I wake up and Louis isn't there anymore. I get out of my tent and Louis still isn't there. I go into Liam and Niall's tent, and they aren't there. I go into Mya and Harry's tent and only find Mya so I wake her up. Then we go to Laura and Zayn's tent. We wake up Laura and there's no sign of Zayn. "Should we freak out?" Laura asks sitting down on a log. "No, I'm sure they're fine." I say. "Then where are they?!" Mya says. "They're fine. Maybe they went for a walk. Just be calm, guys." I say. I fix Mya, Laura, and I something to eat. We eat. Then Mya and Laura freak out. "WHERE ARE THEY, ARI?" Laura says. "I hope Harry's okay!" Mya says. "I'm sure they're-" I begin. I hear screaming and then I have water squirted in my face.
The water's cold. "WATER GUNS, READY. AIM. FIRE." Liam yells. And then we're all squirted with water. Laura, Mya, and I jump up. My hair's wet now. Liam squirts me and sticks out his tongue. "To make a fair game we got you girls some water guns too." Louis smiles handing me a water gun. "Don't worry it's filled and we have refill buckets somewhere around here." He laughs. I smile at him. Mya and Laura get their water guns. Then the battle begins. We start wetting each other and in a few minutes I'm completely soaked. We play with the water guns for a couple hours and then we sit down on the logs. We sit like we did last night. Niall and Liam are across from Louis and I. I squirt water in Liam's mouth. He swallows. "Nice shot." He laughs.
"You know, you're soaked. And I'm pretty much dry." Louis laughs at me. I smile and roll my eyes. "You know, you are absolutely right." I say. I hold out my arms. At first he hesitates and then he hugs me. He kisses my head. "You're cold, Nemo." He says. He scoots closer to me and keeps his arm around me and I start to warm up. Now he's wet, too. But he doesn't seem to care. "Can we explore?" Laura asks. "Sure." Harry says. Laura gets up and runs into the other side of the woods. Zayn runs after her. Harry and Mya walk off. Then Liam and Niall go different ways into the woods. I stand up. Louis stands up too. "Can I walk with you?" I ask. He puts his arm in mine. He smiles at me as we start walking. We walk through the clearing and get in the other side of the woods.
"I wanna try something." I say, as we get deeper into the woods. "What?" He asks. I slip my arm out of his and I grab onto a tree. I put my foot on a branch and climb up. "Aria. Aria, stop it! You might fall!" He says. "If I fall, I fall." I say. "But.. Aria, just get down here." He says. "Okay." I say. I start to pull away from the tree and he freaks out. "Don't jump!" He says. I climb up higher and sit on a branch. "See, I'm fine." I say. "Okay, well can you just get down? You might hurt yourself." He says. "And that would matter how?" I ask. "We care about you. I care about you. I don't want you to get hurt." He says. "Fine." I say. I stand up and jump to the other tree. I can tell he's freaking out. I jump off the side behind a bush. "Aria!" He says. I pop up. He runs over and hugs me. "Come on, Aria. Enough being a monkey-squirrel." He says. I smile and we walk around.
We jump on stumps and over rocks. It start getting later. We find a lake at the end of the woods. We sit down and put our feet in the water. The sun's going down. "Sad we have to go home tomorrow." He says. I start thinking about everything. I look at Louis. This couldn't really be happening, could it? What were the possibilities I had spent like a week with One Direction, and had been Louis's girlfriend from just a party? What if this was one long dream? "This may sound completely stupid. But am I dreaming?" I ask. "Why would you think you're dreaming?" He asks. "Me, regular old Aria Bell, being best friends with One Direction and dating the Louis Tomlinson?" I say. "Okay," He says. I look at the sky. The sky's always beautiful when the sun sets. He touches my face and I look at him. He kisses me. Then he smiles, "You are not dreaming. This is real. Us- We're real."
We walk to the clearing holding hands. Everyone's there. We sit on our log. "Where were you two?" Laura smiles at me. "Aria was being a monkey-squirrel." Louis says. "I was not." I say, smiling. "What did she do?" Liam laughs. "She climbed the tree, jumped to the other tree and jumped off behind a bush." Louis says. Laura laughs. "But you see, I'm fine, aren't I?" I ask. Louis smiles at me. We're all dry now. Laura start the campfire even though it's not really a camp. Then I get us some food and we eat. "What are we doing tomorrow?" Niall asks. "Going home. To RELAX." Mya says. Harry kisses her. After a little while longer we put out the fire and we all lay down. "Good-night, love." Louis says, closing his eyes. He takes my hand. I close my eyes. "Good-night, Louis." I say. Then I go to sleep dreaming about Louis.
