Chap 25: K.R.I.S.T.E.N

Kristen Pov

"Please," Alice whined. "It will be fun. Trust me."

I shake my head. "Those are never good words."

"Ugh, come on. Please. I'll buy you something to eat." Alice nudges me on the arm.

"You already owe me plenty," I roll my eyes. It was true. Never once she paid me back. "Why do you want me to go so badly? To be your third wheel? To be more of an outdoor kind of person?" I shoot out theories until something hit me. "Oh my gosh, you want me to handle a break up for you. Do not worry, I'm on it. Let me pack my bags."

I get off the couch before Alice calls me back. "Wait, Kristen."

"Hm?" I hum, reaching the stairs.

"Never-mind," She says, licking her lips. "Just don't forget to pack your walking shoes."

The shrug of my shoulders says it all. "Got it. Wait-do I have any of those?"

"Just borrow one of mine."

It is now the day we would reach the campgrounds. Shivers run down my spine just from my surroundings. I swear a bug climbed into my shirt. "When is he getting here?" I ask.

"Soon, in the meantime, you can help me out by setting up a tent.

"Uh, I'm okay. Thanks," I reply back.

"Oh, I wasn't asking."

My face left a blank expression. In the end, she manages to force me into helping somehow. Not exactly sure what I did, but I did it. At some point, later on, Daniel appears from the distance. Finally, it is show time. "So should I do it gently or target him directly?"

"I'm not breaking up with him," she laughs lightly.

Those words healed yet broke my soul. "Are you kidding me?" To make matters worse, Daniel had friends along. "Oh, boy," I mumble under my breathe.

"Hey," Jack says, engulfing me into a tight hug like we haven't seen each other in forever. The rest goes the same with the others. It did feel nice that we are all together again. "So what's the first thing on the list?"

"Set up your living room?" I suggest.

He furrows his brows. "Nah, I'll make Jonah do that. The river looks great for some river rafting."

"We don't have a raft," I point out the obvious. "You bought one, didn't you?"

"Technically Daniel bought it. I just want to hit the water. Anyone up for some river rafting?" Jack shouts at his last phrase. A majority of the hands go up consisting of Jonah, Corbyn, Daniel, and Alice. That just left me and Zach behind. "We'll be back in about an hour, or not. I don't know to be honest."
