Why Him ?

The Cabin

Just over a hour later we arrived at the cabin, to see that Nic and Ben along with Pam had beat us there. I smiled as we both got out of the car and headed to the boot to grab our cases, grabbing one each we pulled them along behind us as we headed over to the cabin, I knocked on the door then walked in. "Mom were here" I shouted out to Pam, we placed the cases next to the door and walked through to the kitchen hand in hand. "Hey sweetie" she said as I walked over to the fridge and grabbing two cans of Pepsi, "I forgot how much I loved this place" I said to no one in particular "I know it's been years since I was last here" Jasper said looking around again "Brings back so many good memories when I visit with you and Ben, I think you two spend more time here alone, than we all spend here" Pam said smiling at me "I know we like to come and just spend time here, our childhood was spent around here, we grew up with everyone here, it's nice to just come and sit looking at the memories on the walls" Pam nodded kissing my cheek, I smiled at her as Jasper pulled me into him hugging me. "I miss having Liam and John around here too though, it feels like there with us when were here" I said looking at Pam she nodded, agreeing with me. Jasper kissed the top of my head and I smile leaning my head up to him and kissing him on the lips. A couple of minutes later Nic and Ben came out of there rooms making loads of noise as usual. I smiled looking at them and they both hugged me. "Hey guys, campfire tonight?" Nic asked smiling at me, I nodded "yeah sure, Pam is that ok?" Jasper asked. Pam nodded towards us "go and get unpacked you two, Ben, Nic you two can go and start pulling the things out from the basement and put them outside" the two nodded and headed off downstairs while Jasper and me walked along to our room grabbing the cases on the way.

After half an hour we had finished unpacking and put things away that we wanted, I started to wander around the room looking at the pictures I had started to collect and sick them to the walls, photos of me and Darren, Ben, Nic and the girls, Alex, Liam and me, I was basically looking at my childhood memories and smiling, I even saw a couple of photos of my parents when they were together, then ones where my dad actually spent time with us. It was weird seeing how many photos I had around the room and how many photos that held so many memories, but in another way it was nice to look back and see how our lives had changed. Jazz was laying on the bed and I spotted my camera on the side, I picked it up and took a photo of him, he looked so handsome. I lay down on the bed next to him with the camera in my hand, I kissed him cheek and took a photo of us together, he then opened his eyes and saw that I was taking photos, he smiled and took the camera off me and kissed me on the lips, seeing the flash going off. 

We lay there a little longer, just taking photos and being together. It had been a couple of months since me and Ben had been up here, and truth being told this is where I come when I want to escape for a while. After another 5 or so minutes passed, I decided to go help Ben and Nic with the stuff, getting up and grabbing a jacket I headed over to the door. "Where you going?" Jazz asked sitting up, "I'm going to go give them a hand setting up for tonight" he nodded "I'll come help too" I nodded "I'll meet you out there" he nodded again and I head out the door and along to the kitchen where I could hear Pam making something, the waff of pancakes greeted me as I got to the kitchen. "Hey mam, are they back yet?" I asked sitting down on one of the bar stools. "Yeah there outside sweetie" she said turning to look at me, "ok" I stated as I stood up to go out and see what they were doing "I'm happy that you and Jazz are back together sweetie, he's a good guy, and hes good for you, don't ever let him go again" I smiled and nodded then continued to leave thinking about what Pam just said to me, she's never said anything like that when I've been with anyone else. I guess mothers do know best sometimes though.

I continued my walk about outside to see what Nic and Ben were doing to see them placing more seats down next to the barbecue. "hey guys do you want me to get some wood for the fire?" I asked they looked up and smiled "Don't you mind hun?" Ben asked I shook my head "cause not" as I walked down the stairs from the porch into the forest, chainsaw in hand "Hey babe, wait up I'll help" I heard someone shout from behind me, I turned to see Jazz jogging down the stairs to catch up to me, I smiled and waited for him to catch up to me. Once we were side by side we started to walk together down the trail into the forest, as we got half way into the trail we headed off right into the forest to start cutting some wood to put around the fire. After 4 were cut we chopped them up and placed them into the bags I had; ready to be taken back. We walked back to the cabin making small talk about things. Once we were back I placed my bag into the house to dry out and then started to help Jazz to build the support up for the fire, once we were done we went to help Ben and Nic finish getting out the hammocks and the rest of the big chairs out ready for tonight. Once we were finished we headed back inside to see that Pam was still working around the kitchen like a wiz "Mom do you want some help?" Ben asked looking at her worried. "Yeah sure hun, if you want to" we all nodded and I asked "What do you want us to do?" ready to grab onto whatever she needed, "Nic and Ben do you both want to make some sandwiches for later? Great. Now sweeties Jazz will you mix some more fillings for the pies and Alice darling will you make the pastry for the pies and some quiches hun" we all nodded and started our jobs as she instructed them.
