Chapter 2

song: My heart is yours by Gabrielle Aplin

Thomas POV

I watch as Brenda walks to the supplies. I get up and head to where Frypan was cooking food. He has made some type of stew. I grab two bowls, they where in the supplies shack but are mostly broken,  one for me and one for Brenda. We will want to eat now, cause who knows when we will get another full meal  while on this trip. Frypan fills them up and I take a seat on the ground as I see her walk up with two big bags. "hey, I got you some stew, or whatever this is.." I say while handing her the bowl. "Thanks, I was wondering, on this trip, we might need some man power. Don't get me wrong you are strong, but I don't want to see you get hurt" she says as she takes my hand and gives it a slight squeeze. "okay, is there someone you have in mind?" I ask. "Jorge". I am taken back by the idea of him still being alive, and going with us. "sure." I say feeling kind of hurt that she doesn't think I can protect her.

"well then let's eat!" she says with a big grin as she scarfs down the soup. I finish my meal and head towards Minho's spot, next to the kitchen sitting down, with Brenda. "hey" I say only to realize he is asleep. "hey!" Brenda yells as she kicks his shoe. "what?!" Minho yells startled. "I want Jorge to come with us" Brenda says as she folds her arms. "fine. that's it!" Minho says before grabbing his bag he was laying on. 

"here's yours Thomas, I packed the stuff I found by the shack" Brenda says while blushing and handing me the bag. I blush as well and pull the bag over my shoulder. "you ready?" asks Jorge as he jogs over to us. "yeah let's start moving" says Minho grabbing his bag. I see Minho and Jorge start walking to the line of trees and I start to walk only to have Brenda stop me by grabbing my hand. I look up at her and see her smiling as we continue walking to the trees.

We are walking for what feels like hours until it gets dark and we set up camp. Brenda sets up beds, Mino maps whee we have traveled and marks landmarks, Jorge makes a fire, and I am preparing some canned vegetables. "finished!" yells Brenda, clearly proud of her work. "well in bored now, we should play a game!" yells Brenda. I see Minho look up and see a grin appear Jorge's face. "sure" I say while cooking the vegetables. "okay, how bout truth or dare?" says Minho with a devilish smirk. "great idea" yells Brenda as we all form a circle while eating the vegetables around the fire. "so who is starting?" I ask looking around the circle.
