Lorelai laid curled up in a ball on a street corner on a cold winter's night. Her dinner, a half eaten loaf of bread, sat next to her. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried to fight the pain that was coming from her back. She shivered as she hugged herself, trying to get just a little bit warmer then she was now. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching. Two people, she determined. But she didn't care. Honestly, she hoped that they would just leave her be. But when life deals you a set of bad cares, your destined to get a really bad one.

"Whoa! Look Vinnie!" A male voice said.

"Wha- Holy shit!!!" A female voice said, causing her to get worried.

Suddenly, she felt someone touch her shoulder, causing her to yell and jump up. Once she was sitting up, she saw Vinnie and Skipp looking at her with worried expressions.

"Hey, are you okay?" Skipp asked, reaching his hand out to her.

She scooted away from him, afraid that she might get hurt more then she already was.

"Um, not that's it's a big deal, but...uh, your bleeding" Vinnie told her.

Lorelai slowly touched her back the best she could. She cringed at the slightest touch as she looked at her hand. And, she was in fact, bleeding. She sighed as she slowly stood up and grabbed her jacket that she was using as a pillow.

"I'll be fine" she told them as she slowly started to walk away.

"No! Your losing to much blood! You most like won't survive the night with a wound like that!" Skipp told her, running in front of her to make her stop.

"Wounds" she corrected.

"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!" He yelled.

"He has a point. Come with us and we'll get you cleaned up" Vinnie told her.

She didn't want to go with them, but what other choice did she have? Freezing to death on the streets or losing to much blood? Not what she had in mind on how she wanted to spend her new life. So she reluctantly followed them. It wasn't long until they arrived at their tent, Lorelai seeing Stone for the first time.

"Finally, you goobers are back. Who is she?" He asked, his Irish accent highly notable.

"Stone, she's hurt. And you're the only one out all of us who knows how to properly take care of wounds like this" Skipp told him.

Lorelai shyly looked up at him as she heard droplets of her blood hit the stone ground below.

"Why would I help some random girl?" He asked, spitting out his unfinished cigarette.

Lorelai looked at the ground before she looked at him, her emerald eyes filled with pain.

"Because it's the right thing to do. And I can tell that you're a good person....deep down inside" she told him.
