A Quick Visit

[Alex Hunter]

“I’ll have a Pepsi… if you got one.” Alex rolled onto his side and after a few moments pass, he sat upright again. He was already beginning to feel better, but sweat still damped his hair and face, and he could still feel his heart beating rapidly within his chest.

“I was at the party,” he told her, going back to her previous question. “I was the last one to be dug out from the avalanche. I don’t know who pulled me out, but who-ever it was I’m sure thankful for.” He took the pop once it was offered, opened it with a flick of his finger and took a long, deep drink. When he was finished, he crushed the can within his palm and smiled. “Thanks, I feel better already.”

[Valentina DeFranchesco]

Valentina nodded then got up and after rummaging around, emerged from her closet with a pepsi and a ginger ale for herself. Usually Val wasn't such a big fan of pop, but seeing as there was probably alreay a shortage on food and drinks, it would do for the time being. The girl sipped from her drink as she listened to hm explain about how he was the last one dug out. "Yeah, that was pretty dangerous...Good thing no onw was seriously hurt." She commented, again looking down at her headled side, still half expecting there to be a big gash.

Val sat next to the boy on her queen sized bed and stared into space momentarily before adding "It'll blow over eventually though...I'm not personally too worried about it, but everyone else is probably freaking out right about now." With a shrug she let the liquid slide down her throat and distractedly ran her fingers through her hair. "What do you make of this whole thing?"
