Chapter 31- A day in the woods

Jasmine's P.O.V

Ugh, I've been so tired lately. For some reason this week I haven't been sleeping properly and it sucks. Tuesday was really bad (it's Saturday today) but last night was the worst. It was almost torture to be honest. I just laid there for hours trying to sleep but I just couldn't. I tried music, reading and all sorts but nothing worked. I know why I couldn't sleep though. It was Dan, it was Lana, it was Phil , all of them! Firstly, they all keep whispering to each other all the time and I still don't know what it is they're talking about. I know they're hiding something from me. And I will find out. Secondly, me and Dan have been bickering a lot lately. Ever since the night where he and Phil came home at like 2am we haven't been the same. It's not serious but I'm scared that one day soon I'm just gonna snap back at him and shout so much that I explode and we, we...I don't want to think what might happen. We're probably just at the weird little phase in our relationship, we'll sort it out.

"Dan, can you come here a minute?" I peeked my head around his door.
"Coming, one minute let me just switch my straightners off" he replied.
" What should I wear today? And we should do something today, all of us. We could go for a walk with Stitch to the woods?"
"Yeah that's a good idea. Let's do that. Wear them cute little walking boots you have, your ripped jeans and checkered shirt." I got changed then asked Phil and Lana if they wanted to come to the woods with us and they said yes.
"Oh my god we could have a picnic!" Alana suggested.
"Omg YES FOOD!" I shouted. We all laughed and ran to the kitchen to grab food. We literally just grabbed everything we could. Jam sandwiches, crisps, cheese puffs, chocolate, haribos and all sorts of crap.

"Right are we ready to go now then?" Phil asked.
"Yep let's go!" I shouted. I was so hungry. I put Stitch's collar and lead on and then we set off. Something strange happened when we first left though.
"Shall we go this way to the woods?" Dan asked.
"No no, that's the long way round" I said turning to go down the street.
"No. Come on this way." Dan replied more sternly than before.
"DAN!" I snapped back at him and instantly regretted it. "I'm so sorry Dan, I didn't mean to I'm so sorry."
"It's okay," He said pulling me in a hug.
"Okay we'll go that way but why are you adamant on it?"
"Oh, um n no reason J jaz just felt like it" He stuttered. Something is going on and I just don't know what.

As we walked to the woods me and Lana talked for a bit together about all sorts of stuff like fangirling over EVERYONE while Dan and Phil talked about whatever. When we finally got to the woods we found a nice spot where the sun was shining because it was quite cold but still a bit sunny. We placed our two picnic blankets down at sat down on them, we unpacked the food and got Stitch to lay down after many attempts. Half way through eating our food Stitch suddenly jumped up and ran off into the woods barking.
"Stitch!" I shouted starting to panic. He'd never done anything like this before. We all jumped up from the floor  instantly dropping our sandwiches and tried to follow him. None of us are athletic. None of us can even run down the street without collapsing and almost dying so chasing after a 1 year old sprinting dog was not easy for us.

"Stitch! Get back here now!" Lana shouted almost in tears. She really loves that dog, we all do, but Lana truly loves him. (Nearly as much as she loved Phil!) Anyway we all split up leaving our picnic behind trying to look for Stitch when suddenly my foot got stuck in a tree root growing in the ground. I screamed as I fell face first into the mud. I shouted for Dan and a few moments later he came running round the corner to me.

"Oh my god Jaz are you okay?" He sounded panicked and got onto the floor with me. None of us ever knew how to deal with injuries so we're pretty helpless.

"Yeh, no. I don't know. Agh. I think it's bleeding and I feel like I'm wearing one of those fucking mud face packs!"  It hurt so much but I didn't want to tell Dan it though. However I think he knew how much it hurt just by my face. He helped me unhook my ankle from the stupid inconvenient tree root and helped me up.

"You could have sprained it or something, can you walk on it?" Dan asked with his. I tried walking but it hurt so much that I couldn't put any weight on it. Dan steadied me as I nearly fell.

"Dan,"

"Yes"

"Do you think you'd be able to carry me?"

"Um, maybe I'm not the strongest of people but yeh"

"Just back to the blanket and then I'll I'll try to walk on it back home." Dan lifted me into his arms and I may or may not have screamed as he did so. I'm not a big fan on people carrying me but it was Dan soooooo...

When we finally managed to get back to the spot where our picnic blanket and other stuff was Dan sort of dropped me onto the blanket and laid next to me. Phil and Lana had just got back there too with Stitch who had spotted another dog on the main path. We told them how much of a clumsy mess I was and we decided that once most of the pain had gone we'd try to make our way home.

Somehow we all managed to get home safely. Dan helped me walk home and then hen we finally did get home we called a doctor to come to the house. They said that it was just bruised and cut and that I should just rest for a while until it healed. The doctor was really nice to me. Later on at night Phil and Lana had both gone upstairs to bed so it was just me and Dan left watching telly. 

"Dan?"

"Yes? What's wrong is your ankle hurting?"

"No, well yes but it's not that. I'm sorry about all the times I snap back at you and get angry. And I hate it when we argue. I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's fine, sort of. And I hate it too. We just need to get through this."

"I'm going to bed I'm tired you coming?"

"Yep, and I thin you'll need some help up the stairs anyway you clumsy idiot. Your a crazy beautiful idiot though..."
