Me and Ellie both woke up to Henry lightly shaking us. his only words being "it's time to go." We slowly got up rubbing our eyes but continued to stare at each other blushing. "I'm gonna wake Joel up I'll be back in a flash." And with that Ellie looked at me one last time before running to Joel who was asleep on a sofa shaking him lightly to wake him up. I walked into the office also but I felt a pair of eyes staring at me and I already knew who they belonged to... I glanced over my shoulder to see Sam giving me the death stare.. to my guess he probably seen me and Ellie sleeping together. I smirked and turned back to the window i was looking out of. "Alright this is our time to go. We won't get another shot at this so let's go." After  Henry said that he walked out the door with all of us following behind. Sam walked with henry while me Joel and Ellie walked together following behind. I chuckled a bit in victory in seeing how Sam backed off and Ellie caught on. "What's so funny?" I looked over to Ellie and shrugged a bit, not wanting to tell her that I won her over  sam. " Oh it's nothing." Ellie knew I was lying but decided to stay quiet. We all crouched down when we seen two guards talking to each other. Joel told us to stay back while him and Henry took care of them. I noticed Sam trying to get close to Ellie when they left. "Hey give her room she doesn't wanna be too close with a 12 year old!" I whispered harshly at Sam who gave me another stare. "What's it to you anyway. She doesn't want to be close to a girl like you!" Sam harshly came back. I was a second away from just tackling the kid and start hitting away until Ellie held my arm. "Will you two knock it off jeez what does it matter who I'm close to anyway!" I was gonna say something but ended up staying quiet  because we had to move. It pissed me off mainly... especially when I knew what Sam was trying to do. 'If he's doing it to piss me off it's working...' I clenched my fists at the thought but continued to sneek past the guards until we eventually got spotted..... "shit!" Joel cursed at the guards coming at us firing their guns. It was a full on battle until we got rid of the ones that were in the way. "Henry help me open this!" As Joel and Henry tried to open the door I heard a bang. I look over to see that damn truck. "Shit.. joel!!!" Joel looked over and seen what I yelled at. His eyes widened and finally opened the door as we all ran inside. Joel barricaded the door as we all ran to a dead end. Joel found a truck and lifted Henry up then all of us up but the tiny bit of ladder broke leaving Joel stuck down there. "We have to go!" Henry screamed as him and Sam ran off. "What the fuck henry!" Ellie screamed at them leaving. We decided to jump down with Joel so he wasn't alone. At that moment the truck busted through the barricaded doors but we managed to get inside a building before it could get us. We ran out the other end of the store but the truck was close behind us leaving us running as fast as we could to the bridge. We ran around a semi but stopped as we seen the bridge did not continue. "How many bullets do you have?" ( I know I know I forgot to mention about Joel giving Ellie a gun but if you seen the game you can fill it in ) Joel looked at me and Ellie while he pulled out his gun. "They're gonna kill us.." Joel and I both looked over to Ellie when she said that... "I'll prop you up and you can run past em." Ellie disagreed with Joel and looked down at the water. "We have to jump." I looked at Ellie with shock. "No you can't swim you'll drown." I tried to convince Ellie that we couldn't jump but again she refused.. "No time to argue! Joel and you will keep me afloat!" And with that Ellie jumped and with me and Joel jumping in after her. The current pulled us as me and Joel got a hold of Ellie before she could drown but we seen a huge rock in the way.. "oh shit!!" Me and Joel both screamed as we all hit the rock really hard making us go unconscious....

My eyes fluttered a bit and I looked around me to see Ellie and Joel awake on land. I sat up quickly and seen Joel pointing a gun at Henry. Ellie seen that I was awake and ran over to help me up while talking to Joel. "He saved us! We would've drowned." It looked like Ellie convinced Joel and he threw down the gun.. and me just waking up I was confused as hell.. 'Henry and Sam? Saved us?' I kept thinking about what I heard until I heard Henry speak up. "We are close to the tower. All we have to do is get on the other side of this cliff." Joel looked around and sounded a little annoyed. "Lead the way.." they walked off and Ellie helped me walk a bit since I just woke up. "Thank you Ellie." She looked over at me while we walked behind Henry, Sam and Joel and smiled. "What friend would I be if I didn't help you walk?" She giggled and looked forward.. the sound of friend kind of annoyed me now because I didn't feel like I wanted to be her friend but something more.. I can't figure it out though... I stayed quiet and continued to follow behind with Ellie...
