Hurt-l.h {SLOWLY EDITING}

Chapter 9

Finished with the trash I go to the hammock and lay down.

I close my eyes for a second. Sensing sneaky footsteps coming closer and closer to me, I hold up a finger and say "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Kyle."

"B-but...How did you know?" He laughs.

"I'm talented." I say, raising my arms behind my head, my eyes still closed.

Minutes later, I hear a pop sound and I'm covered in water. My eyes immediately open and I spot Mason and Shailene and Kyle all standing above me with a busted water bomb in each of their hands.

"Oh you mother-" I jump, literally jump, off the hammock and chase the three of them.

I understand Kyle's need for the prank and Mason just likes to piss people off, but who's side is Shailene on?

"Who's side are you on Shailene?" I yell after her.

"I'm so sorry Quinn, they bribed me." she yelled back.

"With what?"

"What do you think."

"Don't tell me you got the boys to go skinny dipping with you." I whine and Shai stops, so I run into her with an umph.

She turns around with a grin that sort of frightens me. It's a grin that I know that my theory is right. Oh boy.

"Seriously Shai?" I say to her before yelling to the boys, "Really guys? I thought you's were better than that." I throw my hands up in exasperation. Wait that's Mason who had agreed with that and Kyle, two guys with girlfriends. Oh well, Shailene means well, I hope.

"We didn't have much of a choice." Mason shrugged.

"Yeah, you did have a choice, to NOT have her help with soaking me in water!"

I'm over it. Over everyone ganging up on me. I sigh and turn on my heels. I stalk over to my tent and grab out The Fault In Our Stars. Yes I have finished reading before, but I am rereading it.

I walk over to the other hammock hidden from everything an start reading.

Chapter seven

I screamed to wake up my parents, and they burst into the room, but there was nothing they could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intracranial firecrackers that made me think that I was once and for all going, and I told myself-as I've told myself before-that the body shuts down when the b pain gets too bad, that consciousness is temporary, that this will pass.

I can't even get past the first full paragraph without crying. I can't reread this book without crying, I knew that. I'm just an idiot and want to read it again.

I must have fallen asleep because next thing I know I'm getting pushed side to side on the hammock by the winds and topple to the ground with a thud. Ugghhhh.

My head hits hard ground as well as my right hip and ribs. Slowly sitting up, the pain shoots up my body and my head is pounding. I stand and stumble to everyone else. Ok let's say I'm not good with pain.

"Hey Quinn. You alright?" Isabelle asks. Oh, yeah, I'm great, I just have a killer headache and my ribs are absolutely killing me, I think to myself.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have a headache and my ribs are a little sore." I answer truthfully. "Does anyone have any chocolate?"

"Yeah, I think there is toblerone in the esky." Shai answers for me. I smile at her and go to the esky. I grab out a bar of toblerone and start eating. Mmm chocolate. No one, I mean no one is getting a piece of my chocolate.

"You not gonna sha-?" Mason starts.

"No!" I interrupt.

"But-"

"I said NO!" My tone is a little too harsh but what can I say I love my chocolate.

"Fine" he rolls his eyes.

I eat the chocolate bar slowly but it goes too soon.

"Race you's all to the lake." Jay calls. "Last one in cleans up tonight."

We all sprint to the lake, me lifting my dress over my head in the process. I over take everyone and become neck and neck and neck with Kyle and Mason.

Reaching the edge of the deck Mason picks me up and we land in the water at the same time.

"Wow your slow Jay. Your the one who made the deal and your the last in," Mason laughs.

"Oh shut your mouth for once, would ya Mason." Jay screams back.

"Ohhhh, watch the language Jay - Jay." Mason continues to taunt him.

I roll my eyes and head over to the girls.

"Please tell me Shai are the boys you said were new to the school hot? I think I need a new boyfriend." I say loud enough for Mason to hear me.

"I heard that!" Mason calls.

"You were meant too." I reply as he sticks his tounge out in a childish manner.

We all start laughing, full on hysterics. Ocassionally choking on watet but can't stop laughing.

I finally stop laughing and swim towards the deck.

"Were do you think your going?" a voice says behind me, but I don't turn around.

"I'm getting out of the water. Is that a problem?" I say a little to harshly.

"Someones got their panties in twist." Mason remarks.

"Give it a rest Mason." I say once out of the water and heading to where to where the food is.

I grab a packet of onion and cheese chips and a can of solo. I grab my towel that is hanging over a tree branch and walk to the deck.

Laying down the towel, I sit and begin eating.

I have never been one that stays in the water for very long. I'd rather lay on a towel in the sun, reading and enjoying the sun.

"Your such a little nerd Quinn. Put the damn book down and come back in the water." Mason teases and pleas. I just shake my head.
