There's something I want to ask you guys. The poll I have out right now is very difficult to choose since I have a four way tie. The next person that hasn't voted would be the one deciding which story I will put out next, so hurry if you haven't voted.


Joe P.O.V.

While everyone was having a nice conversation, I walked out to the balcony for some fresh air, even though I already had enough for the last few days.

The dark misty sky cleared up and the clouds return into the now sunny, bright morning. I never had this feeling before. I felt something made a hole inside of me, except I didn't know what.

"Joe are you thinking about something?" a voice said from behind. I turned around and saw my younger brother walking up to me. "Still thinking about Lily?"

Even though Nick wasn't the romantic brother, he knew more about this type of things than mom and dad, "hey bro."

He walked to me and put a hand on my back, "you're still thinking about her Joe?"

I turned back and leaned over to the side of the wooden rail. Nick did the exact same thing and we continued our little conversation.

"Yeah…I just can't keep thinking about her. Ever since I got back here, alone there's something I couldn't just quite understand."

Nick's face turned to a smirking smile. "Well, for sure I'm thinking you love her."

"I don't love her man," I said out loud, "I'm not even sure if that's even true." I've never exactly understood if it was true or not, but my heart was feeling it.

"Well just think about it Joe," he pulled out his finger and touch me where my heart was, "remember your heart will always tell you."

"I just can't quite understand it Nick," I exclaimed, "this is the first time I can't understood what happen." I turned to see my younger brother, whom I just asked for advice turned away and left.

As he left, his words replayed inside my head. Nick was usually right about this, but I felt something a little different. I took a look into the sky once more, until I realize that I haven't fulfilled my promise. I have to find Lily or something's going to happen.

I saw as he turned around one last time, "just remember you have to find out what are the reason things happen and only you can find that out."

While everyone was in the lounge I quietly walked out the back door. There was all except someone or a canine that followed me.

As I walked out the door in a quiet sound the dog still follow me. "Hey buddy you still want to come?"

Buddy wails its tail and got up on its two paws. "Ok then let's go."

We head out to fulfill what I wanted to be fulfilling what I am destined to do. I wanted to head back to the place we were walking from the cabin to the cave. The wind started blowing harder and harder. The temperature as it seemed was already below 0.

The only thing Nick ever said to me, that really had a purpose was when he said, "Joe, from the smallest to the biggest things that ever happen, everything single thing has a reason."

Everything has and will have a reason to it. I was just hoping I was making the right choice going out on my own with a dog. As I walked there, there was something that caught my sight. There was another cabin on the exact same way I was walking. I was just wishing that I would be able to have some peace, until Buddy kept on barking and barking, than running away from me forcing me to follow him.

I walked up to the cabin in hoping to find someone. There was no doorbell so I just knock. A taller man around his sixty or seventy looked at me. He stared at me for a while until I felt scared and he immediately looked at the dog.

"Hey come here Max," the man said, "the others are waiting inside for you."

Buddy or now as I say Max quickly ran into the cabin. "I'll never thought I would see him again. Thank you Joe."

"You know my name?" I uttered.

"Son, I might live in a solitary piece of land but I know what's going on, on the outside world." He said in a voice that reminded me of Robbie Ray, Miley's dad.

"Aren't you goin' to come in," he continued opening a hand to show his home. As he walked in I followed with him into a nice looking home full of dogs.

There were eight of them. I'm guessing he sled race. Max and the seven others came up to me and seem excited to meet a stranger. Still I just kept on thinking and staring at my fingers. Somehow they were turning a lighter black than it was this morning.

"Hey you got the black fingers," he said drinking. "Don't worry, that happens to me sometimes, they're not frostbite."

"Really?" I said in great excitement. "My fingers feel numb."

"Nothin' going to happen. Watch out your fingers is just hurt. They'll heal in one or two days."

Thank you God. I'm already starting to believe Nick, and luckily I didn't have to cut off my fingers, they were just too important. That would be really scary and not fun at all.

"Come on Maxim, let's go," the man wondered off, "there's still time."

"Where's are you guess going?" I curiously asked.

He face me standing while I was sitting, "we like to go for a little run before it's noon. The others just like to play and nap, while Max is energetic and a great runner. You wanna come?"

Since it was early I took a walk with him. I would have never known that this was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. Would this day just be over?


This is just a start out; the drama would be in the next chapter. I would update on Friday or Saturday.
