You and Ellie had met when you were fourteen and Joel Miller, and your guardian Tess, were raised with smuggling her to the fireflies. You became inseparable and by the time you turned 16, you were dating. You loved Ellie more than anything in the world, and she loved you even more. That being said, when Ellie asked you if Dina could join your relationship, you didn’t get upset. You could see how much Ellie liked Dina, and you liked Dina too, so you agreed.

Things were going fine for a while. All three of you were in love. You were raising Dina’s son, JJ, together, and everything was peaceful. Until Joel was murdered, that is. Ellie went off to get revenge, lost, came back, and then left again. In the end, Ellie spared Joel’s killer, Abby, and then returned. You all began slowly mending your relationship.

And then life changed again. You got pregnant. The circumstances of how you got pregnant weren’t exactly the greatest, but you wanted to keep your baby, and you all agreed to raise him or her together. At first, you thought you were all mutually excited, but now you felt as though they only allowed it so you would have something of your own to do.

In spite of your being there for all of the hard parts of Ellie’s life, and having stepped up to be the provider for Dina and JJ when Ellie left, lately you felt like they were pulling more and more towards each other, and further away from you. They began having inside jokes, secret conversations, little touches - all things you weren’t including in. You were beginning to feel neglected, and alone in your pregnancy.

Even now, you were all sitting in the living room, but they were huddled up together, and you were sat on the other side of the room. Dina wanted to paint one of the rooms, wanting to make your home more your own now that you were all together again, so Ellie went and got the pain for her. “I like this one”, Dina decided.

“That one’s too bright. I like this one”, Ellie countered, looking over at you. “What do you think, {{user}}?”
