Stuck in Camp Rivers

Stuck in Camp Rivers - Chapter 27

I'M SORRY GUYS FOR THE LATENESS.

But....guess what? This is the last chapter before the last chapter before the Epilogue. LOL does that make sense? Okay...so there will be this chapter, then Chapter 28, then chapter 29 which is the epilogue. I might throw in a "special" chapter just to add a chapter 30 LOL. I mean....why stab someone 29 times when you can stab them 30 times right?

But yeah.

Anyways, enjoy who ever's actually still reading the story! Mwuahhh!

Chapter 27.

　

I never thought coming to a summer camp would change my life. Hell, I never thought it would make me want to change. I never thought I would laugh, or cry....or even make friends like the ones I've made. Being in Camp Bradford made me realise that people actually do care about me, people actually do like me.

I'm not heartless, I have feelings just like everybody else. I've made mistakes, but I am yet to fix them and I will try to make things better because that's really all I can do - try. I'm not perfect, I have flaws. I have my own problems and issues, but I've learned that I'm not the only one. Everything I do today affects me tomorrow, whether I'm aware of it or not.

As I'm here laughing and dancing with people at the lake, I finally feel normal. I finally feel like I have a purpose, and although I would have never admitted it a month ago -- it's all thanks to these people. Bonnie, Sabrina, Peyton, Molly, Jane....and Spencer.

As Bonnie's laugh echoed in my ears I found myself looking over at him over at the bonfire. He was dancing with some random girl, proably someone he didn't know personally. Feeling my eyes on him, he slowly looked over at me.

And smiled.

Instead of flipping him off or rolling my eyes like I would have done a month ago, I returned the smile, and shook my head chuckling as I turned back to my cabinmates who were dancing together.

Rebellion by Arcade Fire blasted through Jane's Ipod dock, and everyone was getting lost in the song. Nobody was fighting with each other, or swearing or giving dirty looks. Everyone was friends tonight. It was almost strange seeing, and even when Katrina and I made awkward eye contact I could have sworn I saw her lips twitch into a small smile before she looked away. I'm talking a real legitimate smile too, one that clearly said she was done with hating my guts.

And I guess the feeling's mutual.

The counsellors were all partying with us tonight. Some of them even helped set up lights and whatnot, deciding a curfew didn't matter anymore. Jane and Ryan seemed to be getting along pretty well by the way they were making out and hugging each other. I smiled, happy for Jane's happiness. It felt weird feeling happy for someone else, but it sure did feel nice.

"I love your smile," a familiar voice whispered into my ears, startling me. I laughed and turned my head to see Kyle smirking down at me.

"Kyle!" I shouted, wrapping my arms around his neck, almost surprised to see him here. "I thought you died or something!"

"Yeah Kyle," Bonnie chuckled. "Where have you been hiding bro?"

"I've been sick," he shrugged. "I've been in bed most of the time, drowning myself in misery."

Sabrina poked him in the chest. "Aw you poor thing. You alright now though?"

"Yeah, I'm alright," Kyle smiled. "Are you?"
