Prologue:

I reached my hand over to Jamie's and placed it on top of his. Squeezing gently letting him now I was there. He didn't move or even flinch at my presence. I sat waiting for Jamie to say anything or even move all I could see was is chest heaving up and down trying to control his violent sobs from earlier. He slumped down further to the ground. I couldn't see if he had started crying again but he sniffled and placed his head on my shoulder. I tried to stroke his hair softly without moving myself.

"Its okay Jamie they'll be back...Melanie will be back." he interlocked his fingers with mine my tiny hand stretched to hold his. "I promise they'll be back safe and sound as usual."

He didn't seem as convinced. Another loud series of helicopter blades hovered above our secret hideout. This time I couldn't help but shrink down against the wall. Jamie put his arm around my waist and pulled me into his chest. It was a strange feeling probably the closest to actually feeling normal since the invasion. His hand left mine and pushed my caramel blonde hair out of my face.

"What Miss. Fearless is scared now?" he laughed holding my hand again. "We've been here for a while. We would have been found by now if we were going to be found at all." the helicopter circled above the caves for what seemed like hours. Somehow Jamie's words didn't seem assuring.
