—few weeks after they arrived in Jackson—
*Knock* *Knock* I heard just when I got comfortable at Ellie's couch. -"Are you fucking kidding me?" I cursed under my breath. I looked at Ellie but she had her headphones in and listened to a song on full volume. She was also drawing something so there's no way she's aware of the world around her. -"Of course I'll get the door for you when you asked so nicely. It's not like I'm a guest here or something, right?" I talked to her fully aware that she can't hear me while walking towards the door. I opened the door and met Joel's eyes. -"Hey Joel." I said. -"Oh. I didn't know you'll be staying here." He said a bit surprised and I let him in. -"Yeah. We thought it will be better for me to stay here for the night, considering it's our first group patrol tomorrow." I explained. -"She even aware of you?" He pointed at Ellie. -"Yeah. But not of you apperently." I replied. He then kinda kicked the chair underneath her. -"Jessus!" She ghasped. -"You almost gave me a hearth attack." She chuckled at Joel. -"What's up Joel?" She asked. -"Just checking in on you two. You know the folks are really happy with how well you're helping out." He said. -"That's great." Ellie replied to that. Shit even I can feel the tension here. -"Actually Tommy and I were out and he told me a joke and I thought about you. It was eeeh- Oh shoot, now I forgot it." He tried remebering. -"Joel it's um, it's pretty late and we gotta get up in a few hours." Ellie told him. -"No. I wanna hear the joke." I chuckled. -"Just. Let me show you something." He said and ran to the door real quick. Meanwhile Ellie looked at me with confused look and I shrugged. He came back with a guitar. -"What's that?" Ellie asked. -"Some folks can this thing a ge-taar." He replied. -"Good one." I chuckled. He sat down and looked at us. -"Do you wanna hear something?" He asked. -"Oh, shit. For real?" Ellie said and we both watched him carefully. -"But promise me you won't laugh." He looked at me and back to Ellie. -"I won't." She said. -"Oh, come on. You can't be that bad. Or can you?" I asked a little unsure. -"I'm trusting you." He said and started playing the guitar and singing. It was beautiful. Me and Ellie got carried away in the moment. Then Joel finished the song. I gave him a small round of applause. -"Well that wasn't too bad." Ellie said. -"She's yours." Joel said and gave Ellie the guitar. -"What, no. I don't know anything about this." She resisted but took the guitar anyway. -"Not yet. What do you say, tomorrow night first lesson?" He asked her. -"Deal." She replied. -"Don't worry you'll get yours too." Joel turned to me. -"Nah, I don't know. It seems complicated." I told him. -"It's not, trust me." He said and got walking away. When he was about to close the door Ellie spoke to him. -"Did you remember the joke?" He thought for a second and then smiled and started talking. -"What is the downside of eating the clock?" We both shrugged. -"It's time consuming." He then said and we laughed a little. -"That's stupid." Ellie said. -"That's why it's perfect for you." I said and got a crumpeled paper in the face. I laughed once more. -"Goodnight, kiddos." Joel said. -"Night." -"Goodnight Joel." We replied and he closed the door.
