IT was way past midnight and Joel can't seem to sleep with the thought of Ellie's depression and loneliness , he knows that he will always be with Ellie. Even if it kills or hurts him but can't shake the thought of Ellie being hurt both emotionally and physically .He wakes up so see on his side Ellie fast asleep with her jack and daxter shirt. Tears in her closed eyes, but these weren't sad tears... no these were tears of happiness and Ellie had a smile on her sleepy face and Joel couldn't help but kiss her cheek and whisper
"I wish I could help you baby girl, if only you knew you aren't alone in this world" Joel sheds a tear but wipes it away and starts to head to the kitchen for a bottle of water. as he go gets it he notices a crumbled letter on the living room next to the kitchen ,and Joel knows this will hurt Ellie but can only help her if he knows what's in the letter so he reads it. As he start reading the letter.
It starts explaining how this woman loved Ellie presumably her mom and explaining how her father left her and Ellie and Marlene taking care of her, also her words of wisdom were "You can't give up in this world ,you have to find a purpose and fight for it" Joel smirks at this remark that reminds him of telling her to "keep finding something to fight for" a month back .But what immediately paralyzed him was WHO it was from...
"FROM YOUR LOVING MOTHER ANNA"
Joel drop his water and then the letter and can't seem to move an inch but his mind was processing painful memories of what happen 15 years ago but what shocked him the most was ,if this "Anna" is the same type of Anna he's thinking then that means -
"Ellie .. Is my… b-baby girl" Joel says surprised,
emotions are filling him up .He's sad, happy, angry and regretful. He just sits on the couch all night just thinking of all the things he could have done with Ellie as a ….."Dad" and also with Anna as a wife. He is mentally asking himself if what he did was right to Anna .Joel then hits the realization that he could had a .. "family" Joel then sobs and puts his hand to his face to cover his guilt.
Ellie wakes up and yawn to look at the sunlight hit her in the face. she cursed under her breath and then headed to the kitchen but has smile on her face when she sees Joel on the couch ,but it quickly fades away as she sees her moms letter on the floor next to a bottle of water and then says "Joel.. what are you doing ?" Joel looks at Ellie for a second and then looks away .Ellie sees this and feels hurt and then looks at the letter but it is mostly covered in water and this angers Ellie as she yelled
"JOEL WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO , YOU RUINED MY LETTER ….DID YOU READ IT I FUCKING TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH MY STUFF…..ESPECIALLY my letter !" she said the last word hurted .
"Ellie ….I-I-Im sorry "Joel said it sadly but Ellie sees this and then looks at him with an apologetic look and says softly
" Joel I sorry I didn't mean to upset you I'm just ….angry that you read it ..it was kind of personal"
"No Ellie , I'm the one who should be sorry… you had every right to yell at me …"
"no Joel you were just concerned of me ….thanks for caring for me ..i shouldn't be selfish. I'm sorry Joel" Ellie hugs Joel tight and after 5 seconds Joel hugs her Back tightly as well
"Its OK Ellie…you know I love you right "Ellie looks at Joel and Smiles ,tears drop to her face and says " of course ..you loved me more than my real dad could….right DAD" Joel smiles and says "of course"
