Luke's POV

Luke woke up shivering under his sleeping bag, that was supposed to be for super low temperatures. He grabbed an extra blanket laying off to his side and tried to warm himself, since it wasn't time to get up yet. He rolled over and looked at Ashton. "He is so perfect," he thought, "I want him so bad." He wasn't even in denial anymore, he wanted Ashton more than anything. He stared at him for a few minutes, and then he couldn't take it anymore, he wanted him to be awake. He wanted to look into his beautiful hazel eyes. "Ash.. Ashton.." Ashton moved a little bit and rubbed his eyes. "Well, good morning, Luke." Ashton smiled at him and sat up and stretched. "How'd you sleep?" Luke smiled at him, "Slept great. Kind of want to go back to sleep." He chuckled and started to get out of the tent. He looked around, and saw Harry already cooking up some bacon. "Good morning, Luke! Are you ready for your first full day of exciting adventures?!" Harry just stood there and smiled at him. "Uhh.. Yeah. But can I get some of that bacon?" "Sure! Just don't eat all of it like you basically did our s'mores!" Harry smiled at him again, and walked back towards his tent. Luke made a face at him behind his back and ate some bacon really fast. "Ash!" he yelled towards the tent with his mouth full, "come get some of this bacon!" Ashton came out of the tent, smiling as usual, with his eyes on the food. "This smells awesome!" He ate a few pieces and drank down some water. "How much water did you bring, Ash?" Ashton looked at his half drank bottle of water. "Uh, this." "Do you think Harry brought more?" "Don't know, probably. It'll be fine though. We're only supposed to be up here for like four days." Luke gulped and tried to ignore how thirsty he was, he forgot water completely. "Idiot," he thought to himself, "stupid idiot." Luke shrugged it off and retied his boots. "Alright, guys. Let's get going!" said Harry, being his enthusiastic self. He pulled out a walkie talkie from his bag. Luke looked at him, really confused. "How does that work up here?" "This was made for these kind of distances and heights, Luke. Very good technology. We just have to send updates every day to the lodge and let them know we're all good." Harry held the walkie talkie to his mouth, "Lodge, can you hear me, it's Harry." The device had a bit of static but he could hear people on the other end, "We gotcha Harry, everything good up there?" "All good!" "Great. Let us know if anything happens." "Okay, now we can get going!" Said Harry, as he slipped the walkie talkie back into his bag. "Let's go!" and they headed up the mountain.

An hour passed and they reached a river. Luke glanced at Harry, who looked at the river like he was thinking of a plan. He turned to the group, "Okay, we have to cross this river. You all ready." Luke look surprised. "How are we supposed to do that?" Harry smiled and said, "We're walking across, on the rocks. I can see that these rocks are fixed into the bed of the river, heavy enough to support us." Luke felt very uncertain about doing that, balance wasn't exactly his strong point. "Uhh.. I think I'll hang out over here, until you all come back." Harry frowned at Luke, "You're gonna be fine! We aren't coming back this way, anyways. And this trip doesn't allow splitting off, too dangerous." Luke scowled, "Dammit, I won't get any time alone with Ash. And I'll never get away from this guy," he thought to himself. He decided that he'd survive, and agreed to do it. "Fine. Let's go." Harry smiled a much more fake smile this time. "Okay, guys, follow my lead. Don't step on a rock that I don't approve of." Harry stepped on the first rock, which he had already checked, and felt the other rocks around him, and continued. Luke focused on his balance, making sure he didn't fall. About twenty-five feet away from him was a waterfall, but he couldn't see how large it was. Once they got to the middle, Luke was over it. His nerves were too bad for this. "If I fall in the water I will definitely get hypothermia, and die going over that waterfall," he thought. He was staying positive for Ash, but couldn't take that right now. He looked to Harry, who looked worried. "Okay, we're going to have to jump to this rock." Luke gulped, he was still a few rocks behind. "It's not a hard jump, though!" said Harry, "just aim for the higher side." Luke watched Harry's technique as he was about to jump. Harry leaped and suddenly fell into the water. All four of the boys screamed in unison. "HARRRRYY!!! HARRRYYYY!!!" screamed Louis, and started crying. Harry was headed right for the water fall. Luke couldn't see his face, but he wasn't grabbing on to any rocks. He had been knocked unconscious. The guys all ran back to the side where they came from and followed Harry's unconscious body down the river. "NO!! He can't go over the waterfall!!" yelled Louis. He jumped in the water, and swam towards Harry. He got close and reached for Harry's leg, both close to the waterfall. He reached out but didn't catch him, and he grabbed a rock to prevent himself from going over. He layed his head on the rock and cried and screamed, then swam back to the other boys and layed limp on the ground and continued to cry. "Louis, it's okay, we're going to go get him," said Niall, trying to comfort him. Louis looked at him with his red face, "What?! You think he's gonna be fucking alive down at the bottom of a fucking fifty foot waterfall?!" He stood up, he was just mad now. "But we are gonna go down there, and get my baby. I will not leave him." Luke stood there, still in shock, he knew they had just lost the only guy who actually knew his way around. He didn't think it was a good idea to go look for Harry. "Does anyone even know how we get down there? It's just a cliff from here." Louis looked at Luke, "No, but we're gonna figure it out." Niall nodded in agreement. They started walking, but Ashton and Luke didn't move. Ashton didn't have a good feeling about it either. "Guys, me and Luke are going back to camp. We all should. That's where we will be safest." Louis gave Ashton a dirty look, "You think I'm gonna leave the love of my life at the bottom of a fucking waterfall. No. If he is alive he needs me." He looked down, trying to hide the tears that were once again running from his eyes. "Fine, you all go. But we're going back. At least stay together." They parted and Ashton and Luke headed back to the camp. Luke looked to Ashton, "Do you think he's alive?" Ashton shook his head, "I don't know, Luke. But let's hope so. Because we need to get out of here eventually." Luke was shaking. Ashton looked at him and noticed how nervous he was. He stopped in his tracks. "Luke, it's gonna be okay, I promise." Luke turned to him and shook his head in agreement, with tears running down his face. Ashton grabbed him and hugged him hard. He rubbed his back to calm him and whispered, "We can make it out alive."
