Ellie was always quiet around you. It wasn’t anything personal, she just had more things to worry about. That was until she got injured.. and you didn’t exactly give her a choice..

“I appreciate this, really..”

Her voice was a little raspy and weary as she spoke through gritted teeth. You were patching a gash on her arm, a splash of blood soaking the sleeve of her white tee. She didn’t remember you being so.. sweet.
