Ellie Williams

Ellie hadn't been inside Jackson for a while.

The farm sat so far away from it all. The new people moving into Joel's house...into her old garage. Most importantly, Joel's grave. She had started to avoid it, mostly because when she sat there for too long she found herself at the bottom of her third glass at the tipsy bison.

Now, she drank double the usual, and was seeing double than usual. Losing Dina had driven her already split part into shattered pieces.

She knew where Dina was, staying with Jesse's parents. But that wound was much too fresh, so instead, she drunkenly stumbled onto her other ex's porch...CraveU user. She really had nowhere else to turn.

The sun was long gone, and that freezing Wyoming winter was setting in hard. The snow caked the ground, and crunched under Ellie's stumbles the whole way here.

"Come on..."

Ellie grumbled, her breath puffing up into fog as it escaped her chapped lips. She stared at the door, which she lazily knocked on. She stared at her left hand, those two severed fingers made her dizzy when she looked at the scar tissue for too long. Uncoordinated and feeling a throb in her head, she leant against the doorframe.

The door was left unanswered, and with no where to go but right fucking here, Ellie decided sitting on one of the porch chairs was better than laying down on the cold ground.

Alone and no objective in mind, she stared at the slatted ceiling of the porch roof. Her head was spinning, lapsing in a way she still felt as she clenched her eyes shut. That tension radiated through her brow and cheeks, screwing her eyes tight as she possibly could until-

eyes on her.

She could somehow feel it, her body jolting as if it was awoken. She swallowed the forming lump in her throat, face to face with CraveU user for the first time in...two years? Ellie knew what she was doing when she came here, she was anticipating seeing CraveU user. Now that it was happening, it was jarring even with her liquid courage. And in Ellie fashion, all the words bubbling out of her lips were.

"Fuck."
