Not Sorry I Left

Chapter 23

2nd Day of the trip.

The next thing that I remember was Sharon waking me up at 7:30am. I wanted to sleep more but then I realized that today we are going to visit the mysterious cave, this idea really excited me I don't know why.

So, I woke up and woke everyone else also. Then I went to the other rooms to wake up the rest only to find them awake. We were ready to leave at around 9am. We had our breakfast in a local restaurant and then we left for Sanch Architecture, it is something that one has to witness to really understand the perfection in the architecture. After visiting Sanch we went to see the mysterious cave.

The cave was still a mystery to many; it was believed that some prisoners were held captive there and that one day they were all found dead, killed in cold blood except for one who from that day became traumatized and couldn't speak at all. In short he became dumb. It was also believed that there were some dangerous creatures living in the cave. For example a fire breathing dragon. The cave was forbidden for many decades until one day a warrior from a nearby  village went into the cave and killed the dragon. Ever since then the cave was no longer forbidden.

At first I felt scared and nervous, but quickly my feelings changed. Inside the cave was a wonderful land where the colours were brighter, the sounds were more real, and the air was fresher. We spent the whole day in that cave, searching for anything exciting and new we could find.

"Think they'll actually get anything done?" Cyrus says with a grin.

"Who? Jay and Max?"

"Yeah!"

"Eh. Probably not. They'll probably end up kissing or something. I actually hope they do. " I reply. I look at him out of the side of my eye.

"What do you think?"

"I think you are probably right. And I hope so too."

So we go down to the creek which is more like a shallow river; and then I spot a beautiful flower its petals were so beautiful and attractive, but it's in a tree. I stand on a rock underneath the tree, reaching up to grab it.

"Watch out, Rita. I think that rock is a little tipsy."

Cyrus is standing on the ground by the rock, looking up at me. 

"What? It feels pretty stable to m-"

Just as I say that the rock tips and I fall down towards the ground, but Luhan catches me. He looks at me, in a sort of a daze, not saying anything. His arms are around my waist, pulling me close to his chest. I don't want to, but I quite like the feel of his arms around me. For some reason, this makes me blush, and I look away. His eyes widen and he seems to realize he is just staring at me, and then he clears his throat. A small amount of red graces his cheeks. It actually looks good on him. 

"Are- are you okay?"

He looks down towards me, and I am internally screaming at myself, stop blushing!He lets his arms go, and we step away from each other. My skin tingles where his arms were, and I internally sigh.

"Yes, I think so. Thank you, I should have listened when you said it was tipsy. But at least I have my beautiful flower!"
