CAMP

a very beautiful girl I missed.

My eyes snap open, and once again, i'm in this same wooden chair, my ankles tied to the legs of the chair and my wrists tied behind my back.

But my mouth is taped this time, not sure why. Can't remember shit, but my head hurts like fuck.

How much longer am I going to be here? I miss my friends. My screams muffle into the tape over my mouth.

My eyes droopy and half way open as a creak comes from the wooden door, My head shoots up to see stella. looking more beautiful than ever. my eyes fill with tears. holy fuck. I look at her body, her bright red nose and cheeks, her blue lips, from the cold snow. And her pale skin almost blending in with the snow.

All she's wearing is a scrappy tank top and shorts, how is she alive?

I let out some muffled noise into the tape over my mouth.

She steps over to me and tears the tape off my mouth.

I inhale deeply before shouting,

"what the hell are you wearing?! it's freezing out there!"

"shhhhh!" stella shushes me and covers my mouth with her small cold hand.

"it's quiet hours, so shhh..." stella whispers, dropping her hand from my mouth.

"how....how did you get here? how did you know where to go?" I murmur quietly and look down at the wrinkled up piece of paper she hands me.

what is this, a map?

I look down at it and see a small red trail that leads from the cabins at the camp cite, deep into the forest to this little wooden hut we're sitting in.

I point to the hut on the map, she looks over my shoulder.

"this..this is where we are." I say.

I see her shiver and nod, then reach up and press the back of my hand to her cheek. She flinches,

"holy shit, stells, your freezing" I say, my hand lingering on her cheek for a little too long.

"i k-know.." her teeth chatter, causing her to stutter.

I mutter curse words while grabbing her icy hands, trying to warm them up with mine.

"i'm ffffffine" stella says, her words slurring together.

"no stells-" i begin to say until i see her eyes drooping shut and her fragile body wobbling.

Suddenly, her body goes limp and falls,

"stella!-" i catch her in my arms.

Her eyes are clamped shut, and her cold body lays in my arms, i try and envelop her with my body heat.

how can a persons body get this cold?

I try and warm her up by holding her tight against my chest, then bend down and grab the map she brought with her.

I let out a breath and make my way out of the little hut. My eyes watery as I walk barefoot through the cold snow.

"stella!" I hear a voice shout, then drop to my knees as I see macy, paris and some other girl running up to me.

I look up at all of them, luke, brian, paris, macy and another girl with dark black hair.

Brian's eyes fill with tears and they roll down his cheek like a waterfall.

"m-man don't cry.." I murmur, stuttering from the cold.

"that's kind of impossible not to cry when i see my bestfriend holding my other bestfriend, bruised and wounded. asshole." He chokes out.

Well i definitely missed him.
