{it's me you should be seeing.}

Quinn.
The more we walk the more my legs burn, we've been walking for around five hours, Searching buildings for supplies as we do.
As we make our way through the old broken down house we here faint cries coming out of a room upstairs, me and Ellie both shared a glance of curiosity, then slowly made our way up the stairs.
Once we opened the door we saw a girl around our age, she had dark hair that went just below her shoulders, bright green eyes and pink plump lips, She was actually pretty small, almost looked helpless just laying there in a ball.
"Please don't hurt me, I didn't do anything wrong!"The girl sobs as I make my was towards her, I kneel down beside her and being my hand up to her shoulder.
"I won't hurt you, are you okay?" I ask, Ellie give me a, are you fucking stupid? look, I brush it off and help the girl to her feet,
"Can you take me with you guys? I just need to find a place to camp for the night then i'll be gone."
The girl asks us, I look at Ellie and she just sighs, nodding her head,
"What's your name?" Ellie asks her as we make our way out of the building, "Kennedy," The girl speaks up.
I notice how she stays close to Ellie our entire walk to find a place to sleep for the night, She's always asking her questions and trying to talk to her no matter what.
I wanna kill her for that.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ellie bust the windows out of an old bank, me and Ellie hoping through first, As I turn around to look at Kennedy I hear her speak up.
"I don't think I can get inside, Ellie can you help me, please?" She asks, I watch as Ellie reaches her hand out to help the girl up, I scruff and turn around as she does so.
After a few hours of absolute immortal hell Kennedy fell asleep, leaving me and Ellie wide awake, you could feel the tension in the room.
Ellie stands up and tells me to follow her, we walk into the entrance of the bank and then she stops, turning to face me with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Why are you so mad at me?" Ellie asks,
"Im not mad at you, I just don't have a good felling about that girl," I lie, knowing i'm just as mad at her as I am with the stranger in the other room.
"Jesus Quinn, just trust her, stop judging so much." She scruffs and turns around, walking away.
~~~~~~~~~~
I stayed in the main entrance for about two hours, slightly falling asleep before herring a god awful scream.
I run into the room with Kennedy and Ellie inside of it, Kennedy on top of Ellie attacking her, completely infected.
I grab the infected by it's neck, brining her up to me before stabbing her in the neck multiple times, making sure it felt personal.
I threw the body away from me, helping Ellie stand up before looking over her, "She bit you." I say, concern trailing in my voice, I know shes immune and the last two times she's been bitten she didn't turn, but this time still worries me.
I guess she could feel the nervousness seeping out of my body, "Quinn, it's okay." She reassures me, taking me in hand and leading me out of the room, where we grab our backpacks and head out, continuing our way back to Jackson.
~~~~~~~~~~
two weeks later.
Ellie.
A few things have happened over the past few weeks, we ended up finding Tommy the first week, my bite healed just as I said it would, and I opened up to Tommy about me and Quinn.
It's safe to say he definitely approved.
Me and Quinn have somehow grown closer, I never wanna be away from her, She constantly near me or in my arms.
But I know eventually that'll end, it's bound to and that's the scary part, everyone says to put your guard down, but me personally i'd rather die.
I've trusted and loved Quinn for years, but i'm still afraid of getting hurt.
Those thoughts pile in my mind just like the thoughts of abby do, the image of Joel is stuck in my mind on repeat every hour, and every minute of everyday.
I'm hoping when we all get back to Jackson everything will be fine again, maybe i'll be able to go on with my life even knowing I never truly got revenge on abby, but part of me knows it's gonna eat me alive forever.
Tommy's asked me a few times why I gave up, My answer has been for Quinn every time,
I feel guilty though, knowing I promised Tommy I'd make her pay, but I don't think he'd ever hold it against me.
