Ryan's P.O.V.

I almost kissed Simon! Holy shit! What was I thinking? I mean he is hot,but...
I have no excuse. Fuck! Does that mean I like him or what?

"I need help getting out,Ryan " Drew said

I walked over towards him and helped him. I dried him with my towel. I walked towards his backpack and looked for clothes. When I found some,I gave it to him. He put them on and ran over to Simon,who was lying on the ground.

"Fucker!"Simon yelled out as Drew jumped on him

"No saying bad words " Drew told him

"You jumped on me" Simon told him

"To wake you up"

"I wasn't asleep"

"Ryan said you were asleep " Drew pointed at me

"Why are you blaming me?"I said,shock and cofused

"Because you told me " Drew said,smiling

"You're still the troublemaker " I said as I crossed my arms

Eli's P.O.V

I was changed in new,warm clothes. I wished I had a blanket,but I dont,so I had to layer myself with jackets and sweaters. I stared at Hannah as she was starting the fire

"Do you need help?"I asked her as I was getting up

She looked over towards me. She got up and walked towards me,she placed her hands on my shoulders,and forced me to sit down.

"No,your going to sit down and rest"She told me

"No,I need to help you"I told her

"If I say no then no"

"I'm still helping you"I told her as I pushed her away,gently

I walked towards the sticks,that were gather together. I grabbed my matches and lit the dry grass and placed it under the sticks and continue to placed more sticks,so the fire could grow even more.

"I just wanted to help without your help " Hannah said

I looked over towards her. She had her head down. I hope she's crying. I walk over towards her and squatted right in front of her.

"Hannah " I said

"I wanted to help because you helped me get through Liv's death and you took me with you"She told me,still not looking at me

I cupped her cheek and made her looked at me.

"I don't want you to overwork."I told her

"Why? Because I'm a girl " She told me

"No. It's not because your a girl."I said

"Then,why?"She asked,curious

"You've been through a lot lately. You haven't eaten in a while " I told her

"How do you know?"She asked

"I heard your stomach growl and I saw you eyeing my meat " I told her,she blushed

"Here" I said as I passed her a piece of my meat

"Thanks " She said as she ate

I sat beside her and watched the fire.

Johannah's P.O.V.

I looked over at Eli and study him. He had blonde hair,that looks like a dark blonde,grey eyes,defined jaw,and a amazing face. He looked hotter then David. He had cheekbones,that you could see because of weight lost. His lips looked good to kiss. Okay,hold up. What did I just think?

"Hannah"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?"I said

"Why are you staring at me?"He asked

"I wasn't looking at you"I said

"You were clearly looking at me"He said

"No I wasn't. I was looking at that...tree over there"I told him,pointing at the tree

"Sure " He said

Dammit! Now,he probably thinks I'm creepy.

Simon's P.O.V

"Drew"Ryan said

"What?"

"Stop wandering around " Ryan told him

We were walking,trying to find a way out of the woods. But,the trees around us weren't helping. We continue to see tree after tree. God,now I'm starting to hate the colors, brown and green .

"Simon,can we set camp?"Ryan asked

"Yeah"I said as I placed my backpack on the ground

I started to make a fire.

"Can I help?"Drew asked

"Yeah. I need you to find sticks " I told him,he nodded and went off to find sticks

I looked over at Ryan. She was following Drew. She needs to give that boy space,but she just found him. So,I can't be complaining. I would do the same to Eli.

"Simon!"Drew yelled out

I got up and ran to where his voice was at. Drew was sitting beside Ryan.

"What happened?"I asked him as I got towards him

"She fainted " He told me,crying

"Hey,there's no need to cry " I told him

"It's my responsibility to take care of her " He cried out

"It isn't your responsibility to take care of her"I told him

"Yes it is " He told me

"Drew,you're still young " I told him

"My age doesn't matter " He told me

"Yes it does " I told him as I placed Ryan's head on my lap

"Why?"He asked

"Your young. You aren't suppose to stress out about taking care of Ryan. Ryan's a big girl and she can take care of herself" I told him

"But,she didn't take care of herself " He said

"I know,but she's been though a lot of things " I told him

"Like what?"He asked

"How about we go back to camp before it gets dark " I told him

"You didn't answer my question " He said

"I'll answer it later,but we need to get back to take care of Ryan " I told him

"Okay"
