A Wrong Assumption [Matt/Ellie]

"Hm, well you sure it was her that hopped on him and kissed him?" he asked.

"Yes...no." Matt said then started thinking a little bit.

He chuckled.

"I kind of need one answer Matt."

Ellie walked around her hotel room, drinking her bottle of vodka.

"Stupid pizza." she said throwing it across the room.

"Stupid boy, stupid brother, stupid stupid ssssssstupid." she slurred as she went into the bathroom and turned on the bath, letting it fill up as she sat in it.

"Well I'm not really sure she kissed him." Matt said.

"Did she say anything?" he asked sipping his beer.

"She said to listen to her but I didn't...I got too angry." Matt said.

"You're so hot headed man." he chuckled.

"You think I should go talk to her?" Matt asked.

"Maybe after your all cooled off. After everything she's been through, you're probably the only person who she feels comfortable around, so probably after seeing you get mad and storm off, she's scared now." he said.

-

Ellie finished the vodka and threw it away as she stood up and locked her hotel room doors and bathroom door. She smiled to herself as she sat down in the almost filled bath tub and closed her eyes.

"You're probably right but...I really want to settle this now. You know I hate having people mad at me for something stupid I did." Matt said.

'You're always doing something stupid." he joked.

"Just hope she's still there and didn't storm off somewhere."

"I do not always do something stupid." Matt said.

"You get mad so easily, that you never let people talk or explain things. It's more amusing than anything." he smirked.

"Oh shut up." Matt said before he opened the door then walked out.

"Later man." Shannon laughed as he jumped back onto his bed and fell back asleep.

Matt walked back to his room then went in.

"Ellie?" Matt asked.

She heard Matt call her but she remained quiet as the water went over her head.

She took one last breath and closed her eyes once more.

Matt looked around then went into Ellie's room.

"Ellie?" Matt asked.

He sighed.

"Ellie where are you?!" Matt yelled.

The water flowed over the bath tub and onto the floor as she started to struggle to breath. Her lungs were burning from her lack of oxygen and she felt herself fading away.

Matt looked around then saw the water and his eyes widened. He ran to the door then tried to open it but it was locked.

"Ellie!" Matt yelled before he stepped back and ran into the wall, trying to knock it open.

Her eyes fluttered closed as her heartbeat started slowing.

Matt ran into the door a couple more times before the finally opened. He grabbed his shoulder then looked at the bath tub and went over to it. Matt's eyes widened as he stared at Ellie's motionless body in the tub in shock.

"Oh my god Ellie!" Matt yelled before he reached in and pulled Ellie out.

He gently lied her down on the floor before he started performing CPR.

"Ellie wake up!" Matt yelled.

She laid there motionless as he performed CPR.

For a minute, she swore she could have heard her Mom telling her to go back, but it was probably just her imagination.

"Ellie please wake up come on!" Matt yelled.

Her heartbeat started to increase as she started to get some oxygen into her lungs.

She started to gasp for air as she kicked her legs out a bit.
