~~~Alex's Pov~~~

Yesterday was amazing, we were holding hands all the time, and we kissed once in a while. It was so perfect. Then at night we just cuddled while holding hands and looking up at the stars. I eventually fell asleep on top of his chest like a pillow. It was now around four AM but I could not fall back asleep with the waterfall roaring behind me and once in a while feeling slight drops of water dampen my hair and moist my skin.  I got up and decided to make breakfast considering Luke was a heavy sleeper he won't be up in a while. I collected some water from the waterfall and several berries from a bush nearby.

~~~Luke's Pov~~~

I woke up but Alex waasn't there. Had she ran away? I just sat there waiting, probably for nothing, my mind going crazy through all the worst possible scenarios. Although one thought pof her maybe just going to fix up breakfast. 

Right when I was going to get up to look for her she showed up. She was peeking through a berry bush. obviously surprised that I was awake.

She slowly walked towards me relief rushing through me. As she came closer I realized she had a few things in her hand. One was a refilled water bottle and the other were some berries! No wonder she was behind the berry bush!

"What did you think I ran away?"

~~~Alex's Pov~~~

When I went back, I was surprised to see Luke awake, science he was never up this early. He looked worried for a moment, but it washed off.

He was dragging logs and stones around, and before I realized he had this whole table and plates and 'chairs' set up. I was surprised!

"Do you like it?"

"Yea it's nice!"

"Good!" He said smiling

We sat down for breakfast and we made some small talk. we were sat across from each other, therefore our hands weren't intertwined. We had the berries and hot chocolate, to make that we just melted some chocolate we found left over in my back back into some water from the waterfall. It was surprisingly good and scince it wasn't specially warm, it helped to heat up. We got up and packed our things so we could get going. 

"Are you ready?" He asked with a cheeky smile.

"Lets go!" I said with enthusiasm.

We were walking around for a while, around two hours, our hands intertwined. when we heard a loud roar.

There was a striped creature crawling behind the trees. I could spot some orange and some black. Luke started approaching the creature, not listening to my cry's. As he approached it the roars got louder and louder. As he separated the two trees, I froze and collapsed to the ground with happiness. It was a baby tiger with a thorn stuck in it's paw. Luke carefully reached out to help it, but it wouldn't let him. Therefore I slowly walked up to it.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked worried.

"100 percent!" I said.

I slowly walked up to the tiger and put my hand up to her nose so she would get used to my smell and knew that I wasn't going to harm her. I then moved on to her paw and made a quick movement to remove the thorn so she wouldn't feel it. I succeeded and it didn't look like it hurt her,  so I wasn't in danger. I slowly leaned in to pick her up, she let me with ease. She was so soft!

"Do you think I can touch her?" Luke asked.

"You can try!"

He scrunched his nose at me, while bringing his hand to the back of the tiger. 

"She's really soft."

"Yea she is."

I was holding her in my arms like a baby. I realized that it was funny how we looked like a family. At that moment it hit me. Where was the mom?

"Luke it's mother, we don't know where she is!"

"Should we go look for her?"

"Yea!"I said in a duh tone.

We were walking around with the baby walking by my side, and after what seemed for ever, I felt my eyes start to tear up. Right infront of us was a dead tiger. It had barely any blood right then I realized that Tigy had some blood on her too. Did the mother die giving birth?(Yes I called the tiger Tigy, deal with my creativeness.) 

"Oh my god!" I whispered.

Luke wrapped his long arms arround me noticing that I was crying. Tigy didn't recognize her own mother so she just stayed by my side, licking my hand.
