Project Camp with Sikowitz

Poison Ivy

Jade's POV

We ended spending a few more days but unfortunately Robbie ended up falling into a whole lot of poison ivy. Much to my amusement I still felt bad for him. Only just a little. It was his fault we were all playing a game of hide and seek mixed with tag it was fun. Until Robbie tripped and fell face first into poison ivy. There wasn't anything we could do so we all slowly walked back to camp. Thankfully Sikowitz was there because Robbie had already started to turn red and trying to itch his arms, face and neck. Sikowitz walked him back to the van while the rest of us packed.

Myself and Tori took care of packing up all the cooking supplies and the table. Cat grabbed the cooler thankfully it had wheels. Beck and André started taking the tents down. It took more then one trip since there was only 5 of us doing the work. Jade helped with my tent since Cat was letting the air out of their air mattress. By the time we were done we helped Cat with theirs. The boys finished with Sikowitz's tent shortly after. Once loaded up I found some Benadryl to kinda help until we made it back.

Sikowitz taped oven mitts to his hands so he couldn't itch himself. Robbie sat up front that way he wouldn't be able to touch anyone. Welp now we know that Robbie is highly allergic to poison ivy. André sat next to Beck and Cat is next to me with Tori on my other side. We finally start to doze off when we suddenly stop. Stupid traffic. At least we don't have to listen to Rex during the trip back. I kinda hope we get to do something like this again because it was the most fun I have ever had.

I definitely have to give Tori all the credit she helped me open my eyes. I think Beck has finally come to terms that we will never be anything more than friends ever again. I know I hurt him but we both made mistakes and hopefully we can learn from them. I wish him all the happiness in the world just not with me. I kinda can't wait to see everyone's reaction to Tori walking into school with my arm around her waist and hers across my shoulders. With how I treated her I wouldn't be surprised if they thought I would kill her out in the woods.

I could never do that I care way to much for her. After 2 hours of not moving Robbie woke up from his nap desperately trying to get the mitts off. I wish I had a tranquilizer dart I would knock him out again. After struggling for 30 minutes he fell asleep again. We still have a ways to go before we get back. Tori's beautiful voice cut through the silence as she started to sing something beautiful. I don't think I have ever heard this before. I wander if it's something she wrote herself. I feel myself get lost.

Tori singing

"From the first time I saw
You smile my heart melted
Just a little.

I feel my thoughts sore
Higher and higher.

Just as I raced into your loving
Arms my body trembled
With delight.

I feel my thoughts sore
Higher and higher.

I need you here.
I need you now
Take me into your heart
And let's sore together.
As I feel my thoughts sore
Higher and higher.

You are the light guiding
Me from my darkness.

As I feel my thoughts sore
Higher and higher."
Song is finished.

I was completely flabbergasted it was so beautiful. She looked into my eyes as she sang her heart out. My eyes started to water. It's been a full week and my heart feels like it's been a lifetime of loving her. everyone started to clap and cheer whereas Robbie tried to clap only to regret it. I chuckled a little as I seen him flinch but was brought out of my thoughts when Tori nuzzled my cheek. It just makes me wander what my life would have been like if I met her a long time ago. Here we are sophomores at Hollywood Arts high and I'm thinking of what could have been instead of will be. I kissed Tori on the lips and felt so very loved.

"What are you thinking about love?" Tori asked

"Our future what it will bring and what my life could have been if I had met you sooner." I said

"If I could have met you sooner maybe I could have been happier, even learn to love and trust again." I said

"I just have had so many people leave me that I gave up on everyone including myself. I hurt you, I hurt Beck and well I hurt just about everyone in my life."

"I still wasn't able to scare you off if anything you kept coming back trying to be my friend. My own thoughts told me I was better off alone." I said, feeling tears escape my eyes.

"I'm still terrified I will do something to hurt you but my love for you is stronger." I said

"Beck I'm sorry for using you and hurting you we both made mistakes but mine were far worse then yours." I told him

"I forgive you and I hope you both can forgive me for how I acted I'm ashamed of myself more than you will ever know." He said

"We forgive you but promise that you will learn from our past mistakes and move on. Find your own happiness." I said

"My love I know you are afraid to hurt me that's why I know that you won't. You are amazing, kind, gentle, and loving." Tori said

"I want you to follow your own advice. Find your own happiness. What happened in the past is just that the past. You are my future. You are my happiness." Tori said, with tears falling down her cheeks.

Tori's POV

I couldn't stop the tears to think she was still holding back on her feelings. I love that she finally was able to tell Beck how she felt and that she was truly sorry for hurting him. As well as Beck excepting and saying his own apologies. Hopefully now we can all move past this and map our future out together. With Jade by my side I feel as nothing can stop me. Definitely going to be fun shocking everyone at school. Hopefully they don't think Jade tried to kill me. I mean there was that one time in the desert but all she did was scare me a little.

I feel Jade rest her head on my shoulder. I finally finished the lyrics to the love song I wrote for Jade hopefully she liked it because it was my first time writing one by myself. I rest my head on top of hers and whisper in her ear all the things that i see for us in our future together. I just hope along the way marriage and kids will be something she wants. We still have time but it's nice to dream. This is our beginning. Our end has yet to come. The future is bright just as bright as the sun in the sky. I am brought out of my thoughts as I hear Jade saying something.

Jade's poem to Tori

"As I rest my head upon your
Shoulder I feel my dreams fly, fly
Into the sky to whisper a secret
To the moon. My love for you is
Never wavering. As I watch you
Go to sleep I know I will see you
Again. Our hearts beat as one
Through the endless cycle of
Life. I dream of you as I close
My eyes. Once I wake there you will
Be to wrap me in your loving
Embrace. Our future is now.
Our love is never dying.
Our true loves kiss is all I need
To wake from my slumber."
End of poem

"Wow love that was absolutely beautiful." I told her

"Thank you I figured since you sang such a beautiful song earlier that it was my turn." Jade said

"You really loved the song? It took me forever because I'm not the greatest at writing songs but I wanted it to be something only I wrote." I told her, with hope shining in my eyes.

"Of course I loved it baby it was beautiful. The fact you wrote it for me took my breath away." Jade said

"Your poem was beyond beautiful baby I loved it and I love you. Thank you so very much." I told her

"I love you more." Jade said

Author note: I wrote both the song and poem myself. I'm great with poems but songs tis was totally my first time. Please let me know what you think.
