Sorry I haven't updated. Enjoy this chapter!

Jessica was in her wheelchair, rolling through the forest. Rescue was running by her side. Jessica took in the cold, freezing air and gave a sharp breath through her nose, welcoming the feeling of the cold air As it pierced through her lungs. It felt incredible. You couldn't feel this kind if thing in New York. Not as much as you could in Jasper anyways. She laughed and slowed the wheelchair, and stopped. She looked around, taking in the beautiful scenery that surrounded her and Rescue. "I hear something" she muttered, partially to herself and partially to Rescue. Rescue gave a small bark in respond. "Help..." a quiet and week muffled voice called from under the snow not far away. "Rescue! Search!" she ordered her dog, and Rescue took off. Jessica followed in close behind. The cries for help grew louder and louder as they went deeper into the forest.

Soon enough, they reached a point where the Helps were louder than before. "Rescue. Find" she ordered. Rescue took off to a small pile of ice chunks and snow. "Avalanche.." Jessica muttered and rolled closer. As she neared, she ran her pale fingers along the cold pieces of ice and snow that piled on top of each other. "Get them out, Rescue" she said. Rescue began to furiously dig into the piles of cold material and the cries grew loud but were still weak. Jessica reached best as she could, which was not very far since she was in a wheelchair, and luckily felt cold fingers brush hers. She grabbed hold of the hand and pulled the person out. She groaned as she saw who it was.

Chris.

Jessica frowned. "Can't you get out of my life??" Jessica said in exasperation. Chris gave a small, weak smirk. "Hey. You uh.. S-saved me.." he stuttered. She nodded "Ya. Now leave my life." she said. "Wait" Chris said. "Let me repay you." and he ran up and looked down at Jessica's blue eyes. Jessica looked up at his own eyes and was hypnotized for a moment but soon snapped out of it "how?" she questioned with curiousity and doubt. "I could help you back up to your house" he suggested. She hesitated. "Alright" she said. Rescue gave a smal snarl but Jessica shook her head. "Rescue, he's cool." She said.

Chris rolled her back up to the house. Jessica felt cold fingers brush her neck. Chris's fingers. "Your freezing" she comment and looked at him. He shook his Head. "No I'm fine" he said "no your not. Your coming with me" she said and grabbed his hand and rolled inside.

As they went in, Jessica rolled to her room and sat Chris down. "Cover up and try to sleep." She ordered the handsome blonde haired boy. Chris smirked. "I feel bad for hurting you now.." he muttered, looking at her leg braces and wheelchair. "You didn't before..?" Jessica retorted. He smiled. "Sharp attitude... I find that extremely hot..." he said. Jessica gave a small frown and turned to her computer.

That night, Jessica slept in the foldout couch. Rescue was with her as usual. There were footsteps. Jessica woke up, looking at who it was. Chris. He sat on the bed. "I just wanted to thank you for your kindness.. Even after I was so.. Cruel" he whispered, so he wouldn't wake her parents. She shrugged. "Its fine" she said. Chris turned to leave. "Wait" She said. He stopped. "What?"

"Your welcome"

"Oh"

A pause.

"Can I sleep here with you?" Chris said.

Jessica hesitated the nodded. "Go ahead" she said.
Chris crawled into bed and snuggled next to her, wrapping his arms around her. Jessica relaxed in the warm embrace of her new-found friend and soon fell asleep, with Rescue snuggling close to them.
