Part 4-♥️

Clem P.O.V"Hey sweet pea." God it was Lee. Not again..not another dream. He was sitting at Louis's piano. I began to tear up. "Hey,Lee." I failed him. I failed,Lee. A.J. was MY responsibility and he was gone. I sat down at the piano with him. "I failed you,Lee. A.J. Is gone all because of me.",I started to cry. "Oh sweet pea,don't cry. A.J. is in a better place. You have a boy that loves you and would do anything for you." Who was he talking about? A.J. was gone. Then it hit me just like the snap of fingers. Was he talking about L-Louis? "Lee,who are you talking about?" He laughed. "Don't pretend you don't know.",he laughed. I blushed. "I miss you,Lee. I wish you could be here. I need advice. I need someone,someone besides Louis." "So Louis is his name? Well he loves you..a lot more than you think. I miss you too but if you need someone to talk to try to talk to Louis.",he continued, "He's worried about you....about what happened."' I completely forgot about it. More tears dropped down from my face. "Clementine,it's time. You have people to get to." ———————————————————————— I opened my eyes and felt moisture all over my cheeks. Was I crying? "Clem?",I heard Louis say. I saw him sitting next to me on the bed. "What happened?",he asked. I sat up and grabbed my hat from the nightstand. I inched my way next to Louis. I was speechless. "Was it a bad dream or..?" "It was about Lee." He looked worried. "The guy who used to protect you?",he asked. "Yes." "What happened?" "He talked about A.J. and you. I miss him so much." He put his arm around me and kissed my forehead. "I'm here for you ok." I put my head on his shoulder. I loved him so much but I didn't now how to tell him. "Clem,is there something that you want to get off your chest?",he asked. I looked up into this eyes and leaned in. Our lips meant. He just smiled after he kiss. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me something? It just seems like your hiding something." I wanted to tell him that I loved him but I was too shy. It was too soon. Way too soon. "No, I really don't have anything that I need to say. I'm ok." I wasn't ok,nothing was ok.

2 hour time skip

God I was starving. Thank god it was finally lunch time. I grabbed a serving of rabbit stew and sat with the others. "Hey,Clem.",Lyla said. "Oh,Hey." "Clem, are you ok?",she asked. "A lot of things have been on my mind lately. It's nothing important.", I lied. "You can tell me,ok?" "Later." I finished my rabbit stew and put it with the other dirty plates. Lyla grabbed me by the hand and lead me away from the others. "So,what's up with you?" I wanted to tell her about Louis and I but I couldn't tell her. She'd probably tell everyone else if I told her. But,she'd have to know sometime or she'd figure it out herself. "It's Louis",I sighed. "Ok..go on." "I have f-feelings for him and I t-t-think we are a....thing..?" "Woah..wait did you guys kiss?",she giggled. "Maybe...",I laughed. She put her arms around me,"I'm so happy for you..just don't break his heart." "I promise I won't." She pulled away from the hug. "Well guess what?",she smiled, "I'm dating Violet." I laughed, "How do you put up with her?" "I honestly don't know,she's annoying sometimes but,I love her.",she continued to smile.    I went off into the library to look at some books. I pulled a poetry book off one of the shelves and started to read it. It had some pretty interesting things to say about nature,love, and life. One of them made my heart flutter. I could imagine Louis saying something like it. I put the book back on the shelf and felt a hug from behind. I looked behind me,it was Louis. He put his head on hm shoulder and placed a kiss on my cheek.   "Clem?" I pulled away from the hug and turned around to look him in the eyes. "Did I ever tell you have beautiful you are?",his statement made me cringe. I laughed,"Yeah,ok,Louis." "What? It's true.",he smiled. For a moment we just looked into each other's eyes until he leaned in. My lips were on top of his in seconds.    "I wish I could stay but I have to go hunting for Aasim. I'll see you later,my love." He walked off and joined Aasim. My love. My heart fluttered. Was I falling in love with Louis? I knew the answer but I couldn't quite admit it to myself.   While Louis was gone Lyla and I got to know each other better. We spent time laughing together and enjoying one another's company. I did consider her my friend...possibly best friend. It's been 4 hours and Louis still hasn't come back.   I got up from the table and went into my room. I couldn't live like this anymore. I needed to tell Louis how I felt. I was holding all my feelings in when I really should tell him. I needed someone or something. I buried my head into my knees and cried for about an hour. I was feeling so many emotions all at once I couldn't handle it. I needed help and I had to stop denying it. I needed Louis. Once I calmed down I walked outside and sat myself down by a tree. I sat and thought about everything and everyone. It only felt like an eternity until Louis walked in the gate with Aasim and a few rabbits. Wow. Not just a few rabbits,more than a few rabbits. They each had a bag filled with at least 5 rabbits each. I ran over to him and embraced him. "God, what took you so long? I was getting worried.",I said. "Don't worry about it." He noticed my face was stained with tears and asked what was wrong. "I'll tell you later. In private." He smiled at me,a reassuring smile. They gave the rabbits to Omar and Louis came over to me. "Do..you wanna go talk about it?" I nodded my head and took him into my room. "Louis...I haven't been completely honest with you about everything.",I continued, "I'm just lost and I need help..someone. Ever since A.J. died it just set me off edge." "Wait a minute I think I know what your trying to say.", he continued, "Is it about A.J.?" I shakes my head left to right telling him "no." He sat down and patted the spot on the bed next to him. I sat down next to him and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "It's about you..us." He looked me dead in the eyes, "Are you breaking up with me?" "No, definitely not.",I smiled. "Louis, thank for for being here,listening. I really wouldn't be alive without you. And if something were to happen to you...I wouldn't know what to do. I care about you...a lot." His eyes widened because of what I said. "I care about you too.",he smiled. "I wanted to tell you that I care about you using better words...I guess. I just...don't make fun of me." ,I went on, "I love you...I love you so so much." At this point I began crying. He took his shelve and wiped away my tears. "Aw Clem I got to your soft spot." I gave him a death glare. "Don't worry you got to mine too.", he continued, "I love you too."

A/N: Ok um EW. (I suck at writing) I went back and read this chapter and lemme just say I'm trying so hard not to laugh. I am beyond sore for my bad grammar and my cringe worthy writing skills 😂🤧 Word count;1,383
