I'm really ready to get everything out and in the open in this story, but I know It wouldn't be a very good story. But beware, guys! EVENTUALLY, shit is going to hit the fan. I have SO MUCH in store for y'all.
I'm so excited..................... :D

"Holy shit!" I heard a soft voice exclaim.
I peeled open my eyes, it was still dark out. I would guess maybe 4 am.
"Are you alright?"
I blinked a couple of times, trying to get my sleepy brain to focus on where the voice was coming from. I rolled over to look at the barred front of my cage. I could make out the silhouette of a person. Maybe a boy, I guess, from the broad shoulders.
"Hailey? Can you hear me?" They sounded concerned.
I pushed myself into a sitting position on my bed, "Who are you?" I mumbled, groggily.
Silence.
I heard a sigh, "its Weston."
I resisted rolling my eyes, "Why are you here? You're going to wake up my uncles. As you can tell," I gestured to the animal cage I was in, "they're pretty mad."
"Well," he sounded hurt, "I just saw how mad Thomas was at you when I dropped you off and I just wanted to check up on you."
I huffed, "Well, maybe you should go.""Hailey, this isn't right. When guardians get mad at you, they're not supposed to lock you in a cage."
I bit my lip, feeling an unusual anger bubble up inside me.
"Dude, why do you care?" I snapped.
His silhouette staggered back, obviously upset by my harsh words.
"Because," he started quietly, "I care about my friends. I don't want them locked in a cage."
I felt the anger dissolve by his nice words.
"I'm sorry," I sighed.
"But really Hailey. I don't like your uncles. They're hiding something. I can just feel it."
"I think we should talk about this later." I whispered.
"Fine. I'll come back later today." He said, turning on his heel and sneaking off.
"Come back with your dad, they won't say anything to you if you're with your dad." I called.
I watch him disappear laid back down on my bed.
"That boy is fucking crazy," I muttered to myself.
I woke up to the sound of metal clanking together.
I sat up, disoriented, to see my cell's door was opened.
This was my uncles' way of telling me it was okay to come out.
I quickly got dressed and ran off to see what the agenda was today.
I walked out of the tent, squinting at the hot morning sun.
I was glad it wasn't raining anymore. The rain made me uneasy for some reason.
I looked around, trying to find someone to talk to- I saw no one. I decided to try the main tent, grabbing an apple as I walked into the tent. I found Lucas, talking to Thomas, a worried look on his face. His eyes met mine and he said one final thing to Thomas before, turning to me.
"We're trying to decide if we should have a show on the Fourth of July or not." He ran his hand through his hair, slicking it back.
"Well, I think everyone is going to be cooking out. I'm not sure how busy we'll be." I offered my opinion.
