Clementine POV

  I was in me and AJ's new room tucking him in so he could sleep while I went to meet Minerva. He was very reluctant to sleep on the bed, saying that the floor under the bed was safer than the bed but I eventually convinced him that the bed was a lot more comfortable.

  I waited for his breathing to even out, letting me know he was asleep before sneaking out of the room. I made sure to be quiet as I left the dorms and to listen for anyone that might be awake. Once outside of the doors I saw someone on the watchtower. Looked like it was Willy.

  I made a plan to distract him so I could hop the wall. Opening the gate would be to noisy and would let him know someone had pushed on them. I found a brick before looking for a way to jump the wall. I noticed I could climb a picnic table and jump up onto the wall that way but I had to be quick, the table was pretty close to the watchtower.

  Taking a deep breathe I began to execute my plan. I threw the brick over the wall on the opposite side I was climbing making Willy jump and point his bow in that direction. Not wasting any time I hopped the wall pretty easily thanks to the adrenaline. I quickly but quietly ran to the tree line, and out of Willy's sight.

  I hid behind a tree for a while until Willy shrugged and put the bow and arrow down. I sighed before moving farther into the forest. After a while of walking I heard the faint sound of rushing water, telling me I was close to the river. Following the sound I came across not only the river but a small shack and bridge.

  I noticed a figure on a rock by the river's edge a hand in the river. I held my breathe when they suddenly turned to look at me, only releasing it when Minnie's face was shown in the moonlight. She looked sad, but a smile replaced her frown when she saw me.

  She got up and made her way over to me. 'How the fuck is she so tall?' She was soon standing right in front of me. She was about to speak when we heard a twig break somewhere in the woods. Her eyes narrowed in the direction of the sound. "C'mon we can talk in the shack, might be walkers around."

  We went over to the shack making sure to keep an eye on the trees and our surroundings. I closed the door behind me and looked over to find her staring at a spot on the wall. A heart with an arrow and a V+M in the middle. She sighed, she didn't turn around to face me when she started talking.

  "It's weird Clem. I used to feel so strongly for her, even when just hearing her name I would get happy. Now though I just feel guilty, like I've betrayed her for not feeling that way anymore." I didn't know what to say. I had never really felt for someone like the way I do her, so I had no idea what it was like to lose feelings for someone.

  "But I don't want to feel guilty for my feelings for you." Her voice was lower than normal, like I wasn't supposed to hear it but I did. I placed a hand on her shoulder, she turned to look at me, letting the moonlight illuminate her face and I saw she had tears in her eyes. Cupping her cheeks in my hand I started talking, before I could think of what to say.

  "Minnie I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I know what your feeling because I don't. I've never felt like this for someone else before, but I think I understand what to do for you to feel better." She placed a hand over mine that was still on her cheek. "You need to talk to her Minnie. You can do it in your own time, but I don't want you to put it off forever to the point where it's wearing you down."

  A tear escaped her left eye as she looked into my eyes. I wiped it away as she started talking. "But what if these feelings go away too. I don't want to hurt you like that, ever." More tears fell from her eyes than I could wipe so I ran a hand through her hair and kept a hand on her cheek.
