Chapter 32: Devestation

We finally made it to the campsite at around 8pm, mostly because Jordan had taken over the wheel (which in hindsight was probably the worst decision possible) and his phone had died, which meant that he had gotten us lost for three extra hours. I was also sitting right next to him, screaming directions at him and even I literally had no idea whether they were right or not, but they were making Jordan get really nervous. Finally, we put Levi back at the wheel and he was able to drive us to the campsite. Don't ask my why they switched seats in the first place, I was still trying to calm my mind from sitting next to Jordan for three hours straight.

We finally pitched our tents at around nine. It would've been a lot faster, considering there were four of us, so two tents for four people, but Eliza decided that we needed another tent between the four of us. And on top of that, she decided that she was not going to help us put them together. Considering I had loads of camping experience, my tent took a maximum of half an hour to build, which was pretty quick since I was a small girl doing it all by my self. Also, it was pitch black, which meant I could barely see anything. I then helped Jordan and Levi who could not put their tents together to save their lives.

It was mostly because they refused to read the instructions, they were sure they could do it without them.

Everything was pretty much done by ten. Eliza had dragged all her 'necessities' from the trunk, because she was going 'glamping', she claimed that she would need everything there, which included a sound machine. I'm guessing the sound of real nature wasn't enough for her.

"We should have a campfire, Juliette loves campfires!" Eliza exclaimed when we were done with making the tents. "I'll help gather firewood." She stated as I stared at the boys in disbelief. They both shrugged. She was way too perky, even for Eliza, and there was no way in hell that she would go into the forest to gather wood off of the floor, especially considering all the bugs that lived in the forest.

She disappeared into the forest, bouncing with every step, leaving me to wonder if she hit her head or something. "Is she pregnant?" I blurted out as Levi burst out laughing.

Jordan's eyes widened "I really hope not" he said extremely quickly. "You're gonna kill me if she is."

"I think you guys are overreacting. Juliette, she's your best friend. What's wrong with her wanting you to have a good eighteen birthday party?" Levi interrupted when he sobered up, allowing me to sigh in relief. At least one of us could think rationally.

I nodded "you're right" I agreed "Eliza is always perky and happy."

With all that, we pretty much dispersed, deciding to help Eliza collect firewood. I gathered a lot of wood and stones to surround the wood, deciding that nobody else would. We then met back in front of or tents fifteen minutes later. Jordan had managed to somehow drag two huge logs from God knows where and God knows how we didn't notice. He seemed so upset we wouldn't be using his logs for the fire so we we decided to use it as seats to make him feel better. It was as if he was twelve and not eighteen. Placing all of our dry firewood on top of the other, I surrounded it with stones and threw a match on it. According to Levi he had a pack of matches in his car, and I decided against interrogating him about it, although I seriously doubted it was because of the campfire.

We finally sat around the campfire, Levi and I on one log and Jordan and Eliza on the other. We also ripped open my packet of marshmallows, placing them on sticks so we could heat them up.

"I've always wanted to ask this" Levi began, looking up from his marshmallow "how did you two get together?" He questioned, motioning to the two of them.
