The Cabin •Jc Caylen•

34. "Trail"

I tied my shoe laces as Jc kept calling my name out. I grabbed a water bottle from the table and walked to the door where everyone waited for me.

"Ready?" Jc asked as he held onto his camera.

I nodded my head and followed them out the door.

We began walking deeper into the forest, following a trail that might lead to the end of a cliff. There was a small conversation going on between Alice and Kian. There's no doubt in my mind that there's something going on with them.

Jc pushed me lightly in a playful way. I looked up at him and shoved him into a tree a little too rough making him crash into it.

"I'm sorry" I said as I covered my mouth with one hand and with the other I grabbed his shoulder.

He began laughing while rubbing his shoulder.

"She really is fucking stronger than you" Kian laughed as he put his hands on his knees and bent over laughing.

"Shut up" Jc said as he quickly grabbed my legs and threw me over his shoulder.

I let out a loud yell as I grabbed onto his shirt, "Jc!"

He began twirling around and walking. I eventually got tired of fighting back so I just held on tight and had small conversation with everyone else.

"Remember that one time Bailey fell down that hole where her parents were building a swimming pool?" Cristy asked as she began laughing.

"Oh yeah!" Alice shouted as she began laughing along with Cristy.

I raised my head up and looked at them, "that was the scariest experience of my life"

"Wait what happened?" Kian asked as he slipped his phone into his pocket.

"we were in one of Bailey's homes and her parents were building a pool so there was just a big muddy hole and we were blindfolding each other and running around, I know not a great idea, but it was fun. Next thing you know Bailey falls down the hole, luckily we got her out with a rope before her parents got home. I can't even imagine what they would of done to poor little bails"

"One of Bailey's homes?" Kian repeated.

Cristy nodded her head, "yeah she has many houses in different places"

"Just a few" I corrected.

"How many is a few?" Jc asked as he fixed his grip on me.

"Um.. i don't know maybe ten or fifteen..." I mumbled.

"Ten?!" Jc said as he put me back onto my feet. This feeling was so weird, my legs were numb and I had this feeling in my stomach that felt different.

"Yeah. Do we have to go over this again? My parents are rich so they just buy houses in different places to either rent them out or have them as decoration" I said like a zombie.

"Decoration?" Kian asked.

"That's what they say" i shrugged my shoulders as I kept walking.

"How does it feel to be Rich?" Jc asked as he walked by my side. The other three stayed a bit behind to have their own conversation.

"How does it feel to have fans?" I asked.

"Great" he smiled.

"I don't know, every time I wanted something that involved money I always got. But sometimes it was too much, Too much money, too many things. If my money ever went away then I'd have nothing, I don't know how to live without someone cooking my meals, preparing my clothes, and caring for me. I'm vulnerable without money" I said as I walked a little faster.

"You never talk about your dad" he changed the conversation.

I barley noticed that, I rarely talk about him.

"If I'm being honest he's way nicer than my mother, I still remember when I was a child he would read to me every night and give me a goodnight kiss. Then my mother got all these ideas in his head. When they told me that I must marry Tyler he has this look on his face, he was kind of hesitating to tell me. But I love him so much, I love my father with all my heart. He isn't just my father he's this smart, sweet, strong man. You know.. before I came on this trip he gave me a kiss on my cheek and said he loved me.." I paused for a second and rubbed my eyes to prevent tears from coming out, "Jc I haven't heard him say that In three years.. let alone give me a kiss, and I can tell he meant it"

He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him, "of course he loves you, he's your dad. No matter what he'll always love you, he doesn't need to say it because you should already know"

I shrugged my shoulders, "it just felt nice to hear it again"

"My mother is brilliant, she's crazy smart but my father is just unbelievably smart he's almost a genius"

"That's where you got your brains from" Jc smiled.

"Believe me I'm nothing compared to him" I chuckled.

"Enough about family" Jc said , "lets talk about something else"

"How about this, if you answer a question I have in mind I'll tell you something I've never told anyone" I said as I looked up at him.

"Okay, ask away" he said as we took a turn and kicked a few rocks as we walked.

I told myself I would never bring this up again, I promised myself I wouldn't even think about it again but I need to know, "why did you sleep with her?" I whispered to prevent her hearing me.

He cleared his throat, "I was hurt-"

"So that made it okay?"

"Bailey let me finish" he said as he looked down with serious eyes, "I was hurt and angry. I was also drunk off my fucking ass, she was hurt, I was hurt, I didn't know what to do and it just happened"

I nodded my head in response and cracked my fingers, "that's all I wanted to know"

He shook his head slightly, "now back to you. What is something you've never told anyone"

I scratched my head a little and thought for a few seconds.

"You don't even have an answer for me" he chuckled.

"I do, I do. I just need to think" I said as I thoughts for a few minutes before coming across one that I thought was kind of silly.

"What is it?" Jc asked as he heard me giggle a little to myself.

"When I was around six I wanted to be a famous singer that everyone loved and knew and I began to write music and I still do to this day, it's jus a way of distracting myself"

"Music? If you write music, can you sing?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "I've never sang in front of anyone. I like to do it for fun I guess"

"Sing to me, right now" he said as he looked over at me.

"Funny. That's not going to happen" I snickered as I tucked back a few strands of hair.

"Will you sing to me another time?"

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not" I said as I picked up my pace.

He mumbled something under his breath that I didn't catch, "what?" I asked.

"Oh nothing" Jc said.

I nodded my head and kept walking. I wish I could just freeze these moments and keep them forever, the trees, the birds, the flowers, my friends. This is perfect.
