Behind The Wheel

xxiv - Love Doesn't Exist

"FRANCISCO, HOW MUCH LONGER?" DEMI asks as they walk through the trees, trying to avoid tripping on random sticks or rocks.

"We are almost there babe!" He says from the front of the group and Rita scowls beside her.

"My feet hurt," She grumbles and Demi rolls her eyes at her, then looks over at Spencer and Haruki. They were talking about something in Japanese, Demi also learn that Spencer could speak Japanese really well.

Right now, the five of them were walking up a trail to Francisco knows where. He says it was a surprise and that they were gonna have a fun time.

"And we're here!" He says, swatting some tree branches away to come into a clearing. In front of them was a river, stretching down the place with soft currents of water, it looked really peaceful and beautiful. Australia was really beautiful, that's for sure.

"Woah," Demi says, coming to a stop as she looks around, her eyes taking in the green trees, clear water and bright blue skies.

"And it's all ours," He smiles at her before running forward, dropping his bag to the rocky ground and taking off his shirt before diving into the river. Demi and Rita look at each other and grin. They ran after him, dropping their own bags on the floor and stripping down to their bikinis before diving into the river also.

Demi surface, smiling as she push her wet hair back just in time to see Haruki grab a vine, up in a tree, then swung forward and let go of the vine, making a backflip before hitting the water.

Demi cheered at him as he surfaces, grinning at them. Demi then notice that Spencer was the only one that wasn't in the river. She turns and looks at Spencer, who was sitting on a rock and watching them with amusement.

"Come on!" Demi waves her over. "The water is just fine!" She says but Spencer shakes her head, smiling sheepishly.

"I can't swim!" She says and Demi gives her a look, watching from the corner of her eye as Francisco tackles Haruki into the water while Rita climb up the small waterfall, wanting to jump down into the water from that high.

"What the hell do you mean you can't swim? Why don't you know how to swim?" She asks her and Spencer shrugs.

"No one ever taught me!" Spencer says and Demi rolls her eyes, motioning Spencer to come to her.

"Come here then, I'll teach you." Demi says, walking over to the edge of the river. She hears a splash from somewhere behind her, probably of Rita. Spencer's face lit up as she looks at Demi, excitement cross her features.

"Really?" She squeaks.

"Yeah," Demi nods. "get your ass over here."

Spencer jumps off her rock and takes off her shirt, throwing it to the side then taking off her shorts, leaving her in a two piece bikini. She walks over to Demi quickly, a grin on her face.

Demi smiles at her before turning around and walking in a bit deep into the river, Spencer following her close by. The water reach their hips as Demi turns around.

"Okay so we are gonna go in a bit more deeper so-" Demi stops as Spencer jumps on her back, arms wrapping around her neck and legs going around her waist.

"On second thought, I don't think this is a good idea, just bring me back to the rocks." Spencer says, a tint of fear in her voice as Demi walks in deeper so the water reach her chest. She stops there and smirks.

"What? Scared? Come on, I won't drop you."

"It's not that it's just, what if I drown?"

"Spencer, this is like four feet, I won't let you drown."
