Camp Echo Falls (Completed)

Chapter 30

"I just wanted to say sorry." Will starts, "Sorry for everything I said earlier and for how I acted." He pauses to sigh deeply. "I know I was just being paranoid, I needed someone to snap me out of it and well." He laughs, referring to the bruises and cuts on his face, curtesy of Leo.

He eyes soften and the affection I feel for him rushes back in. "You'll forgive me Jade, won't you?" He makes that face that makes my heart just melt.

I feel my chest aching and all I want to do is hug him. "Will, It's fine. I know that you were felt uncomfortable with me being around him and that's why you lashed out." I bite the inside of my lip.

"I'm sorry for making you feel that way." I say truthfully. I put him in this position, everything that happens with Leo that he knows about, and everything that he doesn't know about.

He sighs relieved and dips his head down to kiss me, but I lean back, not yet finished. "But don't ever call, or imply that I'm a slag, ever again. Got it?" I say my voice serious, eyebrows raised.

"Got it." A gorgeous smile playing on his lips, he leans in and places his lips on mine. I smile against him, I missed this feeling and push back deepening the kiss.

He puts his hands around my waist pulling me closer and I thread my hands around his broad shoulders. He pulls back from the kiss and looks down at me, his eyes shining blue and I let out a breath in relief.

He drops his hands from my waist and threads his fingers in though mine, the action making my chest warm. He turns to walk towards where the rest of the group headed, but I catch sight of someone bouncing down the steps of the breakfast hall from the corner of my eye.

I see the blonde hair before I see his face and I tug on Will's arm forcing him to turn around to look at me. I step up on my tiptoes and thread my hands through his hair forcing his lips to meet mine. He smiles surprised against my lips, caught off guard.

He presses his lips against mine harder and I part my lips allowing him to slip his tongue into my mouth. I kiss him back harder, moaning lightly into his mouth, tasting the sweetness of his tongue.

Suddenly, he wraps his arms around my back and picks me off the floor spinning up around. I squeal and burry my head in the crest of his shoulder as his soft laughter fills my ears. He puts me down on the floor, both my feet positioned stable on the ground and leans down to kiss me on the forehead.

I step back from him and take his hand, noticing the group from Leo's table walking past us towards the back of the kitchens.

A pair of green eyes trained on me, I feel as his eyes burn into the side of my face.

"Shall we?" Will asks in that confident boyishness that I love, his eyes following the group in front of us.

"We shall." I reply, squeezing his hand tighter. He looks down at me and smiles softly, I return his smile, feeling a warm happiness spreading through me.

We're sitting in a small circle on the grass, Naomi showing Alison something on her phone whilst talking nonsense that sounds 'very important.' Flicking her long caramel hair over her smooth dark shoulder every now and again, her posture much better than mine, a confidence radiating from her as she speaks so naturally.

I look around, taking in the location, a few are benches dotted around the seating area, but the rest is just short cut green grass. The back wall of the kitchens face us, hiding the spot from the outside, a small path up the side for entry to the spot.

Groups of teens stand and sit in huddles of three or four, Will is standing with a group of boys from his school that I don't recognise, deep in conversation. A dark ginger haired boy with his arm loosely around Will's shoulder, talking with his hands while Will stands biceps crossed over his chest and keeps a stern look on his face as his eyes wonders around the area.

Eli is standing flirting with a boy who I've seen around camp before, he flashes a bright smile at the boy, which causes him to laugh, and I swear I see the olive skinned boy blush lightly.

I'm sitting picking at the grass, when I hear a male voice call my name from behind me, I turn to look over my shoulder and see who it is. It's Chance. A fairly attractive guy who has light brown skin and curly brown hair. I know him because he plays in the same football team as Will and Jax, I'm pretty sure he's known Will since they were kids.

He's wearing a white t-shirt with 'Hugo Boss' written across the front and grey jogger bottoms. Two gold chains hang around his neck, they match the golden stud in his left ear and the rings littered across his fingers. I've heard things about him some good, most bad.

I see Will coming over to where I'm sitting and he greats Chance with a quick bro-hug and Will places an arm around him. Chance turns to look back down at me, now grinning. "Mind if I still your girl for a minute?" He asks Will, even though I'm the one who he wants to speak to.

"Sure mate, just be quick." Will says, playfully hitting him on the back and they share a laugh. I turn to look at Will and I put my arm up for him to take and he grabs my wrist, helping me off the floor.

He pulls me into his chest and leans down to place a quick kiss on my forehead. I lean back and smile up at him, he returns it grinning with his perfect white teeth. I see Chance eyeing me up from the corner of my view and internally roll my eyes, I know he's the camps player around here, but wow.

I grab the bottom of Will's shirt and pull him into a kiss, Chance stands beside us and waits silently as Will and I share a kiss, my lips lingering on his before he pulls away.

I turn to look at Chance, who's got a dangerous grin on his face, and I step back from Will to follow the other boy. He takes me a few paces away from the others, they seem to go back to their conversations unbothered.

Chance is waving to some guy, telling him to 'link him' later for a 'blunt.' I cross my arms over my chest and sigh, getting impatient. If he wanted to talk to me, he better hurry up. I push my hair over my shoulder and my eyes wonder to the far side of the grass.

And that when I see someone watching me.

It's Leo. He's leaning up against the back of the building which hides this spot away from the rest of camp. The dark haired boy stands with his arms crossed over his chest, his jaw tight, his messy hair held back by his sunglasses, green eyes fixed on something to my right.

I follow his eyes and see who he's staring at. The talk, dark boy standing in front of me, who's now placed his golden ring covered hand on my bare arm. 

The blonde girl he was with earlier, isn't anywhere to be seen. I wanted to introduce myself to her. Shame.

He's doesn't notice that I've seen him or more likely, he doesn't care. I turn to look up at Chance, "Everything alright Chance?" I ask calmly, not wanting to sound rude, but also not wanting to give him any reason to take this the wrong way.

"Yeah, well now that I'm talking to you." He smirks cockily, shoving his hands into his grey joggers pockets, I notice that he's wearing a golden watch on each hand. Typical rich boy.

"That's nice." I answer back plainly, he knows I'm dating Will, he even goes to school with Will, that hasn't stopped him before. My answer makes him smirk even more and I look away back over to where Leo was standing.

He's not there anymore. The spot where he was standing is empty. I scan my eyes around the seating area but I can't find him anywhere. I feel my heart drop for a split second, but then I remember that it doesn't matter.

"Just wanted to let you know that were all meeting up tonight," Chance is speaking again, "my boys are bringing the alcohol and the birds are bringing a speaker and probably molly or some shit. It'll be on the dock, you coming?" He looks me up and down.

"What about the leaders, surely they'll hear us won't they?" I ask curiously. I don't mind partying or drinking but I don't want to get in trouble. Especially this early in the summer, if we have to do dishes as a punishment, I'd at least want it to be during the last week of summer and not the first.

"They've all got a meeting tonight, 10 till 11 'parently." Chance explains, "Jack overheard some leaders talking 'bout it, said it sounded like some kid brought a knife and they need to figure out what to do with him." He says looking over at his group of boys, I follow his eyes and see a curled hair boy with his arm around a red-headed girl. I figure that must be Jack.
