BRIANNAS POV:

Joel's farm was so peaceful.
It's been days since we moved in.
I admired the sunset outside the window as Ellie was playing guitar in her room.
Ever since we moved in all we did was clean.
Ever since Joel died this house hasn't been cleaned.
But it's clean now.
I walked over to Ellie as I saw her looking at her guitar while playing.
"That's beautiful"I admire her.
She smiles "thank you".
"Hey you should go outside a bit,you know some fresh air"I tell her.
"Why?"she asks.
"Ellie you haven't been out in days,listen I care about you"I run my fingers through her hair.
She nods as she puts her guitar down.
I watch Ellie leave as I sigh.
It's been months and she's still not recovering from Joel's death.
I'm really worried about her but there's nothing I could do.
Therapy would help but is there really therapy in this apocalypse...?
I'm stupid. I thought to myself.

ELLIES POV:
She's right.
I should go outside for some fresh air.
I haven't been out for days.
And haven't been on patrol for weeks.
I head out of the house as I walk to the field and decide to go to the barn.
I opened the barn as I decided to feed the animals.
I walked over to the hay and grabbed a few as I fed the horses.
"Hi little buddy"I say smiling as I stroke the horse.
A wave of memories came in my mind.
Watching Joel get beaten up by Abby while I was tied down.
The horrors I've witnessed.
YOU WILL FUCKING DIE.

I realised Abby is still Alive.
She's still alive and she's probably still wandering around.
I need to kill her.
She deserves it.She deserves to die.
I suddenly feel panic in my chest as I panic and more memories of Joel goes through my mind.
I fall on my knees and cover my face screaming.
I heard Brianna running to me.
"Woah woah Ellie what's wrong?!?"she took my hand hugging me.
"J-Joel..."I say shaking.
"It's alright El"She kisses my cheek to comfort me.
"Abby...Abby is still alive..."I cough.
"Dont you dare go after her Ellie..you know she's dangerous."She says looking into my eyes.
"But-"
"Ellie look at me"she says softly.
I suddenly felt calm as I look at her softly.
"It's gonna be alright,let's go back and I'll make you tea alright?"she takes my hand leading me out of the barn.
My hands were shaking as the flashbacks disappeared.
We arrived in the house as she set me down on the couch and went to the kitchen.
I curled into a ball trying to calm myself.
I breathed slowly..

Kill her.

Stop.

Kill Abby.

Don't do this.

Make her suffer.

For Brianna.

Get Revenge.

"Ellie?"Brianna comes back with a teacup.
"I made you green tea."she places it on the table.
"Drink it it's gonna make you calm alright?"she kisses my forehead.

I take the teacup as I drink the tea.
The warm feeling on my tongue as it has a hint of bitter taste.
"Thanks"I smile at her.

BRIANNAS POV:

Something is off about Ellie.
I have a feeling she's onto something.
I know she's my girlfriend but I'm worried for her.
The panic attack she had scared the hell out of me.
I hope she forgets about it.
I kiss her forehead as I leave the living room.
I walk upstairs as I go to our room.
There I see Ellie's guitar.
The sun shining on the guitar.
I sighed as I cleaned my closet.
If she goes back after Abby things are gonna get messy...
And I don't want her to get hurt.
Abby deserves the pain but I don't want Ellie to get hurt.
I want her to stay...I don't want her to get hurt...
