Chapter 16

"C'mon, Sophie. Get dressed. We're going to a birthday party for Elena." Erika said and I shrugged.

"I'm not feeling it." I said.

"You haven't been feeling anything in two days. You haven't left this cabin in two days, not even to get food!" Sara exclaimed.

"I'm just not feeling it." I said.

"I don't give a damn. Elena is my music partner and we're going to her birthday. It's final." Erika said and I nodded.

I felt bad. I didn't tell them about what happened but I didn't want to ruin their time, too.

I stood up and grabbed a rolled up pair of jeans and a white polo shirts with my vans.

I brushed my hair and tied it into a loose side ponytail.

"I'm ready." I said and sat down on my bed.

"Let's go." Erika said and she opened the door. I followed them and shut the door behind me.

"You okay?" Sara asked.

"Yep." I nodded.

Erika knocked on Elena's cabin's door, I could hear the music from here.

"Erika! I'm glad you could make it! Hey, girls!" Elena said and let us in.

"Happy birthday, Elena!" Erika said.

"Thank you." Elena said and hugged Erika.

"Happy birthday." Sara and I said. Elena gave us a smile and then left us to go mingle with her guests.

Oh great. Adam was here.

"Hey, babe." Cameron said and kissed Sara.

"Oh just take her and go smooch somewhere else." Erika joked.

"Come join us." Cameron said and motioned for us to follow him where Troy and Adam were.

"I have to go make a quick call first. I'll be right back." I made up an excuse.

"Has she been acting off too? Adam won't talk to us at all." I heard Cameron tell Sara as I walked away.

I went outside and shut the door behind me.

I took a deep breath and started at the stars in the sky.

"Come on, Sophie. You're a big girl. Man up and do this." I said and then took another breath.

I entered the cabin again and made my way to where they were all sitting.

Adam looked up from his phone and his eyes widened slightly when he saw me.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked as I sat down next to Erika.

"I was talking about lipstick. Doesn't red suit me more than pink?" Erika asked.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Show me." Troy said.

"I don't have my lipstick with me. Wait I'll go grab it from the cabin." Erika said.

"Stay, I'll go get it. I need to get something anyway." I lied and Erika smiled.

"Thanks, I was too lazy." She said and I laughed.

I left the cabin once more and made my way back to my cabin.

"Sophie." I heard Adam say once I opened the door.

I turned around slowly and looked at Adam walking up the stairs.

"Adam." I said.

"Can we... Can we talk?" He asked and I nodded.
