Chapter 6

Austin's P.O.V.

She's different. Not in a bad way. A good, no, great way! I like her but I can't tell her. It will ruin our friendship and I don't want to ruin it. It's amazing.

"Austin?" I hear coming from inside the tent. "Yeah?" I answered back. "I can't go to sleep and I'm freezing." She said with a whimper. "One second." I said walking over to the tent. I wrapped her in the blanket she had ontop if her, picked her up, and carried her out to the fire. I set up extra chairs just incase anyone wanted to come sit near it.

"Thanks." she said, and I just nodded my head still thinking.

Allison's P.O.V.

Austin is such a sweetheart. He wrapped me in the blankets and carried me out to a chair near the fire.

"Thanks." I said. He just nodded staring into the fire. I looked into the fire and then looked at him. "You look confused." He said looking at me breaking his stare into the fire.

"Yeah, you carried me out here and then you just stare at the fire, that's what confused me." I said with a little but of sass in my tone. "What else am I supposed to do. Say 'hey nice scratches I wonder who caused them.' That's not how I want it to go." He said screaming quietly trying not to wake Michelle and my mom up.

"Do you want to go for a walk and talk about this?" I said trying to solve the problem. "No. Goodnight." He said leaving me outside of the tent. He went in the tent and laid down. I felt bad for using all the blankets, so I got up and hopped over to the tent. I took some blankets off if the ground and covered him. I put a pillow underneath his head because he didn't look comfortable.

I kissed him on the cheek and said "Thanks for helping me earlier. Goodnight." I laid down and I turn the opposite way of him I closed my eyes and a few seconds later I got a response. "Night."

Austin's P.O.V.

I feel bad. After I said that I felt terrible. I didn't want to get too frustrated so I just came in the tent. I felt bad after I came in too because her ankle hurt. I really don't think she cares though because she came in and covered me with more blankets and put a pillow underneath my head. The kissed my cheek and said "Thanks for helping me earlier. Goodnight." She turned around and a few seconds later I said "Night."

~Morning~

I woke up at 6:43 which is highly unusual for me. But I couldn't go back to sleep. I went in the car and grabbed the food for this morning. After I set it up it was about 7:00. I ate then I went back in the tent.

Allison's P.O.V.

I woke up and I looked above me and Austin was hovering over me. "Goodmorning beautiful." He said smiling. I almost screamed but I held it in. "What time is it?" I said in a low raspy tone.

"Its morning." He said smirking. I hit his arm but then I whimpered. My arm was killing me. The pain was really intense. It was a giant brush burn from the tree. He then got up and picked me up with him. "You know you don't have to carry me around anymore." I said. "I thought you ankle hurts." he said confused. "It's probably just a sprain, I'll get over it." I said.

I don't like it when people have to help me walk. But I can walk it off, I just need to not think about it. "Seriously what time is it though?" I asked. "I don't know let me check the solar power clock, I'll be right back." He said running back to the car. I get up and limped out of the tent. There was a table set up with cereal and milk on it. I sat down at the table and poured in the cereal. Then I added the milk, picked up my spoon, and devoured the cereal.

Austin came back. "It's 7:47, partly cloudy but the sun is low today, shining bright right infront of me." He said. We laughed and I took a water bottle and rinsed my bowl out. I put it in a bag and then in the trunk. "Do you want to take a walk?" Austin asked. "Oh wait." He said pausing. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Your foot." he said. "No it's fine I'll get over it, I could really use a walk anyway." I said laughing.

"Ok let's go!" Austin said cheerfully. A few minutes passed and I brang up last night. "So why do you keep blaming yourself for me falling?"
