TWDG Season 4 (Clementine X Male Reader)

Chapter 8: Atonement

AJ, You and Clem are in their room. You wake up and get out of bed. AJ is already awake along with Clem; she brings a cup of coffee to you.

AJ: "Made you some coffee. It was in the kitchen. Tenn said that I could have some. I didn't steal it."

You take the coffee cup and have a sip as Clem sits next to you. Her coffee in her right hand.

Clementine: "I'm surprised you remember how to make it. We haven't had coffee in a long time."

AJ: "You put it in hot water."

Y/N: "You're right. Thanks."

AJ: "Last night, with Marlon? I heard Louis, and...what he called me. Am I a murderer?"

----------------------------------

Clem, You and the rest of the group are in the courtyard. Surrounding Marlon's dead body, the blood is still on your face and your basically shell shocked.

Louis: "No!"

Omar: "Oh, my god!"

Violet: "Shit!"

Ruby: "We could get medicine. From the nurse's office." She says from behind the group.

Mitch: "He's dead! The kid blew his brains out!"

Louis: "You shot him. He's dead. You're a murderer." He looks over at AJ who's beside you and Clem.

Louis: "You promised Marlon! You said you'd help him fix things!" Louis looks towards you. "What the fuck did you teach this kid?!"

----------------------------------

AJ: "Louis called me a murderer. But...but we're supposed to kill bad stuff. Monsters. Did I do it bad? I thought Marlon was bad. He killed Brody, he...he kept telling lies." AJ stands in front of the two of you.

Clementine: "This'll be hard to hear. Louis was right. Sometimes people do bad things, like Marlon did. But when you shot him, he wasn't a threat to us anymore. If you kill someone when they're no longer threatening you, that's murder."

AJ: "Even if they were bad?"

Y/N: "Even then. It was wrong."

----------------------------------

Back at the courtyard, the group surrounds AJ. Violet steps in front of him and brandishes her cleaver.

Violet: "Back off! All of you!"

Louis: "It was under control! I talked Marlon down, then... He murdered my fucking friend!"

Back at the courtyard, the group surrounds AJ. Violet steps in front of him and brandishes her cleaver. You look over at Mitch and see him flexing his fist, you and Clem walk to violet and stand beside her.

Violet: "Take AJ, go inside."

Clementine: "Come on, let's go."

Louis: "Oh, just let them go back to the dorms?! What happens the next time one of us does something this kid doesn't like? Should we expect a bullet, too?"

Violet: "That's not what happened."

Louis: "It's exactly what happened! It was over, 'til little Mr. Trigger-Happy decided otherwise!"

Y/N: "No, he wouldn't do that! He'd never hurt any of you! It was--Marlon threatened us!"

Louis: "AJ pointed the gun first!"
