On The Run

shelter

Charleys POV
I woke up close too mid day. My face was dry with tears. I was leaned up against kyler.
His arm was layed over me holding me closer too him. He was warm. It felt good in the chilly, forest, summer afternoon.
I pulled my knee up till it rested against his arm. I scooted backwards until i was against his stomach.
I layed there thinking. Feeling Kyler breath. I glanced around Camp and noticed no activity. Everyone was asleep.  They were in a corner sleeping around Spencer.
Dang i was hungry. I hadent eaten in a while.
I tried to slip out of under Kylers arm but i woke him up.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey Cha," he said drugily.
"Hey Ky, im going to get something too eat."
"Ok dont get up. I'll get it for you. I dont want you on ur ankle."
"Otay."
I watched as he stood up and walked over too the bags of stuff. He opened a zipper and pulled out a small bag of goldfish and two granola bars.
He stumbled back over and threw me a granola bar and the goldfish then  slumped down by a tree.
What now?
I was a usless lump of nothing. Couldent provide any help around the camp. I would have too sit here and do nothing. Watch everyone else do all the work. I felt aweful. Why did i have too be so clumsy?
I geuss i could sit and talk to Spencer, since it didnt look like she would be doing anything anytime soon.

The camp became lively as people woke up and began to move around. Even Mekhi was up and going. Everyone was beginning to clean camp to build a shelter.
Kyler picked me up and moved me over to Spencer.
"Start gathering wood you two," Kyler said as he set me down and pointed to Duke and Mekhi.
"Ill get vines!" Yelled Bridgett from across camp as she disappeared behind a tree.
I felt a light raindrop on my nose that had found its way through the trees above us.
"Crap, we need to go fast but sturdy,"Said Duke with concern.
"Then lets get a move on!" Said Mekhi enthusiastically with a sigh.
I watched as they began to tie logs to trees with the long green tangly vines. Making outlines and bases.
I turned to talk to Spencer but she had fallen asleep, so I turned back to the others and watched Kyler chuck a log onto a wooden base.
He glanced over at me.
"Hey you guys keep working," he said as he began to walk over too me.
"Hey," he began, "I need to talk to you about something."
"Okay..?" I said
"Come here," he said as he picked me up and carried me to behind a distant tree.
"Yes?" I said
"I.. I.. Uhhh"
"You ok?" I asked him.
"Yea i just ummm, yesterday, when u fell asleep on me.."
He gulped hard
"Yea...?"
"I um.. I kissed you."
"You what...?"
"I kissed you, on the forehead. I dont know why," he said as he started to shake violently and break into a sweat. "It just kind if happened..."
"Its fine!" I quickly reassured him because i noticed he nervous for my response.
He stood there awkwardly as i sat by the tree.
"I.. I.. Im kind of glad you did..." I said choppily.
