I open my eyes and roll over. I jump. Haden is laying next to me.

“What?” Haden says, before turning to face me. I shake my head.

“Sorry, I have never woken up to a guy lay-” I freeze. Last night...what did Nevik do? Does Haden remember anything? I sideways glance at Haden, apparently sleeping. “Are you awake?” I whisper. No response. I shoot Amanda a text, asking if she can go see what Nevik did, along with a brief explanation via picture. She replies: “?! -.- fine.”

I sit there for almost an hour before Amanda calls me. I crawl out of the tent and walk into the woods a ways.

“Hello?”

“Hi. How are you doing?” I ask.

“Couldn’t be better.” I start to smile, but a feeling of dread washes over me.

“Amanda...are you alright? I know I am being a butt itch, doing this to you...” I trail off.

“You want to know something, Eliza? I think I finally understand.” I open my mouth to ask what, but she cuts me off. “I think I finally understand why you act the way you do.” I spin around.

 Amanda is standing behind me, holding a shovel and her phone.
