Y/N Pov.

We had just found out what happened to Molly and it's safe to say that I was a bit shook, but it doesn't change how I feel about her. Even though she told me back at the garage about what she had to do to get medicine for her sister she didn't go into detail and now I see why.

Lee: Let's get going

Y/n: Right behind ya.

We left the nurses office and as we entered the hallway Molly jumped down from the hole in the roof.

Lee: Jesus Christ. You scared the shit out of me. Where the fuck have you been?

Molly: Sightseeing.

Lee: I'll take that battery now.

Molly: Oh...yeah, about that. (notices Lee's shocked face) I'm just kidding.

Y/n: Ha, she got you.

Molly high fives Y/n then takes the battery out of her backpack and hands it to Lee.

Molly: Here ya go.

Lee notices Molly holding a photo in her hand.

Lee: What's that?

Molly: Nothing.

Y/n: Looks like a photo, can I see?

Lee: You can quit with the act, Molly. I know you're from Crawford.

Molly: What? Who told you that?

Molly then looks at me.

Molly: Did you?

Molly looked hurt.

Y/n: No, I didn't I promise.

Molly smiled

Molly: Okay, I believe you but how-

Lee: I saw you on a security tape. Why'd you lie to me?

Molly: I said there were stories about Crawford, I never said that's how I knew about it. I never lied to you. And even if I did, so what? I don't owe you anything.

Lee: You saved my life twice, but you can't tell me the truth?

Molly: Are we really gonna do this now?

Lee: I guess that's up to you.

Molly: I used to live here with my sister. She was fourteen years old. When the dead started walking and Crawford shut itself in, it seemed like a pretty good deal at first. We were safe, we had everything we needed to survive. Then the rules started coming down. No one who couldn't justify their place, earn their keep. No one who required special care. My sister was diabetic, and by Crawford's rules, that made her a liability. I kept it a secret. Kept her safe for as long as I could. But in the end, I couldn't protect her. That's when I got out. Crawford, they always talked about how their system worked, how anything was better than becoming "one of them". But I saw what they'd already become. I just wished I could have seen it before it was too late. Before they came and took my sister away. (wipes away tear) This is all that I have left of her. (shows photo of her sister) I didn't have time to take it before I got out of Crawford. I just wanted it, okay?

Lee: It's okay, Molly. I understand. She's pretty.

Molly gave a look towards Lee that seemed like she appreciated the sympathy.

Before we started walking I hugged Molly again but this time she seemed to hold a tighter grip on me, which I didn't mind.

Y/n: I understand why you didn't go into detail about the "Favors" you were talking about, just know I'll never look at you any different.

Molly: Thank you...little brother.

We both smiled and begin to walk but it didn't take long before something else unfortunately happened...the bell started to toll.

Molly: What the hell...?

Lee: I think that's our cue to get the hell out of here.

As Lee, Y/n, and Molly are about to turn the corner, Ben jumps out with the hatchet.

Ben: Aaagh!

Molly: Jesus!

Lee: Shit! Ben!

Y/n: Sweet Christmas, dude!

Ben: Sorry, sorry! I just got spooked by those bells. And then I heard someone coming...

I noticed the hatchet in his hand that looked pretty familiar.

Lee: Did you leave Clementine alone?

Ben: No, Kenny's with her. We still can't open that armory door. He sent me out to look for something we can use to bust it open.

Ben: I found this. (shows hatchet)

Y/n: Uh, Ben...where did you get that?

Ben: I just found it, it was stuck in the door handle at the end of the hallway back there.

Lee: Oh, no... Shit!

Walkers bust through the doors. Lee draws his gun, I pulled out my knife and take down a couple while Molly kills several walkers with her pick. One of them grabs onto her arm, and she punches it, trying to get free.

Molly: Lee! Shoot this fucker!

Lee shot at the walker but missed due to the walker moving around so much and he was also trying to not hit Molly.

I saw what was happening and I tried to get to Molly but when I took the walker I was fighting down, another took its place.

But finally I cleared the last walker that was coming towards me and I was about to help Molly when all of a sudden

*BANG*

The walker is shot in the head.

Molly: Thanks.

Lee: It wasn't me...

Y/n: Me neither

I then look over and saw Clem holding my gun.

Molly: Good going, kid. Nice shot.

Clementine: Thanks...

I quickly ran to Clem and gave her a quick hug.

Y/n: I knew you could do it, good job Clem!

She blushed but we had to leave because more walkers began to fill in.

We ran to the classroom and Brie holds the doors closed.

Kenny: What the fuck is going on?

Lee: They're coming!

Kenny: Oh, shit.

Vernon: That oughta hold 'em.

Brie: Sure...but now how do we get out?

Kenny continually tries to knock the door down by slamming his shoulder into it.

Kenny: Through the armory, if we can just get this damn door open.

Ben offers Lee the hatchet, and he angrily grabs it.

Kenny: Come on...damn you!

Clem got scared so I held her close and she put her face in my chest. Molly stood beside me and rested her arm on my head.

Ben: This is my fault...all my fault.

Christa: What the hell's he babbling about?

Lee: Ben, we talked about this.

Christa: No, wait, I want to know what he meant. What do you mean, this is all your fault?

Ben: Kenny, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, man...

Kenny: Kid, this ain't the best time! Whatever you did, save it for later!

Ben: (quietly) I opened the door, I let them in...

Kenny: I said save it for after we get outta here!

Y/n: Why not.

They all looked at me.

Y/n: Tell Kenny what you did.

Ben looked hesitant for a second.

Y/n: I said tell him!

Ben: It's been me all along. Putting all of us in danger. Katjaa and Duck... It was all me. It was all me!

Kenny kicks the door open.

Kenny: Wait a minute...what are you saying?

Ben: It was me who made the deal with the bandits at the motor inn, slipping them supplies. I thought maybe I could keep them off our backs. When it got discovered, that's when they attacked. That's when Duck...

Kenny lunges at Ben, and Vernon and Lee hold him back.

Lee: Kenny, man. I agree with you--you SHOULD kick his ass! But now's not the time! We gotta focus on getting out of here!

Kenny: You little pissant! You are fucking dead, you hear me? Dead! My wife and child, you got them both fucking killed!

Lee: Kenny! Listen to me! You can whoop his skinny little ass later, but right now we gotta go!

Kenny stopped struggling to attack Ben.

Molly: Nice group you got here.

Y/n: Uh Molly, not exactly the right time.

Kenny: If this asshole thinks he's getting on my boat after what he did, he's out of his motherfucking mind! (shoves Ben) You hear me, shitbird? You can stay behind and fucking rot!

Lee: Kenny, I know you're upset, I understand, but you don't get to make a decision like that on your own. We're all in this together. We're a group.

Kenny: Sure! Take a vote! This is America, fuck it! But before you all decide, there's something you oughta know.

Kenny: The boat's not big enough for all of us. Somebody's gotta get left behind, might as well be this piece of shit right here!

Christa: Well, I vote we leave him. I'm sorry, Ben. I know you mean well, but all I want to do is get back to Omid. And you put that at risk.

Clem: Wait, don't we get a vote?

Lee: Of course you do.

Clementine: Ben's nice. He's my friend. We don't leave friends behind. That's my vote.

Christa: On second thought, I think I'm gonna abstain. Lee?

Lee: I've seen enough of Crawford to know that becoming like them is the beginning of the end. I vote Ben stays with us.

Carley: I agree, Ben may have messed up but he had good intentions. I vote he stays.

They all look at me now waiting for my vote but they've all seen how I've been towards Ben. So before I voted I started to think about what dad would say in this situation.

-Flashback to 7 year old Y/n-

Dad had just picked me up from school because I had gotten into a fight with another boy but he deserved it.

As we were driving my dad started to talk.

Dad: Why did you fight him?

He didn't seem upset but curious.

Y/n: He kept bad mouthing my friend and I wasn't gonna let it slide.

Dad just stared at the road for a couple more minutes before speaking again.

Dad: Standing up for a friend is a good reason but you should only resort to violence as a last result.

Y/n: But he was being so mean, I'm not going to forgive him for what he did.

Dad: Kiddo, when I was your age I went through the same thing but I'm gonna tell you the exact same thing my dad told me.

Y/n: What's that?

Dad: My Mercy prevails over my wrath.

Y/n: What?

Dad: It means you don't have to forgive the boy but you don't have to hurt him either, so stand up for your friend with only using violence as a last resort.

I thought about it for a moment but I think I understand.

Y/n: Okay...

Dad: Good, but I will say I'm proud you won.

We both had a laugh and went home.

-Flashback End-

Y/n: My mercy prevails over my wrath...

They heard what I said.

Y/n: Although what Ben did was unforgivable he didn't mean to screw us, so against my better judgement I vote he stays.

They all looked shocked to hear me say that but I can understand why, I mean I did threaten to Kill Ben earlier.

Clem: Thank you, Y/n.

Y/n: No problem Clementine.

Brie: What about the rest of us, don't we get a say in--

Brie screams as a walker breaks through the door and grabs her. Walkers grab onto her and bite her, then rip out her guts with their teeth.

Vernon: Brie!

Molly: NOW can we go?

Lee: Damn right. Vernon! Come on!

The group runs through the armory door. Lee tries to slam it closed but it doesn't stay that way.

Carley: So much for the armory.

Kenny: What's left of it.

Christa: A few rounds, that's it.

Lee holds the door closed.

Kenny: You didn't close that door behind us?

Lee: I couldn't, the lock was busted!

Kenny: Great, just fucking great...come on, there's gotta be a way out down here!

The group walks down the stairs and opens the door, finding a bunch of walkers that instantly head toward them. Lee hurriedly closes the door.

Kenny: FUUUUUCK!

Y/n: That's not gonna hold. Back upstairs!

Kenny takes a rifle from a nearby corpse as the others run upstairs.

Kenny: Lee, look!

Kenny tosses Lee the rifle and joins the group. Lee fires at the walkers as they walk through the door. Lee backs up the stairs and continues to shoot the walkers. His foot breaks through one of the steps. Lee alternates between shooting the walkers and pulling his leg. Eventually he gets free and tries to keep walking up the stairs, but finds there are walkers there too. Christa and Y/n kill some of them. Lee takes out the hatchet and kills walkers as he continues up the stairs. His hatchet gets stuck in the back of one of the walker's heads; he pushes it over the edge, but it grabs onto his gun. Lee shoots it or it loses its grip, and it falls. He reaches the top of the stairs, where the rest of the group is. Vernon looks out the window.

Kenny: Come on!

Y/n: Dude, we got major league lucky.

Clementine and Y/n hug Lee.

Lee: It's alright, you two. I'm fine.

Lee: Any way out of here?

Christa: This leads to the roof, we might be able to find a way down from there.

Vernon: You didn't come into town from the railroad, did you?

Kenny: Yeah, why?

Vernon: Never mind. I can see the sewer where we came in from here. I think we can do this.

Kenny: Well, what are we waiting for? Go! Go!

Everyone except Lee, Y/n, and Kenny climbs out the window.

Lee: Ben, come on, let's go!

The bell starts tolling. As it moves back and forth, the walker hanging from the bell swings toward Ben and grabs him.

Y/n: Uh oh!

Lee shoots the walker; the rope around its neck snaps and it falls taking Ben with it, but he manages to grab onto the edge. His hand slips, but Lee and Y/n grab on to his arms.

Lee: Hold on, Ben! I've got you! Ben, climb up! Come on, you can do it!

Ben: There's no time! You have to go, now!

Lee: Quit fucking around, Ben! Come on!

Ben: Let go, damn it!

Y/n: No, this is no place to die!

Ben: Get Clem and the others out of here!

Kenny: Lee, Y/n.

Kenny looked at us both.

Kenny: I'll see you both when you're done.

Kenny looks at Lee and I, implying what he should do, then leaves.

Ben: Lee, Y/n. We both know.

Ben lets go, but we continue to hold on to his arm.

Ben: Let me go.

Walkers get closer to the top of the stairs.

Y/n: No. Lee on three let's pull him up.

Lee nods.

Y/n: 1..2...3, PULL!

We both pulled and we successfully pulled him up in time though it was a bit hard considering I was only holding onto his wrist since the rest of his arm had started to slide down but we successfully pulled it off.

Ben: Why?

Lee: Go, go, go!

We all left the tower, with me going first then Ben, and finally Lee.

A/n: I plan on finishing season 1 today so yeah, thanks for reading.
