Carley's POV

You and Lee are asleep on the couch, still waiting for the phone to ring.

AJ: Mom? Dad?

You and Lee wake up to see AJ.

Lee: Oh, hey, buddy. What're you doing up?

AJ: We gotta go to school.

Lee looks at his watch.

Lee: Ah, shit. I gotta go.

AJ: Swear.

Lee: Sorry.

Carley: I think I need to take the day. I'm just really worried about Clementine.

Lee: It's alright. Just relax for today.

You nod. He pecks you on the lips and stands up. Him, AJ, and Tenn walk out of the house; Aasim and Willy go with a friend.

You sigh, thinking about Clementine and Y/N. You're wondering if something happened to them. You look out the window to see Y/N's dad drinking whiskey out the bottle on the front steps from across the street.

You squint at him.

Carley's thoughts: Something's off about him.

He spits on the ground.

Carley's thoughts: ...He's definitely not innocent in this. I doubt he'd kidnap Clementine, but...maybe he's involved with something.

You stand up from the couch and you walk over to the door. You open it and you step outside, closing the door behind you. You walk down the steps and across the street.

Carley: Hey.

Y/N's dad: The hell do you want?

Carley: Why're you drinking outside?

Y/N's dad: What's it any o' yer damn business?

Carley: My sons just walked by with my husband. I think I at least deserve an explanation.

Y/N's dad: Jesus. The fucker took off with his girlfriend.

Carley: Clementine isn't dating.

Y/N's dad: Psshh! Please.

He takes another sip.

Carley: Why would Y/N take off? Why would he take Clementine?

Y/N's dad: He's goin' to see his fuckin' mom. He probably took Clementine 'cause she knows how to drive. He says, taking another sip.

Carley: You're not worried?

Y/N's dad: Nope. Don't care.

Carley: Well, sorry, but Y/N and Clementine are out there right now, and I give a fuck about their well-being.

Y/N's dad: Congrats. You wanna cookie?

Carley: I want you to get off your lazy ass and tell me where the hell your wife is!

Y/N's dad: Ex-wife. And I don't know. If I did, I wouldn't tell ya. Longer that dumb-ass stays away, the happier I am.

Carley: You know something I don't. So tell me HOW I can find her!

Y/N's dad stands up.

Y/N's dad: What the hell you want from me, lady?! I ain't got shit, 'cept my drink. Now please get the hell off my property.

He sits back down.

Carley: This isn't over.

You turn around and you walk back to the house. You walk up the steps, inside the house, slam the door closed, and you sit back down on the couch.

Carley: Urgh!

You sigh. You look at the phone. You've called Clementine, maybe, a hundred times. She doesn't respond to any.

You pick up the phone and you dial her number. You put the phone to your ear and it starts ringing. She doesn't pick up. You try again.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter--I had to do this bullshit thing for school.
