Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long. I thought with summer coming around I'd have more time to write, but it turned out that summer was actually WAY busier than when I'm in school. No worries though, I'm once again working on this story for anyone still reading. Without further ado, here's chapter 4!

Inevitable 04 - Revelation

*7 days later*

"That's a lot of walkers."

"Yeah, it is."

"What should we do?" Gabe asked, a crowbar in hand. We had gone out to fetch some supplies from the shed by the river, but before we could get there, we were met with a swarm of walkers heading towards us. There had to be at least ten of them. Usually, this would be an easy job for me. I felt confident enough not to use my crutches today, but I still couldn't run just yet. "We could turn around and head back," he suggested to me.

"I won't be fast enough. We'll have to take them out ourselves."

I grabbed my knife from my pocket and braced myself. This was going to be my first time killing some walkers in a while. I had to do it perfectly, or else this wouldn't end well. Gabe and I slowly moved towards the group of walkers. I still had a slight limp considering I had only just gotten this new leg and was adjusting to it. You can do this. It's just a couple of walkers, less than a dozen.

Gabe swung at the first walker that got close to us, blood splattering as his crowbar hit its skull. He swung at another one before the first's body could make it to the floor. To my surprise, he was really good at this. Feeling a little better about the situation at hand, I made my way towards a walker that was lurching towards me, its arms outstretched while it growled. I looked at its jagged teeth as it grew close and felt my heart beat a little faster. I was confused as to why my heart started to race, but pushed that aside as I sunk my knife into the side of the walker's head. It fell to the ground with a thud after I pulled the knife back out and looked around for the next monster I'd have to kill.

Not far off, another walker limped towards me. I took a few steps forward and jammed my knife between its eyes. I yanked it out and looked around for Gabe. He had killed a majority of the walkers already, only a few of them still staggering around. We just had to get these last ones and then we'd be in the clear.

I felt something tugging at my left pant leg, along with a growling sound. Quickly, I looked down and yelped out in surprise. There was a walker on the ground, gnawing on my left leg. Well, my prosthetic leg to be more specific. What if that had been my right leg? My real leg? My mind thought back to that cliff with AJ, where the walker got a hold of me and bit my leg. I remembered kicking it off of me and rushing for AJ's help, the horror when I removed my boot and saw teeth marks on my skin.

My heart raced as I stared at the walker on the ground. Do something! Why can't I move?! The walker tugged at my leg and caused me to lose my balance. I fell to the ground and cried out in pain before turning my attention back to the walker. As I began to kick the walker away with my right foot, I heard a voice call out to me.

"Clem!" Gabe yelled, running over to where I was. He smashed the walker's skull in with his weapon and held his hand out. "Come on, we need to get inside."

I looked at his hand with wide eyes and felt my heart race. I still couldn't get myself to move. My eyes looked at his lips telling me to get up, but I was tuning him out. I couldn't focus on anything besides that walker. Besides fear. I was freezing up and that had never happened to me before.

The next thing I knew, Gabe was picking me up and carrying me away from the scene. It was all a blur, but I could feel myself hyperventilating as his feet moved us to the shed. Once we were inside, he set me down on the table in the middle of the room and stood back. He breathed heavily as his eyes darted around the room and then back at me. I tried to calm myself down, and I think he was doing the same. He looked worried and nervous. "Clem, that walker..." he said with a concerned look. "I think it bit you."

Right. He still didn't know about my leg, I guess. I looked up at him slowly. "Maya didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

With a heavy sigh, I pulled up the pant leg to just below my knee, revealing the prosthetic leg under it. He blinked a couple times and stepped closer to get a better look. "I got bit, and I had to cut it off," I said, recalling the recent past. Gabe nodded and didn't speak for a couple of seconds as he continued staring at my leg. I wondered what he was thinking. I couldn't tell if the look on his face was shock, pity, fear, or a mix of all three. He placed his hands in his pockets, his mouth twitched with uncertainty before responding to me.

"So, is that why you couldn't move earlier? Because you've been bitten before?" he asked me. "You're like, traumatized or something, right?"

Traumatized. The way I froze up and had flashbacks to when I got bit wasn't something that normally happened to me when I was killing walkers. I was traumatized. Huh...

"I... I guess I am," I exhaled, putting my hands on my lap. I thought more about it and let out a nervous laugh. "Shit, I'm scared of walkers..."

"There's probably worse things that could happen. Don't worry," Gabe told me, trying to reassure me that everything was okay.

"Like what? Not being able to move when a walker comes up to you? Sounds pretty bad to me."

He scratched his head while looking down. "I mean, yeah, that does sound bad," he replied. "Sorry, I feel like I'm saying all the wrong things. I just... I don't know."

Gabe walked over to where I was at and lifted himself onto the table to sit next to me. He wasn't really saying anything to help me, but it wasn't his fault. Even I didn't know what to do with all of this. How could I have a fear of walkers after all I've been through? My heart still felt like it was beating fast and my nerves were still on edge. Even my breathing hadn't steadied yet. I pulled my pant leg back over my prosthetic and took a deep breath, feeling a little frustrated with my new revelation. "It's okay Gabe, maybe just... talk about something else. So I can calm down or whatever."

"I can try," he said, tapping his finger against the table until he thought of something to say. "Laine and Tyler have been going out every day to see if our group's come back for us, but they haven't shown up. I'm starting to wonder if they're coming to get all of us."

I raised an eyebrow at him while I tried to get my breathing back to a normal rate. "Really? You think you guys will need to stay longer?"

"If that's okay with you, Clem. We don't know where else to go. There's nothing else out here for miles."

"Of course," I smiled at him. How could I say no? "Everyone has been good and helpful to us these past couple of days. Not to mention, Gabe, I trust you."

He chuckled and looked down. "That's good to hear," he commented. By the focused look on his face, I could tell he was trying to come up with something else to talk about. I looked over and saw his eyes focused on my hand. "I never asked how you got that tattoo on your hand," he said while pointing at it.

I gazed down at my hand and looked at the letters spelling "AJ" that were permanently etched on my skin. It was faded now, compared to when I first got it. "This girl I used to know, Jane, did this," I replied, turning my hand at a different angle for a better look. I had mixed feelings about Jane after the mind game she put me through. She was the reason Kenny lost it, and I wasn't sure what to do other than shoot. It's a decision I regretted but had to live with. Nevertheless, she didn't do that bad of a job on the tattoo, considering all she used was ink and a needle.

"Looks better than mine," Gabe said, rolling down his sleeve and showing me his forearm.

I squinted my eyes at the symbol written across his skin, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to say. "Um, I don't know what that is," I admitted to him.

"Exactly my point," he laughed. "It's supposed to say Mari. You know, for my sister, Mariana. This guy I knew tried to do it for me, but I think I was allergic to whatever needle he was using and he didn't get to finish it."

That's unfortunate. It looks pretty bad. "It's not that bad," I reassured him, knowing that whatever was scribbled on his arm was incomprehensible.

"Are you lying?"

"No, I mean it." Sometimes lying for a good cause is okay. "If I look at it from a certain angle, it almost looks like it says Maya."

He looked taken aback by my observation. "Thank God it doesn't say that," he said, pulling his sleeve back down.

I had to say, I was confused as to why he was so opposed to Maya. She was a pretty girl, and it seemed like they had a somewhat close relationship. They bickered a lot but it was a sign of comfortableness, nonetheless. "You seem close with Maya," I noted, watching as he finished adjusting his shirt sleeve. "Did anything ever happen with you two?"

He laughed and shook his head. "No, nothing like that," he responded. "She's nice and everything, but," he paused, only for a second. "It's just that she reminds me of Mariana."

Was Mariana really that wild? "Mariana?" I asked, trying to get confirmation that I heard him correctly.

"W-well," he stuttered, "Not everything about her is like Mariana. It's just the way that Maya is always so positive about everything. She's carefree, like the world around her hasn't gone to shit even though it has. Mari was like that, too."

I could see why Gabe saw a bit of Mariana in Maya's personality. Hell, they even looked a little similar from what I could remember. Of course that's not saying much, considering I last saw Mariana only for a short period of time while she was ten years old. "I see now," I replied, then smiled. "Hey, maybe if we ever run into some ink, we can fix that tattoo of yours so people can actually read it."

A corner of his mouth tugged upwards at the idea. "I'd like that, especially if it'll look like yours. Your tattoo looks bad-ass."

With a small laugh, I held out my hand. "Thanks, but I'm not sure I'd refer to it as 'bad-ass'. It's just a name."

"But it's such a smooth job," he complimented, reaching out to grab my hand so he could get a better look. It made me feel a little nervous, only because of what Louis had told me the other day about Gabe. 'Oh, he totally had googly-eyes. He's got a thing for you'. I was almost certain that Gabe didn't have feelings for me, but the way he grabbed my hand out of nowhere startled me. He's just trying to look at your tattoo, nothing more. It's not a big deal.

I raised an eyebrow at him as he continued to talk. "It's a little faded out, but maybe you can get a touch-up, too. Just gotta find that ink."

"Yeah, maybe there's some ink lying around the school," I added in, trying to push my inner thoughts aside.

Without notice, the door to the shed abruptly opened. Ruby was there, AJ by her side. "We came to see if y'all needed any help, and then we saw all these walkers along the way," Ruby spoke up. "Everything okay?"

AJ looked directly at me, then his gaze moving slightly to the side. "What are you doing?" he asked, causing me to shift my attention to what he was looking at. It was my hand. And Gabe's hand. We were still holding hands. Fuck...

Quickly, I pulled my hand away and looked over to Gabe. "He was just helping me calm down. I got overwhelmed out there with all the walkers," I explained, then looked to AJ. He gave me a puzzled look before nodding. Why was it that Ruby and AJ had walked in on yet another embarrassing moment? I was having the worst luck lately.

Ruby gave me a questioning look before speaking up again. "Gabe, your group is waitin' on you back at the school, I think they wanted to check in with you."

"Right, I'll take the supplies and head back," he responded, hopping off of the table. Gabe turned to me and helped me off the table. Once I was on the ground and standing up, he nodded to me. "See you there, Clem."

He grabbed the bucket of supplies from the corner of the shed before heading outside. I walked over to meet Ruby and AJ by the door. "Are you okay, Clem?" AJ questioned. "Did the walkers get you?"

"No, no, I'm fine," I assured him, kneeling down and opening my arms to him. He embraced me and I smiled as I patted him on the back. I hated that I was making him worried lately. I had to get a handle on this whole leg thing before it got the best of me. "Now come on, let's get back to the school."

AJ

I had a weird feeling about that 'Gabe' guy. I know Clem said she knew him from before and trusted him, but I still didn't exactly know how to feel about him. And earlier when Ruby and I went to the shed, he was holding Clem's hand! I don't know a lot about that kind of stuff, but I know that's something only Louis and Clem do. Gabe shouldn't be doing that, because that's... not good. I just hoped that the new group wouldn't cause problems with our group.

It was still daytime, so everyone was doing their own thing and keeping busy. Clem was helping Ruby with something outside, so I decided to go see what Violet and Louis were up to. I left my room and walked through the hallway when I heard people talking. One of the voices sounded like Gabe, so I wanted to know what this was about. I walked closer to the door where it seemed like the talking was coming from. The voices were talking quietly, but I knew I'd be able to hear them if I just got a little closer. I pressed my ear against the door and listened.

"I know, I know," I heard Gabe say. "It's just that-"

The next person I heard sounded like the older guy, Laine. "No, that's not what we're here for. End of story. We can't sit around getting too comfortable. Our group will be back any day now."

"Doesn't seem like they're coming. It's been days." It sounded like Maya. "But Gabe, Laine is right. What you're talking about, it's not gonna happen."

"You don't know that..."

"I know that she has a boyfriend. You can't be getting feelings like this towards her."

It sounded like they were talking about Clementine. I pressed my ear even more against the door to make sure I didn't miss anything.

"It's not just me! When we were holding hands, she-"

Maya laughed while he was in the middle of talking. "Dude, just stop right there. You can't be doing that. Do you know how pissed her boyfriend would be if he found out?"

"He won't find out. I know what I'm doing."

"You sound delusional."

"Gabe," Laine said. "I don't want to hear about this again. This discussion is over. Now, where's Tyler? We need to talk with him, too."

I heard footsteps towards the door, so I hurried away and went upstairs. Once I was far away enough, I let out a deep breath. So I was right? Gabe did have a crush on Clementine. I could tell by the way he acted around her, and especially when he was holding her hand in the shed. I didn't like it, because I knew I had to protect Clementine no matter what.

Why did Gabe feel that way about Clem even though she was with Louis anyway? It didn't make sense to me. This 'love' stuff was getting on my nerves...

I went into the office and found Violet and Louis there in the middle of a conversation. Violet was sitting in Marlon's old chair while Louis was sitting on the edge of the desk.

"They've been helpful so far, I guess letting them stay wouldn't be that bad. At least for the time being," Violet said, nodding her head at Louis.

"I agree," he said back. "Though, we're going to need a lot more food to make sure everyone can eat. We haven't had this many people in a long time."

"We'll figure it out, don't worry."

I walked more into the room and they both looked over. "What's up, little man?" Louis said to me with a smile.

Violet looked over to me too and said, "Hey, AJ. Everything okay?"

"You're letting them stay?" I asked, stepping forward. I wasn't sure how I felt about that.

"Yeah, they're staying for now," Violet said back. "You okay with that?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know about that 'Gabe' guy," I admitted, then crossed my arms. "I think he likes Clem."

Violet's eyes, or eye, got big and she turned to Louis. He looked surprised, too. "You think?" Violet asked.

Louis kinda laughed and shook his head. "He does, but there's nothing to worry about."

"Wait, let me get this straight. You know this guy likes your girlfriend, but it's okay?" Violet questioned him. "I'd be a little more worried if I were you, Louis."

"I mean, you can't blame the guy for liking Clem," Louis joked. Violet only rolled her eyes and gave him a look that she always gave him. "He can feel however he wants to, it's not like anything would happen. I trust Clementine."

I had the feeling he didn't know anything about what I saw earlier. I wasn't sure if it would be the right to tell him about it, but I ended up blurting it out anyway. "But," I said, "they were holding hands!"

Louis's smile went away quick, and Violet raised her eyebrows. "Still feeling sure of yourself, Louis?" Violet joked with him.

"Wait, what do you mean by holding hands?" he asked me. "Maybe he was helping her stand up, or keep her balance or something?"

I shook my head. "No, they were sitting down next to each other and holding hands."

Louis looked down at the floor with wide eyes while Violet stood up. She patted him on the back before saying, "Don't worry, Lou. I'm sure they'll invite you to the wedding."

"Wedding?" I asked, confused. "What's a wedding?"

"Something that's not going to happen," Louis said, glaring at Violet. "It's probably just a big misunderstanding, right?" he continued, throwing his arms in the air. He laughed, but it sounded like he was nervous. "You know what? I'll just clear this up right now and ask Clem about it."

As he started walking to the door, Violet stopped him. "Louis, take it from another girl: Don't go questioning her about this. She's going to think you don't trust her."

"I do trust her. I just don't trust that guy."

"You interrogating her about it won't make it seem that way."

I rolled my eyes at them and looked to the corner of the room where Rosie was resting on her bed. Walking over to her, I smiled. I liked Rosie. She didn't have weird problems to complain about like teenagers did. I wish I had someone my age, like Tenn. I sighed and pet Rosie to make time go by faster.

Clementine

I stared at the tree in front of me, trying to concentrate. Just focus on the tree, and… be the tree. That's how it works, right? I wasn't too sure if I was doing it correctly, but it was the only yoga pose that I learned when I was in school. It was also the only thing that could think of to help me get better balance. What happened to me earlier couldn't happen again. Me falling down while a walker was attacking me could've gone a lot worse, especially if Gabe hadn't been there to help.

But I couldn't rely on others to help me all the time. If I learned how to keep my balance standing on only one leg at a time, then at the very least, I could manage not to fall down the next time my life was depending on it. I felt stupid standing there in the 'tree' pose, but I made sure to stand on the corner of the little cemetery we had. It was out of sight from everyone who was outside. Or so I thought.

I took my left leg off of the ground and tried to balance on my reliable right leg. Closing your eyes helps, I think. It helps you focus or something. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. Hm, never thought I'd take up meditating. Letting my breath back out, I opened up my eyes and sensed something to the right side of me. I looked over and gasped when I saw Maya standing there.

She was doing the same pose as I was and looked over at me when she noticed my shock. "What are you doing?" I asked, confused on how she got here without me noticing.

"Figured I'd join you," she replied, a relaxed expression on her face. "I could use a break from all the guys out there."

I understood how tiring it could be to hang around boys all the time. Hell, I did it for years. Sometimes it was hard to come across women these days, too. I shrugged and continued to practice my balancing, but the more I continued at it, the more I questioned why I was even trying. "I don't think this is helping," I admitted out loud. I could already feel the sweat starting to build on my forehead. Why was I so tired?

Maya stepped in front of me and examined my face. "You look exhausted," she commented while looking at me up and down.

"Yeah," I replied. "I guess I am."

"Let's just sit down, it's too hot to be doing exercises," Maya responded, and tugged on my arm. We both sat on the ground and leaned back against the tree in the shade.

For once in a long time, things looked so green and alive. The trees, grass, everything. With the occasional rain and constant sunshine, the plant-life around the school started to thrive. It was good for us because berries were starting to grow, and the green made the area look lively, despite all the dead walking around.

Maya let out a sigh as she tilted her head back and closed her eyes, letting out a smile. "So, Gabe tells me that you're okay with letting us stay longer?" she asked me in a calm tone. She seemed relaxed, which was ironic considering how the day started out.

I nodded and said, "You've all been helpful around here. I don't see why not."

She grinned and put a hand on my shoulder. "You're a lifesaver, Clementine. Literally."

"Thanks, I guess," I said, chuckling at her response.

"No, really. It's so refreshing being here. No adults- well, besides Laine. And there's everything you need out there like rabbits and fish. Your group is lucky to have found this place," she explained to me.

I agreed. Even I felt lucky to be here. It was the perfect place to raise AJ and do more than just survive. After thinking about how lucky I was to be at this school, I started thinking: can it be too perfect? Everything was going so well considering we met some new people and they all turned out not to be raiders or bad people. Instead, they're a temporary addition to our community. If everything kept going this smoothly in the future, I was going to start getting suspicious.

In the distance, I saw Louis and Violet emerge from the school building. I saw Louis turning his head from side to side, searching for something, while Violet had a hold of his arm. It looked like she was trying to stop him from doing something. Once his eyes met mine, he waved frantically and started walking towards me. Violet shrugged and sat on the steps of the school. What was going on with them? They were acting strange...

Once Louis made it over to me, he greeted us with a nervous smile. "Clem, can we talk for a minute?" he asked me, and glanced over to Maya.

I looked over at her and saw that she had an awkward look on her face. "Don't worry, I'll let you two have your space," she quickly said, standing up and scurrying away. Did everyone else know what was up besides me?

"O...kay...," I said slowly, patting the spot next to me where Maya had been sitting. "Let's talk."

Louis sat down and turned his body to face me. "So, Clem..." he started in a weird tone of voice.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Yes, Louis?"

"I, uh, I was just wondering..." he trailed off again, seemingly unable to find the right words for what he wanted to say.

"You feeling okay?"

"I'm great!" he chuckled nervously. "I just wanted to know, actually, if there was anything you wanted to tell me."

"Me?" I asked, pointing to myself.

"Yeah, you know. Anything new? It's always good to be on the same page, right?" he asked me, tugging at the collar of his shirt. He'd usually tug at his coat that way, but this heat wave caused everyone to leave their jackets to the side for the time being.

Okay, this is strange, but I guess I'll play along. "Well, if you want to know, I did have some kind of... revelation today," I told him, twiddling my thumbs while I thought back to earlier today with the walker.

"A revelation?"

"Yeah. Gabe actually helped me realize it," I said with a half smile towards him.

"Gabe?" he asked with wide eyes.

I wasn't sure why he was acting so weird. Sure, Louis wasn't the most normal person, but this was different. "Yes... Something happened earlier that made me realize a problem I have."

"A problem?"

"Are you going to keep asking vague questions or are you going to let me finish?" I said, snapping on him. A random wave of annoyance hit me out of nowhere. I instantly felt bad once I saw the look of shock on his face. "Sorry, just, let me finish," I asked of him while brushing hair out of my face. "Please."

"No, I'm sorry. I'm all ears," he told me, plastering a grin on his face. I rolled my eyes at his fake smile and couldn't help but let the corners of my mouth turn upwards.

I decided to just get to the point. "Long story short, a walker got a hold of my new 'leg' and I froze up. Gabe had to help me to the fishing shed since I couldn't move," I revealed to Louis. "He told me I was probably traumatized since I had to cut off my leg not that long ago. And this was my first time killing walkers in a while."

Louis immediately grabbed my hand. "Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, right?" His eyes looked me over for any type of injury I might've had.

"I'm okay, Louis. I was just a little shaken up," I admitted. "I asked Gabe to help me calm down before we headed back."

"I should've been there," he said, coming closer and pulling me in for a hug.

I smiled and closed my eyes as I embraced him back. "It's not your fault, Louis. I had to get back out there eventually."

I could feel him nod his head. "But you know I'm here for you, right?"

"I know," I said warmly, pulling away and looking at my boyfriend. Gazing at his amber eyes and freckles was something I could never get tired of doing. All of the intricate details of his face was so captivating to me. I noticed that he was staring at my face too and I smiled at him. "What're you looking at?"

He tilted his head and squinted his eyes while his eyes scanned what was in front of him. "I think you've got something on your shirt."

I raised an eyebrow at his attempt at a joke. "I'm not falling for that one."

"Aw man!" he whined playfully. "It worked the first five times I tried it."

"And now I've learned my lesson."

"I'll catch you slipping up one day, Clem."

"I never slip up."

He looked down at my leg. "Yeah, about that..."

I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved him to the side. "Don't you have things you need to be doing right now?"

"Oh, come on! I just got here. I haven't talked to you all day," he whined, reaching a hand out and caressing the side of my face. "Getting tired of me already?"

I smiled and placed my hand on top of his. "I think I can handle another month or two of you."

"Eh, I'll take what I can get," he shrugged, then leaned in to kiss me. I happily kissed him back and basked in the moment.

A sudden wave of sleepiness hit me out of nowhere. The combination of the sun, the comforting feeling of Louis and I being so close, and the stress from earlier was enough to make me want to drift off. I thought I was doing a good job of keeping myself awake until I opened my eyes to Louis waving a hand in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to Clementine," he said in a sing-song tone.

I rubbed my eyes to try and wake myself up. "Sorry, I guess it's just been a long day for me."

"For a second there I thought you might have died on me," he laughed. I raised an eyebrow at him while he continued smiling. "What? They don't call me lady-killer for nothing," he said with a wink.

"No one calls you that," I said with an eye-roll. "Can you help me up? I should probably go check on AJ."

"Of course, I think he went to your room."

I walked up the steps of the school and entered through the front door. I thought of AJ and what he might be up to when I'm not around. He was growing up so fast right before my eyes. I always tried to teach him everything I know, but now he was starting to figure things out for himself. The only thing I could do now was try to guide him in the right path when he needed it. Lately, he hadn't been needing my help. I needed his.

Just like Louis said, AJ was in our room. He was sitting on the edge of his bed with disco broccoli by his side and a paper in his hands. He was staring at it intently, his eyes going back and forth as if he was reading a paragraph. I walked in and smiled at the little boy before me. He always looked so cute when he was trying to focus. "Hey, goofball. Whatcha up to?" I inquired, walking closer to him. "Practicing your reading?"

"I hope not," he answered, which threw me off. What did he mean by that?

I scratched the top of my head in confusion. "Why do you say that?"

"Because," he continued, hopping off of the bed and moving towards me. "If I'm reading this right, we might be in trouble."

He handed me the sheet of paper and I grabbed it from his hands slowly, unsure of what to think. It had handwriting on it, and only one word written across the page. As I read it, my mind came to a realization on why this word was so familiar. Could this mean...

"AJ, where did you find this?"

"In the new people's room."

I was getting ready to reprimand him for taking things from people, but then he spoke up again. "It was just sitting there on the floor! I wanted to read it," he explained.

His reason didn't excuse the fact that he stole out of someone's room, but this was potentially more important than that. If this was what I thought it was, then... fuck. I wasn't sure what to say. Hell, I wasn't even sure what to think.

"Clem?" AJ asked, probably noticing my silence. "What do you think we should do?"

Right. What should we do? Before I could answer him, I heard a light shuffling noise come from behind me. I turned around to fine Laine standing in the doorway. He eyed what I was holding in my hand.

"So, you found my note."

Next chapter will be longer, I promise! Stay tuned!
