Lost boy // 5SOS

Two

The boys and I seen a little fire cozy near the lake, so we sat down by it and had a little fire, thanks to Ash who had started it.

"I'll be right back.." I say quietly as I ran to get the marshmallows from the truck.

When I came back I stopped, because I seen all the boys looking at me.. As if they had been talking about me, I just kind of looked down and brushed it off.

We sat in silence for a long time, passing out marshmallows and such.. I don't think anyone knew what to say and I sure as hell didn't know why it was this awkward.

"Did I do something..?" I ask covering my hands with my sleeves and looking down.

"N-no." Michael said making me look up. "You just looked kind of upset, you don't need to be taking your pills again or-"

"No Michael," I interrupted. "You know me it just kind of comes back sometimes." I looked into the fire admiring the beauty.

"Well let's sing some campfire songs to cheer you up!" Calum beamed.

I nodded and smiled. "Any ideas?" I asked looking around the group.

I was actually about to suggest a song until Michael I think decided what we should sing.

"Let's gather round the campfire and sing our campfire song our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song, and if you don't think we can sing it faster then your wrong, but it'll help if you just sing along!" And that's where everyone joined in.

We sang it multiple times, the song getting faster and faster, it was actually so fun we were so tired from it we went and lied down on the beach and didn't end up singing anymore campfire songs.

"Guys I'm gonna go for a walk, okay?" I stood up, grabbing my jacket and walking in the opposite direction of them.

"Wait," Calum started. "There's bears and such, so I'm coming with you." He then stood up as well.

Me and Calum mostly just walked in silence, not an awkward silence, just a calming one.

I walked, staring at my feet barely looking up at Calum.

"Why do you do that?" He asked breaking the silence.

"Hm?" I hummed back in response, tilting my head to the side.

"You stare at your feet, it makes you look sad." He looked back up at me and stopped. "You're not overly sad right? Not like before?" He asked clearly worried.

"No no Calum, I'm not sad, I think it's just a habit, it's really relaxing, I just enjoy looking at them, kind of like how some people observe animals, I just observe my feet I guess." I laughed, and he did too. "Sorry, I was trying to lighten the mood, but yeah it's honestly nothing to worry about." He nodded and we walked, until we ended up just going into a complete circle and ending up back at the campsite.

"Finally, let's go crash in the car." Michael decided and easily enough we all agreed.

Sure it was hard but we all fell asleep in the tight, tiny space of the car. Ashton and Calum clearly getting the best seats in the front.
