Dakota

Feels

Gracie

I walk into our little house to see Dakota shirtless, on the phone. "Well, find a fucking way!" he snaps and I flinch, about to leave, until he notices me. He takes a breath and lets it out. "I'll call you later" he hangs up the phone and look at me. "You good?"

I nod. "Just tired"

"Oh yeah!" he smacks his forehead. "Sorry, me too, I'll turn the light off"

"Wait-" I stop him and he turns to me. "Is there a nightlight in here?"

He shakes his head. "No? Why?" he asks and I gulp, making him quietly laugh. "You're afraid of the dark?"

"Well... I mean..." I sigh "yes"

He chuckles and I groan. "Sorry sorry" he laughs and walks out of the little house, causing me to watch him in confusion.

What's he doing?

Seconds later, he walks back in with a nightlight. "Got one for your outlet" he hands it to me and I smile.

"Thanks. It's fucking freezing in here" I shiver and he laughs.

"Oh yeah, I like to sleep with the ac on full blast. Get use to it, chica" he winks and ruffles my hair, turning off the light. "Night!" he hops on the top bunk.

I chuckle and put in the nightlight. "Night!"

I think he's the first Archer to always be happy.

"TODAY'S THE DAY!!" Alex, Dakotas best friend, cheers.

"ICE CREAM!" Dakota and Logan, Axels best friend, shout in unison.

"Aren't you suppose to be on your diet, Dakota?" Jagger, Axels other best friend and also Logan's brother, laughs.

Dakota shrugs. "I was. But it's Alabama! Only once a year! I can have my diet any other time, but right now, I wanna get fat"

I burst out laughing and everyone else laughs along.

But Hudson.

"That's a mood" Zachary, Axels OTHER best friend, laughs.

"Everyone's pulling in already" Hudson looks over and we follow his eyes that aim to a bunch of cars driving down to the cabin.

"Well, we better get going" Axel laughs and Melissa jogs out, noticing me.

"Gracie!! Hi! Sorry I didn't say hi to you yesterday, I wasn't feeling too good" she puts her hand on her forehead.

I chuckle and shake my head. "You're fine!!"

"Gracccieee!" Tracy hugs me and I hug her back. "My little sisters little sister in law"

I laugh. "Soon!"

"I cant want!" she chirps and I nod in agreement.

"Where's Abby and Amelia?" Tracy walks out of her camper, looking around.

"Over here!" Amelia exclaims with Abby behind her on the four wheeler.

Tracy groans. "Girls! Don't do that!"

"Mom, we're literally going down to the cabin" Abby groans in annoyance at her mom.

Teenagers.

Wait... I'm one...

"Lose the attitude and you'll stay here" Tracy snaps and they drop their jaws.

"We didn't do anything!!" Abby puts her hand on the seat.
