PHILIP! (A Philip Hamilton Story)

Chapter 34: Camping

A/N: this will be a fluffy chapter of Theo and Pip on a camping trip. They are also 16 now.

Theo POV:

I was sitting shotgun in Pips convertible.the wind blew through my hair as we drive along the long, winding country roads.

"Piiiiipppppp... where are we going?" I asked, very annoyed that he wouldn't tell me.

He smirked at me. It sent a chill down my spine but I liked it. Eventually, he turned into some kind of parking lot by a lake. My eyes widened as I saw the beautiful scene before me.

I saw the sun setting over the dark grey water; the trees, swaying in the wind; and a big tent with a picnic table in front of a fire pit.

Camping!?

I smiled at Pip. Finally I get to see him get down to earth. I thought.

I scoped out the grounds for a bit.

Hmmm. Was all I could think while looking out at the docks.

All of a sudden, I felt Pips muscular hands push me into the freezing cold lake.

"PHILIP HAMILTON!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!" I screamed at him. He laughed and helped me out of the lake. I shivered, now realizing I was in a T-shirt, that was now soaking wet and frozen.

I guess Pip noticed because he gave me his hoodie. How romantic.

I hugged him, trying to warm up. Right as I felt him melt into my touch, I pushed him off the dock and into the lake.

I laughed until I didn't see him come back up.

"PHILIP!??!?" I screamed, my voice cracking.

Something came up behind me and grabbed my waist. I screamed until I felt them kiss my cheek.

Philip... I thought.

"YOU SCARED ME!!!!" I yelled and swatted at his arm.

He chuckled softly until he realized I was fuming at him. He held me in a tight hug until we both warmed up and calmed down.

I loved him so much. Why can't our dads see that? All they care about is their stupid rivalry.

"We're not like our dads...right?" I asked him out of this blue.

He looked me straight in the eye. "Theo, you and I weren't around our fathers often so of course we're not like them! We were raised by our mothers and that is who we will always be! And we'll tell their story." He said.

How am I still becoming more attracted to him!? I thought.

I sighed, remembering my mom.

~flashback~

My dad walked into my room, crying.

"Where is mommy?" I asked.

He looked so... disappointed and heart broken. I knew exactly what happened.

"..oh..." was all I could say before he was wrapping his arms around me in a tight hug.

~End of flashback~

I sobbed into Pips chest. I missed my mom so much and he, somehow, understood what I was feeling.

The feeling of abandonment. He rubbed my back and told me we could make smores!! I LOVE SMORES!!!!!!

I wiped my tears and made my way to the fire pit where Philip was trying to start a fire. He was failing.
