*Friday, day 43*

-Ever's P.O.V- 

"Everyone, gather up!" Mary said, she was in front of everyone. We're going camping... 

We were all asigned partners, and guess what?

I got Louis... Yay.

We had managed to get Mary to put Jess and Zayn together, we just told her that Zayn was going to a rough part of his life and he really needed his girlfriend right now, so she agreed.

But, ugh... Louis? Blah.

"Very good, this is all based on team work. You and your partner are, like said earlier, gonna be tied together and you're gonna get a map and you're gonna find your way around on your own." Yeah, I forgot to mention that. 

Me and Louis are gonna be tied together by one foot and one arm until we get there. Cause when we get to the first post, there's a key, we're gonna use that to unlock the freakin' cuffs.

"Find your partners now and go to where your names are written on this tablet. This is a competition, remember. There will be a prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Go!" 

People scrambled around to find their partner. I walked around, looking for the place where mine and Louis' names were written, with small pictures of us.

I looked around and soon saw a brunette boy waiting by our names. 

"Ever!" He noticed me and smiled, it was rather nervous. I didn't say anything, only went up to him and stood there. Louis handed me the map and then stoo right beside me. "Hey, are you a leftie?"

"I'm ambidextrous." I answered honestly and he just gave me a confused look. "I can write with both." I said and his lips formed an 'o'.

"Okay, can I have my right hand free then?" I nodded, so he moved to my left side. Someone came and cuffed our legs together and then our wrists.

"Hey." I yelped when he suddenly moved his hand. He gave me an apologetic look, then slowly fastened the bag over his shoulder. He clipped it together over his chest. 

"Okay, so we have to walk rythmically." Louis said and I gave him a 'no shit' look. 

"Just follow my pace. You've got longer legs, so I think I'll keep rythm." I said and he nodded. I began walking normally and Louis slowly managed to get it.

"Where are we going?" 

"Can you read a map?"

"Not really, have you heard of sat nav or GPS on your phone?" Louis said and I sighed.

"Fine, I'll lead the way then." I then began walking and warned him when I turned suddenly. Louis whistled on some melody most of the way, seeming to notice my bad mood.

We walked for a while and I noticed Louis didn't struggle at all, but he's a lot taller than me and we're getting to a point where I nearly have to start climbing.

"Okay, holy cow. How are we gonna get up there?" I asked, looking up over a huge rock. 

"Uhm... I can move this up my leg and you can sit on my back?" He said, pulling the thing around his ankle higher. It's didn't get past his knee, but it helped. I hesitently shifted with him so the backpack was on my stomach and then I got on his, keeping myself somehow twisted so it worked. "You okay?"

"Yeah, perfect." I said and he chuckled.  My back is pressed against his and I have somehow managed to curl around him, so I'm safe, but crap is it scary.

Louis began climbing and I kept screaming and complaining, cause I felt like I was gonna die.

"Geez, woman, we're nearly there." Louis panted a bit and I bit my lip. Finally he stood straight and I got down. I looked at him and began laughing.

He was red and sweating and he had dirt in his hair. 

"Sorry, come here." I said, seeing how embarrassed he was over my laughing. Louis got closer and I got the dirt out of his hair. I then took out some water and handed it to him.

"Thanks." Louis muttered ad then he took his t-shirt off. Not directly off. It hang on the chain that held our wrists together. "Shall we continue?" 

"We shall." I nodded and began walking with him again. 

We walked in silence for a while, the trees looming over our heads.

"Hey, Ever?" I looked up at him and he was nervously biting his lip.

"Yes?"

"How is Megan?" I looked away bitterly and didn't say anything. "Please tell me. I know I don't look like Zayn, but I really care about her and I miss her." 

I sighed and slowly nodded.

"She's okay. Megan is very snappy, like, she gets angry easier. Did you know about her last boyfriend?" I asked and he frowned, shaking his head. 

"No... What about him?"

"Leslie did the same thing as you did, kind of. He played her. Toyed with her feelings. She fell head over heels for him and he only did the whole thing for.." I bit my lip and heard him breath more unsteadily.

"Her virginity?" It wasn't actually a question, more like a statement.

"Yeah."

"But she said it wasn't on purpose." Louis mumbled, mostly to himself.

"It wasn't. She refused to give it to him twice. He brought her to a party and gave her a drink, which made her head spinny and she said she only remember snippets of it, but she couldn't walk away from him. Her body just wouldn't work and she didn't make a sound either. He drugged her with something and brrtally raped her." I told him and we had stopped walking by now.

I looked up at him to see his reactions and he was tense and looked rather guilty. 

"That's why she said she didn't mean for it to happen. She never wanted to loose her virginity to Leslie, he took it without permission." Louis looked down at me now and he was angry. Very angry. With himself, I think, and Leslie of course.

"She hates me, doesn't she?" Louis asked me. I looked at him, the pain evident in his features. I bit my lip and began walking again. I slowly took Louis' hand and sqeezed it.

"No, she doesn't hate you, but she doesn't particulary like you either." He sadly nodded, his eyes casted down. "Hey." I said, trying to get him to not think so sad thoughts.

Louis looked up and I stopped walking again. He was biting back tears. 

"You can cry, I won't judge." I assured him. Louis nodded and then he gave me a kind of questioning look, asking me if he could hug me. I gave him a small smile and ended up hugging him as he cried into my shoulder.

I could only hug him with one arm, but it still seemed to comfort him.

So me being partnered with Louis: Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all...
