Earlier that day.

I originally had no plans today, but once I found out Izzy was going to the bonfire, i so happened to be going as well. I mean everyones going, she doesn't need too know I'm going just for her, right?

Me and Izzy haven't spoken in a couple of days, I've moved back into my converted shed out back from Joel's house. Not that I wanted too, and oh man If there was anywhere else I could live that was far away from Joel I'd go there, but no. My own mistakes caught up too me and now I'm suffering the consequences of my own actions I guess.

Izzy and me were good but my own issues just had to get in the fucking way.

"Hey kiddo, I brought you some food." Fuck, I just came out the bathroom and now I have to deal with him.

"Thanks, but I'm going out later." I reply with a straight face, I wasn't in the mood too talk, especially to Joel.

He huffs. "C'mon, you're too skinny. Eat, please." He pushes the plate more towards the end of my coffee table.

"What are you really doing here Joel?" I shake my head and bring my hand to the top of my nose to rub the temples.

"Jus' wanted to bring you some food...s'all." He says, coughing and clearing his throat.

"Well like I said, I'm not hungry."

He flashes a quick surrendering smile at me. "Alright kiddo." He says softly walking towards the door.

"Don't call me that, I'm not a kid anymore, Joel." I reply to the nickname sharply, making him look back at me.

"Jus' thought I'd be nice and bring you some food, Ellie." He sighs. "Are you going to be mad at me forever?" His words stung, forevers a long time. And I know that, but what he did was unforgivable.

"Are you fucking kidding me Joel? Of course I am, I could have been the cure for man kind. It wasn't your fucking-" I collect my breath, wasn't going to cry in front him. "It wasn't your decision, Joel, it was mine." I look at him, both of us holding back tears in our eyes, they glistened together.

"I know, and I'm sorry." He clears his throat once again. "You gotta understand, I did what I had to do." Silence. Just silence. "And I'd do it again if I had too."

Ouch, right?

"Get out." I whisper.

"Ellie please-" he steps forward.

"I don't wanna hear it Joel, I don't want you too speak too me, I don't want you too bring me food and I sure as hell don't want too even catch you looking at me." I break, crying. The tears rolling off my flushed pink face.
