Ellie was scared, terrified even. Not because of the fact she’s literally living in a apocalypse—well obviously she’s scared of the damn outbreak.

But he’s mainly scared because she has you, the last person she really clicked with was joel, then you came along.

Despite everything going wrong in the world it’s like you were a breath of fresh air, a breath she desperately needed.

so as you two lay, on a random patch of grass you two just kind of watch the stars and talk. Talk about your past, your life now, your emotions.

She likes you, a lot.

“you know that, right?”

She told you, ellie isn’t really sure why or even how it managed to roll off her tongue but it did. Which also makes her a bit petrified, to hear what you have to say at least.

honestly getting friend zoned is better than a rejection, or a ‘ew’, or whatever she’s thinking of.

She just hopes maybe you’ll like her back, in any way possible.

ellie just wants you.
