My First Ever Love

Ch-18, Happy To Be Back

Kiara's P.O.V

I wake up feeling the warmth. Warmth? in the forest? I bolt up, only to fall back due to the pain in my body. I rub my eyes and look around, I am in a tent. tent? Did they find me yesterday? When did I reach here? Who brought me here? All these questions were bugging me.

I am alone in this tent and I can't move with the intense pain in my body so I lay there thinking about yesterday.

I don't even know when I lost my consciousness. It was so dark there and the cool wind didn't help either. It was so frightening that I couldn't even try to move thinking I'll gain attention. I have never been so afraid in my entire life. I never want to experience something like that a-

I came back to present when someone came inside the tent, Aiden?, it was Aiden. He stopped near me and I jumped into his arms ignoring the pain searing through my arms and knee. I was so relieved to see someone I knew and I started crying thinking about everything, that time it was Aiden who helped me out. I was so happy to be back.

"Shh Kia, you're safe" Aiden cooed in my ear while I nodded and tightened my hold. He rubbed my back and I shivered a little due to the bruise. He immediately let go of me and sat me on the mattress.

"You okay?" He asked and I nodded as fresh tears started running down my eyes. He cupped my face and wiped my tears with his thumb. "It's okay, you're back" he says and I nod.

"Aiden is Kia awake?" Carrie asks as she enters the tent. She gasps and rush towards me and engulf me in a tight hug "Oh Kia, we've been so worried" she says. I wince a little more as her grip tightens. "Carrie, you're hurting her" Aiden states and she leaves me saying sorry. "Its ok, really" I told her as she apologized one more time.

"Does it hurt too much?" Carrie asks as she settles down beside me. "It did hurt like a bitch yesterday but now its a little better." I tell them and they chuckle a little. "Where is Julie?" I ask Carrie, "she has gone to bring your breakfast" she replies and I nod.

"You both sit here while I inform the professors that she has woken up." Aiden says getting up. I didn't want him to go due to the warmth he provided but I can't stop him.
"Professors? They know about my state?" I ask them, "yes, we informed them about you missing and then we went together to find you," he explained and I nodded. He then went out.

Carrie started telling me about how worried they were for me while I listened. Carrie stopped talking when Julie came in placing the food down and hugged me lightly. Thank god!

"How are you?" Julie asked me and I told her I'm fine. She handed me my breakfast and sat on the other side of me. I only realized then that I was hungry. I started eating my breakfast at a quick pace and Carrie chuckled.

"What?" I asked her and she shook her head. I shrugged and continued eating. It was yummy or maybe it felt delicious because I was hungry, either way I don't care. I kept on stuffing my face and once I was done, I burped, I know its not so womanly but I was with my girls so it didn't matter. They started laughing at my burp and I laughed with them. After having my breakfast and changing my clothes with the help of my girls of course, the boys came in and we spent our time chatting without any interruption from the bimbos.

I was lying in Aiden's tent, forced by my friends as they thought I need rest even though I told them I was totally fine, well...not totally fine but fine enough to wander outside. They left me here to die from boredom. I was thinking of something to do without getting up when Mr. Scott entered the tent with the others. Seriously? They all left me to fetch him? Oh god...

"How are you feeling Ms. Jones?" Mr. Scott asked me as he took a seat beside me. "I'm all good Mr. Scott" I told him smiling a little. "That's good then, I knew you weren't the girl to be all week, see you're looking so fresh" he informed me. I laughed a little at his attempt to make a joke.

"So, will you be okay if I ask you about yesterday's incident" Mr. Scott asked cautiously. I was a little uncomfortable but I thought for a moment, what bad could come, at least everyone is here so I won't have to repeat my little trauma hundreds of time. "Yes" I said softly and nodded my head.

"You went with Audrey right?" He questioned, "yes sir" I nodded.
"No one was with you except Audrey?" He asked again

"Yes sir"

"Okay...how did you end up so deep inside the woods?" He asked again. I told him everything except the part where she told me the reason of her doings. He nodded his head in understanding, "okay Ms. Jones, I'll leave you to rest" he says and stands up to leave.

The moment he left the tent I collapsed on the mattress wincing when pain shot through me. "Careful there" Julie says and I nod. I was not feeling well as the memories from yesterday covered my mind and before I knew I was crying.

"Kia, what happened? Are you in pain?" Carrie asks with concern. I shake my head but keep crying. "What is it?" Julie asks and I again shake my head, "n-nothing" I say and wipe my tears. "Okay...now take rest and stop crying Kia" Jeremy says and ushers everyone out except Aiden. "You okay?" he asks me and I nod but my eyes betray me as tears leak down my eyes.

"Hey! hey! why are you crying?" Aiden asks me while wiping my eyes with his thumb and I melt into his touch as I wanted comfort and he was giving it to me. "I just-- when Mr. Scott a-asked me ab-bout yesterday's e-event it b-brought m-memories I wa-ant to forget-t" I stuttered out.

"It's okay Kia, forget all of those and relax." Aiden told me hugging as I cry into his chest.
