Camp Echo Falls (Completed)

Chapter 85

I woke up this morning in Leo's arms.

I traced his soft skin as he slept, his hard chest rising and falling steadily as he held onto me.

He looks so peaceful when he sleeps, his jaw relaxed, his dark eyelashes resting on his skin. His lips slightly parted as lightly breathed in and out every few seconds.

His eyes fluttered open and caught me staring, he just looked at me for a second as though he was hallucinating.

When I said good morning, a small smile found it's way onto his lips.

He snuggled back into me and closed his eyes, just falling back into a dream like state. Neither of us are morning people, so we spent most of the day in bed.

I had a shower and then sat on my bed in my pyjamas as he took one after me.

I don't think I've ever stopped breathing faster than when he came out in only a towel wrapped around his waist.

My stomach swirled as he ran his hand through his soaked hair, his muscles taunting as he practically moved in slow motion.

The golden sun light hitting him through the window, illuminating the water droplets on his chest.

I looked away blushing, as he slipped on a shirt and then went back into the bathroom to put on his joggers. I don't think he meant to make me feel like that, because he didn't look over at me once.

He can be oblivious and still the most cocky guy I've ever seen.

We spent the whole day watching movies together on my phone, he even went as far to ring Naomi and ask her to steal some popcorn from the kitchens.

Five minutes later a smirking Naomi turned up at our cabin, holding a large plastic tub filled with popcorn and two cans of coke resting on top.

It's the first night that I've felt safe enough to step outside my cabin door. My arms hug around my body as I stand in one of Leo's shirts and grey PJ's.

My feet covered by fluffy socks as I step out onto the wooden porch. Leo is leaning up against the beam as he looks out into the night.

He must not realise I've stepped outside as he doesn't turn to look at me. His head resting on the wood, his back arching in his black T-shirt, black jeans hanging low on his hips.

I stop breathing as he sobs.

"Leo?" My voice wobbles as I whisper into the night. I step towards the tall dark figure hunched over the banister.

His head snaps up and I almost start crying as I see his green eyes bloodshot.

"It's all my fault." He sounds so broken as his eyes search mine.

I step towards him and he shakes his head down at me, his eyes weak and scared.

"I should never have left you." He whispers and he can't stop me before I laced my arms around his torso and leaned into his hard chest.

His head goes to my shoulder as he makes a vulnerable noise.

"I'm so sorry Jade." He sobs and I almost fall over as he slowly collapses to the floor, pulling my with him.

My legs fold underneath me and I put my arms around his shoulders, pulling him under my chin as he clutches to the shirt I'm wearing.

Even after weeks, it still is on his mind as much as it's on mine. I have no idea why.

I cling to him as he cries against me, my heart breaks as he makes the noises that I know will haunt my dreams.
