Neil

"Neither." She says.

What?? I asked her out! We are supposed to be..

"Nat!-" I say.

"No, Neil. I don't want you guys killing each other over me." She says. We both start to tear up. She puts her hand on my cheek and whispers, "I'm sorry.."

She pulls my face down to her's and she gives me a light kiss on the cheek before getting the fire started to get warmth.

Aaron

Neither? What? That doesn't help! No! I want her! Neil doesn't deserve her! I do! He doesn't.

Nat tries to start a fire with her lighter. But every time she gets it going, a tear slides off her face and puts it out.

"Ugh!" She throws a stick at the fire pit and puts her face in her knees. Neil rubs her back. She was cold. The stylist didn't bother give her a jacket. But it was a cold night even though it was summer.

Hunter starts a fire. We all gather around it. Now that we were in another city, we were going to start a new life. No trouble making.. We shouldn't screw this up.
