The Fallout (A Jericho Fanfiction)

Vox Populi

Amelia was walking through town enjoying the nice cool day.

It was a few days after Thanksgiving and Amelia spent a whole day with Jake and she was fully back in love with him.

She was ready to be with him again.

But that was something that she had to talk to him about.

She spotted him hunkered down in the grass doing something.

She instantly got a smile on her face and changed her path towards him.

"Hey." She greeted him.

Once she got closer she noticed that he was by one of the old wells.

He looked up at her briefly as she ran her hand over his shoulder.

"Hey you." he greeted back.

"What are you doing over here?" she asked him.

"I'm putting a hand pump on this well so that no one has to waste generator power for water." he informed her.

She gave him a look of disbelief.

"Ok I know that some things have changed but seriously how do you think to do all of this stuff?" she asked her bewildered.

He gave her a lopsided grin.

"Maybe I'll tell you some of my secrets for some kisses." he teased.

She felt herself smile and pushed him back playfully.

"Only you would try to extort some kisses out of me." she joked back.

"Only for you babe." he responded back.

They shared a lingering look before Amelia was the first to break eye contact.

She quickly changed the subject.

"So, is there really a well under there?" she asked.

"The first well in Jericho according to the sign."

Amelia pointed ahead of them.

"I seem to remember another first that happened right over there."

He looked up to where she had pointed.

He chuckled as he remembered the memory.

They were both 16 and she had dared Jake to chug a whole mug of moonshine.

Safe to say that he ended up puking it right back up a few minutes later.

"You shouldn't have dared me." he responded to her.

She gave him a look.

"First of all, nobody even had to dare you. You drank that all on your own." she defended.
