(Cheryl's POV)


"Cheryl,that's not your tent." I turn round to see who was talking to us.

"No Fearne? Really?" I say sarcastically.

"Why are you in Simon's tent then?"

I roll me eyes, "I came up to get his towel and some dry clothes."

"Whys he wet? he went down after you completely dry."

"He was stood to close to the water when he was talking to us and he got a bit wet."

I grab the last of what I needed to get and got up out the tent.Most of them were watching us,

"What? am I not allowed to come and get his stuff anymore?"

There was no answer,so I just walked off.Then I heard Alisha,

"Will you all just lay off of her a bit.She's a really nice girl and all your doing is questioning her! I know why your doing it and it's not fair,just give them both a break,it's up to them what they want from their friendship!"

I had to smile,she was definitely a true friend,she didn't say a word about what she already knew.I walked down to where Simon was sat and sat next to him.We sat in silence for a while until we heard our names being called.I looked over at Simon and smiled,

"Alisha will be down in a minute,you can hear her from a mile away!"

We both started laughing and just as I presumed,Alicia appeared from round the corner.

"Simon,Cheryl,we're leaving in twenty minutes and they want us to pack our stuff away now."

Simon looks at Alisha, "Alisha,wait for Cheryl," she nods.He then looks at us and says "go on up,I'll be up once I've got changed."

I give him a peck on the lips and we both stand up.

"Oh Simon." I whisper.

"Yes?"

"In your tent somewhere,me underwear is in there from last night."

"Why are they in my tent?"

"I couldn't find them this morning and I had to move fast.Just don't let anyone see them,pack them in your bag and I'll get them back later."

When he said okay to us,I walked over to Alisha to go and pack me stuff for the next part of the climb.


We were all slowly moving up the mountain,it was getting more steeper as we were going up.It's so hard to breathe at the moment,it would be fine if I was just sitting around,but I'm finding it so hard to walk like this.

We're only about an hour away from our new base,but we have been told we can stop for a bit to catch our breath.I sit down on the floor looking out at the beautiful view.

"You okay sweetheart?"

"mmm I'm tired,I'd rather just carry on walking and then rest when we get there." He kneels down behind us and wraps his arms around me waist.I lean back into him and give him a kiss.He pulls away slightly,

"Cheryl,someone could come round the corner you know."

"I know,but I don't care anymore!" He gives us a laugh and takes one of me hands.

"Seriously though Si,are you happy?"

"Of course I am Cheryl,I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time."

"This is why I don't care Si,we're both very happy,we both love each other and most of them probably know quite a lot because Chris obviously won't keep his mouth closed."
