Chapter 2
When we walked into the log cabin it was surprisingly quiet. "Where is everyone else?" Jessica asked. "I don't know. This is strange." I replied with a worried look on my face. "Why is this strange, what's wrong?" Nick wondered. "The other group left hours before us and Porter left yesterday. They should all be here by now." I answered. "Do you stalk them?" Nick asked me in that annoying tone of voice he always used. "No. They're my friends. Is it weird that I know where my friends were going and when?" I responded. "How can they be your friends when they hardly ever talk to you?" Nick wondered. "Porter invited me here didn't he?" "Well that's just because he wants to get into your pants."
Jessica walked further into the cabin and sat on the couch by the fireplace. She tried her best to ignore the argument between Nick and I that escalated into something dirty. She didn't need to be hearing it.
"Something must be wrong!" I stated, completely ignoring Nick's last remark. "Maybe they stopped somewhere before coming here." Jessica suggested. "For five hours?" I asked. "I guess you're right." Jessica replied. "We have to go look for them!" I demanded. "Where would we look?" Nick asked "And why is it our job to find them?" "We…. We just have to find them!" I shouted. "Why?" "Because" "Because why?" Nick inquired. "Because they are my friends and I care. Plus I care about one of the guys in particular because I'm in love with one of them." I finally blurt out the secret I had been keeping for months.
Nick and Jessica were speechless. They just stared at me in shock. "Yeah, I'm in love with one of them." I repeated. I tried to hold back the tears as I continued to speak, "If something happened to him, or any of them for that matter, and I did nothing to help, I… I wouldn't be able to live with myself." "So you're planning to potentially risk your life for a guy who hardly ever talks to you and most likely already has a girlfriend be cause you are 'in love' with him?" Nick wondered looking at me like I was completely crazy. I can tell he thinks this is stupid.
"Hey, I'm not the only one who's in love here." I say with a smirk. Nick and Jessica both had those looks of confusion they wore so well and so often. "Nick, I know you love Jenna." "I don't love Jenna per se, I just think she is really smart, funny, sweet, beautiful and-""See what I mean?" I say to Jessica. "Ok fine, you're right. I'm in love with Jenna." Nick finally admits. "You guys are forgetting one little detail." Jessica began. Nick and I look at her questionably. "Look." She continued as she pointed outside. "It's already dark out. If we leave to look for them now we might be the ones who get lost."
"She's got a point, for once." Nick reluctantly said. "Let's stay here for the night. We can leave in the morning." "But-"I say trying to come up with a good argument. Nothing comes to mind and I realize they are right. "Fine, we sleep here tonight, but we leave first thing in the morning." I demanded. "You never know Reanna, they might show up tonight." Jessica said reassuringly. I really wanted to believe her, but something inside me knew she wasn't going to be right.
