I wake up the next morning and no one is awake but me. I stare blankly at the wall, my mind traveling off to what it would be like right now if the bombs never dropped, how everything would be fine and I would be arguing with Lily one minute and we'd be watching terrible movies the next. I feel movement next to me, Chase touching my hand and squeezing it.

"Lie back down," I stare at him as he pulls on my hand. I sigh and lie back down slowly, Chase wrapping his arms around my body, nuzzling his head into my back.

"Chase," he hums, moving his head to my neck and peppering small kisses. "What if we're separated?"

"We can tell them we don't want to be separated." I turn and look at him, his eyes fluttering open and looking at me. "We're family now, Olive. Nothing can change that." I hum, spacing out and staring past him to the leather of the seat. "Hey," I look at him. "Can I kiss you?"

"W-What?" I stammer, my face growing red and hot as his eyes sparkle. I don't know how they can sparkle.

"Can I kiss you?" He holds my hands, I blush more and slowly nod. He softly smiles, kissing me gently. I wrap my arms around his neck as he holds my waist, my fingers tangling with the hair at the nape of his neck, his hands traveling my body and reaching up my shirt, then holding me closer at my waist and pulling me into his bare chest.

"Get a room!" I blush more as we abruptly pull away, August andJune laughing as Nathan is left speechless, a curves cursed smile on his lips. He chuckles, falling over on his back and laughing with the twins as I hold my hands to my face to try to hold my blush.

"Chase and Olive sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love then comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" The twins chant on repeat as my face grows hotter. Then continue to laugh, stopping when someone bangs on the door of the van.

"Help!" They scream. Nathan gets up quickly and yanks the door open, pulling the person in and slamming the door closed as they sit on the ground, their hand on their chest as they heave for air. "Thank you so much."

–/\–/\–/\–/\–

I stare at the stranger as they sit still on the floor of the van, the twins fast back asleep while me, Nathan and Chase stare at them as they hold their knees to their chest, their head tucked into their knees. "What's your name?" Chase asks, holding me closer as she lifts her head, one of her eyes a clear blue while the other has a scar over it, making her left eye grey.

"Asha, Asha Duncan." Her short black hair in ratted stands around her face. She holds her hands in fists. I move to the floor as she looks at me, slowly moving away. "W-What're you do-" I grab her hands and pull them from their fist form, studying her blue fingers.

"You have hypothermia. We have to get you warm." I turn to my bag under the bed, grabbing one of my sweaters and handing it to her then grabbing a few blankets and wrapping them around her and sitting cross from her as she tries to hide the scar with her hair. "What happened to your eye?"

"I-I-I don't want to talk about it." She looks into her lap, then up at Chase and Nathan as I take a kettle and put in water, putting it on the flat oven and let it boil. "Why are you staring at me?"

No one answers until I do. "It's just been us out here for a really long time, so it's a surprise other people are alive." The kettle whistles moments later. I take the kettle off the flat oven and turn it off, grabbing a mug and pouring the water into the mug, putting a tea bag into the mug and handing it to Asha. She hesitantly takes it from me, holding it in her hands as they slowly turn from a frosted blue to a normal skin color, in her case a soft chestnut color.

"What're your names?" She asks, taking a sip of the tea as I sit back down next to Chase, him wrapping his arms around my waist and digging his nose into the crook of my neck.

"I'm Olive," I sigh as Chase digs his face further into my back.

"I'm Nathan," Nathan laughs, "and that baby over there is Chase."

"I'm not a baby." Chase grumbles, holding my waist tighter and pulling me into his chest.

Asha softly smiles, taking another drink of her tea then looking at the twins. "Who are they?"

"June and August." Nathan says as he pulls himself up and sits next to her. "June doesn't talk much." Asha hums, holding the mug in her hands as we fall into a silence. Chase holds me closer, peppering small kisses onto my back as the silence goes on. They're silent, but loud enough for Nathan to start laughing at the blush covering my cheeks. "Dude! You're so red!" He laughs loudly as I hold my hands to my face, squealing as Chase leaves more kisses on my back.

"I think it's sweet," I look up from my hands at Asha as she stares into her mug. "How he can show he loves her without being afraid."

"More like being a dick." I mumble as Asha rolls her eyes, then twins waking up and staring at Asha.
