'Hey, fancy a weekend away? X'

While I was waiting for his reply I walked around the lake to my main cabin. I unlocked the door and opened the curtains to let some of the sunshine in and to try and warm the place a little. I grabbed a cloth and started to dust so that it didn't look so gloomy or dusty.

I had just finished the dusting when my phone pinged James had finally replied 'I would love one, romantic eh, what do you have planned??? When would you like me to come get you? Xx'

My response unlike his was within minutes 'Yes romantic, could you drive up to the cabin by the lake? I'm already here. Xxx'

'See you in 45. Would you like me to bring anything?'

'Just yourself and maybe some night clothes for me please.'

'Okay, be there soon.'

Leaving my phone inside on the table I left the cabin and walked around the back to the old log shed, hoping that it has been filled by the groundskeeper. Once unlocked I found 6 large logs and took them back into the cabin and placed 4 of them in the metal bucket by the fire place and the other 2 on the fire. Not wanting to waste time I cast a quick spell called 'flamous' it's one that I created so that I would be able to create fire without having to use someone else's spells. Violate recommended it to me by saying 'Every which should have her own spell s and talent's.' 

Once the fire was burning steady and creating a nice flame I walked over to the cupboard under the sink and grabbed some candles. I placed them on the table, lit them and then walked over to the weirdly modern cooker and started to cook some pasta and sauce. I was so lucky that the groundskeeper kept the cupboards well stocked and the food in date. 

The room looked perfect, so different but yet so familiar like the cabin I was originally given a few years ago apart from the new kitchen. The room was very romantic; a knock on the door pulled me out from my memories and into the present. I turned down the stove and walked over to the door and opened it.

Stood outside were Jeremy, Tammy, Lexi, Caleb, Todd and James. I was a little confused mean I had said romantic weekend away hadn't I so why did they come here. I moved aside so that they could come in and they made their way to the table. They all sat down and it looked like I would be cooking for them as well. Annoyed at this I said 'So am I cooking for you all or what's the plan?'

James said 'Nope, they are here to ask you something?'

'Really, I wouldn't have guessed that. What do you want from me this time?'

Todd started to speak 'Well the thing is Jeremy has said we should all stay out here and Jeremy has offered his second cabin to Lexi and Caleb and he said why don't I ask you if I could stay in your second cabin.'

I sighed and looked at Jeremy with a disappointed and pained gleam to my eyes. I couldn't believe he would suggest something like that to me. I had only just started to come back here and now he wants me to let someone else stay in my cabin. The place we hung out together with Gerald.

I walked towards him looked in his eyes and then turned and left. I had just opened the door when Jeremy said 'Lily please, I'm sorry i....' I didn't hear the rest by that point I was out of the door and on my way anywhere but that cabin.

I walked for a while until I got to the old boat that I had built with Gerald and looked at the carving on the side. I had did this and cut my finger in the process. Gerald told me I could care anything I wanted onto the boat and that would be the vessels name so I carved 'Lone survivor' I climbed into the boat and pulled out my phone and texted Todd 'Come meet me and come alone. I'm on a boat by the last dock on the lake, don't tell anyone your coming to meet me. I need a friend to talk to.'
