Chapter 10

"hey" Sally and Ben were up before everyone else

"hi" Beth managed to say she had barely slept

"hey what's up you look awful" Ben looked anxiously at her

"thanks" she smiled sarcastically

"leave her alone" Sally slapped him playfully, Beth went back into her tent only to walk in on Will getting changed

"oh god" Beth spun back around blushing furiously

Nate and Mel emerged some twenty minutes later hand in hand, smiling Nate kissed the tip of her nose

"so are we?" Sally smiled at Mel

"I think so" Mel smiled brightly back at her

"you think so" Nate tickled her slightly

"ok yeah were an item" she giggled

"you took your time" Beth smiled at her, genuinely happy that her friend had found her happiness at last.

"so how are things between you and Ben then?" Mel was keen to get the conversation of her and Nate

"it's good thanks", The two girls studied each other both trying to figure out what the other was thinking

"so do you think the trip was a success?" Mel was curios to to find out what everyone thought"

"yeah it was great, I thought it would be weird being nice I feel like I've got to know everyone a little bit more" Mel could only agree.

"Tonight's the final night then?" Nate said smiling sitting down next to Beth

"thank god" she said heartily

"what's up?" he looked at her it was unusual to find Beth upset it was her everyone normally relied on to be cheered up

"nothing" Nate could tell she was lying her voice full of emotion as a single tear feel down her cheek

"hey come here" Nate pulled her in tightly and hugged her,

"wonder what's going on there then" Ben nodded towards the beach

"nothing" Mel said sounding a lot more confident than what she felt,

"what did you say to her" Sally rounded on Will

"nothing" Will paused for a few minutes trying to think "I haven't said anything"

"maybe that's the problem" Nate appeared back at Mel's side however Beth was still on the beach

"do you think I should down" Will wanted to

"nah just leave her for now" Nat smiled sympathetically at him

"what's up with her" Mel slipped her hand around Nate's waist

"I think she needs to figure it out herself, as I don't think she even knows". The group decided to head back and leave her to it.
