I've decided to ease my mind. And by that, I mean getting Jamie out of school so he can ease my mind. So what better way to do that then give him a snow day? Lots of snow, no school, and a whole day full with fun with my best friend.

And most likely Sophie.

And with Sophie, comes Hayley.

I smile, at the thought of the four of us pelting each other with snowballs, earning strange looks from any neighbors or pedestrians that might walk pass. Building snowmans. Making snow angels. And maybe after we're done, grabbing some hot chocolate. The perfect snowday.

Seeing it was almost dawn soon, I quickly got to work. Snow fell quickly from the sky, and I smiled widely. An hour later, there was about three inches of snow on the ground, and I figured that was enough. I sat on Jamie's roof, and grabbed my staff. I swiped it left, waiting for the snow to stop.

But that didn't go quite as expected. Frowning to myself, I tried again. And again. And again. Still, I failed. I stood up, alerted. There was now at least four and a half inches on the ground. With each passing second, more and more snow fell at a quicker pace. I gripped my wooden staff, and this time, I swiped it right.

But the snow didn't stop.

Instead, wind began to blow furiously.

I shielded my face as a pile of snow came my way. "Great," I mumbled.

The perfect snow day turned into a freak blizzard in less than two hours!

At this time, people were beggining to wake up, coming outside, leaving for work. I watched fearfully as they pulled their jackets tighter around their body, cleaning off their windshields to cars or even walking through this weather.

Throwing my head back and groaning, I flew down to Jamie's window, seeing him stare out of it at this storm I created. I tapped it, and he opened it. But with the wind and his lack of muscle, he struggled, so I had to help him. Once I slid through, we both raced to close it. Both of us were gasping when it was closed. And I collapsed in his bed out of exhaustion.

"Why did you make a blizzard, Jack?" Jamie spoke up.

I sat up, looking at him. "I didn't mean to. I had meant to give you a few inches so you wouldn't go to school, but instead, I've somehow created a terrible blizzard and can't stop it."

Jamie rolled his eyes, walking out of the room. After a few seconds, I followed him. He was downstairs sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV. I saw Sophie sitting at the kitchen table drinking a mug of hot chocolate, while her mother made breakfast.

She hummed quietly, swinging her feet back and forth since they didn't quite touch the ground. She had hot chocolate all over her face, and her eyes lit up when she saw me.

"Jack!"

Her mother turned around, confused, and I pressed a finger to my mouth, telling Sophie to keep quiet. "What sweetheart?"

Sophie giggled silently, and stirred her hot chocolate. "Nothing, Mommy."

I smiled, walking towards Jamie realizing he was watching the news. I grimaced, seeing what a mess I had caused. "What are they saying?"

"This might be one of the worst blizzards in the last decade." Jamie sighed.

I threw my head back. "This is all my fault."

"Yeah. Not going to argue with that one."

I froze when I heard something interesting. "Higher the volume," I mumbled, and Jamie did as told.

"A dozen people are stuck in a small and old building during this blizzard. The building is falling apart due to wind and the snow. Sources say there are at least five dead. Witnesses say they saw these people run into this abandoned building for shelter, but the structure of it is just not strong enough. Workers are doing everything they can to save these people, but, unfortunately with this weather, this is not much to do. This is Susan Michael-"

All of a sudden the screen went black. Me and Jamie both looked up, seeing his mom with the remote pointing at the TV. "Mom!" Jamie whined.

"You don't need to be watching this. Go take a shower or something." She walked back into the kitchen.

"Sorry," Jamie apologized.

"Its fine. I have to go to that building anyway." I stood up, grabbing my staff.

"Why? Its dangerous out there."

"Well, I have to try to stop that storm, before more people die, Jamie. Plus, I have a feeling I know where Hayley is."

. . .

Firetrucks, ambulance, and police cars are surrounding the sight. Police tape distances the public from the breaking building, but I pass right through, trying to find an opening. Its not easy, considering the wind is blowing snow everywhere.

Even though I know or won't work, I swipe my staff left, but nothing happens. I growl, but find an opening and try to squeeze through it. But I can't fit. Only my hand makes it through, and I try to push one board to the side to get access. Just as I'm about to give up, I feel a warm hand grab my own, pulling me in. They help me push the board enough to get in, but as soon as I'm in, it falls back into its place.

Its dark in the building, even though its morning.

I look down, seeing my hand still connected to another. I follow my eyes to the body connected to the hand, and my eyes meet the familiar gray ones.

Hayley.

(A/N) Done!

I apologize for not updating at all this past month. Truth is, after my birthday, which was terrible, I've lost inspiration to write. So I am so, so sorry for not posting a new chapter.

And because of that, I will be posting the next chapter later on today, so watch out for that.

And, oh! School started a few weeks ago, so I will rarely update within the weekdays, but I promise at least one chapter every weekend. If I don't update during the weekend, you can kill me.

BTW, the building their in right now is not Hayley's 'house'. Think of it as an old corner store or something.

So, favorite/follow this story, and review! I love hearing what you have to say.

Be sure to join the contest! Rules are in authors note in the first chapter. I think this is the fourth chapter, but the I will pick the winner sometime after the fifth chapter, and will announce the winner in either the sixth or seventh chapter. :)

Until later on today,
