Jungle Girl

16

I take hold of my knife and cut the rope that is holding the roof together and it opens slowly and I look up as so do the girls "oh" "my" "god" "wow" "it's beautiful" I nod agreeing and this is one of the reasons I built this room so I can stay safe and look at the sky and I sit down and the girls look at me so I lay down looking up at the sky and they copy me with Mila on my left and Lauren on my right

I could see Lauren looking up at the sky and I look down and see her hand so I take hold of it making her look at me so I look up at her and smile making her smile back at me holding my hand intertwining our hands together

She then looks back at the sky but I keep my eyes on her seeing her eyes sparkle with a little help from the stars making me lean over to her and kiss her cheek for some unknown reason but I felt like I should of done it so I did and this makes her smile and looks back at me as I pull back before looking away from her at the sky in a comfortable silence

"I wonder if our families are thinking of us" Mila says making us all look towards her "I sure they are" I say making her look at me with a sad look in her eyes "I sure they looking for you... All" I add and she smiles at me gratefully "thanks y/n/n" she says and I hear Lauren sign need to me like it was a sad one making me look at her and see her looking sad so I squeeze her hand

"They... Care much for you and they will be looking" I say making her look at me and huff with a little smile "thanks" she says making me smile "but we need to work on your grammar for the time being" she says making Mani chuckle and Dinah giggle with Mila nodding "amen" Ally adds and I'm not sure what grammar is but I'm not to bothered at the moment as I think they mean how I speak so I just look back at the sky as we all lay here for a few minutes until I could hear snores so I look and see four of the girls on my left asleep so I sit up and look at Lauren seeing her still looking at the sky

"I be back" I say standing up letting go of her hand and walk out the room grabbing the girls blankets as they might get cold during the night so I walk back in and cover the with the blankets as they sleep and Lauren watch me as I do before I go back over to her with another blanket and sit down next to her covering her with it and me then lay down looking back at the sky and she rolls over to me and cuddles my side still looking at the sky in a comfortable silence

We watch as a few stars twinkle before I break the silence "can you tell me about you family?" I ask and she looks up at me as I look down at her and she slowly starts to smile before rolling onto her front as she was on her back and she rest her chin on me "well, I have a brother and sister both younger then me" she says and I nod feeling her that I am listening

"Chris my brother, Taylor my sister, my mum Clara and dad Mike" she says but then the smile starts to fade into a frown making me frown "I miss them so much" she says with a small tone so I wrap my arms around her trying to comfort her "I'm not going to see them again am I?" Lauren says with glossy eyes witch makes me sad to see her upset "one day you will" I say making her lift her eyes to mine

"We will get you all back to family" I speak and she huff a little like it was a laugh "how?" She asks and I look away at the sky taking a breath thinking "we search" I say then look back at her "we search looking for them no matter the far" I say as I would do anything for this woman to make her happy even if it means going back to the outside world

"Really?" She asks and I nod softly "yeah" I say and she smiles at me a little "will you come with us? If we find our way back to civilization?" She asks and I don't know what that word mean but I think I know what she is say and I look away from her "I... Don't know" I say and I can see her frown from the corner of my eye "me grow here, I like here" I answer and she nods before signing softly

"But I like be with you" I add looking back at her and she looks at me "you like being with me?" She ask and I nod "lots and lots" I say witch makes her smile at me "I like be with you too... Lots and lots" she says coming my way of speaking witch makes me smile at her and pull her closer by her waist witch makes her chuckle cutely at my actions

"Lauren" I say quietly and she nods and hums at me "hmm" I know I've only know here for mouths but "I... Really like you" I admit with a letting nervousness witch I haven't really felt until I met Lauren and her smile grows while looking at me in awe "I really like you too y/n" she says truthfully making my heart flutter and pound against my chest at her words and I couldn't help but admire her as she is on top of me and the stars are behind her witch makes it even better
