Finding Peace
Mitchell is talking to Jay
when they run into a crying Yuliya
"Ma'am are you lost too? Mitchell says
the woman looks sad walking past them to sit on the curb.
Mitchell looks at Jay confused
Jay looks admiringly at her
Mitchell notices and says,.
Mitchell:" Hey I'll see you around , man."
Jay: "Same". Jay replies lifting a hand.

the woman watches the cars go by near the sidewalk.
Jay staring watching her and the cars then
looking down finally says...


Jay:".. i can help you but we have to stick together. pauses
There's a cave and a restruarant just around the mountain hill we'll have to search to find money buut..."

Yuliya: i don't want any help

Jay: it's not safe here you know
looking up at the sky he puts his cig in his mouth.

Yuliya: thank you but no. she wipes a tear.

Jay: Well we'll just stay here, i guess.

he sits on the curb just a few inches from her looking at her for the third time almost in awe.

Yuliya: is there a reason why you keep watching me?

Jay:"just impressed is all."

Yuliya: Of what?

Jay: just wondering how someone soo beautiful got stranded here.

she just looks at him.


An hour goes by and it's nearly evening time around 5ish and it's cold the woman is shaking vigorously.

Jay puts his jacket around her. "Now, would be a good time".he says. She finally gets up and he leads her to an cave sitting just above the highway. He lights an fire with some leftover twigs, logs and rocks. Him and Mitchell had found. I wouldn't eat that if I were you. Yuliya puts down the poisonous berries hanging over the rock.

'Thank you" she says quietly.

They sit near the fire in silence then Yuliya puts her head on his shoulder.
A little atooken back Jay smiles playfully laying back on hers.


"My name is Yuliya." she finally says.

"Yuliya , he nods with his forelip out. Nice name, nice to meet you too , I'm Jay."

She looks up at him into his eyes." You're quite the attraction yourself." he leans in for a kiss and their lips meet then they pull away and meet again they do it 5 times before they let their mouths dance along.

A few weeks later Yuliya is happy & pregnant


Jay with his unlit cig in his mouth holds up a 20 dollar bill he had found. Yuliya smiles.

in the next scene they're holding hands walking up the hill to a restruarant. Then inside while people whisper Jay proudly and playfully rubs feeds and kisses Yuliya. Sharing the one meal they can afford there.

Yuliya gives birth; sadly but ready; they give up they're babygirl because they can't afford to keep her right now.
