I sat down on the couch contemplating whether or not I should ask Ellie to help me or Abby, to help me decide I've started to list the pros and cons of asking Ellie and Abby, Pros of asking Ellie 1. I like her.
That's about it but the cons are:
1. Ellie would see me naked
2. She might not like me back
3. She might think my body is ugly
4. She might think I look disgusting
If you ask me it looks like the cons outweigh the pros but when I thought of the pros and cons to Abby I wasn't as scared as I would be with Ellie
Pros:
1. Probably wouldn't be so mean to me since she is built like a bodybuilder
2. If she did make fun of me it wouldn't feel like rejection
3. She can't really hurt my feelings in the first place
Cons:
1. She could laugh at me when she sees me naked 

Well considering the odds I'd rather take asking Abby than Ellie right now, I looked around the room and noticed that Ellie had left. I walked over to the bathroom and even though it hurt a lot, I kneeled, turned the rod on the tub, and began running the water. After a few minutes of feeling the water and adjusting it to the temperature, I felt comfortable. I stood up using the tub as support and walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the couch again, I sighed and let my head hit the couch and roll to the side.

After a couple of minutes of sitting on the couch, Abby walked into the room. She waved at me as she walked into the open area we called the kitchen. She opened the fridge and started to rummage through it. When she closed it back she had an apple in her hand and sat down on the couch next to me.

"So what did the medic say about you getting out anytime soon"

I chuckled a little before answering.

"I'm not gonna be going on any missions for at least 6 to 8 weeks"

Abby sighed as she bit off a piece of the apple.

"Well I guess you should take some time to rest" 

I shook my head.

"Nope I'm gonna try and help with something here no way am I just gonna sit around here and do nothing"

"And who do you think is gonna allow you to help them when one of your arms is broken?"

I sighed she had a point not like I could help with moving anything since I would need two hands for that along with cooking and just about everything else.

"Ugh, what's that smell?" Abby's face scrunched up as she looked in my direction.

That's when I remembered what I wanted to ask her in the first place.

"So yea about that the doctor said I couldn't get my cast wet could you help me just like get my back in the tub?"

When I asked Abby the question Ellie walked into the room.

"Hey what are you guys talking about?"

Ellie walked over to the counter and pulled out some Alcohol and bandages while she was doing that I looked over at Abby and began to silently beg her not to say anything to Ellie. Abby chuckled as she began to speak.

"Oh nothing Y/N was just asking me to wash her back since she wouldn't be able to in the tub" I facepalmed I wanna fight Abby right here right now.

Ellie put the bandages and Alcohol into a bag and turned around to face me and Abby on the couch.

"Oh I can help you Y/N Abby has something to do with John anyway," She said handing the bag to Abby.

I looked over at Abby, she smiled and snickered as she took the bag from Ellie. I glared at her as she stood up and walked over to the table in the middle of the room grabbing her gun and bag. I stood up and walked over to the door, when Abby got to the door I grabbed her arm and looked at her with a disgusted face. She laughed before leaning down into my ear.
