A/N: Welcome to Chapter Thirteen. When we left off last, Phil had just been rescued by Chuckie and Tommy.
The day after Phil's rescue, people began getting tense around what had happened at camp. Phil was required to relax and remain in safe boundaries. Chuckie and Tommy watched over him endlessly. Bridget smirked at the instance, knowing that nobody would ever suspect that it was her who had set up Phil's near-death experience. And that was a fact.
Chuckie sighed heavily as he perched himself atop the huge cliff that gazed over the campground. He was exhausted from last night's scare, and was quite hesitant on leaving Tommy with Phil alone. He took in the last of the clear, blue air, knowing he only had a few more days at Camp Cornwall before the summer had ended. He let his emotions take over the best of him before someone approached him on the cliff.
"Hey, Finster. What are you doing here?" Angelica inquired, sitting beside him.
"Nothing. This is just, well, my spot of relaxation. I always come here to think," Chuckie informed her, chuckling.
"And what exactly are you thinking about in that huge skull of yours?" Angelica joked, punching him playfully in the arm.
"Nothing. I'm just reconsidering my life. I was a failure in love this year," Chuckie sighed, throwing a pebble off the cliff.
"Chuck, it isn't that big of deal that you hooked up with Bridget. There will be plenty of other girls for you," Angelica stated.
"Like who?" Chuckie wondered.
"Like me," Angelica briefly said.
Chuckie looked into those deep blue eyes of hers, knowing why she had always taunted him in the past. Angelica's cheeks were flushed, and it was pretty apparent that she was crushing on Chuckie. He gave her a wink before letting his feet dangle off the cliff.
"You know Angelica. I could kiss you right now, right here on this cliff. But guess what? We've got all the time in the world to do that kind of stuff. And right now, I just want to know you, the real you," Chuckie revealed, giving her a slight laugh.
"Okay, you want to know the real me? Here it goes…" Angelica began, knowing her future with Chuckie was going to be bright.
Meanwhile…
Tommy stumbled over the docks, anxious to take a quick swim. He was desperately torn between Kimi and Lil. As he yanked off his shirt while approaching the dock, another figure was perched there-Kimi. Tommy collapsed next to her.
"Hey," He simply said, looking out at the water.
"Hey," she replied. "That was a really brave thing you did for Phil last night."
"Thanks. I would have done it in a heartbeat for you, too," Tommy revealed, kicking at the water.
"Awwww, that's so cute. Thanks," Kimi graciously replied to him.
"Kimi, I have to tell you something…" Tommy's voice wandered off.
"Yeah?" Kimi wondered.
"It's just… ever since I was a little kid I've been crushing on Lil. I mean, I thought she was 'The One' for such a long time. But, after this summer, my feelings have changed for you. I mean…I really like you, Kimi Finster," Tommy professed, looking into her eyes.
"Oh, Tommy! I've loved you for the longest time!" Kimi exclaimed, as Tommy pulled her in for a kiss.
The kiss that Kimi and Tommy shared with gentle and comforting, just the way that Kimi imagined her first kiss would be. She felt just right with Tommy, and as he kissed her passionately, she knew, just knew everything would be alright. However, something was bothering Kimi. Something about her friend Lil…
TEN MINUTES LATER
After 10 minutes of making out with Tommy, Kimi was exhausted. She desperately knew she wanted more, but something was pinging at her feelings. She just didn't feel right doing this to both Tommy and Kimi. So as Tommy kissed her once again, Kimi coolly pulled back.
"Tommy, I can't do this," Kimi announced.
"Why? I mean, we're perfect for each other," Tommy was taken aback by Kimi's abrupt response.
"Tommy, there's someone who loves you much more than I do. Not as long, but much, much more. Someone who deserves you. Someone who is perfect for you. Someone I know you love more," Kimi explained, picking up her shoes.
"Who is that? We're made for each other Kimi," Tommy convinced Kimi.
"I think you know just as well as I do," Kimi painfully cried, and ran into the forest, leaving Tommy alone on the dock in shock.
