"John I'm not going to sleep until you trade me places."
John finally rolled over and looked at Jocelyn, The brown headed girl was very annoying and hard headed as they come. But as the young women smiled he felt that she may have been more grown up than he first thought.
"You have to sleep."
He smiled Inwardly as the young women hugged herself and pouted.

I smiled when John finally got up but not for what I thought, he grabbed the first aid kit and pushed me back on the sleeping bag.
"We don't have anything to numb you." I nodded and closed my eyes though I soon opened them feeling something against my mouth. John had his forearm to my mouth as I looked up at him confused. "Bite it." He had a look on his face that was in all seriousness but it shock my head no and he chuckled before pouring a drop on my hip, my eyes bulged out of my head as he pushed his forearm harder against my mouth. "Bite down." I breathed in and nodded before biting down a little harder with my scream as he poured the substance all over my hip. My world was spinning around me when I finally let go of Johns arm, looking at him patting my hip dry along with the sleeping back I grabbed his arm and took a hand over my face.
"You're not sleeping on a log, I'm not fat you can sleep in the sleeping bag with me and don't tell me no." Raising up, I grinned at John and watched him. His brow lowered in what looked like a frustrated expression almost as though he was in a deep thought.
"John, we are stranded in the middle of the woods with no one around, or at least I think anyway it's not like my dads going to come and scold us." He chuckled at this as I smiled and started to unzip the queen sized sleeping bag. I had no idea that they even made different sized sleeping bags but I guessed that they could for couples and this slowly made more sense to me of why he would have such a big one. Sliding in beside John, I zipped it back up and rolled onto my good side looking at John that was already drifting into sleep.
"John, are you married?" He opened one eye nodding, I wondered on this for what felt like hours. Dose she know that I'm going to have to be basically glued to him for a year? What dose she think about it? Do they have any little Cena's? It went on forever until I feel asleep in my thoughts.

Opening my sore eyes I flinched at the dim morning light and the high squawking of birds. I groaned, locking my hands above my head and stretching soon looking around and sighed at John beside me. He was on his side still, it looked as if he hadn't moved all night unlike me, that went to sleep on my side and now lay on my back kind of sideways with one legs stretched over Johns. The fire was still going but very dull and the sleeping bag had a very small amount of snow covering it. Looking down at my stomach, I ran my fingers over the stitches on my hip it still hurt but as I rose up and unzipped the sleeping bag the cold air hit it I smiled.
Looking at John once more, I threw more wood into the fire and sat down. "Today is your lucky day John you get to sleep in." I sat in font of the now steady fire messing with my Iphone and got a idea. Sneaking over to John, I took a picture of him and giggled. He looked so peaceful I don't think that I had ever seen a expression like this on this on his face before and it almost put me a peace myself enough that I laid down beside him and drifted to sleep again.

Upon opening my eyes for the second time, I looked over and seen John must have been up finally.
"Morning sleepy head." I followed the voice it didn't sound like John, I blinked up at a tall pale and skinny with black hair. I panicked as I rose up slowly, looking around for John I seen no sign of him not even foot marks. I winced when the unknown man grabbed my hair and yanked me out of the sleeping bag. I didn't see any weapons on the man but I didn't take a chance and let my anger show.
"Are you looking for your boyfriend?" I looked at him confused. Laughing a little on the inside, this man thought John was my boyfriend? I don't look that much older do I? I shock my head no as he forced me to sit down on a rock beside the fire. I stared at the fire, trying to figure out a plan. I could always wait until John suddenly showed up again, I mean who could control a man that was his size for long, or I could wait till this thug went to pee or something and shoot him in the back. That would mean though if there is more, that John could be trouble if they hear the shot, or they would come for me and what if I don't have enough bullets? On the other hand what the fuck was I really and why had we went this way if it was this dangerous.
"Ah, you look troubled. Shall I fix that for you?" I raised my eyebrow at the tall man that had now the point of a knife at my chin making me look up at him. I smirked and calmly said "No thank you." now I would expect him to force himself on me but I didn't expect to get back handed shortly before I started to hear twigs breaking and a heavy breathing. The tall man looked from me to the woods and walked in front of me facing the woods. I was angry as I slowly stood up and pulled the gun from the side of my waist and aimed at the tall man.
"Ah, I think I see your boyfri- booomm" I closed my eyes as the gun went off and I heard a form hit the floor of the woods. The sound got closer but I froze when a hand over closed against my mouth and a knife was pushed to my throat. "Listen you make a noise or try to escape and I will kill you where you stand." I sighed and blinked a couple times, it was a women this time and I liked to have slapped myself as I dropped my hands and John appeared looking very angry.
"TAKE ONE MORE STEP AND SHE DIES!" I seen John stop very slowly and put his hands up. Getting more angry by the minute I gently grabbed her arm and pried the knife back before grabbing the bend of her knee with my other. All this was because of Johns wink I walked around the girl now on the ground trying to get air back in her lungs. I pointed the gun as she cried for me not too.
"How do you like the feeling of your life hanging in the balance? Not knowing weather the other person has enough human to not take your life? Do you like the feeling you gave me?" She shock her violently as John checked to make sure that the man I had shoot was dead and came over to me gripping my shoulder. I wanted to kill her but in all honestly I didn't know if I could, my hands shook from shock already shooting one person. Though looking at her and hearing more coming from the woods I closed my eyes and flinched at the sound of another human taking their last breath. I dropped my aim placing a hand over my hip. It was hurting more forcefully than before and as I looked down I seen why. My stitches had torn a little and dips of blood was hit the top trim of my pants.
"Start getting this stuff together and put out the fire." I nodded at john as he sighed at my hip before going back into the woods. "You did good kid." I turned at the whisper and seen John turning and going into the woods. Though I knew I had done good and probably saved my life I couldn't shack the feeling that I had killed someone, that I could take someone life and not think twice while doing it. I knew I wasn't a bad person but as I put the fire out with snow I couldn't help but think that I could have just held back and scared the guy not killed him.
-x-x-x-x-x-
"Look don't think you done anything wrong Jocelyn, Because you didn't." I sighed as we walked again and nodded. I knew it wasn't wrong , I was protecting John and myself but it was scary. I held my hip walking slightly behind John and pulled out a cigarette out of my pocket. I needed something about now, John was sure that it would take us at least three days to get to even a small town and it was only the second day. "Do you have children John?" It was a simple question that I couldn't keep off my mind as he shock his head no and I nodded understanding. Was I really starting to even like this man as a friend? He was probably the stuck up workaholics like my father, yet I shot a man because I was scared for him? Could I like him? No, he was still a dick for going off about putting my feet up in a car that he was going to wreck anyway. I giggled thinking about it and threw my finished cigarette down as we walked.
"As far as I am concerned I'm not married anymore anyway." I looked at John in confusion, he had just told me last night that he was married! He wasn't going to stop though even as I pulled the back of his shirt asking him what he meant so I sped up and jumped in front of him. How could he say he was married last night and then bam throw a bomb like that at me now? "You told me last night that you was married, what are you waiting for a divorce or something?!" He sighed nodding and I bit the side of my lip in understanding. Looking at the tall think man I had a sting of pain go threw me , He looked beat down and almost like he had a hard life now he was getting a divorce and those are the most hard thing in a relationship. I really wanted to say something to make him forget about it but as we walked I couldn't keep my mind off of it either.
How was someone to get the awkward to go away when someone tell information like that? I didn't know as I blanked and followed John with half concentration. "Do you want to talk about it?" I wasn't expecting nothing besides a head shake but when he sighed I frowned and tried to warm my face. It was getting darker minute by minute and colder as I rubbed my arm and tried not to giggle when I seen John slightly shiver for a second. "Lets stop here tonight kid." I sighed following and rolling my eyes at the kid. Hell I was almost eighteen in two months! Rolling out the sleeping bag I handed John the flash light as he went for wood and water, sitting I tried to not stare as he walked away. What was wrong with me? I needed to stay out of his private life, but how was I supposed to do that when we was stranded in snow filled woods with only him? I growled out and pulled up my shirt to examine my hip and to my dismay it looked dirty and red.
"I'll clean it again before you go to sleep." I nodded at John that worked on the fire and slowly made my way into the sleeping bag, I was tired but more cold than anything as I smiled when the red glow of fire hit me.
Why is this man taking all this and not worried at the least? It doesn't make sense, he is so calm almost like a robot. I really need to be locked up with a major criminal maybe my bad luck would be good for them, I mean it's better than my bad luck getting to John. He doesn't deserve this … He has been nothing but nice yet I was a child and put him in this mess. He's also way to hot to be in this mess with me .. Wait no! He's not hot … Oh who am I kidding? He is fucking yummy! His wife or ex should be ashamed of herself , If I got a hold of someone that looked like him oh god. Stop it Maria! This man is way older than you just stop!
"You okay kid?" I quickly looked up at John and innocently smiled nodding. It was then that I realized I had a crush on John Cena and I could kill my mother. My checks turned red as John unzipped the sleeping bag and instructed me to stay down while he pulled my shirt up a tiny bit and I closed my eyes as his fingers grazed my warm skin. Fuck mother, It was official when I got back home she was going to hear it. I tried to think about other things than Johns forearm in my mouth as he poured pure alcohol on the open wound. Releasing his arm I bit my lip inside as he moved the alcohol around to get the dirt off and finally opened my eyes to look at him. "John. .. Could you stop calling me kid? I'm almost eighteen." He chuckled nodding and I smiled.
Maybe this wont be the death of me or him. I smiled as he patted it dry and pulled my shirt back down before getting in behind me. "At least you realize I'm not going to let you freeze Mr, Gangster." We both laughed as I shifted to get comfy and settled on my side to his back as I drifted to sleep.
