A/N: There's really not much to say, but just enjoy this chapter. And thank you guys for the reviews, I highly appreciate it!

"So do you want the cheese sandwich or the baloney one?" Taylor asked me. It was only 12 in the afternoon and for our lunch today was only sandwiches and a bottle of water. Later into the day, we all planned that we would go swimming in the lake that was nearby our campsite. I looked over at Taylor who was wearing khaki shorts and a regular white shirt, with black sunglasses on top of his head.

"The baloney one," I answered, folding my arms across my chest and sighing.

Taylor turned around from the food basket that held all of our food and raised an eyebrow at me. "What's with the sigh?"

I shrugged and simply answered, "Nothing, I'm just bored right now. Time's like these, it's always boring. Boring, boring, boring, boring."

I saw Taylor smirk and then he replaced it with a small smile and nodded. He turned away from and continued looking through the food basket for my baloney sandwich. I raised an eyebrow at Taylor's smirk and just shrugged it off. Well I've always been weird. A few seconds later, Taylor turned around to face me and handed me the baloney sandwich. I took it from him and unwrapped the tissue from the sandwich and bit into the sandwich. This is good, I thought. I quickly took another bite and chewed on it quickly. Taylor chuckled beside me as he bit into his baloney sandwich as well.

I slapped his arm and exclaimed, "Why are you laughing at me?"

Taylor chuckled more and shook his head, "Nothing, you just look like you're really hungry. And bored."

I glared at him and bit on my sandwich and stuck my tongue out at him. "Whatever, I'm hungry and bored," I tried to say through my mouth full of food.

Taylor laughed and shook his head. I playfully rolled my eyes and walked away to where Mark was. He was currently talking to Terrence and they both hand their hands shoved in their pockets. I took my time walking to them and when I finally reached them, I stood next to Mark and listened to their conversation.

"So maybe we should do that then," Terrence casually said to Mark. Mark noticed me standing next to him, as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and gently squeezed it.

"Yeah, we definitely should. It'll be fun," Mark agreed. I looked up at both of them and wondered what they were talking about.

"What are you guys talking about?" I questioned as I bit into the last piece of my sandwich and crumpled up the tissue.

Terrence's eyes averted to me and said, "Oh, we were planning to go swimming in the lake with the big waterfall that's about 2 miles from here." Ooh, waterfall. I like the sound of that and that's refreshing.

My eyes lit up with excitement and I said, "Ooh, let's go!" Mark and Terrence laughed.

"Yeah, we're going to plan to leave in about 30 minutes," Mark said.

"Wait, does everybody else know about it?" I slowly asked.

Terrence shook his head and said, "I'll tell them about it in a few minutes. But you and Penny should get a head start at changing into your swimsuits or whatever you girls call it."

I grinned and exclaimed, "Okay!" I leaned up to kiss Mark on the cheek and quickly ran to where Penny was talking to Derek near a big tree. Once I got to where they both were, I grabbed onto Penny's arm and pulled her along with me.

"Whoa, what's the rush?" Penny asked and then laughed.

"Mark and Terrence planned to take all of us to the waterfall that's 2 miles away and Terrence said that we should get a head start at changing into our swimsuits. We're leaving in 30 minutes and-oh! Did you bring your bathing suit?" I breathlessly asked as we made it to my tent and Penny's tent which was both next to each other.

"Of course I did! This is gonna be exciting!" Penny said as she made her way into her tent that she shared with Terrence and zipped up the tent to have some privacy to change. I chuckled and made my way into my tent as well. I zipped up the tent door and went to my luggage that carried my bathing suit. I dug through my clothes and finally found it when I felt the fabric of it. I raised it up in the air and smiled.

2 hours later of us getting lost and Ashley complaining like a big baby because a bug bit her, we finally found the waterfall that Terrence and Mark wanted to bring us to. In awe, we stared in amazement at how beautiful the waterfall was falling down into the water down below. It wasn't as tall as a huge building, but a good enough height to jump off of. There were big, huge rocks that circled around the water and you could as well, jump off of them. It was about 2 in the afternoon and the sun was lazily hiding behind a tree, which was good because we needed the shade.

"Woo! This place looks great! I can't wait to jump into the water," Derek shouted over the loud waterfall since we were standing next to the waterfall. We laughed and all agreed.

"This place is pretty incredible," Taylor commented as we made our way to the top of the waterfall where we would all proceed to jump off.

"It sure is," I said back to him since he was trailing behind me. We all actually had to walk in a straight line in order for us to make it to the top for safety. Terrence was leading the line, Penny behind him, I was behind Penny, Taylor was behind me, Ashley was behind Taylor, and Derek was the last one. Of course I would prefer Ashley to be the last, but Derek thought he was being a gentlemen and all.

After a few more steps, we finally made it to the top where you could see the top of the tress and the mountain tops from afar. Birds were soaring above in the sky and they created a V-shape. I was too busy looking at the view, that I realized I was the only one with my shorts and tank top still on. Everybody was either taking off their last material or putting on some sunscreen. I glanced at Taylor who was now in the process of taking off his white shirt. I tried to tore my eyes away from his chiseled perfection of abs, but I just couldn't stop looking. He pulled it over his head and dropped it onto the ground. Gosh, how much I wanted run my hands down his abs and whoa-wait! Don't think about that Marie, you have a boyfriend! A perfectly good boyfriend that likes you a lot and you're taking advantage of it. I guess I was still staring at Taylor's body because he started to smirk at me. I blushed and finally tore my eyes away from him and dropped my bag onto the floor. I kicked off my slippers and climbed out of my beige shorts. I then pulled my purple tank top over my head and dropped it onto the floor. I then took off the hair tie that was holding my hair in a messy bun and roughly shook my hair out.

I looked down to my bathing suit. It was a turquoise bathing suit that covered the private parts of my body. Nikki actually gave this to me as a friendship present since she flew to Paris when she had to promote Eclipse awhile back. Yes, it may be simple and all, but the reason why it was so expensive was the fabric. The fabrics they make in Paris are elegant and really off the top. It's soft and smooth and it won't even break.

I looked up to see Taylor now staring at me, well my body in awe. I tried my darn hardest not to blush or smile, but instead I just smirked and walked over to where the rest of the group was, which was only 5 feet away from where Taylor and I were at. Mark had on a black swim trunk and well, the rest of the guys had black swim trunks really. Penny's bathing suit was really pretty and it suited her curvy body really well. It was a black bathing suit that Nikki as well indeed bought from Paris as well. I then looked over at Ashley who well, had a normal decent bathing suit on. And I thought she was going all out and showing way too much skin. But I was wrong. She was wearing a bright yellow bathing suit that clung to her skinny body. I shivered at the sight of her bones and turned my attention back at the rest of the group. By now, Taylor had already joined us, but he was still glancing at me.

I didn't want to look at him since I know if I did, I wouldn't be able to contain myself anymore. I blushed again and looked down at my feet, counting everyone's feet. Hm, they all have ten toes. Uh duh, of course Marie! They have ten toes, you stupid girl. I rolled my eyes at my stupidity and tuned back into the conversation on who was going to jump in first.

"I say Terrence jumps in first," Penny announced.

"What? Why me?" Terrence asked.

"Because this was your idea going here," Penny stated.

Terrence thought for a moment and grinned, "Oh yeah huh." We all watched as Terrence walked over to the edge of the rock and peered down at the bottom of the waterfall. He looked back at us and winked at Penny especially.

"This is for you baby!" Terrence shouted as he then jumped off the rock and into the water down below. A fast second passed by and we then heard a splash. Mark and Taylor walked over to the edge of the rock and peered down below like how Terrence did it earlier.

"Go Terrence!" Mark laughed and high-fived Taylor who was laughing as well.

"Did he make it okay?" Penny asked. Taylor turned around and nodded.

Penny sighed in relief and smiled, "Good."

Mark and Taylor then walked back to where the remaining of us were. "So, who's next?" Mark asked.

I stepped back a little and let out a sigh of relief when Derek said he would go next. After Derek screamed at the top of his lungs while jumping down the waterfall, Ashley went next and then Penny went. Now it was only Mark, Taylor, and me.

After Penny finished jumping off the rock, Mark turned back to me and said, "You wanna go next babe?"

I cocked my head to side and said, "You can go first, I know you've been wanting to jump since Terrence made the first jump."

Mark seemed to hesitate for a bit and then asked, "You sure?"

I forced a smile and said, "Yeah, go ahead. I'll meet you down there."

"Okay." Mark then walked to the edge of the rock and looked back at me, "This is for you baby." And with that, he jumped off and laughed.

I chuckled and crossed my arms across my stomach. I looked over at the mountains from afar and said to Taylor who was still here with me, "You can go ahead if you want."

"No."

I snapped my head back to him and raised my eyebrow. "Why no?"

"No, because you're going to jump with me."

I let out a sarcastic laugh and said, "And why would I do that?"

Taylor took a step closer to me and said, "Because I know you're afraid of heights." An image suddenly flashed into my head at the one night when I was over at Taylor's house and he decided to bring me on the roof of his parents house to star gaze. I remember how I told him how scared I was of heights and he told me that he'd be there no matter what. I still clearly remember how we were just about to kiss, but my mom had to interrupt and call my cellphone just to tell me to come home.

"You remembered," I smiled at him.

Taylor smiled back and said, "Of course I remember. I'll never forget those memories with you."

I looked away from him, in order to hide my blush. "Let's jump?" Taylor asked.

I looked back at him and slightly nodded my head. I took a small step forward, while Taylor took a step forward as well. Once we made it closely to each other, face to face, still staring at each other, I then realized I needed him back.

"Come on, let's go to edge," Taylor said. He was so close to me that our chests were now touching.

"Yeah, let's go," I said in my small voice. Once we made it to the edge of the rock, I peered down to see that everyone was waiting for me and Taylor to jump. They were all shouting to jump down already and that the water was great. I nervously sighed and leaned back to where Taylor was watching me.

"You okay?" Taylor worriedly asked, as he placed a hand on my back. His touch made a shiver a bit, but I tried not to show it.

I was about to nod, but shook my head. "Taylor, I can't do it. I'm scared." I quickly turned around and was about to walk away when Taylor's hand grabbed my wrist and spun me around. Our bodies were now close to each other again. He placed his hand under my chin and looked deeply into my eyes.

"Don't be scared Marie. I'm here and I'll always be here now. I promise you. You've just got to overcome this fear of yours and I know it's hard. But I'll be there every step of the way. I won't let you get hurt anymore and I won't leave you ever again. Just jump with me and you'll be able to laugh you're beautiful laugh of yours," Taylor said with love that was now filling in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll jump with you," I said. Taylor nodded and led me back to the edge of the rock. I looked down and instantly felt scared all over again. But stomach was doing weird things and I was starting to get nauseous. A hand then appeared in front of me and I looked back up to Taylor who was patiently waiting.

"Take my hand," he ordered. I instantly placed my hand in his hand. He squeezed my hand and smiled reassuringly at me.

"Do you trust me?" He asked.

"Of course," I answered.

"Good. Close your eyes." I closed my eyes and waited for his next command.

"Breath in." I breathed in through my nose.

"Breath out." I breathed out through my mouth and waited.

"One the count of three, we're going to jump okay?" Taylor asked. I nodded quickly through my closed eyes.

"One.." You can do this Marie! Taylor's here now and he's going to help you.

"Two.." You can do it!

"THREE!" We both jumped off of the rock and into the thin air. I felt a funny feeling going through my stomach as we both went down to the water. I screamed and laughed, while Taylor also laughed along with me.

Three really fast seconds, we splashed down into the cold water. I resurfaced back up from the water at the same time as Taylor did and I could hear my friends shouting and laughing.

"Good one Marie!" Penny shouted.

I rubbed my eyes from the water and clear my view to see Taylor in front of me. He hair was now wet and he was smiling widely at me.

"You did it!" He exclaimed as he suddenly grabbed me and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Thank you so much Taylor! It was so fun dude! The rush and excitement when you're falling down and the oh my gosh. We've got to try that again!" I exclaimed as I continued to hug him. I then heard a fake cough from not too far away, knowing who it was coming from. I quickly pulled away from Taylor and looked around at my surroundings. Skanky Ashley was swimming towards us, with a mean glare, glaring at me. Penny was trying to tell me something through her eyes, but I couldn't decipher what she was trying to tell me. Derek was looking over at something else, trying not to make eye contact with anyone in particular. Terrence was clueless as ever since he was asking Penny why everyone became so silent. And Mark was standing in the water, crossing his arms against his chest, and I could see a mix of emotions splattered on his face. Anger, jealously, and hurt.

I took a step back in the water and tried my best not to make the situation any worse. "So, why's everyone so quiet?" I asked.

"I don't know, you tell me." Mark coldly said.

I gulped and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't what do you mean me! You know what happened!" Mark shouted. I flinched back and took a step backwards.

"I-I don't know what you're saying Mark," I shakingly said.

"Gosh dammit Marie! You know what happened!" Mark shouted again. Tears were now forming in my eyes.

I was about to say something to Mark, but was stopped when Taylor stepped in. "Hey bro, Marie doesn't really know what you're talking about."

Mark's eyes averted to Taylor and said, "Really? Then I'll explain!" He chuckled and continued, "I'll explain to all of you what just happened since Marie doesn't know what's happening. You see, Taylor is Marie's ex-boyfriend. Of course everyone knows that. But has anyone noticed the way they've been looking at each other? Huh?" Mark looked around at each of us and waited until someone said something, but no one said anything. I honestly, have never seen Mark like this before.

"They're both still in LOVE with each other. Duh! You could so tell that they are still in love with each other! At first, I didn't want to believe it but no! I just had to make a stupid excuse in my head that they don't love each other anymore and that Marie is falling for me. Boy, was I wrong. Marie still loves Taylor! And Taylor still loves Marie! I mean, I have no idea why I decided to let Taylor come. And that hug! What the hell was the hug for huh? I'm so stupid, you know? Stupid for falling for Marie, stupid for allowing Taylor to come on this camping trip, stupid for even meeting you!" Mark pointed his finger at me.

Tears were now streaming down my face and I covered my mouth with my hand. I then felt an arm go around my shoulder. I looked next to me to see Penny looking at me with concern in her eyes. Of course she seemed taken aback from Mark's outburst.

"I'm s-sorry Mark but please let me explain," I tried to say in between my sobs.

"No, you know what. We're over! Go back to your ex-boyfriend!" Mark shouted. And with that, he got out of the water, grabbed his shirt with him and walked out of view until I couldn't see his back anymore. I sobbed more and leaned my head on Penny's shoulder.

Penny started rubbing her hand up and down my shoulder. "It's gonna be okay, don't cry Marie. Be strong."

I nodded and tried wiping my tears. I didn't even do anything wrong, right? Taylor and I were just hugging, but I guess Mark was right. I am still in love with Taylor and Mark could clearly see it. I shouldn't have had made Mark's hopes go high. I thought I was falling in love with Mark, but really, I was only falling in love with Taylor more and more.

"Marie, are you okay?" Taylor skeptically asked. I wiped my eyes again and looked over at Taylor who was starting to come towards me. I backed away from Penny and from Taylor and put my hands up in front of me.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" I angrily said.

Taylor looked taken aback. He came closer to me, but I backed away more. "I'm sorry Ma-"

I shook my head and laughed. "I don't need your pity. Just don't come near me, okay?"

Taylor stopped walking and I could see hurt flash through his face. "What?"

I sighed and looked him straight in the eye. "You ruined everything Taylor. You shouldn't have come to this camping trip and with Skanky Ashley! You should have just left me alone and let me move on. But no, you're always where I am. How on earth can I move on Taylor? I really want to move on Taylor, but I just can't get you out of my head and heart. No matter what I do, I still do love you." I muttered the last part, hoping he didn't hear me.

"What did you just say?" Taylor asked.

I looked down and muttered it again.

"Huh?"

I sighed and looked at him in the eye again. "I said I still do love you! Okay? I will always love you no matter what happens!"

Shock passed through Derek and Terrence's face. Happiness passed through Penny's face. Angry passed through Ashley's face. And happiness as well passed through Taylor's face.

"You still love me?" Taylor asked, with a grin on his face.

Before I could open my mouth and say something to him, Skanky Ashley's voice started. "Whaaat?"

We all turned our heads to Ashley. Her face was red and she looked really pissed off.

"You!" Ashley pointed at me. "You can't love him! He's mine!"

Penny started laughing, but covered her mouth with her hand and tried to contain her laughter.

"Look Ashley, you're a great girl and all but I'm not yours. I don't belong to anyone, but Marie. I'm still in love with her," Taylor said to Ashley, then looked at me.

I looked over at Ashley who stared at Taylor wide eye and then stared back at me. More anger flashed through her face. She then started screaming in her high-pitched scream and she started slapping the water around her. Terrence and Penny started laughing, while Derek tried to contain his laughter but failed to do so.

"No! No! No! No!" Ashley screamed. Damn, this girl is really crazy.

"Penny, can you please try to calm her down? I need to talk to Marie more," Taylor said over Ashley's loud screams. Penny quickly nodded and smiled back at me before she proceeded to where Skanky Ashley was at. Penny gestured Terrence and Derek to help her out. They obeyed and went over to help her. Now it was just me and Taylor.

"You still love me?" I breathlessly asked.

"Of course I do," Taylor said with a smile.

"Oh."

"Oh? Why oh?" He raised an eyebrow at me.

"It's just that, we can't go back to the way we were before Taylor," I said.

Taylor creased his eyebrows together and shook his head. "Why?"

I shook my head and said, "Because you hurt me too much Taylor. I just don't think I can handle it anymore with you. Look, I'm sorry but I've got to go and talk to Mark." Before Taylor protest or respond, I quickly made my way out of the water. I pulled on my shorts and slipped on my tank top. I grabbed my bag and quickly ran back to the campsite. It was going to be a long run, but at least I had some time to think for the next 2 miles.

When I finally made it back to campsite, I was so tired that I knew my legs would be sore in the morning. Sweat was running down my back and my clothes were sticking to my skin since I did just get out of the water. I tried to catch my breath as I surveyed the campsite for Mark. I then continued walking and stopped mid track in my steps when I spotted Mark looking off into the distance near the stream. He had his hands in his pockets and he was now wearing a shirt. I could see the pain expression on his face. Gosh, I feel so guilty.

I dropped my bag near my tent and walked over to where Mark was. I fumbled with my fingers and quietly stood next to Mark who stiffened when he noticed I was standing next to him.

"Mark, can we talk?" I skeptically asked.

"I guess," Mark answered plainly.

I nodded and we proceeded to the campfire the night before and we sat down on the log. I suddenly felt nervous and I continued to fumble with my fingers.

"I'm sorry Marie. I shouldn't have said those things to you earlier. I just, I just lost control and you hurt me a lot," Mark suddenly said.

I looked at him to see that he really was sorry. There was no trace of angry or jealously in his eyes, but only sadness.

"Oh Mark, I'm sorry too. You don't have to be sorry though. I deserve all those words you said to me earlier," I said, tears forming in my eyes once again. Gosh, I'm already tired of crying.

"No, it was my fault. Hey, hey. Don't cry," Mark said, noticing me crying and was now wiping the tears that fell down my cheeks.

I let out a small laugh and said, "I hurt you Mark and I'm sorry."

"It's actually okay Marie. I was thinking after I left the waterfall and I thought that if you can't be happy with me, then I know that all I'm doing to you is hurting you. I can't make you love me anyway, but I can be your friend. So go Marie," he said.

I instantly snapped my head to him. I was confused. "What do you mean go?"

He smiled and said, "Go after him Marie. Go after the love of your life."

I sighed and shook my head. "I can't go back to him Mark."

"Why not?"

"Because, he hurt me too much. I don't think that we'd be able to go back the way we were before. I just don't know," I explained.

"Yeah, he did hurt you before but that's how love is Marie. Love hurts so much that you can't take it, but you have to take it Marie. You have to fight for it and you can't let go. I guess that when Taylor broke up with you, he then realized that he couldn't just let you go. Maybe that's why he's always around now. We saw him at the movies and now here. This is fate for you and him. You both belong to each other. So go Marie, go to him and get him."

"But-"

Mark raised his left hand to stop me from talking and said, "No buts. I'll be fine Marie. Just go to him."

I smiled and hugged him hard. "Thank you Mark," I whispered in his ear.

"You're welcome. It was great getting to know you," Mark whispered back into my ear. We both pulled away from the hug and smiled at each other. Mark got up from the log and started to walk away. Oh wait a minutes, I need to say something to him. I quickly spun around and called out his name. He turned around and looked at me with curiosity.

"Yeah?"

"I know someday you'll find a girl who's going to fall in love with your looks, humor, care, and kindness. I wish you the best of luck Mark," I said.

Mark smiled widely and said, "Thank you." I nodded and sat back down on the log. I watched as the sun was starting to set and the clouds were starting to disappear. The wind was starting to pick up and I could hear the rustling of the leaves. I closed my eyes and breathed in the air. Oh nature, how do you like my life? Not so great huh? But I like my life like this. To me, this if perfect.
