Stranded

Three

James POV

I see Drew stand up from where he was sat with the boys before running off looking upset, I tap Tris on his arm and he looks up from his place laying on my lap. "I'm going to go talk to Drew be back soon" I say and he nods sitting up allowing me to get up myself, I quickly jog in the direction he ran into the woods. I told you something was wrong with Drew as well I just need to find out what, "Drew?" I say looking around. He can't of got that far "Drew?" I call louder going deeper into the woods, I check the waterfall to see no one. Where the hell did he go? The waterfall is the only place in the woods we've been. Something must have really upset him, "Drew?!" I call louder. I hear faint sobs and I start running in that direction, hearing them get louder I can just about see Drew sat on the ground. "Drew there you are" I say quietly, he looks up still shaking with sobs. I hate seeing people so sad, I sit beside him wrapping my arm around his shoulders pulling him into me. I let him sob into my chest while I hold him, he actually made it really far into the woods surprisingly. "It hurts" he whispers after a while, he's calmed down a little well at least he's able to talk. "What hurts bud?" I ask him and sniffles

"Seeing them acting so much like a couple" he says quietly, I know what he means.

"Nate or Levi?" I ask and he lets out a little sob, I rub his back

"Both"

Oh man that must really hurt, i rest my chin on his hair. "But they're not are they?" I ask gently, he shakes his head "and you never know they could just be best friends remember?" I say and he sighs calming down more,

"I feel stupid crying over my best friends" he says with a sad laugh,

"Don't, it's alright to feel the way you feel. Give it time I'll help see if they like you back" I say and he nods playing with his hands

"Thanks James" he says quietly after a while, I smile

"Can I ask how did you end up falling for the two of them?" I ask and he blushes wiping his face,

"I don't know love is weird, I managed to fall in love with my best friend somehow then Levi came along and ugh I don't know" he says with another sigh, I chuckle

"I'm sure things will work out for you Drew you're a awesome guy " I say and he smiles

"Thanks" he says hugging me again, I smile wider and hug back. "You know I think Tris might like you" he says when we pull away

I blush and bite my lip "what makes you think that?" I ask my voice breaking on the end, I blush more and clear my throat. He laughs

"It's really obvious James just open your eyes" he smiles before standing up, wait what if he's right. I mean he's been acting different towards me, we're always together and I'm pretty sure fans have made up a ship name for us. Have I really been oblivious to all this maybe even my own feelings? Wow am I an idiot.

"Are ya coming or what?" Drew asks holding his hand out, I shake my head blushing a little more. I take his hand and stand up, we both start making our way back to the beach. Like I thought it's taking a lot longer "wow Drew how you got this far I don't know" I chuckle, he laughs and shrugs.

When another 10 minutes pass and we're still not back I start to worry, "is this the right way?" I ask

"I think because the Waterfall should be behind those trees" he says, we walk up to them to see the Waterfall indeed there. I sigh in relief and we start walking the way we know back to the others, "there you are we were just about to throw a search party" Brad jokes, I chuckle.

"You gunna be alright to go back over there? Or should I get everyone to join us around the fire?" I ask and he thinks for a moment

"Uh everyone round the fire" he says and I nod letting him sit with Brad and the boys,

"Uh guys do you wanna come over I think it's just about time to eat something anyway" I say to Austin, Levi and Nate who nod and start making their way over.

I sit next to Tristan giving him a smile which he returns "everything okay?" He asks and I nod

I'm really gonna have to think about what Drew said back there.

Levi's POV

I feel almost guilty like the reason why Drew ran off was because of me, he was fine before me and Nate started getting 'cuddly' then he ran off. I need to talk to him, he won't even look at me anymore. I must have done something to hurt him and I want know what it is, I don't want to be the reason anyone is upset especially if it's one of my best friends. He and James were at there for ages, I could tell that Drew had been crying by the way he had red blotches on his face and his eyes were red and puffy. I would ask now but he's sat next to James instead normally he would sit next to me, I sigh and run my hand through my hair.

This is sucks.
