It's 4 pm and after a long exhausting day at school you ride your bike off to set. It was winter and instead of beautiful snow, it was raining. The raindrops where so cold your face starts burning after every rain drop landing on your cheeks. And to make things worse, the road is loaded with ice. You have fallen of your bike multiple times since it won't stop slipping away.

You where crying and exhausted and you knew it was still going to be atleast 20 more minutes. Your motivation was gone so you stopped. You stepped of your bike and just cried out of exhaustion and pain from the cold hitting your sensitive skin and the bruises forming from falling on the hard ground.

—————————————————————

"Do you know where she is? She was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago"
"I have no idea. It's strange. She would've let me know know if she was running late.
"I'm starting to worry, have you heard anything from her parents?"
"No. From what I know, her parents arnt really in contact with y/n"
"I've called her 18 times already. She's not picking up"
"I'm starting to get worried" Florence says sadly.
There is a silence
"I'm going to call her again." The director says.

—————————————————————

You are sitting at the side of the road freezing when you feel a vibration. It's your phone.
You try ignoring the pain in your hands and grab it seeing that Florence and the director have both called you a lot of times. You try picking up the phone but before your hands start working like you want them to, the call is already ended.

You decide trying to call Florence. It takes you a minute put you finally press the call button

—————————————————————

"Alright she's not picking up. If she's not letting know she's okay I'm going to get the police involved"
"I agree. This is freaking me out. Do we know if she-"
Florence stops her sentence when her phone starts ringing. She picks up the phone after seeing your caller ID

"Y/n? Where are you? I'm worried sick I though-"
"F-flo." You cry out in pain.
"Y/n what's going on? Where are you?"
"O-on the st-reet" you say shaking and crying.
"Send me your location okay?"
"I c-can't"
"Why not y/n?"
"I don't- I" you stop your sentence losing control of your body
"Y/n? Y/N ARE YOU THERE?"
"Shit" Florence mumbles after getting no response.

She hangs up the phone
"We need to search for her right now or she's going to freeze to death"
"What? She's outside?!"
"Yes, let's go!" Florence says with a ordering tone.

4 cars from people from the set are looking for you right now. But after 1,5 hours they still have no succes.

Florence's phone starts ringing again, but this time it's not your name. She doesn't want to pick up. She's crying her eyes out and the director is trying to comfort her but with no succes.
"You should pick up" the director tells her
Florence shakes her head in tears.
"Can I?" She asks
Florence nods not getting any words out.

"Hello this is New Yorks hospital, is this Florence pugh speaking?"

—————————————————————

A few minutes after the phone call with Flo ended, you payed your freezing body down and passed out from cold.

You wake up in a white room with doctors monitoring your vitals.
"Welcome back. How are you?"
"I-it's cold" you stutter
She smiles at you
"You where laying on the ice with ice cold water on you for atleast 1 hour until someone found you. I think you are going to be cold for a while"
"Oh yeah I remember that."
"We tried contacting your parents but we couldn't get a hold of them. Is there anyone else we can call?"
"S-sure. Wait where is my phone?"
You look around confused
"I'm sorry, it was broken when we got there"
"Can I call someone on your phone?"
"Yeah, here. Dial the number"
You type in Florence's number and hand it back. She starts calling.

—————————————————————

"Hello this is New Yorks hospital, is this Florence pugh speaking?"
"Uhm. Hang on"

There is a silence
"Florence they want you. It's the hospital"
Florence looks up and grabs the phone

"H-hello?"
"F-Florence? Is that you?"
"Y/n! Are you okay? Where are you?"
"I'm at the hospital. Someone found me on the side of the road apparently"
"God y/n. We've had 4 cars looking for you for the past hour"
"I'm sorry"
"I'm on my way okay? Stay where you are"
"I'm in the hospital Flo. I'm not supposed to go anywhere"
"Right just-. I'm coming"

————————————————————

Florence storms into your room to you sleeping with doctor still monitoring you.

"You are Florence?" She asks
"Yes I am"
"She was found on the streets wet from the ice cold rain laying on ice. It must have taken atleast one hour before someone found her. She's very lucky she's okay"
"Thank you so much for saving her"
"We found a lot of bruising, she must have falling over or something. She'll need to stay her for around 3 days."
Florence nods and sits down next to you holding you hand
"God you're freezing" she whispers
"If anything weird happens, you click this button" she says holding up a red button attached to your bed.

3 hours later.
You slowly open your eyes seeing Florence watching you closely.
"Hey" you say
"Hey" Florence chuckles
"I'm sorry for scaring you flo" you say
"It's alright baby. Just know I'm not letting you ride your bike to school ever again tho"
You laugh at her
"I think I can live with that"
"God you had me worried sick"
You smile
"Atleast I now know you really care about me, do any of my parents know?"
"Yes. They do" Florence says
"I guess they didn't care did they?"
Florence sighs with empathy
"I'm sorry baby"
"It's alright."
"It's very cold these days isn't it?" She changes the subject
"Ya think? So this is Christmas ?"
Florence laughs
"I gues it is. Oh, since it is almost Christmas, you didn't know but your spending it with me"
"Florence you don't-"
"I wasn't asking"
You sigh
"Thank you flo. I love you"

"I love you" Florence responds
