    Summary

    “You wanna move out?” Joel asks, and Ellie bites the side of her cheek briefly. Joel’s face conveys more than his tone, sometimes, but she can’t let herself look at him. It’ll make it too hard to say what she knows she needs to.

    “Yeah,” she says, studying a chip in the paint on the railing with way more focus than it needs. “Probably a good idea, you and me having our own space.” She isn’t brave enough to bring up what people are saying about them not having their own space. She can’t do it. Either he’s not aware of it yet, or he is, but reminding him about it might mean him wanting her even farther away before her existence even in the backyard has other people making his life harder. If the closest she can get is being in the garage, she doesn’t want to risk fucking up even that.

    “Alright,” he says after a long, long moment. She grits her teeth against the toneless quality of his voice. That’s the tone he uses when he doesn’t want someone to know what he’s actually feeling.

    Like he would if he didn’t want a pathetic QZ kid to know how relieved he is that he’ll finally be done dealing with her shit.

    Summary

    Ellie wasn´t allowed to fall asleep. Because if she did, then Joel was left unguarded. And if Joel was left unguarded, then he might get killed. His stitches might reopen. Someone might find them. Anything could happen.

    And so, Ellie had to stay awake.

    Summary

    Still, even as the blood on her side dries, she cannot swallow the dread in her throat.

    They walk. They make camp. They sleep. Ellie pretends she does not hear Joel’s nightmares. Joel pretends he does not see the way Ellie sleeps with a hand cupping her own cheek, an unstable apparition of her mother that’s just strong enough to leave salt drying on her face in the morning. They wake. They walk.

    Ellie bleeds.

    Summary

    “Dude, knock,” Abby says, like she does every time he bursts into her room.

    Lev trips over a dirty sweater, giving it a disdainful look. Then, he glances up at her. She can see the moment his face pales.

    “It’s—” she starts.

    “—You need to go to the clinic.”

    She sighs. “Listen, I’ll be fine—”

    “Clinic.”

    “Okay, okay.”

    Little hardass.
