"Hey, so, who are your parents?" Adrian abruptly interrupted the silence.

"Oh my dad, he's a doctor, his name's Henry Wilson, and my mom's a lawyer, her name's Amelia Wilson. How about you?"

"My dad left when I was 3 and my mom died a while ago from lung cancer, so I pretty much take care of myself, although my uncle visits me every once and a while to check on me."

"What was your life like?"

"I went to murphy's high school, I'm a senior, I was gonna go to the Miami University. I was out camping because our spring break had started two days ago. How about you???"

We continued to walk, the dead leaves and brush crunching under our feet. "I went to Carterville High school. I'm a junior. We still had school for a few more days... I had just gotten home when they came."

"Where do you want to go for college?"

"I'm not sure, maybe the southern Illinois state university, but I haven't really thought abo-"

"Wait! Do you hear that?!"

I listen for a minute, then the sound of rushing water fills my ears. He starts running towards the noise. "Come on!"

We begin to run to the sound, it grows louder and louder in my ears. Soon the air feels a bit cooler, and then we run out from the trees and there a great waterfall appears. White crisp water floods down some beautiful green rocks and then the water begins to smooth out and calm down further in the river. Birds chirp and sing and the sun warms my weary back and cold skin, as trickles of water lightly fall onto my skin.

Then a loud splash interrupts my thoughts. I look over and Adrian has jumped into the water. I kneel down and scream at him as he plops up from the water. "What are you doing?! We have to keep goi-"
Before I can finish he pulls me into the water with him. I'm about to yell but the cool water against my skin silences me as I began to giggle. soon he starts laughing too and I playfully punch him and he splashes at me. Once I'm done laughing I take a sip of cool, clean water, it tastes almost sweet and it clears my parched throat.

After a while we get out and cool off sitting on a large rock. I look up at the sky and notice the sun is already starting to fade under the trees. "It's getting late, we should probably set up somewhere for the night."

"Ok, we can set up here"
He grabs his backpack and pulls out the the contents, two covers, a lamp, some matches, about 3 knives and a few energy bars. We clear off the extra sticks and things so the ground is empty where we are and we lay down the covers.

"We should start a fire, I'll go grab some sticks, can you find some stuff to start up the fire?"

"Yeah sure."

I head off into the opposite direction looking for plenty of dead leaves. As I go to grab some I feel a cold medal gun pressed against my back. "Don't move."
