3rd Person POV:

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" The Alarm clock would've keep ringing that dreaded high pitched death sound if a hand didn't come out from under a heavy set blanket to hit the alarm.

Waking up with a yawn Joel stretched his old and weathered body with a pained groan he looked at the clock to see it was close to 7:00 A.M, "Damn I'm to old to be getting up this early."

Pulling the sheets off his body he steps out of bed and walking over to his dresser grabs a pair of boxers, jeans, a T-Shirt, and a pair of fuzzy slippers that Ellie found on a patrol.

Entering his bathroom he put his clothes on the counter and turned on the shower. One of the things Joel was immensely grateful for in Jackson was the fact that it had unlimited hot water.

Waiting for the water to heat up he grabbed a towel from the cabinet and began stripping, remembering to put his clothes in the hamper else Ellie will rip him a new one.

Seeing the steam from the shower he quickly got in and grabbed a bar of soap a neighbor gave them and quickly went to washing himself.

After a relaxing 15 minute shower he got out and dried off and putting on his clothes. Grabbing a toothbrush before looking at some jackson made toothpaste, "Still don't know how they were able to make toothpaste."

After finishing his morning hygiene routine he made his way to Ellie's room.

Knock Knock Knock

"Ellie, it's nearly 7:30 it's time to wake up, you got wall duty today with that friend of yours." Joel said before waiting for the reply when he heard nothing he knocked again harder when he heard her ruffling in her bed. Knowing she would be awake soon he made for the kitchen to begin making breakfast for them both.

After 15 minutes a freshly showered Ellie entered the kitchen and sat at the table. Smelling the sweet smell of bacon and eggs Ellie began salivating.

"I see your hungry baby girl." Joel said while shoveling eggs onto her plate. Grabbing a mug from the cabinet he began pouring a black liquid known as coffee into the cup, "Where the hell did you get coffee from Joel that shit is impossible to find," looking at her from behind the mug Joel finished his sip before smirking, "I got it from that boyfriend of yours."

Almost immediately Ellie blushed a scarlet red and replied with a timid," He's not my boyfriend Joel, he's just a friend." Joel nodded before saying, "I've seen the way you've been looking at him, only a friend my ass."

Rolling her eyes Ellie finished her food and got up to put her plate in the sink.

"I'm going to my patrol, I'll see you later Joel." Ellie walked to the front door to see Joel with her bag, rifle, and pistol. "Thanks."

Walking towards where she was supposed to report in she waves to all the townspeople she passes by, "Hey Ellie wait up." Turning to respond she saw her first friend in Jackson run up to her. "Hey Michael, you ready for our shift," Nodding his head he pats his pistol and smirks at her, "born ready Ellie."

Seeing his smile set off something in her that she couldn't explain. It made her feel loved and happy. According to Maria she was feeling what was called a crush on her, but she was afraid he was gonna reject her.

"Hey Ellie you coming or what?" Looking up she saw that she had fallen behind him awhile, giving herself a smile she ran up to catch up with him.
