The fish was the worst meal I ever had - Well i not really I once ate 2 week old spaghetti noodles because i had two of them in the fridge. One was old and one was fresh but dumb me couldnt make out which one which one was. Well I probably could If i had been sober ( I wasn't ). - Not because the Fish was bad but it wasn't seasoned. Only some lemon Eli had picked up from a lemon tree.
,,Well, I'm usually a good cook but without Salt and spices nothing can go ,, Theo said.
,,Mhh so you're a cook?, Amy said like she was about to eat him up, are you European? ..
,,My mother was Italian and my dad .. well nevermind,, He said before Amy interrupted him ,, Mh. Well I love Italian men, You know. Such a snack.,, He
gave her a fake smile and secretly rolled his eyes.
I noticed something is up with him. Maybe he doesnt want to talk about his father.
He quickly stood up and made his way to the woods. Something's wrong.
,,Where you going bro? ,, Noah asked.
,, Fresh Air,, Theo answered, before he vanished behind the trees.
,,But we're out in nature?,, Amy obliviously said.
Sometimes she so stupid I want to smack her and maybe get some sense out of her head.
Not sure I'f that's possible.
No one said something after that serious dumb statement.
Noah and Eli were giggling and very touchy. Their personalities match.
Unlike like Johnny and Violet. They seem to be hating each other but I know they already have something going on. A stupid loud social guy with the mysterious ironic funny girl. That's the perfect match
I was a bit bored by the lovers.
It was already so late I didn't want Theo to be alone at this time. Especially if he is on a desert Island.
So I followed him.
☆☆☆☆☆☆
I couldn't see him nor hear him but I saw fresh footsteps. I choose them to be my navigator.
It was very tropical climate and so many insects and spiders.
I rushed through the woods until I heard water splashing.
Am I already on the beach. Have I been running in circles? Is the group swimming in the sea? No couldn't't be because I didn't hear any voices. I came nearer and behind that one big leaf Mother nature revealed a beautiful waterfall and a tiny lake.
It looked like in a movie. Wow. I was speechless.
,,You found the secret paradise, Welcome a voice behind me said.
My instincts told me to jump when I heard them.
I turned around and saw Theo.
,,There you are, I said, Have you been hiding?,,
,,From Amy. That monster. yes.,, he said frightened
I chuckled and watched him take a cigarette out of his pockets and light it.
I remembered him saying he only smoked when he isn't feeling good.
,,What's wrong? ,, I asked him
We said down on a big stone.
,,Why would you assume something would be wrong? ,, he returned a question.
I pointed to the cigarette and he said,,Ah you remembered. Yes well I don't usually talk about him. You know, my father. Be was a bit fucked up., he pointed to his head and mimicking a crazy person.
I didn't know what to say so I just listened.
He would always come home drunk and hit my mom until she left for Italy when I was 12. Then it was only him and me. It was harder without mom and he would drink everyday after 'work'. I knew he wasn't working because I once skipped school to follow him. He had this place. Weird place it was a bar and ...,,
He didn't want to continue.
,, I don't even know why I'm telling you this. It's nothing really you should go it's late. Don't wanna miss out your beauty sleep. ,,
I gave him a rude look
He immediately corrected himself ,, Not like you would need It. I mean-.. I don't know. Ugh I'm tired. ,, He sounded frustrated and nervous
,,It's okay, I responded, You coming or sleeping under the waterfall? ,,
He didn't say anything but followed me back to the beachside.
,,Can you not tell the others about.. you know thi-,,
,, Don't worry, I interrupted, I won't say anything.
I gave him a comforting smile and he quickly looked away but I could see him blushing and his lips rising.
