Stranded (GirlXGirl)

Chp. 12

Hunter and Tyler had cook us a mean breakfast, consisting of our fruit and their meat they had brought along. We had figured we could stay at our separate camps since we all couldn’t fit in one big one, which I was totally ok with. 

I liked Hunter and Tyler, but sleeping with them could suck.

Claire on the other hand was freaking me out, she hadn’t said maybe five words to me since Tyler and Hunter showed up, and it was eating at my heart. 

Had I done something wrong?

Just seconds before they had showed up she had told me how “perfect” last night was. Was it all just a bunch of bullshit?

Was she still lying to me? Did she even still like me? 

I knew it was stupid the ask these questions but I couldn’t help it, the way she had given em the cold shoulder earlier had hurt my ego. It hurt me, period. I didn’t know how to explain it and it was worrying me because now her attention was all focused on Tyler and Hunter. 

Which was something else that was eating at my heart. 

She knew what she did to me had hurt me, I could see it in her eyes when she glanced at me, but she ignored it. 

I mean we had just had sex last night.

I couldn’t believe the way she had treated me, just flew off of me like I was a disease. I felt all the pain and loss flooding back into me, drowning me silently as I basked in my sorrow. Mallory wasn’t alive, Claire was slowly leaving me, and we had no hope of being rescued. 

Hunter nudged me, nodding his head, “You ok?”

I nodded weakly, it was a shitty attempt but it was all I could muster up, “Yea, just feeling low.”

“We’ve all been feeling that, some can hide it more than others, but it’s a pain deep in your heart, huh?”

I felt the tears threaten my eyes but I refused to let them spill, “Yea, like there was nothing I could do. I was useless… all of  them died.”

He shrugged, “Maybe not all of them, maybe some were rescued… be positive.”

I couldn’t, not knowing that I might not ever see my best friend again. I sighed heavily, pain filling up my heart, “Mallory… I hope she’s alive.”

He rubbed my back, “Be positive, Alex.”

“It’s hard in these conditions.”

The sun had eventually started to set and Tyler and Hunter stood from the fire we had built and stretched out, “We’re heading back, see you guys tomorrow?”
