They hadn't noticed my arrival or they just chose to ignore me, they were still sucking each other's faces off. I stood there watching with wide eyes feeling sick, I wanted scream, shout at them, do something... anything, but I couldn't I was frozen on the spot.

Jordan must have felt my presence because at that moment he looked up, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets when he saw me, stood there open mouthed, eyes as big as saucers, tears brimming in my eyes. He instantly tore away from Shannon,

"What? Why did you stop? Jordan?" Shannon's whining seemed distant to my ears. The shock began to wear off and the pain of betrayal began to make itself known in my heart. I was hurt and going to break down crying any minute.

"Isabelle-" What every he had to say I didn't want to hear it, not now, not yet, I needed time to think. Before he could say anything else I turned around and ran towards the woods. "ISABELLE WAIT I CAN EXPLAIN!"

I carried on running, ignoring his pleas, I needed to get away from here and clear my head. I ran blindly into the woods, watery eyes blurring my vision. The further I got into the woods the blurrier my vision became, and the blurrier my vision came the more I tripped. I fell quite a lot and my hands were sore and dirty but I don't think I scrapped them. In attempt to not fall down quite as much I slowed down, taking deep breaths to calm myself and help my sight.

Slowing down until I came to a halt, I leant against a tree, panting while trying to unsuccessfully take deep breaths. Slowly my breathing evened out and my heart rate slowed down, I could now hear more of my surroundings instead of my shaky breath and wild heart. I stood there for a fairly long time, calming down, and it actually worked. By the time I had finished I was reasonably calm, only then did I start to take in my surroundings.

Trees were everywhere and there was a faint sound of rushing water, and water crashing against something... like rocks. My mind didn't register doing it but somehow my feet pulled myself up and started walked towards the sound. It was like it was calling out to me in some weird way.

I started to weave my way through all the trees, the sound getting louder and louder the further I went. The trees started to get thinner and thinner until I reached the edge of them.

Once out of the forest I was stood on the edge of something out of a fairytale. The sound of the water crashing down on the rocks was everywhere, but it was calming. Everything about this place was peaceful, the sound of the rushing water and the wildness of the flowers. It must have been the best place in the world, it was my kind of place, peaceful, stress less, beautiful and out of this world.

There were rocks all around the river and they looked so welcoming, like they were calling me to go and sit on them. They did look a bit too close to the water and normally I would be too afraid of falling in to go sit in them but right now I didn't care if I did fell in and drowned. If I did fall in I wouldn't be that bothered anyway, the lake wasn't that strong and I would probably be able to swim out. Actually the thought of swimming in there felt quite relaxing the only place I probably wouldn't be able to swim out from is probably from underneath or close to the waterfall.

Going and sitting on the rocks I was in a surprisingly good mood given the circumstances, it must be this place. It couldn't be anything else especially with what happened before. Just thinking of it started to demolish my good mood, and I wasn't having that, tried unsuccessfully to block all thoughts related to THAT.
