We walk for hours, I start to notice it's getting dark. We can't travel at night especially with Matthew still healing. " let's make camp for the night" I say. He looks at me like you just want us to spend more time together. I ignore the look he gave me and start to gather wood for a fire. I notice that he's just sitting against a red oak, I look at him watching me content with himself   " you know you could help me" I say. 

" Yeah I know but I don't want to" he replies, my blood starts to boil, calm down he just wants under your skin I think. When I get the fire is going  I stand up wipping my hands on my torn shorts and say " okay, looks like your all set "

 " No, not yet, " he says getting up and  walks over to me.

 " close your eyes," he says to me. 

" Why should I?" I say crossing my arms. 

" Please just close your eyes," he asks. 

" Fine, only because you said please," I say. I close my eyes.

" Okay, I closed my eyes now what," I say, not a moment later he's kissing me, why does he do this to me I think, but I don't stop him from kissing me, in fact, I'm encouraging it. Oh, my god, he tastes so good I think. I'm feeling light-headed I realize. I pull myself from him and run to the closest tree and climb, he won't follow me up here, I know it. When I finally stop climbing I look down to see he's also climbing. You got to be kidding me! I yell in my head. How the hell can he climb with a bad leg?! He notices I'm looking at him and he almost loses his balance. 

" I'm okay' he says, I don't say anything. He starts climbing again.

" Why are you climbing?" I ask him. 

" I'm climbing because you always run away and climb a tree so I'm wondering what it's like to practically live in a tree, " he says pulling himself up another two feet, just then he loses his grip on the branch and  he starts to fall. I don't think I just act I jump and open my wings grab him and gently put him on the ground. " thanks " he says shaken up. 

" your an idiot, you could have died" I say 

" but I didn't now did I " he says.
