Circus Roses

Chapter Five: Forest

"Alright guys! Are you ready to go in?" G0Z asks while walking to the path. 

"Yeah" Doc and Albert say at the same time. 

G0Z smiles and starts walking "Come on!" 

Doc and Albert trail behind G0Z. "The forest is really nice" Doc speaks up.

"Haha! I know right!" G0Z chuckles.

Doc smiles and looks around and notices something. "Uh.. G0Z.."

G0Z turns and looks at Doc with a confused expression "Hmm?"

"Where is Albert?" Doc responds while motioning around them. 

G0Z's expression drops and he looks around. "uhhh"

"He couldn't have gone too far" Doc says while walking back the way they came. 

G0Z trails behind before Doc tells him "If we split up we can cover more ground.. lets just meet back up here in an hour" 

Doc and G0Z split up to begin looking for Albert.

Time Skip

Doc and G0Z have been looking for Albert for more than an hour, they can't find him. Doc starts heading back to the meet up point but while he is walking back he hears someone say his name.

H-huh?

Doc looks around but doesn't see anyone, "Who said that?"

There is no response so Doc decides to hurry out of there and meet up with G0Z. Doc starts walking back but he trips and falls down the hill into a pit. 

"ow!" Doc crys out. 

Doc stands up and leans onto the dirt wall while putting his hand to his face. When Doc regains his balance he starts looking around, ignoring the burning pain in his ankle. Doc shakes the dirt off of himself and calls out "Hey! Is anyone there?" 

No response

Doc tries to climb out of the pit but the pain in his ankle is too much. Doc sits down and goes to pull out his phone only to find that it isn't in his pocket.

Damn! Where did my phone go?

Doc looks around and sees his phone face down in the mud. Doc limps over there and picks it up and wipes it down. Doc messes with his phone trying to turn it on but it wont. Doc sighs and looks up again. Someone will come looking right?

Time Skip

It has been an hour and Doc is sitting in the pit dosing off when he hears someone walking. "Hey! Down here! Help me!" Doc yells. 

It goes silent for a minute and Doc feels hopeless but two people appear above him. "Doccy!" 

Doc looks up and sees G0Z and Albert. Doc breaks out in a smile "Get me out of here idiots" 

G0Z and Albert help Doc out of the pit and help Doc back to the Circus where G0Z would check out his ankle. 

"It looks alright Doccy.. Just a sprain," G0Z tells Doc, "Just take it easy for the next couple of days" 

Doc nods and thanks G0Z before heading home. Doc arrives at his house and he sit down to ice his ankle, as G0Z suggested. Doc texts G0Z and thanks him again for helping him before he heads to bed.

While laying in bed Doc can't help but think about who G0Z likes more as he seems to like both Albert and him the same amount.. but he has to like one more than the other..

I really hope it's me.
