The Promise

Chapter 3

We got back to camp to find Carly sitting with Paige obviously upset, I sighed and made my way over to where Nick was sitting, still slightly away from the group, he had one hand hanging down at his side holding a beer and the other holding a cigarette,
" Hey stranger," I said, taking a seat on his lap,
" Hey..." He muttered hands wrapping around my waist, I tilted his head up to look at me but he shifted his eyes down, avoiding my gazed,
"What's going on with you babe? Your picking fights with everyone, your constantly stressed and tense and you don't even talk to me anymore." I whisper running a hand through his hair,
" It's just, fuck it's Carly, she dimed me out! It was supposed to be me and her against the world and she dimed me out." Intense eye shot up to look at me, I sighed as I placed a kiss on his forehead before resting my head on his chest,
" you have to talk to her without causing an argument Nick, then you can actually explain what happened, and don't give me any of the bullshit that you can't tell her what happened because you can, your just so stubborn that you don't want to." Suddenly an awful smell blew across the camp, I buried my head in Nicks chest whilst he buried his in my hair,
" Dalton, you crap your pants again?!" Nick teased
"What? Nah, I dunno maybe I'm wearing my work clothes." He joked back,
I saw Wade shine his flash light towards the woods trying to figure out where the smell came from,
" ugh it's horrible," groaned Carly
" something's dead out there." Said wade moving his flash light around more,
" nah, something's dead right here, we need to drink it back to life, bless me dog." Blake said holding his hand out towards Nick who moved me slightly off his lap before grabbing a beer and throwing it at Blake. I sighed turning my face towards Nick again before mumbling,
" I love you,"
" I love you too baby girl." He said twirling his finger round a piece of my hair.
----------------------------------------------
It was about an hour later and we were all pleasantly buzzed, Nick had moved closer to the group and Dalton was filming everyone,
"Hi pretty Carly," he said as the camera flickered over her face, I smiled, everyone could see the massive crush Dalton had on her except Carly. I was sitting on Nicks lap, empty beer bottles scattered around us, he took a puff from his cigarette and blew smoke in ringlets into the sky, I laughed, as I took the fag out of his mouth, placed it to my lips and inhaled deeply,
"C'mon man, you ain't gotta spray it at me dude," Dalton whined jumping back as the spray of Blake's beer hit him and his camera,
" I'm just messing around man," Blake laughed in reply,
" Dalton what'd I say?" Carly said glaring at him, as he filmed her once again.
" Alright, my bad, my bad." He laughed pointing the camera at the ground, "what no it's off!" Dalton yelled as Carly chased after him,
" Your killing me with this thing, give me that... Oh and the tables turn." Carly laughed as she grabbed the camera off Dalton,
" No,no,no. C'mon don't..." He muttered turning his face away from her,
"Look how cute you are on camera, you look good," she giggled as Dalton backed away into a tent, " I think we might have to do a little makeover!" I yelled jumping up off of Nick's lap and joining Carly outside the tent, we laughed and giggled as we chose different outfits for him,
" What do you think?" I asked Paige,
" he looks like a smurf." She laughed in response,
" Your coming out," me and Paige said as we backed out of the tent, Daltons camera pointed towards the entrance.
" Na I don't know man, I don't know..." He trailed off,
"Yes!" I said with a laugh,
" If you don't I will be so mad, " said Carly, as Paige gave him a shove and he tumbled out, he was dressed in one of Paige's yellow tracksuit jumpers and a pair of her sunglasses with diamonds around the edges,
" Ha, look how good you look!" Laughed Paige as Dalton stood there awkwardly,
"He looks like Elton John but more gay," Blake teased
"Elton John is gay?" Dalton joked in reply,
" why don't you ever make me that pretty Carly?" Asked Wade as she made her way over to him, she sat on his lap,
" hi..."
"Hi," she replied, Dalton then noticed his camera hanging down next to Carly
" c'mon give me my camera babe," he said grabbing it out of her hand. I smiled at Paige before heading back over to Nick and sitting in his lap,
"Hey sexy," I whisper as I place a kiss on his lip, he moans quietly as he kisses me back hard and fast, we carry on making out until we heard Dalton make his way over, camera in hand, we quickly broke apart as Nick sent him a small death glare,
"Don't even think about it, I ain't kissing you dude," Nick joked looking up from underneath his hood,
" aw c'mon you know you want to," Nick grinned at Daltons reply,
"Haha, just kidding, psyche. I wouldn't kiss your ass for shit." I laughed at the boys messing. Suddenly a truck came over, bright lights shining in our eyes, I turned my face towards Nicks chest to avoid it,
"Yeah?" Yelled Wade
"Yo, you need something?!" Blake joined in,
" what does he want?" Carly asked, you could hear the nervousness in her voice,
"Hey can you turn off your lights please?" Wade yelled again,
"Okay this is getting kinda creepy..."
"Hey c'mon made get out of here, there's nothing to see here, let's go," Blake said obviously getting angry, I turned around to see what was going on just as Wade stood up and headed to the front of the group,
"Can we help you?" He snapped angrily
"Maybe we're on his property?" Asked Carly looking up at Wade,
"No, we didn't pass a gate." He replied,
"Hey man turn your lights off," Blake growled angrily standing up,
"Hey babe, get up a minute," Nick whispered in my ear,
"Nick..."
"It'll be fine." I sighed as I got up off his lap,
"I'm serious man turn your lights off or in whooping someone's ass," Blake yelled storming forward, Wade pressed a hand across his chest holding him back,
"It's alright, it's cool man." Wade said trying to calm him down.
Suddenly Nick stood up and threw his bottle at the car, it hit the headlight which immediately shattered into pieces,
"Nick!" Carly yelled staring at him with wide eyes, Nick then walked forward, barging past Wade slightly, he stood at the front of the group, his posture tense and angry, daring the person in the truck to do something.
"What?!" Yelled Dalton jumping out from behind him arms spread wide, I giggled slightly at his antics. Slowly the car began to reverse away from us,
"That was great, that was great dude!" Dalton said, admiration clear in his voice,
" Our man Nicks hardcore." Backed up Blake,
"What the hell was that about huh?" Carly hissed as she grabbed Nick's arm, he responded by yanking his arm out of her grip and making his way over to me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his face into the crook of my neck,
"You okay?" I whispered, wrapping my arms around his neck, he shrugged slightly,
"I hate seeing you uneasy," he mumbled, " He was scaring you."
I giggled slightly,
"I was fine Nick,"
"No you weren't, you were tense and you breathe different when your scared," I smiled slightly before pulling away from the hug,
"I love you,"
"I love you too." He said pressing a kiss against my forehead. I smiled at him before taking his hand and leading him towards our tent,
"It's late, if we're getting up early we might as well go to sleep," he pouted slightly,
"Just sleep?" He whined
"Unless you wanna get it on with Dalton there..." I trailed off
"Okay fineeeeee," he said before climbing into the tent with me, I quickly changed into a new pair of underwear and one of Nick's shirts, I lay down beside him pressing my face into his chest, he wrapped his arm around me pulling me close,
"Night babe." He whispered pressing a kiss to my forehead,
"Night." I mumbled, before closing my eyes and letting sleep take over.
