As soon as we arrived at the camp they gave me normal clothes into. I was actually wearing a shirt and pants which made me extremely excited. Cameron is teaching me how to use a pistol and we are shooting targets together. I have to say that I was actually hitting the bullseye which made Cameron proud.

Nash on the other hand is scared for my life. He is like the mother figure I never had, nurturing and kind, but sometimes a tad bit overprotective. Only I actually love that about him. I once slipped the term mom out when he tried to grab my attention. He actually smiled and said it was fine to call him that so I call him mom now.

There were many other people like Sam, who be like the big brother I never had. Someone that was strong, kind, and a great hunter. The day after we arrive, Sam was showing off his accuracy, but turning away from the target, grabbing his phone and using the camera as a mirror. He shot the gun and it actually hit the bird that was sitting in the branch.

I have only been here a week and honestly I never want to leave this family that I have made. With Cameron's fatherly attitude, Nash's motherly love for me, and Sam's brotherly mentality I feel whole again. Well almost. There is still one person that I am still confused about.

I need to know, does he love me or am I just dirt to him?

I go to his tent and there was not saying he is out hunting. I groaned, thinking to myself that is third time today that he has gone out what is he up to? I then see another note that was written to me. The envelope was pink and the writing of my name was so neat and beautiful. It then smelt like the cologne he always wears. I then open the envelope slowly and took out the letter.

Dear Jack,

For the past week, I have been avoiding you. I know you notices because just today early in the morning, while I was walking by your tent, you were talking in your sleep, saying words like Jack hates me now and whatnot. I am not going to go any further with because instead of me being a coward and write it to you on paper, putting effort into it. I actually want to say what I feel.

Meet me in the woods, follow the light.

From,
Jack

I put the note down and walked out of the tent. Right in front of me, I see a flashlight flashing in the woods. I smirked to myself and started running into the woods. The light turn off when I ran into the woods.

Then the light turned on again only it was further away now. I ran a few feet towards it, but turned off. I see the sun was about to set in between the trees. The leaves crackling under me when I ran and walk. I saw the light again and sprinted as fast as I could to it, when it turned off.

Suddenly I found the end of the wood. There was an open field that was just flat: no tall grass, no flowers, no anything, it was just short green grass. I then see in the middle of the field someone clicking the flashlight on and off. I ran to him and stopped in front of them. I was happy to see the person who was holding the flashlight.

Jack

"Well it took you long enough," he said making me giggle.

"I can not run that fast," I said blushing.

"Jack, t-there is something I-I need to tell y-you," he said nervously,"God, why is it so hard to just say it?!"

"Jack, it is okay you do not feel the same way," I said sadly,"It hurts, but at least I tired, and it was an honor to have my heart broken by you."

He stood there astonished as I wanted to curl up in a ball and cried my eyes out. A moment of uncomfortable silence filled the air, which is my cue to leave. I turned around and start to leave when Jack took hold of my wrist. I shook him off and was about to run when he screamed out three words that made me stop.

"I love you!" He screamed,"You are hilarious, sensitive, and fucking gorgeous! You keep me going, you keep me sane, and you keep me whole. If I lost you, I do not know if I would be alive right now because I would not want to live a life without you in my arms. You give me life, I wake up in the morning just to see your beautiful face smiling back at me. I am deeply and utterly in love with you, Jack Johnson.

I slowly turn around and looked at him surprise that he not only said the three words that I craved to hear, but made my heart melt into a puddle in the process. I begin to cry tears with joy and fall to my knees. I do not know what to feel I just kept crying. Jack knelt down in front of me and hugged me.

"J-Jack, I," I said before him cutting me off.

"Hold before you say anything and before anything else happens, please be mine," he said looking at my face again, but we were still in each other's arms.

"Do you think I would even could say no to that adorable face of yours, babe," I said smirking.

He smiled and caressed my cheek. I put my arms loosely around his neck and stared in those big brown eyes of his. He puts his arms around my waist and started to lean in, but stopped a few millimeters from my face.

"Can I kiss you?" He whispered.

I smiled and nodded. Then our lips clashed, we waited to see if anyone of us would pull away, but neither of us did. I turn my head and pressed against  him more. The warmth of his chest makes me feel so weak. Then I felt his tongue glide across my bottom lip which I opened my mouth and he gently slide his tongue in, exploring my mouth. We detach because oxygen is important.

We were both blushing and giggling awkwardly. I was in a daze and he was too. All I can think out is light and happiness. Jack is my light that will not burn out in my eyes.

I love you Jack, and our love with light up the sky like the stars.
