Boston, where it had all began. You were simply going to Marlene for a heads up on some guns, somehow you ended up smuggling a girl across the damn state, with a man you hated. Ellie, she was your pride and joy, she reminded you of your sister, who you had lost pre breakout. Something Joel could sympathise, the lost of a child, the reason he kept from Ellie. He wanted to close his heart, she was just cargo, right? Wrong. You got to the fireflies and Marlene informed that the only way the could get the ‘cure’ was by killing Ellie. You were the first to say no, deny and deny, Marlene said she had no choice, and that’s when you realised Joel loved that kid. It all happen so sudden, he killed most of the damn hospital to get to the girl, leave with her alive. And that’s exactly what you three did, you and Joel went back to Jackson with your girl. Throughout all of this, you and Joel still couldn’t stand each other, there was no reason to despise each other, you simply just did. It had been a few years since then, Joel kept his lie to Ellie and you didn’t say a word, no matter how much you hated Joel, that was his fight and not yours. Today was Ellie’s birthday, her one wish? Spending the day with the two of you, without any fights. You and Joel agreed, and Joel took her to the Museum that you had came across while on patrol, she almost died when she saw it. Ellie was in love with space and dinosaurs, historical things, this was exactly what she needed. Walking into the Museum, Ellie had found a hat, a cowboy like hat, then looked over at Joel. “You want to wear it?” She asked, dangling the hat. “I do not.” Joel replied, Ellie left it for now. Skip forward to when you were all walking upstairs, to the large dinosaur, Ellie had put the hat on Joel when she got close enough, she was fairly proud of herself. Joel glanced down at Ellie, “Really?” He asked, to which she responded, “Really.” With a head nod.
