Because He Brought A Gun

Chapter 14.

*CHASES POV.*

We have been walking for about a mile now and there's nothing.? No stores, so gas stations.? What are we in the middle of no where.?

We are soaked, like to the bone. We both were shivering.

Soon I heard Ace's muffled voice. I could barely hear cause of the wind.

"I'm so sorry... I know that I... And that I screw up... My parents left... I smoke..." She spoke.

I could only hear parts of what she was saying.

We headed into an area that had a lot of trees and rocks. Like a Forrest. I found a tiny cave like structure that maybe a buck could fit into. It would Sheild us from the rain and it's dry so we could build a fire.

I sat Ace down into our temporary home.

"I'm going to go and try to find dry sticks okay.?" I told her.

She looked up at me. Her face seemed so empty, so emotionless. I didn't feel comfortable leaving her here by herself for even a few seconds but I need to build a fire.

"O-okay..." She said looking back down at the ground.

I gathered a few surprisingly dry sticks and brought them back.

I set them up to start a fire but when I reached for my lighter it wasn't there. Since when did I lose my lighter.? As I frantically felt my pockets for my lighter, the dry sticks erupted into flames.

I look over at Ace who had pulled out her lighter, lit the fire, then a cigarette.

She looked up at me and she blew out smoke.

"Want o-one.?" She shook.

"Sure.." I took the cigarette she held out to me.

She lit it for me and we just sat there smoking and trying to get warm.

I wonder what exactly goes through her mind. She keeps leaning closer to the fore as she stares deeply into it. I fear she's going to end up hurting herself.

*ACE'S POV.*

I just stared at the fire. Just thinking how much I'd be better off dead right..? But.. What about Chase. He's all I have.. Now. I wonder if I went fully crazy would he accept me, leave me, or would he end up going crazy like me as well.? I don't want that to happen.. I need help. Serious help.

We need music. Music makes everything better. To me anyway.

"Wanna sing a song.?" I looked at Chase hoping he would want to.

"Yeah, what song.?" He looked really happy.

"How about November Rain by Guns N Roses.?" I smiled.

"Yeah I love that song."

Ace- "When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain.

Chase- "We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine.

We continued to sing the song until we finished it off. (If you guys wanna hear the whole song, again, it's November Rain by Guns N Roses.)

We stared at eachothers eyes.

"That was amazing.." He cheekily smiled.

I smiled back and laid my head on his chest.

We then drifted off to sleep.  I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
