(Okay, I'm Publishing This One Early, Cause I've Got Two More Parts Done)

"AJ, she's awake!" Violet exclaimed.

"Clem!" AJ yelled, running to Clementine's bed.

"What happened?" Clementine asked.

"That piece of shit from the boat, he had more walkers aboard... He let them loose in the middle of the night..." Violet replied.

"Then?" Clementine asked.

"AJ got picked up by these soldiers, just after me and you got stuck on a tree branch... I landed on it, on my back, and you were on top of me, on your stomach. Could have been a romantic way to die..." Violet continued.

"I'm glad you're ok, Clem!" AJ exclaimed, hugging Clementine.

"You got us both off the branch, and passed out. I carried you until I found a soldier. Then, we got brought here, and patched up." Violet finished.

"I love you. Both of you." Clementine declared, smiling.

"Well, Gabriel, looks like Clementine has a girlfriend..." A familiar voice caught Clementine's attention.

Clementine got up.

"Clem, easy!" Violet yelled.

"Javi?" Clementine asked, seeing the familiar voice's owner.

"Hey, take it easy!" Javier declared, shocked when Clementine hugged him.

"Wait, you know this guy?" Violet asked.

"I helped him, and he helped me." Clementine replied.

"So, how've you been, Clem?" Javier asked.

"Long story..." Clementine replied.

"Well, you got a girlfriend, a prosthetic leg, and a kid with a revolver." Javier joked.

"Okay, Clementine's Girlfriend, would like to talk to her for a minute." Violet declared, grabbing Clementine's arm.

"Violet, what's up?" Clementine asked.

"Why are you so 'cuddly' around that guy? You did him a favor, and he did you one. So, why are you so trusting with him?" Violet asked.

"He's a friend." Clementine replied.

"So, Javi, is she okay?" Another familiar voice asked, a bit muffled.

"She's awake. So's her girlfriend." Javier replied.

"Violet, I love you. Please, just give these people a chance." Clementine pleaded.

"Alright." Violet spoke, holding Clementine's hand.

"Come in." Clementine declared, seeing Gabe, Javier, and Kate come in.

"Hey, Clem." Kate spoke, sitting in a chair, next to the bed.

Clementine smiled.

"Hey, Gabe." Clementine declared, coughing a bit.

"You have a girlfriend?" Gabe asked, shocked.

"Yeah..." Clementine replied.

"Gabe, chill." Kate declared.

"So, you're all friends of Clem's?" Violet asked.

"This is Violet, my amazing girlfriend, that made me this prosthetic after AJ cut off my leg." Clementine declared, hugging Violet.

"Why'd AJ cut off your leg?" Kate asked.

"I got bit..." Clementine replied.

"Oh... Well, have you all travelled the whole time?" Javier asked.

"So..." Clem started explaining everything, from when she found AJ, to the boat.

"Well, that's a hell of a story..." Kate declared, looking out the window.

"Kate, what is it?" Javier asked, looking out the window.

"What's up?" Violet asked.

"Muertos... Lots of em..." Javier replied.

Clementine got up, again.

"Clem?" Violet asked.

"You guys got a few guns, and maybe an axe?" Clementine asked.

"Yeah." Javier replied.

"AJ, stay with me and Violet. If the walkers get up here, kill as many as you can, then, me, you, and Violet are going to try to escape." Clementine spoke, coughing.

Walkers were instantly inside.

"Fuck!" Clementine yelled.

Just as a walker was about to bite AJ, Clementine woke up.

...

"Clem, wake up!" Violet exclaimed, shaking Clementine.

"Violet..." Clementine started.

"I gotta change your bandages." Violet declared, sitting Clementine up.

"Violet... Where's AJ?" Clementine asked.

"He's okay... He's in the other room. If not for him, we'd both be dead." Violet replied.

"Why am I in a coat?" Clementine asked.

"It's winter. Now, I'm gonna need you to, uh... Your shirt's in the way..." Violet spoke, embarrassed.

Clementine lifted her shirt, letting Violet remove the old bandages.

"Didn't we both get hurt?" Clementine asked.

"Yeah... The branch stabbed through the side of my stomach. And... Nearly through your heart..." Violet replied, putting the new bandages on Clementine.

Clementine pulled her shirt back down.

"How long has it been?" Clementine asked.

"You were out for a week." Violet explained, laying Clementine back down.

Violet got up, ready to head out.

"W-wait, stay with me?" Clementine asked.

Violet laid on the bed, next to Clementine.

"I love you." Clementine declared, hugging Violet.
