Camp Echo Falls (Completed)

Chapter 10

Jade's POV

Will didn't mind me kissing Naomi. He let me know that by whispering, "That was so hot." in my ear. I'm happy Will wasn't pissed about it, because in reality I didn't have another choice.

The only boy that I could kiss would have been Leo, but there is no way I would ever kiss him.

He's hot. Yeah. But I would never do that to Will.

Kissing Jax would have been wrong and the same for Eli. I would have felt bad for Alison because I know she would be too embarrassed to kiss me like that in front of everyone.

So Naomi was my only option.

Kissing her didn't feel as weird as I though it would. And it didn't feel wrong. Obviously it did, as it wasn't Will. But the fact she was a girl instead of a guy, strangely didn't feel any different.

It felt more passionate, but that was only because I knew it would have turned Will on.

Jax has another turn and so does Alison, they both pick truth and have to answer on of Eli's many questions. Naomi excitedly claps her hands as Alison tells the group about her first kiss.

Ugh. This floor is so uncomfortable. There's too many twigs and leaves scattered around, pocking my bare legs and I want to sit at my seat on the tree, but I have to stay here and play this stupid game.

Stupid truth or dare.

It's Leo's turn again and this time he picks truth. Naomi turns her body towards him, flicking her long hair over her shoulder. She gives him a flirty smile and bats her eyelashes. I roll my eyes at her attempt to win Leo over.

She looks over at me and I give her a wink, proud of her for trying.

I do love Naomi, don't get me wrong. But if she had it her way, she would be dating every guy at camp. The ones over 16 that is.

"Leo how many girlfriends have you had?" She asks, leaning forwards slightly to be closer to him. Her golden jewellery clinking together as she moves.

"I don't do girlfriends." He answers back shortly.

She smiles faintly, slightly disappointed and grabs the bottle of vodka, taking another swig effortlessly.

To be honest if any girl could convince Leo otherwise, it would be her.

"Said every fuck boy every." I mumble under my breath. What, it's true? The cliche unwritten rule that every smoking hot guy can't have a girlfriend for some reason or another.

His head turns up at me, his green eyes make contact with mine. Shit, he heard.

"What's that?" He questions grinning at me, egging me on to repeat myself.

"I said," I sit up slightly and Will removes his arm from around my shoulder, "said every fuck boy ever." I use my fingers to do air quotes which just further amuses the dark haired boy.

He smirks and leans forward, his jaw set hard. "You saying you want to fuck me Jade?" His eyes wickedly eager to get me riled up. He's disgusting. I scoff. But I notice that his dark husky voice catches slightly as he says my name, and I'm pretty sure that's the first time he's ever said my name. It sounds so good coming from his lips. My heart starts to beat faster. The pit in my stomach now feels unbearable. I want to hear him say it again.

A sudden cockiness takes over as I reply, "You wish." I tilt my head to the side and smile sweetly. Jax tried to hide his laugh by taking a sip from the bottle, Naomi and Alison both look at me and snicker. Eli pretends to cough while saying "True." Will remain silent.

Leo just stares at me, he seems frustrated, all rilled up. He doesn't reply, just looks off into the distance, his jaw tense. There's thick tension in the air but the others go back to their talking whilst I sit back against the tree, slowly sipping vodka straight from the bottle.

It's getting cold as night creeps over camp. Another few rounds of the game went by, Naomi getting bored half way through and announcing that she was: "Going for a trek lovelies, anyone join me if you want."

Jax was the first off the floor, almost taking out the clueless Alison with his clumsy feet and tall figure, smiling sheepishly as she cursed his name. Offering her his hand, pulling her from the floor and then following the strutting dramatically in her six inch heels, Naomi, through the trees.

Eli being the last to leave the ground with a sigh, mumbling something about having three children despite never once fucking a girl. Shivering at the though before he trotted off into the glistening, with the dying sun, trees.

Leaving me and Will who decided to stay at the clearing, him perching on the fallen tree trunk and pulling me to sit in between his legs. His hands tracing my bare shoulders and we caught up on everything from our time apart.

I didn't even notice that the dark haired boy had disappeared until the rest of the group came back at least half an hour later, Naomi putting her hands on her hips as she askes, "Where'd pretty boy run off to?"

"No clue Ni," Will stretches his arms as he shifts away from me, swinging his legs around to the edge of the tree. The sudden movement making me almost fall back, having to my hands flat on the trunk to stop me from falling off.

"Jesus, are you trying to kill me?" I mumble under my breath, getting a smirk back from the blonde boy who takes my hand to help me down to the ground.

"It's getting dark, let's head back yeah?" The girl who's applying what must be the hundredth layer of lipgloss this hour, asks the group, getting nods in agreement back from each of us.

Eli takes the lead and Naomi slips her arm through Alison's as they start to walk on the path out of the forest. Jax and Will walk ahead from me, bickering as Will shoves Jax over a fallen branch.

I smile at the sight of my friends walking away from me, as I pull my phone from my back pocket to check the time. It's nine o'clock.

We've been here for just over two hours. I sigh, taking one last long look around at the surrounding trees, already missing the peaceful quite that the forest offers.

Faint children's laughs and excited screams can be heard in the distance. The wind blows calmly, making the summer heat bearable. The strong smell of grass and fresh water from the lake makes me smile.

This camp is my happy place.

The rest of the group have gone up the path leaving me to enjoy the familiar forest. I close my eyes and tilt my head towards the sky, which is now light pink from the sun setting.

I put my hands up either side of me and start to slowly spin in circles, laughing from the rushing feeling from the vodka. I breath in the fresh scent of wood, smiling as I feel the adrenaline running through my veins.

Turning quicker and quicker, making my head spin, everything around me starting to blur into a mixture of green and brown. 

Suddenly I loose my balance, my foot catching on something sticking up from the ground.

I panic as I loose control of my body, not being able to catch my balance, I start to topple over. I close my eyes tight and brace for impact from the hard ground inches away from my feet.

Just as I'm about to hit the floor a hand grabs my wrist from behind me. And as the grip tightens around my hand, there is only one thing that comes to my mind.

Oh shit.
