-5 YEARS LATER-
-ELLIE'S POV-

I woke up to someone knocking at my door I got up and remembered I got scheduled in patrol so I quickly realised that maybe Jesse's the one who's knocking so I quickly opened it

-"Mornin" He said smiling
-" Sorry I totally overslept....lemme grab my things and get dressed" I said
-" I heard you had quite the night after I left" He said

I got shocked as I knew he was talking about me and Dina's kiss

-" Ok.....she....kissed me it's just Dina being Dina she doesn't mean anything by it" I answered quickly
-" Wait I was talking about your fight with Seth.....You kissed Dina" He said confused

I was shocked to hear it from him I totally thought it was about the kiss but I'm wrong now he knows I got nervous to what he'll say considering the fact that they've broken up one week

-" Oh...I thought this was------" he cut me off
-" We've broken up one week then make a move on my girl" He said
-" No......she's probably just trying to make you jealous I would never------" He cut me off again
-" I'm messing with you man....I don't care go get dressed" He said smirking
-" You're the worst" I said as I close the door but he stopped it
-" Still it's kinda fucked up you did that" He said sarcasticly
-" Ughh" I said and pushed the door close

I quickly got dressed and gathered up my things and went outside on which Jesse is waiting

-" Heads up your the talk of the town this morning" He said
-" Ughh what?" I said
-" So let me get this right......you kissed Dina" He said
-" She kissed me " I said letting out a sigh
-" Which teiggered Seth to call you a not-so-nice word" He added
-" yeah" I replied
-" Then Joel decked him" He said
-" More like a push" I said
-" Then you got mad at Joel that part confused me" He said
-" It was a strange night man" I said
-" Sounds exciting....sorry I missed it......you two ok now??" He asked
-" Yeah we talked about it last night" I answered
-" Before I forgot Maria wants to talk to you" he said
-" Is this about Seth" I asked
-" No clue" He replied
-" Just tell her you never saw me" I said
-" Excuse me" He pleaded
-" Ughh...Where's your fucking loyalty" I said
-" Hey" He said
-" Hey......Uhmmm....we're cool right" I asked
-" You and me ofcourse Dina and I are done" he answered
-" Good I just didn't want you to think-----" He cut me off again
-" Ellie we're cool I promised" He said

We went to the Diner where Maria was when we came there we saw maria eating soup

-" Ellie c'mere.........Seth wants to talk to you" She said
-" I don't wanna hear what that bigot has to say" I said
-" Do it for me please" She said
-" Fine" I answered

Maria called Seth whose working in the kitchen back at the Diner

-" Hey" he said
-" Hey" I replied
-" Last night I was drinking too much" He stated
-" Sure" I answered
-" I'm trying to say I'm sorry..........I heard you and Dina are heading out so I uhmm made you this sandwiches they're steak" He said
-" Ok" I said

Maria took the sandwiches and gave it to me He thanked Seth and walked me and Jesse outside the Diner I also gave Jesse the sandwiches cause I don't plan on eating them

-"So Joel and Tommy needs to rest so I want you Jesse to take their post" Maria ordered
-" Sure I was gonna check out the creek trails I'll have someone else to cover it" He said
-" Ellie....Do you know the creek trails?" Maria asked
-"Not really" I said
-" Dina's done it a bunch I'll have the two of them take it" Jesse said
-" That solves that" Maria said

We we're walking out through the gates where the stables are and I can't help to look around Jackson It's been 25 years since the outbreak started in 2013 and I wasn't even born that year yet I was born in the year of 2018 and now I'm 19 and still alive since Joel saved me to the fireflies I got mad at Joel really but at the most part I understood why he did that he doesn't want me to be killed cause he's treating me like her daughter last thing I knew it we are beside the gate I went out to meet Jesse whose looking at Dina
