Chapter Four

❉Part Two❉

An hour or so and a few beers later we were all a little tipsy. Some how between all that I convinced Nick to move to where the others where. So here we are now; Carly was moving the fire a bit, Paige and Blake where off to the side, Dalton was filming everyone with his camera, Nick and I were in our own little world just making out.

We were brought back to reality when Blake sprayed Dalton's camera with beer. "Come on, man" He cleaned his camera and then proceeded to film Carly. "Hey, pretty Carly." It was pretty obvious that Dalton had a thing for Carly. Every one but Carly herself could see it. Dalton in the other hand knew Carly didn't see him in a romantic way or probably ever will. I had once asked her what she thought of him. At first, she thought I was trying to get at him and went on to give me a whole lecture on how I was with Nick and that Dalton was his best friend. It took me a while to convince her that it was nothing like that. She finally told me she only saw him as a friend and that's all.

I shook my head before asking Nick, "When do you think he's going to give up?"

"I don't know, but it's Dalton we're talking about. He can be pretty persistent when he wants to be." He replies and takes a drink of his beer. "Hopefully it's soon. He needs a girlfriend." I say looking at Dalton filming Carly some more. Nick just laughs.

Carly then stands and takes the camera from Dalton. "Give me that….oh, and the tables turn." Carly then begins to film him while he's telling her not to. She films him until he walks into one of the tents. I laugh a little before standing and heading over there. I grab Paige's hand pulling her along.

" Look how cute you look on camera, though. You look good." Carly says. I push him down until he is sitting. "I think we might have to do make over." Paige says as she holds a shirt up to him. "Oh hell yeah." I say and grab a pair of Paige's sunglasses. " What do you think?" Paige asks about the blue shirt she held up. " He looks like a smurf."

We ended up dressing him up on a Yellow thin jacket, took his cap off, and placed the the sunglasses on his face. "Look at that. You look fabulous!" I said laughing along with the girls. Dalton just groaned which made me laugh more.

"Your coming out." Carly told him holding the camera and heading outside the tent.

"I don't know."

"If you don't, I will be so mad." I knew he wouldn't go out so I looked over at Paige and signaled her to help me out. Together we managed to push Dalton out of the tent so the guys could see him.

"He looks like Elton John, but more gay." Blake said from his spot next to Nick. I made my way over to Nick and sat on his lap with my arms around his neck. "Hey." I say to him and give him a little kiss. "Hey you."

"Elton John is gay?" Dalton asks playing along.

I pull Nick's hood back a little and then give him a full on kiss on the lips. He grabs me by the hips and pulls me to him. We forget about the other and continue to make out. I move a little so that I'm straddling his lap. I bring my hand to his chest and begin to rub up and down, as he puts his inside my shirt were my waist is not once breaking the kiss. "Oh yeah! That what talking about. Give me some more of that." I pull my face away from Nick and look at Dalton who is behind me filming Nick and I. Nick just continues to kiss my neck while I flip Dalton off and tell him to get lost.

Out of nowhere a bright light is flashing in our faces. I look to where it's coming from and could barely tell it's a truck's headlights. I put my hand in front of my face trying to block the bright light. Nick turn's a little to see what's going on then he looks away again. "Who the freaking hell is that?" I ask no one in particular. Nick bends down to grab his open beer, while still holding on to me. We are all the same positions as before for a while when Wade yelled, "Yeah?" Blake then followed Wade's actions. "Hey, yo, man, you need something?" None got any sort of response from the person in the truck.

"What does he want?" Asked Carly. No one answered. This was honestly freaking me out.

"Hey, can you turn off your lights, please?" Wade tried again. "Hey, come on, man, get out of here. Nothing to see here. Let's go." Blake said waving his hand a little.

I turned my upper body a little to see Carly getting of Wade's lap and him standing up. He walked a little until he was in front of the group. "Can we help you?"

"Maybe we're in his property." Carly tried to reason with the rest of us. "No, we didn't pass a gate." Wade told her. "You don't need to pass a gate to be in someone's property." I said.

"Hey, man, turn your lights off." Blake said standing up as well followed by Paige. I heard the other still trying to get the person in the truck to turn his lights off, as I looked at Nick who was clearly getting annoyed. If I was correct, it'll only be a matter of seconds before he does something.

When Blake threatened to beat 'someone's ass' - in this case the driver - and get ignored and stopped by Wade, Nick lightly pushed me off him and then, threw his beer bottle at one of the headlights. "Nick!" Carly exclaimed from her spot next to Wade. Nick ignored her and made his way to the front of the group, while pulling his hood off, and stood there staring at the truck.

Carly looked at me with a look that said, 'do-something- about -him' and nodded her head towards Nick. I just shrugged and shook my head with a 'sorry' look, because at the end when Nick got annoyed he was going to do something about it and there was no changing his mind.

After a quiet minute or so, the truck backed away and drove off. "My man, Nick, here is hardcore." Both Blake and Dalton were like praising him or something. Nick turned to walk back to where I was still standing. "Don't encourage him." Carly scold the guys.

Nick grabbed me around the waist and sat me on his lap. Everyone went back to how it was before creepy-truck-person showed up. Out of nowhere I started cracking up, which earned weird looks from the group. " Why are you laughing?" Nick asked.

"Cause...Dalton looked….soo tough...in that outfit." I said in between laughs. Everyone turned to Dalton, who still wore the outfit and glasses, before laughing along with me.

The next morning I woke up to Blake screaming at us to wake up. "Nick, Vanessa, Dalton, let's go. Wake up! We're gonna miss the game!" I groaned and buried my face into the crook of Nick's neck. Then Blake decided to throw something at our tent. At this point I couldn't go back to sleep. I got up and kicked Dalton out of the tent he shared with Nick and I. When he left I quickly changed into a pair of dark denim skinny jeans and a white tank top along with my dark brown combat boots. I decided to leave my hair down.

When I finished i decided to go with the girls into the trees to do our business and let the guys pick up everything.

"So, you and Wade talk some more?" Paige asked Carly who was lifting her jeans back up. "We're just in different places right now. He hasn't given me a guilt trip about going, so I can't give him one for staying."

" As long as you guys talk about it before it's time for you to leave." I told her and placed my arm around her shoulder giving her a reassuring squeeze. She just smiled at me. Then the wind blew and the nasty smell from last night came back.

"Oh, my god, there's that smell again." Paige said. We all covered our noses and looked around a little.

"I think it's coming from over there." Carly said and began heading in that direction. "Carly! What the hell? Don't follow it." I told her. "What? I want to see what it is." She then grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her. I turn to Paige who was following us and rolled my eyes.

"Come on." She said.

"I can't believe you're making us do this. Only you." Paige continued to complain while I was just trying to avoid throwing up. The smell got stronger the more we got nearer. "Oh my god, I hate you." Carly still holding my hand turn to Paige and chuckled.

Before we Knew it, Carly and I were both rolling/sliding down a small hill. I could hear Paige call out for us. Some how in the middle of us falling, Carly's hand slipped from mine. I managed to twist my body around-where I was facing down- and stopped myself. Carly in the other hand had no such luck. She landed head first in a pile of dead animals. Her hands were stuck up to the elbows in the dead pit.

"Carly! Vanessa! Are you okay?!" Paige asked. " Paige! Vanessa! I'm stuck!"

Carly and Paige both began to call for the guys. I stood up and went to try and help Carly out. I grabbed her by her ankles and tried to pull her up. "Try to push yourself up Carly." I told her.

"I can't."

Then the guys came asking for us. I saw wade come and tell Carly he had her. Once I saw that he did I let go. I felt arms go around me and help me up. I turned to see Nick's concerned face. "Are you okay? What happened?" He looked me up and down. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just some scratches. She had it worst." I said. "What happened?' He asked once again. " We slipped, it's all."

Then a truck drove up to the dead pit. "Hey is that the truck from last night?" Blake asked. "Not unless he fixed his head light." Wade answered.

Hugged Nick's side and he put his arm around me in a protective way as we all continued to look at the truck. Then this creepy-nasty looking dude came out-not noticing us- and went to the back of his truck to pull out a dead deer and throwing it into the pit. Dalton then turned to me ignoring the dude; "Hey, have you seen my camera?" I looked at him and shook my head. He kid the ground disappointed. We then turned back to the guy.

"Hey." Wade called out. "Don't you see that? What is that?" Carly asked pointing at what looked like a human hand sticking out of the pile of dead animals. The guy turned to where she was pointing and walked towards it and reached for it.

"What is he doing?" I whispered. I guess Wade was thinking the same thing because he asked the guy the same question.

The guy the pulled the hand out and asked, "Anyone need a hand?" I gave him a 'what-is-wrong-with-you' look. "I'm just fooling. It's not real see."He tapped the fake hand to prove his point.

Carly walked away and headed to where Paige was as the guy went on about how he found the hand. Nick, Dalton and I walked closer to the girls. When we got near them Nick and I stopped as Dalton went to go ask about his camera. I buried my face in Nick's chest trying to not smell the dead animals. Wade continued to talk to the creepy guy and Carly washed her hands clean.

"Hey, you don't know if there's a gas station around here, do you?" Wade asked.

"Well, I got some gas in the truck if…."

"I need a fan belt."

"What?" Carly asked him. I took my head away from Nick's chest and looked at Wade.

"Just busted." Carly scoffed and said, "Of course. Perfect."

"How does a fan belt just bust on a parked car. Wasn't that thing new?" Wade looks at me, shrugs and nods his head.

"Bo might have one. Runs a station in Ambrose." Creepy-guy said.

"Where that at?"

"Fifteen miles up the road."

Then Wade and Blake started talking about getting one in another town but Wade didn't want to leave his car alone afraid that the guy from last night might come back and strip it.

"I'll give you a ride." Creepy-guy offers.

"Are you serious?"

"If you like."

"Well, yeah. yeah."

Carly then told Wade that she will be going with him. Both me and Paige tried to convince her not to but she only said she'll be alright. "Carly."Nick said. "What?" Nick took his shirt off handing it to her. Blake and Paige headed back to the camp leaving the rest of us there. I looked at Nick checking him out and whispered to him, "That's a nice view." He smirked pulling me to him and gave me a kiss. When we pulled away we saw the guy checking out Carly as she changed shirts so we stood in front of her blocking the view.

When she was done Wade grabbed her hand and headed to the truck, then they drove away. For some reason I just had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Man, you just gonna leave like that. With a man who throws roadkill in a pit for a living?" Dalton asked Nick.

"Dalton. You clean shit for a living. You shouldn't be talking." I said giggling. " Yeah, Mr. Septic-Tank-Man." Nick added. "What's the difference?" Nick turned around to head up to the camp and I jumped on his back giving him a kiss on the neck.

"Well, I don't walk through it, that's one. That's a difference right?" I just laughed at him and we continued our walk leaving the roadkill behind.
