clementines P.O.V
"I cant fucking believe you!" I screamed, absolutely livid. I cant believe he would be so stupid! he could have gotten himself killed! "its not my fucking fault! Aasim was the one who fucking sent me.!" louis yelled back. " bullshit! Aasim is more against going outside the safe zone than all of us put together for fucks sake! you cant just go outside the safe zone! it takes proper planning and time! not just whenever you fucking feel like it!" I yelled back, storming off. I threw open the door to my dorm room, thudding myself down on the bed, burying my head in my hands. I sighed, hating arguing with him. me and louis have never fought before. in fact, the last time I ever saw him angry was when marlon was killed, and even then, he didn't yell. he was surprisingly scary when he yelled. I sighed, wanting to go and apologise, but im too stubborn, so instead I just sat and cried. a gentle knock tapped on the door. "g-go play with tenn, Aj." I said, trying my hardest to sound normal.
"its not Aj" the door creaked open. "Aasim? wh-what are you doing here?" I whispered, wiping my tears away. "I came to talk to you. I heard while you was arguing with louis that you didn't believe him when he said that I sent him out past the safe zone. and the truth is, I did. we are running low on food and I new that the train station was stocked, so I figured that louis could go and get some of it. im sorry. I didn't realise how much it would bother you. " I looked up, shocked. so louis wasn't lying? I was genuinely surprised that Aasim of all people would make a unprepared suggestion for a trip outside the safe zone. "its okay Aasim. you didn't know. I was just... I was so scared. I cant lose him. and hes the worlds biggest doof, hes so prone to life-threatening idiocy that I cant help but worry." he wrapped his arms around my neck, pulling me into a gently hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my chin on his shoulder. he smelled like pine trees. I heard gently footsteps stop outside the door, but I ignored it, thinking it was probably Aj. then a loud sigh, before the person walked away. I pulled away from the hug and smiled at Aasim. "thank you. I had better go talk to louis" he smiled and nodded. I gave him another quick hug before heading to the one place I knew louis would be, and surely enough, as soon as I stepped into the admin building, the soft sounds of a piano echoed around the softly rotting room. I recognised the song instantly, as the one louis played for me when we first met. as I headed up the stairs, I started to hear the lyrics
"oh my darling, oh my darling oh my darling clementine you were lost and gone forever dreadful sorry clementine." i gently pushed the door open, hearing it creak. he looked over to me, and frowned. his eyes were red and puffy, his cheeks glistening in the low light. he looked away, looking at anything but me. i deftly walked over, unsure of where to start. "louis i-" before i could say anything, he cut me off. "why was you hugging Aasim" his voice terrified me. usually full of light, it was completely blank and void of all emotion. "Aasim doesn't just 'hug' people" he reiterated, air quoting the word hug "so why was he hugging you!" the yelled, his voice getting louder. "he was comforting me! and i came to apologise, but if your gonna be like that then-" i turned to start walking away, but he grabbed my wrist, pulling me back. "i- im sorry. i just don't want to lose you. the only person Aasim has ever hugged is ruby, so i guess i just jumped to conclusions." i sighed, looking down "im sorry for yelling at you. i was just scared. scared to lose you. if you died, or god knows whatever else, i wouldn't be able to handle it..." he took my hand, lacing it with his own. "i understand, and you had every right to yell at me. i shouldn't have been so reckless." i stepped closer to him, taking his other hand and wrapping his strong arms around my waist. i then let go of his hands, and slid my hands up around his neck. " i love you. no matter what. " i whispered. "i love you too. no matter what." he whispered back, leaning closer. i closed the gap between us.
kissing isn't like what they say it is in movies. the were no sparks, the world wasn't spinning, we weren't floating. it was just two desperate teens needing each other. but i wouldn't change it.
Aasims pov
i walked to the music room, to check clem and louis were okay. when i looked in the partially opened door, louis was holding her by the waist, her holding him by the neck, lips locked onto each others like they never wanted to let go. i smiled. all i wanted was for them to be happy. im not made of stone like everyone thinks. i just worry that showing to much emotion can get you killed. ruby is teaching me otherwise though. and im starting to realise just how powerful love is. i gently closed the door to give them privacy
now to go find ruby
