Rejected.

I was falling

"Will" I screamed out as I plummeted to my death. I had been so lost in my thoughts that when my foot slipped in the mud by the lake I was barely in the state of mind to grab on to anything but luckily for me Will encircled his arms around my waist and pulled me up. Rescuing me for the umpteenth time.

"Someone's eager to go for a swim" Will had a cute smirk on his face and it made me want to almost plummet to my death all over again just so I could keep that smirk on his face forever.

"Last one to the end has to do another dare!" Neena suddenly cried out, I had been so lost in my own thoughts that I had forgotten about everyone and everything besides Will and I. I watched as Neena jumped into the lake leaving a massive splash in her wake, which I skilfully avoided.

"Ready?" Will asked. My reluctance to get in the water must have been pretty obvious because the next thing I knew Will was heading back towards where our camp was.

"We don't have to do the race if you don't want to, I won't force" he said and I knew Will enough to know that he wouldn't force me to go into the water but I also knew him enough to know that the thought of forefeiting was killing him.

"I'll do it" I said with a new found determination. The look of absolute joy on Will's face made me glad that I had made the decision of staying strong

"I promise I'll protect you if anything happens" and with that he grabbed a hold of my hand and began to tow me towards the lake. I didn't know whether or not Wil was conscious of his actions and quite frankly I didn't care because all I could think of was the way Will's hand felt in mine. Perfect.
