TOMMY: CHAPTER 6: Another Day

It's been about a week ever since Joel went missing. Tommy was about to leave to the dam, until he notice Ellie crying on Joel's bed. He walked in to see what was going on. "Ellie… is everything alright?" Tommy asked.

Ellie turned around to Tommy with tears in her eyes, she responded weakly, "No."

Tommy got closer to Ellie and gave her a hug. "I know you miss him, so do I, but we got to move past this, Ellie. You got to be a big girl."

"But, it's so hard" Ellie said with tears in her eyes.

"I know" Tommy said. Luckily Ellie fell asleep while crying. . . So he didn't have to try and calm her down.

Tommy made his way to his men. "Hey, Mason, Earl, Jason, and Nick, I need you to watch over Ellie" Tommy ordered.

"How come, sir." Mason said.

"I'm getting worried about her. And don't make your rifles noticeable. I don't want you make her seem that she is in prison"

Tommy's men headed for his house to watch over Ellie. He then heard Mason talking to Nick. "He was talking about you, Nick"

Tommy continued to make his way to the dam. There was nothing new to do at the dam when he got there. Tommy had an idea to get the other two generators working. It would make power a lot faster. As the day progressed at the day, Tommy went to his office. Tommy sat in a chair near the desk, then he started to remember when he used to be Sarah's uncle.

It seemed that he missed those times. Sarah had always respected his uncle. Now, Tommy wants that back.

For the rest of the day, he sat at a desk, bored, until the engineers asked him what they needed to do. Tommy had let Maria stay home that day, to take care of Ellie. The day was coming to an end. He started making his way back to Jackson.

He finally made it to Jackson. Tommy told his men they can go home. Tommy seemed hungry. "What's dinner Maria?" Tommy asked.

"Well today I made pizza" Maria said.

"Huh? I haven't eaten that like in 20 years." Tommy said. "Well gave some to Ellie, and she seemed to like it." Tommy still felt uncomfortable about eating pizza made by Maria.

"Alright, I'll bite. Where is Ellie?"

"She's asleep, she had a long day" Maria said.

Tommy actually enjoyed that pizza. After that he fell asleep with his wife.
