Y/n P.O.V
Our little hug was interrupted by Tenn knocking and opening the door. "Hey." He said walking closer to us. "Violet said to come get you for the funeral." He explained. "Really?" Clem asked in disbelief. "We used to have them more but then we stopped." Tenn informed. "It seems right though." He then switched his attention to AJ who was still sitting between us. "I brought you something." He said reaching out and giving him a small wooden fireman figure. "For me?" Aj asked remembering their little fight from a day ago. "I figured you'd be afraid with everyone all upset. But you were brave last night. Like a firefighter." Tenn complimented.
Aj smiled taking the toy. "That's so sweet of you to do Tenn." I thanked him. He gave me a small nod. "What are those?" Aj asked pointing to what seemed to be drawings. My assumptions were correct when Tenn answered. "Drawings for Marlon and Brody. It's of stuff they wanted. I'm going to put them on their graves."
"They don't need them, their dead. They're not gonna get that stuff." Aj stated with a confused face. "It's a great idea Tenn. They'll look really nice on the graves." Clementine interrupted giving Aj a short glance. "Thank you."Tenn then turned back to Aj. "Have fun with your firefighter, ok?" "Can we play with them later?" Aj grinned. "Sure. After the funeral, They buried them already. Vi'll start it soon" I nodded. "See you out there." He said before walking off and out of the wooden door.
As soon as Tenn leaves Clem fully turns to Aj. "This is gonna suck. They'll say a lot of things about Marlon and Brody. Some true. Some not." She explained. "So let's just get through it without upsetting anybody ok?" She finished. "Ok, I'll try."He mumbled getting off the bed.
Clem took another sip of her coffee while I collected my photobook tracing the initials 'JG' I look back at Clem. "Do you think we'll meet them again?" I asked looking back at the book. "Maybe, let's hope if we do it won't turn out like last time." Clem joked. I giggled at the memory. "Yeah..."
"Ok let's go." She said opening the door. We walked into the front yard and Aj looked at the crimson red stain that was still there from Marlon's death. "I did that." Aj said staring at the blood. "Come on." Clem mentioned to the group of teens that are around the graves.
As we walked closer to the group I felt the anxiety picking up in my chest. I gently tapped the photobook with my nails as we were close enough for them to notice us. I saw Ruby place a flower crown on Brody's grave. Meanwhile, Rosie was whining at the grave where Marlon laid.
Everyone noticed us and glared, everyone but Violet who was standing with her arms crossed looking sadly at Brody's grave. "Oh god, they're here." Assim commented looking at our direction in disgust. "So what they knew Brody, didn't they." Violet defensively answered. "Yeah but Marlo-" Omar started being cut off by Vi yet again. "Just leave them alone."
"Umm, why do people have funerals? Tenn said they used to have them more." Aj asked looking at Clem. "To say goodbye to someone you've lost." Clementine sadly replied. "But they're dead." Aj replied still confused by it. "Its like the last chance you see them before they can finally pass on to a better place." I also try to explain. "It's kinda like they are playing pretend, pretending Marlon didn't do the bad stuff he did." Aj remarked. "Let's just get through this." Clem sighed.
"Does everyone get a funeral?" Aj asked yet another question. "People do, some animals do too." Clem nodded. "Even monsters?" I look down at Aj. "Marlon wasn't a monster he was just put in a bad position where he didn't know what to do. He thought he was doing the right thing yet as we all know it was wrong." I answer.
Vi turns to Tenn. "Tenn, you ready?" She asked. He gave a sad nod and proceded to start the funeral. He placed one of the two pictures in front of Brody's grave and then proceded to explain what he drew and why. "Brody, You always said you wanted to go to the beach, so, I drew it for you." Now Violet was standing in front of Marlons' grave. "Marlon was..." She began to hesitate. It seemed like she didn't know what to say. She then turned her head away letting out a breath before saying. "I can't." Louis and Mitch looked up and their once sad and gloomy faces turned into a deadly glare. "Not for Marlon. After what he did to the twins and Brody-" Vilot began to explain yet getting cut off by Willy. "You didn't even like Brody! You were always mean to her." He spat out. Vi turned and left the group" I can't someone else do it."
"Bitch." Mitch commented. "Dude don't." Louis tried to stop his friend who clearly was getting angry really fast. "Seriously Louis? He was your best friend. He wasn't perfect but he deserved better than to get gunned down by that kid." He pointed at Aj. "Aj killed him like it was nothing. We all saw it, and no one stopped him."
"You're right Mitch, Aj made a mistake but its a different world outside 'the safe zone' It's harder to teach him 'World peace' out there." I tried explaining to him. "That's not what you said to me."Aj interrupted. "Aj not now." Clem tried to cut him off. "No. Go ahead, Aj. Yeah, we all wanna hear you explain why you murdered Marlon."
Aj stepped forward. "I... I was justified! Clem and Y/n told me." He explains. We are so fucked. I examined their expression of disbelief. "Fuck I can't listen to this." Louis disappointedly walked away. Assim seemed out of words. "Damn, that's... shit." "That's what you told him? What he did was... was ok." Ruby also added.
"I know this sucks I'm sorry for that. I really am." Clementine apologised. "But Aj did what he had to do." I cringed at that well he didn't have to do that, but, it's not his fault. "Are you shitting me right now!?" Mitch began to shout again. Vi stood in front of him again "See what I mean? How can any of us trust these fucking people?" He tried to argue again. "What are you saying?" Violet calmly replied. "I'm saying they gotta fuckin' go." He stated. "Take the vote. The majority decides: they stay, or they leave. Today." He suggested and the rest seem to agree. "Go ahead take the vote, we'll leave if we have to." I say trying to seem confident. "Y/n!" Aj exclaimed. " Fine, I guess we're fucking voting." Violet slowly shaking her head and turning to Tenn. "Louis needs to vote. Cloud you get him? And, try to talk to him." She asked with a more calm demeanour. He nodded and left not before trying to get Rosie to follow him but she wouldn't move an inch from Marlon's grave. "Could you guys wait in the dorm? I'll come get you." Vi then proceeded to instruct us. I nod before gently guiding Aj to the dorms. But he then quickly turns and catches me off guard. "Please don't kick us out." Clem then walks up to him. "Come on let's go."
