Third person POV:
Ellie woke up with a disgusting headache, she then felt chills go down her spine because she remmebered what happened last night. She turned around to see Dina was still asleep and still naked. Ellie sat up and noticed her clothes were on the floor next to the bed, she was confused because she thought they were downstairs by the couch, she started putting her clothes on but she heard Dina slowly wake up and her body froze. Dina looked at Ellie, and Ellie looked at her "aha... hey there" Ellie said nervously "....OH MY GOD" she shouted as she just remembered what happened too "too loud" Ellie said covering her head in pain from the hangover "Ellie.... I- I'm so sorry" she said "huh? Dina, we were drunk it's not your fault, if anything it was mine, I started it and I knew what I was doing... so, if anyone has to be sorry, its me" I said with a warm smile "wait, if you knew what you was doing,.. why did you do it... I'm not mad I just, do you... have feelings for me?" She asked. Ellie blushed deeply and also felt sick, she ran to the toilet and threw up, she came back into the room where Dina was and noticed she was clothed. "Look dina, I'm really not feeling well Right now, as I'm sure you dont either, so we'll talk about this another time, Bye" Ellie said almost dashing out "wait-" Dina tried to call out to her but she was already gone.
Ellie's POV:
I had to get out of there, I felt sick and I couldn't tell her how I felt, even though we did do what we did last night but still we were both drunk and I still dont want to ruin everything I've got with her.... what am I going on about, I've probably already messed things up by leaving so quick without any reason. We will have to talk about it soon but I might have to just tell her it was a drunken mistake, hopefully that doesnt ruin anything.
I finally got home and Maria, Joel and Tommy was there, Joel ran over to me and hugged me "There you are kiddo, you scared the hell out of us!" He said "huh?" I said back "we was calling you non stop, why didnt you pick up?" Maria said "Oh, I'm sorry I was at Dina's and my phone was on silent, my bad" I said and then realised I had Hickeys on my neck, I tried to hide it with my hoodie and then I pulled maria to the side as shes the only one who knows how I feel about Dina.
We went to my room and I shut my door so no one else heard "Maria, I-" I got cut off my maria moving my hood "I think I can guess what you're gonna say" she said, I looked down and put my face in my hands "what happened, kid" she asked comforting me at the same time "well, we both got very drunk and she was upset over her and jesse breaking up, for real this time and well I dont know what happened but she was talking and I felt myself getting closer to her, and so did she, and then.... well you can figure out the rest.." I said embarrassed "aw Ellie, listen, I know you're like in love with Dina, but if she did it back dont you think she might feel the same?" - "well no because we was drunk and she was probably thinking about Jesse whilst doing it" I said frowning. I went to grab my phone to put it on charge but then realised it wasnt in my pockets "oh no..." I said with a shocked face "what?" "I left my phone at... Dina's" Maria laughed "Its not funny!" I said and then kinda smiled "I'm sorry it's just, it kinda is" we both laughed and then I got up to leave the room but maria pulled me back "wait a minute kid, you might wanna cover those up if you wanna make it out alive, You know how joel will be" she said talking about the hickeys on my neck "Oh fuck, I'm stupid" she helped me cover them and I headed off to Dina's again.
Dina's POV:
When Ellie left I realised her phone was still here so I expected her to stop by again, I was scared, which wasnt normal for me and Ellie, we could do anything and not be nervous or scared like this. I kept thinking about what happened and I still can't put into words how I feel about it, because I think I knew that I had feelings for Ellie but then acting on those feelings never occurred to me, I don't want to tell her incase she just says it was a drunken mistake, so I'll just say it was a mistake too, I wont lie it will hurt becasue Ellie has a soft spot in my heart and now that I see her as more of a friend, its gonna hurt.
I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and had some water to calm my headache, I was scrolling through my phone and I heard a knock at the door, that already felt kinda painful becasue Ellie usually just walks in and says something stupid, but now she's knocking. I snapped out of my thoughts and walked to the door, I took a deep breath and opened it, when I saw her I froze. "I.. i um left my phone.." she said. I nodded and let her in, she went to the couch and looked around it and couldn't see it, I laughed because she looked dumb as the phone was right infront of her "it's right there" I said smiling "oh..thanks heh" she let out a light laugh. She walked to the door and went to walk out but looked back at me, we both froze in place as if we was in slow motion. "B-bye" she said and left, I took a sigh of relief as the nerves calmed down. I sat back down on the couch and chilled watching the nearly broken TV, I fell asleep after a while dreaming about what happened with Ellie.
Ellie's POV:
I left Dina's again and my stomach was doing somersaults and I felt butterflies, I never felt like this before with her, I mean I had feelings for her yes but these feelings were... different, I couldn't even be in the same room without wanting to be sick. I hated feeling that but I didnt mean to, it was a combination of nerves and my feelings for her. I got back home and figured I wanted to talk to Joel about it. "Hey Joel, can I talk to you about something, its.. important" I said and he got up from the couch and put his guitar down "sure what's up kiddo?" I brought him to my room and I shut the door "everything okay El?" He asked I shrugged my shoulders, he looked worried "I'm not dying dont worry" I laughed and he smiled. "well that's good, anyway whatcha tryin to tell me kiddo?" I took a deep breath and let it out, I sat down next to him and said "okay so, you know how me and Dina are close and-" "You have feelings for her yes" he said cutting me off, I looked at him in shock "wait how did you know?" He smirked "kid, I've seen how you look at her and the walls in here are thin, I've heard you and Maria chat about your feelings for Dina" I blushed a little "oh" he put his hand on my shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze "I still love you, you know that right?" He said and I smiled, I gave him a side hug and then I had to tell him about the situation I'm in so I did.
After i told him everything he looked kind of shocked but not that surprised "well I saw the, yanno, those things" he said pointing at the hickeys "Maria tried to cover them but it didnt work I see" he finished, I laughed and then lay back in frustration "what am I gonna do Joel, I dont wanna lose her but I also cant be in the same room as her" he sighed "well, to be honest kiddo I think you and Dina should have a little break and spend some time apart" I sat back up and looked kinda confused "but that will make things worse" he shook his head slightly "not necessarily, distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that Bs" he laughed making me let out a laugh. "Should I tell her then?" Joel then looked at me at kissed my forehead "that's up to you babygirl" he said getting up "I have to go help Tommy and Maria with getting more food supply from the locals, you coming down to say goodbye to us" I nodded and followed Joel. Maria and Tommy were already ready to go "you ready old timer?" Maria said to Joel, he nodded. I hugged them all before they went "stay safe, and make sure you come back!" I said, they smiled and nodded.
I guess I gotta tell Dina.
Third Person POV:
Ellie got her phone off the charger and found Dina's contact and pulled up the messages, she began writing "Dina I know what we did was a silly drunken mistake but i think it's best if we stop hanging out with each other for a while, just keep some distance from each other, no hard feelings <3 - Ellie"
Ellie sighed and put her phone down, taking a nap.
Dina jumped when she heard her phone ping, she looked at the screen and it said "message received from Ellie" her heart started racing as she opened it. She read the message and she felt her heart drop, she wanted to cry as it felt like her and Ellie's friendship was evaporating. She took a minute or so to calm down and wrote back "okay, but if you ever need anything you know where I'll be! - Dina <3" She decided to be friendly instead of snapping and making a bad move. She looked at the time and it was late, so she decided to go to bed.
