"I told you this was a bad idea, we shouldn't have brought her!" Keith hissed, as we all wadded out of the water. It was obvious who he meant, and shrunk at the feeling that I was to blame for what happend...

Henry glared at Keith for a quick moment before grabbing one of the towels. "It's not her fault! If jack hadn't come along everything would have been fine! She's not a threat I don't understand why she has to be locked up inside!"

Amber handed me a towel and I gave her a small smile while Henry and Keith bickered. "Because it's dangerous!" He whispered.

"It's fine she was with us the entire time!"

"That's not what I meant!" Amber sighed before looking over at the two.

"We can still hear you, Ya know! Stop your whining we were caught okay no one got hurt let's just go back and find something else to do!"

Henry and Keith both sulked before completely drying off."geez... Men!... Sera let me dry your hair I don't want you getting sick."

"Sure... Um... Was I not supposed to leave the lounge?" She sighed before moving to sit behind me.

"Don't worry about it... It's honestly just a safety precaution... Oh...oh my..."

Glancing back at her, I could see amber was staring at my backside in shock. I had almost forgotten...i looked away, unconsciously hugging myself.

A long brutal scar marred my backside, nearly running all the way from my shoulder to my waist. "How did you..."

"It was a long time ago..." Amber was silent, she seemed to hesitate before drying my hair with the towel.

Henry walked over handing me my clothes which I quickly slipped on over the bikini. "We should head back before we do actually get into trouble."

Once we were finished, we hiked back to the lounge Keith and his friend left to go take care of something and amber went back to her parent's house, leaving me with Henry, I couldn't help but notice how his face flushed when she gave him a quick goodbye kiss on the cheek. No way...was he...

"You like her..." He froze at my words, before looking at me like I was crazy.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" A Cheshire grin spread across my face as I crossed my arms.

"It's all over your face! You totally have a crush on her!"

"Your delusional!" He walked over to the living area in an attempt to escape the subject but there was no way I was letting this opportunity slide, he had been teasing me all week with Damien now it was my turn for payback. "You're completely infatuated with her!"

"Don't say that! I-its not like that!" He spun on his heels to face me, nervously looking around.

"You do like her!" His hand shot out as he covered my mouth. "Shhh! Someone's going to hear you!"

Pulling his hand a way I couldn't help the small giggle that started to bubble up

"Ugg..so what, I do...care about amber...but you can't tell anyone! Especially her! Who knows how she'd react!" He stepped back before flopping down onto the couch.

I sat across from him as he buried his face into a couch pillow. "I think you're being overdramatic."

"Thanks for the support princess... Not like your one to talk, your boyfriend is in a coma, even if you professed your love to him right now he wouldn't be able to turn you away in a heartbeat. "
