Don't Throw Away Your Shot

Chapter Thirty

Alex's POV

That day hiking, I want to erase it.
I want to erase it all.
It was all a mistake.
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
I didn't mean to do any harm.

What's this, you may ask?

Let me start over.

"Look at the view!"

I stood beside John as we gawked over the view. Everyone was taking pictures or admiring it. I'd be better with a sunset, but this is still great. I gripped John's hand as we sat it.

"Isn't it beautiful?" John smiled. Oh my gods, his smile, with those adorable soft lips and freckles on his skin.

I kissed his hand and nodded, making him hug my arm to his chest.

"Group picture!" Peggy exclaimed.

We all ran together to take the picture. Laf took the camera and held it up, Peggy in his chest. Angie, Herc, and Eliza were making silly faces as John made some bunny ears behind James as they both smiled. I slipped my arm around John's waist and leaned against him for the photo, and Maria leaned her head on my shoulder. We took the picture with the view behind us and that was that.

We continued walking around and took a break to eat. We then kept walking, and took another break, and that was the hike. Not as excited as we thought, but it was still a fun time. We had some things we would never forget on that trip.

When we got back to the camp, there was part going to be set apparently. We all decided to go to have a little but of fun and took out the liquor. Don't ask how we got it, we just left for 10 minutes and Herc came back with some of it. We all headed back to my cabin and busted out the alcohol.

"Are you guys rEADY?!" Laf shouted.

"I think I'm good, I'm gonna head out for a swim." John smiled, pulling out his swim trunks from his bag and getting a towel.

"I'll join you, the water seemed refreshing today." Eliza smiled, standing beside John.

"I'll come along." James offered.

"Awww, come on, join us!" Angie cheered, pouring some alcohol and pouring it in some cups.

"No thanks!" The three dismissed, walking out.

The next thing that happened was kind of a blur.

"Maria, truth or dare..?" Peggy slurred, swaying a bit even as she was sitting down.

"Umm.. dare." Maria smirked and took another swing of her liquor.

"I dare you bring someone with you to your cabin and stay with each other the whole night."

Maria glared at me and pulled me up, dragging me out of the cabin. We made it to her's and she closed the door.

"Well, looks like we're stuck here. What do you wanna do?" I asked.

And that's when I heard the door get locked.

"W-What are you doing?" I stuttered, either from the large intake of alcohol or from nervousness.

I then witnessed her slowly and sexily strip down to her panties and bra. I felt my cheeks burn red. She looked so good, but not my type.

"Whatever you're about to do, think this through."

Maria licked her lips and walked over to me, slamming me against the wall and pinning me there as she released my ponytail.

"Y-You have Eliza! She's gonna hate you if you do this!"

Maria tried taking off my shirt, and succeeded. I was now shirtless.

dont worry this doesnt contain actual smut i mean they do it but i dont write it

And then I started thinking. I haven't had some sex in a long time, since me and John don't do it that often because he's not comfortable with it. But Maria was open to this. She was ready, and hearing it from Eliza, she's good at it, too.

I should say no, this isn't right. I might be bisexual, but I lean more towards guys. This isn't right for me.

But the alcohol took over and I ripped off my pants.

Maria kissed me passionately, and I let my hands rest in her hair. I then picked her up and let her wrap her legs around me and took her to what I assumed was her bed, and slammed her against the mattress.

And about 30 minutes later, John Laurens walked in.
