When they got to the piano room, everyone was quite. They just looked up when they saw them come in and put their heads back down seconds after. Clem noticed that Gabe nor Aasim we're not anywhere in the room. She ignored it and just went along with Louis to get her food. After they grabbed their food, they sat with AJ, James, Jake, Cora and Ruby. When Clem sat down she noticed Cora's eyes were still red and puffy. So she's still been crying.... Clem sadly thought. Nobody said a word at the table. Everyone look so depressed. After a while Louis spoke, "Guys we have to talk, how bout we play-" but he was interrupted by Jake. "Not now Louis." He Said, not even look at him. Louis frowned but then Clem gave him a reassuring smile, which he gave back to her. But as soon as he turned away, her smile did too. What are going do...? She thought to herself. After a while, everyone started getting up to go put their plates away. Ruby was also about to get up until Clem interrupted her. "Hey Ruby, where are Gabe and Aasim? I didn't see them here." Clem asked. Ruby sighed and just said "Their resting, their fine." and quickly got up and put her plate down and left the room. Clem sighed, knowing all the pressure Ruby must be on. After all she was the only who REALLY knew what they were doing with injured people. The only ones left were James, AJ, Clem and Louis. "Hey guys I'm going to go, talk to you later." Louis Said. He didn't say anything else and quickly left the room. Now Clem started to feel much more sadder. Everything was falling down. But then she felt a tiny, warm little hand touch her's. She turned to see AJ. "Hey it's ok Clem, we'll be alright. Remember when things get bad just keep moving forward." Clem smiled and nodded. "That's right goofball, keep moving forward." She Said. "He's right Clementine, I mean you made it this far." James commented. Clem nodded and was about to get up when she felt a sharp pain in her leg. She groaned in pain, as it hurt so much that she had to sit back down. "Are you ok Clem?! Let me go get Ruby!" AJ Said and hurried off to the door. "No AJ, don't get Ruby she's done enough. Just-just take me to my room." She Said before AJ could go any farther. AJ hesitantly nodded, and with the help of James, carried her to her room. When they got there they carefully set her down on the bed. "Where does it hurt?" James Asked. Clem calmed down and replied, "On my metal leg." James hand slowly went on the metal leg and then stopped. He touched his fingers with it when he felt a deep hole in it. It looked like a bullet hole, but the bullet must've not gone all the way through. "Did you get shot on this leg earlier today? During the battle?" James Asked, still not taking his eyes of the hole. "Yes." Clem admitted. "Do you mind if I take of the leg?" He asked. Clem nodded, and slowly but surely, James took off the leg. When it came off, James was surprised at what he saw. The bandages that were supposed to cover  the rest of Clem's leg, were now falling off. He took those off and noticed the real damage. Her leg was bruised all around, all you could see was purple, black and blue. Without asking he gently touched it which made Clem yell in pain. "Omg Clem, this is really bad. It's all bruised up. And the metal leg is damaged. It might take weeks to prepare." "What are saying?" She asked nervously. "Well your not going to be able to use this leg for a while. And your real leg is really bad. So your going to need to rest as much as possibly and take care of your leg. So you'll need to use the crutches again." He Said. Clem immediately shook her head. "I can't use the crutches, I can't do anything with them!" She Said. "I don't like it to Clementine, but it's were we're at" James responded. Before Clem could argue any longer, there was knock on the door. The door opened and Gabe appeared. Clem smiled when she saw him. "Gabe your alright! How are you-" but Gabe interrupted her. "I'm fine Clem, but can you guys come outside, and oh take your hat off too" He Said. Clem then touched her head and felt her hat. She almost forgot she was wearing it. "Why, what happened?" She asked concerned. "We're having a funeral for Victoria." He Said
