Dominique's POV :

We're sitting around A Small Bon-fire having marshmallow sticks and we're talking about life and getting a chance  to know Joshua better , because he's practically a stranger .

So uhm , Josh , can I call you Josh , Coco asked.

We all chuckled including Joshua or should I say Josh.

So Josh do you have a Girlfriend, Wife ,kids or do you have a Boyfriend?
There was some awkward silence ...

Ohhhhhkay !  Who wants to play Charades,  I broke the silence

yeah , Sure , Of course,  yeah charades is better ...

I have a better game we can play,  it's called HOUSE OF CARDS , I found it in the attic earlier today .

Joshua said  taking out a wooden rectangular box with rusty hinges ,

there are 10 cards in this box and we all get to pick one together with our eyes closed and we'll identify what's pictured , all together.

We gather around and everyone takes a card when I was about to take mine , my fleece caught fire and I got distracted, and didn't get a chance to take one for myself. 

Everyone else has a card except for me  and I'm not even paying attention because I Nearly burnt my hand-made Fleece which was a birthday gift from my mom.
 
They all read out their Cards Aloud 

Michael - RIVER
Brandon - TOMB
Lexus - VODKA
Coco -  SUPERNATURAL
Reed - WOLVES
Jake - VIRGIN MARY
Le'andria- SUPERNATURAL
Sam - PIT

We all laughed at Joshua's silly game  and all he says is , Dom , you didn't pick  a card ,

So didnt you , I replied .

everyone was quiet and  looking at us arguing about  whose supposed to pick a card .

Ey what's so important about these cards Josh , if Dom says , he's not picking a card , then he isn't , There ain't no need for you to force him to pick one , Michael said Defending me.

Everyone was Quiet and having their melting Marshmallows acting as if they didn't hear anything. 

Jake's POV :

There was some awkwardness around everyone and I just didn't want to be a part of it.

I stood up and told everyone  I'm off to take a piss , I walked away from them until I could only see the fire as a little flame , then I noticed I was deep inside the woods with the stars looking upon me , I unzip my chino and start peeing with this stupid card still in my hand , just when I was about to zip up my pants I hear footsteps.

Hello ... is there anyone there ? ... hello  ,
Deep down I want to know what's that but my palms are sweating and I just want to go back to the others .

I start walking back to the others and the footsteps pick up the pace sounding like they are approaching me , I start jogging  and the more I put on speed the more I hear the footsteps , from walking to running, I ran until I got to the fire , only to find out theres nobody there and the fire is now off , it's just some red charcoal remains 

I heard Lexus and Brandon call for me and I ran to where I heard the voices and I caught up with them .

Y'all didnt have to leave me behind,  I said to Lexus.
