AUTHOR'S NOTE: Heyyy, I'm really sorry I didn't get to upload, the place I was in didn't have free wifi, or computers I could use to write anything. Sorry about the long wait... for a really short chapter. Don't worry, I write fast since I'm back now!

Chapter 13:

When I finally lift my head, the stars appeared above my head. I feel my stomach growling, but I ignore it. It doesn't matter, what matters is what I should be doing now. Where can I go? I haven't really got anything other than the few things I stuffed in the bags.

I just sat still, pondering what to do when I heard voices.

"Where could she be?"

"Somewhere in here, I saw her take off in this direction."

I quickly get up hide behind my tree, and I see it is Gemma, Tarin and Cameron. I don't want them to find me; it'll only bring them trouble. I need to get out of here. I was about to sneak away quietly when I noticed Cameron was missing all of a sudden. What if he sees me? I can't think a second longer, I must leave now.

I back away from the tree, my eyes still on Gemma and Tarin, and then I bump into something hard and warm. I shriek. Suddenly, warm hands cover my mouth. "Shhh...be quiet."

I recognize the voice, and I freeze. Ugh, he found me. I closed by eyes, is there any way I could escape? But I didn't want to, with his warm back pressed against me, his arms around me, I felt safe and protected. But I knew it was not just me at stake here, if this gets out, Cameron would be done too. No, I must go.

I try to wriggle free, but he's too strong for me. I sigh and decide to give myself up. Why bother? He guides me inside the dark forest.

When he lets go, he moves me so I'm facing him. "Why did you run away? We were worried sick, Gemma spent the entire morning crying." He sounded angry.

Why should he be angry? I was scarifying myself so they won't have to get into any trouble, what's wrong with that? Feeling annoyed, I shoot back. "I was only doing this so you guys won't have to get in trouble with William; I don't even know what he'd do. I was only trying to protect you!"

There's a moment of silence, and he says quietly. "You don't need to do this you know? Marie won't do it, if she does, I'll tell my dad she was bluffing to get attention. I can fix it all."

"Why do you want me to stay? All that I will do by staying there is creating more trouble."

There's a pause before he replies.

"Because I need you."

Another silence, nothing needed to be said. I feel my heart slamming harder than ever against my chest and as he pulls me over and he holds me in his arms, my heart almost bursts. Now I know I won't be able to leave him.

Not now. Not ever. I surrender.
