Clementine's pov
An hour later

No. No. Lee! No!

Lee:"Clementine."

I open my eyes , sit up, and I see Lee.

Me:"Lee...?"

Lee:"It's just a bad dream, sweet pea. What was it about? Duck?"

Oh, god. I heard everything they said.

Me:"He's bit..."

Lee:"We don't know how this works yet. Maybe it's like a cold. His mom's a doctor. Maybe she can help him. When I was a kid, I never got sick, but my brother always had somethin'. I always thought he was fakin' it."

Me:"It's not like a cold."

Lee:"No... it's probably not."

He's dying and I didn't... I haven't...

Me:"I feel bad."

Lee:"Why?"

Me:"I called him a crybaby...when I hid the bug in his pillow."

Lee:"Oh, that's okay, honey. You didn't mean it."

I was just playing around with him. But...

Me:"Lee..."

Lee:"Hmm."

Me:"Why did Lilly do that to Carley?"

Lee:"I don't know. She was sad, Clem. That can make people angry sometimes."

Me:"Have you ever been that angry?"

Lee:"One time. Clem, people don't always make sense."

Me:"How come?"

Lee:" 'Cause bad things happen to everyone. And it's hard to keep bein' yourself after they do. Do you think we should've let Lilly stay?"

Me:"I don't think so."

Lee:"I don't know. It wasn't easy. I don't know if we did the right thing."

Me:"How can you tell?"

Lee:"Well, it's not like math, Clem. Sometimes there isn't a right answer."

Me:"I hate math."

Lee chuckles.

Lee:"Me too, sweet pea. Yeah, but part of growing up is doing what's best for the people you care about...even if sometimes...that means hurting someone else."

Me:"I don't want to hurt anyone."

Lee:"It's not that easy."

Oh, no.

Me:"I'm scared, Lee."

Lee:"What can I tell you to make it better?"

Me:"That you won't leave me."

Lee:"Oh, I wouldn't do that. I promise. Everything's gonna be alright."I hope you're right. I don't... I don't want that nightmare come true. I lay my head on Lee's chest and Lee put his arm around me."Now let's try to get some sleep."

Me:"Okay, Lee."

I close my eyes and try to fall asleep.

Lee's pov
Few hours later

I hear sweet pea moaning. Another bad dream. She lift her head and....

Me:"Clem! Fuck!"I scoot away from Clementine that now, somehow, became a Walker. I grab her and start pushing her away."What happened?!? Holy shit! Get off of me!"
