I woke up, with Ellie still close.
'Thank god it wasn't just a dream'
I felt Ellie start to twitch and mumble. I grabbed her tight and she woke up saying my name, and panicking.
"Ellie. Ellie, don't worry i'm right here." I put my hands on her face.
"Oh, Logan." She started crying into my tank top.
"What's wrong El?"
"I just, I always had this dream where you, you uhm." She was struggling to speak.
"Ellie, it's okay. Breathe." I sat up and so did she.
"I keep having this dream, where Joel tells me that you uhm... you didn't make it."
"Okay, but im here now. I'm not dead, i'm not hurt, okay Ellie? I'm happy."
She kept crying into my tank top.
"It's okay." I stroked her hair as she calmed down.

ELLIE'S POV

He comforted me, but how do I tell him about Dina?

LOGAN'S POV

After Ellie was okay and calm, I got up.
"So, you guys got showers?"
She giggled.
"Yeah, do you want to shower?"
"Yes please." I took off my tank top, revealing my body and all the scars.
Ellie's face got red.
"You okay?" I asked
"You're just... i've never seen you shirtless before." She kept staring.
I laughed softly.
She kept staring in silence.
"So, are you going to teach me how to use the shower?"
"Oh right, yeah." She got up quickly and walked to her bathroom, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear in embarrassment.
"Okay so, you turn this knob for hot water and this one for cold water"
She pointed to these containers on the corner.
"That's the soap and shampoo. It's your first shower in a while so take all the time you want."
"Thanks, El"
"Your welcome, if you need anything tell me. Oh and also, that's the towel" She pointed to this large piece of rough fabric.
"Alright."
She left and closed the door, as I got ready to shower.

I took about an hour or so in the shower, really cleaning myself as well as I could.

I left the room with the towel around my waist.

"Hey have you seen my bag?"
Ellie's face got red again.
"Yeah- its um- its right over there." She pointed to the couch.
"Thanks."
I grabbed some clothes Joel let me borrow, and changed in the bathroom.

When i got out again, Ellie laughed.
"What?" I looked at her slightly confused.
"Nothing you just look like Joel"
"Oh yea he let me borrow some clothes"
I grabbed my old butterfly knife.
"Oh shit, you still have that?" She smiled at me.
"Yeah, it's what kept me going."
"A knife kept you going?"
"No, thinking of the person who gave it to me is what kept me going" I smiled at her and went into the bathroom as she followed me.
I started to use the blade to shave my face.
"You know we have things called razors for that?" She giggled.
"Well, I got used to my trusty blade so." I smiled as I kept shaving.

--Time Skip--

"You want me to meet your friends Jesse and Dina?"
"Yeah, we're having our monthly party tonight and I wanted to see if you wanted to go."
I started to tease her.
"Oh my god, Ellie Williams, are you asking me to the dance?"
"Oh fuck you."
I missed hearing that.
We stared at each other for a minute.
"Yeah I'll meet your friends." A smile grew on her face.
"But uhm.." Her smile slowly faded.
"Yeah?"
"Dina... she's um... i like her, and she likes me."
"Oh... that's- i'm happy for you" I buried the heartbreak with an fake smile.
"Thanks."

It's been a few hours and all i had to wear to the dance were Joel's clothes but as long as Ellie was okay with it, i didn't mind. The party was in an hour or so.

"So where exactly is this party?"
Ellie giggled.
"It's in the dining hall. I'm assuming Joel showed you where it was?"
"Uhhh, i've been outside, not inside."
"Well, we go inside and there's drinks and people dance to music. It's just a place to have a good time."
"Alright well, I'll try to have fun" I smirked
"Okay"
There was a silence, but I broke it.
"Can i use your guitar?" I asked Ellie.
"Only if you play me something."
"Alright." I grabbed her guitar and started playing.

"Talking away, I don't know what I'm to say, I'll say it anyway, today's another day to find you, shying away, I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me,
Take me on,
I'll be gone,
In a day or two,
So needless to say,
I'm odds and ends,
I'll be stumbling away,
Slowly learning that life is okay,
Say after me,
It's no better to be safe than sorry,
Take on me,
Take me on."

"That sound okay?" I couldn't make eye contact cause I was nervous. I put the guitar down.

"Yeah, better thank okay."
I chuckled softly, but my mind brought me back to her and this girl, Dina.

Ellie got up and put on her sneakers.
