Shattered Asylum

Chapter 25

I am currently sitting in Grayson's car shitting bricks. I decided to go and start opening up a little more. I want to make new memories with new people and finally move on from my past.

I am starting to regret my decision the further away we get from Forks. "Where are we going again?" I thought this trip would've been maybe a twenty minute car ride.

We have been driving for over an hour leaving our town behind. "We are going to Grim rock lake in Paradise." I have no clue where that is.

"How far away is that?" I pull out my phone to text my grandparents where I am headed. I just told them it would be around the area.

That's what I get for deciding last minute. "It's a two and a half hour drive." I widen my eyes, I should've said no. I'm going to die with people I've only known for two months. "Don't worry. You're safe with me." He gives me a warm smile.

"Did I say anything... bad last night?" He asks. He has sunglasses on, hiding the sun from his eyes. I feel my cheeks warming. "N-No." I stutter. I don't want the car ride to get awkward. "I got so drunk last night, I can't remember what I did." He says, fixing his hat.

And it's going to stay like that.

We got to the lake around 11 p.m. We got here last and everyone was already setting up. I take out my suitcase and grab my blanket and pillow before heading towards the campsite.

Vinnie brought a RZR and a four wheeler. Ethan was helping him unload them. Noah was taking out coolers, putting ice in them. He takes out at least ten cases of beer, dumping them in one of them.

I place my suitcase on the ground, draping my blanket and pillow on top before helping the girls put up their tents. Once we were done setting everything up, I put my stuff in Nora's tent, she offered to share her tent since she wasn't paired with anyone.

Everyone decided to go swimming since it was such a nice day out. I put on a shirt to cover the scars on my back and throw some shorts on before going out to let Nora get changed. Once she was done we go down to the old doc.

She jumps into the blue-ish green water, submerging a few moments later. I sit at the edge, putting my feet in while looking down at the water. I can tell it's pretty deep already, I wouldn't be able to reach if I fell in.

"Are you so poor you don't own a swimming suit?" I hear Madison ask behind me. I flip her off, causing a scoff to come from her lips. Who invited her anyway? I know it wasn't Nora.

The doc starts shaking as Vinnie runs past us, belly flopping into the water. I wince, hearing the smack his stomach made.

Noah jumps in after him splashing water on me. He gives me an apologetic smile before swimming after Vinnie.

Ethan runs with a screaming Kristina over his shoulder jumping in. Grayson comes and stands by me. "Are you getting in?" When I shake my head, he smirks at me and takes his hat off, putting it on my head.

"Keep this dry for me." He says before diving perfectly into the water. I watch them splash and play water games. I now know why people like camping. It's nice getting away from everything. This place has thick pine tree's and mountains that go on forever. You can smell the pine tree's and a hint of wet wood.

There are so many trails you can take, whether that be hiking or riding in an automobile. I've already seen so many animals driving here.

I was worried about bears but Grayson said they've never seen one. That didn't really ease my mind but at least there's a good amount of people here, we could probably scare it off.
