"You're what?"
"I'm sorry, Andy. You're starting to put your own needs before your campers. I'm protecting them, that's my job."
I stand there, feeling the familiar sting behind my eyes. My eyes stay locked on the ground and I feel Sydney look at me.
"Andy, I really am sorry. I have to split you and Niall up. Don't worry." She sits down next to me, and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Get your hand off of me!" I think, but dare not say. I was kind of liking the Irish boy now, he was interesting.

His worried eyes dart up to meet me and he immediately grabs my face in his hands.
"What's wrong? Was it bad? Did she hurt you?" He shouts out to me. I offer a light smile at his dramatics.
"I'm fine, Niall." I decided sense Sydney wanted us apart, I was going to be bitter about it. He enters the building, air conditioning rushing out on my body.
