When The World Went To Hell

How Do You Deal With Fear?

(Vincent's pov)

I finished looking at the papers as I got up from the chair and headed out the room to see AJ laying on the couch still and I look to AJ who was still laying on the couch I go and I pick him up gently and take him to his and Clementine's old room. I open the door and lay him on the bed.

"Vincent?" He asked and I looked to him.

"Yea?" I asked.

"Sorry." He says and I look to him and I sit on the ground next to his bed.

"Sorry for what?" I asked.

"Wasting medicine." He tells me and I look to him a bit.

"You.... You didn't waste medicine, you were hurt, you needed it." I tell him and he looked to me a bit sad.

"Just relax and heal up, get better." I tell him and he nods and closes his eyes and I head out the room. I go outside to see Clementine, Mitch, and Ruby all coming back with some barbed wire and some fertilizer as well.

"What's with the fertilizer?" I asked.

"Mitch said something about making a bomb." Clementine tells me and I nod.

"Alright, that could be useful." I say and they all nod. We all went to the court yard and we began to work. I helped Clementine set up the barbed wire on the top of the wall as the others began to work on other forms of weapons and setting the tables up in a certain way.

"I set AJ in your guy's room." I tell her as I set the barbed wire in a hole of the wall to keep it secured.

"Thank you." She says and I look up to her.

"Do uh... do you still want to play that twenty questions game?" I ask her and she looked up at me and nods just a bit.

"I have a question though." She says and I nod.

"Ask away." I tell her as I work a bit more.

"Louis and them called you Violet.... Why?" She asked and I froze a bit and looked up to her as she looked at me.

"I... that was my old name.... it wasn't legally changed before the world went to shit so.... Yea Vincent is the name I want to go by." I tell her as I set my hands on the wall and move a bit to fix the wires.

"Isn't Violet a girl name though?" She asked and I look to her again and nod.

"I uh.... Yea, my parents thought I was a girl." I somewhat lie to her.

"Oh, so they didn't have a guy name for you when they found out?" She asked and I nodded a bit.

"Yea pretty much." I say as we finish up on the one section on the wall. I look up to her to see her working more as I come up to her and grabbed another portion of the wires.

"That's just really weird, not saying that your name is weird but uh." She tried to say but I laughed a bit.

"Nah it's all good, it's weird to name a child after a flower, or color.... or fruit." I say as I smirk at her and she also laughs as well.

"Or a song." She says and I smile as I finish with the wires.

"Oh, my darlin, oh my darlin." I start to sing and she looks to me.

"Don't." She warns.

"Oh, my darlin Clementine, you were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry Clementine." I sing and she looks to me a bit and I smile just a bit and she laughed a bit and I chuckle along with her.

"I remember when my mother would sing that song to me as a child." She says and I look to her.

"Did your mother ever sing to you?" She asked and I shook my head no.
