Glad I Found You

Chapter 5

I wake up, once again to the sun light in my face. All the house is quiet, so quiet I can listen to the birds singing outside.
I don't hear any steps from Ellie. Is she still sleeping?
I look around, wishing for Ellie to be sleeping at my side, or coming at me. Just like yesterday, but nothing. I guess she is drawing a line between us, if that's what we can call it.

I walk slowly downstairs, listening to my footsteps on the wood floor. I can listen someone singing in the kitchen, something like: "If I ever were to loose you" but I am not sure if it's right.
I hug her from behind, she's in the chair, looking at he eggs and bacon, and singing. She looks scared but don't move a muscle.
I get myelf far from her and she turns around. I can feel her eyes on my body, body that feels a goosebump wherever she looks. I am wearing a white dress that my mother left behind, to sleep. Her eyes look at my chest and walk freely to my breast's that have the nipples well shown on the dress.

In one movement Ellie walk to me and take my lips in a hot kiss. Her hands everywhere in my body, showing me how much she wants me! I kiss her back, waking up from the coma I was with her lips.

Ellie: "You drive me crazy, Lili. It's been only fucking three days." — She bites my neck leaving it red. — "I swear I don't want to leave you. I am sorry."

Why is she saying this? Sorry? Why?
I can't even think cause in the next seconds I am being carried to the sofa and devoured like I never was. Ellie had a true talent in making me scream her name.

I woke up feeling something soft under my head, and when I open my eyes I see the black pillow from the couch. O look around and nothing from Ellie, maybe she is upstairs.
With silent steps, ready to scare her, I walk upstairs, waiting to find her and scare her, so much that she would scream.
I look inside her bedroom, nothing. I look inside her bathroom, nothing. In my bedroom, nothing. Dis she went haunting?
I go back downstairs and in the kitchen I see it. the cupboard was open and empty. The cupboard that contained Ellie's backpack and weapons. On the table a note: "Sorry. I'll be in Jackson. I can't stay anymore. Visit us. I really like you, but you deserve better."

My eyes flooded with water. How? How could she?
The feeling of having been used weighs heavily on my chest and the tears threaten to fall more and more. How was I stupid enough to believe that she was honest? She killed a lot of people!
No, I can't think like that. It would be hypocritical of me.
There's nothing I can do about what's happened over the last four days. It was my fault for getting involved with a complete stranger!

The rest of the day was calm and melancholy, even a little quiet. I miss her. Why did she leave so earlier?

"Is it my fault? Is it my fucking fault?"

Ellie Williams

I can see Jackson from here, it's been a week since I left Lili's house. It have been a walk with a lot of kills but the place she healed is still intact.

I walk up to the giant gates that protect Jackson and with difficulty and weakness, I ring the small bell.
Suddenly, the eyes of the men who guard there are all focused on me. And they even look apprehensive, until one says, shocked:

Unknown: "It's Ellie! It's Ellie! Someone get Tommy! Ellie's here!"

Soon the gates opened and I felt my body being cradled by a bunch of arms that carried me to the infirmary.
They had smiles on their faces, they seemed happy to see me.
