~Thursday, April 27th~

{Belle's POV}

Something made me want to come out here. I'm not sure what though. Rain continued to fall making the mud squish underneath my toes. Wind rushed through the trees causing a whistling sound and the pitter-patter on the wet leaves.

The woods behind the house doesn't look as big, but now that I'm walking through it seems larger. Maybe if it were daytime I'd be able to see the house behind me. But I couldn't sleep tonight. Being out in the rain always helps me sleep, but that's not the reason why I'm walking through the woods.

It's one of those instincts in the pit of my stomach that's leading me towards a specific place. I don't even know where I'm going. I've never been back here. Curiosity always begged me to go towards it, but I never felt the need to come here.

Now I do. It's dragging me towards the darkness and dreariness of this place. The rain continued to fall as I started to grow tired. My body and clothing are now soaked from walking for about fifteen minutes.

I can't fall asleep here. The boys will freak if I'm not there in the morning. I leaned against a tree trying to regain my energy but it's slowly fading.

I can't fall asleep here. If I wake up late in the day the boys will flip and when I get home they'll get mad at me for coming out here at night.

I wiggled my toes in the mud just for the hell of it. A small giggle mixed with a squeal left my mouth because of how it feels. Nature has always amazed me. Every animal, every insect, every living thing.

Some girls freak out at the sight of any insect, even if it's as simple as a fly. I don't though. Everything that Mother Nature has create is beautiful in my eyes. Except for some humans. That's the only thing that I don't like very much from Mother Nature has made. I love the boys and Cole, but not the ones that have hurt me.

My eyes lightly fluttered closed but I fought them back open. I reached my hands up to grab onto the trunk of the tree, wrapping them around to the other side to hold myself up. Instead of the bumpy bark I felt a dip. Not just a dip that it's some pieces of bark, but one that led down a few inches. I pushed myself off the trunk and walked to the other side.

It's really dark outside because it's one in the morning and that it's raining, but I can't still manage to see it. I squinted just enough to make out what it says.

R. I. P.

Erin

My breathing hitched and heart started to best faster. No. It's just a coincidence. My fingers subconsciously traced over my carved letters. Tears formed in my eyes and my bottom lip started to quiver. "I miss you Erin." I whispered, letting a tear drip down my cheek.

The wind quickened, blowing from my left causing my wet hair to whip in the other direction. I looked to the right, trying to not let the wind get in my eyes. My feet carried me to the tree to my right as I saw more letters carved on it.

R. I. P.

Scott

No. There's no way this could be happening. I didn't do this, and if the boys did they'd tell me. Cole would've told me to. The tears couldn't be contained anymore causing them all to roll down my cheeks.

I bit my lip trying to contain the sobs as my eyes trailed down to the roots of the tree that Erin's name is carved in. Bouquets of flowers are placed at the roots. Quickly, my eyes darted to Scott's tree to see flowers of orange and red, opposite to Erin's pinks and purples. "No. No." I whispered as I ran my fingers through my wet hair.
