Male Bonding Gone Wrong

Chapter 2- Mother Nature's Son

The coldness of the water was a shock to his nervous system. Jamie would have screamed if the water hadn't sucked him under. He felt something brush against him, and as he surfaced again he realized it was Hank. The shock of seeing Hank was nearly as bad as the shock of hitting the water. He tried to shout for Hank only to begin choking as water filled his lungs. The water swiftly pushed him and Hank down river and thought of one thing. If the water is moving this rapidly, there must be a waterfall.

Caitie chewed slowly. "So you really think the boys are having fun?"

"Of course they are. The're probably playing around by the lake or doing some other 'guy' thing." Val said with a small smirk.

"I don't know, I just can't shake the feeling that something isn't right." Caitie said with a sigh.

"Oh come on Caitie, everything is fine." Val replied through a mouthful of pizza. Caitie snickered at her friend.

"Yeah, I guess your right."

"If it bothers you that much, Tyler gave me the number to were they were staying. You can call them after dinner." Caitie smiled.

"I may just do that Val."

"Why are you so worried? Afraid Jamie's gonna kill Hank and Tyler?" Val smirked.

"Actually, I'm afraid Hank and Tyler will drive Jamie to insanity and he'll come back babbling about Rocky Racoon. Then I'll have to have him commited."

"Who's Rocky Racoon?" Val asked. Caitie rolled her eyes.

"Nevermind, I didn't think you'd get it."

"Get what?"

"Nevermind." Caitie smiled slyly. Val blew her bangs away from her face.

"Caitie!" Caitie grinned.

"Where's the number?"

"Not telling you until you tell me who Rocky Racoon is!"

"Fine, then I'll just have to ran-sack your room." With that Caitie bolted down the hallway and into Val's room.

Tyler ran down the bank, trying to keep Hank and Jamie in sight. He screeched to a stop and his blood seemed to freeze in his veins when he saw the waterfall. He saw the large branch laying in the water, and the light bulb went off over his head.

"JAMIE!" He yelled just as loudly as he could. "GRAB THE BRANCH!" Either Jamie heard him, or had gotten the same idea himself. Jamie reached out and grabbed Hanks arm, twisting him in the water so he could see the branch. The two worked hard to make it to the branch. As the two boys were swept past, Jamie reached out and grabbed the branch, holding on for dear life. Hank however, missed the branch and went flowing by. Ignoring the scratches, the oddly shaped branch was giving him Jamie reacted.

"NO!" Jamie shouted, lashing out like lighting and grabbing Hank's hand. Jamie pulled Hank towards the branch until Hank got a good hold on it.

"T-thank you." Hank's teeth chattered, Jamie only nodded. Tyler lay flat on his stomach hoping against hope he could reach their hands. Jamie realized before Tyler that he wasn't going to be able to reach them. He turned to Hank.

"Your going to have to push your self up towards him!"

"How?!" Hank yelled over the roar of the water.

"I'll help boost you up!" Jamie yelled back. He let one hand loose and Grabbed Hank's shoulder. Jamie used one arm to help boost Hank towards Tyler. Hank had to push part of the branch that hung over Jamie's head up and out of the way, Tyler was just barely grabbed Hank's hands. He pulled him up onto land. They hadn't however, been prepared for the branch that would richote back at Jamie.

**************************************************************************************************************************

"I'm serious Val, something is very very wrong!" Caitie was in a full fledged panic. She had just tried calling the cabin only to have no one answer.

"Caitie, your over reacting. I'm sure their fishing or something."

"I don't think so. What if they got lost in the woods. I mean lets face it, none of them are exactly Mother Nature's son!" Caitie folded her arms.

"I'll tell you what Caitie, we'll call them again tomorrow. If we still don't get an answer we'll call Hank's uncle okay?" Caitie didn't seem to be appeased by this arrangement.

"I just know something is horribly, horribly wrong."

**************************************************************************************************************************

The branch connected with surprising force and Jamie saw stars. For Hank and Tyler is seemed to go in slow motion as the branch went flying back, connect with Jamie's head. As the branch reverbrated back, Hank could already see the cut it left on Jamie's face and the shocked expression as his hands slid off the branch.

"JAMIE!" Tyler and Hank screamed as one. They shot up and began running down the bank hoping they could reach him in time, they watched horrified as Jamie sunk under the water and disappeared over the waterfall.

Will Jamie be okay? What'll the boys do? Wanna know? Gotta wait for chapter 3 sorry. ;)
