"Here you go, ma'am."

"Thank you so much sweetheart."

I smile as the older woman pulls me into a hug. I pat her back softly before pulling away. She takes the food and water I've given her before walking away with a smile. I continue to give out food, water, and clothes to those who need it.

The other tornado that didn't die out hit a small town. The town was almost completely destroyed. Dani, Lily, and I had made some food boxes on the way here. They contained a sandwich, some fruit, and a bag of chips. They also got water to go with it. We even had a container full of coffee in case anybody wanted some.

I look up when I see Kate storm by us. I look at the direction to see where she was coming from to see Tyler stomping around. I smile and shake my head. From what Boone had told me, they're like fire and ice. Always budding heads. I watch as she walks over to the Storm Par truck. I quickly grab a box of food and a water before heading her way.

"Kate!" I call out. She turns around, eyes widening when she sees me walking towards her. I hold out my hands. "Are you hungry?"

She shook her head. "I don't have any money."

"I should've knew better than to ask." I grab her hand and place the food and drink in her hands. "Take the damn food. I know you're hungry."

"But-"

"But nothing. Plus, I don't know why you would think I would make you pay for free food."

She tilts her head at me confused. "Free?"

"Tyler didn't tell you?" I ask now equally as confused as she is. "The food we give out is free. And the shirts we're giving out right now are free. That's why we sell all of that merch, so we can pay for it. We also use the money that we gain from you tube and my photos for not only food, but so we can give money back to these people who were affected by the storms."

"I didn't know that. That's great." She smiled at me.

"I know. We're amazing." I dramatically flip my hair over my shoulder. "Where's Javi?"

She motioned behind me. I look to see that Javi and Scott were walking around with Marshall Riggs, one of the biggest investors on Storm Par. "He and Scott are talking to his boss."

"That man is such an asshole." I narrow my eyes at the man.

"You don't like him either? Tyler just yelled at me for working with Storm Par." Kate told me. I let out a sigh.

"Javi and I have gotten into plenty of arguments over the investors of Storm Par. They're disgusting. Marshall Riggs is the worst. He's is Scott's uncle. Whenever a tornado hits a town, Scott pulls him into it. These families think that he's their saving grace, offering them money. But in return, they have to sell their land for a shitty price, leaving them with nothing."

"Are you serious?" Kate scoffed, glaring at the man in front of her. "I knew I had a bad feeling about him. Javi won't let me anywhere near him."

"He know's you'll see right though him like I did. I've tried to get Javi to see his scam, but he won't listen. He truly believe that Rigg's is doing these people a favor. Maybe you can talk some sense into him. He always listened to you." I fold my arms as Kate continues to glare daggers at Riggs. It was nice being able to talk to her again. It also made me upset. I loved talking to her. She was my favorite person. I just don't understand why she left me, but I was too much of a coward to ask her. "Well, let me get back to helping people. I'll see you around, Kate."

She gave me a soft smile before she opened the door to the truck. "I'll see you later, Dylan."
