My eyes flutter open and I see a sleeping Harry. We are tangled together. I untangle myself from him, without waking him and stand from the bed. I walk over to my bag and pull out some sweat pants and running shoes. I put them on and quietly exit the cabin through the front door.

I start walking down the room and I realize that I've left my phone .. Oops. I take a deep breath, inhaling the smell of the grass and the trees. The smell opens up my lungs and pores, rejuvenating me. I walk as far away from the cabin as I can, until I hear noise coming from the woods surrounding me. I turn my head in the direction of the noise and a blonde girl is running towards me.

She has on a black T shirt and light jeans with a bloody hole in the knee. It looks like she tripped and fell. My pulse quickens as she reaches me and stands in front of me. She has cuts on her face but I notice that she has green eyes, which are unusual for a blonde.

"Oh my gosh what happened?" I gasp.

"I- I escaped from him." She whispers.

"From who? Are you alright? Is there anything I can do?"

She shakes her head and starts breathing hard. She's having a panic attack.

"Calm down," I say calmly. "What's your name?"

"C-Caroline," She stutters.

"Caroline, do you want me to take you back to your cabin?"

She turns her head, looks down the road, then back to me.

"Someone's coming," she whisper/yells.

Before I can respond she takes off back into the woods. I should go after her. But I don't know her. She could be some psycho killer trying to trick me. I look down the road and I man is jogging. Judging by the hair bouncing on his shoulders, its Jonah. I start walking again and the closer I get to Jonah the more attractive he looks.

He's wearing a black shirt with cut off sleeves that show off his tan toned muscles. He's wearing black basketball shorts, and black running shoes. Once we reach each other we both stop and smile.

"Good morning Briella," he says.

I smile. "Good morning Jonah."

"Where you headed?" He asks.

I shrug. "No where really. I'm just walking."

"Mind if I walk nowhere with you?" He smiles and I nod.

He moves to stand by my side and we start walking. I go back to admiring nature, but I can't get Caroline of my mind, or Harry.

He nudges me. "What's wrong? You seem down."

He's a good observer. "Its nothing," I lie.

He rolls his eyes playfully. "Its something. Someone."

I can't help but smile.

"Aha! Its your friend your staying in the cabin with, isn't it?"

My heart sinks at the mention of Harry.

"He just confuses me. One second he's an asshole, one second he cares about me." I swallow the lump in my throat.

"That's 90% of men Briella. I'm sure he cares about you. You just don't stay in a cabin with someone you don't care about."
