Love Bites

Chapter 5: First Line

Scott's P.O.V

I hang up the phone, and toss it on my bed as I peel out of my sweater, and change into a semi clean pair of sweats,and lay down in bed. Tomorrow's gonna be awesome! I think to my as I shut my eyes, finally getting some well needed sleep. I shuffle around in my bed restlessly, trying to get comfortable but not quite being able to. I roll over on my stomach, and my soft bed sheets are replaced with dry, crunchy leaves. My eye's shoot open as I take in my surroundings. I'm in the forest? Why the hell am I in the forest? Especially in the middle of the night? I turn on my side, and notice a body laying a few feet away from me, she's curled up in a ball wearing nothing but boxers, and a sweatshirt. I immediately recognize the chocolate brown hair as I look over her again.

"Spen..." I whisper, trying not to be too loud. Nothing, maybe a bit louder? "Spencer!" I call. Still nothing. I don't want to yell because I don't know who or what's out there so I pick up a few rocks, and lightly throw them at her. Is she dead or something? Then it hits me... is she dead? I quickly scramble to my feet, dropping down beside her and shake her lightly.

"Five more minutes Scott!" She groans, hitting my face like an alarm clock snooze button. I let out a deep breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"Spencer you have to get up. Now." I say shaking her more.

"Scott what do you mean the sun's-" She stops complaining when see notices her soundings. "Scott what the fuck?!" She yells slapping my arm. I quickly cover her mouth with my hand.

"Shhh, I think there's something out there." I whisper, and she slowly nods her head. We quickly crawl out to find that the sun is indeed out, and that we were sleeping in a cave. A fucking cave?!

"Scott, how the hell did we get here?" She questions, rubbing her hands together to keep herself warm.

"I don't know?"

"How do we get home?"

"I don't know..." I snap frustratedly, rubbing my temples to try and clear my head. I feel small hands wrap around my arm and I look down to see Spencer giving me a small smile.

"Don't worry, we'll find our way back." She assures, gently squeezing my arm. We begin walking through the forest, but it's kind of hard to know where we're going with all this fog. We stop in a small clearing, and look around for anything really. In the distance I spot a black figure, kind of like the one I saw the night Spencer and I got attacked. I look closer, and the animal starts moving forward, towards us. I grab Spencer's arm, pulling her with me as I take off.

"What?! What is it?!" She panics, trying to keep up with my rushed strides. I point to the animal in the not so far distance and I hear a faint 'for fucks sake' behind me. We start sprinting; trying to get away from whatever is chasing us. Every few strides I see it getting closer and closer. There's a small fence up ahead and we both jump over, not knowing that it leads to water, a ice cold water. We both resurface, panting heavily as we look around us to see where we are and where that thing went. All I see are trees, trees everywhere! Oh wait, there's a ledge and a man, watering his plants looking at us like a bunch of crack heads swimming in his pool early in the morning.

"Morning!" Spencer and I both call with small, awkward smiles as we swim out of his pool and run out his backyard completely soaked in our underwear.

Spencer's P.O.V

This morning has been beyond weird. First I wake up practically naked next to Scott in some fucking cave! Then we run for us lives from the thing that probably attacked us a few nights ago. Then we end up in some guys pool and now we have lacrosse practice and I'm pretty sure Jackson is gonna try to kill Scott. Let's just see how this plays out... I'm sitting alone in the girls' locker room, as usual, lacing up my cleats getting ready for practice when I notice my headband's missing.
