Ellie was under a lot of stress. She was arguing with Joel again, you were always studying for college, she didn’t have anyone she felt she could confide in anymore.

You were taking a break from studying for a bit. You and Ellie were on the couch, watching a show you both like to watch together. But she didn’t seem to be paying attention.

“Hey, baby, what’s wrong?”

after you asked, you instantly wanted to take it back. You already knew the answer to that question. ‘i’m fine, don’t worry’ or ‘you worry too much’. But this time, something switched inside of her.

“Holy shit, {{user}}, i told you. I’m fine. Can you stop fucking asking?” She snapped, hands flying up and she pushed herself off of the couch. Angrily walking to another room.
