Anyways after we had finished everything I started writing a new Falling Skies fanfic for my friends and completely forgot about this one. Sorry :( So here is chapter 3 hope you like it :)
Jimmy stared at her before looking at the ground and smiling until Maggie called everyone.
"Okay I know we were here yesterday but we didn't have much time to search all of the shops and houses so I think we should look here before going anywhere else." She said.
"She's right." Tom told them. "We should split up here so we can cover more ground. Everyone meet back here at 09:00 understood?" They all nodded and went their separate ways.
After everyone was gone Jimmy walked to every dead Skitter and started pulling the arrows out. The girl then climbed down from the tree she was in and joined him. She pulled off the cloth covering her face and smiled at him when he gave her the arrows. She started cleaning them before putting them back in her quiver and stared at the ground.
"Hi." Jimmy said his voice shaking a little. The girl just looked up at him and smiled. "I just wanted to say thanks for...saving me." He told her smiling shyly.
She just smiled at the ground and nodded.
"You don't talk much do you?" He asked her.
She shrugged and looked into his crystal blue eyes.
"My name's Jimmy." He told her, offering his hand.
She took his hand and shook it before clearing her throat.
"Jessica." She whispered.
"She speaks!" Jimmy yelled making her giggle.
She was about to say something when they heard the humming of a Mech coming their way. Jessica grabbed his hand and started running. They ran for a while before they turned a corner and were faced with a door. She opened it quickly stepping inside and pulling him in with her. Once the door closed behind them she leaned back against it and slid down to a sitting position. Jimmy followed sitting next to her as he looked around them, his eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness. They sat in a dark room for a while catching their breaths after their run. Jimmy was never a sports person but he did play soccer in school. He could run for hours while they played without getting tired but if you asked him to run 10 minutes to warm up he would get tired almost instantly. They sat there a few minutes still holding each others hand and trying to breathe normally. She then rested her head on his shoulder making his heart beat faster. He looked at her while blushing and was happy she couldn't see it because her eyes were closed. He couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he enjoyed the moment they were having. To his disappointment it ended far to soon as she stood up pulling him with her and started walking towards a door that was a few feet away. Jessica knocked three times before stepping inside. It was a small room and there weren't any lights inside. Darkness surrounded them and Jimmy felt uncomfortable. He tighten his grip on Jessica's hand and she squeezed it gently trying to comfort him. The lights then turned on in a flash and a little girl stood in front of them with a bow up, pointing in their direction. Jessica acted fast and pulled Jimmy against her as the other girl let go of the string and an arrow came flying off ,hitting the concrete wall that was behind him. A sigh of relief escaped Jessica's lips as Jimmy lifted his head from the crook of her neck and wrapped his arms around her waist. He hugged her tightly and she wrapped her arms around his neck returning it. She was happy he was okay.
"What was that?!" She yelled at the girl in front of them. "You could have shot one of us!" She yelled again and the girl winced.
"S...Sorry...I thought you were...one of the crawlies..." She answered stuttering and Jessica shook her head as she let go of Jimmy.
"Kels I've told you, you need to hide over there..." She said pointing at the corner. "And if they get really close to you, then you shoot them. Don't stand in front of the door." She said sighing.
"Sorry." The little girl said looking at the ground.
"It's fine just, be careful next time okay?" She said and the girl nodded. "I just want you to be safe." She told her softly as she hugged her small frame and the little one nodded once again.
They let go of each other and turned to Jimmy.
"Umm...Jimmy this is Kelsey, she's my little sister." Jessica said motioning to the little girl next to her and then turned to her. "Kels this is Jimmy, he's a friend." She told her.
Kelsey then took a step forward and offered her small hand to him. He slowly took it and shook it.
"Hi." Kelsey said with a huge smile. "Sorry for almost shooting you before." She said blushing.
"It's okay, no harm no foul." He answered with a small smile.
Kelsey got happy and exited and started asking him questions.
"How old are you?" She asked.
"13." Jimmy answered.
"Where are you from?" She asked again.
"Boston." He answered her.
"Where are you staying?" She asked.
"In a high school with the 2nd Mass." He answered.
"What's the 2nd Mass?" She asked.
"It's an...umm resistance group." He responded.
"What's that gun?" Kelsey asked as she pointed at his gun and Jessica stepped forward.
"Ok well I have to go check if there are any aliens roaming around. You okay staying here with her?" Jessica asked him.
"Can I um... come with you?" He asked her.
He was getting uncomfortable with all the questions the little girl was asking him. She snorted clearly noticing his discomfort but nodded anyways.
"Alright Kels, we will be back in a few ok." She told Kelsey as she kissed the top of her head.
"Sure go run off with your boyfriend." She said rolling her eyes.
"He's not my boyfriend, munchkin." Jessica answered, turning around and grabbing her bow.
"Well you always talk about him! Plus you keep telling me how dreamy and tough he looks and how..."
"Shut it!" Jessica yelled and Jimmy snorted.
"You know what. I think I'm going to stay here and have a little chat with your sister." He told her with a smirk.
"Shut up." She said rolling her eyes and grabbing his arm as she walked out of the room.
They both stepped outside and the mood turned serious. Jessica put the cloth back on her face and took an arrow out of her quiver, setting in on her bow, getting ready to fire. Jimmy clutches the gun to his chest and looked around the place. There weren't signs of the aliens around so they were about to head back inside before the sound of breaking glass caught their attention.
