What Happens Now?

Old memories

Mikes POV
   Me and Blake have been walking for hours trying to find a new place to make camp but I swear the woods weren't so big when we were kids. Walking threw them I hear foot steps that aren't mine and Blake's so I motion for him to stop.

"Stay here ima go see what that was." I whisper. And then make my way near the noise. Then the noise stoped and out of no where an arrow comes shooting past me, and I let out a yelp as I fall next to a tree. Shit someone's trying to kill me I thought to myself.
Then I heard a soft voice speak.

"How's there?"

"Don't shoot I come in peace I yell holding my hands out.

"Come out to where I can see you" the soft voice says. So I take a breath thinking this is it and step out. And I hear a gasp followed by my name. I look up and see her, and I can't believe it. It's Sam, she looks great, and kinda hot the way she's holding that bow. I walk to her and give her a hug. After explaining to her where I've been. She then invites me to come to her camp but first I have to whistle for Blake, she didn't seem to happy to see him but I can understand why, I hated the way he picked on her when we were kids. It broke my heart to see her cry.

Sams POV.

The next morning I woke up to the sound of wood being chopped. Looking out the window I saw Mike shirtless chopping wood. And I instantly got all hot and bothered. The way the sunlight hit the sweat on his strong arms and chest, and the way his muscles flexed with every blow to the wood. I was pulled way from my thoughts when I noticed him looking at me with a smirk on his face. Great I got caught! Quickly dropping the curtain I got dressed for the day and woke Cora up.

"Come on get up! Let get breakfast." I said as I left the room.

  20 minutes later I brought out eggs that I made on a homemade burner that runs off of gas. Thank you survival class. And gave them to the boys as they took a break.

"So you guys up for a gas run?" I asked and they both looked at me confused.

"Why would we need to do that?" Blake asked.

" well I'm not gonna walk everywhere when I have a perfectly good bike and Cora has a truck." I said crossing my arms.

" Yea I'll go with you" mike says as he finishes his eggs.

"Ok great you can drive the truck I'll take my bike." I say Turing around and heading towards my bike that's under a tarp.

" what bike?" Blake yells out.

   And at that time I slung the tarp off revealing my oh so sexy mat black crotch rocket. Or death on wheels as Cora likes to say. I look back at the boys and their jaws are dropped, I just smile and climb on. "You coming" I turn to Mike and ask.

He shakes his head and quickly stands "uh yea" he says making his way to the truck and I throw him the keys. After Cora says buy and warns mike not to wreck her truck we head off to steal as much gas as we can hold in the gas containers we've found. Before long we have 8 filled to the top.

"So Sam, how have you been?" Mike asked

"Well all things considered" I say motioning around us with a laugh "I've been pretty good. How about you?" I asked sitting down on the tail gate.

"Oh ya know trying to stay alive." He said in a laugh. And we just sat there for a while.

"Mike, can I ask you something?" I asked

"Sure"

"Why were you so nice to me?" I asked looking up at him.

"Well, idk I didn't like seeing my friends pick on you and I never knew your story but the way you would come to school tried all the time I just knew something was going on." He said looking back at me. "If you don't mind my asking what did happen.

"My mom had cancer, those days I was tired was because I had stayed up all night taking care of her."

" what about your dad?" He asked in a worried voice.

"He never wanted me." I told him. Tears stinging the back of my eyes. "It's been a while seance I talked about this."

"Oh I'm sorry please don't cry, I don't like to see you upset." He said as he scooted closer and pulled me into a hug. "I never knew any of that I'm so sorry you went threw that."

"Thank you" I said with my face against his chest crying.

" For what?"

"For being the only person that ever showed my kindness." I said looking up at him. And then he pulled me back into a hug and kissed the top of my head.

"Come on let's get back before it gets any colder." He said to me helping me down of the tailgate.

Getting on my bike I wipe away the tears and head for home. Thinking about how good his arms felt wrapped around me. And how I never wanted him to let go.

*************************

Later that night once the boys went home me and Cora sat in the living room.
" so how was your trip with mike?" She asked giving me a wicked smile.
So I threw a pillow at her and said it was fine.
Laughing she got up and went to lay down. But as I sat there I still couldn't stop thinking about our hug. It made me feel so safe.

What do you guys think? Is there love in the air?

Stay tuned!
