Nick
"Be sure to flick the switch on the outdoor speakers, not the indoor speakers." Rebecca damanded, as Clementine was up in the air, hanging onto the rope securely. "Just the indoor speakers might not be enough to draw the herd. It's right on the microphone box."
"Right." Clementine said.
"By default, its supposed to play music, so you just have to turn it on, right? Then climb back up and drop into the stockroom. We'll meet you there, okay?" Rebecca asked.
"Yeah, I got it!" Clementine said, and Mike began pulling her up by the rope.
"Be careful!" Sarita warned. Clementine nodded.
...
"Okay, we just need to get prepared." Kenny said. "When Bonnie comes, we have to get right the fuck outta here."
We were surrounded by the fire, on edge, ready to leave whenever necessary.
I looked over at Luke.
At first, he just stared at the fire, but soon, he noticed me staring.
"What?" He asked, and I looked away and shook my head. From the corner of my eye, I saw Luke sigh.
"Hey, Nick, can I...talk to you over here for a second?" Luke asked, and nobody else in he group paid attention. Sarita and Kenny were currently speaking, with Carlos and Sarah crowding around Rebecca. I nodded, and followed him away from the group towards the bedding.
"What is it?" I asked, and crossed my arms. Looking at Luke now, I felt myself go hard.
"What do you mean, what is it?" Luke shook his head. "Last night?"
"You tell me. I Have no idea, myself." I lied. I didn't want to be the pathetic one chasing Luke.
"Well, fine. We kissed. More than once." Luke said.
"You kissed me!" I hissed.
"You started it." Luke said, and crossed his arms. "Listen, I just...where are we now?"
"What do you mean? That doesn't change a thing." I said. I don't know why I was pushing Luke from what I wanted! Maybe it was in the heat of the moment.
"Fine. So, we're friends, and we made out, no biggie?" Luke asked angrily. I nodded. "Fine."
Luke walked away, and I shook my head. That's not what I want. I want Luke. And why was he so mad?
....
Luke
So.
It was obvious Nick didn't want what I wanted. I really thought we could...never mind. I guess the thoughts I had before were correct; he wasn't interested. I shook my head. I was all over the place. We all were! I had just been beaten to shit, my ribs tested by Carver's sharp punches, and with Nick being all fired up about hitting him...that was it. We were just confused, and scared. We had no idea what we were doing.
At least, I hope that's the reason.
