New Love

Camping

Hi guys! I'm a new writer so don't be too surprised if this fanfic is terrible! I've been wanting to do one of these for a long time. PLS ENJOY!

--------------------------------------------------

Grace's POV

"Don't forget your bug spray!" Braden said worryingly. "I'm not a 2 year-old! I can take care of myself!" Braden treats me like a little kid even though I'm 17. "Okay, okay. I'm freaking out over nothing! I should really let you be on your way. Have fun, Grace!" Braden said while we walked out of the door. He put the tent, sleeping essentials, food, and handed me his old pocket knife. I shut the trunk and started the car. "Bye Braden. Thanks for the knife. You're the best brother I could ask for." I said. "Bye! You're the best sister, Grace!" he said back. I waved and he waved back.

A couple minutes later I was driving into the mountains. I smiled as I picked out the cashews out of a trail mix packet. Just then, a deer sprung out of the woods and I swerved around it. "Holy moly. Stupid dear." I said in a panicky voice.

I wiped my eyes as I was driving into my campsite. By that time, my trail mix was all eaten. Unfortunately, I was still hungry. I stayed in the car to call Braden. Of course he wanted me to call him when I got there because he was really worried about me, always.

Braden: Hey! Grace! Did you make it there safely?

Me: Yeah, I'm fine. I almost run over a deer though.

Braden: Really? Is it okay? Are you okay.

Me: Yes, Braden. Why are you always so worried about me?

Braden: I just wanna make sure you're okay because I don't wanna lose the last member of our family.

Me: Braden... don't bring that up. I'm fine and the deer is okay. I need to unpack soon, because it's getting dark.

Braden. Oh okay. I love you, bye!

Me: Love ya' too. Bye. Don't eat all the peanut butter!

Braden: I know.

Then I hung up. I got out of the car and started to unpack my stuff. Everyone moment it took to take everything out, it got darker.

After all my stuff was all unpacked, I put my food and toothpaste in the bear box and began making the tent.

Braden's POV

After she hung up, my eyes filled up with tears. Before I started crying,  Alex texted me.

Alex: I'm at the airport, are you coming?

Braden: Oh my god. Sorry, I forgot, I just got so worried about Grace that I forgot. I'll be there in 10.

Alex: Okay. I forgot, she's going camping. Did you ask her about joining The Pals yet? And hurry.

Braden: No. She left too quick. I'll just call her tomorrow and ask her. She doesn't even know you guys. Not even Sub.

Alex: Okay. See you soon.

I got on a jacket, some Converse, and left. As I drove, tears began to roll down my face. "Why did this have to happen.. why did that cruise have to happen?" I cried. When I got to the airport, I rubbed away the tears and went inside. I could see Alex waiting across the room. I waved so he could see me. He finally realized I was there and waved back.

Alex's POV

After the call I had with Elijah, I saw that Braden was coming towards me. "Hi Braden!" I said as I waved. "Hey! Ready to go?" he said. "Yeah. Can you carry one of my bags?" I asked. "Sure!" Braden said as he grabbed both of my bags. "That's what friends are for!" he said cheerfully. We walked to his car but I could see that something was wrong.

"Hey, are you okay?" I said concerned. "I'm fine. Just thinking of the cruise. About my family," he said with tears streaming down his face. "Don't. Let's just think about how fun staying at Denis's house is" I said trying to cheer him up. "Okay. I guess." he agreed.

I could see him getting more tired by the minute. "Do you want me to drive, Braden? You seem really tired." I offered. "Yeah. Can you?" he said trying to stay awake. "Yeah." I smiled. We switched seats as I figured out the controls.

Right as I started driving, he fell fast asleep. I got back on the highway and soon after, we got to Denis's house. I left Braden out in the car as I knocked on Denis's door. He opened the door and I said, " Hi Denis! We're so glad to stay at your house for a few days!" "Yeah! Where's Braden?" Denis asked. "That's the problem, I need your help. Ya see, he fell asleep in the car, and we need to carry him inside. Elijah is going camping by the way, so he won't be here until Wednesday."

We opened the door and unbuckled Braden's seatbelt and I carried his arms and Denis carried his legs as we carried him inside. We lightly sat him down on the couch. I ran back outside, grabbed my bags, and locked the car.

By the time I was settled, it was 12 p.m.  "I'm going to head to bed, now." I said
