Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: How Dare He

'Ugh! How dare he assume I can't take care of myself! That prick will see that I'm doing just fine on my own" Clementine thought, in a fit of rage against her old friend

Suddenly she hears the bar door slam open behind her. She already knows who it is so before he can get to her she starts down the street. She doesn't really want to go home just yet, it's still early, so she doesn't really know where to go. She was hoping that it would have lasted longer

"Clementine! Clem! Hey! Come back!"

Full of anger she turns around and yells "What? What do you want?"

He finally catches up to her "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, I know, but I really do want to catch up with you, It's been forever, and maybe you have changed, so can we please start over?"

She thinks it over for a moment. He was her oldest, and really only friend growing up, and he was there for her whenever something happened plus he did sound sorry

"....Fine. We can start over" she said very begrudgingly

Alistar smiled triumphantly, very happy that he got another chance to talk to his childhood best friend "So you wanna go get another drink?"

She shrugged "I guess. I don't want to drink that much though. I would rather not be hungover tomorrow"

"Oh c'mon Clemmie. I thought you weren't the same cautious kid I used to know"

"Trust me, I'm not. I am nothing like that little 8th grader you used to know"

"Oh really? Then prove it"

"Oh you are on old man" She walked back into the bar, sitting down at an empty seat at the bar, ordering 2 shots of rum

He chuckled before following her into the bar

After a few hours they were both more than tipsy. They both decided it was time to go home since it was 1 in the morning and they both had work in the morning

"Want me to walk you home Clemmie?"

"Mmmmm no. I'm fine"

"You sure Clem? It would be no problem"

"I'm sure Alistar. I can walk myself home. I can take care of myself"

He nods, not wanting to set her off again "Alright. If you say so. But I swear to god if I have to find your dead body in the morning-"

"I'll be fine Alistar!" She says angrily before walking off

He rubs the nape of his neck, deciding to get over it and just head home for the night
