My Princess Song (One Direction FanFic)

Run to the Woods

            “Ouch, damn it,” I cussed as another branch decided to attack me. I crouched down exhausted; emotionally and physically. I had been running for what seemed like forever and ended up in a nearby forest. In retrospect I might have been a bit overly dramatic when I discovered Angelina and Josh kissing in the back seat, but for all I knew she fell on top of him. I mean why did I even care? I just kept making excuses for him every time I found him with some other girl. My mind told me not to forgive him, but my heart was already his again. It was stupid, I knew that, but I kept crawling back to him. I had Niall now, and that was all that mattered. Shit Niall, they were all probably worried about me! Well, not everyone, but everyone that mattered. I stood up and realized two things: one, I had no clue where I was, and two I really had to pee! I looked around trying to spot a landmark that looked familiar but everything looked the same. I grabbed my phone from my back pocket and turned on the flashlight app. Still that didn’t make much of a difference and the eeriness of the woods was starting to get to me. I half expected a serial murder to jump out of the nearest bush wearing a hokey mask and wielding a chainsaw. It was crazy, but I kicked the bush next to me just to make sure. My phone vibrated giving me a heart attack.

            “Hello?” I whispered.

            “Cara? Where the hell are you?” Harry yelled into my ear.

            “Harry calm down,” I said in a slightly louder whisper.

            “I can’t hear you.” He stated.

            “Sorry,” I said a bit louder, still keeping a wary eye on the mysterious bush.

            “So where are you?” He asked again.

            “In the woods,” I bit my bottom lip with nervous jitters waiting for his reaction.

            “And why the hell are you there?” He said in a surprisingly calm voice.

            “Because I have a death wish,” I stated sarcastically. “Why do you think?”

            “Well,” I imagined him sighing and fixing his hair the way he did whenever he was nervous. “I honestly don’t know do you have a death wish?” he finally finished.

            “Of course not,” it was my turn to sigh. “It’s just been a long day.”

            “I hear that. Look, just stay where you are, Niall’s freaking out thinking that you were abducted or something. Zayn is out looking for you.” As soon as he said that I heard someone distantly calling my name.

            “Zayn?!” I called back.

            “Cara!” he said only a lot closer this time. “God Cara, why the hell are you out here?” he pushed through the underbrush and stumbled on a root.

            “I'm sorry OK?” I said a bit too harshly.

            “Yeah I found her Liam, tell Niall to stop hyperventilating.” He said into his phone.

            “He’s here Harry,” I said into my own phone.

            “Get back safely, you hear?” he said.

            “Alright,” I smiled and hung up. “So,” I looked nervously up at Zayn. “What’s up?” I shuffled my foot back and forth in the dirt in front of me.

            “‘What’s up?’!” he yelled making something jump off of the tree above us. “Cara you scared the crap out of us.” I looked down at my feet shamefully. “No, I'm sorry come here.” He opened up his arms and I fell into them.
