It was really late. Or I thought it was, honestly I haven't checked my phone in a while though it was sitting right next to me. I had somehow convinced Logan that getting my phone for me would be the greatest thing he would ever do, but the only reason he got it for me was because his tent was down that way. Logan, Kendall, and James hand all called it a night and were all in their tents. Making the only two left...me and...Carlos.
We were lying down on the seats looking up to the sky as the fire was slowly putting itself out. It's been silent between us for a good while now. I wasn't sure of what to say and I was fighting to stay awake. I was use to staying up late, actually I can recall multiple occasions where I would lie awake almost all night texting Sawyer, Jo, Camille, or (ha) Carlos.
I couldn't fight it any longer though. I yawned, loudly…
I heard Carlos laugh lightly, "You can go to bed if you want."
"No," I yawned again, "I'm not leaving you out here alone." I argued.
"You won't be…" He said through a yawn.
I yawned again, "Okay." I replied while we both sat up.
After making sure the fire was put out, because only we can prevent forest fires, we slowly we walked over to the tents. I was glad the tents were close; things were too quiet for my liking.
"This one is yours." Carlos said as we walked up to it.
I sighed, "Night Carlitos." I said while reaching out for a hug.
He smiled while putting on his helmet and accepted my hug. Not wanting to let go, I held on tightly as he did the same. Something inside of me wanted the fire to still be roaring and us to be sitting by it.
My world was interrupted by a familiar text tone going off.
Go away Sawyer…
Carlos and I broke the hug, said our final goodnights, and he went to his tent. I looked to the text…
From Sawyer:
Kissy Kissy :3
One of my eyes twitched.
To Sawyer:
What?
From Sawyer:
Look up.
I looked up and saw Sawyer standing in the window of his room, smiling and waving to me.
To Sawyer:
You're such a creeper. What the hell are you doing?
From Sawyer:
I was making sure you guys put out the fire, because only we can prevent forest fires, and saw you guys.
To Sawyer:
Goodnight!
With that final text I shut off my phone and went into my tent of the night.
The only thing I was ever able to do, since I was little, was think about things until I went to sleep. The only thing on my mind is? You bet it is.
Does Kendall know something I don't?
That would explain the look?
No doubt I'll be hounded by Sawyer for answers…
Note to self: Force answers out of Kendall, slay like a zombie if necessary…
I turned to my side and snuggled into my pillow…slowly I drifted into sleep.
"ELIZABETH!" A voice shouted ripping my cover off of me.
Unfortunately for me, I was wrapped in it. I unraveled and fell to the ground, opening my eyes at the exact time my body met the pavement.
"Ughhh." I groaned in annoyance.
"Elizabeth, get up." The voice I now recognized as Camille laughed with a smile I could basically see in front of my unopened eyes.
"One good reason?" I asked while I rolled over to my back.
"I'm done with my audition today and I demand you go shopping with me." She replied.
My eyes shot open, "So it's Saturday?" I asked while sitting up.
"Yeah." She laughed.
"Oh thank GOD!" I sighed out of relief, "I thought I was late for school." I laughed getting up all the way, "Could you carry my pillow and clothes from yesterday up to my room? I need to stop by the guys' and drop off the blanket." I asked as I picked up the blanket.
"Sure can." She replied with a smile as she picked everything up, "Meet up at your place" She asked as we left the tent walking into the Palm Woods.
"Yep." I replied as we went separate ways.
While walking to the guys' room Sawyer's text tone went off again…
From Sawyer:
Can't hang today, got called to set. : (
To Sawyer:
It's all gravy. I'm going shopping with Camille. DO WORK!
From Sawyer:
DO WORK!
I put my phone away as I arrived at their door. I knocked and was greeted by Katie, "Hey Elizabeth." She smiled.
"Hey, does this belong here?" I asked holding the blanket it out to her.
"Yeah, thanks." She replied taking it from me and dropping it by the side of the door inside of the apartment, "Wanna come in?" She asked opening the door a smidge.
"Can't, I'm meeting with Camille." I replied, "Wanna come with?"
"Depends, what're you guys doing?" She asked crossing her arms leaning against the door frame.
"Going shopping." I replied.
She made a face of slight disgust, "Uh, I think I'll pass. But let me know when you guys are plotting for money." She smiled.
I laughed, "Will do." I agreed as we bumped fists.
"Later." I said as I walked away.
"Later!" She called while shutting the door.
I hurried back to my apartment. Camille was standing outside the door, "You could've knocked. My parents would've let you in." I laughed as I walked up to her.
"I did, nobody answered." She replied just as I turned the knob to the door, only to find that it was locked.
"Okay…" I said while moving the plant that was outside our door. I grabbed the key that was underneath, unlocked the door, and put the key back.
We walked inside, Camille closing the door behind her. I went to my room and she went to the couch. I quickly took a shower and got dressed so we could be on our way.
"So gueeeessss what." She said with a wide smile as we walked back out of the apartment.
"What?" I asked making sure I had my key. I did.
"Logan and I are together!" She exclaimed.
"About time!" I laughed, "I've been hearing about him from you since I moved here." I said as we began our trip to destination stores.
"I know! And I'm sorry about that." She laughed looking slightly embarrassed.
"Never apologize for how you feel. It's only denying what's real." I said looking straight down the hallway.
"Ahh, wise words indeed sin-say." She said while mock bowing with her hands in prayer from in front of her. "So when are you and Carlos gunna happen?" She asked with a smirk.
Review please! Cause frankly...I'm getting writers block and I'm not to sure how I feel about this chapter...
