The Camping Trip

Chapter SEVEN

~SEVEN~

Night time came rolling around and I was feeling bored. I was sitting on the front porch of the cabin filing my nails. They get so long sometimes and when I shower or wanna zip up my jeans they get so annoying.

I got a text from Brody.

Brody:

- hey pooh-bear :)

I smiled and replied.

Me:

- are you going to stick with those nicknames forever?

Brody:

- forever and ever ;)

Me:

- your so immature

Brody:

- am not!

Me:

- you keep telling yourself that ;)

Brody:

- what are you doing?

Me:

- sitting on the porch swinging, u?

Brody:

- talking to my girl

I felt an unpleasant feeling when he said that. Am I jealous? No, because I don't like Brody. I'm just happy because were re-connected as friends but that's it. That attempt to kiss him was probably just me feeling lonely and since I was drunk, I took advantage of the moment.

Me:

- oh your seeing someone now?

Brody:

- no why?

Me:

- you said you were talking to your girl

Brody:

- I was talking bout you Frost

Me:

- I'm your girl?

Brody:

- your my best friend Winnie, so yeah, your my girl

Me:

- but we've never hung out or done anything together since we were thirteen

Brody:

- you were always still my best friend. I distanced my self away from everyone because I got hurt when you left me to go to New York City when your parents had told you that they were going to stay for a few months longer. But those months turned to three years. And when you left me I was so depressed, I didn't see anyone of my friends because I knew that one day they're going to leave me too. I thought being secluded was better for me because I wouldn't be able to get hurt. Plus when you came back you didn't even try to make things better. You just thought I was ignoring you because I hated you. I never hated you I just wanted you to know that I was angry at you for leaving me.

That was a long message and at the end of it I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I never knew that by me leaving him behind he would be so mad and not want to hang out with his friends. So, it's all my fault he's the way he is now.

Me:

- Brody can I see you?

Brody:

- yeah, I'll meet you outside your cabin in five.

I didn't reply as I quickly got off the swing and walked inside to get ready. Amber and her posy were doing painting on each other's toes and nails. Dana was on the phone talking to some guy while Gina was painting on her toes. Audrey was painting on Amber's toes and Justine was painting on Gina's. In a way, the looked like they were having a good time and I envied that cause I still haven't had a chance to do that with my girls. Speaking of my girls, there not here. I wonder where they are. I quickly got dressed in my white skinny leg jeans and a black hoodie jumper.
