27. In the woods

"Hesnah which place is this?" I am getting worried because we are getting deeper and deeper to some remote place that looks like a forest.

Hesnah's boyfriend dropped us here returned back to Brooklyn. But weren't that far away from Brooklyn because it just took us something like forty minutes to get here.

"Why can't you just follow me in silence and stop yelping yelping?"

"How can I just keep quiet when I don't even know where we are going? And for crying out loud, the place looks so creepy!" I exclaim scanning the place more closely, the deeper we get, the taller the trees get and the thicker the bushes. "Who on earth are you going to meet here? Your hidden mafia boyfriend who we don't know?"

"Jesus Tleigh, just even for a minute, shut your beak up." She sounds exasperated and am the one who's more exasperated , one, my six inch heels aren't helping me, two; my feet are burning and three, my legs are almost giving out on me!

I snort. I can feel my night time anxiety kicking in, I can also hear crickets chirping, a lot of them. And I can hear the leaves of the trees brushing against each other, as if the trees are whispering to one another.

A slight breeze picks up and now I hear the sound of water falling, like from a high place.

"Wow!" I exclaim excitedly looking at the lake in front of us in awe. And indeed there's a waterfall too.

"This way." Hessy brushes me off pulling my hand roughly as she turns to left.

"Slowly Hessy, aye!"

To the direction where Hessy is leading me to, I see a big fire crackling ahead of us. I pull my hand away and run towards it not caring a bit who this fire belongs to.

Wait, looking around, I see five tents, wow. So Hesnah planned this with her friends I see. I had once told her that I've never camped before, so this means---

"Happy birthday Tleigh!" Loud voices bombard in unison.

And then I freeze in front of the crackling fire. Surrounding me are almost all my close friends!, Tiffany, camille, Jelton and Dubel.

"Tell me am dreaming." I finally find my voice but it literally comes out as a whisper.

"We're very real!" Tiffany jumps laughing. Like she's itching to cross the gap between us.

Tears are threatening to stream down my cheeks, they're welling up in my eyes way to quickly, blinding me.

"Come here, y'all." I swipe a finger across my eyes then I open my arms. Tiffany and Cam screams running into my arms and they both engulf me in a bear hug squealing excitedly.

"Bitch." Cam pouts after pulling away. "I missed you and you've cut weight, huh."

"I missed you too. All of you." I whisper looking at the boys.

"Babydoll." Morgan pulls me into his arms then he whispers into my ears, "Happy birthday doll. Welcome to the adult world."

"You're so silly." I pull away and then Dubel hugs me lightly, then Jelton hugs me, both of them wishing me a happy birthday on the process.

"Happy now?" Hesnah steps closer to me after everyone has chilled.

"Thank you!" I wrap my arms around her.

"That's not enough, there's more. I'm sorry Tleigh if you'll not like my ide--" Before she even finishes her statement I see another shadow reflected by the light from the fire.

Pulling away, I turn around, but what I see next, I wasn't prepared for it.

Shock of the day!

I see him in all his glory, just about three feet away from me. Standing rock stone, not moving. Has he been there,all this time?
