Chapter one ~ Fuck this Shit

“Holy shit!” CJ exclaimed sitting cross legged on the floor of her room: the attic of Joel’s house. She had been looking non stop for weeks for her favorite guitar pick. Somehow when she was playing with Joel last she lost it and hasn’t had it since: It’s been TORTURE! Without it she felt like a beginner guitarist again, as if the guitar pick has anything to do with her skills. But it’s sentimental Joel had made it for her a year after they got to Jackson for her birthday which she insisted and I quote “I swear to god old man if you make my birthday a big deal I will make you PAY!” And suffice it to say he made it just deal enough with his custom present.

“YeSSSSS!!!” CJ jumping in relief holding the pick up in the air as a trophy. She then proceeds to kiss it all over. “I will be a better mommy I promise” “I won’t ever loose you again.” She then looks around her room and her eyes land on the clock next to her bed it says 4:45 pm “Oh, Fuck me.” She says exasperated. She promised Dina that she would swing by at 5 and give her some of the weed that CJ has been experimenting with: Hey! Get your kind out of the gutter she’s only been adding herbs and shit to it like lavender or ground coffee beans that she stole from Joel: Oh shit, forget I said that he would kill me if he found out like literally strangle; please save me kind of death. I’m begging for mercy here people!

Anyway, Cj gets up off the floor and walks to her closet humming a song that she’s been practicing for Ellie birthday. Ok, yes CJ doesn’t nesasarrily love singing in front of other people but it’s Ellie’s favorite fucking song ok! And I just found the Transcript in some old janky music store on my patrol with Jesse so win-win and I’m also competing with Joel for whose present is the best. Let’s let you decide shall we? My present: her bestest friend singing and playing guitar of her favorite songs THEN giving her the chords and transcript so that way she can learn it too! Or Joel’s present: A big ass fucking muesuem full of space shit that Ellie absolutely fucking adores and not to mention the fact that there is a LITERAL DINOSAUR outside it! Yeah, no I’ll definitely win the competition: In my dreams. But honestly I don’t really care because she is going to fucking die when she sees Joel’s present and that’s all that matters: that Ellie is happy and feels special. So anywho, back to my closet ahh right gotta grab my jacket because it is cold as shit outside and I have to walk 6 fucking blocks to get to Dina’s place.

CJ slips her jacket on but not with out a literal button getting stuck in her hair. “How the fuck?” CJ says to herself snorting a laugh down. She ruthlessly fights with the button until the fucker let’s go of her hair. And she straightens her jacket out brushing off imaginary dirt from the arms. She then walks over to her desk and grabs her beat up back pack from the ground then shoved her Walkman, sketchbook, and last pack of juicy fruit chewing gum into the bottom. Before zipping up the bag she looks back to her almost empty gum and says “hmm…gonna have to make a bet with Tommy again and hope to god he loses so I can force him to get me another pack.” She shuffles around her room some more grabbing the container that she keeps her weed in and placing in her bag. Then she goes to her bed and pulls up her pillow and slide her knife out from under it and tucking it in her Jean jacket pocket. She then swings her bag on her shoulder and pushes the ladder down allowing an opening for her to leave her room.

The inside of CJ’s bag consists of

CJ was a firefly when she first met Ellie and Joel at the ripe age of 14 she’s never lived in a QZ. Always just cruising through the woods barely surviving until her next mission to complete with the firefly’s.

CJ was a knife slinger through and through she could hit a target 20 feet away blindfolded (is what she would tell you, but that’s utter bull she just likes to see the looks on peoples faces when she’s pulling their strings). She’s also a skilled archer. She was the one who taught Ellie how to shoot (Don’t let Joel tell you otherwise).

But…CJ was so much more than her survival skills throughout her journey with the two gremlins (Otherwise known as Joel and Ellie, or Old man and all of the above for Ellie; Stupid, amazing, jerk, shithead…to name a few) She was the light of both Ellie and Joel’s lives, which is crazy for them to even fathom considering the first time you all met was anything but pleasant (might have consisted of CJ throwing a knife at Joel’s head and calling Ellie a two headed immune dickface, but hey that’s all in the past and they didn’t take it to heart after they learned more about her anyways, because honestly, and don’t ever tell CJ they said this but she is the most beautiful soul they’ve both ever met.

Sure CJ has her fair share of innapropiate jokes but those don’t even matter because CJ could put a smile on anyone’s face even on the worst of days she’s just effortlessly funny which is putting it mildly. You should have seen the first time she made Joel laugh it was absolutely comical. And it was only two days into knowing the girl. I believe she said something along the lines of “If I was a bird, I know who I’d be shitting on” which made Joel stop still in his tracks and look back at here with the most intense face I’ve ever seen him make and then BOOM he just bust out laughing in tears. Honestly, kinda thought he was fucking dying or some shit.

Joel would never admit to it though he would always say her jokes were “Fine, just don’t have the same humor as you is all” then would proceed to snicker about her jokes later on in the day. But the thing was CJ knew that he found them funny, she would tease him non stop when he actually couldn’t hold in his laughter anymore. Joel loves CJ like he loved Sarah, like he loves Ellie. And he honestly doesn’t know where he’d be right now if it wasn’t for her. Lord knows she’s saved his life in more ways than one literally and figuratively. And for that he would go to the ends of the world for her: For CJ: His daughter: Pride and Joy.

Now, how do we even get started on Ellie and CJ Hmm? CJ and Ellie were close, closer than close anyone could see that. Whether they were just taking a stroll through Jackson or Grabbing a bite at the bar in town their faces were lit up with pure admiration and respect for each other: It would stop everyone in their tracks even for a second just to look at the two of them being effortlessly happy in a world where most things were for lack of better word: Utter shit.

There would be times where they would get a bit close and others would look at them wondering if and others wondering when they would become more. Don’t get it twisted though there were assholes in Jackson too. Just like anywhere else, but we all know what you say to assholes: “My middle finger salutes you; Then just give them the bird and go on with your day. And that is exactly what CJ always did she stand for bullshit. Not in a world where there was already so much to deal with.

That: THAT right there was what made Ellie fall in love with her. Not her Big soulful bright smile. Not her quirky personality that would draw anyone in like a moth to a flame. Not her protective stance when it came to any one and everyone who needed it. Not her beautiful captivating brown eyes that she could drown in forever and never complain. Not your sly remarks that ALWAYS got a snicker or full on laugh even when trying and failing to act like the remark wasn’t all that funny just to tease her. Not her dark Lucious hair and fly always that always effortlessly framed her face in a way that highlighted her beauty even more. Not the way that her breath would sease every time that she heard your laugh even if it was from a mile away. Not the way that she admired your skills in everything you do and the fact that you could take out an infected in your sleep. No: it was the fact that even through all of the shit you’ve gone through with her and without her you still manage to shed even the smallest light on anyone who needs it. And that selflessness is your strength and your weakness.

In this one shot CJ is at Dina’s place while Ellie is sleeping off an early patrol and one thing leads to another and now you are on the verge of a break down. Joel is out on a run so the only other thing that will help you right now is Ellie; Your Ellie.
