It's you

Chapter 14

Alfie's P.O.V
I woke up earlier than usual. I slowly moved my arm away from being around her so that she wouldn't wake up and I put the blanket over her shoulders. Slowly, I tiptoed out of the tent and made my way to Megan's. Quietly, i unzipped the tent.

"Psst!" I loudly whispered.
"What do you want?" Megan whispered just so that I could barely hear it.
"I need to talk to you." I whispered quietly as she got up and walked over to me.
"What do you want it's like 6am" Megan groaned.
"Why is Natalie mad at me?" I whispered rubbing my neck.
"Ask her dumbass and I wouldn't say shes 'mad' more of 'sad' now I'm going back to sleep night or morning urged whatever" She moaned as she collapsed back into her blanket.

Hmm, il ask her when she wakes up. Quietly, i unzipped our tent and slowly creeped back in my original position and wrapped my arm around her. It's probably like 7am and I still can't sleep. I might take a walk. Should I? Am I really talking to myself... Anyway, maybe il find a bird or something. Wow I'm sad. I need fresh air and a nice walk should do good.

Between me and...me. I love walks I find them kinda the best thing in the world. It can be happy sad funny or anything. It's also a time to think what I need, bbe things I need to be happy in life. Well, that just got deep.

Natalie's P.O.V
I woke up with Alfie's arm around me again. The fact he likes Ellie I still can't get over. I don't even want to open my eyes. I turned around to face Alfie to see if he was awake. He was.

"Alfie if you love Ellie then why do you always hug me?" I tiredly asked.
"I don't love Ellie." He sighed.
"Don't deny it everyone knows you do. The way you look at her." I almost choked on my words but kept strong.
"I look at her like I look at any other person. Even if I did, which I don't, why would you care anyway?" He sighed again.
"Ermm, because you didn't tell me." I lied.
"Oh okay" He sighed louder.
"What you wanna do now?" I asked.
"Hmm what can we do?" He questioned.
"I dunno, music?" I suggested, just because it's less effort.
"Yeah sure." He agreed.

I pulled out my phone and put it on shuffle. I'm sick of the playlist, i can't listen to it right now. Even though I put it on shuffle, Ed Sheeran still came on. Seriously? My heart rate increased. I'm still facing Alfie but with my eyes closed. At this time, we have one blanket we are sharing between us. I kept my eyes close and closely analysed the lyrics and how each and every one of them relate to Alfie. Why is he so perfect? I sighed.

"Something wrong?" Alfie asked. He must've heard my sigh.
"N-yeah" I admitted.
"Tell Alfie" He said, hugging me even tighter.
"I just feel alone..." I whispered.
"How so?" He whispered.
"All these love songs make me feel unloved..." I sighed.
"You are loved Natalie!" Alfie almost shouted.
"No I'm not and I know I'm not Alfie, you don't have to lie for me." My heart skipped a beat.
"Well I love you Natalie" he said hugging me even more tighter.
"Yeah yeah, lemme guess. As a friend or or as a best friend!" I said, kinda regretting what I said.
"Suree...." He sounded confused.
"Wanna know a secret?" I laughed slightly.
"Hit me" He raised an eyebrow.
"I have a diary that I got given to me to help me with problems" Wait a minute, why did I tell him that.
"Oh do you..." He sounded confused.
"I don't even know why I'm telling you this, it's erm at home though..." I lied, it was in my bag.
"Well I could be your human diary." He comforted me. I blushed a little.
"We'd better go and see if the others are up so we can get the next activity.."I said awkwardly.

We ran out the tent like little kids to see who could reach the others first. Being the usain-bolt that he is, Alfie won, I sat on a log and pouted like a little kid. He just stared at me laughing. I jumped up and shouted:

"Let's go and get our next activity!"
"Okay okay, no need to be that excited.

At the activity giving point thingymajigg
"Okay campers-" I cringed at her choice of language.
"Your next activity is... Who can find the weirdest or nicest flower/leaf/stone" I sighed. Was that really our activity?
"Is that really our activity?" Alfie whispered to me, it's like he read my mind.
"I know right" I whispered back.
"Ugh lets make our way bag to camp" Megan moaned as we started to head off to camp.
"What one of those objects shall we find anyway?" I asked, a useless question.
"Meh, whichever one if anyone comes across one." Freddie stated. I shrugged my shoulders.

We took a slow walk back to camp this time. We were well and truly tired, I don't even know why we've slept so much. Maybe it's that we have nothing to do and are generally bored out of our minds. I could suggest for all of us to nap... It might come in useful, I can ask Alfie about Ellie and reason with him. I'm not going to tell him that I like him just yet.

"Hey you guys im going to lay down!" I shouted out, I knew they would all do so too.
"Yeah me too!" I heard muffled agreements as I zipped the tent down.
"Don't shut the zip on me you idiot!"I heard someone scream from the outside.

I opened the zip to find Alfie standing there, not looking impressed.
