Wendy's head rested on Ellie's shoulder as she slept. Ellie stared up at the trees around her never being in a place quit like this. The sun just pulling over the dark sky. Ellie reached and fixed Joel's jacket that laid over the two girls laps. Flinching as the girl next to her moved. Wendy's head picked up off of Ellie's shoulder as she woke. Her eyes heavy from sleep. "Sorry." Wendy's morning voice rang. Ellie's heart stopped beating for a moment. Every thought that was in Ellie's mind was gone.
"No i liked it." Ellie smiled. Wendy looked a bit confused. "I mean it was good- I'm mean okay. I didn't mind!" Wendy started laughing at the tressed Burnett. Wendy's gentle hand brushed a piece of Ellie's hair behind her ear."Where's my dad?" Wendy asked realizing he wasn't there. "He went to the stream." Ellie looked up at the sky. "I'm going to find him." Ellie watching Wendy walk away and out of view. Ellie shoved her hands in her face.
"Your so fucking stupid! You dumb ass!" Ellie screamed into her hands. "You completely scared her away." Exhaling Ellie was embarrassed over her actions with Wendy. Feeling incredibly stupid over them. It was Wendy's stupid fucking attractive morning voice. Ellie found it quit unfair that wendy was so beautiful. She found it unfair because the time wasted from looking at her can last a lifetime. But yet again was it a waste of time if there's nothing else to do.

Wendy bumped into her dad on the walk over to the stream. "Good morning to you." Her dad said ruffling up her already messy hair. Wendy gave him a mad look before following him back the way she came from. "Do you have any extra t shirts my tank top is stained." Wendy's white shirt was stained heavily with blood and dirt from her passed day. "Not one for you." Her dad said walking next to her. Wendy stopped frowning as she looked at her dad.
"I'm cold! plus I'll give it back when me make it to Bill and Frank's tonight I have thousands of t shirt's there to pack into my bag then." Wendy smiled a sweet smile. "Fine." Her dad gave in. "Yes!" Wendy jumped in the air like it wasn't as if she was asleep only 10 minutes prior.

Joel and Wendy made it back to camp. Ellie completely confused how Wendy could have this much energy. Joel angerly walked to his backpack pulling it to him opening it before couching down rummaging around for a tee shirt. Wendy extended her arms closing her hands and opening motions, or grabby hands. "You you want your jacket back?" Ellie asked. Her knees were bent so she could cover herself with the jacket the best she could. Shaking his head Joel pulled out a graphic t shirt. One of Tess's  old ones. Wendy snatched it from him. "Thanks dad!" Wendy yelled ran to where Ellie was sitting. "Hold this please." Wendy asked handing Ellie the shirt Before facing the river Pulling her gross tank top off. Turning back to face Ellie she stuffed the tank top into her bag. Wendy opened her hand to Ellie. Ellie handed her the shirt. Wendy turned back around to face the river. Ellie looked up at Wendy, her heart skipping a beat seeing long scars along her back. And it looks like a word carved under her left shoulder blade.
Ellie was forced out of her daze by a wrapped ration hitting her cheek. Ellie looked up at Joel. He shook his head at her. Then looking about trying to find where the food landed.
