Hiding in the cold of a dark place

Heels clicked and sprinted through the crowded streets, two figures running, dashing from something.

A group that certainly outnumbered the two were following, yelling–shouting, “Surrender now!” at them. But the two didn't stop, they ran, knocking down whatever they could to slow down the group behind them. But alas, no avail...

You're probably wondering how the hell this happened, well lets explain;

The silver haired male, brushed through the streets like a leaf in the wind, swiftly taking what they could from the pockets of those around them. Their partner–who they had split up with–unfortunately had got caught stealing (not the first time), and now here they are running through the streets of Armani, away from the police. Again.

The two move together like they were in a play, the two were in sync with eachothers movement, like a group of colors colliding together creating a mesmerizing pattern in their dance.

Then, through a burst of colors–a gunshot was heard. The blonde fell, a faint grunt escaped from his lips. The other stopped in their tracks to help their partner up “Shit..! Fuck!” they stammered, holding their partner up, they sprinted.

They ran, and ran. They took their chances at an even more crowded place quickly shoving their way into the crowd and hiding in an alley nearby. Turns out it was a market selling all kinds of things, doesn't matter now. They sat on the cold hard floor of the alley. Surprisingly it wasn't dirty as most alleys they ended up in were nastier than an abandoned house.

They carefully laid their partner down on their lap, removing the blindfold off his eyes “Adam..? Dude are you okay?!” they called, Adam slowly opened its eyes “gh..- im okay..” he gasped. “A small gun shot won't hurt me Jo..” he reassured them. “but- your leg- we can't keep-” they stuttered between words, not knowing what to say, they were cut off by a hand cupping their cheek “It's nothing Jo, all i need is a few bandages and we'll hide somewhere else.” he looked at the crowd, observing out how the people walked passed the alley without noticing how much the two boys stood out. “This crowd isn't gonna stay here all day,” he added, falling limp on his partner's lap once again.

“you're right.. the cops will start looking for us eventually” it sat upright against the hard bricks of the alley, “Are you bleeding?” Jonah asked, “well no shit i am!” he grunted looking at where they shot its leg. “you should've at least said so!” they shouted frantically looking through the pockets of their jacket and pants. Eventually they pulled out a small gauze.

Everything was a blur after that, soon the day shifted into the afternoon. Adam was on his phone most of the time, Jonah would always be there to break the silence by striking a conversation or shooting a joke at their partner.

“What were you trying to steal anyway?!!”

“I was stealing some apples! Then when I grabbed it someone decided to shout 'thief!!!' LIKE AN ASSHOLE. Then i made a run for it cause i heard the fucking sirens and-”

“you ran into me?” they raised a brow

“Yea and then the whole thing happened! I don't even know how I got shot! I was running just fine!” he complained.

“Jesus these cops are getting better…” They brushed a hand through the curls of their silver dyed hair “Remember that one time we jumped on those buildings?” They asked, laughing a little bit.

“Oh that? Yeah I do! You were too much of a pissbaby to jump the first time” Adam snickered, pulling up a side of his blindfold to see his partner

“NO I WASN'T! It's just- I wasn't used to the boots okay..!” Jonah huffed, crossing their arms. Adam smiled, “yea yea, keep telling that to yourself, also the boots nearly broke when you used them, i ended up having to steal bullshit for you again!”

“awww my knight in shining armor!” they teased, clasping their hands together and closing their eyes.

Minutes passed, the sky shifted its hue into a bright looking pink, then minutes turned hours. Adam had fallen asleep on Jonah's shoulder. The day was tiring, most of it was just them running away from the cops! (Again) usually they'd get out with a minor bruise from hitting the ground too hard– or their legs just completely stopping the next time they tried running for it. But either way they always, always get away, so they had nothing to worry about… right?

Jonah got up and sighed, “I'll be right back okay?” they whispered, ruffling their partners hair softly.

Eventually Adam woke up, but… Jonah wasn't there… His eyes widened as it finally noticed, he scrambled to stand up, but fell back down the moment he could stand upright, it winced when he hit the ground. “oh fuck!” he gasped, looking at it. He looked around once more, when he took one final glance at the end of the alley, it hit him harder than it should've.

Jonah.. wasn't there.. Where did they go? Did they find them? Are they okay? What- what happened? Why did they leave? If they did take them, why didn't they take me with them?

The questions pounded on his chest, he wanted to find its partner, he wanted to know if they were okay.. Then he felt a small buzz on his ass, it made him jump in surprise. He took out his phone to see a few unread messages from: jonahmarshall69

That was the last message Jonah sent. Adam felt the fear crawling on his back as he took a look at the time on his phone. It was 11:02PM. Adam couldn't walk- he couldn't do anything he felt useless. He frantically began clicking the call button. He sighed heavily as he pressed the phone on his ear. “please pick up please pick up please pick up-” he repeated softly. Then there was a voice on the other line.

Awoop jumpscare 😨😨
