Currently we were all gathered the by fire, roasting marshmallows. After getting out of the water Tom has been ignoring me. I don't know if I'm overthinking it, or he's actually ignoring me. He hasn't even looked at me since we got out.

I remove my gaze from the fire, and look over at tom. He was sitting across from me roasting his marshmallow. His jaw was clenched and his eyes dared not to move as he kept is gaze straight. He looked tense and I wanted to ask him what was bothering him.

What ever goes on in that pretty head of his.

I look over at Bianca who was flirting with haz. Me and Tom were the only ones who were quiet. Harry and same were laughing about something.

Shifting my gaze again, I look back at tom. Who was now quietly eating his marshmallow.

Just go and talk to him!

Gathering up all the courage I had left in me, I was getting up get when Harry interrupted me.

"Y/n?" He giggled, averting my head and eyes to him. "Your marshmallows on fire" he turned to Sam and they both started laughing while I looked over at my burnt marshmallow.

Shit.

Sam and Harry's loud giggling, attracted Bianca's and Harrison's attention. I look over at tom who's finally been able to notice me. Not thinking he would be looking, I quickly look over at my marshmallow.

Frustrated, I get up and throw my marshmallow out.

"Damn talk about day dreaming" Sam snickers, mocking me.

I could feel toms eyes on me as I walked away flicking off Harry and sam. He probably wasn't looking even looking at me, in fact he probably wasn't even thinking about me.

I sigh, walking further into the woods, but not so far that I get lost.

I lean against the tree and groan, annoyed, not even knowing why.

Being friends with a hot bad boy who annoys the crap out of u but is cute as fuck...is so hard.

I shake my head disapprovingly realizing what I just said.

Taking my back off the tree I walk about three steps and then I hear it.

Crunch!

I panic but not to much as it could have just been an animal. I look around and when I see nothing alarming I continue walking.

Not moments later I hear another twig snap followed up by leaves being rustled.

Fuck. This is how I die isn't it?

"Who's there?" I call out to my possible future murderer. I try to sound as brave as possible but its obvious that I'm probably shitting my pants right now.

As the sounds get closer, I slowly back up. After a few seconds a large shadowy figure jumps out, causing me to yelp.

Out of reflex I grab a twig and hit the figure with it. I hear the twig snap followed up by a "what the fuck"

Hearing the familiar voice I opened my eyes that were squeezed shut.

I sigh in relief as I see Tom, instead of a psychopath trying to kill me.

Well Tom is a kind of a psychopath.

"What are u doing here?" I ask, the relief showing in my voice.

"I followed you out here, you shouldn't have come out here alone" he said in a hushed tone.

Oh so now he cares about me?

"I can take care of myself" I mutter.

"You just tried killing me with a small twig" He remarks, laughing a little. "I don't think u can"

Still mad at him for ignoring me, I turn around and walk away from him.

"It's the other way sweetheart" he laughs making me slightly flush with embarrassment.

Without replying I walk the direction he came from. I can practically see him smiling from behind me. The urge to turn around and see if he's following me kills me. I don't wanna be alone again, even if it means I have to be with him. My questions are answered as I hear leaves crunching from behind me.

*****

"Do u even know where we're going??" I ask frustrated.

Let me catch you up for a bit. It's been 20 minutes since Tom found me, and we are still wandering the woods. In conclusion we are lost.

Tom turns around, making me stop. "I would if you hadn't gone the wrong way!" He spits, blaming me for us being lost.

"I went the way u told me to!" I scoff. "You are the one who got us lost not me!" I say shoving my finger at his chest.

His eyes glare right into mine. "I should've never followed you out here in the first place" he says harshly and emotionless.

I don't want to admit it but that hurt. "Maybe you shouldn't have" I mutter, backing away from him.

Satisfied with winning the argument he walks away, as I continue to follow him quietly.

A few quiet moments later we reach a more spread out area. Theres more space here and it's cleaner. There aren't as much leaves scattered across the ground as the other areas.

Tom stops and turns around to me. The anger he has before is gone but not completely.

"Looks like we're gonna spend the night here" he spreads his arms out, gesturing to the small space around him.

I am not fucking sleeping here.

I shake my head "no no way"

"We have to so get comfortable princess."

I roll my eyes and walk towards a log. His eyes follow me as I sit down and fold my arms.

This is gonna be one long night.
