We walked for what seemed like hours.

The road in front of us became a white sheet.

Riley started shivering so we stopped to try to make a fire.

After about twenty minutes of trying to find firewood, we gave up and I gave Ginger my jacket to put Riley in.

Ginger's nose and cheeks were bright red from the bitter cold. My toes and fingers felt numb.

Gunshots rang.

"How the fuck-?" I started.

Ginger covered my mouth and dragged me into a nearby building.

The little spat wore on for about a half an hour.

The gunfire ceased and I peeked outside our shelter.

"Clear, we can go." I reported. Ginger kissed Riley's head and stood up.

We started walking again.

A snowy hill, that used to be a rode for cars, stretched in front of us.

A color appeared at the top of the hill.

Another color appeared next to it.

That's when I realized those colors were winter hats.

I stopped Ginger.

We turned and started running.

I looked over my shoulder.

It was a group of eight.

One of them looked like he was being held at gunpoint.

I slowed down and caught Ginger's wrist.

"What are you doing, Piper? We have to run!"

"That's my group, Ginger!" I shouted back at her as I ran towards them.

Julio's face appeared and he ran towards me to meet me halfway.

The distance between us was about to close when a gunshot was heard. We stopped dead in our tracks.

I looked around to see who was shot.

Everyone looked at me in fear.

I looked down to see blood running from my hip down my leg.

I tried to take a step forward and collapsed on my side.

Even through my hazy vision I could see a man covered in blood, probably injured, sitting in the alley to my left. Holding up a gun.

I felt a jacket wrap around me. I heard yelling but I couldn't make out words.

Another gunshot and the man in the alley slumped over.

I heard panicked voices and Riley's whimper and arguments.

All I could feel was the numbing pain in my side and the freezing snow.

I became aware that I was being held.

I made out Julio's face in the blur and smiled.

He smiled back and held my hand.

He pushed a piece of hair of my face.

"I missed you." He whispered.

I squeezed his hand a little.

"I missed you too." I whispered back.

He kissed my forehead as I fell asleep.

HEY DERE SADIE HERE AND AHHHHHHHH

DOUBLE UPDATEEEEEE

oh and also Jay got shot, but we'll get into that

BEHIND THE SCREEN FUN FACT:

Funny story, actually.

Originally, Julio was supposed to get shot and die and Jay was supposed to get pissed but I couldn't think of another good love interest so I did this instead :D

You're welcome!

So, anyways, Jay was shot.

That's a thing.

Idk how I felt about it, I feel like I could've written it better :/
