"Oh my god, stop!" I shout to Calum as he throws berries at me. He's thrown at least 50 already and as he throws, I pick them up. Weird, I know but I'm not wasting any berry he throws.

"No. It's fun!" He says in a childish voice. I laugh and start throwing stuff at him. He opens his mouth and I throw one in. When he notices he got it in his mouth, he starts jumping up and down.

"Ashton!" He shouts, a surprised look still on his face. Ashton turns around almost immediately with a confused look on his face. "I caught a berry in my mouth! Look" He smiles going over to him with his mouth open. I put my hand over my mouth and start laughing. Calum's about to throw another one but someone interrupts.

"WHAT THE FUCK." I hear yelling all the way from the shed. We all turn to look at it; me confused.

Wait. Oh no.

It's Michael that's in the shed. I should've known already from the voice but from some reason I didn't which is weird. He's probably shouting because of the thing that Abi stole. - He doesn't know Abi stole it though; because I hid the note. I hid it in a place I'm pretty sure no one will find. It's a good place because even I don't remember where I hid it. - That's probably a bad thing because if I don't even know where I hid it, then I can't know if they're going near it or not. Oh well.

"Is that Michael?" Luke asks. I roll my eyes.

"Obviously." Me, Calum, and Ashton say at the same time. We then laugh afterwards. We all start walking to the shed to see what happened.

"Who took it?" Michael shouts, his face red with anger. He paces back and forth.

"Calm down, Michael. Is-" I start saying but he interrupts me like he ways does.

"I can't fucking calm down!" He screams and the three of us all look at each other wide-eyed at Michael's voice raise.

"Mickey-" Luke tries saying but he interrupts, again.

"There's no time to talk about mouses. Someone stole something important to me and I want it back now!"

We all look at each other confused even though I know who stole it.

"Guys-" He starts but starts to choke out crying. All of our facial expressions change as we go up to him.

"Michael." I say softly. "What was it?"

He looks up at me. He opens his mouth but then closes it again.

"Tell us." Calum says. Michael glares at him. Calum puts his hands up on defense and walks out the shed. So does Luke and Ashton.

"I-I" He stutters. I give him a hug. He cries even more. "There was this girl- Ugh. No. Never mind. I barely even know you." He shakes his head and starts to walk out.

"Michael!" I run after him, confused. I stare into his eyes. "Michael, what the fuck?"

"You know too much already. You should go, I don't even know why Ashton let you join our team. We're dangerous." He says with no stutters and with complete seriousness. "I-I'm dangerous."

-

"Hey, so what did Michael talk to you about?" Calum asks. I ignore him and keep moving. We've all been walking- Michael a bit behind- to a new area. We found out that staying in one place is dangerous.

"Oh, you can't just not tell me!" He says grabbing my arm. I wince and swing my arm, about to hit him.

"Woah, woah there." Luke says grabbing my arm before it could hit him. I glare at Calum and start walking faster so I'm not near him.

"Everything seems so tense." Ash says once I've caught up to him. He was ahead of all of us.

"Well, we lost a teammate like 2 days after she was joined. Michael is depressed for some reason. And we're moving!" I throw my hands up in the air.

"Hey, you haven't been here long either. I don't know, and not to be rude, but I feel as if you're making things tense around here." He tells me and I stop walking.

"Me? Well if you just let me die and never told me to join your team than maybe things would be fine around here."

"Well, you're right about that." He snaps and I'm left with my mouth hung open.

-

"Aria, stop!" I scream as she comes towards me as a dead. Her face is covered with blood.

She jumps towards me and that's when I wake up.

I'm sweating and panting like crazy. Calum's beside me, holding my hand.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I can tell already he's not good with this stuff because there's something unsteady about his voice.

"Oh yea, I'm fine." I shake my head.

"No. There's one thing I know and that's when someone is not fine and you're obviously not. Tell me what happened. Nightmare?" He looks at me concerned.

"Um.." I look at him. I guess I should just tell him. "Yeah, nightmares."

"Oh, don't worry. You aren't alone. I get nightmares almost every night. I got one once I fell asleep. It was about my mom. Ya know, how she's dead and all." There's a pause where he looks up. He starts blinking a bunch and then he looks back at me. "I miss her."

"Calum." I sigh and give him a hug. He squeezes and I feel a tear drop on my shoulder. We stay like this for a little while more until I say something. "I lost my mom too. It was before all of this though. My mom and dad separated. It wasn't for anything bad, they just didn't love each other as much as they did when they were like little. My mom left and I stayed with my dad." I pause to take a breath. "Later on, I hear my mom died in a car crash. My dad, I don't know why he did this because they were separated, left me alone in the house to go out and kill himself once he found out the news."

Calum looks at me. Wow. Did I really just share all this information with a guy I've only known for about a week?

"J-Jo. I'm sorry-" Once he says 'sorry,' I interrupt.

"I'm sorry I just shared a bunch of my personal life with you." I laugh nervously. "So sappy, cry cry, I know but we shouldn't be. Let's just go back to sleep." I stand.

"What? No, Jo. Really, I am sorry." He stands up as well.

"Stop! Stop, just go to sleep." I walk away but he comes close and crashes his lips onto mine. What the fuck. I push him away from him and rub my lips. "What the hell, Calum!"

"What?" He smirks. "Cmon, let's stop arguing and have a little break."

"No, you're sick. Ugh, ew why am I even here? I need to leave. Michael was right!" I start saying. I grab my berry bag and start walking off.

Wow, what's happening. This is happening fast. I'm already leaving when I just joined.

"Wait what-" Calum starts.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I turn back around, keeping my eyes away from him. "Um, I just overreacted. Let's not talk about my parents. And-" I look at him. "Let's forget about the kiss."
