(40) "Into The Woods" (part 2 of 2)

 A couple of hours in and everyone is already having fun. What made things a lot better is the fact that Caleb also came. "Now we're complete" Jame said before opening the bottle of wine.

 Tris, Brad, Hazel, Victoria, Caleb, Connor and James all screamed at the same ones. The blonde haired lad can't help but get a bit emotional, he spent the last 4 years of his life with this people after all. Not seeing them everyday will be a super hard thing to adjust to, Tris just hopes he can do it without having any sort of anxiety attack.

 "Dude are you crying?" Caleb asked.

 "I'm sweating through my eyes" Tris replied and so everyone started laughing.

 "Aww come here" James said while spreading his arms wide, waiting for a group hug. Tris smiled and so did everyone else, the seven teenagers then did a quick group hug before saying how much they'll miss each other.

 "Alright enough drama .. let's party!" Victoria commented before turning on the loudspeaker.

 Tris looked at Brad just as the music started, this right here is the moment he'd been waiting for. A moment so perfect and so peaceful  , the kind of moment that he will remember forever.

 As the music went on, everyone started dancing their hearts out. They deserve it though, all of them ... the past few months almost killed them, literally. It's a bit of fresh air knowing that they can  live their lives right now. "It's so nice being young" Tris thought to himself as they all watched James strip down to his underwear and run towards the lake.

 Then one by one , all of them followed his lead.

 Brad, Caleb, Victoria, Connor, Hazel and then Tris. All of them went to the middle of the lake and climbed up a raft to watch the sunset.

 "This right here is life" the curly haired lad uttered and Tris heard how everyone agreed.

 "I never thought something as beautiful as this one exists right here" Victoria said as she stood up. Much to everyone's surprise, the young girl then jumped into the water and started splashing them.

 "I'm coming after you" Connor yelled as he started swimming after her. Tris couldn't help but smile at the sight, he missed seeing them happy. He almost forgot how to be happy.

 "Babe?" the blonde haired lad's heart almost jumped. Tris looked at his side and saw Brad looking at him.

 "They might hear us"

 "No they won't" Curly replied as he pulled him to the water.

 "Are you alright babe?"

 "I am" Tris replied and then started swimming towards the shore.

 "Are you really alright?" the blonde haired lad asked himself, if Brad can notice that he is not himself then there must be something really wrong with him.

 "This can't happen ... I can't ruin this for them" Tristan thought to himself, wishing he'll feel better soon.

 Later that night, the group of friends gathered in front of the bonfire for a quick Q & A regarding on what they'll do after graduation.

 "I will go to Wallace" Caleb uttered, starting the conversation.

 "I got accepted to Harvard and NYU ... at least I have a choice" Hazel then commented, expressing her never ending desire to study in the United States of America.
