Accidents Happen
It has gotten darker and everyone has went to sleep, well except for me and Zach. We went back to building a campfire. We talked and laughed about random stuff. The next thing I know, I'm alreay falling asleep. So Zach puts my head down on his shoulder and puts a blanket around me to keep me warm. And when I peek out to look at him, I can see him smiling. I just couldn't imagine being apart from him.
When I wake up, I find Zach nowhere near my side. So, I get up figuring he went into the woods. I lurk into the words, busy looking for Zach, but I found him nowhere. I start to wonder where he had then someone came up and covered my eyes from behind, "Guess who?" He asked and it was Zach.
I laugh and turn to face him. "Where were you? I've been looking for you all around."
"Hey, I had to take a private session alone. And that was pretty hard, considering the fact that there are no bathrooms out here," He says as he laughs and shakes his head at me. "A girl like you shouldn't be out here alone. C'mon let's go back."
"Well, hello there," Macey greets. "You guys seemed to have a good night's sleep." She says as she eyes us both.
Before we could even respond to that, Liz is already reminding us to gather all our stuff to get ready to leave. I was looking forward to a great day with Zach. Zach must've been thinking the same thing 'cause the next thing I know, he's taking my hand and rushing to gather our stuff to get back to the van fast.
When everyone has hopped into the van, Zach sits right next to me and says, "I've got a surprise for you. There's this place I want to take you to." He tells me as he forms a smile on his lips.
"You mind telling me where this place is?" I ask, wondering what he's got in mind this time. I lean closer to him, hoping that'll get him to tell me.
But all I get is a smirk from him. He looks deep into my eyes, leaning closer till our faces are just mere inches away. "Sorry, Cammie. But I've got secrets too."
When we get back to town, in Roseville, Virginia, Liz says, "So what do you say we do next?" She says, looking to us, expecting some kind of answer as her face lightens up. But none us got to answer back 'cause Zach was already up ahead and saying something.
"Sorry," He tells us as we stare at him in wonder. "But me and Cammie have somewhere else to be." He tells us as he takes my hand and pulls me to him. They all stare at each other, wondering what Zach is up to. Then he leads me towards his car and opens the door for me to get in.
He turns on the engine and when he hits the road, he turns to look at me and smiles. "So you're really not going to tell me what this place that we're going are you?" I face him, drumming my fingers on one leg.
"Oh that's confidential, Cammie," He tells me as he winks. I lean back in my seat, taking a deep breath as I continue to wonder where we're going. He takes a glance at me and when he sees the pout on my face, he laughs softly. "Don't worry, Cammie. We're getting there and trust me, we'll have lots of fun." He puts his hand on top of mine and I can't help but smile.
"Whatever you say, Captain." I joke at him, both of us laughing. And every time I try to stop laughing, when I take a look at Zach, the laughing starts right over again. Zach shakes his head, thinking we're so silly. The laughter begins to calm down when it starts to rain. The rain pours down on the car and it begins to calm me down. I felt like nothing could go wrong at that moment, even more so with Zach's hand gripping mine tightly.
Nothing was wrong at that moment. Everything was perfect. Zach was there and he had a surprise for me. What could go wrong? I watch the rain drops that continue to fall on my window, looking to Zach. He pulls me closer to give me a quick kiss. And that's all it took. Just one glance away from the road. That's all it took to not see the deer run in front and onto the road. When Zach looks back on the road, he quickly turns the car, so abruptly that it zooms right into the trees. That's all it took for us not to see the deer and get into an accident. That's all it took for me to disappear.
