Left out. . . {bxbxb}

chapter fifteen

"Come on. We've been looking for HOURS!" Jackson whined. "At least let us take a break!"

"Well, maybe you shouldn't have followed me out here."  Andrew snapped. Andrew would've preferred if Jack stayed at the tent. If Andrew got lost, at least Jack and Oliver would be safe at the tent. "Well, since you might be out here for a while, you want to tell me why you left the tent in the first place?" Jack asked.

Andrew's steps faltered. "Boyfriend problems, it's not that big of a deal..." he muttered. Jackson stopped walking. He glared at Andrew before speed-walking up to him and taking his hand. Andrew looked up nervously at Jackson, face flushing a light shade of red,  who was pulling Andrew through the trees. 

"Fuck him. Derek is an asshole." Jackson said finally. Andrew looked at the ground, still being lead through the woods by Jackson. "He's nice to me... most of the time," Andrew mumbled. "Andrew, dude, are you even hearing yourself? He should be nice to you ALL the time, not just mostly." Jack said, squeezing Andrew's hand.

"I know, but deep down, I know he really does love me..." Andrew said. "Your relationship is toxic as, and excuse my language, fuck." Jack sighed. "If only you could understand that and be with people who are better for you," Jack muttered that last bit, but Andrew heard. Was he implying himself and Oliver? Were they even over to a poly relationship? Why do I imminently think he's referring to himself and Oliver?? A million thoughts raced through his head before the worst, most awful, and dare I say it- terrifying thing happened to him.

He walked right into a spider web. 

Jackson seemed to have avoided it, even though he was leading the other. People probably halfway across the world could've heard Andrew scream. You see, Andrew had a huge fear of bugs. He would flip out anytime a simple fly flew too close to him. And as you would imagine, walking into a spider web was worse than death. 

"JACK! IS IT ON ME??" Andrew screamed, flailing his arms and running around. "Maybe if you stopped moving, I could check," Jack said, rolling his eyes. Andrew didn't feel anything on his back, so he decided he could stop moving. Out of the corner of his eye, Andrew saw Jack's eyes go wide. 

"Andrew, man, just... don't move, okay?" Jack said, getting what looks to be a branch off of the ground. "Jack... if you're planning on hitting me, I swear to God-" I began. "Andrew," Jack breathed. "Andrew, there is a big ass spider on your back, and it's too dark for me to identify what type it is. If you don't want to DIE of poisonous spider bites, I suggest letting me smack you with a stick. Jack said, holding the branch a bit above his head. 

Andrew froze. "There is a WHAT on my WHERE?!" He whisper-shouted. "Getifoffgetitoffgetitoffgetitoff" Andrew whispered. Jack was getting ready to take off the spider as Andrew brace for impact. But, all of a sudden, he felt a light tap on his back. "Uh, Jack? I thought you said it was a big spider? It can't be that big if a small tap like that killed it," Andrew said. 

Jack's eyes widened. "Kill it? Andrew, don't be silly, I merely transported the sweet, little creature to a tree, away from you," Jack said, smiling. Andrew gaped at his friend. "Jack, that 'sweet, little creature' kill you in your sleep," Andrew said, his heart calming down a bit from that horrible spider attack. 

"Wait, Andrew, do you see that over there?" Jack asked suddenly, pointing to a triangular-shaped figure. "It's a tent!" Andrew said excitedly. "But it seems smaller than the one we own..." Jack said, frowning. "Who cares? As long as no one's in it, we're good!" And with that, Andrew rushed off with Jackson running behind him.

Sorry that this took longer to get out than I had hoped-
I wanted to have a clear updating schedule but my time is so messed up. I've been feeling pretty bad about most of my work and I haven't been that satisfied with anything I'm writing. I have like three different fanfictions/stories in my drafts that I'm too nervous to post because even after many hours of editing and finding all the mistakes I don't like it. I do have a good amount of this planned for this story though so maybe I can get it together and actually complete this-

And holy shit, HOW many reads does this have??? I'll be 100% honest, I never thought anything that I've written would even come close to the number of views this has. I'm literally so thankful to everyone who's reading this story and enjoying it <3
