Tenn nods, Louis looked like he was about to say something but just exited the room instead. "I do too." Tenn gives a sad smile and leaves as well. You got up, figuring you would go talk with Clem and AJ while the vote happened.

You walk out the door and walk to one of the windows, glancing outside. You didn't see anybody. You then realized they were probably voting at the graves then. You walk up the Clem and AJ's room, took a small while but you made it. You could hear them talking inside and knocked. You could hear Clem say a kind of faint 'Come in.'

You opened the door and closed it behind you, the two now looking at you. "Aren't you supposed to be voting right now?" Clementine asks, standing up from the bed she was sitting on with AJ. "I'm not going to hold back if I see Mitch again at this current moment." You explain looking at Clementine. "What was your vote?" AJ questions, you couldn't read his expression but he looked nervous. "I want you guys to stay. I really do. I know Violet probably does as well." Clem smiles, "Thanks." You nod, your vote probably wouldn't be enough to win them to stay though. "It might not be enough. But we can hope." You see AJ nod and mess with a loose string on the end of his shirt, trying to pull it off but just makes it longer. "Want me to get that?" AJ looks at you and shrugs, holding the string.

"These are always annoying." You chuckle, walking over. You hold onto the string and bring out your knife, putting it to where it started. Clementine moved to where she could see what you were doing. You couldn't blame her for being concerned on what you do. You cut the string off and throw it somewhere random. AJ runs his finger over the spot the string used to be then gave you a smile and a thumbs up. You mimic his actions and look at Clem. "Anything I can do for you?" She shakes her head instantly. "You've done plenty for us. More than you needed to."

AJ raises his hand like a student in a classroom. You smile and glance at him, "Yes AJ?" He puts his hand down, "Could you maybe help me get another toy? Tenn gave me one earlier too, but I don't want to keep playing with the same ones." You nod even though the only toys that were nearby were all Tenn's. Then you remember the little stickman figure you made with the help of Brody a while ago. You had the one Brody made in your bag in Violets room so you didn't care where this one went. You took the wooden figure out of your pocket. "Catch little man." You toss it lightly over to him and he catches it instantly. "Nice!" AJ says messing with it for a second before asking Clem to put it in her pocket. She does so with no questions asked. "AJ aren't you forgetting something?" Clementine looks at him and puts her hands on her hips. AJ stared at her for a second before looking like a deer in headlights with his eyes widening. "Oh! Right! Thank you!" AJ grins at you. "No problem kid."

You're all interrupted by another knock at the door. This one makes your stomach churn, and not in a good way. The door opens without an invitation in. Violet walks inside with an upset expression, Louis behind her, he looked somewhat calm. She left the door open so you supposed they or rather Clem and AJ were going to leave fast. You frown.

"We took the vote." Violet glances at you before locking eyes with Clem. "You have to leave." You knew it wasn't enough. "Don't we get to vote?" AJ looks at them hopeful. "I vote that we stay." Louis shakes his head, "That's not how it works." You frown, "That should be how it works." Violet looks at him. "You don't have to like it." Louis faces her, crossing his arms. "Good! Cause I don't!" She takes a step forward to him.

"Fine, I get it. We'll learn to live with your decision somehow." You and Violet looked at her surprised, "Seriously?" Violet huffs. "That's it?" You throw your arms out in exaggeration and let them fall back to your sides. "You know this is wrong and you're not gonna fight it at all?!" Violet looked desperate and you didn't know- oh. Now you get it. "What's the point? You already decided.." AJ hugged Clem and you gave him a pitiful glance. "Yes we did." Louis rolls his eyes, "So fucking stupid." You knew Violet wasn't a crier, but she looked just as upset as she looked when she was at the graves. She always tried to cover her feelings up. But you could see right through her.

"You said you'd go along with it. If we voted fairly." Louis says, Violet gives him a nasty glare, "It's bullshit, and you'd know it if you weren't so used to burying your head in the sand." She had a point. "Oh I'm burying my head in the sand? Hate Marlon all you want but you can't tell me AJ isn't dangerous too!" He gestures to the kid who was now rubbing his arm nervously. AJ breathed out shakily, Clem putting a hand on his shoulder as Louis grimaces and stops pointing at them. You shook your head and looked at Violet who stared at you back. She then looked back towards Clem and AJ.

"We'll wait for you to pack up. Then Louis and I will escort you out past the safe zone." She goes quiet for a second before adding on, "We'll make sure you get to the road safely." Louis looks away for a short second. "It's not a lot but at least you won't die on the way." Louis chimes in, "We could've happily dumped you outside the gates." Clementine shakes her head, she looked slightly pissed. "Don't bother. We don't want your help." You grin at her, truly they didn't seem like they needed help.

"So don't think of it as help." He breathes out a sigh, "Think of it as us making sure you really leave." AJ then takes a few steps towards them. "Wheres Tenn? I gotta say goodbye." Your heart melted a bit at that. You hoped he'd be able to. "He a was really upset about the vote, and he's not talking to anybody.." AJ frowned and looked at the ground. "It's best to leave him alone when he's like this but.. for the record, he wanted you to stay." Tenn had told you he wanted them to stay earlier. You feel bad for him, you think Tenn had become good friends with AJ in the short while he knew him.

AJ gives a small smile before it goes back to a frown. You were all about to leave before Louis stops everyone, "Wait. Does AJ still have that gun?" AJ walks over to his bag and pulls out a gun. The same one that he killed Marlon with. Louis walks over and you could see his face twist to sadness before going back to being serious. He held his hand out, "Hand it over." Violet let's put a frustrated growl, "Is this really necessary?" You shake your head, "No it's not." You walk over and slap Louis's hand away from him. "Keep the gun AJ. You'll need it for monsters." AJ looks at Clementine who nods. He nods at you and walks back over to Clementine.

Louis looks at the hand you slapped and closes his fist, putting it back down to his sides, "Fine then, let the kid keep the murder weapon." Violet looks at him, "He needs a weapon. These woods aren't exactly zombie free." He just rolls his eyes at her. "Violet?" She turns to look at you, "Can I come?" She shrugs, "Yeah, sure." Clementine throws her bag over her shoulders and takes a final look around the room, stopping her gaze on a drawing. You look at it as well, a drawing AJ must've made for Clem. It was really sweet. 'Me protecting Clem.' Is what it read. She grabs her hat and put it on her head before walking towards the doorway with AJ. She turns around, waiting for us to follow, to which we do. You guessed the only good thing out of this whole night was that you had your room back.
