I wake up and Tom is wrapped around me dead asleep. I try to get up, but he is absolutely too heavy. I try shaking him, but lucky me, he is a deep sleeper. Instead he holds me tighter, and I have to pee. I grab his arm and unravel it from my waist. He lets go and I sit up. I check my phone for the time, 2:45 am, great. I get up and unzip the tent as quiet as I can.

When I get outside the weather hits me and I quiver. It is freaking cold out here, and of course I don't have a sweater on. I do not want to wake Tom, so I just grab a flashlight and walk to the restrooms. These restrooms were far as hell, why didn't we get a site closer to the restrooms, just my luck.

I finally reach the freaking restroom punch in the code, and walk in. When I walk in the lights are like they are straight out of a horror movie, blinking on and off, well one of them. I feel goosebumps rise on my skin, and hurry to the stall. I quickly use the restroom and wash my hands. I hear something inside the shower and that does it for me. I grab my sh*t and get the hell out of there. When I open the door, I hurry out not looking where I am going and bump into something. I let out a loud shriek, and am relieved when it is Thomas.

"Woah there." He says as he catches me.

"Sorry, I um- just I-." I am at a loss for words, this f**king outside light is hitting him so perfectly.

"Are you okay?" He asks, and gives me that look, my knees instantly feel weak and I stumble.

"Yeah, um I just I-" I struggle to find words, and he smiles again, leaving me even more weak.

"Okay, well I can walk back to the site with you if you're scared." He says as he raises an eyebrow.

"What? I am not scare-" He covers my mouth with his hands and puts a finger over his lips.

"Shhhh. Did you hear that?" He says, and my eyes grow wide with fear, and he laughs.

"Oh, you are so scared." He jokes, and I smack his arm. He is so annoying, but so cute.

"You're a complete jerk. Do you know that?" I say and punch his arm, as he winces as a joke.

"Haha, yeah so I've been told." He shrugs with a smirk, and I just want to kiss him. No, I can't this isn't my boyfriend. I can't help it, I don't know what to do.

"Haha, yeah." I say and turn away. He grabs my chin, and my lips tremble in fear.

"Oh, you so want to kiss me right now." He states licking is lips, and I try and look away but my eyes are glued to his. Instead, I shake my head and he chuckles, showing those gorgeous dimples. I can't do this, Tom is back at the site, and what about Sofia?

"No- I" I whisper, and he shushes me rubbing my cheeks with his thumb.

"Yes, you do. Chloe don't fight it." He says leaning in closer.

"Thomas, please. I can't." I cry out, and he smiles leaning in more.

"Yes, you can." He says, and now his lips are touching mine.

"No- What about Sof-" I am cut off by a wet but warm kiss, my heart beats out of my chest, and I am instantly taken back to high school. I shouldn't be doing this, here making out with Thomas, I have a boyfriend. I try and find a will to stop, but I can't. Now I know why I was so jealous.

"F**k Chloe." Thomas whispers his lips against mine, and I gasp.

"Thomas, we can't." I say as he moves his kisses to my collar bone.

"But baby, we already are." He says gently. He's right about that, but I can't let this go any further, I need to find a way to stop this. He begins moving his hands to my pants and luckily I found a will, I push him off and he scoffs. We are both out of breath, and I can feel my cheeks burning red.

"Thomas, why did you do that?" I say tears welling up in my eyes. I now realize, that I may not want to be with Tom, and now I am left with these insane thoughts.

"Chloe, relax no one seen." He says and he tries to grab me to calm me down, but I push him off.

"No, I still have to live with the shame." I say, and run my hands through my hair. Right now all I want is Tom, and now I can't even have that without feeling guilty.

"Chloe I'm sorry, it was just a heat of the moment thing okay?" He says pulling his hair as he paces back and forth. What is he worried about? He isn't the one who has had a relationship for 1 year and 5 months. He isn't the one who just cheated on the love of his life.

"I can't, I can't. I am going back to the site." I say and he nods.

I walk back, and see the two tents. My heart aches, because the reality now hits me. The reality of cheating, the reality that I just might lose my boyfriend. I know I should tell him, but I decide I will keep this from him, I just need to talk to Thomas, and we can figure this out.

...

"Good morning." Tom says kissing my cheek, and I kiss him back.

"Hey." I smile, and he pokes my dimple, just like he always does. I don't know why the sudden deep interest, maybe it's the guilt. I love him, but I am never this touchy touchy.

"So, what happened last night or this morning?" He ask, and my face grows red.

"I- I- had to use the restroom." I say and he nods, well that was easy.

"Yeah, because I seen you go out of the tent, and then you didn't come back for a while." He says. Okay, he's on to something, but I cannot tell him.

"Yeah, I got lost. The restrooms are surprisingly far." I lie.

"Oh, okay, yeah. Well baby, next time call me okay." He says kissing me sweetly, and I smile against his lips.

"No signal remember." I say waving my hand in the air.

"Right, sorry. Forgot." He chuckles.

"Well, what're we doing today?" I ask him, and he shrugs.

"What do you want to do?" He asks rubbing his hand behind his neck.

"I don't know, this trip is for you remember." I say, wow this trip is for him, and I completely went behind his back. The guilt begins to creep up my back, and I don't know how much longer I can hold this in.

"Yeah, I guess so." He laughs and I smile, getting my stuff ready to go to the showers.

"Well, how about the beach?" He says, and I nod.

"The beach it is." I say a little too suspicious, and hurry out before he can ask me any questions.

...

I walk to the restrooms, and my stomach drops each step. I cannot believe I did that to Tom, and not only Tom but Sofia. I rub my fingers on my lips, and I get flash backs of the kisses we shared last night. I shake my head trying to rid myself of the guilty thoughts, but this time they don't go away.

I arrive at the restrooms and now, the full reality hits me, and it hits me hard. I literally get the aired knocked right out of my f**king lungs. I stop, and grab my chest. I realize how weird I look, but right now it doesn't matter to me. Tom has helped me through everything, bullying, feeling alone, and pursuing my dreams. This is how I repay him? Making out with his best friend. His best friend! Oh, now I understand why Thomas was freaking out. I hurry to the restroom, and swing the door open. Luckily no one was in here. I need to figure this out, I can't keep this from Tom much longer. This feeling is unbearable, this feeling of guilt.
