10:45pm

An hour passed by and Joel still hadn't returned, Sasha already had a building worried face as more minutes went by, Jackson was safe, but what if he got into a fight? Sasha looked back and saw Joshua and Ellie chatting with each other laughing now and then like they usually were, you wouldn't think they broke up at all

Suddenly, a door opened getting all three of their attention, and in came Joel, he brushed his sleeve, as Sasha stood up and frowned her eye brows after he took a few steps toward them, seeing there was dirt remains on his jacket

"Hey" Sasha greeted, and Joel gave her a smile

"hey..had a problem with Seth" he explained

"Oh god, are you alright?" She asked as she went to his side

"I'm good, hon. It's nothing" Joel said giving her a smile

Ellie closed her journal and sighed when she saw Joel

"Finally" Ellie said as Joshua stood up and went over to him with Ellie behind him

"You alright, dad? How'd it go?" Joshua asked, and Joel looked at him

"With some persuasion, Seth listened to what I had to say and that mission you were assigned, Joshua, has been given to somebody else"

Sasha gave him a shocked look and Ellie smiled at Joshua, showing she was happy for him, Joshua cracked a small smile as well

"...oh, well thanks for that, dad, really..." Joshua said nodding his head, and Joel nodded back

"Gives you more time with Ellie" he said crackin a smile at the two Joshua pressed his lips together and glanced at Ellie and she glanced at Sasha, who nodded and waved her hand slightly and mouthed 'I'll tell him later'

"Joel, come on....." Ellie said embarrassed, Joel smirked briefly then stood up

"Well, reckon it's getting late, I think were gonna start gettin home...and get my girls to bed" he said putting his arm around Sashas shoulder and she leaned into him and placed her hand on his toned chest

"Uh huh" Sasha smirked at him rubbing his chest "my old man needs sleep too" Joel leaned his head to the side just a bit and nodded to her

Joshua placed his hand on his head then looked down "yeah I better start headin home too, long day tomorrow" he mumbled

Ellie nodded "me too"

Then Joel and Sasha both headed to the door and Joshua and Ellie soon were behind them

"Goodnight kiddos" Joel said looking back at his son and Ellie and Sasha waved to them

"See you sometime tomorrow okay?" Sasha asked both of them and they nodded

"Bye guys" Ellie said

"Night" Joshua said to them and then they walked away, leaving both Ellie and Joshua alone, he turned to her and Ellie looked at him

"...I'll see you tomorrow too?" She asked him in a soft voice

Joshua nodded "sure..." he patted her arm gently "night, Ellie"

"Goodnight...." Ellie said half smiling and Joshua walked out, with Ellie closing the door and locking it behind him, Joshua put his hands in his pockets and put his hood over his head as he walked on to the supply district back to his place
