Camp Echo Falls (Completed)

Chapter 21

Jades POV

It looked a bit suspicious walking back to the cabins with Leo, both with only one shoe on. We headed back through the trees and found the group sat on the steps of the girls cabin. They the all look up as Leo and I approach. Naomi raises her eyebrow as she looks between me and Leo.

"Where have you been?" Will questions looking at me and then goes slightly red, as he sees Leo behind me.

"Out." I reply shortly and sit down on the step above Alison and Naomi. I didn't exactly lie, did I?

Jax gives a questioning look from beside me. I show him a small smile and he widens his eyes, sighing as he looks away. Will hovers above me, annoyed that I didn't exactly answer his question.

"What's up with the one shoe?" Eli snickers, looking down at me, his arms rested on the banister of the wooden porch. The girls and Jax stop talking and join Eli and Will to look at me, waiting for an answer.

I'm about to tell them about what happened at the dock, not thinking anything of it, as Leo interrupts. "She lost it over the dock, in the water." He says calmly before I can answer.

What? Why is he trying to hide the fact that he stole my shoe and then proceeded to throw it into the lake? Weirdo.

"That doesn't explain why you're only wearing one shoe, though does it?" Will snaps accusingly at Leo. His blue eyes locked with Leo's green ones, silently fighting each other with their minds, neither of them backing down.

Jesus, it's just a shoe, calm down. This is definitely toxic masculinity at it's finest.

"Oh, I always wear only one shoe, It's kind of my thing." Leo replies cockily, a smirking playing at his lips, testing Will's patience.

Will moves closer to Leo, his fist tightly closed at his side, but Leo doesn't flinch. Before Will can start a fight with Leo, I jump up from where I'm siting and grab his arm dragging him down the steps and away from the cabin.

I drag him into the trees at the back of the cabins, weaving in and out of the branches with Will behind me, he tries to shake his arm out from my small hand, but I don't let go.

When we are out of hearing distance from the cabin, I stop and turn around to face him. "Will nothing happened, stop freaking out." I say calmly, hoping to make the situation less hostile. I really can't deal with Will hating Leo right now.

"Who does he think he is talking to me like that?" He shouts wide eyed, his face flushed and his hair messy, "Especially when he's been hanging around my girlfriend when I'm not there."

My mouth drops open, "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had to ask you permission to hang out with someone other than you. Someone, might I add, who doesn't know a single person here. The one person he does know, being you, who won't stop hating him for one second, to talk to him!" I shout back, my face now hot.

"I don't want you around someone who is going to fuck you the first chance they get." He screams and I gasp.

A hint of regret quickly flashes through his eyes, but he's in too deep now, "You probably already gave it to him last night." He snarls, his eyes mad with rage.

I take a step back, wanting to get away from him. I feel physically sick. Why would he accuse me of cheating on him?

I feel tears prick at the corner of my eyes, he knows that I'm still a virgin, and now he's accusing me of sleeping with someone else.

Does he not trust me?

I can't stop the tears as they fall freely down my face. "I can't believe you would accuse me of cheating on you," my voice breaks, my head shaking back and forth without me making it, "nothing has happened between me and him."

Will doesn't speak. He doesn't give me any reasons for his theories. He doesn't even look at me.

"Do you really think that little of me?" I question through tear-blurred eyes, my heart breaking at the thought of loosing him.

His head turns towards me, his eyes soft all of a sudden, a look of worry painted across his face that wasn't there before.

"No, that's not what I meant, I just don't trust him around you babe." He steps towards reaching out to touch my arm, I snatch my body away from him, before he can lay his fingers on me.

He looks confused and hurt. That makes two of us.

"Don't touch me." I snarl, I turn away from him and start to walk back towards the room. My hands go to my hair tugging on the roots. I'm officially going crazy. I have to get away from him, I don't want to spend another second in his company.

I feel my feet taking me through the trees, my mind blank as my body does all the work. "Jade come on." He calls out and I hear him trying to catch up with me.

I don't take any chances, I feel myself running away from him before my mind has even registered what I'm doing. My whole body feeling numb, I just want to dig a whole and crawl into the darkness.

I don't hear him following me anymore, I let out a deep breath, thank god. I can't deal with him any more right now. I slow down into a walk, swiping angrily at the tears which are still falling down my face.

I try to compose my self as I near the cabin, I don't want anyone to see me like this. Deep breathes Jade, in through the noes, out through the mouth.

My heart beat steadies and my mind clears the fog like feeling. I reach in front of the cabin, not once slowing down. I see heads turn up at me from the group but I can't make out who it is.

They're all sitting on the steps but I don't say a word as I take the steps quicker than I thought I could. I hold my breath, not wanting to burst out in emotion.

I can't do this.

Before anyone says anything I sob and sprint to the cabin door. As quickly as I physically possible, I swing open the door and slam it behind me.

I sink onto my bed and stare at my feet as I choke out another sob. The door quietly opens and closes again, I don't bother looking up to see who it is. I feel two people sit down either side of me, Naomi's arm hugs around me and Alison takes my hand into hers.

I lean into Naomi's shoulder and we stay like that, me silently crying into her, holding onto Alison, for what feels like hours.
