Pulling Me Through
Chapter Ten
Andy's POV
When I woke up in the morning Jake was in my room and was trying to pack some clothes.
"Jake what are you doing?" I asked.
"Oh sorry, I was letting you two sleep in so I'm packing for you" Jake explained. I smiled at him. Jake opened one of the draws and screamed slightly. I jumped out of bed to see what was so terrifying. When I saw what it was I could have burst out laughing. He had found where Riley kept her underwear.
"What's going on?" Riley asked. She had stood behind us and when she found out what we were looking at she had a look of horror on her face. "Out"
Jake smiled sheepishly at her and then left her. Riley went to take a shower while I packed for us, it didn't take long to pack. I just grabbed anything besides we were only going for a week so how many clothes would we need? I made sure to bring a lot of hoodies considering the fact that it was winter and sleeping outside could be very cold.
When Riley was finished in the bathroom I hopped into the shower then quickly done my makeup. When we were finished packing we went downstairs. The rest of the gang was sitting waiting for us. We smiled at them and rolled the suitcases outside. I made sure that I picked up Riley's and my Ipod before leaving. Altogether there were five suitcases. We mainly tried to share so that we wouldn't have as much luggage. We threw the three tents in the back and then got in.
"Is everyone ready?" Jake asked. We all nodded and then we were pulling away. Nobody really talked for about ten minutes but finally I decided to break the ice. I started to hum sweet blasphemy. When nobody joined in I gave a helpless look at Riley. She rolled his eyes but sang anyway. Before I knew it Jake had joined in, followed by Jinxx and then CC. Sammi just rolled her eyes but still sang along anyway. Finally we were making noise instead of just sitting in silence. The conversation got on to other bands that we listened to. Apparently we all like Bullet for my Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold and our guilty pleasure was Elliot Minor. We had been in the car for about half an hour and already Riley was asleep and leaning on my shoulder. I put an arm round her and sighed. She was cute when she slept. I heard a grunt and looked down. She was holding onto my hoodie for dear life and her eyes were shut tightly. Although it killed me to see her have a nightmare I knew how bad I would feel if I was to wake her when she had just got to sleep. I rested my cheek on her head and closed my eyes. The car was surprisingly comfortable and I found myself almost falling asleep. I mentally shook myself and managed to stay awake for the duration of the journey. I really wanted to be there and awake when Riley woke up so I jammed my headphones into my ear and put Bullet for my Valentine on.
When we arrived Riley woke up and smiled slightly at me. I kissed her cheek and she blushed, which was incredibly cute. We scrambled out of the car and hit the grass with our feet. It was like the bouncy grass that never fails to amaze you. We went to the car boot and opened it.
"Ok so we're going to split into our teams of two and build our tents" Jake instructed. When I looked round I saw Riley roll her eyes at him and to be honest I didn't blame her. Jake was acting as if this was a school trip. We went into the woods and spaced out so we would all have room. I got to work on building the tent. Riley was trying to see the instructions and really wasn't doing a very good job at figuring out what went where but we finally managed to make the tent look almost normal and it finally stopped collapsing every time we left go.
"It looks quite good" I said. Riley nodded at me and then laughed. She ran into the tent and I followed, but me being the stupid person that I am, tried to stand up and I think I almost broke my neck with effort. I found it cute that Riley was giggling at me even though my neck really did hurt now. I sat down in the tent and found that tents were definitely not comfortable. I could have killed Riley for suggesting that we should go camping but then again I do love her.
Riley's POV
Finally we had started the camping trip and were putting the tents up. I could smell a faint smell of grass. It wasn't necessarily disgusting but I would opt for something that smelled a bit better than that. When I looked at the instructions for building a tent I was immediately stumped. I really wanted to be able to build this tent so that I could impress Andy but it didn't look like that was going to be happening if I couldn't even tell what the pictures were telling me what to do. We struggled on but finally we managed to get the tent to stand up by itself and it looked half decent as well which was a bonus. When we went inside Andy was stupid enough to think that he would be able to stand up in it and then ended up hurting himself. He looked so adorable when he stood up and rubbed his neck that I found myself physically giggling, Andy didn't take it seriously as he gave me a small smile and then lay down and acted as though he hadn't just thought that the tent was over six ft tall. I lay down next to him as he put his arm around me and snuggled up to me.
"Camping seems nice so far" Andy said. I sat up slightly and looked into those blue eyes. I never wanted to be so cliché but being in love was amazing.
"It sure is" I sighed. I leaned down and kissed his lips so gently that I was surprised that he could even feel it but he kissed back just as gently. His lips were so plush and amazing that I felt as though I was physically melting, just being near him was amazing though.
"You're so great" Andy mumbled into my lips. I pulled away and looked at him again. I hoped that the look on my face showed that I was thinking hard because that was what I was going for. When I looked back at Andy he confirmed that, that was what my face looked like as he looked as though he was waiting for a response.
"I know I am" I laughed. He joined in with my laughter; his laugh was like a song being played in my head.
"You should sing to me" Andy said. I thought that at first he was only joking but when I looked at him his face showed complete seriousness
"I can't sing" I scoffed. Andy looked slightly crestfallen and it made me feel awful so I rolled my eyes and opened my mouth and began singing.
It's true we're all a little insane
But it's so clear
Now that I'm unchained
Fear is only in our minds
But it's taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's taking over all the time
You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
I know you love to hate me
Don't deny
I'm your sacrifice
Andy silenced my singing with another kiss.
"I love you" He whispered. I nodded into him and closed my eyes and before I knew it I fell into darkness.
