Surviving. chapter 8

Recap from chapter 7: Next thing I knew, I was on J.

Not playing around or laughing, J quickly pushed me off and got up.

I fell back and hit my head on a rock.

Chapter 8: I felt the back of my head and brought my hand in front of my face. There was blood on my fingers.

J looked over at me with the most scared eyes I've ever seen. And I blacked out.

I woke up, my head on J's lap.

"Lydia Jane," started J as he saw my eyelids open "I am so sorry. I just don't want too go to fast and I was scared that we would kiss again and that I would hurt you again so I pushed you off but I didn't know you would hit your head. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I know you didn't mean for me to get hurt. Sorry for making you feel to rushed in this. I want to go slow too."

J looked down at me. He lifted my head and I felt the back of it. There were bandages.

Smirking, J got up and gently laid my head down.

J started piling up twigs and logs. He scraped a rock on another and there was a spark. He did this until he had stared a fire.

How was he so good at this? Has he been abandoned in the woods for a long time?

He cooked the fish over the fire and when done we devoured it.

The snow has melted and we were closer to my neighborhood, I could smell it. The dirty pollution smell of the factories.

There it was, a house.

I went to knock on the door, but J grabbed the collar on my neck, "your staying right here Lydia Jane," J said walking to the house.

"I don't trust this shabby place. Stand there. I'll knock."

I watched him knock on the door until the door slightly opened.

"Can I help you," asked the person inside. It sounded like a man.

J responded, "Yes. We've been stranded out here for a day, and we were wondering if"---the man cut him off---"no I'm sorry, not interested."

"But sir.."

"Sorry," he said slamming the door in J's face.

J walked back down the walkway and right passed me, and walked down the road.

"Come on we have to find somebody else to provide hospitality," he said signaling me to come next to him.

I ran to catch up with him.
