Away From Reality - Jack Maynard - IM A CELEBRITY - COMPLETE

BushTucker Trial Hero & 4th Place

"Yeah," He laughs. "They're all at the hotel waiting for you to come out. Anyway, come on. Let's go back to camp. I wanna see what this girlfriend of yours is all about."

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

Holly P.O.V

Leading my dad through the tree-lined pathways, nooks and cranny's of the jungle back to camp, I explain a few more of the adventures we've had in camp - partly repeating my own words as my thoughts are so jumbled because of his arrival.

"Hey, Jamie!" I call. Arriving back at camp, Jamie is sat beside a middle-aged yet very beautiful woman, with tinted blonde hair, a stern face but infectious smile. "Jamie, this is my dad!"

"Lovely to meet you," Jamie grins, getting up from the fire. Detaching myself from my dad, I rush over to who I presume is a family member of Jamie's.

"Hi, I'm Helen." She beams, pulling me into a grand hug for comfort just like her son does. "I'm Jamie's mum."

"Hi, Holly," I shake. "You're so pretty."

"Awh thank you, my love," she smiles, "you know, my son has a real soft spot for you."

Sitting down around the fire beside my dad, catching up on life, Iain shoots into camp with a woman beside him. "Guys!" He beams, red circles staining his skin from the tears. "This is my sister!"

"Oh my god!" I breathe, almost tearing up at their broad grins. Iain hasn't seen his sister, Helena, in two and a half years. He's always telling me about how he dearly misses her company. "I can't believe you're here."

"Same." She smiles, flicking her long blonde hair out of her face. "Thank you for everything you've done for Iain, Holly." She croaks emotionally. "It's really helped him."

Returning back to the fire with Jamie and Iain, introducing my dad to the bunch of them, Jack is the final face to rush back to camp, shortly being followed by a lit up, silly face that I know so well.

"Hey Holly," Conor laughs, running up and hugging me. "I'm sorry you've had to put up with him."

"Who Jack?" I smile sarcastically. "I know, he's such a pain!"

"Hey," Jack greets, hugging my side and waving over to the rest of our relatives. My dad raises himself up, the proudest expression, coming over to Jack and me.

"Dad, this is my boyfriend Jack. Jack, my dad, Andrew."

"Please don't kill me," Jack murmurs, taking my dad's hand and shaking it lightly. My dad bursts into fits, cackling exactly the same as I do. "She's great, your daughter."

"Thank you for taking care of her Jack." He winks. "And I'm not going to murder you."

"You should," Conor nods, patting his brothers back and rushing over towards Jamie and Iain.

After a few broad discussions with Helena, my dad and Conor about his YouTube channel, it isn't long until our families have to leave.

"See you soon Conor," I giggle at his bawling expression. Giving Conor a final hug before he moves onto his brother, my dad is the next, and last to give me a goodbye. With the tears welling in the bottom of my eyes, one falling down as I can't push it back, my dad hugs me tight. "See you soon dad," I whisper into his shoulder.
