2015 // I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here!

3.

I woke up with my hand covering my mouth. I'd always rested it there since I started sleeping in camp, incase an animal tried to crawl into there in the night.

I sat up in bed and walked into the dunny to redo my hair in the mirror, since I was certain that I looked like shit this morning.

I walked in to be greeted by George, his eyes glassy under his round rimmed glasses that he always wore in the morning.

//George's Confession— George sat with his head in his hands for a couple of minutes. "I can't do this anymore. I just want to leave this stupid jungle— theres just so much pressure. The only people keeping me here are Suzanna and" He paused and sucked in a sharp breath. "And Jess. Jess is keeping me here" He looked up and the camera. "I just can't cope"//

"George? Whats wrong?" I asked quietly, afraid that someone outside will wake up and hear us.

He quickly engulfed me into a hug, his arms tensing around my small body. I heard him sniffle on my shoulder. "Sorry" He muttered.

"No George, its fine" I told him sincerely. "Whats going on?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"I don't want to be here" He told me. "I just— It's not the challenges, or the trials or anything, its the surviving, the not eating properly for days. I just feel like I cant do this anymore, but I don't want to leave and let everyone down"

"George Shelley, you aren't letting anyone down. You're doing this for yourself, not anyone else, alright? You aren't letting anyone down, please don't tell yourself that" I told him gently.

"Thanks Jess" He rubbed his eyes and took off his glasses, clutching them in his left hand. "You're a great girl" He smiled at me and kissed my temple, before leaving quickly and walking down the path back to the main area where the others were.

I smiled to myself and walked over to the mirror. I tied my hair up into two buns on either side of my head. I pinned them into place and brushed my teeth, before walking back down to camp.

"Dear Snake Rock campmates," Yvette read something out from a sheet of paper that she had been given. "You will be reunited with the other campmates from Crock Creek, later in the day. But first, you will need to complete a trial, which will have to be completed by all campmates to earn yourselves a meal for camp"

"Sounds great! When are we leaving?" Brian asked her as he sat up in his bed.

"About twenty minutes, I'm guessing" She tucked some hair behind her ear.

I fixed my bandana. "What do you think they'll make us do?"

"I hope nothing too nasty" Jorgie giggled.

// Ferne's Confession— Ferne sat down in the dunny. "I've literally just come here to say, that to be honest, I think I fancy George. I mean, its been playing on my mind for the last day or so, without him here, I just don't feel natural. And I mean we've shared a few intimate moments, but I'm not quite sure. I mean, after all, I'm three years older than him, me being twenty-five and all, I feel old compared to some other beauties in this jungle. But anyway, thats all I have to say for now. Bye" She shrugged as she got up and left.//
