Now it's morning, still early. A sunrise with lovely colors of blues and purples, with bare trees everywhere, surrounding them. 

Julian was walking ahead, with Tenn who followed close behind him, keeping an eye out for any walkers. Or anyone really. 

He was humming quietly, thinking to himself. He just kept going, following where Tenn tells him to head over, towards a school the boy told him about. Where his group is. 

Julian silently hoped that they're nice, like James, he figured they might be. If they are anything like Tenn. 

He got to a gate, finally, and he was startled by another boy (who was younger than Tenn) aiming a gun at him. 

"Who are you?" That boy asked, in a low voice. 

Julian was slightly intimidated, a bit threatened, but he is determined too. But before he could say anything, he heard another voice. 

This voice belonged to that of a female about his age. "AJ.." 

"What? We don't know him, he could.." 'AJ' had started saying. 

Julian had a thought and realized who this boy is, remembering that Tenn mentioned him. 

"..I miss the others. Especially AJ." 

Tenn appeared from behind Julian, looking at them, mostly at AJ. 

"Tenn?" AJ sounded hopeful and relieved, a warm tone in his voice, slightly. 

"Hey, AJ." 

AJ grabbed Tenn's hand, he pulled him and dragged Tenn away. To talk to him, alone. 

That not anyone seems to mind this. 

Tenn lets him do that, not minding it. 

He walked somewhere else with AJ. He wanted to talk to his friend after all. After it has been awhile, so long it seemed (to him anyway), being away from him. 

Clementine let Julian in too.

When they are alone now, AJ talked to him, looking at Tenn again. 

"Everyone thought you died. Because, you know, you're you." 

Tenn had his hands together, his fingers intertwined, like he always does. His usual habit to do so. "No, I'm okay." He walked over to him, slowly. 

"Good." AJ said 

At first, Tenn was shocked that AJ had said this, then a smile got onto his lips. 

Tenn kneeled down and hugged him, wrapping his arms around AJ. He holds him. 

AJ hugs Tenn too. He also wraps his arms around him now. 

Tenn smiled, while holding AJ. Then, it faded slightly as a thought was on his mind. 

"I'm sorry about Violet." Tenn said to him. He frowned, then he was talking sadly, in a quiet voice. "I'm..I'm sorry I didn't listen to you or Clem. I'm sorry. I don't know why I mess up all the time. I'm just..I'm really sorry. I wish it was different." 

"You just loved your sister so much, you let her mess with your head. She probably was a lot different before and that's all you could remember and so you made a mistake." AJ told him as he looked at Tenn. 

Tenn had a slight sad expression. "You're just being really nice to me." 

AJ sighed softly, although he kept his eyes on him. "I mean it. It's..it's okay what you did because of all that." He was staring at Tenn. "I thought a lot about it and I've felt a lot of ways about it. Then I decided to forgive you."
