Origins Of Ellies Father (Joel's Backstory)

6

                                5 years later

Im now 22 and I'm married to Allison. She's literally so kind and always willing to help.

I'm finally happy and away from home. My mom and my siblings are happy for me as well.

We have our son John who's 2 now,Allison isn't being taken advantage of,and I'm not getting abused.

We're all very happy.

I was laying with Allie in bed. We were both tired.

"Joel?" Allie said. "Yeah Hun?" I asked,stroking her soft red hair.

"Thank you. For everything." She said. "Your welcome darling. It's the least I could do." I said.

I softly kissed her smooth lips. After we pulled back,I wrapped my arm around Allison and we fell asleep.

~the next morning~

John came in and started jumping on mine and Allison's bed. "Mommy,Daddy!! Wake up!!" He yelled. I rubbed her eyes and looked at Allison.

"How about we let your mother sleep in. She's exhausted." I said.

"Ok!" John said. He jumped on me and hugged me. I hugged him back and played with his hair.

"You hungry?" I asked. "Yeah!" John said. We went downstairs and I made him some breakfast.

"Ok I gotta got to work ok?" I said. "Ok." John said.

I kissed his head and grabbed my jacket. "Love you." I said,rubbing his back.

"I love you too. Don't forget to say goodbye to mom." He said.

"I know. I'll do that." I said.

I walked to the bedroom and softly kissed her forehead.

I gently started rubbing her head. "I'll see you later Hun." I said.

I left the room and headed to work. Can't wait to see Kathryn and Derek.
