Clementine said with a humorless laugh.

"Tell me, it's clearly something that you want to get off your chest so....I'm all ears," Violet said her voice strict and stern but at the same time loving and soft.

"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you." After Clementine said that she took a deep breath to calm herself. It had been a good minute before she finally spoke.

"After...after AJ was taken from me I would...um....well, I would rob people, on the road, not caring that they were just trying to survive....." she paused to take another breath, this time to hold back the tears threatening to fall," I didn't even care that they were people...just trying to survive, like me....I didn't care...I...I just did it, then I didn't give a shit, but now....."Clementines voice trailed off and she looked up at Violet who was looking back at her with a slight shock, but also...sympathy. 

"Now what?" Violet asked softly, sitting on the bed beside Clementine and taking her hand and giving it a squeeze.

"Now...now I feel g-guilty...disappointed in myself...fuck...I bet Lee and my parents would be really proud of me." Clementine said with a cold laugh.

"Clem...."Violet started, waiting for Clementine to look up at her,"those things your feeling, their normal, their what makes you human, they are why you still have your humanity and....Lee and your parents wouldn't be disappointed in you, they'd be proud of you...you have done so, so much for us and you right your wrongs, and don't you dare think otherwise." By now Clementine was crying, not of sadness, but of love and compassion, Clementine, for the shortest second, but it was there, felt for merely a second how she did before everything started.

"Y-you really think that?" Clementine asked tearfully.

"Clem I don't think that, I know that." Violet replied with a soft, loving smile which Clementine returned.

"I don't deserve you." Clementine said as she sat up and wiped her tears away.

Violet chuckled softly then pulled Clementine into a kiss while simultaneously replying, "Yes <kiss> you <kiss> do." she finished, pulling away and smiling at Clementine.

Clementine was about to reply but a knock at the door interrupted her, Violet rolled her eye rather obnoxiously and got up to open the door.

Louis stood there with a serious look on his face, shocking, and he pointed behind Violet to Clementine who was getting up from the bed, "He said he'll only talk to you, Clem." Louis informed them.

"Of course, bastard," Clementine muttered under her breath.

"Wait, before you go, what's the story with him?" Louis asked, with curiosity.

"I'll tell you later, just let me go talk to him." And with that, she left the room to go talk to an asshole.

A/N: Okay, so this is probably, keyword probably, going to be the last update in at least a week cause I got so shit to do, school-related shit. 

Umm....anyways I'm just gonna...ya know. [awkwardly leaves]

Have a good day/night
