camping ( @foreverwednesday )
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm telling you, we've gone the fucking wrong way." Scott snapped, turning to the back to face Lucy with a scowl on his face. The group in Hettie's car had been bickering pretty much since they'd set off and he wondered whose smart idea it had been to put all the mouthy people in one car. "We've made the wrong turn. Give me the map." He demanded. It was only about a two hour drive, but it had felt so much longer. He was just glad he was in Hettie's car instead of Johnny; he would've been even angrier if that had been the other way around.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy inhaled deeply as Scott snapped at her again, willing herself not to lose her temper. She half-wished she'd just taken her own car, because he was getting on her last nerve. "Scott, no offense, but I think I can read a bloody map." She snapped back, looking back down to the map in her hands. The place was so discreet that it hadn't shown up on any of their Google maps, so she'd had to use a paper one her parents had given her. "H, keep going the way I told you. We're not far off now. Literally like five minutes." She rolled her eyes, looking at Scott defiantly. Seth and Alyssa had offered to pick her up on their way and she wished she'd accepted, even if she would've been third-wheeling.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy groaned as the argument kicked off again; so far, there had been rows about map reading, directions, music and snack choices and pretty much anything else she could've thought of. She looked at Ashton and rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "If you guys fucking argue one more time I'm going to tuck and roll." She muttered, resting her head against the window. She was really excited for the actual camping part and she knew they would all have fun once they were there, it was just that the journey was stressful. She wished she was in the other car, if she was honest.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Alright, whose turn is it to put a song on?!" Audrey called behind her with a laugh, as the previous song came to an end. Her grandparents had let her borrow the car and she was happy, because she loved driving - especially with this bunch of people. They'd had such a fun two hours and she didn't think she'd ever sang as much as she had in them. When they had been choosing who went in each car, she had definitely been glad to get the bunch she'd got. "Can someone pass me the sweets as well, please?" She grinned, holding out a hand and keeping the other one on the wheel. She wondered how the other car was faring - she couldn't imagine it being as easygoing as theirs was. "Isaac, how far off are we?" She smiled, looking at him in the mirror. He was the one she'd trusted with the map.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's MINE!" Johnny shouted happily, holding his hand in the air. He loved all of the people and if the journey was anything to go by, he was so excited for how fun the camping trip was going to be. He thought they must've sang at least half of the entire musical catalog by now and he was excited for his chance to pick. "Can we put the We Will Rock You soundtrack on now?" He grinned, finally deciding. He had wondered if he'd be in Hettie's car, but it was okay that he wasn't - he was pretty sure Scott would've shoved him onto the road by now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Okay, I think we should be about five minutes away." Seth smiled, turning to face Alyssa for a second as he slowed down behind another car. He had wanted to take her for dinner before they went on the trip and he was happy he had, because they'd had such a lovely time. His feelings for her were only growing stronger and he felt a lot more at ease, although the idea of camping did give him a little bit of anxiety. "This is gonna be a lot of fun." He nodded his head - he knew it would be that much, with this group of people. "I wonder how the other cars are getting on. Hopefully nobody's fallen out yet." He laughed, shaking his head. He could only imagine the vibes in Hettie's car right now.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Oh my god!" Hettie snapped with a shake of her head, "Scott, shut up. You wouldn't be able to direct us out of a fucking ditch." She was so sick of the arguments and, really, Lucy was the only one that she trusted to get them to the right place. She nodded her head slightly, as Lucy told her to keep on straight. She was honestly wishing that she had never agreed to driving them all in the first place. Part of Hettie had wished that Johnny had come in the car with her, instead of Scott. But she knew that she would've been annoyed at him sharing with River.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton laughed as everyone started up again. It had not been an easy car journey, that was for sure. He looked at Betsy, a smirk on his face, "What? Because you're innocent in all of this?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He and Audrey still weren't great and Ashton wondered if that was why he was in this car. Ashton knew that he could be defensive but he couldn't believe that, that was that. He was excited about camping though. Getting away from the city definitely meant that absolutely anything could happen. He was looking forward to seeing what kind of drama this lot could come up with today.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac hadn't minded which car he had ended up in but he was definitely glad that he was with Audrey and the others. Hettie and Scott definitely intimidated him a little. And he felt kind of honored that he was trusted with the map. He looked back down for a second, "I don't think we're far off. A couple minutes, maybe?" He scrunched his nose while he concentrated. "Yeah, should just be round this bend, I think." He had always been a pretty good navigator and he didn't think that any of the others would've paid as much attention needed, not with all the singing, anyway.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed as she heard Johnny. She lent forwards, having been shoved in the middle seat because she was the smallest, and passed Audrey some of the sweets. She was excited about the camping trip. She was sure that it was going to be entertaining with the people that were there, anyway. "It'll be the first thing we put on, on the way back?" River suggested, since it seemed like they were almost at their destination. SHe couldn't wait. She had always loved camping and she was looking forward to camping with this lot too. "I definitely need to hear yours and Calebs renditions!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb was already enjoying himself. When someone had suggested camping, he had been a little unsure. He liked his comforts at home but he definitely wasn't going to be the only one to say no. "Mate!" Caleb laughed as he reached forwards to take a hold of Johnnys shoulder, "You read my mind!" He laughed. Thing seemed to be going well all around, with him and Audrey, his friendship with Johnny was only getting stronger and he was definitely happy about all of it.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Didn't you say that about ten minutes ago?" Alyssa teased. This was the second date she and Seth had been on and she had, had such a nice time. She already knew that they got on really well but she had, had no idea how well they would've gotten on. Sometimes, when you added the word date, the pressure got to people. But it felt like perfect. The two of them definitely got along like a house on fire. "Yeah. That's one word for this lot. Dramatic is what I'd usually pick." She laughed. "I don't have to drink tonight, you know?" She asked as she looked to Seth, "If you need a getaway driver, I don't mind not drinking."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott rolled his eyes as Hettie snapped at him, turning around to scowl at Lucy again. "I'm just saying, there's a quicker way." He muttered, shaking his head. He just wanted them to get there now, so he could get out of the car and talk to people he hadn't spent the entirety of the last few hours with. He wondered how River was doing in the other car and how she would be with him when he got there; although he didn't want to admit it, he thought about her quite a lot when he wasn't around her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "There is no quicker way! This is the only way!" Lucy was so done with Scott, he had been correcting her the whole journey and she found it so infuriating when she knew she was reading the map correctly. "We're about two minutes away. We'll be there soon." She said, ignoring him and looking at Hettie. "Left at the next turn and then we're there." She told her as calmly as she could. Even though Scott had demanded the passenger seat, she was the one with the map.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's been at least half an hour since the last time I was involved in the argument. I'm done now." Betsy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She was usually pretty easygoing, but the close proximity had been too much for even her. "Oh, look - there's the other car! We must be going the right way." She laughed, sticking her head out of the window and waving to the people in the backseat. She was honestly just glad to see different faces.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Amazing!" Audrey beamed - she had never been here before, but the people who had said it was perfect for them all to go camping and she'd borrowed a tent from her aunt and uncle that was big enough for all of them. She couldn't wait for them all to get started, although she did wonder how things would be with her and Ashton. She still felt very sad about it all. "Thank you!" She smiled as River passed her the sweets, shoving a couple in her mouth and laughing as she saw Betsy waving from the window. She beeped the horn at the people in the other car and waved.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed as he heard Caleb, turning round with a grin. "How are we always on the same page?!" He laughed, shaking his head. "Okay, it's got to be first on the way back." He wondered what the next couple of days would bring them and he hoped it was all fun, because he was so excited. "Oh, can I have some more?" He asked as he saw the sweets, smiling as Audrey passed them to him. He laughed as the horn beeped, copying Betsy and sticking his head out of the window. "Hey guys!" He called happily.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I mean... Yes, I did - but then I was just being optimistic. This time I actually think we're close to being there." Seth admitted with a soft chuckle. He could hear beeping in the distance and he wondered if that was the other two cars. "Dramatic is absolutely the perfect word." He nodded his head in agreement. He smiled as Alyssa offered not to drink - it really meant a lot to him that she would do that for her. "Thanks... Really, thank you - but I'll be okay. I can handle it." He smiled.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie rolled her eyes, not realising that, that was exactly what Scott had done. "We're almost there, alright? Calm down." She shook her head. Hettie knew that she couldn't really say anything about any of whatever it was that Scott had with River, but she didn't like it. She knew that she was probably doing the same with Scott but that didn't mean she was thrilled about the idea of him being with her. "See! Lucy was right." Hettie laughed as she heard Audreys beeping. She had spent more time with her over the last few weeks and surprised herself with how much she liked her.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton nodded, "Ah right, of course. You're above it all now?" He asked, a smile on his lips. He was teasing her and he hoped that she knew that. This would probably be the first time, since scratch night, that he and Audrey had spent a decent amount of time together and he wondered how things would go with that. "Oh shit, she's making a break for it!" Ashton laughed as he turned to look at the other car. He was definitely ready to get out and talk to other people now.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac smiled and nodded slightly. The thing with this group, he found, was that they were absolutely pushing him out of his comfort zone. He liked spending time with most of them so he had wanted to go to things like this ... it was just not something he would've usually done. "Pull in. We're here." Isaac smiled. He was ready to get out of the car, stretch his legs a little bit. And to see Lucy. But he wasn't about to say that.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb beamed at his friend as he spoke to him, "We're the same person." He laughed. He definitely felt like he had found a friend for life in Johnny and he loved that. He never thought that the musical would've brought him that. Caleb quickly wound the window down when he saw Betsy and stuck his hand out, waving back at her with a laugh. He loved all of the people in this group.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed as she looked at Betsy and Johnny. "And it begins!" The girl cried. She was so excited. This was going to be a lot of fun, she was sure of it. She looked at Isaac with a small smile. She couldn't help but think that this wasn't exactly his scene but she liked that he was at least trying. "Oh my god, get me out of the car!" River laughed, she was excited now and she couldn't wait to set up the tent and see the others.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "So you're telling me that you're a liar, now?" Alyssa asked. She was joking with him but she liked that he brought out this side of her. Most people thought that she was too serious the majority of the time. "You say I'm the smartest person you know, after all." She shrugged her shoulders before she laughed. She really didn't think she was that clever but she liked that Seth thought she was. "Okay. Well - I'll take it slow with my first drink in case you change your mind." She didn't want to sound patronising, she just wanted to be there for Seth if he needed her. She didn't want a repeat of last time.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott knew that his temper was only bad because he was bored and frustrated being stuck in the car, but he couldn't help it - he always got moody on long journeys, especially since he hadn't thought to bring any snacks. "Fine, whatever. Sorry." He muttered, although he couldn't help but laugh quietly in spite of himself. He knew when he'd been a dick, at least.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "As usual." Lucy muttered, shaking her head. She knew she had been right and she hated that Scott questioned it, all the time. "Pull in, H. We're here." She instructed her friend with a smile, laughing as she heard the beeping. Surprising herself, she was excited to spend time with Isaac while she was there - she just thought they were very like minded and she always enjoyed being around him. She was cautious, though. She didn't want to enjoy it too much.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, mostly because I've aged about twenty fucking years on this journey." Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes. It had definitely felt longer than two years and she didn't think any of them would deny that. "If we hadn't been here by now, I swear to god I would've jumped." She laughed, but he was definitely happy that they'd finally arrived. As soon as Hettie parked up, she was unbuckling her seatbelt.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey pulled in as Isaac instructed her to, making sure all the windows were up before the turned the engine off and jumped up, giving a victorious cheer. "We did it!" She laughed, stretching her arms out happily. She looked over at the other car and it bothered her that her stomach still fluttered slightly as she saw Ashton. "Okay, next hurdle - who knows how to put up a tent?" She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "And I love it." Johnny grinned, nodding his head. He jumped out of the car as they pulled up, cheering along with Audrey and laughing. He yawned loudly, not out of tiredness, but because he'd been sat in the same place for so long. He looked over to Hettie with a smile - he was so happy to see her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I am an... optimist." Seth laughed, raising an eyebrow as though he was being very careful with what he said. "I stand by it - excellent grammatical choice." He told her with a smile. He loved spending time with her and he knew that the next couple of nights were going to be better than the party, because he wasn't going to get too drunk. "You are -- amazing." He told her softly, with a little chuckle. He pulled in as he saw the others, a smile on his face. "And we're here! See, no lying."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie shook her head with a sigh. She thought that it pretty much confirmed everything, but she definitely needed to get away from Scott soon. "Okay!" Hettie laughed before she pulled into the camping grounds. She quickly climbed out of the car, and as she saw Johnny looking at her, Hettie smiled at him. She was definitely looking forward to spending more time with him. "I am definitely out of this one." Hettie laughed. She was sure that she would be terrible at putting up the tent.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton laughed, "I didn't wanna say it ... but you do have some new wrinkles." He shrugged his shoulders slightly, clearly joking around with her. Ashton couldn't believe that they had only been driving for a couple of hours. "You jump, I jump, Jack." He winked at her before he climbed out of the car. He wanted to talk to Audrey but he wasn't going to make the first move. He was too proud for that.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac was the first out of the car and he smiled over at Lucy. He was glad that she was there. She made him feel instantly more comfortable about it all. He looked at the tent before he shook his head slightly. "I can try?" He muttered, though he wasn't sure how well he could actually do it. He would definitely give it his best shot though.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb nodded, "So you should." He chuckled. He cheered like the rest of them as they finally got to the camp site. He was so excited. He got out and instantly threw his arm around Audrey. "You mean you don't know how to do it? We're screwed." He laughed. He definitely didnt' want to have to sleep on the floor. He hoped that at least one of them would know. "Do we have any snacks left?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River clambered out of the car and smiled, "I can try. I should be pretty good." She laughed, "Scott, give me a hand?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow as she looked over at him. She moved to the boot of the car and pulled out the tent. She was pretty sure that she would be able to figure it all out.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Okay. That still sounds like you're lying to me but whatever. I'll believe you." Alyssa winked at him before she smiled. She loved spending time with Seth and she couldn't wait to spend more time with him now. Alyssa smiled slightly as he complimented her. She just wanted him to have a good time and she knew that she didn't need a drink in order to do that. "No lying, yay!" Alyssa laughed with a nod of her head. She smiled as she climbed out of the car.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott climbed out of the car with a relieved sigh, leaning against it for a second as he looked around them. It was actually a pretty nice spot and he was glad they'd made the journey to get there, even if it had been terrible. "I don't have a fucking clue." He shrugged as they spoke about putting up the tent, shaking his head. "I'll get the stuff out of the back." He muttered, opening the boot of the car and beginning to get the bags out of it.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I knew it. Is my hair gray yet?" Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes. It felt like they'd been in the car for about a million years. "Aw, cute. We'll be roadkill together." She laughed. She couldn't help but laugh again as Audrey said she didn't know how to put up the tent. "I'll have a look in a minute." She shrugged her shoulders; she needed a cigarette first, after that journey.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy smiled back at Isaac as he looked over - she thought his journey would've been a lot nicer than hers, she had been two seconds away from kicking Scott, if she was honest. "Me too, I'll help." She said, walking over to look at the tent. "Oh jeez, it really is big enough for all of us..." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed as Caleb's arm went around her, shrugging her shoulders guiltily as he asked if she really didn't know how to do it. "I said I'd provide the tent, not that I knew what I was doing with it!" She laughed. "Yeah, in the back of the car. Go for your life." She smiled. It always surprised her just how chilled out Caleb was. "Okay, surely we can figure it out." She looked down at the tent again. She wondered if Ashton was even going to speak to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I fear that I'll get in the way more than I'll be able to help. I can't even provide the strength." Johnny laughed, shaking his head. He was terrible with stuff like this and he knew he'd probably just annoy them if he even tried. "I want more snacks!" He called as he heard Caleb, hoping his friend would get some for him too.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed as he climbed out of the car, walking around to the boot to grab their stuff. He was still pretty stuffed from dinner, but he'd packed food for the next couple of days too - and he was sure the others would have. "Anybody starting to think we should've just brought a few of those pop up tents?" He laughed, raising an eyebrow.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie knew she would be useless with the tent, instead, she grabbed one of the pop up chairs she had brought and sat down, lighting up a cigarette as she did so. "How long do you recon it's gonna taken them?" She asked, as she looked up at whoever was closest to her. She had surprised herself with how much she liked all of this group. She thought a couple weren't her cup of tea but she got along with them well enough.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Dunno, too much pink." Ashton laughed. He was definitely closest with Betsy in the entire cast. They'd bonded at the first party and that hadn't seemed to shift. He liked that. He looked at the tent and then at the girls, "I think I'll just get in the way." He laughed. He was sure that, between the three of them they would have it sorted but he'd be there to pitch in if it was needed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac smiled slightly as he moved to stand beside Lucy, "I'm sure that we'll be able to figure it out." He nodded. He didn't think that he would be especially great at putting it together, so he grabbed the instructions. "At least we'll all have enough space, right?" He asked with a smile.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb laughed as he nodded his head, "Touche. And after the BBQ, we shouldn't have expected much, right?" He asked with a smile. He hoped that tonight would be chill. He thought that they all needed a break away from the rest of the world for a little bit. "Alright, perfect." He laughed with a nod of his head. He looked over his shoulder, "Audrey, do you wanna help me with the snacks?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh, holding out the few he had brought with him.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed as she listened to everyone, "I've got this!" She smiled at Seth before she looked at Johnny. "We don't need you anyway, look at these!" She pointed to her, obviously nothing, bicep. She laid everything down flat and looked up at Lucy and Isaac, "Okay geniuses, what's first?" She asked, a smile on her face. She liked stuff like this. It was almost like a big puzzle and she definitely wanted to be able to figure it out.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa smiled as Seth grabbed her stuff, "Thank you." She knew that she didn't need the help but she absolutely appreciated it, none the less. SHe laughed as she listened to both Seth and River and she shrugged her shoulders, "I dunno. Those are some pretty capable girls."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Once Scott had unloaded all the stuff out of the car, he made sure his own bag was safe and then grabbed a chair and sat out, like Hettie. He knew he could probably help with the tent, but there were enough people - and he thought they would ask if they needed him. Which he hoped they didn't.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed as he watched Hettie sit down, mirroring her actions and lighting up a cigarette of his own. "I dunno, actually - I feel like between the three of them they'll figure it out quite quickly. I hope it doesn't mean they get first dibs on the tent compartments, though." He chuckled as he looked over.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy looked over at the three of them and decided to leave them to it - she thought they were more than capable and she liked doing stuff her own way, figuring it all out. She couldn't be bothered reading all of the instructions and doing it the proper way. She sank down into a chair with the other three, laughing slightly. "As long as they actually get it up, I don't care where I sleep."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy nodded her head as she looked first at Isaac and River and then at the tent. She thought they could get this done quite quickly. "There's definitely enough space." She laughed. "Okay, first things first we should actually get it out of the boot." She laughed, handing the bag of tent pegs to River before pulling the actual tent out onto the ground.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, exactly! I thought I'd already proved to everybody that I should not be trusted when it comes to the important things." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She was glad that the others seemed to take control, though - she would've had absolutely no idea where to start. "Yes! That I can do." She laughed, taking the snacks from him happily.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled, nodding his head. "They're definitely capable - maybe I spoke too soon." He chuckled. "Should we help out or do you wanna go and sit down?" He smiled, putting their bags down with the others. He didn't think there was any point trying to figure out what went where until the tent was up.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie smiled slightly as Scott sat down before she turned her attention to Johnny. "I am not sharing with anyone." She laughed, though she was sure she would end up with someone, she refused to share with too many people. "If you don't care then you can sleep on your sleeping bag out where?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She felt a little weird around Betsy but she refused to show it.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton sat down beside Scott, "So, that journey was fun, huh?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He was glad that he hadn't been with Audrey though. He wasn't sure that he could face the awkwardness that he felt around her now. Things had been really good with them for a while and then she had to freak out on him. He didn't get it at all.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed, "Yes, fair point." She nodded as she helped Lucy and then looked back at them. She sat down on the grass, figuring that they needed to at least prep a little before they started putting everything together again. She was a little disappointed that Scott hadn't decided to help but she wouldn't say anything more.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac let the girls grab the stuff as he read the instructions. "Okay, yeah.." He nodded his head. "So this ---" He took a hold of one of the poles. "Needs to be connected to this one and then be threaded through the space near the front of the tent." He hoped the two of them knew what he was saying because he didn't really thikn that he had a clue.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I'll keep that in mind. For future reference." Caleb laughed with a nod of his head. "Excellent." He laughed. He took one for himself, then held out the tray to small group sat near by, "Does anyone want one?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He was sure they all knew him well enough to know they werent just brownies.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I think you did." Alyssa laughed with an nod of her head. She smiled at him for a moment. "I dunno - I think we'll just get in the way if we try and help." Though she definitely felt guilty, she was still full from dinner and she really didn't want to push it.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I think Audrey said there's like six compartments or something - so unless you wanna force somebody into a three, you're sharing with someone." Johnny chuckled. If he was honest, he hoped it was him - they had been spending more time together and especially after the night they'd gone out with Caleb and Audrey, he knew he liked her. He laughed as Caleb brought out the brownies. "Starting early, aren't you?" He laughed, but he took one.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy rolled her eyes as Hettie spoke. "Wow, thanks Hettie. You're so kind." She said sarcastically, taking a drag of her cigarette. She didn't feel weird around Hettie at all and she didn't see why them sleeping together would change their dynamic at all.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Fucking hell, worst two hours of my life." Scott laughed, shaking his head. He was glad it was over, that was for sure. "I honestly wish I'd been in the other car." He rolled his eyes. He and Lucy never got along, but especially not trapped in a car with a load of other mouthy people.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You really should." Audrey laughed, the laugh getting louder as he pulled out the tray of brownies. "Go on, then." She giggled, taking one. She would just have the one for now and she didn't think it would do too much to her. She was so excited. It was going to be a lot of fun and she hoped that everybody would loosen up slightly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy nodded her head as Isaac spoke; she was taking this very seriously, even though she knew the others would probably laugh at her. She wanted them all to be safe in the night. "Okay..." She muttered, doing what he'd said as he went through the instructions. It didn't take long before it actually started to look like it was supposed to.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "And I'm still too full to move properly, so I feel like I'd be going a lot slower than the rest of them." Seth laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Sitting down it is." He lead the way over, smiling as he saw what Caleb was offering. "Maybe later." He chuckled. He smoked weed quite often, but he'd only tried edibles a few times and he thought it was a bit early in the night for him.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I'm okay with that." Hettie muttered with a shrug of her shoulders. She didn't care how she sounded. Unless it was someone she wanted to share with, she wasn't going to be sharing with anyone. She wondered, though, if Johnny was going to try. She knew that Scott wouldn't like it but she would. She laughed as Betsy spoke and shrugged her shoulders, "I'm all heart, didn't you know?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I could tell, funnily enough." Ashton laughed. He wouldn't exactly blame his friend - he never would - but Ashton was definitely glad to be out of the car now. "What? With Johnny and Caleb?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "I'd have rather put up with the arguments." It wasn't that he didn't like the two of them, he just thought that they could be a bit much sometimes.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb shrugged, "Why not, right? We're out here to let loose!" He laughed as he looked over to his friend. He wasn't surprised by who was taking one and he took a big bite out of the one that he had. "These are good - don't you think so?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa still felt guilty for what she had taken at the last party, so she shook her head as Caleb offered her a brownie, "No thank you." It wasn't that she had been trying to impress Seth before - Alyssa wasn't that kind of girl - She just hadn't wanted to miss out but she knew that she shouldn't have. "Do you want a drink though?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She had brought herself a bottle of wine but had a few different bits in case people wanted some.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac smiled as he watched the two of them and it seemed like things were coming together pretty quickly. He took a step back once it looked like everything was done "I think we did a pretty good job." He laughed with a nod of his head. He was actually quite pleasantly surprised.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River smiled as she looked at the tent and nodded her head, "See, told you we could do it!" She laughed. She took a browning and she sat, cross legged on the floor. She looked around the group with a smile. "This is nice, don't you think?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Being out of the city like this?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly, but he didn't say anything. He would never try and put somebody else out so that he was better off, he didn't have it in him and sometimes he was shocked by the differences between people. "How much did you put in?" He chuckled, looking at Caleb before he took his first bite.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You're all something." Betsy responded with a laugh, shaking her head. She genuinely didn't really care where she slept - she would share with anybody, she wasn't fussy. "Good job, guys!" She called from the chairs as she realised the tent was up. "Save me one." She told Caleb as she looked at the brownies, laughing.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, you've got a good point - I think I'd have thrown myself under the tires if I had to be in the same car as them." Scott muttered. He didn't really like Johnny or Caleb at all. "Don't you think they're just fucking smug?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He didn't like how they always seemed to act as though they were the better choices for the girls. He didn't say anything about the brownies, but he didn't want one.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey paused before she took a bite, looking around at the others. "Wait - am I gonna need to drive anywhere before I eat this?" She laughed, raising an eyebrow. She didn't know if people wanted food or anything and she didn't want to get high and not be able to drive.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled as Alyssa declined, but he could swear he remembered her smoking at the last party - he wondered if he'd imagined that or not. "Yeah, I'll go and get the bag." He smiled. He'd put all of their stuff in a cooler bag - he'd mostly just bought beers for himself, because he knew he could handle it. He ran and got the bag, bringing it back and putting it in front of them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy nodded approvingly as she looked at the tent, a little smile on her face. "Well - it looks like it'll stay upright, at least. And it's huge. It's like the tent version of a mansion." She laughed, shaking her head. "Should we leave it to everybody to get their own stuff inside?" She asked. She smiled as River spoke, nodding her head. "It's a lot quieter - for now."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie pouted slightly as Betsy spoke but she didn't comment. She liked the other girl quite a lot but she wasn't about to say that. She thought that she was pretty fun actually, something that was very different to what she had thought early on. She looked around the group with a content smile. And once her first cigarette, she lit up another one. She didn't see the point in holding back tonight.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Exactly. Better to just fight with people for two hours than deal with that, no?" Ashton asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He really didn't like being around Caleb. He knew that he was a nice person but he just rubbed Ashton up the wrong way. "They do." Ash nodded his head. "Smug and like they're fucking better than us. It's a joke."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb laughed as he shrugged his shoulders, "Not that much, I dunno." He hadn't really followed a recipe but he wasn't about to say that. He found it pretty funny anyway. He knew that everyone there could handle it. "I've got loads of food and stuff. I think we're good." He laughed with a nod of his head. He was looking forward tonight. "You don't want one now?" Caleb asked, as he looked to Betsy.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa was so comfortable with Seth but she didn't see the point in bringing up her past. She still hadn't even told him that her parents were getting a divorce. She just wanted to feel a normal for a little while longer. "Thank you." Alyssa smiled up at him with a nod of her head. She grabbed the bottle of wine, "Lucy, do you want some?" She asked the other girl, pulling out the plastic cups.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River smiled and nodded her head. "Then I guess Hettie and Scott will feel comfortable in there, huh?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She smiled at the two and then looked back at Lucy "Yeah, exactly. You can actually hear the birds out here, you know?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy quite liked the relationship that she and Hettie had - sure, they bickered but she thought they both knew it was in good humour and it was more friendly than the opposite. She always had fun around the other and she didn't take any of it personally. "Nah, I'm gonna wait a bit - I'll have a drink first." She laughed, opening a bottle of beer for herself and taking a swig.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You're right - they had the fucking loudest car in the world. Should've swapped Lucy for Isaac." Scott laughed, rolling his eyes. He nodded his head, glad that Ashton agreed with him on the attitudes of the other boys. "Exactly, it's fucking stupid. Thinking they're better than us, why? Because they fucking hang off the girls every words." He rolled his eyes.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, rolling his eyes playfully as Caleb spoke. "They're good, though - keep them away from me or I'll eat the whole batch." He laughed, finishing his in record time. He stretched out in his chair happily, loving the feeling of actually being out in the countryside. He didn't get to do this very often.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed, shrugging her shoulders. If nobody needed her to drive anywhere, then she saw no problem. She pulled up a chair next to Hettie and lit a cigarette of her own. She had been getting along with the girl a lot more recently and she liked it. "Do you want half?" She smiled, holding out the brownie.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Sleeping outside of his own room usually made Seth pretty anxious, but after how nice they'd all been to him at the party at Audrey's house, he thought he'd probably be okay here. Especially because he hoped he'd be sharing with Alyssa and she never made him feel anything but comfortable.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy raised an eyebrow as River spoke; she thought it was quite obvious that the other had a thing for Scott. "Maybe. Or maybe Hettie and Johnny." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She smiled as she looked at Alyssa. "Oh, yes please!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie smiled at Audrey as she sat down next to her and the blonde nodded her head, "Why not." She laughed. She wasn't great on weed but she didn't see the problem in having half. "How're you doing, gorgeous? How was the drive?" She asked as she looked at her friend. She hadn't known about Audrey when they had first started rehearsals but she actually really liked her now.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I tried telling you but no-one listened to me!" Ashton laughed. He would probably say he preferred Lucy to Isaac but Isaac definitely would've been quieter. He probably wouldn't have even said anything and he thought that the car they were in needed that. "THat's exactly it. They don't fucking get that they need people to challenge them, you know?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb pouted as Johnny spoke, "You're definitely not having them all. These are mine now." He laughed but nodded his head at Betsy "I'll make sure that there's one for you, don't worry." He smiled at his friend. He wished that he could live somewhere like this but he knew that his parents would never even think about it.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa was pretty sure that she already knew that she and Seth would be sharing a compartment and she liked that. She liked they would actually have a night together. Even though she knew that nothing would happen, she was glad that they could have a nice night together. She poured herself, River and Lucy a drink, "Here you go." She smiled, handing it over to the two of them.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed as she heard Lucy, "No, I meant because they live in mansions." She shook her head. She liked Scott, sure, but she didn't think that, that had to cloud her every thought. She smiled as Alyssa handed her a cup. "Thank you!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Oh yeah? And where would I have snuck in, huh?" Hettie asked with a raise of an eyebrow, "Lucy would've crashed the car on purpose." She didn't know who else was able to drive but she didn't think letting Lucy drive Scott home was a good idea. "Yeah, most people would. I'm the only one that can deal with it." She laughed as she shrugged her shoulders slightly. She loved Scott and she wouldn't let anyone say anything too bad. "Lucy was just as bad as Scott, to be honest."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Yeah, that is a good shout, actually." Ashton didn't think that he would be able to sleep very well in the tent. He was not a camping kind of person. "You planning to share with someone?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He was sure he knew who Scott would like to share with. "It is weird. Fucking eighteen years old and going on a double date. Creepy."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, that's a pretty good shout." He chuckled with a nod of his head. He tossed his friend another brownie, taking one for himself as well. He was just glad to be spending time with Johnny if he was honest. "Did no-one bring a football?" He asked, looking around at everyone.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa nodded, "Yeah, I thought the same thing." She laughed. Though she knew that Seth wouldn't let himself get that bad again. "Okay - yeah. Beer is best then." She smiled at Betsy. She liked everything she had seen of Betsy, she had just barely spoken to her. "Hettie and Scott is always a bet, right? Something will definitely happen between them." She avoided looking at River.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "That is very true. They all move far too quickly." River laughed. SHe barely knew how to keep up with it all. She nodded slightly, her face barely changing as Betsy mentioned Scott. She wasn't going to let anyone think that she felt anything less than neutral by it.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac smile slightly as he heard Seths voice and he nodded his head, "Yeah, I'm just trying to pace myself, I guess." He didn't like drinking but he knew that he would have a drink or two sooner or later. "How was your dinner?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We'd just have to bump someone. Or I'm sure Johnny would let you sit on his lap." Audrey teased, laughing softly. She was happy that she'd even been allowed to borrow the car this weekend, it had saved them a lot of trouble. "I can definitely imagine that. At least it was entertaining?" She laughed, trying to make light of the journey. She didn't mind Scott, not that much - she was just having a joke.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Obviously." Scott laughed as Ashton asked if he wanted to share with somebody - he thought it was pretty much a given. "Aren't you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He knew that Audrey was pissed off for some reason, but he didn't think it would be for much longer. "I know. It's like they can't do it by themselves or something. Embarrassing, I think."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny grinned widely as he took a second brownie, taking a smaller bite than he had last time. He just wanted the night to get started - he enjoyed the chilling out and getting settled, but he always thought it was more fun when everybody was up and partying.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy shrugged her shoulders. "It didn't last time." She knew that Scott and Hettie had a thing - sometimes, anyway but she didn't like that people always seemed to bring it up. It felt to her like people didn't make that much of an effort to see Hettie for who she was, rather than an addendum to Scott.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Too quickly. I can never fucking keep up." Betsy laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Have you met up with Scott since the party?" She asked River curiously. She didn't judge her for what had happened between her and Scott, but she was definitely interested in what had gone on there.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Good man." Seth laughed, nodding his head - he was trying to do the same thing. "I don't think I'll be having that much to drink either, not after last time." He smiled. "It was really nice - I'm so stuffed now, though. I thought it would go away on the drive but it hasn't." He chuckled.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Oh, Johnny definitely would not mind that. Though I don't know how much control he'd have." Hettie laughed as she shook her head. That was what she liked about Audrey, it was easy to chill out and joke with her. "Oh yeah, it was definitely entertaining. It would've been more interesting if we were like five minutes longer. Betsy said she was going to jump out." Hettie smiled.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton nodded his head. He knew that he didn't have to ask who he wanted to share with. He didn't think that River was even in that conversation. He shrugged his shoulders, "She's still pissed at me." Ashton wasn't going to apologise for how he reacted. He didn't think that Audrey had been especially fair. "They can't get their own girls. That's what we're taking from this." He shrugged his shoulders.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb was definitely excited to see what was going to happen tonight, he wondered if things would go more smooth but he didn't think that, that would really happen. "Does anyone know if there's anything interesting around here? I wanna go swimming." He laughed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa shrugged, "Didn't it? She seemed pretty annoyed in the morning." She shrugged her shoulders. Alyssa hadn't really tried with Hettie. She didn't think the two of them would really get along and she wasn't interested in finding out. She had her friends now, she didn't see what one more would do.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You and me both." River laughed with a nod of her head. She tried to keep up there was just too much going on for her to figure it all out. The brunette shook her head at her question about Scott, "Why would we?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac laughed, "I'm guessing you're the same." He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Yeah. That definitely makes sense. It might be even worse if we were all somewhere like this." He looked around them. He felt a little claustrophobic even thought they were so far out of the city. He couldn't leave if he wanted to. "Oh I bet."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, on second thoughts - you should stay in your car." Audrey laughed, rolling her eyes teasingly at her friend. She liked that she seemed to have found someone on a similar wavelength to her - especially when it came to drinking and sex and everything she seemed to have diverse opinions on. She laughed loudly as the girl said Betsy had been about to jump. She turned as she heard Caleb. "I wanna swim!" She called out, looking back to Hettie. "Do you wanna swim?!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Despite the other boys thought, Scott actually wouldn't complain at all if he was sharing with River - he wouldn't admit it, but he really liked being around her and he had enjoyed the night at the party a lot. He laughed, nodding his head in agreement. "I could've told you that." He said. "Swimming?" He frowned.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "OH, I wanna swim!" Johnny laughed enthusiastically, nodding his head. "There's like a lake or something, isn't there? I swear I saw online that there was a lake. We can swim in there!" Like Caleb, he wanted to get things moving, to get on with the night now. "Who wants to go and find it?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy shrugged her shoulders. "Just as bothered as any of us were that we had to look at naked Scott before breakfast." She laughed, pulling a face. She had found different friends through the process of Spelling Bee, but it didn't mean she wouldn't stick up for Hettie. "Swimming?" She laughed, raising an eyebrow. She looked at Alyssa, wanting to see if she wanted to go.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I just thought something was going on there. My bad." Betsy smiled, genuinely meaning it. She laughed loudly as the boys spoke about swimming. "I'm coming!" She agreed, getting to her feet. She wasn't going to miss out on that kind of fun. She grabbed a couple of drinks to take with her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah - exactly." He smiled. "Are you feeling okay? Being here and everything?" He asked. He thought he could sense some anxiety in the other boy. "Oh god, I don't know if I wanna go swimming in a big dirty lake." He chuckled. He would go if everyone else did, though.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I thought you might say that." Hettie laughed as she shook her head slightly. She had definitely been surprised by how similar she and Audrey were. It was nice though. Most of her friend challenged her, something which Hettie had always enjoyed, but Audrey didn't, she got it. And she liked that. Hettie raised an eyebrow as she heard about swimming and she got up, "Absolutely." She laughed. She held out her hand to Scott, "Coming?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton laughed along with his friend. He really liked most of the people on the cast but there were none that he was actually interested in, not like he was with Audrey. He knew that he had messed up but Ashton wasn't going to apologise for something that hadn't even happened to her. "Did you even bring anything to swim in?" He asked, because Ashton hadn't. Though he was sure that, that wouldn't be a problem.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Yes!" Caleb laughed as people started to agree. He was excited and he was ready to get the ball rolling with all of it. "Yeah! It can't be too far from here, right?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He got up from his seat and grabbed a couple of his beers. "Lets go explore!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. She wouldn't push it anymore, she knew that Lucy was friends with Hettie and she liked that the other was sticking up for her regardless. She raised an eyebrow as people mentioned swimming. "I didn't bring a costume or anything.." She muttered, looking to Lucy. She didn't want to miss out but she wasn't really sure what to do either.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River shrugged her shoulders, "Like he'd ever go for me over Hettie." She scoffed. That was what she kept telling herself. She didn't want to get in too deep with Scott because she knew she was just the second choice. "Yeah, me too!" River laughed, jumping to her feet.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac nodded as he heard Seths question, "I'm sure I will be." He smiled. He liked that Seth checked in. Isaac really wanted to be okay but he was definitely struggling. He just hoped that the feeling he had right now, wouldn't last the whole weekend. "I don't know either... maybe I'll just sit this one out."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed, shaking her head as she got up from the chair and moved over to her bag to grab a drink to take with her. "You don't need a costume!" She laughed as she heard Alyssa, gesturing for the girls to come with them. She thought it would be more hassle than it was worth even if they had brought costumes - it wasn't like they weren't all about to share a tent together tonight, she was pretty sure they would see it all anyway. "Come on!" She smiled, beginning to run towards where she thought the lake was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott laughed, raising an eyebrow. "I didn't even bring anything to fucking sleep in." He rolled his eyes, but he got up and took Hettie's outstretched hand. "Come on - we don't wanna be boring." He laughed, looking back at his friend before he started following the people who were going. He thought this was gonna be fun, at least - especially because Hettie was with him now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's definitely not far, I can sense it!" Johnny laughed with a nod of his head. Like a lot of the others, he grabbed himself a drink and turned to see where Hettie was, if she was coming - only to see her holding hands with Scott. He sighed slightly, but didn't let it phase him - not that much, anyway. He shook his head and started to run after the others, excited.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Neither do I..." Lucy said back, raising an eyebrow as she looked at her friend. She didn't want to miss out, like Alyssa, but she also didn't particularly want to go in with no clothes on like she was sure the rest of them would be doing. "I guess we could go in in t-shirts?" She suggested with a shrug of her shoulders. She had a couple in her bag and she would feel more comfortable doing that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy shook her head as she heard what River was saying - she didn't know why she would even give her time to Scott if that was what she thought his feelings were. She was excited to swim, though and she hoped that everybody would come with them rather than anybody hanging around here. She thought it was nice when everyone did stuff.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You can have some of this, if you want? It's like, a lifesaver for me." Seth laughed softly, pulling out the little bottle of rescue remedy he always kept with him - it always helped him feel better anyway. "No, you should come man! You don't have to get in, we can sit and watch." He laughed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie laughed as she watched the others run off. She looked at Scott with a smile, "Yeah, you definitely do not." She laughed. She had no idea that her holding hands would even bother Johnny. She liked both of them, a lot. But Scott had been her best friend for a long time. It wasn't like that was about to change now. "You're just gonna have to sleep in the buff, aren't you? Or go in the lake without anything." She giggled.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton rolled his eyes but stood up anyway. He certainly wasn't going to be the only one that didn't go. He wondered if Audrey was going to talk to them any time soon. When he saw Scott take Hetties hand, Ashton figured it was probably his time to leave. "Betsy!" He called and jobbed over to walk beside his friend. "How're things now you're out of the car? You're not gonna try drowning yourself, are you?" He chuckled.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You can sense it?" Caleb asked and ran after Johnny and Audrey. He didn't care how they looked, they were having fun and he thought that, that was the most important thing. He smiled as he caught up to Audrey.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa chewed on her lip but nodded as she heard both Audrey and Lucys suggestion, "Yeah, okay.." She didn't know how she felt about being in just a t-shirt and underwear around the majority of these people - especially Seth - but she wasn't going to spoil all of the fun. She moved over to her bag to grab one of the ones that she had brought with her, just in case.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River knew she sounded crazy but it made sense to her. She wasn't pining for Scott, she just liked his company. She refused to believe it was anything more than that. She laughed as she ran after the others. She was definitely ready to blow off a little steam.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I've got some in my bag." Isaac laughed, "Thank you though." He liked that he had a couple people there who were similar minded to him. It was nice to not feel quite so much like the odd man out for a change. "Yeah. I'll watch." He nodded.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I brought more than one pair of fucking underwear, I think that might do. As much as you'd love that." Scott laughed, rolling his eyes. He always had a better time when he was around Hettie, unless they were arguing - so he was glad that wasn't the case right now. "Why are they going so fucking fast?" He laughed, watching the others practically running towards the lake.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy turned as she heard her name being called, laughing as she realised who it was. "Oh man, how'd you figure it out?" She grinned, rolling her eyes. "I should be okay for now -- but we'll see what happens when Scott opens his mouth, I might be tempted." She shook her head. She was glad he'd calmed down now they were actually out of the car.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey turned to Caleb with a smile as he caught up with her, laughing as she heard Johnny. "I can sense it, too!" She agreed, but she was just playing along. "We should race! Whoever gets there, gets their clothes off and gets in first is the winner!" She proposed with a laugh, not waiting for them to agree before she ran off.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I can sense it. Like, I'm psychic or something." Johnny shook his head, laughing along - it got even louder as they spoke about a race. "I am so good at races." He grinned, clapping Caleb on the back as though to hurry him up before he started running too. "It's a race!" He called out.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I am not racing." Lucy laughed with a shake of her head; she copied Alyssa in finding out her bag and pulling out an oversized t-shirt, waiting until the others had pretty much gone before changing into it and following where they had all seemed to walk.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Good - 'cause I don't really fancy going in, either." Seth laughed with a shrug of his shoulders. He would've, but he wasn't going to leave Isaac on his own and he wasn't really that bothered about swimming. He knew they would all have fun, though - and he would have fun just being there.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie shrugged her shoulders, "In your dreams, Scott." She smiled at him. Hettie cared so deeply for Scott, it was probably why she hadn't fully let herself realise her feelings for Johnny. The last thing she ever wanted to do was to hurt or upset Scott. "They're having fun, leave them be." She laughed with a shake of her head. That was something she had been doing a lot more recently, laughing. She hadn't really noticed until now.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Call me a genius!" Ashton laughed as he shrugged his shoulders slightly. "He's not all bad." He muttered with a shake of his head. In fact, Ashton really liked Scott but he was pretty sure there was no convincing Betsy otherwise. "Or you just drown him? You seem devious enough to get away with it"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Bloody hell, you're both at it now." Caleb smiled at his friends. He liked that the two of them seemed to not give a shit. They were there to have fun and that was all that mattered. He lit up at the idea of a race and nodded slightly. "You're a cheat, Audrey!" Caleb called but ran after the other two.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed as she heard Audrey, "Count me in!" She called and sprinted after the other three. She was having a lot of fun already. She did wonder if Scott was going to talk to her but she was trying to ignore that. She knew that she needed to not get sucked up into all of that.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa laughed and shook her head, "Yeah, no. Me neither." She muttered. She quickly got changed and waited for Lucy, then started towards the lake. She was definitely glad that she had already had a little bit of wine. It was taking the edge off and she liked that. "Are you two coming?" She asked, looking over to Seth and Isaac
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You don't?" Isaac asked as he looked to his friend. He appreciated the company but he knew that he wouldn't complain if Seth went into the water too. He nodded his head as he looked over at Lucy and Alyssa. "Yeah but I don't think I'm going to swim."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott laughed, shaking his head. It wasn't like anything else, the connection that he and Hettie had - and although people thought they wanted to be together, he still didn't know if that was the truth and he felt like that was mutual. They both cared for each other deeply, but they just didn't know what to do about it. "You mean leave him be?" He teased, laughing as he nodded over at Johnny.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Never." Betsy laughed, nudging her friend with her elbow as they walked. "Hey, I know that! I don't even mind the guy, I just never want to spend that much of my life in a car with him ever again. And don't mention the journey back, I'm not ready for it." She laughed. "That's true, I could definitely sneak up on him... Thanks for the tip."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Don't call me a cheat just because you're too slow!" Audrey called behind her with a loud laugh, sensing that the boys were close to catching up with her and speeding up. "River, we have to beat them, come on!" She laughed, not looking behind but hoping the girl heard her anyway. "I can see the river!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny always had fun with stuff like this - he knew people probably found it annoying, but they were having fun and letting go and he didn't think they got many chances to do that nowadays. "How are you going so fast?!" He shouted with a laugh, turning to see where Caleb was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You mean you don't fancy swimming in a dirty old lake with a load of naked people?" Lucy asked sarcastically, laughing quietly. She totally understood and she wasn't even sure why she was doing it, but she wasn't going to question it now. It wasn't often she did anything like this. She laughed as the people racing zoomed past her, sensing that they were close now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Nah, I'm not too bothered about it - although I did actually bring pyjamas, unlike Scott, so I wouldn't freeze to death if I did." Seth laughed - he could definitely tell that the other would be complaining later on. "You've got to speed up!" He called to Caleb and Johnny with a laugh.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: That was the thing, Hettie really didn't know what to do with the connection that she and Scott had. It was like nothing she had ever felt for someone before but she knew, deep down, that the two of them would be a train wreck if they ever did anything about it. "He's really not that bad, Scott. Not your cup of tea but not that bad." She knew better than to big Johnny up to Scott.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Why will you never stroke my ego?" Ashton asked, sighed dramatically as he did. "That's a very fair point. See if someone will swap with you next time? I'm sure River will jump at the chance." He laughed. As far as he was aware, it was a one sided crush, on her part. He had no idea that his friend was even thinking about River. "Just make sure Hetties busy and you're golden!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You set off before we were ready!" Caleb laughed, though he knew the talking was just slowing him down. He had never been a very competitive person and this was just for fun so he didn't really care. "I don't see you trying!" He called over his shoulder to Seth.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed and started to run even faster. "They're not gonna beat us!" She laughed, the lake finally coming into view. She threw off her top as she was running, laughing all the way. Once they got to the banking, River quickly stripped down, "Audrey, c'mon!" She laughed, wading into the water quickly.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Funnily enough, no." Isaac laughed with a shake of his head. He wasn't going to ask her why she was doing it, he was sure that she had her reasons. He just knew that he would not feel comfortable and he was glad that no-one was pushing him. He just hoped that his friends would have fun. He was trying not to look at Lucy. Even in what she was wearing, he still thought she looked amazing.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You brought PJs?" Alyssa asked, her arm wrapped around Seths waist, "That's so cute." She smiled at him with a laugh. She didn't think that any of the other boys would've bothered, except maybe Isaac. "You're gonna have to play lifeguard then, if you're not gonna come in. Make sure no-one tries to drown Scott."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I didn't say he was. I just asked why they were going so fast." Scott laughed, although he knew he'd made it pretty clear that he wasn't the biggest fan of Johnny. He just thought he was almost smug about being the nice guy and he didn't like that at all.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I told you like, right at the beginning of this friendship that I wasn't gonna do that. You'll have to find somebody else to do that." Betsy laughed, raising an eyebrow. She was glad she'd found a friendship like this, though. "Don't be a dick, she's a nice girl - just deluded." She shook her head. "She probably will swap with me, though. Or I'll get Isaac to." She laughed. She knew she'd have a better time in the other car.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Because you were too slow!" Audrey laughed, although she knew she'd absolutely cheated - she knew they all knew it was a bit of fun, so it didn't really matter. "One step ahead!" She laughed as she looked to River, pulling off her dress and shoes before practically cannon-balling into the lake with a loud laugh. "We won!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "For fucks sake!" Johnny laughed as he got to the lake just as the girls got in, but it was clear that he wasn't actually angry - he would've liked to win, though. He laughed as he stripped down to his pants and jumped in, gasping at how cold the water was. "Fucking hell, it's freezing!" He looked to the girls.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "A very fair choice." Lucy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She liked that even though Isaac seemed shy, he didn't do things that made him uncomfortable - she knew a lot of people that would've succumbed to the pressure of doing whatever everybody else was and she respected that he didn't. "I don't think I'll be in there long, honestly." She shivered as she heard Johnny say how cold the water was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Of course I did, I thought everybody would be!" Seth laughed, wrapping an arm around Alyssa's shoulders comfortably. "They're literally going to freeze in the night, so - I'd rather be cute than frozen." He chuckled. "Yeah, that's a genuine risk - keep an eye on Lucy, she'll go for him if you don't." He laughed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I know. I just know your brain." Hettie laughed as she shrugged her shoulders slightly. She wished that the two of them could figure out whatever it was between them. She didn't know how long they could go on being jealous of when the other got attention and still pretend like they didn't have feelings for one another.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I thought I might have been able to wear you down a little bit. But I can't, it's noted." Ashton laughed as he nodded his head. He wasn't sure that he had ever found a friendship like this and he liked it a lot. He liked that Betsy didn't take any shit. "I'm not being a dick! I'm just saying." He laughed as he shrugged his shoulders slightly. "There you go. You've got options now!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River stuck her tongue out at the boys when they reached the lake and she shrugged her shoulders, "Should've been quicker." She laughed as she looked from them to Audrey with a wide smile. She laughed as she heard Johnny, "Is it? I don't feel it. Must be because we won!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb sighed as he finally reached the river, "Dammit." He muttered but then he laughed. Because it was clear that he was only joking. Caleb followed his friend and stripped down before he jumped into the river. "Come on you guys!" He called to the others who were still on their way.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac smiled slightly. He knew that he probably would've easily succumbed to it all, if they'd pushed it too hard but they hadn't and he liked that. He liked that this group seemed to respect peoples limits, that was definitely good. "Well - You can have my jacket when you're all done." He muttered with a nod of his head. He didn't want her to be too cold. It didn't sound great in the river after all.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Of course you did. I think that just shows you've been camping before, they haven't." Alyssa laughed. She was sure that the majority of them would not be happy with how cold it was going to be in the evening. "You're always cute. It's alright." She laughed with a shrug of her shoulders. She looked at Lucy, "I'll do it if you do it?" SHe asked her, and held out her hand.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott raised an eyebrow, but he didn't say anything - Hettie was totally right, she knew how his brain worked and that was probably why she knew what he was thinking before he'd even said anything. "Are we going in, then? You're not too scared?" He teased, squeezing her hand gently as they got close to the water. He let go of her hand to take his clothes off - he wasn't going to ruin them by going in the lake.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Well hey, I'm glad that's something you've learned early." Betsy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She thought they were a pretty even match for each other and she liked that; there weren't many other people in the cast she could say that about. "I'll peruse them over the next few days and let you know. I'll see if I can sneak you in there too. What a peaceful journey we'd have." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed loudly as she heard River, nodding her head in agreement. "Nope, the warmth of the victory is definitely setting in." She giggled, starting to swim a little bit further out before she stopped and floated, waiting for the others. She was having so much fun already and she didn't even feel like she needed to be drunk to enjoy this - just messing about and having fun. "I hope everybody can swim." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Alright, rub it in!" Johnny laughed as he swam a little bit closer to where River was, the coldness wearing off the more he got used to the water. "This is so nice, it's huge!" He laughed as he moved so that he was floating on his back, looking up at the sky which was starting to get a little bit darker. "Oh man, I left my drinks over there!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy smiled as Isaac said he'd give her his jacket. "Oh, perfect. Thanks." She nodded her head. She wondered sometimes if there was a reason he was so nice to her - and she wondered how she would feel if there was. She never liked getting involved with people, especially when she worked with them... But she really did love being around him. "Let's do it!" She laughed, taking Alyssa's hand and walking into the water. "Oh, it's not so bad!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That must be it - I'm just a camping expert." Seth chuckled, nodding his head. "I don't think they're ready for how cold it gets." He hoped a lot of them had brought warmer clothes than they had on right now. He smiled, kissing the side of her head as she called him cute. As she went off with Lucy, he found a place to sit on the bank and patted the spot next to him, looking at Isaac with a smile.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: That was part of the problem. The two of them knew one another too well and it kind of scared Hettie. She loved Scott so much so the thought of them getting together and messing everything up, was something that completely terrified her. "I'm never scared, are you kidding?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She threw her dress off before she followed everyone into the water with a laugh.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Better to learn it now than later, right?" Ashton asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. Betsy was able to bring out a more fun side of him, Audrey too. It was why he liked being around the two girls. Though his feelings for them were very different. "I don't think I wanna be in a car with Caleb, thanks though." He chuckled. He was sure that he didn't need to say why. He stripped down to his underwear then climbed into the lake "Fuck me it's cold!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed and nodded along with Audrey, "You're just jealous." She smiled as she looked over at Johnny. "Grab mine if you're going back?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. River moved so that she could float on her back, a content smile on her lips.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright. You won. Good for you." He pouted, though he was clearly playing with Audrey. He swam over to her with a laugh. "Yeah, I don't think any of us know how to do CPR or whatever." He shook his head.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa smiled as she looked at her friends. She was already having the best time. Alyssas shoulders were up to her ears as she and Lucy went into the water. "Are you kidding? It's freezing!" She laughed with a shake of her head, though she was sure that she would warm up soon. She wished that Seth and Isaac had joined but she wouldn't fight them on it
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac nodded slightly. He wondered if he was ever going to get up the courage to tell her how he thought that he felt about her. Isaac had been with a couple girls before but he really liked Lucy and he was sure that it was more than just friendship. But he was certain that if he told her, she would just laugh at him. He sat down next to Seth with a smile.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott smirked as Hettie spoke, although he didn't think that was strictly too - just as she knew him, he knew her very well too and he could definitely name some things she was scared of. "Then let's do it." He laughed, wading into the water. "Oh, fuck...." He whispered as he felt how cold it was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Exactly." Betsy laughed, shaking her head. If she was honest, she was dying to ask what had happened between him and Audrey - because it was obviously something had, but she didn't want to ruin the good vibes. "Oh fucking hell yeah, I'd end up wanting to kill you two instead." She laughed. "It's not even that bad!" She laughed as she got into water, leaving her clothes on the grass, but her teeth were chattering.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, ducking his head under and coming back up with a grin. "I am jealous, I wanted to win." He admitted. "Oh man, I don't wanna go back!" But he was already swimming, showing that he didn't really mind. He grabbed his drink and one that he assumed was Rivers, wading back over and handing it to her. "There - only because you're the winner. This time." He laughed, taking a swig of his own drink.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey couldn't help but feel a little bit disheartened that Ashton hadn't spoken to her yet; she knew she shouldn't have expected it, but after all the time they'd spent together she wanted it. "Aw, don't be jealous - it's okay, you can be on my team next time." She laughed as Caleb swam over to her. "We could give it a good go, how hard can it be?!" She smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy laughed, shaking her head. "It's not as cold as I thought it'd be!" She chuckled. It wasn't exactly warm, but after Johnny's reaction she'd imagined much worse. "We need to swim a bit, that'll warm us up." She smiled, reaching to tie her hair up to try and keep it as dry as possible. She didn't want to catch a cold. She really liked Alyssa and she was so glad they'd made friends among all of this.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "They look like they're going to freeze - we've definitely made the right decision to stay here." Seth laughed as he watched Alyssa's reaction to getting in the water, shaking his head. He was really excited to spend the next couple of days with her, especially getting to share what was essentially a room. It was a lot and quite quickly, but he was looking forward to it.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You cold?!" Hettie laughed as she looked over at Scott. She moved to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Here. I'll warm you up." She chuckled. She smiled as she looked up at him, "And this way, I can protect you." She winked at him. She got along so well with Johnny, she just didn't think she was ever ready to stop things with Scott. She didn't want to risk losing him.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton was sure that people were curious but if he was honest, he wasn't sure what had happened. They'd had a fight and then she was all over Caleb. Ashton wasn't someone that would beg for someone. "Yeah, exactly." He laughed with a nod of his head. He laughed, almost in shock, as he entered the water. "I can't believe you two aren't joining!" He called to Seth and Isaac.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed slightly as she listened to Johnny. She liked him a lit and the two of them got on so well. SHe wished that she could like someone like him, instead of Scott. River had always had a thing for people who probably weren't the best for her. "Thank you, thank you! How many of these do I get for winning?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Basically, how long will you be my slave for?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb wasn't sure what it was that Audrey wasn't saying and he was so curious as to what was going on in her head. He liked having her around him though, that was for sure. "i didn't even know we were on teams this time!" Caleb laughed with a shake of his head. He shrugged, "I dunno. I feel like we'll do more harm than good."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa nodded her head, "Okay, fine. I'll give you that one." She laughed as she looked over at her friend. She had never thought that she would make a friend like Lucy from the musical but they were so like minded and it was so nice. She smiled over at Seth before she looked to Lucy. "I mean - okay. Yes." She laughed, starting to swim a little
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "They're definitely going to freeze when it starts to get a little darker." Isaac laughed with a nod of his head. He was pretty sure that most of the people there thought he was boring and it was basically confirmed as Ashton spoke to them. He shook his head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You're protecting me?" Scott laughed softly, smiling as Hettie put her arms around him. He mirrored her actions and put one of his around her - it felt so natural to be close to her, it was how they always behaved with each other. He wondered if, if it would mean that they could stop being so jealous of other people, they could be together. "What are you protecting me from?" He asked, amused.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Guys, come in!" Betsy called up to the boys as Ashton did, gesturing for them to come down to the water. She didn't mean to pressure them and she didn't even realise she was, she just didn't want them to feel left out sitting all by themselves. "The water isn't even that cold once you've been in here for a bit!" She laughed, looking around. Everybody seemed to be pretty acclimated, she thought.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Like River, Johnny often thought about how much easier it would be if he just hadn't started liking Hettie - although he might come across as it, he wasn't stupid and he knew that she would probably choose Scott over him everytime. But it wasn't like he could turn his feelings off. "What?! Only the one, it wasn't even a spectacular win!" He laughed. "It was a special, one time offer."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey didn't mean to make it obvious that there was something on her mind, but she wasn't that hard to read - she didn't want Caleb to think it was his fault, though. She was having the best time with him - it was just that she couldn't stop wondering what Ashton was thinking. "Should've read the rules, then." She teased, laughing softly. "Do you want to have a competition to see who can go under the water the longest?" She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "So," Lucy smiled as she started to swim a little bit further out into the lake. "How was the dinner?" She was practically Alyssa and Seth's biggest supporter and she loved that they'd been out on a date before they even came here. She thought it was nice that he was making an effort to show how much he liked her now. "Do you think you'll share one of the compartments tonight?" She asked curiously.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Absolutely - we're the lucky ones, my friend." Seth chuckled, raising an eyebrow. He laughed as Ashton called over, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't fancy catching pneumonia, mate!" He laughed. He knew that they were just trying to get them involved and he appreciated it, but he wasn't going to let Isaac do anything he felt uncomfortable doing.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie nodded his head with a laugh. She didn't care what anyone thought of her, or how she was with Johnny and Scott. She wasn't going to change things now. Hettie didn't know if she and Scott were ever going to go anywhere... she didn't know what she wanted them to be. "I mean - I'm sure there are plenty of people who want to dunk you right now. But it's not gonna happen if I'm here!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton could barely even feel the cold of the water anymore and he was sure that the others could say the same. "Seriously, Seth?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow before he shook his head. "Fine. You two be boring then." He muttered with a shake of his head. He wasn't about to waste more time with them.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Are you kidding?" River asked, moving upright, "If I had known that, that was my only one, I'd have asked for something better than this!" She sighed "You could've warned me, my goodness." Though she winked at him to show him that she was just messing with him.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb knew that he and Audrey had a good time together, and it was because of that, that he wasn't letting himself get too bothered about whatever was going on with her and Ashton. "You're on!" Caleb laughed with a nod of his head. "Definitely gonna be me. I've had lots of practice." He looked to Johnny, "Hey ! You be the judge?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa knew what Lucy was going to ask before she had even said it and she couldn't help but laugh. "It was really nice." She smiled. "We had the lovliest time and the drive here was just as nice, honestly." She liked any time that she was able to spend with Seth. Alyssa nodded her head, "Yeah. I think so. I mean - It's not been said but I don't see why we wouldn't be."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I think so too." Isaac muttered with a laugh. He didn't look at the two who were asking them to join. He really didn't want to and he wished that they would stop already. He smiled slightly as he heard Seth say no. He hoped that, that was enough
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, nice - so the only reason they're not dunking me is because you're too strong and scary to let 'em? Like a fucking 24 hour body guard. I appreciate it." He grinned, rolling his eyes. He wondered who Hettie preferred spending time with - him or Johnny. And he wondered what would happen if he just... told her how he felt. But he knew he didn't dare, so he pushed the thoughts away.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Are we not good enough company now? Gotta drag Seth in?" Betsy laughed, obviously joking. She smiled up at the boys to show that it was okay they weren't coming in - she was sure they wouldn't be longer than another half an hour in there anyway, before everybody started to freeze. "Do you want your drink? I'm gonna go back and get mine."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's the trick, you see - I didn't tell you because I knew I'd get an easy task, then. I'm devious. What can I say?" Johnny laughed, shaking his head. He liked River, in an almost little-sisterly kind of way and he worried about what she could potentially be getting herself into with Scott. He didn't think Scott actually liked her at all. "Alright, I'll judge!" He laughed in response to Caleb. "Ready? In three, two... go!" He watched them carefully, laughing quietly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You're very cocky for a guy who just lost, aren't you?" Audrey laughed, pulling a face over at him. She knew the others probably thought it was childish, but she didn't care - it was fun. "I'm ready!" She laughed, taking a deep breath and plugging her nose as Johnny told them to go, trying not to giggle as she ducked under the water. She opened her eyes and saw Caleb, pulling a face at him but causing herself to laugh and swallow some of the water, popping back up to the top. "Oh no!" She laughed, spluttering slightly on the water.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy smiled, listening to the description of the date - it was strange to her, how much she loved hearing about her friends dating life but didn't really desire it for herself. She just felt like she had so much on and somebody else would only distract her. "It seemed it - you were both smiling like the Cheshire cat when you got out." She chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah, of course - it only makes sense. I'm so happy you guys managed to work things out."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed at what Ashton said, shrugging his shoulders. He didn't really care if people thought he was boring - he was a hard guy to pressure into anything really, because he just wasn't that bothered. He was anxious over things such as sleeping outside of his house or not being able to get in contact with his parents, but social situations weren't something he found all that hard. "Ah, don't listen - he's getting jealous that we're still warm and toasty." He laughed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Yeah. They're not dunking you because I'm intimidated by me. And, besides, I'm sure that you'd love me being your body guard 24/7." Hettie laughed as she kissed Scotts cheek. The thing with the two boys was that they were so different. Hettie had been so sure that no-one could beat Scott but Johnny brought out this totally different side of her and she liked that side of herself. If Scott told her that he had actual feelings for her though, she was pretty sure the decision would be made.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I think we have gotta drag them both in." Ashton laughed, though he wasn't joking like Betsy was. He didn't see any trouble in dragging them into the lake too. He rolled his eyes before he looked to Betsy and he nodded his head, "Yeah, please."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "That is deceptive!" River shouted with a shake of her head, "And it's so damn rude." She took a big gulp of her drink then. She didn't know how much she wanted to be in the lake for much longer, she was starting to get cold again. She laughed as she looked at Audrey and Caleb, "Audrey!" River whined as she came back up, "You're letting the side down."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb shrugged his shoulders, "I know my strengths, what can I say?" He asked. He dunked when he heard his friend and kept his eyes closed, so he didn't even see her pulling the face. He did feel her go back up though and he followed after her. "See!" Caleb shouted, jumping up slightly. "See! I told you that I was going to win!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa really wanted things to be good between herself and Seth and she could really see them being amazing. She just had to hope that things would be good and they would continue to be that. "Did we?" Alyssa asked as she looked to her friend with a laugh. She shrugged her shoulders. "Me too. We had a really good chat and now- I dunno." She shrugged again, "Things are really good."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac half wanted to go and wait at the tent so that he didn't have to listen to the other asking them to get into the lake. He really didn't want to and he didn't think that he should have to. "You think that's it?" Isaac asked with a small smile as he looked at Seth.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It makes sense, you're so intimidating after all." Scott rolled his eyes. He always thought it was so funny when people said they were intimidated by Hettie, because to him there was nobody less intimidating. He knew that Johnny could be intimidated sometimes, he saw it in him. He knew Hettie far too well to be intimidated by her, though. "I wouldn't complain, that's all I'm saying." He laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We're not dragging them in, leave them alone - I'm fucking freezing anyway, I'm not staying in for that much longer." Betsy laughed - she was sure she had started to turn blue by now, it was so cold in there. She started to move back towards their drinks, laughing as she watched the competition going on. It didn't take her long to get back to the grass and then swim back. "Here, hopefully it'll fucking warm us up."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's a talent - it was hidden, but now... Well, now you know." Johnny laughed, pretending to be sad about it for a second before he smiled again. "YES! Caleb's the winner!" He laughed, applauding his friend loudly, splashing the water everywhere. "I knew you could do it, too! I knew it!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I couldn't help it, I laughed! He won on a technicality!" Audrey argued as she looked over at River, but the laughter that followed showed her she clearly wasn't seriously. "Alright, alright! No need to brag. I'll dunk you if you're not careful." She laughed, rolling her eyes playfully. She hoped everyone was having as good of a time as they were.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy nodded her head. "It was definitely a good idea to have the chat - and obviously things all worked out!" She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. They made so much sense as a pair, she thought - and she was so happy for her friend. "Alright - I've had enough of being cold, shall we get out?" She asked. She would definitely prefer to be drying off on the grass with the boys than in the lake for any longer.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed, nodding his head. "I'm positive." He smiled. Really, he thought it was because a lot of people their age struggled to understand why people didn't want to do the same things as them, but he wasn't going to have that conversation now. "We'll wait for the girls to get out and then go back to the camp." He smiled.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I know you're teasing but most people think so, so..." Hettie shrugged her shoulders with a laugh. She found the same with Scott. Some people found him intimidating and, mostly because she could see right through it, she knew that he wasn't as scary as he seemed. Hettie liked people to think she was intimidating. At least then they wouldn't walk all over her. "Mhm. I know that you won't." Hettie laughed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "You're being fucking boring now too" Ashton muttered with a shake of his head and a laugh. But he knew that none of them would be in there for much longer. He was getting hungry now anyway. "Thank you!" He smiled as he took his beer from Betsy. He looked around him then, chuckling as he saw Hettie and Scott together. He couldn't understand why Johnny would think he could get in the middle of that.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "And now I'm watching out for you, you devious fuck." River rolled her eyes, though she was obviously pretending. "Oh, no! Auds, you let us down." She laughed though. She was having so much fun and she really didn't care what anyone thought of them.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "A technicality!? Are you kidding?" Caleb laughed as he looked over at her. He shook his head ever so slightly. He absolutely wasn't going to have that, though he was definitely playing with her. "I would so like to see you try, Audrey." He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa nodded, "Yeah, no. I agree. We definitely needed to have a chat." There was so much baggage with Seth and that was fine. Alyssa wasn't scared of it. She just liked knowing where she stood and she definitely knew that now. "Yes. Please." She laughed with a nod f her head and started to head towards the banking. "I'm so cold." Alyssa laughed, her teeth chattering as she reached the boys.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac really didn't want to seem like a buzz kill but he had, had to learn what he was comfortable with and he had to learn it quickly. He knew that now and he wasn't going to change it. "Get cold?" He asked as he looked at the two girls with a small smile.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, but most people don't know you like I do, do they?" Scott smiled, his voice softer than before. If Hettie were to ever tell him how she actually felt, if she told him she wanted them to be together and that would be it for him; but Scott was scared of many things and being rejected was one of them. He would never be able to handle that kind of embarrassment. He'd rather live in this limbo for however long it took.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Time for you to find some new friends, then." Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes. Even if the others stayed in there, she would be getting out soon. "What are you laughing at?" She asked, looking around to try and see what he it was he could see. It struck her just how many combinations of people there were within this cast and for, surprisingly, the first time she wondered if there would be any dramatics this weekend.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You should be, I have plenty of devious plans been cooked up even as we speak." Johnny chuckled, pulling a mysterious face as he laughed. He couldn't even feel the cold because he was having such a good time, although because of that it was definitely going to catch up with him when he did get out - but he didn't really care.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It was! It was because I laughed!" Audrey giggled, but she didn't care who won at all and she could tell that it was the same for the others. "I'm f-freezing," she laughed, shaking her head. The water was so called and now the sky had darkened their wasn't even the sun to keep them warm. "You want me to dunk you?" She laughed, raising an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy was so glad that Alyssa thought it was time to get out too, because she was shivering and she didn't feel like she'd be able to stay in for much longer. She swam towards the banking behind her friend, laughing and nodding her head in agreement with what Alyssa said as they reached the boys. "So cold." She responded to Isaac with a little laugh, wrapping her arms around herself.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Oh my god, you guys look freezing!" Seth laughed as the girls came over, shaking his head - this was why he was glad he hadn't gone in. "Here," he smiled, giving Alyssa his jacket and wrapping arm around her shoulders - he was still pretty warm. "Do you want to go back?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "That is very true. I don't even think I know myself as much as you know me." Hettie smiled as she looked at Scott. There was so much love there for her and that was what scared her. The only people that Hettie thought loved her, were her parents. She had seen what they could be, how much they needed her to be something, someone, that she wasn't. She didn't want that to happen to Scott too. "Come on. I wanna get out now."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Yeah, I think so too." Ashton nodded his head. And a second later, a small smirk was on his lips which showed he was just playing with her. He shrugged his shoulders at her question, nodding to Hettie and Scott. "They look pretty cosy, that's all." He was definitely curious to see how things were going to go between the two of them.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River laughed, "You are pure, pure evil, Johnny." She pointed at him. Johnny was like the older brother that River never had. She loved spending time with him and, already, she knew that he would always have her back. "If you're freezing do you want to get out" She asked Audrey. She was really getting cold now too.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Excuses, excuses." Caleb rolled his eyes with a laugh. He was having such a good time and he couldn't wait to see what else happened while they were camping. He was sure they would all have the best time. "I never said I wanted you to. I just don't think you could!"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac smiled and held out his jacket to Lucy. He had already told her that she could have it after all. "We can go back? Get the camp fire going and then we can get some smores sorted or something?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He had brought the camp cook set his parents had so this was perfect.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I am freezing!" Alyssa laughed with a shake of her head, "That was such a bad idea." She muttered with a shake of her head. She slipped on Seths jacket with a sigh, "Thank you." She whispered with a nod of her head. She snuggled closer to him a little bit. "Yes please.2
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott didn't think he'd ever really experienced love in his life, not properly - he'd never had loving parents. He couldn't remember the last time his parents showed him any affection; he didn't think they had, not even as a little boy. So everything with Hettie was entirely new to him and that was why it was so terrifying to him. "Come on, then. Go and get warmed up." He muttered, taking her hand under the water and leading her to the bank.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy laughed. "Yeah, for now. Wait until his back is turned and Johnny walks into view." She rolled her eyes. She didn't have anything against Hettie, but it was so clear to her what was going on and she didn't agree with it at all. She thought it was mean. "Right, I'm getting out. It's freezing." She laughed, raising an eyebrow as she started to walk back.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny had liked River from that first night, the party at Hettie's and he still did now - and he felt almost protective over her, he didn't want Scott to hurt her and it just seemed plain to him that he would. "I think we should get out - mostly 'cause I'm starving." He laughed. He was so ready for some food.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Just so we're clear - I could definitely do it. But I'm too cold." Audrey laughed, sticking out her tongue. "We should come back tomorrow, when it's sunny and warm - wake us up a bit." She smiled. They had two nights and days left yet, so she knew they would get everything they wanted done. "But yeah, let's get out - it's definitely time for food."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy took the jacket gratefully, a smile on her face. "Thank you - you're my favourite person right now." She laughed, wrapping the jacket tightly around her and trying not to shiver. "That sounds absolutely perfect - let's go back before everybody else comes and gets in the way." She laughed, beginning to walk.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled as Alyssa snuggled closer to him, leading the way to the camp. From what he could hear, everybody was deciding to get out now and he wasn't surprised. He was excited to get a campfire going and just chill out, though.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie thought that, that was probably why the two of them clung to one another. Neither had much else. Neither of their parents were interested in them. And they had one another. They always had one another. That was it. And he was so important to her because of that. "Sounds good." She muttered and squeezed his hand gently. Hettie knew that, no matter what happened between them, she would always love Scott.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Meow." Ashton muttered, "Put away the claws, Bets." Though he knew that she was right. Ashton didn't really have an opinion on what Hettie was doing. He was pretty sure that she didn't do anything maliciously and he thought that, that ws pretty importantly. Ashton laughed and nodded slightly as he watched everyone get out of the water. "Fine." He muttered and started to climb out himself.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: The same way that Johnny felt about she and Scott, she felt the same for him and Hettie. The last thing that she wanted, was for Hettie to hurt Johnny. She thought that he was worth more than, that. "Oooh yes! i'm so ready for food!" She laughed.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Sure you could." Caleb shook his head with a laugh and followed everyone out of the water. He was definitely ready for some food now though. He didn't feel like running back to the camp this time though. He threw his arm around Audrey with a laugh, "You had fun?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac beamed as Lucy said that he was her faovourite person, "Well, thank you!" He laughed. He knew she was being dramatic and probably didn't mean it but he liked hearing it from her anyway. "I think we're ahead of them but they're definitely all coming now too."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa felt so comfortable with Seth and it was really nice. Her last boyfriend had been pretty serious and she was glad to be taking things slow with Seth now. "I don't even want to think about food. I'm still stuffed." Alyssa laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott kept his hand in Hettie's as they walked back to the bank, only letting go to pull his clothes on as best he could, still soaking from the lake. Until Hettie said something, he was never going to - but that didn't mean he wasn't going to be there, waiting for it. He took her hand again once he was dressed, walking slowly back to the camp. "What's the plan for tonight, then? Or don't you have one?" He smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes. "I'm not trying to be a bitch, I'm just being honest. That's what'll happen." She shrugged her shoulders. Whatever Hettie wanted to do was up to her, but Betsy was certain it would backfire one day and she didn't want to be there when it did. She pulled on her top as they got out, but didn't bother with the bottoms. She would just stick her pyjamas on when she got back to the tent and dried off.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny didn't waste much time in pulling his clothes on, grabbing anything he'd brought with him and taking them back. Hettie and Scott seemed to be pretty coupled up and he couldn't help but feel a little bit pissed off at that - they had been on dates, they had been... essentially, talking. Whatever that meant. If Hettie wasn't into it then he would be okay, he was sure everybody would know that he would be okay - but he just wanted to be told.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey tugged on her dress, smiling as Caleb's arm went around her. "Of course! Swimming was a genius idea." She laughed, nodding her head. It was going to be a good night no matter what they did next and she'd had such a good time. "Did you?" She asked with a smile. He was definitely the most fun person she knew.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy laughed, glad to see that they were almost back to the tent and all of their things. "Oh well, at least we're ahead - we can get the fire going without them interrupting." She laughed. After the car journey, she knew she would throw Scott onto the actual fire if he tried to tell her how to do anything else.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I know, I'm the same - I feel like I ate five meals, not just the one." Seth chuckled, shaking his head. "Means there's more food for everybody else though, for now." He smiled. He wasn't interested in eating a single thing. "Do you want to go and get changed or dry off or anything?" He asked as they reached the camp.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Hettie didn't even think about Johnny, which was probably the worst thing. She didn't think that he would care if she was holding hands with Scott. It wasn't like she had hid from him, that she and Scott kind of had a thing. She didn't understand why he would be annoyed at her. She raised an eyebrow as he spoke, "What do you mean, a plan?" She asked. "But no. I don't think that I do have one."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "Probably." Though he had no doubt that his friend would definitely win out over Johnny. That was why he didn't find himself getting too bothered about Hettie. She was enjoying being fussed over and then she would pick Scott. He was sure of it.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River tilted her head slightly as she looked at Johnny - after she had finished getting dressed. "You okay?" She muttered, quiet enough so no-one else could hear them. She nodded towards Scott and Hettie, though she was sure that he would know who she was talking about. She just wanted to check in, even if she didn't know if he would tell her the truth or not.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Caleb beamed at her and nodded his head, "I think so too. I am a clever guy, you know?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He thought that it had been the perfect way for them all to bond a little bit, to have fun together. "Of course I did. I especially liked beating you." He laughed as he shrugged his shoulders slightly.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Isaac nodded, "Yeah, yeah. We can definitely get it going but we also get first dibs of food, too." He laughed as he shrugged his shoulders slightly. He was definitely looking forward to tonight, especially as it seemed that he and Lucy were going to spend a lot of time together tonight.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "That's absolutely what it feels like." Alyssa laughed with a nod of her head. They had, had so much good food and she was so happy about that. "I wonder how long it'lll all last with this lot though." She shook her head, pouring herself another glass of wine once they had reached the camp site. "I think I'm going to try and dry off a little before I get changed. I don't want to get my PJs all wet."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You always have some kind of plan. Something for everyone to do." Scott laughed - he meant it in a good way, he liked how Hettie was always the one that got everything moving. He thought that it might be nice for them all just to chill for once, though. He felt so happy and at ease being with Hettie like this, it put him in such a better mood. "Wow, I'm shocked." He teased, shaking his head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy didn't really have much else to say on the subject; she just didn't like seeing people being messed with, especially people she thought of as her friends. She thought the same about Audrey, Ashton and Caleb, even though she wasn't going to say anything - just yet. She went to her bag as soon as they got back and pulled out a towel to dry herself with, grabbing her pyjamas too and walking into the tent.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny shrugged his shoulders at River's question, a wry little smile on his face. "I dunno..." He said, looking over at the pair once more. "M'just starting to feel like maybe it's time for me to stop being such an idiot." He laughed softly. He didn't want to come across as an idiot and he would be happy for Hettie, if she told him she wanted to be with Scott... But he felt a little annoyed that she hadn't told him anything at all and now they were all over each other.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I've learned that today!" Audrey laughed, but she was teasing - she'd always thought Caleb was pretty clever, even though he said he wasn't so much. "You beat me at one thing - I beat you at the race, so we're even." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She liked that Caleb didn't really seem to take anything seriously, it made things a lot easier and it was so calming to be around him. "We'll have a rematch, okay? Best of three." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Oh, I always get first dibs on food - I don't eat meat and nobody wants the veggie stuff." Lucy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She was happy enough that there was never really a fight for what she wanted to eat. Not for the first time that night, she found herself happy that Isaac had decided to come - sure, she had Alyssa, but whilst she was with Seth it was nice to have Isaac there as well. "Should we get started?" She smiled, reaching up to take the tie out of her hair now that she was out of the water.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed. "You're right - it'll all be gone by the morning. At least we can drive to the shops or something though, we passed quite a few supermarkets on the way here so we won't starve." He smiled. He was sure they would all need more booze when it came to tomorrow as well, after tonight. "You're a wise woman, Michaels." He chuckled. "I'll grab you a towel or something?"
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Well maybe this time I just wanna chill?" Hettie asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She liked being in charge and getting games and stuff going but she thought that they had all come camping to just roll with whatever happened. She didn't want to always boss people around all of the time. "Shut up." Hettie laughed with a shake of her head. She looked over at Johnny then. She definitely wanted to spend more time with him tonight but she knew that Scott wouldn't like it if she left to go to him.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Ashton shrugged his shoulders. He didn't see what Betsy saw. With both Caleb and Johnny, he thought that the two were just something to keep the girls occupied. He didn't think either of them would really amount to anything. He didn't think about that fact not being especially fair on the other boys but then, Ashton sometimes struggled to see past himself. He knew that he would be okay in the end and that was all he cared about.
HD CK AM IS RW AK: River nodded slightly. It was somewhat comforting to hear that her own feelings were mirrored in Johnnys. River had no problems with looking stupid, it was just being played as a fool that bothered her. "I don't think that you're an idiot." River muttered with a shake of her head. She linked her arm through Johnnys with a sigh. "I just think that she doesn't know what she wants, which doesn't suck any less. But she's definitely happier when she's with you."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "Only today?" Caleb pretended to look offended for a moment before he shrugged his shoulders, "That's fair." He laughed. He knew that he wasn't the smartest guy around and that was okay. He had fun and he was happy and he thought that, that was the most important part of anything. "You beat the race because you cheated. Don't pretend it was anything else!" Caleb laughed wth a shake of his head. "Alright. Time and place and I'm there."
HD CK AM IS RW AK: "I think River is a veggie too, right?" Isaac asked as he looked at Lucy for a second. He liked learning new things about her and he was pretty sure that he had heard River say that at the BBQ. "But yeah, I guess that makes sense." He chuckled. Isaac wondered if Lucy enjoyed his company as much as he liked hers. He definitely didn't want to admit it, but he knew that he had a crush on her." Yes." He laughed with a nod of his head. He quickly went to his stuff and got out the camp cooking stuff he had brought with him
HD CK AM IS RW AK: Alyssa nodded, "Yeah. We'll take a list and we'll go together?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She knew that it was going to be hard to get time as just the two of them so she was going to take it whenever she could. "I'm always wise." Alyssa laughed with a nod of her head. "I would appreciate that. Yes please." She could never get over how thoughtful Seth was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "Like I said, I'm shocked." He teased, nudging her gently. "Nah, it'll be nice to chill for the first night - if that's even possible with this group." He smiled, raising an eyebrow. He knew he was usually the one to start trouble, but he knew there were plenty of people capable if he didn't. He was curious to see what would happen. "I'm getting a drink." He muttered, going to find the bottle of vodka he'd brought in his bag.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy didn't long to get into her pyjamas, towel drying her hair a little bit but knowing it would probably dry in the air anyway. She busied herself getting all the stuff that they'd left in the cars before - enough chairs for everybody and most of the blankets, since it was starting to get a little bit cold. She wondered where the hell she would be sleeping tonight; she knew it would depend on who the two blonde girls decided to share with.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny smiled as River linked her arm with his, giving her arm a little squeeze. "No, I know - I don't blame her. And I really don't mind - I know people probably think I do, but I'm not gonna be crushed if she wants to be with him. I'd just like to know." He raised an eyebrow. He felt annoyed that Hettie had been annoyed at him flirting with a random girl for a few minutes, but he was supposed to sit back and enjoy his night while she and Scott acted like a genuine couple.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey wasn't the type of person to really care about how academically smart somebody was; as long as she could have an actual conversation with them, if she enjoyed being around them - then that was what mattered. "You can say whatever you want, but I know the truth." She laughed softly, raising an eyebrow. "Tomorrow afternoon. You're going down." She laughed, pulling what was supposed to be an intimidating face but knowing it absolutely did not come through.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Vegan, I think. Of course." Lucy laughed, raising an eyebrow. She didn't mean it in a bad way, not at all - she just thought that it fit very well with River's entire image and vibe. There weren't many peoples company who Lucy enjoyed more than Isaac's, if she was honest - but she wasn't ready to admit that yet. While he went to go and get the stuff to cook with, she busied herself working on the fire and had it up and ready by the time he returned. "Okay, let's go!" She smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Perfect. We'll go early." Seth smiled. He thought they were on the same wavelength; that they wanted to find time they could spend together without everybody there, even if it was only for an hour or so while they went shopping. He loved spending time with everybody there, but he still wanted to be alone with Alyssa sometimes. "Be right back." He smiled, running into the tent to grab her a towel. He noticed that not many people had brought their stuff in yet and he wondered if that was because they didn't know where they would be sleeping. "Here you go!" He smiled.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie rolled her eyes as she listened to Scott but didn't say anything. She liked being the one in charge... for the most part. Just that she wanted to have some time to chill out today. And she was having a really nice time with Scott. "I'm sure that it will be. Nothings happened so far, right?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She hoped nothing bad would happen. She was having a really nice time.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River nodded slightly as Johnny spoke. She really wished that she had some answers but she didn't. "I know you don't blame her and don't mind but I mean it when I say that I don't think that she knows. If that makes you feel better." She shrugged her shoulders. She had no idea what was going to happen and she didn't know if she thought it because she was being optimistic or because it was actually the truth.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Ah huh." Caleb nodded. He shrugged his shoulders then with a laugh. He really liked spending time with Audrey. She was funny and she didn't care about him or what he did. It was nice. He definitely wanted more but he had never been the person to try and push it. He was happy with whatever they were, really. "Is that so? Johnny gets to pick what we're doing though so you can't cheat!"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Ah right, yeah, of course." Isaac laughed with a nod of his head. It made so much sense for River to be Vegan. He smiled, though, as he looked up at Lucy. Isaac really just wanted to be around her more, he wanted to be with her. He liked that they were put together quite a lot. "So do you want me to do your and Rivers stuff first? Before the meat goes on?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "That sounds great." Alyssa nodded. She wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. She really liked him, so how could she not? She just hoped that things continued to go from strength to strength with him. She nodded her head slightly as he grabbed her a towel, "Thank you." Alyssa muttered as she took the towel from him and wrapped it around herself. She was happy to sit like that for a while, especially if she got to spend more time with Seth.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Nah, not so far." Scott agreed with a smile, raising an eyebrow. With these people though, he didn't think that meant anything. He poured himself a strong drink, before walking back over to Hettie slowly. He almost wanted someone to do something, so he didn't get bored - he was never good with calm, he was never good with chill. He always had to do something.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny shrugged his shoulders, laughing softly. He knew River was trying to be nice, but he didn't believe that at all - Hettie was too intelligent not to know what she was doing. "You're a very optimistic person." He laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Come on, we'll go and sit near the fire, make sure we get good seats. I don't wanna have to lean over everyone to toast my marshmallows." He chuckled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed, pretending to think about it for a second. "I guess I can allow that, he better not be biased because he's your friend, though." She smiled, shrugging her shoulders. "I think I'm gonna go and get changed, I'm still freezing." She laughed. Her dress was pretty much soaked from her wet hair and she definitely wanted out of it.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy laughed, nodding her head. It made sense to her too; to be honest, she was surprised they were the only two. A lot of her friends from college didn't eat meat at all, so this was different for her. "Yeah, if you could?" She smiled, passing the food over. She liked how thoughtful he was, especially about things where the others wouldn't be.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled as Alyssa wrapped the towel around herself, putting an arm around her shoulders as he sat down. He hadn't freaked out yet or even thought about it and he was so happy about that; everything was going so well for them, they both seemed so happy. "I'm still so stuffed.. But I have a feeling the smell of the food is gonna tempt me." He laughed.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River sighed as she sat down next to Betsy with a smile, "Having a good night?" She asked her. She knew that it wouldn't be long until they all went to bed but she was having fun. And she liked that everyone seemed to be pretty chill tonight. She couldn't help but feel a little on the outside of the group. She definitely liked them all but River wasn't sure what the majority thought of her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton was fed up of today if he was honest. It wasn't that he wasn't having a good time, it was just that he was already done with the majority of the people there. There was only a couple people that he actually liked. Scott being one of them. "You two looked like you were having fun." He laughed, referring to him and Hette who had spent the last couple hours together.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac smiled as he looked at the three people near him. He was having such a good time, better than he had ever thought. And it was down to Lucy, Seth and Alyssa. "So, who is everyone sharing with?" He asked. He wondered if he and Lucy would end up sharing again, though he didn't want to assume. He knew he would be comfortable sharing a compartment with her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa rested her head against Seth with a smile. She was getting a little tired now, the wine knocking her out a little bit. But she was happy to stay up with the rest of them. As she overheard Caleb, she tutted and rolled her eyes. She had nothing against them doing it, she just thought that it was getting to be a little too much now and she didn't really like it
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey shook her head, leaning back in her chair slightly. She was enjoying the night, enjoying the company of her friends - but it still felt like what had happened was weighing on her a little bit and it hurt that it didn't seem like it was the same for Ashton. "But I don't want to get into another argument with him, not when it's proven to be pretty much pointless." She raised an eyebrow. "I mean, surely if he wanted to talk to me then he would've?" She shrugged her shoulders, finishing her drink and reaching to pour herself another.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny turned to his friend, a dazed smile on his face. He'd already smoked one tonight, but he was definitely ready for another. He didn't think anybody around them would care, he was sure he'd seen the majority of them high at some point or another and he was having such a good time. "Yeah, do you want me to roll it?" He laughed, reaching into his pocket. This camping trip was proving to be exactly what he wanted it to be and he was so happy.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy smiled, raising an eyebrow as River came to sit with her. She thought she could sense that the other felt a little bit on the outside of everything and she hoped she felt comfortable with her. "Hey!" She laughed, nodding her head. "Yeah, I'm fucking drunk, though." She laughed. "I'll be going to bed soon or I'll have one hell of a hangover tomorrow." She had been drinking steadily all night and it was hitting her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott raised an eyebrow, a smirk on his face. "Dunno what you're talking about." He laughed, shrugging his shoulders. He had enjoyed spending the night with Hettie and he felt in a good mood because of the time they'd spent together - he knew that even if they didn't up sharing now, he would be in an alright mood. "It's been a good night, don't you think?" He laughed, looking at his friend. He didn't think he seemed like he'd enjoyed himself as much.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy felt so relaxed and happy; they'd had such a chilled out night, no games or drama, nobody getting upset - just everybody laughing and having fun. It was the perfect kind of night for her. She poured the last of her bottle of wine into her cup, looking up at Isaac as he spoke. "Are we sharing again?" She asked. She never had a problem with being forward and if Alyssa was sharing with Seth, he was who she'd be next comfortable sharing with.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed as Alyssa rested against him, tightening his arm around her. He could tell she was tired and he was feeling the same - definitely ready for his bed, or sleeping bag, pretty soon. He looked at her as he heard her tutting, chuckling softly. "What are you tutting at?" He laughed, raising an eyebropw.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "But- I mean- if you talk to him now and he is still a dick then you know you can be done with him, right? Because one time you forgive, two? Fuck that." She sighed before she spoke again, "No. Babe, no." She shook her head. "He's so much like Scott and I know him well enough to tell you that, even if he knows he's in the wrong, he won't ever make the first step." Hettie knew that from Scott and she was sure that it was the same with Ashton. She held out her cup, a small smile on her lips, as though asking Audrey to top hers up as well.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb had definitely needed some time away from the city and he was already having a lot of fun. He was so glad that they all had another day of this. He wondered what they all might get up to the next day, though he was definitely excited to find out. "Yes please. I'm fucking shit at rolling." He laughed as he shook his head slightly. He stood up, bouncing from foot to foot. He was drunk and he was loving it.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River laughed as she listened to the other. There were two people that she really felt comfortable with here and Betsy was one of them, Johnny was the other. "Me too." River giggled as she took another sip of her drink. "Do you know who you're sharing with, yet?" Because River really had no idea. She was pretty sure it depended on who Hettie was sharing with and she did not like that one bit.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Sure you don't." Ashton laughed with a shake of his head. Though he knew better than to try and push Scott with it. He looked like he had, had a really good night though. Which was something that Ashton definitely was glad about. "Yeah, it's been alright." He was pretty annoyed that Audrey hadn't said anything to him the entire night but he wasn't about to say that. He didn't want to have to make the first move.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac raised an eyebrow as Lucy asked him and he nodded his head, "I mean - yeah. I'd think so?" He phrased it like a question because the last thing he wanted was to seem too forward. But he liked that Lucy had asked him. He thought that it made sense to him. "At least you'll have access to your PJs today though, right?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: The two of them were having such a nice night and Alyssa was so happy. She liked being around Seth and although the two of them weren't in an official relationship, it felt like one, which was something that she definitely liked. "Just don't know why the two of them feel the constant need to be high, you know?" She asked him. She was just getting a little frustrated
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey shrugged her shoulders. She found it hard, because there wasn't much to forgive - he hadn't done anything, not to her. She had just needed reassurance and he hadn't been able to give it to her, but that had hurt. "Doesn't that just get so tiring, though?" She raised an eyebrow. She did want to talk to him and Hettie was definitely convincing her, little by little. "Having to make the first move all the time? Doesn't it feel like you're the only one who actually wants it?" She asked, reaching over to top up Hettie's cup.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I know you are, that's why I offered. For both of our sakes." Johnny laughed, pulling a face over at his friend. He was pretty good at rolling, he'd done it so much and it didn't take him long before he'd finished, holding it out to Caleb. "Hope you've got a lighter." He laughed. Because he'd already smoked, he felt a lot more chilled out and not so bothered that Hettie had spent pretty much the entire night with Scott.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy shook her head, a little yawn escaping her mouth. "No idea - and I don't really care, either." She laughed. "I'll just find a compartment and whoever wants to come in, can. I feel like we're two of the only people who wont be making a statement by who they're sharing with." She chuckled. She couldn't be less bothered about being involved in any part of the dramas that were happening around them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott laughed along with Ashton, shaking his head - he knew that they were on the same page with what they were talking about and he liked that he didn't have to admit anything he didn't want to to the boy. "Alright?" He raised an eyebrow, turning so that he could see him properly. "So shit, then?" He laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy smiled, nodding her head as Isaac's answer came across as a question. "Perfect." She smiled, laughing at his next comments. "Yeah, that's exactly why I left my bag outside the tent so I can grab it just before I go in." She couldn't be bothered sleeping in her clothes again. "And I brought earplugs this time." She rolled her eyes.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth was a little bit surprised at what Alyssa was saying; mostly because at the last party, she had gotten high with them all. "They're just having fun, aren't they? It's only like drinking and we've all been doing that all night." He shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't think you'd have a problem with them being high." He laughed softly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie thought for a moment, contemplating lying to her. She liked to pretend that she was fine with it all, that Scott could do whatever he wanted but that wasn't the case, she didn't think. "It is tiring." She sighed. She cared so much about Scott but knowing that she could say certain things that would piss him off or the fact that she had to make the first move... it was exhausting. Hettie was pretty sure that he was never going to tell her that he wanted something with her, she was sure that even if he had those feelings, it wouldn't matter. "Just see how he is? Then you can decide if you want someone like that or not."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Nah, it's just for your sake. Don't pretend like you care about me!" Caleb laughed though. He was having fun and he liked that he had found someone who got him as much as Johnny did. Having that friend around was really nice. "Of course I do!" Caleb nodded his head. He quickly lit up the joint, took a drag and then held it out for his friend.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River smiled slightly as she looked to Betsy. She was what River wanted to be. River wanted to not care. She wanted to go along with whatever happened and while River pretended to be like that, she knew that it wasn't the truth. "Isn't that the facts?" She laughed with a nod of her head. "Though. I'm sure that I'll be used to make some kind of point." She rolled her eyes. River liked Scott, she didn't like the fact that he blatantly only went to her when Hettie was busy.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "Not like anyone other than you and Betsy are my biggest fan, is it?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Ashton had spent a lot of his time with Betsy, someone who he didn't really like, but he wanted to be able to talk to Audrey. Sometimes, Ashton wished he could put his pride to the side and be able to make the first step. He wanted that but he knew that he would never actually change.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac smiled at Lucy then. It was definitely nice to have someone who seemed to get his thoughts, like Lucy seemed to. It was really nice. "Oh, you are very, very clever." He laughed with a nod of his head. He raised an eyebrow. "Literal genius! I'm probably going to have no sleep again because I'm stupid"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa shrugged her shoulders, "But they've already had a lot. That's all." She didn't think that what she was saying was unreasonable. And she didn't like that Seth was already making her feel like it was. "What is that supposed to mean?" Alyssa asked. She sat up to look at him. She was almost convinced that he had somehow found out about her past, that this was more of a dig than she had expected from him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey found herself grateful that Hettie didn't try and lie to her; she appreciated the honestly and to be honest, she probably needed it. She had always thought it must take a lot to put up with someone like Scott, but now she knew for sure. She nodded her head. "Yeah... I'll talk to him." She sighed, taking another sip. She knew that Ashton wasn't going to make the first move and she really did want to talk to him - she just hoped that it wouldn't go badly. "Are you sharing with Scott tonight?" She asked curiously, raising an eyebrow. She wasn't judging, she was genuinely curious.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Fine, fine! You caught me!" Johnny shouted dramatically, laughing to himself as he did so. "I couldn't cope with it anymore, man - I need to give you a rolling masterclass or something." He laughed. "God, I'm pretty tired... I feel so boring, it's only what, like one?" He laughed. They usually all went until the very early hours of the morning, one seemed tame in comparison. "Are you tired or am I just an old man?" He asked with a chuckle.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy brought her knees up to her chest as she listened to River, curious to listen to what the brunette had to say. "Don't let him, then?" She raised an eyebrow. She didn't understand why, if River knew what Scott was doing, she would let him continue to use her just to prove a point to Hettie, or to replace her. "You can share with me instead. Fuck him." She shrugged. She didn't mind Scott, but she didn't like the way he treated girls and she would tell him that if it came to it.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Are you really saying that to me? I'm like, the token villain." Scott laughed, raising his eyebrows. He didn't like it, he thought that was pretty obvious but it was clear that nobody there was that keen on him. "Just talk to her, mate. Can't do any harm." He shrugged his shoulders. He knew it was easier said than done, though - and he was a hypocrite, because he never made the first move.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I do pride myself on it." Lucy laughed, raising an eyebrow. She was joking, but she had definitely planned everything about the trip to a T - she hadn't minded getting no sleep at the party, but she wasn't doing it for two nights in a row. Especially when the walls of a tent were even thinner. She would definitely kill the culprits if she got no sleep. "You're about to think I'm even more clever, because I brought two pairs." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth wasn't sure what it was he'd said when Alyssa sat up straight, looking at her with a confused expression. "Just... that we were smoking with them at the last party, for quite a while? But now you don't like them doing it... I dunno. It just seemed a little bit hypocritical." He shrugged his shoulders. He really didn't want to cause an argument, he just didn't understand what was going on and he'd never pegged Alyssa as a hypocrite.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Good." Hettie nodded her head. She had no idea how the conversation was going to go but she was glad that Audrey was going to talk to him. If she wasn't, then Hettie was sure that she was always going to wonder what might happen. She knew that, that's how she would be. She shrugged her shoulders as Audrey mentioned Scott, "I dunno. I guess we'll see what happens with the rest of the night. Probably though." Though she really didn't have much of an idea.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb shook his head, "Then why didn't you just say so?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Yes, help me. Help me. I need your help, Johnny!" Caleb cried with a nod of his head. He was so sure that he and Johnny were going to be friends for the rest of their lives and he liked knowing that. "You're an old man. I could last all night. I'm full of energy." He laughed with a shake of his head.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River shrugged her shoulders as Betsy spoke. She knew that she was right. River shouldn't let Scott do that but she almost couldn't help herself. "I like the attention though, I guess." She definitely wouldn't have said that if she hadn't drank as much as she had. River wasn't exactly someone that got a lot of attention and she definitely didn't like admitting that to anyone.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "That is a fair point." Ashton nodded. "Wait - does that make me your sidekick?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Though he laughed a second later. Ashton thought that if people got to know Scott, they wouldn't think of him as bad as they did. He thought that he and Scott were pretty similar. "She can talk to me or not at all." He shrugged. He wasn't ever going to make the first move.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "It's definitely your biggest trait." And he definitely liked that one about Lucy. He found her intelligence incredibly attractive. Isaac hadn't even thought that people were going to be loud tonight, and he knew that was definitely because he knew that he would never have dared. "I think I love you!" Isaac cried with a nod of his head, getting a little flustered as he realised what he had said.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa shook her head ever so slightly. She really didn't want to have a fight with him but she didn't like how he was talking to her. She didn't like that he was trying to make her out to be something she wasn't. "I'm not being hypocritical." Alyssa snapped with a shake of her head and a sigh. "We smoked half of one at the last party. And they've been eating and smoking all day. It is no where near the same."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey knew that Hettie was right, that she wouldn't be able to get this off her mind if she didn't speak to him... But she hated that she would have to be the one to speak, even though she'd been the one that was upset. She nodded her head. "I thought so." She smiled. "You wanna call him over here so I can go over? I don't fancy talking to both of them." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. She definitely didn't want Scott there while she tried to speak to Ashton.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I've got you mate, don't worry. I'll teach you." Johnny chuckled, patting his friend comfortingly on the arm. He knew he had made a forever friend in Caleb - he had never met anybody else that was as similar to him. He took a long drag on the joint, passing it back to Caleb. "You must be fucking superman or something then, I'm knackered." He laughed, shrugging his shoulders. He was exaggerating, but he definitely wouldn't be up for too much longer, he knew that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's not a reason to let him treat you like shit." Betsy raised an eyebrow, pulling one of the blankets somebody had brought over her on the chair. She hated seeing girls like River feel like the only attention they could get be from Scott. "You're worth a lot more than somebody who does that to you. Don't get me wrong, I like Scott. But you're better than that." She shook her head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It definitely does." Scott laughed, nodding his head. A lot of these people, he didn't care if they hated him or not - but there were some he definitely did care about and he thought he'd actually been pretty okay tonight. He raised an eyebrow as Ashton spoke, nodding his head slowly. "Whatever you want." He nodded. He wasn't going to say anything more than that, he didn't think it needed to be done.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy laughed, shrugging her shoulders slightly. She was quite proud of her intelligence and it was nice to hear somebody complimenting it - it meant a lot more to her than a compliment on anything else. She laughed as he said he loved her, nodding her head. "It's a common effect - and I've saved you from being severely disturbed." She laughed. Although she hoped nobody would be too loud, she didn't trust any of them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth really didn't see what he was saying as trying to argue and he didn't think Alyssa would be offended by anything he'd said, he just wanted to understand what was going on. "I know, but it was still weed, wasn't it? I don't know... I just don't think you can judge them, that's all. It's just a bit of a fun." He said quietly, shrugging his shoulders. He felt awkward now, he had never wanted to argue.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie pouted slightly. "I was kind of wanting to go and talk to Johnny.." She was sure that her friend expected her to help her out but Hettie knew that if she spoke to Scott, she be caught up with him all night. "Just tell them that you want to talk to Ashton alone? He'll leave you be then." She shrugged her shoulders. Hettie didn't see the big deal with that and she hoped that Audrey wouldn't either.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "You are a god send!" Caleb laughed with a nod of his head. He had never thought he would find someone who was as similar as he was. Johnny was definitely that and he was sure that, that was why the two of them got on as well as they did. "Hey - I like that." Caleb laughed, "I'll be called superman more often." He nodded slightly. "You gonna talk to Hettie before you go to sleep, old man?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I know." River nodded, because she did. She really did know that Betsy was right and River had always thought that she was wasn't stupid enough to let someone walk all over her like this. She knew that she was better, she knew that she shouldn't let him... but she didn't know why she did let him. She shrugged her shoulders, "I get it, I do. It's just fucking -" She shook her head with a sigh. "I guess I want him to see me as more than just that." She shrugged. She knew that she wouldn't like the fact she had said all of this to Betsy in the morning.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I don't like that one bit." Ashton laughed. He never liked being the one on the sidelines. He didn't like to be seen as second to someone else. Though Ashton didn't want to cause a problem with Scott. He shrugged as Scott spoke before he nodded again. "I'd be off home tomorrow if I drove here."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac felt so at ease when he was talking to Lucy. He wasn't sure how she had managed to do that for him."You've got a line of admirers?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He wouldn't be surprised, really, he thought that she was pretty amazing. "That too. It is very much appreciated." He hadn't even realised the pair near them were having a bit of a bicker.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa sighed slightly as Seth continued. He thought that she was being judgmental and a hypocrite and he thought that she wouldn't get annoyed by that? "I'm not judging them!" Alyssa shook her head, "I just think they should stop. Why is that such a bad thing to say?" She had, had such a nice day with Seth and she didn't like that this was going to ruin it now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed as Hettie pouted, rolling her eyes. "Fine - go and talk to Johnny." She teased, nudging her friend gently. She liked seeing her with Johnny, she always seemed happier - and he always seemed happier to be around her than Scott. She didn't have any hard feelings towards the latter, but he just liked seeing a different side to Hettie that Johnny seemed to bring out in her. "Okay, I'm going." She sighed, getting up from the chair and taking her drink over to where Ashton and Scott were. "Hi - can we talk for a sec?" She raised an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's what they all say." Johnny laughed, shrugging his shoulders. If he'd had any idea that any of them were uncomfortable with the drugs, he wouldn't have minded not doing them - but he had no idea, he thought everybody was kind of with them on it. "That's what I'll call you from now on, then. I'll even change your name on my phone." He laughed. Being able to mess around was always something he looked for in a friend. "Maybe - if she talks to me. I don't want to keep bugging her all night." He laughed, shaking his head. He knew Hettie would find him if she wanted him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy had always seen River as a very strong person, someone who knew her worth and it saddened her to see that maybe that wasn't so true. She nodded her head as she spoke. She was never good with girl talk, but she did want to be - she was trying to be. "I know... And you know, he might. But not like this. You don't want him to see you as somebody he can push around whenever he's bored, do you?" She raised an eyebrow. "You want him to see you as you."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Tough luck then, isn't it? I'm always in charge." Scott laughed quietly, but he was joking - he did always like to be the one in control though, he didn't like to be second to anybody. Even Ashton, if it came down to it - and he was his friend. "Don't be fucking boring." He laughed as he spoke about going home, but he looked up as he heard a girls voice. "Guess I'll take my cue..." He muttered, getting up with a little laugh and leaving them to it. He thought they needed to talk, if he was honest.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy laughed loudly at Isaac's question, shaking her head. "Absolutely not. It's not that often I do nice gestures, so when I do - I guess it makes sense to have a strong reaction." She laughed, slightly teasing but in a good natured sort of way. Like him, she hadn't realised that Seth and Alyssa were arguing and she wouldn't step in even if she did. "You're very welcome." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "But that is kind of you judging them..." Seth muttered. He didn't know why he was carrying this on, he knew he should just shut up but he didn't want Caleb and Johnny to be made to feel like they couldn't enjoy themselves. "I just don't see what difference it makes to your night at all!" He said, shaking his head.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie smiled, "Go get him!" She called after her friend before she got up herself and headed over to Johnny and Caleb, "Mind if I join you guys?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She crossed her arms over her chest. She hadn't seen much of Johnny today, that was why she wanted to talk to him, even just for a little bit. If she was honest, she wanted to share with him tonight but she wouldn't say that. She wanted to at least pretend like she had her options open.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Like Johnny, Caleb would cool it if he knew that people around him were having an issue with them smoking. He just had no idea. He thought that someone would've said something by now if that was the case. "Oh my god, please." He laughed with a nod of his head. He smiled as he heard Hetties voice. "Speak of the devil." He muttered to his friend, quiet enough so that she couldn't hear. He wondered if he should leave the two of them to it.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: The thing was, River could say that she wouldn't, she could say that she would stop him but she was pretty sure that, that just wasn't going to be the case. She definitely wanted to try and keep what Betsy was saying. "But what if that's all I'm good for?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She was weird, she was never going to be with someone who actually liked her. She had been told that enough after all.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton rolled his eyes with a laugh. He knew that it was the truth though. He knew Scott well enough at this point, he thought. They weren't going change the dynamic of their friendship now. He nodded slightly as he heard Audreys voice. He wasn't sure that he was expecting that but he wasn't about to say no to her. "Thanks, man." He muttered. He turned to Audrey then, "What did you want to talk about?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He knew what, he was just being difficult.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac nodded as he listened to Lucy. "Alright - okay. So I should also be honoured that you thought of me, right?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He was having a really nice time with her and he wondered if he would ever get up the courage to tell her how he thought that he felt forher.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Okay.." Alyssa spoke slowly, "So suddenly the fact that I'm uncomfortable with the amount their smoking and the fact that it's even around me in the first place means that I'm one: a hypocrite and two: judgmental. Right. Cool. Nice to know what you think of me, thanks Seth." She rolled her eyes and turned away from him. "I'm gonna go to bed." She spoke to Lucy then. "I'll see you in the morning." She reached over to kiss her friends cheek before she grabbed her bag.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I knew you'd love it." Johnny laughed, shaking his head. He looked up as he heard Hettie's voice, a little smile spreading across his face. He liked that she wanted to spend time with him now, even though Scott was there and available to talk to. "Course not." He smiled, pulling a chair over for her. "Do you want some?" He held out the joint to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy shook her head. "Is that what you go to all of those protests for? To let a stupid boy make you feel like that's all you're good for?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. She literally hated listening to this, it made her so mad. "Just share with me, River. Don't give him the satisfaction." She really didn't want Scott to feel like he could do what he wanted, it was making her feel mad.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey watched as Scott walked away, pausing for a second before she moved to sit in his seat. She wasn't even sure what it was she wanted to say, she just didn't want them not to speak. It felt weird. "I just - I don't know, we haven't really spoken like... at all. And I didn't want it to be weird." She admitted with a sigh, looking over at him. She could tell he was being difficult and she was trying not to let it bother her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott watched for a second as Audrey and Ashton started to speak, but then went to get himself another drink. He looked to see where Hettie was, but he knew he wasn't going to join her while she was with Johnny. He walked a little away from the group, leaning against Hettie's car and sipping from his bottle. He liked having a bit of time to himself now and again, just time to take everything oin.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You should be so honoured." Lucy laughed. She didn't know if it was because they'd been spending a lot more time together or because it was late, but she actually kind of wanted Isaac to like her. She thought he might sometimes and the idea didn't seem as scary to her anymore. She looked up at Alyssa, confused as to what was going on. "Oh, I - what? Goodnight?" She asked softly, looking to Seth in confusion.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "What?! I didn't - come on!" Seth was so confused as to why Alyssa seemed to have taken it so personally, he had never seen her get like that before and it seemed a little strange to him. "Alyssa!" He called after her as she walked off, getting to his feet with a sigh. He was torn between following her and not wanting to make it all worse.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie smiled and sat in the seat that Johnny pulled over for her. She nodded slightly, taking the joint from him and only taking a short drag. She'd already had quite a bit for her, she didn't want to take too much. She past it back with a smile, "Thanks. You having a good night?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She already felt more at ease with Johnny. Even more so than Scott.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River laughed slightly before she shrugged, "I guess not." She chewed on her lip for a moment. She had so much more to say to her but she didn't know what else she could say. She knew that Betsy was right. She just wanted someone to understand what she was trying to say. "I won't." Though she didn't know if that was the case. Especially as she saw him alone, she really wanted to go over to talk to him.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Yeah - didn't think you were that bothered about talking to me." Ashton muttered as he shrugged his shoulders. It seemed pretty obvious to him. He tilted his head slightly as he turned to look at her. "You don't want it to be weird?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Then you shouldn't have come at me all guns blazing, should you?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He thought it was pretty obvious how he would react when she was trying to make him out to be the bad guy.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I thought so too." Isaac laughed with a nod. He really wanted to tell her what he thought, that he liked her but he didn't want to look like a fool. And even if she did like him, he was sure that, that would change when she found out just how inexperienced he actually was. He raised an eyebrow as he saw Alyssa go into the tent and heard his friend. He looked up at Seth, "Is everything okay?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa rolled her eyes as she heard Seth. She wanted him to follow her, so the two of them could talk about things without being so angry but she didn't know if that was going to be the case. Alyssa was sure that Seth had found out about the last six months of her life and she didn't like that. She thought that he was throwing it back in her face. She had no idea that he didn't.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny nodded his head, smiling over at Hettie. "Of course - what's not to love?" He chuckled. He had good friends around him, a campfire and he was pretty drunk by now - it felt like the perfect kind of night. "Are you?" He smiled, raising an eyebrow. He always thought he could see a big difference in Hettie when she was around him as opposed to other people and he was dying to find out why that was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy sighed as she looked over to see Scott standing on his own, raising an eyebrow. She could tell already that River wanted to go over to him and she just thought it was so sad that she seemed to be so under his spell that she was throwing away all the stuff she believed in. "You can go over, if you want. I'm not gonna stop you." She shrugged her shoulders, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and lighting one up.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey sighed, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah, I could say the same." She knew she hadn't spoken to him, but he hadn't seemed like he wanted to talk to her either. "What? Ashton, I didn't do that - I tried to have a conversation with you and you were the one that got defensive and turned it into an argument." She shook her head. She hadn't thought this would get brought up so soon.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy watched for a second as Alyssa went into the tent - she was so confused, it hadn't seemed like she and Isaac had been talking for more than ten minutes and now Seth and Alyssa seemed to have had some kind of argument. "I'll be back in a sec," she said softly, getting up and walking into the tent. "Lyss?" She called, wondering which one her friend was in.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth had absolutely no idea why Alyssa had taken it all so personally - he had never heard even a whisper of her past and so he really had no clue. "I have no idea..." He muttered, shaking his head as he turned to Isaac. "I thought we were just having a conversation, but I must've said something..."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "That's one way to look at it." Hettie laughed with a nod of her head. She liked his outlook, how he didn't seem to let things bother him. Hettie thought that she could do with a little more of that in her life. Sometimes she forgot how different Johnny and Scott were. "Yeah, it's been nice. And pretty chill for once." She laughed. Johnny made it easier for her not to care. She felt more like herself when she was with him. There was always something in the way when she was with Scott.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River knew that she should stand by herself a little more. She should know that she was worth more than how Scott made her feel sometimes but it was hard. She wanted him to like her so much, more than she was ever able to admit. She knew that Betsy would judge her but she wasn't going to let that stop her. "I'm not gonna let him walk all over me." She whispered to her before she got up. She got up and moved over to the car where Scott was. "You look like you're having tonnes of fun?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton shook his head slightly, "I got defensive because you're already thinking that I'm gonna do something bad. How would you act if someone did that?!" He asked as he looked to her. He didn't think that he had been unreasonable. She had accused him of doing something that he hadn't done to her... yet. He didn't think it was fair of her to be like that. "What did you expect me to be like?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa was sure that if she hadn't had quite so much to drink, she never would've acted like this with him. She'd have been calm. But she also didn't like that Seth didn't seem to want to listen to her, that he just wanted to call her names. Alyssa sighed as she heard Lucys voice. "I'm fine, Luce." She called to her with a shake of her head.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac sighed as Seth spoke. He didn't know what had happened. They hadn't been talking for too long. He was so confused and it seemed like Seth was as well. "You don't know why she's upset?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Selfishly, he was upset that Lucy had gone.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "The best way. Look at all of this - it's great." Johnny smiled as he looked around. And he thought it was even greater now that Hettie was there, speaking to him. Now that he was a little high, he definitely felt more deeply - especially the feelings he had for Hettie. He couldn't be bothered pushing them down now, not even a little. "It's weirdly chill, isn't it? Like - we should be waiting for something to kick off. But I'm glad it hasn't." He chuckled, nodding his head. "Chillest night we've all had together. Caleb thinks I'm an old man 'cause I'm tired, though." He laughed softly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy sighed as River spoke, but she shrugged her shoulders. It wasn't up to her what the other did, she knew that. She finished her cigarette and grabbed her bag, going into the tent - she was ready for bed now and she knew the others would follow soon. "Sorry!" She whispered as she realised that Lucy and Alyssa were having a conversation, darting past them and into a compartment of her own. She didn't think it would take her long to fall asleep.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott smirked slightly as River came over to him; whatever they spoke about, he always enjoyed their conversations and even though he'd gone over to the car for some time on his own, he actually didn't mind her coming over. "Just observing." He chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "M'not tired enough to go to bed but too tired to join in, so - this felt appropriate." He shrugged his shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey sighed, shaking her head - she could see this going exactly the same as it had over the phone and she didn't want that to happen. "I expected you to talk to me!" She answered him. "I never tried to paint you as a bad guy, but surely you can understand that I might want to talk about it all after your ex-girlfriend literally came up to me and warned me off you? Does it not make any sense to you that I might've wanted some reassurance that you were apparently incapable of giving?" She asked him. She really wanted him to understand.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Are you sure?" Lucy asked doubtfully, kneeling down next to Alyssa. She would go if her friend said she wanted to be alone - selfishly, she wanted to spend more time with Isaac. But if her friend needed her, then she was there. She always would be. She didn't know what had happened, but she wanted to be there for her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Nope." Seth sighed, shaking his head. He didn't understand at all - he didn't even think he'd said anything bad, it had just been a regular conversation and now... this. "Guess I'll be sleeping in the car." He sighed, rubbing his temple tiredly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie smiled as she looked around them and she nodded her head slightly. She thought that she definitely preferred tonight because she was with Johnny now. She was going to have a lot of fun, that was for sure. She always did. "Yeah - me too. But it does make it interesting sometimes, don't you think?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Well - do you wanna share with me tonight?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a smile.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River saw the smirk on Scotts lips and it kind of annoyed her. He knew that he had her wrapped around his little finger, she was sure. She didn't like being like that but she liked being around him. She hated that she couldn't seem to make herself strong enough to get him to stop it. "Observing?" River repeated, a small smile on her lips as she looked at him, "Well - what are you observing? Anything interesting?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I did talk to you!" Ashton snapped with a shake of his head. "No, Audrey, that's exactly what you did. No-one can make the promise that they're not gonna fucking do something when they hadn't planned to do it in the first place! Asking me that, makes me think that you think I planned to fucking cheat on my last girlfriend. So how is that going to make me think you're not coming for me?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa nodded her head, "Mhm." She muttered. She didn't want to talk to Lucy because she knew that, to explain what had happened, she would have to tell her about everything that had happened and that was the last thing she wanted. "It's fine." She whispered back to Betsy before she turned back to Lucy. "Go and enjoy your night. I'm just tired."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "It was that bad? You don't think you want to share with her?" He asked. Isaac wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do but he wasn't sure what he actually knew. He wasn't going to tell Seth what to do after all.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny nodded his head. "Yeah, it makes it interesting - seeing who hangs out with who when they're at their most relaxed, who people wanna be around? That's literally what I study." He laughed. He liked sociology for this exact reason. He was so interested in seeing people in different environments. He smiled as she asked if he wanted to stay with her, nodding his head. "Yeah, I'd like that." He told her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott genuinely didn't think he had River under any kind of control - he just thought she wanted to spend time with him, but knew what she was getting herself into. He didn't see it as anything else. When people said she had a crush on him, he always told them otherwise. "Not too much... Just seeing what people are like when they're out of the way of everybody watching." He shrugged his shoulders. "You're the master of this - you see anything interesting?" He smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No, you didn't! You thought I was having a go at you straight away!" Audrey just wanted him to try and understand what she was saying, but it seemed to her like he was determined to stand up for himself no matter what. "If I thought you were a bad guy then why the hell would I be over here talking to you now, why wouldn't I have just left it?" She asked him, shrugging her shoulders. "I never said that! I asked if you thought you could do it again, not if you planned on it. I think I'm pretty entitled to ask that, okay?! And you didn't give me an answer." She sighed. The worst part was, she still really liked him - she knew that now, even as they were arguing.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You'll come and get me if you need anything?" Lucy asked, raising an eyebrow. She didn't want to leave Alyssa like this, but it seemed pretty clear to her that she wanted to be left alone. "And I'll see you in the morning?" She wondered what Seth was going to do, if he was still going to come and stay in the tent.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Did it look to you like she wanted to talk to me?" Seth asked, raising an eyebrow. He thought it would make things so much worse if he went into the compartment and slept next to her. No, he thought he would give her the night to cool off and maybe they could talk about everything again in the morning - this time with better results.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "You light up when you talk about it." Hettie laughed. She liked that he enjoyed what it was that he studied. She wasn't sure that she would ever find something - that her parents approved off - that she would enjoy as much as he enjoyed his subject. "Tell me more? I mean - what kind of things do you see?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. The blonde nodded her head, "Then perfect, you'll share with me. And don't worry. I brought a blow up mattress that should hopefully fit in there and fit the both of us." There was no way she would be sleeping in a sleeping bag.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River just wished that she would be able to shake all of this, this hold that Scott had over her. She wished that Scott would be able to see it. She thought that she was worth more than being second place to Hettie. And River had no idea if anyone would ever see it. Hettie was as close to perfect as anything. River was as far away as possible. "I've only just starting watching. i thought that you'd have some insight now. You disappoint me." River laughed.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Yeah! Because that's how it fucking was, Audrey!" Ashton shook his head. He had, had people commenting on the fact that he had cheated so many times and he absolutely refused to let someone talk to him like that. He refused to let people think the worst in him. He rolled his eyes bu t didn't answer her question. He sighed, "No-one knows what they could do." He snapped. "I have never fucking planned on it, I never thought I could do it before but I did. Don't you see that you're asking an impossible fucking question?!" But he knew that she probably wouldn't like that answer.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Yeah, of course." Alyssa muttered with a nod of her head, "It's not like I can go anywhere else, is it?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She knew that she couldn't leave but she probably would if she could. She wanted to be home. She thought that Seth would understand, or at least try and understand. Apparently not.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever you think is best, I guess." He didn't know if he was really in the partying mood now. The fact that his friends had, had a fight and he wasn't able to help definitely took his mood down. "Maybe we should all go to sleep?" He asked his friend. "You can share with me and Lucy if you want?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Do you think so?" Johnny chuckled, raising an eyebrow. He liked that she seemed to be interesting in what he was learning; it was something that interested him so much. "I dunno, I see quite a lot of things. Have you watched Isaac and Lucy recently? I get the feeling there's something going on there." He smiled. He noticed the way they were with each other was different to how they were with other people. "Of course you did - I'll be sleeping like a king tonight." He chuckled, shaking his head. "Do you want me to get it into the tent?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott laughed, shaking his head. "I guess it just proves that I need more lessons." He smiled, shrugging his shoulders. River was so different to anybody else he knew and he loved being around her, but it seemed that whenever he was people started making comments and that made him not want to be. "Or that I need to start paying more attention." He laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No, it wasn't!" Audrey snapped back, putting her head in her hands for a second. She had never met anybody like him before - he infuriated her, but she couldn't walk away and she didn't know why. "Of course they do! You should know what you're capable of doing and what you're not - how can you not see that I've come over here to try and speak to you and you're snapping at me again?!" She asked him, her voice incredulous. "I'm not asking if you're planning on it, are you even listening to me? I'm asking if you've learned from it, if you regret it and you would make sure it doesn't happen again?" She shook her head. "Can't you see how shit it is for me that you still won't give me an answer?" She asked him, her voice a little quieter. Because that was the brunt of it - she didn't care what he'd done before, she just wanted to know that he wasn't going to do it to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I know..." Lucy sighed softly, reaching to squeeze her friends arm softly. "Goodnight." She knew what it was like to want some alone time and she wasn't going to push her company on the other girl, so she didn't waste much time in leaving her to go back outside. "Are you sharing with us?" She asked Seth. She was slightly disappointed, but she wasn't going to let on.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth knew it was definitely time for him to go to bed - he had been tired anyway and now he just felt stupid. He wished he could drive home, but he'd had a drink and he wasn't going to leave Alyssa here. "Yeah, if that's okay with you guys?" It sounded better to him than sleeping in his car, anyway.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Yeah. You do. It's really nice to see." Hettie nodded. She didn't think she knew someone as passionate about what they did as Johnny seemed to be. The blonde raised an eyebrow as he mentioned Isaac and Lucy. "Lucy isn't interested in anyone." She scoffed. She was pretty sure that her friend would've told her if that was the case. Hettie didn't think that she had ever really shown interest in dating. "You absolutely will be." Hettie laughed with a nod of her head, "Yeah, that would be fab."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I guess that it does." River laughed as she shook her head. She wondered if Scott would ask her to share with him. She wanted to share with him but she didn't know if he actually wanted to be with her. She laughed before she shrugged her shoulders, "I think probably a little bit of both." She shrugged her shoulders. "I can't believe that you have nothing for me. So disappointing."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Yeah, okay!" Ashton muttered, sarcastically. He wasn't buying a single word that she said. "Because you're talking back to me so calmly, right?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He didn't understand why she was trying to make him out to be a bad guy when she was responding in almost exactly the same way. It was infuriating to him. "Of course I fucking regret it but you can never know what you're gonna do. Do you think I have some crystal ball or something?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He was getting annoyed now. "I can't give you an answer because no-one can know for fucking sure! Why can't you get that?" He snapped at her. He was getting sick of this fight now. He sighed, "Audrey, of course I don't want to do that. I wouldn't want to hurt you."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa knew now - now she was on her own - that she had overreacted. And she would apologise to Seth as soon as he joined her. She didn't think for a second that he would decide to go and share with someone else. She wanted him there. She had been so looking forward to spending the night with him after all.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Although Isaac had been looking forward to sharing the night with Lucy again, he knew that he couldn't say no to a friend in need. "Of course it is. Right lucy?" He asked her as he looked at her for a moment. "Though you're not having either of our ear plugs. You're going to have to suffer."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Are you sure?" Johnny chuckled, raising an eyebrow - he was pretty sure he could see something going on there, but he knew Hettie knew Lucy a lot better than he did. "Maybe it's one sided, then." He shrugged his shoulders. He was so excited to share a compartment with her - he wasn't necessarily expecting anything to happen, but he was certainly hoping. "Of course. Is it in the boot?" He asked, already getting up and heading over to the car. He just assumed Caleb would be sharing with Audrey, so he wouldn't be annoyed that he was sharing with Hettie.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott hadn't really thought about where he'd be staying tonight; he knew it probably depended on what Hettie ended up doing, but because he was talking to River he genuinely hadn't even noticed that she was still talking to Johnny. "Don't be disappointed! I was just waiting for the professional, okay?" He grinned.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey just didn't think they were getting anywhere at all with this conversation. She really wanted them to be able to understand each other - for the stretch of time from the party at her house to the scratch night, things had been going so well. She really liked him, she really wanted something to happen and they had spent so much time together. But now she just wasn't even sure if he'd ever liked her that way. "Okay - okay, fine! Let's just - leave it, then. Let's just stop arguing." She sighed, shaking her head, almost defeated. "I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have said anything. It doesn't matter." She wasn't going to keep fighting when it felt like she was the only one who was bothered.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, of course." Lucy smiled, although she did wonder if it was the right thing to do - if he should just at least see Alyssa first, before deciding that he wanted to stay with them. "I'm just gonna go and get changed before you guys come in." She told them, turning back into the tent. She didn't really mind sharing with Seth, though - he was nice enough.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Thanks, mate..." Seth sighed softly, nodding his head. He knew that he and Alyssa would figure things out tomorrow - tomorrow, everything would be okay. He would apologise and fix things. That was all he wanted.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Pretty sure. Lucy would've told me if she was interested in him." Hettie nodded her head. SHe was sure that she and Lucy were close enough for that. "It must be. Can't blame him though. Lucy is a catch." She smiled as she shrugged her shoulders. That seemed obvious to her. Hettie was definitely looking forward to spending the night with Johnny. She thought that the two of them were going to have a lot of fun. "Yeah, my car." She nodded her head.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River laughed but she nodded her head, "THen I guess I'll have to pay more attention and report back to you, okay?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. It seemed like everyone was starting to get ready for bed and, although she had said she would share with Betsy, she found herself really hoping that Scott would ask her to share with him. She hated the hold he had over her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: He really didn't want to fight with her. Ashton just couldn't understand why she didn't seem to understand where he was coming from. He so wanted things to be good between the two of them. Ashton sighed. He took her face gently in his hands, "Did you not just hear me?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow "I never want to hurt you." He didn't think that, that part had gotten through to her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac nodded as he listened to Lucy, "Okay. Let us know when we can come in." He smiled at her. He looked to Seth then for a quick second, "You sure you don't want to check in on Alyssa?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He just wanted to double check.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Ah, don't say I've got even more competition!" Johnny laughed, but it was obvious he was teasing - he didn't see anything wrong with mentioning the whole situation, especially not as a joke. He hoped it would show Hettie that it would be okay for her to talk to him about it, if she ever felt like it. He grabbed the mattress from the car and started to shove it into the tent, managing to get it into the compartment - after shaking the whole tent for about ten minutes.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I guess you will. I'll be looking forward to it." Scott smiled as he looked over at River. He really did think she was gorgeous; he liked the confidence she had to do and wear whatever she wanted. He looked over as he heard the amount of noise Johnny was making trying to get the mattress into the tent and laughed, shaking his head. "Can't do fucking anything." He laughed - although for once, he was joking. "You got anyone to share with?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey had pretty much thought that he would walk away as soon as she said they were done arguing, so she was surprised when she felt his hands on her face. She looked up at him, her stomach fluttering as he spoke. "That's all I wanted to hear." She told him softly, smiling ever so slightly in spite of herself. It was all she'd needed from him. She reached her hand up to touch his, gently.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I will!" Lucy called from the tent. She pulled some of the blankets and pillows into their compartment before she quickly got changed, brushing her hair and washing her face as best she could with face wipes before she called them. "Come in whenever you want!" She called out to them, sliding underneath the covers and grabbing her phone. She hadn't been on it all night and she wanted to catch up quickly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth thought for a moment, before nodding his head with a sigh. "Yeah, I think I will..." He knew it would be a bad idea to go to bed without saying anything at all, even if he didn't think much would get done tonight. He crawled into the tent and went over to Alyssa, tapping her on the shoulder gently. "Hey... I just wanted to say goodnight..."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Hey - who knows. Lucy would smoke you all!" Hettie laughed with a shake of her head. SHe liked that Johnny was able to poke fun at the position they all found themselves in. She laughed as she watched him struggled and when she realised he was done, she followed him into the tent, "Come here." She whispered as she laid down, holding out her hands to him. She definitely wanted something to happen between the two of them.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "You should. It will be glorious." River nodded her head. She would never do something for the sake of someone else. It was why she hadn't shaken Scott. She knew that she probably wouldn't be his first choice but she wanted to be. She wanted to be near him. "He is pretty useless." River laughed. Though she was entirely in jest. "I think I'm sharing with you, no?" River asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a smile. She laughed then, "Lets go?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton half thought She would leave, that Audrey wouldn't really care about anything he had to say to her... but he smiled as she stayed. Ashton nodded his head. Without thinking too much about it, he leaned down to kiss her, a small smile on his lips as he did so. They were good now, he thought. Ashton definitely meant that he said. He didn't think that he would ever want to hurt her but he didn't know if he could stick with that.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac nodded, "Good idea." He muttered. He smiled slightly as he heard Lucy. He climbed up. Quickly, Isaac did a little cleaning up and then he turned and went to the compartment. "Hey." He muttered, climbing into his slipping bag as he did so, "Seths gone to talk to Alyssa. Is she okay?" He asked Lucy.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa wasn't asleep. She was looking at her phone. She needed some time away from the rest of them for a little bit. She raised an eyebrow as she heard Seths voice. "You're not staying?" Alyssa asked as she looked over at him. But then she shook her head and laid back down, "Goodnight." She sighed. SHe wasn't going to fight him, not again.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny had only just finished getting everything sorted as Hettie came in, but he couldn't help but smile. He thought she was probably the most gorgeous person he'd ever met and, at least now, she wanted him. He took her outstretched hand and laid down next to her, not wasting much time before he leaned in and kissed her softly, testing the waters. He really, really liked her. He didn't even consider the fact that the others were all staying in the same tent.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott wasn't expecting River to be so forward, but he liked it. He nodded his head. "Yeah, I think so too." He smiled, putting a hand lightly on her back as they started to walk to the tent. He wasn't always a good person, but he really didn't see that he was using River - it wasn't his intention and he would never see it that way. He thought they were on the same page.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey smiled as Ashton kissed her, wrapping her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. For now, all she needed was to know that he didn't want to hurt it - it was enough. She knew that some people would probably say she was an idiot, but she liked him too much to need anything else. She pulled away with a little smile, slipping her hand into his. "Stay with me?" She asked, smiling.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Hi," Lucy smiled as she looked up from her phone, shifting slightly to make sure that Isaac had enough room to be comfortable. It was definitely going to be squeeze with Seth in there, but she wasn't going to complain. "Oh, good - I don't know what happened, but - she didn't want to talk about it." She shrugged her shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I didn't - think you'd want me to?" Seth asked, confused as it seemed Alyssa did want him to stay there. He hadn't done this in such a long time and he felt like he was making so many mistakes. "Alyssa!" He sighed, shaking his head.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie smiled as Johnny kissed her. They had shared kisses before but she was pretty sure that both of them knew this was going to turn into more. She didn't think about the rest of the people in the tent. SHe just wanted to enjoy her time with Johnny. She wrapped her arms around him, a small laugh falling from her lips as she did so. She was definitely looking forward to this.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River nodded, leading herself and Scott to the empty compartment. She couldn't get her conversation with Betsy out of her head though. If Hettie had asked him, he would be with her. She was sure of it. She turned to look at him with a smile. "So - goodnight?" She questioned, wondering if he had other plans. He had the last time they had ended up sharing after all.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton was glad that Audrey kissed him back rather than pulling away. At least for right now, the two of them had one another and that was good enough for him. He was going to enjoy the time that the two of them had together, that was for sure. Even if he was pretty sure that Caleb would be waiting for Audrey. He liked that even more. Ashton nodded, "Don't need to ask me twice." He muttered.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Thank you." Isaac muttered as Lucy shifted. He was kind of regretting asking Seth to stay with them now, it wasn't like there was much room. But he wasn't going to say anything about it. He wasn't going to un invite his friend now. "Seth wasn't sure what happened wither."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Of course you didn't." Alyssa sighed. She had been looking forward to him sharing with her but she apparently was just being stupid. The brunette shook her head slightly, "What Seth? I'm tired."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny had never expected anything from Hettie, but he couldn't deny being glad that she seemed to want the same thing as him. He laughed as she did, unable to help himself. Anybody else was so far from his brain - Hettie was everything in that moment and he pulled away just to look at her for a second, a smile on his face before he leaned in to kiss her again.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott wondered what would happen with he and River sharing - he had certainly enjoyed the last time they'd been put in a room together and he wouldn't say no to it happening again. He laughed softly, raising an eyebrow. "Goodnight?" He asked with a smile. "Are you tired?" He would never push her any further than she wanted to go and if she said she wanted to sleep, that would be it.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: As terrible as it was, Audrey didn't even consider the fact that Caleb might be waiting for her - they had never discussed sharing a room and he had gone to bed before she had... And right now, she just wanted to be with Ashton. It was what she'd wanted all night. She laughed as he spoke, leading him into the tent and looking for an empty compartment. "In here," she smiled, grabbing her duvet on the way in. She didn't have a sleeping bag, so she'd just brought that and pillows.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No problem." Lucy said softly, smiling as she reached into her bag and handed him the spare earplugs. She could hear that people were getting into the tent now and she didn't think it would be long before she put hers in. "He didn't?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "That's really strange..."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth sighed. He really didn't want to end the night on a bad note but he felt like he was annoying her by being there and he didn't want to agitate her further. "I'm just - sorry. Whatever I did, I'm sorry." He told her softly, his brows furrowed worriedly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie smiled as she looked up at Johnny. It was so interesting to her how different Johnny and Scott were, even now, even how they were when things were getting started. She felt almost worshiped by Johnny and that was definitely a feeling that she liked. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer to her as she did so. She liked Johnny a whole lot and this was definitely something that she wanted.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River shrugged her shoulders slightly as she looked up at him, "I guess it depends what you've got in mind." She laughed. She had no idea if he wanted something or if he would just say night too. But she was interested. She wanted to know if he wanted her, really. "I'm not that tired." She shrugged her shoulders. Though it was so early that she wouldn't be surprised if he just wanted to go to sleep.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton was glad that she wanted to be with him. He didn't know if the two of them had actually figured things out but he didn't care. He was sure that the two of them were going to have a lot of fun and that was the only thing that he cared about, if he was completely honest. He followed her into the compartment but he left the sleeping bag on the outside, he figured there was enough room under her duvet.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac shot a small smile at Lucy as she gave him the ear plugs. He could already hear people getting started and he knew it wouldn't be long until he needed to use them. He definitely didn't want to have to hear anything, again. "Yeah. I dunno what happened there.."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: It was his apology, that made her realise that Seth really didn't have a clue as to what had happened with her. Alyssa sighed before she turned to face him, "Stay in here with me?" She asked him. She didn't want him to go. She was still annoyed but she was trying to put that aside.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny smiled as Hettie pulled him closer; he wasn't holding back now, he could tell that she wasn't and he didn't want to waste any time. He knew that in the morning he would probably a little bit sheepish that it was impossible for everybody not to know what they were getting up to, but he didn't care right now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow. He wondered, at times like these, what it was that River felt for him. He was content essentially being friends that occasionally decided to do more, but he wondered if that was what she though it was too. It never occurred to him that she might feel hurt by what he was doing - it was just fun. "I mean, I have some things in mind..." He laughed, shrugging his shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey wasn't sure if they were totally fine or not, but they were better and she thought it could only go up from there. He wanted to be with her and she wanted to be with him and for now, that was fine. She sat down on the duvet, looking at him with a smile. She mostly wanted to see what he was going to do next.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy shook her head. "Me either... I'm sure they'll be fine, though. They must be talking now." She shrugged her shoulders. She trusted that Seth and Alyssa would work things out and it was a good sign that he wasn't back yet, she thought. She liked that Isaac seemed to want them to fix things as much as she did, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled softly, his eyes crinkling slightly as Alyssa asked him to stay - he was more than happy to do that. "Of course." He smiled, climbing into the compartment. His stuff was already in here, after all. "I'll just let Isaac know." He told her softly, grabbing his phone and shooting the other a text. He didn't want them to be waiting for him.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie knew that this probably shouldn't have been the first time the two of them slept together but she also didn't really care. She wanted him and he wanted her and she didn't see a problem in that. Hettie knew that she definitely would not regret this in the morning and if she had been sober, she would probably be doing exactly the same thing.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River wanted to know what Scott thought about her and she wished that she was brave enough to ask him. That way, she could maybe disband the horrible things she thought. He was only with her because Hettie wasn't, she was a runner up, someone like him would never want her. She tilted her head with a laugh, "Are you just gonna stand there or are you going to show me?" She asked.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton knew there would probably be more to come from all of this but he didn't care. Right now, they had one another and that was all that mattered, he thought. They could have a good night tonight and deal with whatever was going to come next. He smiled as he looked down at her. He took off his shirt before he reached down to kiss her again.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac nodded his head, "Yeah, they must be." He hoped so anyway. He thought that they were too smart to go to bed angry. As he heard his phone buzz, he scrambled to grab it. A small smile on his lips as he read the text. "He's staying in the other room with Alyssa." He nodded. He was glad that they seemed to have sorted things out.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa nodded her head slightly. She moved, so that her body curved against his. She wanted to be near him. She knew that she had some explaining to do in the morning but she didn't think that Seth would judge her. She trusted him. She should've just told him it, before she let herself get mad.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny didn't care that this was their first time together; he thought it pretty much suited them - spontaneous and unplanned, but very wanted. He pulled away from her just for a second. "You are - so incredible." He told her with a soft laugh, shaking his head before he kissed her again. He just wanted her to know how highly he thought of her, how much he really wanted her. He didn't feel like she got a lot of that from Scott.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott was definitely attracted to the confidence that River seemed to be displaying right now and he didn't wait much longer before he crossed the tent and kissed her, pulling her close to him. He was very glad she'd come over to speak to him, he knew that for sure.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: If Audrey actually sat and thought about it, she would probably know that it wasn't exactly fair to do this with Caleb in the same tent, but she wasn't thinking. She had missed Ashton a lot and she wanted this, now. She couldn't think about anything else. She giggled as she watched him taking off his shirt, taking in how attractive he was to her before she kissed him, pulling away only to take off her own before she leaned in again.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy smiled as the text was read out, nodding her head. "I love a happy ending." She laughed, plumping her pillow slightly before she laid down properly, plugging her phone into her portable charger and pulling up her sleeping bag. She laughed as she heard a giggle from the next compartment, rolling her eyes and picking up the earplugs. "Okay - goodnight." She smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth wrapped his arms around Alyssa as she moved, kissing the top of her head softly. He knew they weren't properly together yet, but it felt like they were close and he'd been really excited to spend the night with her. He absolutely wasn't expecting anything to happen in the tent - he didn't even know if he'd want it to; not everything, anyway. For now, he was glad spending time and being with her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie raised an eyebrow as Johnny complimented her. She was a confident person but sometimes it was really nice to hear it from him too. She laughed though, despite herself. "I think you are too." She whispered, unable to help herself. Hettie wasn't one to give out compliments either but she knew that she meant it. She was so glad that the two of them were spending the night together.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River smiled as Scott kissed her. That was what she had wanted... but she still couldn't shake what Betsy had said, what she knew what true. After a couple of minutes, she pulled back from him and shook her head, "Scott - Before -" She chewed on her lip, "You'd be with Hettie right now, right? if she wasn't with Johnny?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Because she wanted to know what it was that he thought.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: The last thing that Ashton was thinking about, was Caleb or how he felt. He knew in the morning that he would be pretty smug about it all, though. He shook his head as she heard her giggle. He had missed her a lot. For a short time, he and Audrey were having such a good time. He hated that his ex girlfriend had been the one to change all of that.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "You and me both." Isaac laughed with a nod of his head. He sighed though, as he started to hear noises from the next compartment. He nodded his head slightly, picking up the ear plugs, "See you in the morning." He chuckled. He wished that he was brave enough to say something to Lucy but he knew that he couldn't.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: This was nice. Alyssa didn't think that she and Seth were far off getting together properly. She just knew that she had to tell him the truth about everything that was going on. Seth had been so good to her, so honest and she knew that it wasn't fair to keep her past with drugs, her parents relationship, a secret from him. She just hoped that they would be okay.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny hoped this meant something good for he and Hettie - he hoped it meant that they were making headway, that she was seeing him as an actual possibility rather than just somebody who was fun and a little different to Scott. Either way, he wanted this to happen.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott was surprised as River pulled away from him and he looked at her confusedly, wondering what was wrong. "Yeah?" He asked as she said his name. He wasn't really sure how to answer the question, though. "I mean - I dunno. I dunno where I'd be. Does it matter?" He asked.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey never wanted to hurt anybody, but she was definitely a person who was lead by how she was feeling in the moment and Ashton made her feel so strongly, no matter the emotion. She wasn't thinking about the morning, or anything but right now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy honestly had no idea how people had the audacity to do anything in a tent with ten other people, but she wasn't going to say anything - not when she had the earplugs and she knew she could pretty much sleep her way through it. She just knew that she would absolutely not dare, ever.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth had no idea that Alyssa was hiding anything from him, but even if he did he wouldn't mind. He thought she was entitled to keep things a secret for now - but he didn't think there was anything she could tell him that would put her off. "Goodnight," he whispered to her softly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie felt so comfortable with Johnny. She had never felt like she could be this person. She felt like a better person than when she was with him. It was why she wanted to be with him now. Though she knew that they could probably wait, she was glad that they could have fun.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River sighed, "Yes. It matters." She nodded. She chewed on her lip. She should've known that he wouldn't answer her honestly. She knew that he would be with Hettie, if Hettie wanted him to be with her. "I'm not just some toy that you get to play with when you're bored. That's why it matters." She sighed. "You clearly have -- some kind of feelings for her. And I'm not going - I don't have to wait around for you to figure those out. I think you need to be a man about it and tell Hettie however you feel because the way you treat people --- Or the way you treat me, like I'm some sort of consolation prize, it's not fair." She shook her head slightly. She had never thought she would say it and she knew that she had only said it because of the earlier conversation.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton had always been a person that lived in the moment and he knew that Audrey was as well. That was something that he liked a lot. He pulled Audrey closer to him, a smile on his face as he did so. He was definitely glad that they were doing this again.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac knew that he would never be like the others with someone at a party. Especially not in a tent. He hadn't even done it once, he couldn't imagine doing it where people could hear them. He was just trying to ignore it all. Something which was easier to do with the ear plugs.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa liked to pretend that she was perfect, she liked people thinking that she was perfect. She wanted Seth to think that she was perfect too, even though she knew how dangerous that could be. "Night."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott had never taken criticism well, but especially not like this - not in this situation. As he listened to River, he felt like she was trying to make him out to be a terrible person and he wasn't going to take that. "What the fuck, River?" He asked, narrowing his eyes. "You wanted to come in here with me. You wanted this. I didn't fucking force you to do anything." He snapped, taking a step away from her. "I didn't fucking ask you to wait around - what would you be waiting around for? Whatever's going on with me and Hettie, that's got nothing to do with you. I'm not treating you any kind of way, because this is just - it is what it is. You wanted it, I wanted it. I didn't fucking say it was anything else. I'm not asking you to wait around." He knew he was being harsh, but he didn't like that she had gone from being completely wanting him to essentially saying he was using her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River shook her head slightly as Scott started. She knew that he wouldn't take it good but she thought that it was important to tell him what she thought. She had no idea if he was actually going to listen to her. "Yeah, I wanted this. I wanted to actually be your first choice. But of course that's not gonna happen, is it?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "You didn't force me to do anything but you're not stupid, are you? You know that no-one likes being someones second choice." She sighed. "Because that's the thing, Scott. The fact that you're in here with me and think that I can't be annoyed because you think that you can just use someone whenever Hetties busy - why?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Because you think I'll help make her jealous, like last time? I'm not that person, Scott. And I'm not going to let you make me that person."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott rolled his eyes as River spoke. He didn't like the insinuation that him being with anybody but Hettie automatically meant they were number two. "If you don't like, why do you do it?! You came over to me, River. You said you wanted to share with me. You instigated those things and now, what? I'm in the wrong for letting something happen?" He asked, shaking his head. "If you didn't want to be a second choice, then you didn't need to come over. And this fucking - this second choice stuff is bullshit. Why does it matter?!" He repeated, shaking his head. It was annoying him that he was even having to have this argument. "I'm not trying to make anybody jealous. I don't give a fuck." He snapped. For tonight, at least, it was true. He wasn't trying to make her jealous, he'd just wanted to be in here with her. But he didn't anymore. "Don't, then. I'll fucking sleep somewhere else. I don't fucking care." He snapped.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "And when I asked you if you would be with Hettie right now, if she asked, you didn't even have an answer. I instigated things, sure, but I don't think it's very fair of you to keep things going when you clearly like someone else, when you want to be with them." She shook her head. She was getting annoyed now. She really wished that this had come out better."Because I like you, you idiot! And it isn't fair. It's not fair that I have to feel like I'm not good enough to actually be your choice." River snapped at him. And a second later, she realised what it was that she had said. She shook her head, "No. I'll go climb in with Betsy." She muttered with a shake of her head. She wasn't going to keep having the fight with Scott, since it seemed pretty obvious to her that Scott didn't care about her at all.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Because I don't know, like I said! Would you rather me make up an answer so that you're happy?" Scott asked, shrugging his shoulders. He didn't know why she seemed to expect him to predict something that could or couldn't have happened. He sighed as she said she liked him - he actually did feel kind of bad then, because he hadn't known that. "Well, I didn't know that! I thought we were both on the same page here, okay? I thought we both knew what this was." He told her with a shake of his head. "Fine. Go on, then." He didn't ever want to seem like he cared, not even now.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River shook her head slightly. She felt like an idiot. Because of course she had been making up whatever she thought that was between the two of them. "Fine." She muttered. She really didn't fee like going to sleep now though. She grabbed her phone before she looked at him again, "I just think it's about time that you be honest with Hettie. Because it's effecting other people now and that isn't on." She was referring mostly to Johnny, not herself. She shook her head and left the tent. She needed to go for a walk, to clear her head. And so that is what she did.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott just rolled his eyes as River told him to be honest, letting her walk out without saying anything. He didn't even realise she'd left the tent, he assumed she'd done what she said and gone to crash with Betsy. He grabbed his phone and laid down in his sleeping bag, absolutely furious. He wasn't going to take this.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: ***** a few hours later *****
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott woke up with a groan, forgetting where he was for a second until he realised just how cold it was. He didn't think it could be more than a couple of hours later than they'd gone to bed. It was still pitch black, he knew that. He checked his phone - it was five in the morning, so only about two hours since his and River's argument had finished. The hangover had definitely started to set in and he needed water, so he crawled out to where they had left all of the bottles to get one. He noticed on his way that Betsy had left her compartment open, but it struck him that she was alone in there. "Betsy," he hissed, hoping he wouldn't wake everybody else up. "Betsy! Wake up!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy had left the compartment unzipped so that River could come in if she felt like she needed it, but she'd ended up falling asleep with it open. She didn't really care, she had pyjamas on and was under a sleeping bag and she wouldn't have even noticed until morning if she wasn't awoken by somebody whispering her name. "What the fuck, Scott?" She groaned, rubbing her eyes tiredly. "Fuck off, go back to sleep."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny hadn't been asleep long at all when he heard noises outside the compartment; he wasn't that much of a heavy sleeper, so he woke up with a start and tried to listen to what was happening. "What's going on?" He asked Hettie quietly, his eyes not properly open yet. He didn't think it could be much later than four or five at most, it was still pitch black.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Like Johnny, Audrey hadn't been asleep for very long, but she'd fallen asleep quite deeply and didn't start to stir until she hurt Johnny's voice layered over the other two. She groaned, pulling the duvet further up over herself and Ashton and tried to block out the noise. "Shut up," she called softly, still half asleep.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: With the earplugs in, Lucy wasn't hearing anything at all - they had done their job, she hadn't heard a thing all night and because of that she was sound asleep, cosy as anything in the sleeping bag and blanket she'd brought. She'd set an alarm for the morning so that she could get up, but the voices weren't doing anything.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth was a light sleeper and he'd only had a couple of drinks, so the whispering woke him up right away. He thought about ignoring it, but as he heard more voices chiming in, he unzipped part of the compartment and stuck his head out. "What's going on?" He whispered, worriedly. He knew they wouldn't be awake if something wasn't wrong.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie wanted to ignore all of the whispers and everything but when she heard Johnnys voice, she sighed and shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not a mind reader, am I? How the hell would I know?" She was not good in the mornings, that was for sure. And she didn't like being woken up for no reason, like she thought that this would be. She had no idea that someone was missing.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb hadn't really slept much through the night. He had woken up sporadically. He kept expecting to find Audrey next to him and he continuously woke up alone. He sighed as he woke up again and heard voices outside the compartment. He sighed as he got up, "If it's not life or death, keep it down?" He asked them. He was surprised to find Scott was the one making the commotion.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton had been sleeping quite peacefully... and he didn't hear the first whispers but he did hear Audreys. He turned on his side slightly, so that he could look at her, "What's going on?" He asked her with a raise of an eyebrow. He wondered if she knew more than he did.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac, like Lucy, was sleeping quite peacefully with the ear plugs in. He hadn't heard any of the couples, the fight with Scott and River, or the whispers now. Something that he was definitely going to be grateful for in the morning.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa had her eyes closed as she heard Seths voice. She was pretty sure that if something was important, then she would wake up but she didn't see the point in doing that right now. "Tell them to be quiet." She muttered, trying to get more comfortable in the sleeping bag. She was sure that she had only been asleep for a couple of hours.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott knew that people were going to be pissed off at him for waking them up, but he didn't really care - and he didn't think they would either when they realised what was going on. "No, wake up! River said she was gonna come in and share with you, but she's not here... Where the fuck is she?" He was worried, because they'd argued that she'd done something stupid. "Is she with anybody else?" He asked, his voice getting louder.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy really didn't want to get up, she had been in a pretty deep sleep and her reflexes were a lot slower because she'd been woken up so suddenly. She woke with a start though, as Scott spoke. "No, she's not in here... She hasn't been in here all night, I would've woken up." She was sure of that. "What the fuck have you done, Scott?" She asked him accusingly. She could tell he felt guilty about something.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny chuckled sleepily, shaking his head. "You might've been. I had to check." His speech was slow and sleepy and he sat up slowly, letting out a loud yawn. He thought he heard something about River and he popped his head out, tiredly. "River's not here?" He asked, awakening more quickly as he started to get a little bit worried.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I don't know..." Audrey muttered tiredly, opening her eyes with a little groan as she sat up. She knew they weren't going to be quiet anytime soon, so she thought she might as well see what was going on. She reached for her t-shirt and pulled it on, unzipping the compartment but not getting out from under the duvet. "Who's not here?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth was about to ask them to keep it down a little bit when he heard what Scott said. "Lyss, wake up..." He whispered, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I think River is missing..." He wondered where she could possibly be at this time. "She could've gone to the toilet or something?" He asked. But they weren't exactly far away.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Of course." Hettie raised an eyebrow as she heard Rivers name. She knew that the other could be in trouble... but she didn't know if she especially cared, which was so bad, she knew. She sighed as she sat up. She frowned as she heard Betsy speak to Scott and got up then. She wanted to know whatever had happened, if something had happened. One look at Scotts face though, showed her that Betsy was right. He was definitely guilty about something. "What happened?" She asked him, no accusation in her tone as she did so.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton got up then. He didn't care about them seeing him in his boxers, he just wanted to know whatever it was that was going on. He raised an eyebrow as he saw the look on his friends face, though. He didn't accuse him of anything like Betsy and Hettie, though he was definitely intrigued. He had thought he had heard arguing the night before and he wondered if it was River and Scott now.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb raised an eyebrow as he heard what was going on. "Well - how long has she been missing?" He asked. Because he thought that, that mattered. If she had gone out for a little bit, he didn't see the point in them getting too worried about it. He sighed though, as he saw Audrey and Ashton following after her. Though he knew that right now was not the time to bring it up, he had definitely thought she would share with him.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa sat up as she heard Seth say that River was missing. She quickly got changed then, deciding that if someone was missing, they had to go out looking immediately, so she wanted to be dressed. "Yeah - how long as she been gone?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott rolled his eyes at the tone in Betsy's voice, turning to Hettie as she spoke. He looked at her and only her as he answered. "We had a bit of an argument. She said she was gonna go and share with Betsy instead, so I just went to sleep. But if you're saying she never came in with you, then that's been like - two hours." He shook his head. It was definitely worrying, he knew that and he felt like he was to blame. He knew he'd lost his head a little bit, but he hadn't thought she was going to run away or anything.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "For fucks sake, Scott." Betsy snapped, grumbling as she slid out of her sleeping bag and pulled on her jacket over her pyjamas. The last thing she wanted to go and do was hunt for River at five in the morning, but she was going to be the first one out there looking because she didn't want anything happening to the younger girl. "You're such a prick." She muttered, shaking her head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey was still pretty confused, having just woken up, so it took her a second to realise fully what was going on. "Two hours?" She asked quietly, rubbing her eyes with her hands. She couldn't help but wonder what the hell River and Scott had argued about. She looked around the tent, her eyes catching on Caleb looking at her. She gave him a little smile, but she couldn't help but feel awkward.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny immediately got up and started pulling on his clothes as Scott said it had been two hours. It was too long for her to be okay, he knew that. It was cold and dark and he wasn't leaving her out there on her own - she was like a little sister to him. "We need to be looking for her, if it's been that long. Come on, get up." He addressed everybody, even though he was still tired and would love to get back into bed, he wasn't going to be able to until they knew where River was.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: As Alyssa started to get changed, Seth copied her and started to change out of his pyjamas. He didn't want to waste any time, if she really was in trouble. "Try calling her phone? Does anybody have her number?" He asked. He wanted to try and stay rational, but his brain was working slowly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie raised an eyebrow as she listened to Scott. She was so curious as to what it was that they had fought about, though she knew that now was definitely not the time. She looked at Johnny as he started. "We can't just go out there can we? We'll get as lost as she is! Shouldn't we think about it for a second?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow but she didn't know if there would be much talking Johnny out of it and she knew that she couldn't just stay there.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Even Ashton was concerned when he heard how long River must have been outside for. He was freezing in the tent, he was sure that it wouldn't be nice to be outside as well. He moved to get changed. "We should definitely get sorted and get out there." He nodded. He figured that this was the easiest way to find her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb dropped his gaze from Audrey as she smiled at him. He was usually pretty chill but he didn't think that she had been all that fair to him. He turned back into his compartment, pulling on some clothes so that he could help with the search. "Someone should stay here." He muttered with a nod of his head, "In case she came back before the rest of us."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I think her phone will probably be dead, Seth." Alyssa spoke gently to him. She knew that if she hadn't put hers on charge, then herswould be dead and she didn't know how much signal River would actually have if she was too deep into the woods.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy nodded her head as she heard Caleb - she definitely thought it made sense. "I'll stay here, in case she comes back." She thought that she was probably the best one to be here when River got back - it definitely wouldn't be Scott anyway and she thought he deserved to be out there, looking for her in the cold. "My phone is fully charged, so if you find her someone call me and I'll do the same?" She asked.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We're all together, we've got less chance of getting lost than she has. Everybody can stay with somebody." Johnny said with a shrug of his shoulders. There was no way he wasn't going out there to look for her; if she really was lost, Johnny could only imagine how scared she was and he wanted to go out and find her. "Everybody wrap up, it's fucking freezing." He muttered, grabbing his jacket.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey's smile fell as Caleb looked away from her, but she knew now wasn't the time to do anything. They had to find River. She nodded as Ashton spoke and got up to grab her clothes. She hadn't even brought anything warm, not really, but she pulled her dress from last night back on and her denim jacket. She had to hope that River wasn't far away, that she'd just gone to the toilet or something similar and would be back soon. She picked up one of the blankets, assuming that the girl would be freezing if they found her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott felt awful, he knew that River probably wouldn't have gone anywhere if it hadn't been for him and he wished he could go back and be a little bit nicer, but he knew all they could do now was find her. He got dressed and put his coat on, climbing out of the mouth of the tent and waiting for the others to join him. He hoped they found her soon, he hoped she was okay. He felt terrible.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, you're probably right." Seth nodded his head, sighing softly. He was just really worried about the girl, especially since she was a bit younger than most of them. It didn't take him long to get dressed and he soon joined Scott outside of the tent, turning on the torch on his phone, ready.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Sounds good." Caleb nodded his head. He just hoped that they would find her. He was usually so chilled out, so care free but he also had a big imagination. This was one of those times that he let his imagination get the better of him. He had all but convinced himself that someone had snatched River, as he climbed out of the tent. "Should we split into small groups?" He asked, " But stick to those groups?" He thought that, that was probably a good way to find her quickly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie nodded her head. She knew that there was no way that Johnny was going to not go out and look for River and so Hettie wanted to be out there to try and help him. They had, had such a good night. She couldn't help but feel annoyed that River had gone for a walk and decide to get herself lost. She knew that, that wouldn't be fair. She was so frustrated by all of this.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton pulled on his trousers and once he was sure that Audrey was ready, he headed out to the front of the tent. He nodded slightly as he listened to Caleb. Though he didn't really know how to split them. He didn't want Scott to beat himself up about all of this though, and he clapped his friend on the back, almost a show of support.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa took Seths hand after she had pulled on her coat. She was definitely worried about her and she just hoped that she would be okay. "Okay - so in threes or fours?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head as Caleb suggested groups - it was definitely a better idea than them all going out in one big group, he didn't think they'd have a chance of finding her. "We'll go in fours." He muttered, raising an eyebrow. He looked at Hettie, almost praying she would go with him. He needed her to keep him calm. "We'll go with you two?" He looked over at Ashton and Audrey. He just wanted to get moving now, if he was honest. He kept replaying what he'd said to River before she'd left.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny wasn't going to dispute Scott and Hettie going in the same group - he thought this was more important than that and to be honest, he actually kind of understood why he would want her there for this. "And me and Caleb will go with you guys." He nodded over to Alyssa and Seth. "We'll go this way, you guys that way?" He spoke to the other group. He wanted to check absolutely everywhere - he was going to absolutely make sure they found her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey followed the others out of the tent, her arms wrapped around herself, still holding the blanket for River. She could only imagine that the girl would be terrified if she really was lost and if she wasn't, then something was equally as wrong. "We'll keep in touch, though? Keep updating each other?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth squeezed Alyssa's hand gently; whatever happened, he knew he wasn't going to leave her and he was glad that they were put in the same groups. "Right... Let's get off, then." He sighed softly, raising an eyebrow to see if everybody else was ready. He didn't want to waste anymore time.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie nodded her head ever so slightly, not disputing the fact that Scott wanted her to be in the same group as him. She would be there for him if he needed her and it seemed like he definitely needed her. She took his hand with a sigh, "She'll be okay." Hettie whispered with a nod of her head. "She'll have just gone for a walk or something. She'll be fine." Because Hettie didn't really know what else to say.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton followed after the others with a nod of his head. HE thought that it made most sense to split up and he started the way that Johnny indicated. Nothing else mattered right now. River was one of the younger ones and he wanted to be able to find her. He almost felt responsible for her, since he was one of the oldest in the group.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb nodded. He gave Alyssa and Seth a small smile, "Yeah, we'll keep in touch." He muttered to Audrey. He didn't know how long they were going to be but he hoped that they would all find her soon enough. "River?!" Caleb called, not sure what else to really do. The woods were huge. He had no idea how long this was going to take now.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa smiled slightly as Seth squeezed her hand. She picked up one of the blankets from the chairs. She figured that River would need it, if they were the ones to find her. Even if she hadn't gotten lost, she knew that River still wouldn't be in a good state. It was freezing out there and to be out for two hours ... it would definitely have taken it's toll on her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head. He really hoped that Hettie was right, although he couldn't help thinking that even if she had gone for a walk she would still be absolutely freezing. "Nobody goes for a walk for two hours in the pitch black." He said softly, shaking his head. He was happy of the contact though, as she took his hand. He continued to walk, shining his phone torch everywhere.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey thought it was pretty creepy, walking around in the woods that this time, but she knew she had to get past it - finding River was so much more important than being scared. "River?!" She called everytime they passed somewhere new, her own phone torch shining. She felt bad as she realised she hadn't really spoken to the girl since they'd arrived.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "River?!" Johnny called, trying not to let any defeat trickle into his voice. He felt so responsible for finding her, because he was one of the oldest there but also because she had become like a sister to him and he felt the same way he would if this was his actual sister. He should've made sure she was okay, but he'd been caught up with Hettie. "River?!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth stayed quiet, but he kept his phone torch on and shone it on the path so that they could all see where they were going. After a while, he started to wonder where on Earth the girl could be. She had walked pretty far, wherever she had gone and he wondered what she was thinking, what she was doing. He just wanted to find her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie sighed as Scott spoke and she shrugged her shoulders, "I guess it depends on what you guys argued about, don't you think?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She knew that she would be pretty annoyed if Scott and her had, had a bad fight, she would probably storm out and regret it later too. Though she definitely didn't think that he was to blame for any of this. River was a grown up, after all.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton wrapped an arm around Audrey as they walked, mostly to try and make sure that she was warm enough, it wasn't like any of them had expected for this to happened. He kept his eyes on where the phone beams were crossing. And he raised an eyebrow as he thought he saw someone sitting on the ground. "Wait -" He pointed to what he thought he saw... though as they got closer he realised it was just a root of the tree. "My bad.." He sighed.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb looked to his friend, not sure what to say. He liked to be an optimist but this definitely didn't look good now. "She can't be too far, right?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He just hoped that she would be found soon because he didn't know how long any of them could wait outside.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa squeezed Seths hand, wanting him to know that, whatever he was thinking, she would have his back. She could definitely see how easy it would be to get lost in the woods like this though.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River heard the shouting. She hadn't even realised that she didn't really know where she was going. She thought it would be easy enough to turn around and go the way she came but in the dark, everything looked the same. She was freezing, having only come out in her PJs. She wasn't even sure she could tell who it was that was calling for her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head. "She said she was gonna go in with Betsy, if I'd have known she wasn't... I would've followed. I wouldn't have let her fucking come out here on her own." He sighed. He knew at least some of it was his fault, but he hadn't known what she was going to do. He would apologise, when they found her. They just had to find her first, he knew that. He looked up hopefully as Ashton spoke, sighing as he realised it was just a tree. "No, no - she's there!" He yelled, seeing a figure moving in the distance. "There's someone there!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey was grateful for the warmth that Ashton's arm around her brought; she was pretty sure she'd be freezing without it, which only served to remind her how cold River must be out there on her own. She looked quickly as Ashton spoke, shaking her head as she saw the tree root. But her heart jumped again as Scott said he saw her, her eyes widening as she saw whoever it was too. "River!" She called, speeding up as she saw the person moving. "River, it's Audrey!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Surely not much further than this." Johnny sighed, shaking his head. He felt like they'd been walking for ages and he didn't know how much longer they could stay out for without getting ill, but he wasn't leaving until they'd found her. He was pretty mad at Scott, for obviously saying something that had made her want to leave.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth squeezed Alyssa's hand back - he was so glad she was here with him, or he'd be worrying about her as well as River. He just wondered why on earth she had gone out so late, even if she and Scott had an argument.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "No, I know. I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying." Hettie shrugged her shoulders slightly. She didn't think that Scott would've done anything worthy of this. She thought that Scott could be pretty bad but if no-one else had realised what was going on, he couldn't have been that bad, could he? She quickly looked to where the others were referring to. She definitely saw it as well.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton looked to where the other two were talking about and he nodded his head slightly, "That's definitely someone..." It was who, that was the problem. He hoped that it was River. They had been out for quite a while and he hoped that it was River, mostly so that they could get home soon. "River?" He called.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: When she heard Audreys voice, her name being called, River quickly made her way forward, so that she could see them, "Oh my god." She sighed. They were really there. Scott too. She didn't look at him though, keeping her eyes on Audrey. "What are you guys doing out here?" She asked, her teeth chattering as she spoke. She was so cold but she didn't want anyone else to realise that.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Hopefully not." Caleb muttered with a shake of his head and a sigh. He heard Johnnys phone go then, "Is that an update?" He asked, hoping that someone had found her. He really wanted to go back to the tent. He wanted to go back to having fun with his friends. He wanted to find River too.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa, like Seth, was wondering why River had gone out so late. She couldn't help but think that she was being a little bit reckless... though she thought that, that suited River pretty well. She looked at Johnny as she heard his phone. She really did hope that someone had found her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head - he knew that Hettie wasn't judging him, he just hated feeling like this. As River came forward and he saw it was her, he let out a huge sigh of relief. "Thank fuck..." He muttered, shaking his head. He noticed that she wasn't looking at him and he wasn't even going to say anything for now - he was just so glad she was safe.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Oh my god." Audrey sighed as she saw that it was definitely River, rushing forward with the blanket. "We're looking for you, why are you out here?!" She asked, her voice soft as she wrapped the blanket around the girls shoulders and then wrapped her own arm around her. "It doesn't matter, at least you're safe now." She sighed, rubbing her arms to try and warm her up.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny jumped slightly as his phone went off and he pulled it out quickly, the relief clearly visible on his face as he read the message. "They've found her." He told them, the tension from his shoulders dropping as he realised that River was safe and they could go back to the tent. "Oh, thank god." He sighed. "We can head back."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "They did?!" Seth was so happy to hear that they'd found River, that she was safe - he didn't know how she'd be when they got back, but at least she was safe. "Let's go back." He wrapped an arm around Alyssa's shoulders, kissing her forehead softly.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie let go of Scotts hand as they found her and quickly sent a text to Johnny, to explain what it was that was happening, that they had found her. She wondered if something was going to happen between Scott and River and she didn't think that she really wanted to be there for that if that was the case. "Lets start heading back." Hettie whispered with a nod of her had. SHe didn't think she would ever shake how cold she was.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton quickly took of his jacket and wrapped it around Rivers shoulders. He knew it wouldn't be long until they got back to the tent and he would be able to warm up there. It was better that River had the chance to warm up. She had been there for hours after all.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River shook her head ever so slightly as Audrey said that they were looking for her. "There wasn't any need. I was just out for a walk." She wasn't going to admit that she had gotten lost. She was almost certain that she would've gotten back to the tent eventually. She looked at Audrey, she didn't even think that the other girl cared all that much about her. She sighed, not sure what to really do or say. She felt like even more of an idiot than before.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb smiled as he heard that they had found River, "That is good." He muttered with a nod of his head. "This is excellent news!" He laughed. The last thing that he wanted, was for something bad to have happened to River. "And now we get to go home and get warm. Maybe even get a little more sleep." He shrugged his shoulders.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa smiled as she heard that they had found River. She was so curious as to where the girl had been, what it was that she had been doing all that time but she knew that now wasn't the time for those questions, they would get there. She quickly sent a text to Betsy to tell her that River had been found.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy hadn't had much to do while she'd been waiting back at the tent, but as soon as she got the text from Alyssa confirming that they'd found River, she filled the little battery powered kettle they'd brought with them and made the girl a cup of tea - she was sure she would be freezing and even if she didn't want it, at least she'd tried. She sighed and climbed out of the tent, standing at the entrance, waiting for them to come back.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott wanted to talk to River, but he didn't want to do it in front of everyone and he didn't think that she wanted that either. He didn't think she'd just gone for a walk, he was pretty sure something else had happened because she didn't seem herself at all. He sighed and nodded his head at what Hettie said, starting to walk back.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Well, either way - we can all go back now, right?" Audrey smiled, shrugging her shoulders. She was pretty sure there was more to it than that, but she wasn't going to push. It didn't matter where River had gone, just that they were getting her back now. "And we can all get some more sleep, yeah?" She didn't want her to feel bad for them all coming out to get her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, nodding his head. "It is excellent news!" He smiled. He was glad they'd updated him as soon as they'd found her, he felt a lot more relaxed now. They weren't that far from the tent and they were soon back. "Definitely get a little more sleep. I feel like a zombie." He chuckled, shaking his head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth didn't plan on asking River anything; he was definitely curious as to why she'd gone out and what she was doing, but he didn't think it was his place to ask and he didn't want her to feel anymore awkward than she probably already would.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie so wanted to know the ins and outs of the fight but she knew that it wasn't time. She wondered if Scott would even tell her them anyway. She started back to the tent. She didn't think that they were too far away now.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton just hoped that things would be a little calmer once they had gotten back ."I definitely need some more sleep. Have you even slept, River?" He looked to her then. He didn't think that she could've.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Yeah, lets get back." River muttered with a nod of her head and a sigh. She was glad that no-one was trying to push her to talk about what had happened. She wondered how much Scott had told them. She couldn't bring herself to look at him, she felt like such a fool. She shook her head at Ashtons question. She was so cold though, she barely felt the tiredness.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb smiled as he heard his friends laugh. He knew how important River was to him and he was so glad that she had been found. "You and me both." He laughed. "But it sounded like you and Hettie were having fun tonight.." He didn't know if now was the time but he was trying to lighten the mood a little bit.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa knew that she would definitely try and figure out what had happened in the morning, with Lucys help, she was sure. But she was too curious. She knew that she probably wouldn't go back to sleep now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott was glad that River was safe, but seeing how cold and sad she looked made him feel even worse if possible. He knew that if they'd just had a conversation rather than an argument, this probably wouldn't have happened. He scratched his head slightly awkwardly, glad when they arrived back at the tent.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey sighed as River shook her head - she hoped she would be able to get some sleep now. It was about six in the morning, but it wasn't like they couldn't all have a bit of a lie in. "Here we are..." She said softly as they got back.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy sighed in relief as she saw the first lot of people heading back, especially when she saw that River was with them. "Thank god you're back..." She muttered, shaking her head. "Hey, c'mere..." She smiled as she looked over to River, beckoning her over.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, shaking his head - he was glad that Caleb, like him, wanted to lighten the mood a little bit rather than keep everybody down. He wrapped an arm around Caleb's shoulders happily. "Aw, are you jealous?" He chuckled, squeezing his best friend gently. Now that they'd found River, he was pretty happy when he thought back on what had happened with Hettie earlier in the night.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth's eyes were pretty much closing as he walked, he was so tired and he knew that he'd be flat out when he got into the tent - but he was very glad that River was okay. It was like his body knew she was fine and now it wanted its bedtime. "There's the tent." He nodded as he saw the people around it. They weren't more than two minutes away.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Come on." Hettie whispered, pulling Scott towards the tent with her, "I wanna talk to you." All Hettie knew was that Scott needed a friend right now. She could see on his face how bad he felt about everything that had happened. She wanted to be there for him now. She had, had such a good night with Johnny but Scott was always her priority. She didn't know if that would ever change.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton sighed slightly as they get back to the camp site, as they saw Betsy waiting for River. "Do you wanna go and try get more sleep?" He asked Audrey. He figured that Betsy could probably handle this on her own and it wasn't like he and Audrey had slept for that long before everything kicked off.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River had always been the smart one. She was supposed to know what she was doing. Yet she had gone out for a walk in the middle of the night and thought that she would be fine. She was an even bigger idiot than she thought she was. She smiled slightly as she saw Betsy. She was just glad to be with someone who she considered a friend. The other four were merely cast mates at this point. "I'm sorry." River whispered to her friend as she moved over to her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: C"Yeah, actually, I am." Caleb laughed with a nod of his head. He would never judge Audrey for sleeping with Ashton, he just thought that it was weird. They hadn't talked all night, as far as Caleb was concerned and he thought that the two of them were getting somewhere.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa wrapped her arm around Seths waist, attempting to guide him back to the tent, "I'm gonna put this one back to bed, then I'll come out and sit with you two." She whispered to Betsy and River. Alyssa was awake now and she knew that she wouldn't get back to sleep.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott didn't argue as Hettie started leading him towards the tent; he didn't know how much he actually wanted to talk about what he and River had argued about - not because of the bad light it painted him in, but because he didn't want to embarrass her, but it was always hard not to tell Hettie what was on his mind. "Fine," he agreed softly, climbing into the compartment he'd been sleeping in before and waiting for Hettie to join him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey nodded her head tiredly; she was still exhausted, even more so from being out in the woods and she hoped nobody would mind if they went back to bed for a little bit. "Yeah, do you think that's okay with everyone?" She asked, her voice quiet. She would stay up if they needed her to, but she didn't really know what else she could do. River had her friends now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy shook her head at River's apology, winding an arm around her shoulders as she came over to her. "Made you a cup of tea." She handed it over, a little smile on her face. In the morning, if River asked, she wouldn't lie - she would tell her it was a stupid idea to go for a walk at that time without letting them know and she would tell her that she needed to lay off Scott, but this wasn't the time. She just wanted to be there for her friend now. She would give Scott a piece of her mind later on.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy had slept through pretty much everything, but even with earplugs in it was impossible for her not to hear a whole host of people coming back into the tent. Careful not to wake Isaac, she pulled out her earplugs and stepped out of the tent. "What's going on?" She asked, taking in that pretty much everybody but her and Isaac were awake and in the middle of the tent.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny had been so wrapped up in Hettie and everything going on that he genuinely hadn't even thought about his friend or where he'd ended up - it was only now that he realised he'd seen him come out of the tent on his own. "What even happened there?" He asked, shaking his head in confusion. He felt bad now, for not checking on Caleb before he'd gotten too involved in his own situations. He absolutely didn't regret anything that had happened with Hettie, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed softly as Alyssa started trying to guide him back to the tent. "I'm not gonna fall down." He chuckled, but he appreciated how much she cared enough to try just in case. "You sure you don't want anymore sleep?" He asked as they reached their compartment. He would stay up with her, but he was absolutely exhausted.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie was never going to tell Scott that he had to talk about whatever it was that was going on. But she wanted to know what it was that was going on, that he was thinking. She quickly followed him into the compartment. She sat down before she looked up at him "Are you okay?" She asked. She knew that River was upset but Scott was who she was concentrating on. She wanted to make sure he was okay, no matter what.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I don't think they will care." Ashton shrugged his shoulders. He figured that the majority of them were probably going to go back to sleep now themselves anyway. And he didn't think that either he or Audrey was really going to do any good out here. "If they need us, they'll know where we are, you know?" He asked wit a raise of an eyebrow, starting towards the tent.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River knew that she had been stupid, she knew that she needed to stop with Scott now. She didn't need to hear any of that from Betsy. She already knew that. "Thanks." River muttered. She wrapped her hands around the cup, a sigh falling from her lips. She definitely needed this. "You dont' have to stay up with me." She shook her head. "It's fine if you want to go back to bed."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa laughed as she heard Seth, "I know but I still want to help" She shrugged her shoulders slightly. "I'm not going to sleep. But it's fine. I'll just stock up on coffee." She smiled at him and when she heard Lucys voice, she turned to her friend. "How did you sleep through it all?" She laughed. "River wasn't in the tent, she went missing. We've been out looking for her. She's outside with Betsy now."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb laughed and shrugged his shoulders as Johnny asked what had happened. "Your guess is as good as mine. I go to bed, thinking she's gonna come join me and I wake up with Ashton coming out of the tent with her, in his boxers." He shook his head slightly. Caleb wasn't going to get angry about it but he wasn't happy. He thought he at least deserved a conversation or something.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott shrugged at the question. "She's back, isn't she?" That was the most important thing, even he knew that. He did feel bad for the way he'd acted, but not for what he'd said - he still stood by the fact that River's question had been unfair. He didn't think it was his fault that they were on different pages. "I'll apologise to her in the morning." He sighed, running a hand through his hair tiredly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey nodded her head in agreement; she didn't see what more they could do, not when they were so tired. She knew people would come and get them, if they wanted them. "Okay, come on then." She smiled tiredly, climbing into the tent. She knew this would all seem so much better for everybody if they all got some sleep.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy wasn't the type of person to berate someone over a lesson they had already learned; which was why she wouldn't offer her opinion unless River asked. She shook her head with a smile. "Nah, unlike most of the people here I actually got some sleep. I'm fine." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Do you want to go to sleep?" She realised that River probably hadn't slept at all.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy laughed, mostly in shock. "What? I had - these bloody earplugs in. At least I know they work." She couldn't believe she'd managed to sleep through all of that and not wake up once. "But she's back and she's safe?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. That was the most important thing after all. "Where the hell did she go?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: As soon as Seth realised that Alyssa was okay with Lucy and the others, he climbed back into his sleeping bag and got his head down. He needed more sleep, especially if people wanted him to drive anywhere tomorrow. He was out in under a minute, fast asleep.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Fucking hell... I didn't even think - fucking hell." Johnny shook his head. The last he'd seen, they'd been arguing outside. He was never not surprised by how fast people moved. "Deal with it all tomorrow, yeah?" He smiled, clapping his friend on the back softly. "Come on, we'll go get some more sleep in your compartment."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie shook her head, "That's not what I asked." She sighed slightly. She really wanted to know what had happened and she was stopping herself from actually asking because she knew, if Scott wanted to tell her, he would tell her. "I asked if you're okay." She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't really care if you're going to apologise tomorrow, I don't even know what you're apologising for."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton nodded his head as he followed her into the tent and to her compartment. He needed some more sleep. He was sure that he would be more useful if he got a little more sleep. He was glad that she was joining him again though.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River wondered if what she had said had even gotten through to Scott. She didn't like that he and Hettie seemed so okay with pulling people into whatever it was that they had going on. "Were they really loud again?" She laughed slightly before taking a sip of her drink. "Not yet." River muttered with a shake of her head. She was pretty sure that she needed to warm up a little bit first.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "They definitely work." Alyssa nodded. She smiled after Seth as he moved back to their bed before she turned to her friend. "Yeah, yeah. She's outside. Just cold, I think. But she's okay." That had been Alyssas first thought. Now she wanted to know why the hell River had been out there in the first place. "I think she had a fight with Scott - or something. And she left to go for a walk."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb shrugged his shoulders. He was trying not to dwell on it, he just didn't understand why she would go with Ashton. He nodded as Johnny said about dealing with it tomorrow, "That sounds good." He was so tired now. "Only if I get to be the little spoon." He laughed, climbing back into his sleeping bag.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I dunno. I feel bad, obviously. Fucking... bad that what I said made her want to go out in the fucking woods at whatever time it was." Scott sighed, shaking his head. He'd lost his temper and he'd forgotten that not everybody knew how he got when that happened. "She fucking - made me out to be this terrible person for always making her second choice. Whatever the fuck that means."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey was glad that it seemed to go without saying that they were staying together; it was nice, not to have an awkward conversation about it and after what they'd done earlier, she'd have thought it was a little weird if they stayed otherwise. She snuggled into him as they laid down, still cold from the searching.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes. "They're all drama queens, of course they were loud. I felt like going to sleep in the car." She laughed, shaking her head. She didn't really mind, though. She was glad that River seemed to be at least okay for now - they would handle the rest another time. "Okay, so it's perfect then." She smiled. She would stay with her for as long as she wanted her to and she was glad the other girls were here, too.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Maybe a little too well. Isaac's still flat out." Lucy laughed - she knew the situation wasn't funny, but she couldn't help finding humour in the fact that they'd slept through absolutely all of it. She raised an eyebrow. She thought going for a walk at five in the morning was a pretty ridiculous thing to do. "Of course Scott was involved."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny didn't like that his friend actually seemed a little bit sad about what had happened - he didn't like seeing it, not when he knew all too well how it felt. "Just for tonight." He chuckled, grabbing the sleeping bag he'd left in the middle of the tent and joining his best friend.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "You didn't make her go out into the woods though. Whatever you said didn't make her walk out there. She did that on her own. You have nothing to feel bad for." Hettie shook her head. She and Scott had, had some rows before but nothing he said to her would've made her go out into the woods alone. She thought that River had been stupid. "What the fuck? Second choice? What?!"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton didn't think that he had to think about where he was going. It wasn't like they had exactly figured everything out yet but he didn't think that they had to. They were both having fun. He thought that, that was all that mattered and now he wanted to go to sleep.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River laughed and nodded her head, "I'm getting kind of glad that I got lost then." She shook her head slightly. She didn't see the point in pretending with Betsy. She was so glad that the other girl was there. She nodded her head. She sighed before she looked at her friend. "I told him he wasn't being fair. That's what we argued about." She figured that Betsy was probably curious and River felt comfortable enough with the other to tell her.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Of course he is." Alyssa laughed. It was almost ridiculous, that was why it was so funny. She liked that Lucy seemed to agree with her. She shrugged her shoulders, "I dunno. I don't think you can exactly blame Scott for that. She makes her own decisions."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb beamed at Johnny and nodded his head, "I'll take it!" He laughed. His friend always did have the best ways of lifting his spirits. Not for the first time, Caleb was so grateful that he had met Johnny.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott shrugged his shoulders. "Nah, I know, but I knew she was upset. I probably should've checked where she was going or whatever." He felt bad about that, he truly did. "I know. It's fucking bullshit. Like I'd made her do something she didn't wanna do or whatever. Started telling me how I was treating her wasn't fair." He shook his head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy laughed, shaking her head. "Wish I'd come with you." She joked, pulling over one of the blankets to drape across their legs. She genuinely wasn't going to ask River what they'd argued about it, but she was glad she felt comfortable enough to tell her. "Good for you." She nodded her head. She was proud of her for telling him that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No, I know - I'm not saying he's to blame for her taking a walk at stupid o'clock. I'm just saying - it makes sense that his name is involved in there somewhere." Lucy shrugged her shoulders. If there was trouble, she thought you could usually find out that Scott was involved somehow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, getting himself comfortable. He was so glad to have Caleb in his life, especially at times like this and he knew they would be okay as long as they had each other. "Night, mate." He smiled.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie shook her head, "She told you that she was going to share with Betsy, no? How were you to know that she wasn't going to do that?" She didn't like that Scott was blaming himself. She genuinely didn't think that he had done anything wrong. "Second to who though? And like - if she didn't like it, why was she in here with you in the first fucking place." Hettie rolled her eyes. Sometimes, she was defend Scott even when he probably shouldn't be defended.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River laughed, "It would've been much more fun if you had." She pulled the blanket tighter around herself. She was both exhausted and wide awake all at the same time. She shrugged her shoulders as she heard her friend. "I dunno. I think I just made an idiot out of myself." She had really tried but she was hurt and she didn't think that she had gotten her points across as well as she could've.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. She knew that people tended to think the worst of Scott but she didn't know if she completely agreed. She didn't like his attitude sometimes but she thought that he was better than he made himself out to be. "I just don't get why she'd have left at that time, you know? Obviously I'm glad that she's okay but that seems a little ridiculous to me."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: He was basically already asleep when h e heard his friends voice. "Night." Caleb replied sleepily. He knew that he would definitely get at least another couple of hours and then he would feel a little more human.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: The sunlight flooding into the tent woke Scott and he opened his eyes slowly, groaning ever so slightly. He already felt a lot more human that he had the night before and when he checked his phone, it told him it was only half ten - he'd had about four hours extra sleep and he felt a lot better for it. He stretched, yawning as he sat up slowly. He wondered what it was like outside of the compartment, what peoples attitudes towards him were. He actually felt a little worried, for once.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy had fallen asleep where she sat, in the middle of the tent - but she'd been awake for a good hour or so, been woken up by the sun rising and she'd already used the showers and gotten dressed. She was just waiting for the others to wake up now, but she was sat out in one of the chairs in the sun, on her phone.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey had absolutely needed the extra few hours sleep; she had never been the kind of person that could function much on a couple of hours, so she was glad they'd gone back to bed. She forgot where she was for a second when she woke up, taking in the outline of the tent and the person next to her. She couldn't hear much movement, so she assumed it was still pretty early, which was good.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth had completely slept through - he hadn't woken up even once, he'd been so tired. He was wrapped in his sleeping bag, cosy as ever, but he started to wake up when he heard a shift in one of the other compartments. He scrunched his eyes shut at how bright it was, reaching for his phone. He thought half ten was a pretty good time to be waking up. He yawned and got up, poking his head out of the tent to find Alyssa. "Morning." He smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Once Lucy had woken up, she'd known there was no getting back to sleep, so she'd been up and dressed for quite a while now. She'd been for a walk around, not wanting to sit in the tent all morning and she'd made herself a cup of tea with the travel kettle. She was sitting outside with Betsy when everybody started to wake up.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny let out a too-loud yawn as he woke up, rolling over and wrapping his arms around Caleb tightly. "Morning, gorgeous." He chuckled, shaking him annoyingly to wake him up. He was excited for the day ahead - especially after what had happened with he and Hettie, although he had no idea she'd spent the night next to Scott.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie was still asleep, until she felt stirring from besides her. She had, had a good night with Johnny but since River had gone missing, Scott had been her priority. It was why she had found herself next to him the next morning. She sighed "What time is it?" Though she felt a little more awake, she knew she could do with some more sleep. If she was going to get it or not was another question entirely.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Like Betsy, River had fallen asleep where she was sat. She couldn't remember when she had drifted off but she woke with a bit of a start. She looked around herself for a second, almost forgetting where she was and what had happened. She sighed as she remembered though. She stood up with a sigh and made her way outside, figuring that, that was where Betsy had gone. "Morning." She muttered to the two girls out there.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Ashton was still sound asleep as people started moving around him. He had definitely needed a few more hours and he still needed some more now. Barely even realised that Audrey was awake next to him.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: As she had though, Alyssa hadn't gone back to sleep. She had always been a bit of an early riser and after the events of the night before, she just knew there was no getting to sleep. She felt content though, sat outside with Betsy and Lucy and watching the sun come up. She shot River a smile as she came out. "Morning." She said to Seth, "Did you sleep well?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: When Isaac eventually woke up, he was surprised not to find Lucy next to him. He sat up for a moment, looking around before he decided to get up. He got changed quickly and headed outside. "Everything okay?" He muttered as he sat down next to Lucy. He had no idea that he had missed so much drama.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb sighed as Johnny started shaking him, "Good morning, handsome." He muttered with a laugh. Though Caleb had definitely needed the last few hours of sleep and he was looking forward to the day. He was sure that he and Johnny could come up with something to make it fun.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Half ten." Scott answered, yawning again as he came to terms with being awake. He knew he was probably ready to get up now and he started to get changed, not really bothered that Hettie was there. "I'm fucking starving." He laughed, shaking his head. He was ready for the day to begin, although he worried about what it would bring.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Morning." Betsy smiled as River came outside - she was glad to see that she seemed okay, or at least better than last night. She hoped they could all just move on with their day and not dwell on what had happened last night.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey turned to face Ashton, realising that he was still fast asleep. She smiled and sat up, grabbing her stuff and stepping out of their compartment, trying not to wake him. She was too restless to wait until he got up and she wanted to get changed and brush her teeth. She quickly changed and grabbed her toothbrush, walking past the others on her way to the toilets. "Morning," she called sleepily, waving at them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth nodded his head contentedly in response to the question, a big smile on his face. "The best. I didn't even have any dreams. Just sleep." He laughed, scratching his head. "I need to brush my teeth." He shook his head, still slightly disorientated. "Then we'll go to the shops?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Morning." Lucy smiled as she saw Isaac coming over, unable to help laughing slightly at his question. "Everything's okay - you missed quite a lot last night, though. Well, we both did. River went for a walk and everybody went out to find her. I only woke up when they came back." She chuckled, shaking her head. "But on the plus side, we know that the earplugs work!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's getting up time!" Johnny laughed. He was always a morning person, full of beans and he was excited to get up and get going. He jumped out of the compartment and started to get changed, yawning loudly. "I'm hungry, are you hungry?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "Fucking hell.." Hettie muttered with a shake of her head. Though she knew she wasn't going to go back to sleep now, she wished that she could. She had only had five or six hours asleep. She got up and put on her dressing gown, "Lets go and get you some food, then?" She smiled at him. She didn't feel bad for what had happened with johnny and then sharing with Scott. It was just how it had ended up.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River didn't know how she was going to be when she saw Scott. There was a lot that she still wanted to say to him but she didn't want to in case she made an idiot out of herself again. Really, she just wanted to be able to go home. "How long ago was the kettle boiled?"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa smiled and nodded her head, "That's the best kind of sleep." She laughed. She knew that they had to talk about what happened the night before but she didn't think that she was going to be the one to bring it up. She wanted to see what Scott had to say about it all first. "Alright - sounds good. I'll get everyone to put a list together of what they want."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaacs eyes went wide as Lucy explained what had happened. He had, had no idea. "Why didn't someone wake us?" He asked with a laugh. He shook his head. He couldn't believe that he had missed all of that. "But yeah - I guess that was definitely a test for them.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb laughed but he got up anyway. He quickly got changed before he turned to face Johnny, "Actually, now that you mention it, yeah. I'm bloody starving." He laughed. He wished that they could do some big fry up or something but he knew that, that would be impossible out here.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott knew that he would probably end up dozing at some point in the day - five hours wasn't exactly enough sleep, but he was up now and there wasn't much point in staying in the tent, he thought. "M'going to get a shower." He muttered, heading off in the direction of the cubicles. He would feel better after that, he was sure.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey had a quick shower and got back into her clothes, feeling ten times more human afterwards. She brushed her teeth and got out quickly, not wanting to take up too much time so the others couldn't use it. She smiled as she saw Hettie was up, heading over to her. "Do you wanna drive and pick some breakfast up for everyone? I saw a McDonalds on the way in." She shrugged her shoulders. Mostly, she wanted to catch up on what happened last night.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "About five minutes? You might need to boil it again." Betsy looked over at the kettle, nursing her cup of tea in her hand. She wondered how people would be with each other today, what kind of tensions there would be. She hoped that they could get over it quickly, either way.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It was great, honestly." Seth chuckled. "Yeah, perfect - I think we went through most of the snacks and the alcohol last night." He laughed, raising an eyebrow. He didn't think it was a big deal, not when they could just drive to the shops and get more.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I guess they didn't think to - and I didn't want to wake you up when I got up, you looked really peaceful." Lucy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She had thought about waking him, but she hadn't seen the point. She thought at least one of them might as well get a full nights sleep. "And they passed with flying colours, yeah?" She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, shaking his head. "Glad it's not just me. I need some real food man, my tummy feels hollow." He laughed. Climbing out of the tent, he saw Hettie and Scott together - he couldn't help but feel disappointed. They had slept together, but then she'd spent the night with Scott? It felt like he was being shoved to the side, a little bit.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie nodded as she heard Scott. She smiled though, as Audrey came towards her. She definitely wanted to hear how things had gone with Ashton the night before and Hettie thought that she had a little bit to share with Audrey too. "You read my mind, honestly." Hettie laughed as she nodded her head. "I'll just grab a quick shower and we can head off?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a smile.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River nodded as she listened to Betsy and flicked the kettle on. "Does anyone else want one?" She looked at the others. She had no idea if people were mad at her or not but she was trying to ignore that. She really wanted to talk everything through with someone, properly but she also didn't want to annoy anything with it either.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Alyssa smiled as she nodded her head. She was glad that at least one of them had, had a decent nights sleep. "Of course we did." She laughed. SHe wasn't surprised that the snacks were all gone with how much the boys were smoking. Though she kept that one to herself. She didn't want to start the fight all over again.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I did? Well thank you, I slept wonderfully." Isaac nodded his head with a laugh. He had wished that he had been a part of what had happened the night before but he wasn't about to say that, not to Lucy. He could keep that to himself. "Definitely. A* and everything!"
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb narrowed his eyes as he saw Scott and Hettie together, "What the fuck?" He muttered to his friend. It seemed like everything the two girls did, was done to piss he and johnny off. "Did I just hear McDonalds?" He called over to Audrey and Hettie as he nudged Johnny. "Sounds like we're gonna get some proper food!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I do try." Audrey giggled, shrugging her shoulders. She was hungry and she didn't want more barbecue food, she wanted something they could eat then and there - and she was a little bit hungover and McDonalds always seemed to help. "Okay, sweet. I'll get my stuff and get the car started." She smiled as she heard Caleb calling over - she really hoped he wasn't mad at her, she had never intended to hurt him. "Of course - we're providing for the masses! Do you want something?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I've already got one - thanks, though." Betsy smiled, taking a drag on the cigarette in her hand. She wasn't mad at River at all and she hoped nobody else was, since she'd obviously been struggling last night. "Oh my god, are they going to McDonalds? Amazing. I want something too!" She called over, laughing.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed as he heard that the girls were heading to McDonalds. "I guess we don't have to worry about breakfast, then?" He smiled. He would be glad for some hot food, to be honest - he really was starving. "Okay, back in two." He smiled, going to grab his toothbrush from the tent and running over to the toilets. He would feel better after a wash, he knew that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm glad to hear it." Lucy chuckled, nodding her head. She saw no reason why he shouldn't have a good sleep, just because the others hadn't. She laughed at his review. "I totally agree." She smiled. "I'll have a tea, please River." She nodded her head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Fuck knows." Johnny shook his head with a sigh. He really didn't know what to do here - it felt like they took two steps forward, one step back and he didn't know what he was supposed to feel. "Oh, thank god for that! I want so much food, man."
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Hettie grabbed some clothes and headed to the cubicles. She didn't even think that Johnny would be annoyed that she had shared with Scott. As far as she was aware, her friend had needed her and she didn't think that it was a bad thing to be there for him. She quickly got showered, put a little bit of make up on and then headed back out. "Okay - ready to go!" She called over to Audrey. She knew that they were going to have to get a lot of food for everyone.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: River nodded in response to Lucy, sorting herself and Lucy a cup of tea. She wasn't really in the mood for talking, which was definitely unlike her. "Could you make sure that you get a couple of bits for me and Lucy, please?" She asked. She always had to make sure that people remembered she didn't eat meat, she thought the same could be said for Lucy.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: "I guess not." Alyssa laughed with a nod of her head. She had been up so early that she had already showered and gotten ready for the day. "We're going to the shop in a minute, do you girls need anything?" She asked her friends. She was sure they'd get loads of random bits but she wanted to make sure they got the other three specifics, if they needed them.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Isaac chuckled. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty that other people had clearly not and he had been fine. He wished that he could've been able to help a little more. Isaac smiled at Lucy. Even now, he thought she was the prettiest one there.
HD CK AM AK RW IS: Caleb shrugged his shoulders. He didn't really have any advice for his friend either. If he did, he would use it for himself, "Basically two of everything on the menu." Caleb laughed as he looked to Johnny, almost to try and get his friend to back him up.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey had a lot she needed to speak to Hettie about and she thought it would probably be the same vice versa, so she was excited just to spend some time with her friend. "Got it!" She laughed at Caleb's order, nodding her head. "Okay! We're going to McDonalds, does everybody just wanna text us with whatever they want or I won't remember it." She laughed, shaking her head. She climbed into the drivers seat with a smile, waiting for Hettie to join her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott didn't take too long in the shower, but when he was done and dressed he didn't really know who or where to go to. He knew Hettie and Audrey would want to talk, so he couldn't exactly go with them. He shrugged his shoulders and went to sit on the entrance of the tent, on his own.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy smiled as River spoke - she was glad the other had thought to say something, because she hadn't. "Actually yeah, I don't want McDonalds for breakfast really, could you get me some fruit or something?" She asked Alyssa with a smile. She felt pretty relaxed this morning and she hoped the others did too.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth didn't take too long, because because he was excited to spend the morning with just Alyssa - even if it was shopping for the rest of them. "Okay, I'm ready!" He smiled, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, nodding his head. "And the same for me!" He was joking, he would text Audrey what he wanted in a second but he was glad that somebody was thinking to go out and get them food.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie didn't like Scott sitting on his own. She didn't like people thinking that he was the villain but she knew that she couldn't say anything, that would just make things worse. She just hoped that Ashton would be awake soon. She knew that it wouldn't matter once he was. Hettie smiled as she got into the car. "Okay, so it looks like your conversation with Ashton went well?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton woke up, just as the girls were getting ready to go. He sighed as he heard the cars and got up. He got dressed, slowly before he went outside. He yawned as he sat down, next to Scott. "Morning." He muttered with a sigh. He already had a banging head ache but, since everyone else was awake, he figured that he should be too.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River was never going to turn down Mcdonalds. She looked to Betsy then, "Can we go for a walk later on?" She asked her. She really wanted to get her friends opinion, when they had all had some sleep. She wanted to see what Betsy would've done differently. River was sure that Betsy would've been able to handle a situation like that, no problem.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac smiled slightly as he heard Audrey. "You don't mind if I get something with meat in it, right?" He had been eating it the night before and he hadn't even thought to ask her if she minded. He made sure that it was different today.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa liked that he seemed to have pretty much forgotten the debate the two of them had, had the night before. She was definitely glad to just get on with the day. "Yeah, me and Seth are going to the supermarket. Refresh on booze and food. So text us what you want too." She smiled as she looked around at the others and nodded at Lucy, "Of course I will."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb laughed with Johnny. Though he knew they were both joking, Caleb knew that he would probably get a lot of food. he was definitely in the mood for a little bit of a feast, that was for sure.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey honestly didn't even notice that Scott was on his own - she was pretty impartial to the guy. No strong feelings either way. She laughed as Hettie spoke, starting to drive the way they'd came - she wasn't sure how far the McDonalds was but she was sure it had been pretty close. "I guess you could say that." She laughed, nodding her head. "It actually kind of started out as a bit of an argument but obviously... ended better." She giggled, making a turn.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott turned as he heard somebody sitting down next to him, smiling slightly as he saw who it was. Hettie and Ashton were two of the only people he could have a conversation with here - he would've counted River, before last night. "Morning." He replied. "Bad head?" He guessed he must be at least a bit hungover, waking up later than the rest of them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, 'course we can. You okay?" Betsy smiled, raising an eyebrow. She found it almost funny that she was the one River wanted to talk to; she never made female friends and she was usually terrible at any kind of girl talk, but she would always do her best if somebody wanted to confide in her. She pulled out her phone to text Audrey what she wanted.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy couldn't help but smile; she thought it was so sweet how Isaac would even ask that. He was like nobody she'd ever met before and he really seemed to care. "No, go for your life - you can do what you want, as long as you don't expect me to eat it." She laughed. She didn't really mind what anybody else did, she just wouldn't eat it herself. "Thanks, Lyss." She smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We'll just get a load of basics and if anybody wants anything special then let us know." Seth smiled, nodding his head. It wasn't that he had completely forgotten what had happened last night, it was just that they seemed to be over it and he was sure it had just been a misunderstanding. He wanted to enjoy the day with her, not rehash everything that had happened. "Let's go." He smiled, beginning to walk over to the car.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny didn't actually realise how much food he was asking for until he looked at the list he'd text and it made him laugh. "I know we were joking about the menu, but I've definitely ordered like half." He chuckled, showing his friend his phone. "Anyway - how're you feeling this morning?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey honestly didn't even notice that Scott was on his own - she was pretty impartial to the guy. No strong feelings either way. She laughed as Hettie spoke, starting to drive the way they'd came - she wasn't sure how far the McDonalds was but she was sure it had been pretty close. "I guess you could say that." She laughed, nodding her head. "It actually kind of started out as a bit of an argument but obviously... ended better." She giggled, making a turn.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott turned as he heard somebody sitting down next to him, smiling slightly as he saw who it was. Hettie and Ashton were two of the only people he could have a conversation with here - he would've counted River, before last night. "Morning." He replied. "Bad head?" He guessed he must be at least a bit hungover, waking up later than the rest of them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, 'course we can. You okay?" Betsy smiled, raising an eyebrow. She found it almost funny that she was the one River wanted to talk to; she never made female friends and she was usually terrible at any kind of girl talk, but she would always do her best if somebody wanted to confide in her. She pulled out her phone to text Audrey what she wanted.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy couldn't help but smile; she thought it was so sweet how Isaac would even ask that. He was like nobody she'd ever met before and he really seemed to care. "No, go for your life - you can do what you want, as long as you don't expect me to eat it." She laughed. She didn't really mind what anybody else did, she just wouldn't eat it herself. "Thanks, Lyss." She smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We'll just get a load of basics and if anybody wants anything special then let us know." Seth smiled, nodding his head. It wasn't that he had completely forgotten what had happened last night, it was just that they seemed to be over it and he was sure it had just been a misunderstanding.

"I know we were joking about the menu, but I've definitely ordered like half." He chuckled, showing his friend his phone. "Anyway - how're you feeling this morning?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie knew that people didn't like Scott but she was absolutely convinced that, that was because they hadn't bothered to get to know him. "An argument?" Hettie asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "It definitely didn't sound like an argument. What happened?" She asked her friend. She needed to know everything, from the beginning. Hettie had always been nosey, it was why she wanted to know what the fight had been about straight away. Not that Scott had given her much to go on.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton nodded, "How'd you guess?" He muttered, barely even able to chuckle. His head was pounding. Ashton had never been able to handle his drink very well when it came to the mornings. "You feeling better this morning?" He asked. He thought that his friend was feeling pretty rough earlier and, even though he wouldn't usually, he wanted to check in.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Yeah, I just need to get some stuff out of my head and, I dunno - I think you're one of the only people that will give me a straight answer." River laughed. She liked Betsy a lot. She was definitely someone that River could see herself being friends with, outside of the musical. She saw a lot in the other that she admired.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac laughed as he nodded his head slightly, "Now you're just giving me the go ahead to get all cave man." He shook his head, instantly regretting his attempt at a joke. Isaac really liked Lucy and while he wished he could get up the courage to ask her out, he knew that he was content with just being her friend.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa had been so prepared to explain everything. She had been so ready to get him to see where she was coming from. Her ex would've kept at it until he figured it all out. She liked that Seth seemed to be different. She liked that he was able to just let things go. She smiled as she climbed into the car. "I already can't wait for it to be just you and me." She laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Mate, same." Caleb laughed, showing his friend the text he had just set to Audrey. he was so hungry. He was pretty sure that a lot of it had to do with how much weed he and Johnny had, had the night before. "I'm alright." He shrugged his shoulders, "Not like Audrey and I made any plans, is it?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey liked that Hettie was so invested in knowing what happened, because she was the same when it came to Hettie's situation. "I basically just asked if we could talk because it was weird and he said it was weird because I'd accused him of all this stuff, so we got into essentially the same argument as before - but then he said he didn't want to hurt me, so... That was all I needed him to say, right?" She shrugged her shoulders. It was that simple, it was all she'd needed to hear. "And then, well - you know the rest." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She was happy with whatever they had for now and she'd had fun.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You look like the walking dead, mate. How much did you drink?" Scott laughed, raising an eyebrow. He'd had quite a lot himself, but he was pretty good with hangovers and the shower had zapped the worst part right out of him. "Yeah, m'fine. She's back, isn't she? And safe, so. All good." He knew there was a lot more to it than that, but he didn't want to discuss that part. He would talk to River later, then he would know where his head was at.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy laughed, nodding her head. "Yeah, I'll try my best." She promised. She was always honest with her friends, even if they didn't want to hear it and it wouldn't be different with River. "How do you feel, anyway? Better?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. She thought she seemed better than she had last night, anyway.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Cave man? I mean - if that's what you wanna do, then go for it." Lucy laughed. She liked that he seemed more confident and comfortable around her than he had at the beginning. "No, I don't really care if other people eat meat or whatever they want to do. I can't stop them." She laughed, shaking her head. She liked that River didn't eat meat either though, so she didn't feel like the only odd one out.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled, nodding his head. "Me too - that's why I wanted to go early." He admitted with a chuckle. He loved being around all of his friends, but it was nice just to get a little bit of one on one time. "Well - you, me and a hundred other shoppers." He chuckled, starting to drive. "Can you get the maps up on your phone?" He definitely didn't want to get them lost.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed as he saw Caleb's order, shaking his head. "I guess not - still feels a bit shit though, doesn't it?" He shrugged his shoulders. He knew that nobody had meant to make them feel like this, but he did. It was how he felt with Hettie - no matter how much progress they made, she would always pick Scott.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie could definitely see the situation she and Audrey were in were similar and she didn't think that either of them were doing anything that was really wrong. She shrugged her shoulders slightly as Audrey said she didn't need to hear anything else. "Not wanting to hurt you and actually saying that he won't, is two different things." Of course Hettie didn't think that someone cheating made them a bad person, if that was the case, she wouldn't be friends with Scott. She just really didn't want Audrey getting into something that would hurt her. "Yeah, I do. And it sounded like you were enjoying yourself a lot."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Wow - that's the confidence boost of the century." Ashton laughed and shook his head, "I dunno. I think it was the mixing of drinks that killed me off though. Wine and beer don't exactly mix, do they?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Ashton nodded. He wasn't about to tell Scott how he should or shouldn't feel, after all. He was sure his friend knew he was there if he wanted to talk about it, though.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River smiled slightly, "Do you just wanna go for a walk now?" She asked, since River didn't think she could answer the question without getting into it all and she didn't want to while Scott sat just a little ways away. She wanted Betsy opinion on it all because she respected her and trusted that she would give her the best advise.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Maybe, who knows. Though that might require growing a beard and I don't think I can do that.." Isaac shook his head. He felt like he was making himself seem more and more stupid but he was really trying. He liked that she laughed along with him, though. "That makes sense. And good to know."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "You wanted me all to yourself super early? That's cute." Alyssa smiled. Seth had surprised her when they first met. She had definitely never expected to like him as much as she did and she liked that so much. She didn't think she had never connected to someone as well as she did with Seth. "As long as we're together... it'll feel like just the two of us." She laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb nodded, "Yeah, definitely fucking does." He sighed. Caleb wished that he could just brush it off and he was definitely going to pretend like he didn't mind, to anyone other than Johnny. If anyone knew what he was thinking, it was his best friend. "Must feel fucking worse for you though."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey paused slightly as Hettie spoke - she hadn't really thought of it like that. "No, but - I mean... Not wanting to is - the same, right?" She asked, looking over to the other girl worriedly. The ease she'd felt the night before had slightly dissipated now and she didn't want to second guess this all over again. She didn't want to judge Ashton before he'd even done anything, but she also didn't want to wait until he did and then deal with the consequences. She had to laugh, though. "I guess you could say that. And I could say the same for you?" She smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I can't lie to you, you look terrible." Scott laughed. He was joking, mostly, but he did think his friends looked pretty hungover. "Nah, mixing's never a good idea - that's why I stick to vodka and I feel fine." He laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "I think the shower helped though, they aren't actually as bad as I thought they'd be." He wanted the girls to come back, if he was honest. He felt better around Hettie.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah, sure. Let's go." She nodded her head. She thought it made sense to get it out of the way while everybody seemed to be pretty distracted, getting food and whatnot. "Not too far away though, we don't want to get lost again." She laughed, nudging the girl gently. She got up and started to walk, slowly as she waited for River to join her. She wondered, not for the first time, what today would bring.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Please don't grow a beard, I'm begging you." Lucy laughed, shaking her head. She had thought Isaac was pretty awkward when they'd first met, but he seemed to be a lot more open now and she liked that he seemed to be growing around all of them. "You learn something new every day, right?" She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I am cute." Seth joked, laughing softly. He had never imagined that they would end up as anything more than friends, even after that first party - but he was so glad that they were making progress, that they were actually doing something about the way they felt for each other. "Aw, now who's being cute?" He laughed. "How do you feel this morning? Hungover?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny was never going to tell anybody else how his best friend felt; he wasn't a gossip and he knew that Caleb wouldn't exactly want people talking about it, just like he wouldn't want people talking about his business. He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't even know what happened, man. It's like, fucking - I can do anything, but he's always gonna be there isn't he." He raised an eyebrow.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie shrugged her shoulders, "That's a question for you, not me. I wouldn't be happy if that was their answer but then, I wouldn't ask it, either." Hettie didn't want to know what - whoever she was with, thought they were capable off. She was very happy with living in the moment. She didn't need anything else. "Okay, yes. I did but don't you think it's strange how you can be with two people sexually and they're just as good as one another but in like, completely different ways?" She looked to Audrey. She liked that she could talk about all of this with her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Aye, that's exactly what I wanted to hear when I just slept next to a beautiful girl." Ashton shook his head. Though he didn't know if Audrey had taken much notice and he didn't really care that she was gone before he had woken up. "You are a smarter man than I." Ashton laughed with a nod of his head. He knew he should've stuck to the one drink but he couldn't help himself.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River laughed, "Its light, I could absolutely make my way home all on my own now." Though she knew that she wouldn't be going off in the woods on her own in a hurry. She quickly caught up with Betsy. She sighed before she shrugged. "I dunno. It feels weird. And I don't think I really articulated myself very well last night." She was sure that the alcohol hadn't helped with that one.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "You don't think it would suit me?" Isaac knew that he had this side within him, it was just that most people didn't get in deep enough to realise it. He was glad that Lucy had stuck around. "That you do."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That's true." Alyssa spoke with a nod of her head. She had always thought that Seth was attractive but she had never thought that something would've come from that. She was glad that it had though. She was really enjoying herself around him. "Shut up." Alyssa rolled her eyes with a laugh. She felt so at ease with Seth. It was definitely a change and she liked that. "I'm actually okay. I have a bit of a headache but I think that is more to do with lack of sleep, than hangover."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb trusted Johnny more than anyone and he was pretty sure that it was the same vice versa. He couldn't believe that he had only known the other for a few months. It was mad to him. "They've got a lot of history, right?" Caleb figured that, that was where he fared better. There wasn't any pre existing history he had to compete with, with Ashton. "Guess you've gotta figure out if she's worth the hassle?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey shrugged her shoulders. "For now, I think it's enough." She told Hettie softly. She knew that Hettie wouldn't judge her and that was why she felt so comfortable talking to her. If anything more was to come of her and Ashton, she knew they'd need revisit the conversation - but for now, it was enough. She laughed at Hettie's next statement, but she nodded her head. She knew exactly how she felt. "Definitely, it's really crazy, isn't it? I don't know, it's like you think one of them has the edge and then the other pulls it out of the bag." She laughed, shaking her head as she looked at the other girl.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'll lie to you next time, make you feel better." Scott laughed, shaking his head. "Things seemed to be looking up last night, then?" He chuckled, looking to his friend. Last he'd heard, they hadn't even been talking and then he'd seen them coming out of the tent last night. "I think that's the first time anybody's called me smart." He grinned, rolling his eyes. He knew he probably needed to talk to River, but he wanted to wait until Hettie was back. She would tell him when the time was right.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I trust you." Betsy laughed, wrapping her arms around herself as they walked. She was tired, but not in a sleepy way - more in a way that she could definitely spend the rest of the day lying around and chilling out. She knew everybody would probably end up napping before the night time. "I mean, I guess it will feel weird... You've never argued before." She shrugged her shoulders. "What do you mean? What actually happened?" She felt like she would actually need to know that before she gave any advice.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I think maybe you're too young for the beard growing stage yet." Lucy laughed, raising an eyebrow. She always forgot that Isaac was a little bit younger than her; he seemed more mature than quite a few of the people who were already eighteen.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth knew that Alyssa had to be aware of how much he liked her, but he liked that - he didn't want there to be secrets between them, not when it came to their feelings. Because that had messed them up so badly before. "Have you had any shopping requests yet?" He chuckled, nodding as she said she had a headache. "There's some paracetamol in the glove box if you want some." He smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny nodded his head. "Yeah and that's fine. I just wish she'd tell me." He shrugged his shoulders. "And I dunno, it feels like a bit of a double standard sometimes. Like I'd be fucking strung up for doing any of this." He raised an eyebrow. He could only imagine Hettie's reaction if they'd slept together and then he'd spent the night sleeping next to a girl he had feelings for. "It's not about that, it's about whether or not anything's even gonna happen." He shook his head.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Then if you think it's alright, doesn't matter what else anyone else says." Hettie shrugged her shoulders. She didn't think that she would be able to deal with it but that was her. And she and Audrey were very different people. That was why she was kind of surprised at how well the two of them got on. "That's exactly it!" Hettie laughed with a nod of her head. "Johnny was [I]very[/I] good though. Like I definitely very please." She laughed. She had enjoyed her night so much with Johnny and she was kind of disappointed not to have ended it with him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton nodded his head, "that sounds like a better plant me." He smiled. Ashton shrugged as Johnny clearly referred to his time with Audrey, "It was fucking wild man. But yeah, it was good. Really good." He laughed as he nodded again. He really liked Audrey but he didn't think he wanted to say that right now. He wanted to see how things with her and Caleb went first.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River knew that had to explain to Betsy. "So we decided to share, we started kissing and - I dunno. I think you got into my head so I asked him if he would be with Hettie right now. He said that he didn't know but - I dunno. I just continued. I told him that I didn't want to be a second choice, that, that wasn't fair on me. I told him that he needed to sort out whatever he had going on with her because it was messing with people now - I was mostly talking about Johnny though." She really didn't want to see him get hurt. "But I also told him that I liked him. And he was like 'we both knew what this was'. Which is bullshit."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Too young? Wow, okay." Isaac nodded his head slightly. He hadn't really thought about the fact that he was younger than most of them there... but it was only by a year and he didn't think that he acted younger. He wondered if that was a problem for Lucy. He hoped not.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa knew that she had to be honest about her past with Seth, sooner rather than later. And she thought that now was maybe a good time, while he was busy driving and she could just get it all out. "Er--" She looked down at her phone, "Hettie asked for some fruit juice but that's it." She muttered. She shook her head then, "I think I'm good. But thank you, though."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "She definitely would." Caleb nodded. He definitely knew that Hettie wouldn't be happy if Johnny slept next to someone that he liked. "You don't think that it will?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Because Caleb didn't see why he would keep going back to Hettie if he didn't think that she was going to come through with something eventually.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Then you have my word." Scott laughed, raising an eyebrow. Now that he knew both Hettie and Ashton were okay with him, he wasn't really bothered about any of the others but River. He liked having a small group of friends, it meant he could trust them. "Fucking tell me about it, last thing I saw was you guys arguing." He laughed. He didn't really care what was going on, he thought that was his friends business. "I hope they hurry up with the food, I'm fucking starving." He half wished that he'd gone for the drive, but he could tell the girls wanted to talk to each other.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy listened thoughtfully, sighing as River said they'd kissed. "But then why did you go into the tent with him? If all that stuff was on your mind, why would you go into the tent?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. She wasn't having a go - or, she wasn't trying to anyway, but she could kind of see why Scott would think River was okay with it if she was just following him all the time. She didn't think he was in the right, not at all, but she was going to have to give her honest opinion.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "For a beard." Lucy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She didn't think it was a massive deal that Isaac was a year younger - he seemed a lot older to her anyway, older than even she was. She was often surprised that a lot of the people here were eighteen or older.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth nodded his head. "An easy list, then." He chuckled. "I have a text from Johnny asking for the same thing." He smiled. He liked being the one to get up and do the shopping, it felt better than being laid in the tent hungover all morning - he wasn't hungover at all, really. Just still a little bit tired. "No problem." He smiled, reaching over to squeeze her hand gently.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny shrugged his shoulders. "Sometimes I do, yeah. But I don't know, don't you think it just seems a bit off? If everytime something happens she's going to go to him?" He was only admitting this to Caleb because he was his best friend, he wouldn't say it to anybody else, but it was definitely stuff he thought quite often when it came to Hettie.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: This was probably why they got along. They could share but they also knew that their business was their business. Hettie laughed at Audreys question, "Like I said, they're both good. Just in very different ways." She definitely think that she had a preference between Scott and Johnny. They both Brough out different sides of her and she liked both of those sides. "What about you? Caleb or Ashton, huh?" She was pretty sure she could already guess that answer but she was definitely intrigued as to who Audrey would say.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton smiled and nodded his head. He had a lot of friends but there were only a few that he was really close too. Scott, he thought, was definitely one of those people. He liked that he had found someone like Scott through the musical and was definitely glad that he had decided to join this. "And that's all I thought it would be." He laughed as he shook his head. Ashton chuckled. "You and me both. Hopefully they're on the way back now."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River sighed at Betsys question because, really, she didn't know the answer. "I wanted it, I wanted him." She sighed. "And then I guess, I needed to know what he actually though, you know? I don't understand why changing my mind about something is such a big deal?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "I decided I wanted to know all the answers when, before, I thought that I wanted to be oblivious."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac nodded his head as Lucy spoke, "Okay. That's good to know. I'll keep it in mind" He laughed. Isaac really wanted to know what it was that Lucy thought of him. "What do you think we'll end up doing today?" He asked her with a small smile.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: “Yeah, but we’ll get loads of bits anyway?” She had no idea if everyone had heard what they wanted from the store so she wanted to make sure she got plenty. “Can we talk later?” She asked him. “I mean - I just think I need to explain some stuff about why I said what I did yesterday” she hoped that he wouldn’t mind and that he’d at least listen to her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb shrugged, “I dunno. I don’t know how much last night would really reflect how she would be, you know?” He asked with a rise of an eyebrow. He thought that Scott probably needed a friend and it wasn’t like many other people knew him jere.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That is such a cop out of an answer." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She hadn't really expected an answer though, because she didn't even think Hettie knew herself. "I'll rephrase - do you think you'll be staying with Johnny again tonight?" She smiled. She laughed as the question was turned back on her, shaking her head. "Both are good - and different, obviously. I don't know - it's just a bit different with Ashton, I guess. So him. But Caleb's a lot of fun." She laughed. She assumed that's all it had been for Caleb, too.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That is such a cop out of an answer." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She hadn't really expected an answer though, because she didn't even think Hettie knew herself. "I'll rephrase - do you think you'll be staying with Johnny again tonight?" She smiled. She laughed as the question was turned back on her, shaking her head. "Both are good - and different, obviously. I don't know - it's just a bit different with Ashton, I guess. So him. But Caleb's a lot of fun." She laughed. She assumed that's all it had been for Caleb, too.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head; the girls had been gone for quite a while, so he hoped they'd be back pretty soon. He had really only agreed to do the musical because of Hettie, but since then he'd ended up auditioning for the next one with her support, so he guessed he must be enjoying it more than he said he was. "Let's hope nobody goes fucking missing tonight." He raised an eyebrow. He was sure they'd all sleep better tonight than they had last night, anyway.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm not saying you can't change your mind about something, but you have to see how it could look a bit weird to him. You know, to seem totally fine with something and then not only change your mind but come out with all of this stuff. You should've just asked to speak to him before anything happened." Betsy raised an eyebrow. "You know what was going on in your head, but he didn't." She shrugged her shoulders. "You know you have to leave it now, right? If that's how you feel? Good for you for telling him, but now you have to stand by it."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy shook her head - she didn't really know what they were going to be doing today. "I have a feeling that people are going to eat breakfast and then want to go back to sleep for a bit." She laughed. Nobody seemed completely awake yet. "I know the boys wanted to go swimming again, I think?" She shrugged her shoulders. She was happy doing whatever, really.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth nodded his head, a smile on his face. "Yeah, we can stock up on whatever people might need and then they can have their pick." He smiled. They had the whole day ahead after all, he didn't think that a McDonalds would fill everybody up until tea time. He was surprised as Alyssa asked to talk, but he nodded his head. "Yeah, of course - we can talk whenever you want." He told her softly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny nodded his head. "Yeah, you're probably right." He sighed. He just thought she could've at least explained to him - at any point, even this morning. But there had been no explanation. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I want to go swimming again later, though." He laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Alright - fine." Hettie laughed with a shake of her head. "I dunno. It was the only the first time I slept with Johnny. So Scott, but only because he actually knows what I like already." She rolled her eyes. She had, had such a good time with Johnny. "But yes, I think I want to share with Johnny tonight." She laughed. She definitely wanted to spend more time with him later on. "That's what I thought that you would say." Hettie laughed. "Oh look! The maccies!" She pointed towards the drive thru.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton wondered what his friend was thinking, "Yeah. Last night was fucking crazy." He muttered with a shake of his head and a laugh. "You gonna spill what it was all about?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He was definitely curious, he just wanted to know but he wasn't going to push. If he said no now, then Ashton was leave it.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "No, I know. But it's not like I can go back and change it now, is it?" River asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She knew what she should've done but she didn't think that, that was going to help anything now. She needed more practical solutions than what Betsy was currently giving her. "I do. of course I know that." River nodded her head. She wasn't stupid. She knew that she couldn't make a stand like that and not stick to it. "You know what? Lets just head back." She shook her head with a sigh. she didn't know what this was going to do to change anything.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac nodded his head, "That makes sense. Are you going to go back for a nap? I think I've had enough sleep for one day." He laughed as he shook his head slightly. Though Isaac definitely wasn't going to complain about having some alone time. "Again?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He knew he wouldn't join them. "I'm glad I brought my book." He laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa nodded his head, "Yeah, sounds perfect." She smiled at him. She liked that the two of them were on the same page with everything. She didn't know if the camping trip was the right time to tell him everything but she wanted to get it out of her brain. She figured that, that was what was going to show him that why she acted the night before. "It's all good, I promise." She muttered with a nod of her head.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Talk to her when she gets back." Caleb suggested with a shrug of his shoulder. He would definitely be annoyed if he and Audrey and slept together then she spent the night with Ashton. He thought that Johnny deserved an explanation. "I guess so. But yeah, me too."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "See, that's a good answer!" Audrey laughed, nodding her head. She totally got where Hettie was coming from and she liked that she'd answered honestly. She smiled as she said she wanted to share with Johnny - she thought that was nice, it was nice that she was giving him a chance. "Oh, yay!" she laughed, pulling into the drive-thru and rolling down the window. She leaned her head out with a little laugh. "Hi! We've got a pretty big order." She laughed, before pretty much just reeling off the list of what everybody had asked for and adding her own onto the end.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Too fucking crazy." Scott laughed, rolling his eyes. He knew that people were probably curious about why the argument had started, but he didn't think River would want him spreading it everywhere - he trusted Ashton, though. "I think she thought more into it than I did. Got mad at me." He shrugged his shoulders. He'd really had no idea that River felt that way, even if she thought he was lying. He'd thought it was fun for both of them, a warm body when nobody else was there.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I know." Betsy nodded her head. She felt like she'd pissed the other girl off and she hadn't meant to, but she had asked for her honest opinion after all. "Okay, we'll head back." She nodded her head and turned back towards where they'd pitched the tent. She would still be there for her and she hoped she hadn't annoyed her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Lucy shook her head. "No, I'm not much of a napper - I'll probably just chill out here for the time being." She shrugged her shoulders. She was perfectly happy in the sun all day and like Isaac, she would probably fetch her book soon. "I'm the same, I don't think I'll be going in again." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. "What book'd you bring?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Do you wanna just talk about it now?" Seth chuckled softly as he pulled into the car park of the supermarket - a Tesco. He didn't want to push her, but he knew it would be on his mind all day if they waited until later and he didn't want to ruin the day by worrying.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I kind of want her to talk to me, if I'm honest." Johnny laughed, shrugging his shoulders. He would definitely bring it up though, if Hettie did talk to him. He wasn't annoyed, just curious and a little bit confused. "And we should do other stuff - I don't know, like games. Make the most of the sun."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I'm glad that you approve." Hettie laughed. She was sure that she and Scott would always be tied up in one another. Even if they got into relationships with other people, the other would be there. Scott was one of her best friends. No matter what, that wasn't going to change any time soon and if someone told her that she had to drop Scott, then she would drop them. Hettie found it almost too hilarious as Audrey listed off everything that they had.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton nodded his head with a sigh, "Isn't that always the case?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He didn't understand why River would ever think she would be more to Scott. He thought that it was pretty clear that she wasn't ever going to be at his friends level. "How could she think it was anything else? Like you'd actually be interested in her?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River really wasn't annoyed at Betsy but she just didn't see the point in talking about it. River wanted advice about what to say to him if he talked to her later but she didn't think that Betsy would give her it... though she had to at least try, "what do I do if he comes and talks to me? How do I stop myself from being an idiot all over again?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac smiled, "Alright then. Looks like we've got the entire day together." He laughed and he was definitely looking forward to that. He was definitely excited to spend some time with her. "Did you not enjoy it yesterday, then?" He asked as he looked to her. Isaac shrugged his shoulders, "the tattooist of auschwitz"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa raised an eyebrow before she nodded her head. "Yeah. I mean - that makes sense." She didn't want to let things hang over them...she just didn't want to tell him and then he get annoyed at her. "So - the reason that you haven't met my dad yet is because he and my mum have split up." She knew that, that sounded like such a little thing but Alyssa thought that it was huge. She had been so used to everything being perfect, she hated that it wasn't now.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That's definitely a fair point." Caleb was the same. He knew that he shouldn't - and wasn't - getting caught up with it all but he didn't like that Audrey decided to play him for a bit of a fool, or what was how it felt, anyway. "Game ? What kind of games?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey couldn't help but laugh at the amount of things she had to order, especially when it came to Johnny and Caleb's order. She was just glad that most people had transferred her the money, because it came to a lot. "That felt like I was doing some kind of spoken word." She laughed as she pulled up to the next window and swiped her card, pulling up at the third. She thought they'd be waiting a little bit for this amount of food.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Hopefully not tonight, I can't fucking deal with another." Scott laughed, rolling his eyes. He didn't even care if he had to sleep alone tonight, he just wanted to actually sleep. Although he knew he would probably care when it came down to it. He shook his head. "Look, she's a nice girl. I didn't mean to mess her about, but I didn't realise, you know?" He sighed, shaking his head. He really had thought it had been obvious where they were at.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy shrugged her shoulders. "You have to remember what he was like last night, how he made you feel - you don't want to feel like that again, do you?" She raised an eyebrow. "Stick with us, anyway. You don't need to talk to him unless he talks to you." She shrugged her shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That sounds good to me." Lucy smiled. She couldn't think of a more relaxing day than spending it the two of them, probably Seth and Alyssa too when they came back. "I mean, I did - but it was cold and it took me ages to dry off, so I think I'll give it a miss." She laughed. "Oh, I love that book! I read it last month, I want to read the sequel but I haven't gotten around to it yet."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth raised an eyebrow as Alyssa spoke; he didn't think it was a huge deal, but it did seem like one to her and he didn't want to undermine that. "I'm sorry, Lyss... I didn't know." He told her softly, reaching out to take her hand in his. He wondered if there was more, or if that was all she had to tell him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "What about you, you think you're gonna say anything?" Johnny raised an eyebrow. He knew that Caleb's situation probably wasn't as intense as his, but he still didn't like seeing him be a second thought, like he didn't matter. "I dunno, just games! I'll think of some." He laughed. He always had too much energy and he loved competitions and challenges.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That was definitely a test. And pretty impressive." Hettie laughed with a nod of her head. She looked at Audrey with a smile. She was excited about all of this and she was so hungry now. "But we better not take too long because I might eat some of the food that isn't mine. You think that Johnny would forgive me if I stole some of his?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Stop dealing with these messy fucking girls, man." Ashton laughed with a shake of his head. He really didn't understand why Scott gave someone like River the time of day. He thought that she was a pretty weird and he thought Scott would see that too. "I never said she wasn't a nice girl. She's just weird." He laughed. He thought that Scott would see that too.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River nodded her head, "Yeah but like - what can I say? How do I make sense with it all?" She asked. She really just wanted to make sure that he got it. "I'm not going to talk to him. That's why I said if he comes to talk to me first." She wasn't stupid. She knew she couldn't go back on it now.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac smiled slightly. he liked that the other was there with him. He was definitely looking forward to just having a really chill day today. Isaac nodded, "That makes sense. We can just have a chill day?" He asked her, with a small smile. "Then I guess I' have something to look forward to!"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa nodded her head slightly at his apology. It was the first person who, outside of her family, she had said about the divorce. Her parents had been her best friends and things seemed more on her since they had split up. "Before they decided to split though, they were arguing a lot. And then I was having to look after my siblings. My mum wasn't with it, my dad was here and there. I had to make sure that they were at school, that they ate, all the stuff parents were supposed to do." She loved her mum and dad but those times were really hard. "I guess- I mean the reason I took things so personally last thing--" She paused. She hadn't actually said it out loud to someone before. "I started taking my brothers ADHD medicine to get by. Which sounds ridiculous..."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Probably not." Caleb shook his head. "i'm not gonna push the boat. If she wants to talk to me then she can. And it'll be fine." He shrugged his shoulders. It seemed pretty obvious to him. He didn't see the point in making a big deal out of all of it. "You better get that brain working!" Caleb laughed with a nod of his head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "He would definitely forgive you." Audrey laughed, rolling her eyes. She smiled as the food was handed to her, handing it all to Hettie. "Thank you so much!" She called to the woman behind the window, before she started to drive back. The drive back seemed quicker than the drive there, probably because she was so hungry and so ready for the food. She beeped the horn as they pulled into the campsite, announcing their arrival as she started to park up. "Finally!" She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "They're all fucking messy." Scott laughed - he didn't think he'd ever been with a girl and not had it been at least a little bit complicated. He knew he didn't help the situations, though. "Alright, give it a rest." He shook his head - he actually thought River was a pretty cool person and he didn't want to say bad things about her, just because they'd had an argument. He wasn't in that kind of mood. "Look who's back." He laughed as he heard the horn.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Okay, give me a scenario - what do you think he's gonna say?" Betsy asked, raising an eyebrow. She didn't know how to just come up with something for River to say without knowing much about the situation. She knew it was a difficult situation for the other girl and she was obviously already struggling with it a bit.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth didn't speak as Alyssa told him everything she wanted him to hear, because he wanted to actually listen and take it in. He'd had no idea that she had gone through so much and that she could still potentially be struggling and he felt awful for the comments he'd made before. "It's not ridiculous." He shook his head, squeezing her hand.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "A good plan!" Johnny smiled, nodding his head. He was glad that neither of them really wanted to make a big deal out of any of the situations they found themselves in, they just wanted things to be okay and to have fun. "I will, I promise." He laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie laughed as Audrey spoke but she didn't actually steal any. The drive back was much quicker than it had been before. "Okay, Come get it!" Hettie called, holding out the majority of the food that she had. She placed it all on one of the blankets, taking her own food. "I think Johnny and Caleb were trying to destroy the maccies with the amount that they order." She laughed as she looked over at Johnny. She was definitely looking forward to talk to him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That is the truth!" Ashton nodded his head. He raised an eyebrow as Scott told him to give it a rest. he really didn't think that Scott actually thought much of River and it surprised him that he was sticking up for her now. He smiled as the girls came back. "Thank god. I'm starving." He sighed, getting up and grabbing the food that he had ordered.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River shrugged her shoulders, "If he says that we both know what it was? Or that I shouldn't have gone into the tent with him? Or that i'm a fucking idiot to think that he might even kind of like me." She shook her head with a sigh. She felt like she was just being stupid now. "Oh - I think the food is here. We don't have to do this..." She muttered with a shake of her head.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa sighed as he spoke and she shrugged her shoulders. "One of my friends found out and they helped me get over it but..." She shrugged her shoulders. "I dunno . I guess I'm a little sensitive about it. I wanted to smoke with you guys because I wanted to pretend to be a normal eighteen year old but - it was stupid." She hadn't relapsed - she didn't think you could call it that - but she knew that she could've.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I think so too." Caleb nodded his head with a laugh. He wasn't the kind of person to make a fuss out of things that he didn't think were needed. He would just deal with everything else later on. "Good." He laughed. "Oh yeah! Foods here!" He laughed, quickly heading over to where hettie had dumped it and grabbed arm full of his stuff
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed, helping Hettie put out the rest of the food. "You think? They absolutely tired to buy them out." She laughed, shaking her head as she looked at the amount of food that was theirs alone. She grabbed her own food and looked up, smiling over at Ashton as she saw that he was up. "Look who's finally awake." She laughed, raising an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott was so glad to see the girls were back, mostly because he was starving and the hunger was starting to bring the hangover back. "This is gonna send me right back to sleep." He laughed, immediately starting to eat what he'd ordered. He hadn't realised that he was still pretty tired.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Then you tell him that you didn't think he made it obvious and that if it meant nothing to him, then he should've said that before doing anything with you." Betsy shrugged her shoulders. "You know you're not an idiot, River. So don't let him make you feel like one." She raised an eyebrow. She hoped Scott wouldn't try and pull any of that, after how upset she had been. "C'mon, let's go and get some food - build up our strength." She laughed, linking her arm through the brunettes.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No, I understand... I mean - wanting to be a normal eighteen year old, I understand that. Not in the same way, but... Obviously I understand what it's like to want to be able to act like everybody else." Seth shrugged his shoulders. He just wanted to show her that he got it and he would be there for her. "I'm sorry, for challenging you on it - I should've just realised there was a reason and shut up." He sighed. "I'm really glad you wanted to tell me this, you know?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yes! The food!" Johnny laughed, walking over excitedly to grab everything he'd ordered, his arms full by the time he had picked it all up. "We were hungry, what can we say?" He chuckled at what Hettie said.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie didn't mind all of the BBQ food but she was definitely glad of something other than that, espcially when that meant Mcdonalds. "You worked up some kind of appetite last night?" She asked Johnny with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She had no idea that he was annoyed at her for spending the night with Scott. She hadn't thought that it was a big deal.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton laughed, "It's still fucking early for how late we were up, I don't blame you." He shook his head slightly. He was glad that he hadn't missed out on food but he definitely wanted to go back to sleep soon. "Well - needed to get my beauty sleep, didn't i?" Ashton asked with a laugh, "Especially if what Scott said is true. Said I look like an extra from The Walking Dead."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River nodded. She knew that what Betsy was saying made sense, she just knew that she wouldn't have thought it on her own. River was so inexperienced with boys and she was glad to get some help from Betsy. "Thank you." She whispered to her friend with a nod of her head. She wasn't an idiot. And the last thing she was going to do was let Scott treat her like one. "Oh my god, i'm so hungry." River laughed, grabbing her fries, salad and fruit bag.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa should've realised that, if anyone understood where she was coming from, it was Seth. "No. Oh my god, no. You had no idea. I probably sounded like I was insane. I just thought that you had already found out, somehow. And that you were making a dig which is also insane because you're basically the nicest human being on the planet." She smiled slightly as she shrugged her shoulders, "I didn't want there to be any secrets between us."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb was so content and happily say, on the floor, digging into the food he had eaten. "You're all going to be jealous when you realise that you're still hungry and me and Johnny are stuffed. This is going to be glorious."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That must be it." Johnny laughed, raising an eyebrow. He knew it was definitely a mix of the night before and how much he'd smoked, but he was definitely going to eat up and ward off the hunger. He found it hard to be annoyed at Hettie when she was standing right in front of him - he just wanted to spend time with her. "How're you feeling?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed, nodding her head. "Yeah, I thought as much, that's why I left you there." She smiled. She knew he wouldn't have minded anyway. "Ooh, that's harsh - I wouldn't go that far. You definitely looked like you needed the rest, though." She teased, shaking her head. "You look better now, though."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy didn't like that Scott seemed to have taken advantage of someone inexperienced enough to not know what he was doing, but she knew it was probably River's problem to sort, not hers. "You're welcome." She laughed, shaking her head. She grabbed her order and sat down next to her new friend, starting with the fries.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You didn't, you just sounded like it bothered you - and obviously I know now why you were." Seth nodded his head. "But just so you know... I would never make a dig or anything, I just - I wouldn't." He wanted her to know that he wasn't that kind of person. "Me either... Thank you for telling me." He smiled.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott knew he needed to talk to River, but he wanted it to be later - when he'd eaten and slept a bit more and wasn't going to lose his temper easily. He needed to apologise and he would do that better in the right frame of mind.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I'll try not to do the same tonight." Hettie laughed as she shrugged her shoulders. She definitely wanted to spend more time with Johnny. She had wanted to spend the night with him but things hadn't exactly gone to plan. "I'm alright, actually. Think the dramatics made me sober up." She shrugged, "How about you? Or is that why you're asking for all the food?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "So fucking rude, the pair of you." Ashton laughed with a shake of his head. He always took a lot of pride in his appearance so he didn't really like the jokes but he knew that, that was what it was. He wasn't going to turn it into some kind of fight though. "I think I might go sulk in my sleeping bag now."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River wanted to be more confident, she tried to be. She went to protests because she wanted to use her voice but in situations like this, she had no clue how to do that. She wished she could though. She sighed as she settle down and dug into her food. She wondered if Scott was going to say something but then figured that he probably didn't care enough.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa shrugged. She knew that she probably should've explained the night before but they were around so many people. She didn't want anyone to overhear them. She nodded slightly. "I know. I know. I was being stupid." Alyssa reached over to kiss him then. She liked Seth so much and she was glad that she had been able to tell him this now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "What do you think I'm building up my strength for?" Johnny laughed - he was obviously joking and he thought Hettie would find it funny. He wouldn't complain if something did happen tonight though, but he definitely wanted to make sure she would spend the night with him if it did. "You know, I'm actually okay - I think I sobered up about then too. And I slept pretty well afterwards." He chuckled. "The food is just standard." He laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I said you look better now!" Audrey laughed, pretending to be shocked as he said she was rude. She had no idea he wouldn't like the jokes - she thought it was pretty obvious he was still the best looking there, even with the hangover. "Aw, do you want me to feel bad for you now?" She giggled, pouting slightly as she looked over at him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott knew that River was still probably very upset with him - he knew he could've handle the situation better, but he had been shocked when it the subject came up and anybody that knew him well knew that he never responded well to personal stuff. He didn't like being told he was a bad person, it was like it triggered something inside him. He was going to apologise, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You weren't being stupid at all..." Seth said softly, but he smiled as she leaned in to kiss him. He kissed her back gently, glad that she trusted him and what they had enough to want to tell him all of this. He pulled away with a little smile. "Ready to go in?" he asked her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Oh - good to know." Hettie laughed with a nod of her head. She was definitely looking forward to spending the night with him. She hadn't wanted to end up with Scott but it wasn't like she was given much of a choice when Johnny was with Caleb anyway. "I'm sure you did. You and Caleb looked very comfy." Hettie laughed. "You eat this much all the time?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Mhm. Don't try and dig yourself out of a hole now. It's too late." Ashton laughed with a shake of his head. He knew he was good looking, he just liked everyone else knowing it too and it didn't feel like that was the case right now. "You definitely should." Ashton nodded his head. "You've been so rude."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River wasn't sure what to do with herself. she wanted to apologise to everyone for the night before but she didn't know if that was right. She felt like an outsider before and even more so now. Now that she didn't have Scott by her side either. She wanted to go home but she knew that it wasn't going to be the case. "I'm not hungry. Does anyone want any of this?" She asked, looking around the group as she did so.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa shrugged. She wasn't going to disagree with him but she definitely hadn't felt the most sane. She had no idea how things were going to go with Seth in the long term but Alyssa was definitely looking forward to finding out. "Yeah, we should probably hurry up before people start to worry."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm -- just kidding, I don't wanna sound creepy." Johnny laughed, realising a beat too late that it might be weird to make a joke like that. He definitely didn't want to ruin his chances. "Oh, we were. Even though he made me be the big spoon." He chuckled, rolling his eyes. "So did uh - you and Scott." He tried to mention it casually, but he knew it probably didn't come across that way. He did want to talk about it though. "Just on special occasions." He laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Even though I went out and brought food? That doesn't get me at least a couple of points?" Audrey laughed, raising an eyebrow. She was so glad that they were talking again, that things weren't weird anymore. "So rude?" She laughed, widening her eyes slightly. "Is there anyway I can make it up to you?" She laughed, raising an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott looked up as River spoke, shaking his head in answer to her question. He didn't even know if it had been aimed at him, but he was probably the closest to her distance wise. He just wasn't sure what to do - it wasn't often that he actually felt bad for anything he did, but River was different. She made him feel different.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth wasn't even going to bring up the disagreement from the night before, but he was glad that they'd spoken about it and that Alyssa had explained all of this stuff to him. "I'm really glad I'm here with you." He told her with a smile, getting out of the car and walking around to open her door for her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I know that you're kidding. You definitely didn't sound creepy." Hettie rolled her eyes but she couldn't help but laugh. She really liked Johnny. He was like no-one that she had been around before. He was definitely different to the people she would usually hang out with, but she liked that. "You're not the big spoon? We might have a problem now." She laughed. The blonde shook her head slightly as he mentioned Scott, "I only ended up with him because of everything that happened. I wanted to spend the night with you." She felt like he was challenging her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I guess it scores you a couple of points.." Ashton muttered with a shrug of his shoulders, though he smiled at Audrey then. He liked that they seemed to be on good terms now. He definitely didn't like not being able to talk to her. "We'll see, we'll see."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River shrugged her shoulders as Scott shook his head. She put her food in the middle, so anyone who wanted them could pick at it. She so wanted to talk to Scott but she knew that she shouldn't. She had to stand by what she had said to him. She didn't even think that Scott really cared about what had happened, or that she had been upset. She refused to let him get in her head anymore.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa really hadn't wanted it all to have over the two of them while they were shopping. It was all that she could think about and she couldn't believe that Seth had just wanted to let it go. She smiled up at him and she nodded her head, "I'm glad I'm here with you too." She laughed. She was really happy.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Good - just wanted to make sure." Johnny laughed as Hettie rolled her eyes, shrugging his shoulders. He never wanted to come across too forward because even though he did like Hettie a lot, he was happy for things to be going slowly too. "Listen, I don't mind being the big spoon when I'm the tallest one - but Caleb is so tall, it only seemed fair." He laughed. He nodded as she spoke about Scott. "I get it - I just didn't know where you'd gone."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Good, that's the only reason I went, so." Audrey shrugged her shoulders, her laughter showing that she was joking. "Come on, you can sit and sulk and eat your food instead, how does that sound?" She laughed as she looked up at him. She was excited to get to spend a bit more time with him today, especially since they hadn't seen each other at all apart from in rehearsal for the last few weeks.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott had planned on speaking to River later on in the night, but as he watched her not even eat her food, sitting on her own, he didn't think he could wait until later. He sighed and put his food to the side, walking over to her slowly. "Can we talk?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "In the tent?" He hadn't even planned what he was going to say, but he knew it was something he needed to do.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth locked the car and took Alyssa's hand with a smile, heading into the shop. He felt as though they were an actual couple, doing something as mundane as shopping together - and it made him looking forward to when they were official, although he didn't think it would happen just yet. It didn't take as long as he thought it would to get everybody's stuff together. "Do you think we're done?" He asked with a smile as they grabbed the last of the list.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Don't worry. You're all good." Hettie smiled. She liked that he was making sure that she was okay though. He was so good to her and that was something which she absolutely was not used to. She laughed as he continued, "Okay, that makes a lot of sense but hey - at least he's cute. There are worse faces to wake up next to." She shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't know that I had to tell you everything I was doing?" Hettie asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She definitely couldn't help but get a little defensive sometimes.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Of course it was. Everyone wants to please me." Ashton laughed. He was obviously joking with her and he liked that Audrey could definitely take a joke. "Hey - that sounds bliss to me." He shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't help but wonder if Caleb was going to do something. It was no secret that the two of them seemed to hit it off too. He felt kind of smug, that Caleb was keeping to himself.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River wasn't sad, not really. She just wasn't really hungry and she was confused about everything that had happened. She didn't like to regret stuff but she knew that she could've handled everything with Scott in.a much better way. She looked up as she heard his voice and nodded her head, "Yeah, of course." She knew that she couldn't back down but she was definitely interested in what he had to say.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: It felt nice to be able to act like an actual couple with Seth. Alyssa definitely really liked him and she hadn't felt like this for someone in a very, very long time. She wondered how long it was going to be until the two of them became an actual couple, not that she was in a rush to do so. "I think we've got enough to feed an army!" Alyssa laughed wit ha nod of her head.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "There are definitely worse faces - but also better." Johnny laughed, but he was obviously joking - he had only known him a few short months, but Caleb was already pretty much his best friend in the world. He couldn't believe he hadn't known him his whole life. He shook his head as Hettie seemed to get a little defensive, a smile on his face. "S'not what I'm saying at all." He wasn't an argumentative person at all, but he also wouldn't back down that easily. "Just that it would've been nice to know, after we slept together." He raised an eyebrow slightly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Oh, that must be it." Audrey laughed, rolling her eyes playfully. She knew that she wanted to talk to Caleb at some point today, to make sure everything was okay between them - they had such a good time together, she still wanted that to be the case. She had no idea that Ashton was even thinking about Caleb. "Are you too hungover to do anything today?" She laughed, looking at him. She definitely didn't want to sit around all day.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott cleared his throat, happy that River had agreed to talk to him. "Thanks." He muttered, heading into the tent and hoping that she followed him. He definitely didn't want to have this conversation in front of the others, because he knew that whatever they were pretending, they would be curious. He just wanted it to be the two of them.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I feel like we're the parents of a very large group of children." Seth laughed, raising an eyebrow. It looked like his parents big weekly shop, not food for the next day or so. He knew it would probably all go though, especially the booze. He packed the bags and put them back in the trolley to take them out to the car. "I've actually had a really nice morning." He laughed softly.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie shook her head as Johnny continued with his point. "Hang on a second." Hettie sighed, "I go to have a conversation with Scott and then when I come back out to brush my teeth again, you're already with Caleb. Was I supposed to wake you up?" She was definitely feeling defensive but she didn't like being told that she had done something wrong, just by being with a friend. "I had a really good night with you. But my friend needed me. You weren't even back when I went to talk to him."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Mhm. We both know it's the case." He laughed as he shrugged his shoulders. He liked to be peoples priority, he certainly wasn't going to pretend like that wasn't the case. "Depends what you had in mind?" Ashton asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He definitely wanted to spend some time with Audrey.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: As she followed Scott into the tent, River caught Betsys eye. Her friend had already helped her with so much and she just needed to keep what she had told her in mind. River refused to bow down to Scott, even if she wanted to. She had to stand her ground. She didn't say anything though. She sat down in one of the seats in the middle of the tent and looked at him. She wasn't going to be the one to start this and she was definitely curious as to what he was going to say. She hoped he didn't start by being defensive again, though.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That's exactly what we are. We're the parents and Lucy and Isaac are the grandparents." Alyssa laughed with a nod of her head. She was sure that everyone would eat what they had brought home and they had enough alcohol to get people through as well. Her smiled widened as she heard his next statement and Alyssa nodded her head, "So have i."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny wasn't interested in an argument at all, he wasn't even annoyed at Hettie, he just wanted to talk about it and he didn't understand why she was being so defensive. "Woah, why is this turning into a big deal? I just wanted to talk to you about it..." He asked, widening his eyes slightly. He didn't understand how they were supposed to navigate anything if they couldn't discuss things. It was one of the first times he saw how similar she and Scott were.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey shrugged her shoulders as she thought, moving to sit down. She definitely wanted to do something fun today, but she had no idea what the tensions were like between people so she didn't know if it would be a whole group thing or not. "Something fun." She laughed nodding her head. "But I don't know what yet." She hoped people would all be fine with each other so that they could enjoy their day.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott sat down as River did - he was quite visibly awkward about wanting to talk, but mostly because he was trying to think of the right things to say. He didn't want to make this any worse because, despite what the others might say about her, he did like River. "I just... wanted to say sorry. For losing my temper last night. Shouldn't have done it." He raised an eyebrow, looking up at her to see what she would say back.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's the exact dynamic! They make the perfect grandparents." Seth laughed, nodding his head. He liked that they seemed to have formed a little group with Lucy and Isaac, he felt like they were very much his kind of people. "Good." He smiled as he got the bags into the boot of the car, before climbing in himself.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I'm not making it into a big deal. It's a genuine question." Hettie shrugged. Though she knew that she was being difficult, she was never going to admit it and she was actually curious about his answer. She didn't think she was to blame for this, at least not anymore than Johnny was. And she didn't like that she was being made out to have done something wrong. "I mean it - what did you want me to do?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton chuckled as Audrey spoke and he nodded his head, "I thought you might say that." He liked that she was always after a little bit of adventure. It definitely never made it boring, that was for sure. "Then we best get thinking, huh? It's still pretty early anyway. We've got loads of time." He shrugged. he didn't think it would be long until they were all drunk again, though.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River was so curious as to what he wanted to talk about. And when he did finally speak, she was so surprised. She had never thought that he might say sorry. And she wondered if it was just because she had gotten lost, or if he would've said it regardless. "I -- I accept your apology." River nodded slightly. She was being so careful wit what she said which was something new for her. Usually, she just let whatever was in her head, come out of her mouth. "I went at it in completely the wrong way so - For that, I'm sorry too." She wanted to make sure that she wasn't sorry for what she said, though.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "They do, don't they? Hard to remember they're our age - Isaacs even younger, isn't he?" Alyssa asked as she looked at Seth with a laugh. She definitely liked that she and Lucy had struck up a friendship. She felt like she could trust the other with almost everything already, something which wasn't Alyssas strong point.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny sighed softly, but he thought for a second about what he wanted his answer to be. "I would've liked you to tell me, yeah. If I'm honest. Even if that meant waking me up for five minutes." He shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't trying to tell her what to do or who she should be close with; he understood that Scott was her friend and she was there for him, but he would've liked to know. "Or to have addressed it this morning. I just think - if it was the other way around, you would be bothered." He told her honestly.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Because we barely did anything yesterday! I can't sit around for a whole day again, I'll go crazy." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She was all for relaxing, but not two days in a row - if it hadn't gotten dark, she would've stayed in the water all day yesterday. "I still need to do a rematch of holding my breath underwater with Caleb, because I lost yesterday so - I guess we're swimming at some point." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott was surprised that River accepted his apology straight away - anybody else he knew would've made him work for it, or wouldn't have accepted at all. He was reminded again of just how different she was to the other people he knew. "You do?" He asked, almost confused. "Nah, s'fine... I just didn't - know that was how you felt. So I guess I got defensive or whatever." Apologising was so alien to him, he barely did it - ever, which was the reason for his awkwardness.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, Isaac's seventeen. Which is mad, because he seems so much older than say - Johnny, who's in university." Seth laughed, shaking his head. He didn't think that was a bad thing, he liked that Johnny was the way he was, but it was definitely a contrast to Isaac.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie nodded, once. "So - it's okay for you to share with your friend and not say anything to me but I can't share with mine, without telling you where I am?" She knew that it was more than that. There was clearly something between herself and Scott but she didn't like that Johnny was telling her what to do. She genuinely didn't think that she had done anything wrong. "I wouldn't have wanted to be woken up but.. whatever." She shrugged her shoulders. And she meant that. She might not have liked it, but she definitely would've understood.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "We barely did anything? You forgetting the swim?" Ashton asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He was glad to get out of the water when he had but something was telling him that most of them would've ended up back in the water today. "I guess so." He laughed as he nodded his head slight,y
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River never saw the point in holding grudges, especially since Scott seemed to hate all of this. She could tell he meant it just because of how awkward he was. It was definitely a side that she didn't see very often, if ever, from him. "Why wouldn't I?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She found it sad that he was so surprised. She thought it showed that he wasn't around the best kind of people. "I still think that - I dunno. I guess I think that it should've been said. That it was nothing. And it's fine. Like, that's fine. I just -" She shrugged slightly. "And even though it clearly was nothing, it still isn't nice to be someones second pick. It's not the first time that you've settled with me." She laughed slightly, almost self conscious.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "He definitely does. But I guess the same could be said about us two." Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. She liked people thinking that she was older than she was. She was so ready to be a proper adult. "Speaking of Johnny - what do you think of him and Hettie?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She was curious to hear his thoughts on it all.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny sighed - he didn't think this was fair at all. "I know you know that's not the same, Hettie." He shook his head. "All I'm saying was that it was pretty shit to finally get somewhere and then to wake up with you and Scott coming out of the tent together. And if you can't see that it was, then I think you're not seeing it on purpose. I don't want to argue about it, there's no point. That's just how I feel." He shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to play these games and pretend that it was anything other than what it was. He wanted how he had felt to be out in the open.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We swam for like, half an hour! That's nothing! We have the whole day today, there's got to be more to do." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She didn't mind what it was, she was happy to wait and see what it was that everybody else wanted to do. "You didn't like the swimming, then?" She laughed, raising an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott shrugged his shoulders. "Dunno... Just - a lot of people wouldn't." He said quietly. When he was a little boy, his dad had always taught him that saying sorry wasn't good enough. He just had to not make mistakes. "I know, I just... I really didn't realise that was what it was. I didn't realise I was doing that. I didn't think of you as a second choice, it was just - yeah... But I'm sorry about it." He nodded his head. He had no idea what was between him and Hettie, but it was something, he knew that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed. "For sure - like we said, we seem like the oldest four." He smiled. He had always been quite old for his age, but especially after everything with Ella had happened. He had grown a lot. He shrugged his shoulders at the question. "Not a lot." He laughed. He didn't tend to think into other peoples relationships very much. "I just hope Johnny knows what he's gotten himself into."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "But it was yesterday." Hettie nodded, "Yesterday, Scott was nothing more than just my friend. It's not like I went and slept with him straight after. If that had happened then fine, whatever. I get it. But I was being there for my friend, you were already with someone else so I didn't see the harm." She knew that she wouldn't drop this. She was almost annoyed that Johnny thought she had to say something to him. Scott had been her friend for a very long time and she didn't like having to feel like she couldn't have that because of his feelings.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "If you go swimming for the whole day, you're gonna come out looking like a prune." Ashton laughed. "We can go exploring later on though, promise." He needed some time to wake up a little bit more first. Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "It's not like I didn't enjoy it. Just that it was fucking cold."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River smiled slightly, "Well we both know that I am not like a lot of people." She was weird... which made it even more surprising to her that Scott seemed to want to be her friend. She liked being around him and yes, she did think that she had feelings for him but it was more than that. She found him really interesting. "It was just what?" River asked. There was no judgement in her tone. She really did want to know what he was thinking.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa had always seemed like she was older.. but especially since her parents started arguing a lot. She had, had a lot on her shoulders and she had, had to grow up pretty quickly. She nodded her head as Seth spoke. She liked that he didn't get involved in other peoples business. "I'm not sure that he does.." She sighed. It was so clear to her that Scott and Hettie had this crazy chemistry... but she was really rooting for Johnny.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny was actually a little bit surprised that Hettie seemed to be totally reluctant to see this from his point of view and if he was honest, it annoyed him a little bit. "Right, okay. We're not going to see it the same way, are we?" He sighed, raising an eyebrow. He didn't know how much more he could put into a pursuing anything when it was so clear that Scott would always be coming first.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey laughed at the image, shaking her head. "What, you don't think that would be a good look?" She laughed. "I'll hold you to that. I suppose I can do nothing for now, then." She laughed, leaning back as she resigned herself to another chill morning. She was happy with her present company, though, so she wasn't going to complain. "That's because it was nighttime though, it's sunny today. You'll be fine." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head, a little smile on his face at what River was saying. She was right, she was like nobody else he knew. "I don't know - I just didn't see it that way. But you did, so - there we are." He nodded his head. It wasn't that he always thought everyone was second to Hettie, he was just so confused by what his feelings for her were.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No, me either. I don't know - I feel like there are better suited people for him out there." Seth sighed. He liked Hettie, he did - but he felt like she would always have whatever she had with Scott, no matter what. "It's all gonna get messy, isn't it?" He raised an eyebrow.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Clearly not!" Hettie shook her head ever so slightly. "I didn't want to spend the night with Scott, Johnny. I wanted to spend it with you. But then a girl went missing and my friend needed me and then you were with Caleb. I don't know why you're making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. I would've gone back out to spend the bloody night with you but you'd already gone to sleep!" She had really been looking forward to spending the day with him, now she was just annoyed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "Somehow, I don't think that even you could pull that one off." He kissed her forehead with a laugh. "Sunbathe. Get a tan. It's not doing nothing. Just relaxing." Ashton chuckled. This was where he preferred to be but he wasn't about to stop Audrey. He liked having fun with her too. "Yeah. We'll see." He laughed. "Should've asked Seth and Alyssa to get us some swimming stuff."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River nodded as Scott spoke. She really wanted to understand where it was that he was coming from too. "What did you see it as? Just someone to have fun with?" She asked. River really liked Scott, as a friend, and she wondered if he thought the same about her. She hoped so. She chewed on her lip for a moment before she spoke again, "I do stand by everything I said last night though... I really think that you need to talk to Hettie. Before people get hurt."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "It's not all about better suited though, right? I mean - he clearly likes her, enough to put up with all of the Scott stuff." If she was honest, Alyssa thought that it was kind of brave of Johnny to get in the middle of all of that. She would've ran the other way. "I think so, yeah."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Hettie, I'm not the one making it into a big deal! I asked you one question, for gods sake!" Johnny was annoyed now, when he hadn't been before. It was just frustrating to feel like he couldn't even bring up something that had bothered him without her getting annoyed at him for it. "You are the one making this into a big deal, Hettie. Not me. I just wanted to bring up something that bothered me, is that not allowed?" His voice wasn't angry, it was just tired.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "What? You're so rude." Audrey laughed, but she smiled as he kissed her forehead. "Get a tan? Is that a joke? I don't tan, I burn." She rolled her eyes, but she laughed as he did. She didn't mind doing nothing for a little bit, with him. She would definitely join the others when they did decide to do something, though. "We should've so done that! Do you think it's too late?!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I guess so. I thought it was just two people wanting somebody." Scott shrugged his shoulders. He'd really seen it as that; he'd thought he'd be able to tell if somebody liked him, but he obviously hadn't. He sighed as she brought up Hettie, shaking his head. "Don't get involved in that. Okay?" That was where he would lose his temper and he didn't want to.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No no, of course not... It's about people liking each other and obviously they do, but - I don't know. It's not like Scott is going anywhere anytime soon, is he?" Seth raised an eyebrow. He thought Johnny deserved someone who only wanted him. "Great..." He sighed. He really didn't want to see anybody get hurt. It felt a far cry away from the very first party, when they'd all barely known each other.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "And I answered the question and you still don't think that the answer is good enough!" That was how it felt. Hettie thought that he was trying to catch her out somehow. "I heard you. And i wanted to make it clear that you knew I wanted to spend the night with you." She liked Johnny, a lot. Sure, Scott was always going to be there but she didn't think that she and Scott would ever sort their shit out enough for that. "I've heard you. I'll wake you up next time, whatever. But the whole reason we were in that situation was because you went and shared with him. So don't make it out like i'm the bad guy here. There isn't one." Hettie was used to being the bad on in a situation. She was the black sheep of the family after all.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I think you're a very pretty lady... just maybe not as a prune." Ashton laughed. He felt ridiculous even saying that but he liked that Audrey didn't seem to care. "Do you have your SPF then" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. "Must be, right? They've been gone for ages..?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I can understand that." River nodded. She had always been someone who caught feelings far too quickly. She had even had a little bit of a crush on Johnny after the first party. She loved people with all of her heart and that was a massive problem sometimes. "I'm not. That's all I'm saying. I just care about Johnny and I don't want him getting hurt. The same would be said to him if you were in his position." She wanted to make it clear to him that he still had a friend in her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know if anything will actually come from Hettie and Scott though. I think they're too proud of ever be the one to make the first move. Whereas Johnny would." She hoped that, that would be enough to end all of it. She didn't want to stand by and see people hurt.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's not what's happening here! I feel like we've had two different conversations." Johnny sighed, shaking his head. He really couldn't understand what he had said to make her think that the answer wasn't good enough. "Hettie, I'm not saying you're the bad guy. I don't think you're the bad guy - it's not even... there's not even a situation here, I just wanted to talk to you and it's turned into... this." He shook his head. "I need a breather, okay? I don't wanna just keep going over this." He didn't think he could do it for much longer, not when he didn't even understand the point of the argument. She seemed so unwilling to admit that she could've ever done something wrong and he didn't like that, not when he was always quite open to admitting mistakes.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "See, that's better! I'll stay out of the water, then - for too long, at least." Audrey laughed. She could tell that he felt silly saying it, but it made her laugh anyway. "Pft, do I? About five layers of it. The sun isn't catching me out today. It's the Scottish, we burn easily." She laughed, shaking her head. She had known she'd want to be outside for most of the day, so she wasn't taking any chances. "Yeah, probably - I don't know, they probably just wanted to spend time together without everybody around them." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. She didn't blame them, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "But I know it doesn't make it any - nicer." Scott shrugged his shoulders. He still felt guilty for how things had transpired and he couldn't lie, especially since River had gone missing he had felt even more guilty. "Johnny can look after himself. I'm not doing anything to him and if you're so worried, it's Hettie you should be telling." He raised an eyebrow. He wasn't going to be told he needed to fix things for Johnny's sake - it wasn't like he was the one who was sleeping with him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's the problem, though. Nothing's going to come of it so they're always going to be to-ing and fro-ing. I like Johnny. I don't want him to get stuck in the middle." Seth sighed. He could see them working, if Scott wasn't there - but he didn't think it would end well for Johnny, because he was.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Okay. I've made it all up in my head. My bad." She rolled her eyes. This was why Hettie liked Scott so much. Things were so much easier with him. He understood her. He knew her family, he could see why she was like she was but it felt like Johnny wasn't even trying. She understood that he was upset and she was trying to get him to understand her side of it... but he was just not even trying. "Fine. Whatever." Hettie snapped with a raise of an eyes. She didn't see the point in even continuing this anymore. Hettie didn't think that she had made a mistake, that was where the problem was
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Alright - sounds like we have a plan then." Ashton laughed as he nodded his head. He liked making her laugh, he just wasn't used to making a fool out of himself. "Ah right, of course. How could I not realise that one?" He asked. Ashton found it so interesting that she wasn't from London. All of his friend were London born and raised. "Probably."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River shook her head with a laugh, "Oh my god, don't. It's just a crush, Scott. It's not a big deal. It'll probably go away." She shrugged her shoulders. She knew that she had made it seem like a big deal the night before but now she definitely just wanted to brush it away. "I'm definitely not speaking to her. I think she already wants to murder me." River was almost certain that Hettie didn't like her just because she got on with Scott and she didn't like that one bit.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I don't think he will. I think he's smarter than that. And if he does, then he'll figure out for himself that she just isn't worth it." Though they were very different people, Alyssa liked Hettie. She thought that she would be good for Johnny, under the right circumstances.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny definitely didn't want this to be the end of the conversation entirely, but he couldn't push it anymore now - he didn't feel like he was getting anywhere and he knew it would be better if they both just took some time before they came back to it. He shook his head with a sigh and walked over to Caleb, sitting down next to his friend. Almost as soon as he did, his phone beeped and he pulled it out to look. An email with the subject 'cast list.' "Oh shit," he laughed, raising his eyebrows. "Cast list is out!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "God knows, it's like - our signature trait." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She was so used to London now, she'd lived there for ten years, but Scotland would always feel like home to her. Her stomach fluttered slightly as Johnny said he'd got the cast list - she didn't come across serious about many things, but theatre was definitely one of them and she really wanted the part this time. She'd tried so hard. She got out her own phone to pull up the list, laughing slightly in shock as she saw her name.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott smiled as River laughed, nodding his head. He wouldn't say anymore on the matter than that, he didn't want to make it into a big deal or embarrass her in any way. "Then just leave it, I guess." He shrugged his shoulders. He thought one way or another, it would sort itself out. He looked down as his phone beeped. "Oh - the cast list is out. You wanna see?" He asked. He knew she really wanted one of the parts in there, but he couldn't remember the name.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "At least he's got all of his friends around him, yeah?" Seth smiled as he pulled into the car park, hearing his phone beep. He waited until he'd turned off the engine and unbuckled his seatbelt to see what it was. "Oh, it's the cast list!" He laughed excitedly. He honestly didn't mind what part he got, but he was so excited to be a part of Rock of Ages. He'd ready for both Drew and Dennis and he thought they were both great.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie really had no idea what had happened there. Sometimes, it felt like she got annoyed or angry about something and she had blacked out. But she really didn't think that she had done anything wrong this time. She was already in a mood, and looking at the cast list put her in an even bigger one. "Oh you have got to be kidding me?" Hettie snapped as she looked down at the list.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That and swearing too much." Ashton chuckled. He raised an eyebrow as he heard Johnny call. He had auditioned because he was enjoying Spelling Bee so much and he didn't want to stop though he wasn't expecting much, especially since he knew that Seth had gone for Drew too. He saw Audreys name first. "Hey, congratulations!" He laughed and squeezed her shoulder. He hadn't even seen who he was playing yet.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I guess." River nodded. She had tried her best. She just had to hope that Scott would listen to her. As she heard both of their phones beep, River felt sick. With Spelling Bee, she had just been excited to be a part of it. She hadn't really minded who she would be. This one was a dream role and she didn't think she'd be able to face whoever got it. "No. Would you just tell me the bad news?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Yeah. Exactly." Alyssa nodded her head. She smiled as she heard that the cast list was out. She thought it was exciting that everyone got to find out together. "So?" Alyssa asked him as he looked down at his phone. She was helping backstage again but she was so excited for the others.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny loved Rock of Ages, he'd seen it a couple of times and he'd had such a good time with Spelling Bee that there'd been no way he wasn't auditioning. He didn't massively mind who he played, although he was a little bit disappointed when he looked at the list to see he hadn't got Lonny or Dennis. He was happy with Franz though and he knew he'd be able to have a really fun time with it - especially since River was playing Regina. Selfishly, he'd looked for his own name first and when he heard Hettie, he scrolled to look for her name on the list. "Oh... I'm sorry, Hettie..." he said softly - he knew she'd really wanted Sherrie.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "And drinking." Audrey laughed, but her attention was pretty taken by the cast list. She had really wanted the part and tried her hardest, but everybody had known it was between her and Hettie - they had called them both in so many times. "Thanks!" She laughed, shaking her head almost in disbelief. She couldn't believe she'd done it - it was such a dream for her, this role. "Congratulations you!" She laughed, nudging him gently. She had known he was probably going to get it, but she was still really happy for him - and excited for them to do it together.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Don't be so negative." Scott laughed, rolling his eyes, but he got the email up and started looking down the list. He smiled as he saw that he'd gotten the part they'd had him read for - he hadn't known any of them when he went in, but they had seemed to want him as Stacee. "It says you're playing... Regina?" He pronounced it slowly, like he wasn't sure he'd said it right. He wasn't sure if that was the one she wanted or not.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm looking, I'm looking!" Seth laughed, trying to get the email to load. "I'm playing Dennis!" He laughed, a big smile on his face - that was more than fine with him, especially once he saw that Caleb had gotten the part of Lonny. "That's gonna be so much fun!" He smiled, looking to Alyssa. He was excited for how much fun they were going to have with a show as crazy as Rock of Ages was.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie rolled her eyes as she heard Audrey and Ashton. Audrey was her friend and sure, a part of her was happy for her but she was really annoyed. "Alright - can you cool it? We don't need it rubbing in our fucking faces." She snapped at them. She didn't even respond to Johnny. Instead of standing there with them all, she went to her car and got in. She didn't intend to go anywhere, she just didn't want to be around them. She felt so embarrassed. Hettie knew that Justice was a good part but she felt like this was why she couldn't tell her parents about what she wanted to do. She was never going to be good enough.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton looked back at the list as she told him congratulations and he smiled. He was so excited to be able to play Drew, especially with Audrey being opposite him. "Looks like you're gonna see a lot more of me." He laughed. He raised an eyebrow as he realised that Hettie was talking to him and Audrey. He didn't think that either of them had done anything that bad.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Wait - seriously?!" River asked. She quickly moved to his side so that she could look over the list too. "Oh my god. I have to find Johnny." She laughed. She went back outside and once she saw him, she practically dove on him. She was giddy with excitement. "I can't wait for you to play my boyfriend." She called in a sing songy voice.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That's good, right?" Alyssa smiled. She had thought that it was but she didn't know the musical very well. Alyssa didn't really know them full stop but she was excited for Seth. "I'm glad you think so. I can't wait to see you guys." She smiled and then climbed out of the car.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb had been napping when his phone went off. He was so excited about the casting and while, he knew he wanted Lonny, he could definitely see Johnny doing a much better job that him. Which was why he was pleasantly surprised to see his name there. He climbed out of the tent with a laugh.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Eh, I think I can deal with that." Audrey laughed, a smile on her face - of course, she was ecstatic to be playing Sherrie, but it made it even better that Ashton was playing opposite her and getting to see him more was definitely an added bonus. Her smile fell slightly as she heard Hettie, but she couldn't help letting out a confused laugh. "What did we do?" She looked up at Ashton, confused. She would've been happy for Hettie if she'd gotten the part, if a little bit disappointed. She thought Hettie's part was still great and suited her really well.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott had to laugh as River practically skipped out of the tent to go and find Johnny, he followed her out just in time to see Hettie getting in her car. He could tell by her face that she hadn't got the part she wanted. He sighed and walked over to the car, knocking on the window. He didn't know if she'd want his company or not, but he wanted to be there for her like she always was for him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny couldn't help but laugh as he heard River's voice, wrapping his arms around her as she jumped on him. "This is so cool!" He laughed loudly. He knew they were going to have an absolute blast - he was going to love singing with her. "I'd better get learning how to do a German accent!" He laughed loudly. "Get in here, you!" He laughed, calling over to Caleb. His friend had pretty much gotten the lead and he wanted to celebrate with him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's pretty good - I get to play Caleb's boyfriend." Seth laughed, shrugging his shoulders. He liked that he had a lot to do, but not the most - he would've felt a lot of pressure taking on something like Drew right now and he knew Ashton would be better at it than he would. He smiled as he got out of the car, heading over to Caleb and the others. "Congratulations you guys!" He laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton was genuinely confused about what Hettie even meant. He and Audrey had hardly even done anything and he thought that it was pretty rude of her to be mad when Audrey had clearly just been better than her. "We didn't. She's just being a moody bitch." He muttered with a shake of his head. He didn't want anyone to ruin this for Audrey.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie sighed as she heard the knock, thinking it was Audrey or Johnny. She already felt better when she realised that it was Scott. She nodded her head, almost letting him know that it was okay for him to get in. He got it. He knew her parents. Hettie had wanted Sherrie a lot but it was the fact that she knew she couldn't tell her parents until she knew that they couldn't deny how good she was. She didn't think that Justice would do that.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River laughed as Johnny spoke, "I'm so excited. Oh my god, you're going to be so funny, do you know that? You're gonna be hilarious." She was more than sure of that. River had dreamt of playing this part since she had first seen the show and now she got to do it. She couldn't believe it. She held out her arm for Caleb, "Come on superstar!" She laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb laughed as he heard Johnny. And he quickly moved over to his friends, wrapping his arms around both of them. He liked Seth but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed that Johnny wasn't his Dennis, not that he would say it of course. "You guys excited?" He asked them with a laugh. He smiled as he heard Seth, "You too, boyfriend!"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa liked that, slowly but surely, it seemed like Seth was getting more confidence. She thought that he deserved it. He was so good and Alyssa liked that people were taking notice of that face.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey understood that it was probably disappointing for Hettie, but she didn't think it was a reason to be rude - and especially not to storm off. She shook her head, looking towards the car. She wondered if she should go and speak to her, but she didn't think it would do any good. "Weird." She said softly, shrugging her shoulders. She felt bad, but also happy at the same time. She had worked for it just as hard, she thought.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: At the nod of the head, Scott climbed into the passenger seat, closing the door behind him. "Stormed off, did you?" He chuckled softly, reaching over to take her hand gently in his. "Looks like you still got a really good part, H - it's near the top of the list, anyway." He shrugged his shoulders. He knew she liked to be the best, though and he had really thought she would get it.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, kissing the top of River's head fondly. He was so happy and there was nobody else he'd rather be playing opposite - except maybe Caleb. "This is gonna be so great! And you - fucking hell, you did it!" He laughed as Caleb joined the circle, squeezing him tightly. Whatever the casting, he knew they would have the best time on this show.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed as he heard Caleb, blowing him a kiss. He knew he would probably rather be doing it with Johnny, but he got that - they were best friends. He still thought they'd have a great time, though. "Of course!" He laughed. "I need to go and call my parents, actually." He chuckled. He had wanted to say congratulations, but he definitely wanted to tell his parents too.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton shook his head. He thought that, that was pretty selfish of her, really. Audrey had worked hard and he thought that she deserved it just as much as anyone else, maybe even more. "Just ignore her." He muttered with a shake of his head. "You did really well. You get to fucking celebrate that."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Though she knew that Scott was trying to lighten the mood, his first question kind of annoyed her. "Well, I didn't want to be around them. It's fucking embarrassing." She knew that she wouldn't admit that to anyone other than Scott, though. She sighed, "But we both know that they wouldn't see it like that." Her brother was the best in his job and Hettie was supposed to follow. She was supposed to be just as good as him and in the same career. If she was going to show them that she could branch out on her own, she had to be the best.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River had been so concerned about if she was going to get the part, she hadn't even considered who she would be playing opposite. She was thrilled with the fact that it was Johnny though. She knew that they would have the best time. "So great." She smiled and nodded as he turned to Caleb. She was so sure that he was going to be amazing. He was made for this role.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb beamed as his friends spoke to him. He honestly couldn't wait. "Did you see the understudy too?" He laughed. He didn't know Milo exactly but he knew of him and he knew that he was a funny guy. "I can't believe that I got it over him." He laughed. he was so excited.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa nodded her head, "Yeah, of course." She smiled. "Congratulations." She reached to kiss his cheek before she went into the tent so she could retrieve her book. She would read for a little while he spoke to his parents.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey just wasn't really used to people like Hettie yet, she didn't think - she thought they were close enough for them to be able to talk about it rather than her snapping, but all of her friends outside of this group were so chilled out that they never really argued anyway. "I get it if she's upset or whatever - I just didn't think we were rubbing anything in anyone's face." She laughed, shaking her head. "We will celebrate. Just not here." She smiled. She didn't want to cause anymore shit.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's not embarrassing, H." Scott shook his head. "Not to these people, anyway - they don't care." He shrugged his shoulders. He got it, though - he understood why she was upset. He had a hard time at home - his parents would never care that he was doing something like a musical, even though he enjoyed it, but she had the opposite problem. Hers cared too much about the wrong things. "They're gonna see how good you are whether you're the lead or in the fucking background. There's no denying how good you are, Hettie." He raised an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed, nodding his head enthusiastically. "Yeah, it's Milo! I work with him and he's so good man, your audition must've been insane!" He laughed, shaking his head. He thought Milo was so talented, so he was really proud of Caleb for having the edge and getting the part. "Fucking hell, I can't wait to start rehearsing it - how much fun are we gonna have?" He laughed, looking to both Caleb and River.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth smiled as Alyssa kissed his cheek. He was really happy today; to have spent the morning with her putting her whole trust in him, to getting a great part and now facing the rest of the day and night with all of these people he considered his friends. He didn't take long talking to his parents and then he went back into the tent to find her. "Hey - how's the book?" He smiled.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Ashton shook his head. He knew that his friends were probably a lot more like Hettie than Audreys were and he didn't think that you should just roll over with people like that. "We can celebrate now! I'll even take you swimming if that's what you want?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "You're not gonna stir anything. Hettie will get over it."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "It absolutely is." Even if none of the others thought that it was, Hettie felt so embarrassed. She hadn't known for sure if she was going to get the part but she wanted it so badly. "They're not going to see me at all." Hettie muttered with a shake of her head. "No. I'm not telling them." She didn't want them at Spelling Bee and she didn't want them at Rock of Ages. If she had gotten Sherrie, she might've considered telling them. But not now. She knew that they'd never get it if this was the part that she showed them.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River nodded her head, "We are going to have the most fun." She was so sure of that. River was excited about the fact that she had gotten Regina... but the fact that her friends were going to be opposite her was even better. "I'm so excited to see you as Lonny." She laughed as she looked at Caleb. She thought that he was pretty much born to play that role.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb raised an eyebrow as Johnny spoke about Milo. "wow - okay." He laughed. he was excited to see what the other did with the role too. He always found that the most interesting, what different things they could get out of the same part. "I can't wait till we start too." He laughed with a nod of his head. He was so ready for this now.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: This was definitely Alyssas happy place. She loved being out in the garden, with a book and reading under the son. She had no idea how long Seth had been on the phone for when he came back out. Alyssa smiled as she looked up at the sound of Seths voice. "Yeah, I am." She smiled as she closed it again. "How were your parents, are they excited?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I thought you wanted to relax, get a tan, sunbathe?" Audrey laughed, teasing as she echoed his words from earlier. She would definitely go and swim now, though - she was happy about the cast list and she thought the best thing was probably to get away from Hettie, if she didn't want her to be happy about it. "I know - just probably not while we're here." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She wasn't scared to stand up for herself, she just didn't want to have to. She looked at the cast list again on her phone - she hadn't even really taken in the other parts, before Hettie had spoken to her. "Hey - congratulations!" She called over to Caleb with a smile.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Hettie, it's not - there are loads of people who didn't even get parts, look at this." Scott shook his head, showing her the amount of people that had been put in the ensemble. "You got a fucking good part, just because it isn't the right one it doesn't mean you haven't done well." He shook his head. "Okay, fine - if they're not gonna see, then what's the problem? Fuck 'em. Do the part well enough to show them you deserved the other one." He raised an eyebrow, squeezing her hand gently. "Don't let them see you're bothered, Hettie."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You're gonna be so good, mate." Johnny chuckled. He thought Caleb was made for the part and he felt the same about River, too. "I know it's still pretty early but... I say we have a little drink in celebration. A toast." He laughed. It was afternoon by now, he thought that was an acceptable time to drink - especially when they had things to celebrate. He looked over to Hettie's car, wondering if he should go over - but he knew she was probably still pissed off at him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed, sitting down next to Alyssa with a smile. "Yeah, they were really excited - I think they might've already known, but they still pretended to be surprised." He laughed. His mum had a lot of friends at the college, being a school counsellor and he wouldn't be surprised if one of them had gotten to her first.

HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Yeah well, you just got the fucking lead role in the musical so I wanna congratulate you." Ashton laughed with a shrug of his shoulders. He was happy to do whatever it was that Audrey wanted him to do, really. He thought that this was huge for Audrey and he didn't want someone, especially not Hettie, to ruin that for her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie shook her head slightly as Scott spoke. She knew what he was saying but she was just so upset. She had always put pressure on herself but then her parents always added to that. She sometimes found it funny that she and Scott were so similar when their parents were complete opposite. "That I have to keep it a secret from them. That I have to lie to them some more. The longer this goes on, the worse they're gonna get. But I can't. - This can't be the one they see." She shook her head. Hettie looked up at Scott then. "I just want to have them be proud of me. For once."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Oh, definitely!" River laughed as she nodded her head. She got up then, and started handing out glasses to Johnny and Caleb, "Anyone else?" She looked around with a smile before she picked up the bottle of wine she had, had left over from the night before. She poured herself a glass, waiting for confirmation from the others.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa smiled as she nodded her head. "That would make sense. But they're excited! And i'm excited for you as well." She was so looking forward to seeing how everyone was going to do with the parts they had been given. She had gotten the sense that Rock of Ages and Spelling Bee were very different musicals.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "--Anyway, so then I pretty much just said we should take a breather. You know - wait until things calmed down a bit to talk about it more. But I don't think that'll happen now." Johnny sighed. He had been explaining the argument between he and Hettie to Caleb and River. They had spent the day playing games, letting off some steam - but he definitely wanted to fill them in before the group all came together again. He picked up his beer and took a sip. "It's all dented from when we played fucking piggy in the middle." He laughed, looking at a big dent in the bottom of the can.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "See, that wasn't so bad was it? And I'm not pruney at all!" Audrey laughed as she looked up at Ashton, a big smile on her face. True to his word, he had taken her swimming and she had loved it just being the two of them for a little while. It felt like a huge change from not even talking the day before, but she felt happy and she thought they'd both have a good time - and she knew now that she liked him just as much as before. "Now we can relax, I promise." She smiled as they reached the rest of the campers.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott didn't like that Hettie was upset, but he'd still gotten to spend the day with her and he could never be mad about that. He'd tried his best to cheer her up, although he didn't know how well he'd succeeded. "You know we can just drive home, right? You don't have to stay if you don't want to." He didn't want her to feel like she had to stay here if she was really having a bad time and he didn't care what anybody else thought about that. "The three people from our car can just go in Seth and Alyssa's." He shrugged his shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I think these are almost cooked - Alyssa, do you think?" Lucy asked doubtfully, looking at the food on the barbecue. The four of them had taken over the cooking for the night and although she didn't mind cooking meat, she had no idea if it looked ready or not. "You'll be a better judge than me." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. She had had the best day, just relaxing and reading with her friends and she was actually almost sad they had to go back tomorrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm definitely going to borrow it when you're done, it sounds great!" Seth smiled as Isaac finished telling him about the book he'd been reading - he wasn't a massive reader, but he'd heard of this one before and it definitely seemed like something he'd be interested in. "You'll have to promise not to give away the ending though, I always hate it when people do that. My big sister is the worst for it, she'll try and recommend a film but tell you the entire story and the ending so you don't need to watch it anyway." He laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River nodded her head as she listened to Johnny. "Go and talk to her." She nodded. "I mean it - go and tell her that you want to talk to her right now. You don't leave someone like her to fester with it all for too long." She laughed as she shook her head. River had been pretty annoyed with Scott and she definitely had wanted him to talk to her. She was sure that Hettie was the same with Johnny, only more so.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb thought he was pretty useless when it came to this sort of stuff so he was definitely glad that he had River there to give Johnny advice, "Listen to the girl I guess." He shrugged his shoulders. He knew that he couldn't exactly say anything. He hadn't spoke to Audrey all day after all. He laughed as he looked down at the can. "Rivers too aggressive, that's what it is."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "You're a little pruney but that's alright." Ashton laughed as he shrugged his shoulders. He had loved his day with Audrey. He had, had fun with Betsy the day before but there was something about being around Audrey that just made him happy. It was different from the day before and he definitely liked that. He liked being around her. "Thank you." He laughed with a nod, slumping into one of the chairs.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie rolled her eyes as Scott spoke. She appreciated him being there, talking to her and trying to cheer her up, but she was in a mood and she didn't think she would be changing that any time soon. Especially not until Johnny had spoken to her about their argument. The fact he hadn't was just making her mood worse. "I'm obviously not going to go, Scott. Knock it off." She knew that he was trying to help but she didn't like it.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa looked at the food and pursed her lips a little. Really, she had no idea if that was all done but she thought so. "I think?" She was a little cautious with it all though. She had no idea why she had offered to cook but here she was anyway. "Betsy, what do you think?" She called over to the other. She thought that she had been on her own for enough today, she wanted to get her involved a little bit more.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac nodded his head, "Yeah, it's really good so far. I should finish it on the way home I think. That is - If I don't have to listen to all the singing again." He laughed as he shook his head slightly. He liked that the others were excitable but he definitely preferred a little peace and quiet on his car journies.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "What?! Did you not just hear me explain where talking to her got me before?" Johnny asked with a little laugh. He just didn't think it would do any good, Hettie seemed to be in a worse mood than before and he didn't want to ruin everything even further. "Definitely too aggressive." He laughed, looking at her to show he was teasing. "What would you do?" He asked Caleb with a raise of an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It'll go, it's fine. We'll pretend for now." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She was glad it was still pretty warm, because she seemed to be drying off a lot quicker than the day before and she didn't fancy being cold all night. She smiled as he practically fell into one of the chairs, sitting cross-legged in another one. "Good day?" She asked with a smile. He definitely seemed in a better mood than yesterday and she liked the thought that it might be down to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'm just saying." Scott shrugged his shoulders. He wouldn't care much about going home now, if he was honest - in fact, he thought he'd probably quite like it. He still felt like people were blaming him for River going AWOL last night and he hated that. He wasn't sure what to do to cheer Hettie up, which frustrated him because usually he always knew. But it wasn't like he could change the cast list.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy looked up as Alyssa called her name, raising an eyebrow. If she was honest, she'd been perfectly happy on her own - she liked the groups company, but she was shattered after last night and wasn't really with it. She walked over to look at the food, shaking her head. "Needs a bit longer, I think. It's still kind of pink." She laughed, taking a closer look. She thought it was nice of Alyssa to try and involve her, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "See, that's why we shouldn't be the ones doing this." Lucy laughed as Betsy spoke, shrugging her shoulders. She wasn't a bad cook at all, but she had never really cooked meat before and it was puzzling her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Were they really singing for the whole two hours?" Seth laughed, raising an eyebrow - although with that car full of people, he could definitely imagine it. "You can come in our car on the way back, if you want? There'll be no singing - I promise." He smiled. He knew Alyssa would be absolutely fine with them taking Isaac back with them.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I heard you." River nodded her head. "But trust me. You should talk to her. She's in a bad mood. Which means if you don't talk to her soon, she'll just make the fight out to be worse than it was in her head. That's just how it goes." She shrugged. River thought that she was a pretty good read of people and she was almost certain that she knew this. "I am not aggressive." River laughed with a shake of her head,
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb shrugged as Johnny turned the question to him, "I'm not sure you want my advice. Audrey hasn't spoke to me all day, has she?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He thought that the longer the other was left with Scott or Ashton, the harder it was to break but Caleb didn't want to interrupt that. He wanted his friend to interrupt the other two though. "River probably knows better than either of us."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Yeah. And I heard you." Hettie knew that it wasn't fair. He was just trying to help. She liked Scott a lot, he was probably who she would say was her best friend, but she found it hard sometimes. Both of them desperately wanted to impress their parents but neither would ever really admit it. "I'll be back in a bit." Hettie muttered. She stood up and marched over to Johnny. If he wasn't going to go to her, then she would go to him. "Can we go for a walk?" She asked him, her arms crossed over her chest with a sigh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Pretend? Alright, we'll pretend." Ashton nodded. He couldn't believe that Audrey had gotten him in the water again but, he supposed, she could get him to do just about anything. He moved his chair a little closer to Audreys and he nodded his head, "Yeah. Really good. You?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a small smile.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa laughed as Betsy said that it looked a little laugh, "That is definitely why we should not be in charge. We were gonna serve it." She shook her head. Alyssa was good at a lot of things, cooking was not one of them. She smiled as she looked at Betsy, "Have you had a good day?" She asked. She didn't like that she didn't seem to have many people in the group and Alyssa wanted to make sure she knew that she could come to her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "The whole two hours." Isaac nodded. "I thought they were gonna stop when they got the snacks out. But nope. They just sang with food in their mouths." He didn't think that he was a killjoy. He just liked to not have to fight to keep his thoughts. "You really wouldn't mind?" Isaac asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a smile. "Maybe lucy too?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You should talk to her, mate. If I'm gonna talk to Hettie." Johnny raised an eyebrow - he didn't want to be the only one putting himself in an awkward position, that was for sure. "Okay, I'll talk to her..." He nodded his head, genuinely about to get up as Hettie marched over to him. "Uh - yeah, of course we can. Yeah." He nodded his head, getting up and standing beside her. "I was just going to come and talk to you." He told her with a little smile as they started to walk.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head as Hettie said she would be back soon; he assumed she was going over to Johnny and of course, he was right. He really didn't see what it was that Hettie saw in Johnny. He thought he was so weird - he had such a childish sense of humour and always made a fool out of himself. He was nothing like any of their friends from college.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Just for a little bit." Audrey smiled, shrugging her shoulders. She knew she probably wasn't making any sense, but she didn't think he cared and she liked that. She smiled as he moved his chair closer than hers, leaning against his slightly. "Really good." She repeated with a nod of her head. She still felt bad about Hettie and she wished they could talk, but she knew it wasn't the time.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, don't serve that. You'll give everybody food poisoning." Betsy laughed, raising an eyebrow. She thought Alyssa was a really sweet girl - they had nothing in common, but she could tell she was lovely. "Yeah, it's been fine. To be honest, I'm fucking shattered after yesterday. Barely slept." She hadn't minded, she wanted to be awake with River, but she was paying for it. "I can't wait to go to bed." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Bloody hell... How do they have the energy?" Seth laughed. He would've hated being in that car - his and Alyssa's journey seemed so calm by comparison. "Ew, that's gross!" He laughed. "No, of course not - we only drove in late because we went out, it's not a problem to drive you back. And Lucy too. I hear she almost killed Scott on the way here." He laughed at the very thought.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb shrugged again. He didn't see much point. It was clear that Audrey was interested in Ashton and Caleb didn't really want to get in the way of that. If she didn't like him in that way then that was fine. He wasn't going to force something that wasn't there. That was never his style. He chuckled as Hettie came over. He wasn't exactly her biggest fan but he definitely liked her style.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Speak of the devil." River muttered as Hettie came over, once again leaving Scott on his own. She wanted to go over to him but she didn't want to look too keen. She nodded her head at him, indicating for him to come over, if he wanted. She wasn't going to go to him but he could definitely go to her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie smiled slightly and nodded her head, "Of course you were." She chuckled. She wasn't really sure what she had to say to Johnny, she had thought that she had already said it all but she didn't like not talking to him. "Okay, so spell it out. Last night. What did I do wrong, what did you not like? Just tell me." She'd rather know and at least then know not to do it in the future.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Oh wow. okay." Alyssa laughed nervously, "it's a very good job that you're here." She knew that she and Betsy didn't really have much in common but the people that she did, weren't exactly bothering with her so she wanted to. "You can go for a nap, if you want? I can - attempt to keep your food warm?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I have no idea but I was exhausted, just by sitting next to them." Isaac laughed. He liked the quiet. The four people he shared the car with, clearly did not and he was looking forward to not having to share with them on the way back now. "that sounds great. Thank you."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny looked back at Caleb and River for a second before they started walking - he didn't want them to think he was just running off, but obviously he needed and wanted to talk to Hettie. "It's nothing you did wrong, Hettie. I was probably being a bit sensitive, I just wanted to say that I was really happy last night after what happened with us and then to see you having spent the night with Scott was a bit of a slap in the face. Obviously something is or has been going on with you guys and that's none of my business. But it felt a little bit like, I don't know - like a second choice." he shrugged his shoulders. He had to be honest.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Thanks." Betsy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She didn't want Alyssa to think she had to work to include her; she liked that she was trying, but she was fine with her own company too. "Nah, it's fine - probably better that I go to sleep tonight before they all start and then it won't keep me awake." She laughed, nodding her head towards the others.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I bet!" Seth chuckled. He couldn't imagine having to put up with that for over two hours and Isaac was even more quiet than he was. "No problem. Honestly, I feel like there'll be a bit of car swapping on the way back anyway." He shrugged his shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott looked up as River indicated for him to come over, chewing on his lip as he hesitated for a while... But then he went. He thought it was pretty nice of her to even want him over there, so he wasn't going to turn it down. "Fun day?" he asked her with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie really tried to listen to Johnny as he spoke this time. She really tried to not be so defensive about it all this time. "I am really happy about what happened last night too." She nodded. She had enjoyed herself with Johnny and she really hadn't been able to stop thinking about him for most of the day. "But nothing happened between me and Scott last night. I think what I'm trying to get at is that - Whatever is or isn't going on between me and Scott, we're friends first. Always have been. So I guess I didn't think of it from where you stand."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa smiled. She didn't think that it felt like work to include Betsy, she just wanted to make sure that the other felt included. She thought that they were two different things. "Oh yeah - that's probably a good idea, actually. Least you could be fast on before any drama, right?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac really liked Audrey and the others but he was so different to them, he found it exhausting to be around sometimes. He definitely found it easier to be around Lucy, Seth and Alyssa, that was for sure. "Oh yeah?" Isaac asked, "Like who?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River smiled slightly as Scott came over to her. She didn't think it was fair of everyone to blame him for the night before. She had been the one to start the fight, she had been the one to go outside in the middle of the night. She didn't think that Scott was to blame at all. "Yeah. It's been good. Have you had a good night?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow,
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I know - I know nothing happened, that's just how it felt." Johnny nodded his head. "I guess I didn't really see it from your point of view either - and obviously I can't tell you who to be friends with and I would never. Scott's great." He shrugged his shoulders. He didn't necessarily get on with him, but he didn't think he was a bad guy. "I really hated not talking to you today." He admitted with a little laugh, shrugging his shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy laughed, nodding her head. "Yeah, that's exactly the plan. After last night, I think I'll literally disintegrate if there's anymore drama. I'm not used to it." She shook her head. "Turn them over." She pointed at the burgers and then to the spatula in the other girls hand.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Well, I can definitely see Johnny and Ashton swapping with each other?" Seth suggested. He thought it was pretty obvious, those two would want to be in the other cars. "Although I don't know if Scott and Johnny would want to ride together." He chuckled. He couldn't imagine that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Good - it looked like you were having fun." Scott nodded his head. He'd liked that she'd been able to have a good day - he'd wanted her to be able to. "It's been alright." He shrugged his shoulders. Mostly, he'd been sat with Hettie, trying to cheer her up. It seemed that Johnny had managed that in minutes, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Back in a sec," Audrey muttered as she finally saw Caleb sitting on his own. It wasn't so much that she wanted to apologise to him for last night, it was just that it felt weird having not spoken all day and she wanted things to be okay. "Hey!" She smiled as she went to sit next to him. "Congratulations on your part!"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie was really trying. She knew that she would never take it if someone told her that she couldn't be friends with Scott. That was a sure fire way for them to get gone. She had dumped boys for much less. "He's great? Did I actually just hear you say that?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She took his hand then, "I didn't like not talking to you either." It felt easy to be honest with him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Well, I'll make sure that you're not gonna have to deal with all of that if it happens tonight." Alyssa nodded her head with a laugh. "Do you just want to do it?" She asked with a laugh, holding out the spatula to Betsy. She thought that the other was much better at this than she was.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac contemplated the idea for a second before he shook his head, "Yeah, no. I don't think that Scott would actually make it all the way home with Johnny in the car." He laughed slightly. He didn't think he would ever be like that, even if someone was in the car that he didn't like.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "It's hard not to with those two being idiots." River laughed. She had really enjoyed herself with Johnny and Caleb that day. She tilted her head a little as she looked at him for a second, "You should've joined us." She smiled. "You might've had a bit more than an alright day if you had joined us."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb raised an eyebrow as Audrey came over to him and he smiled slightly, "Hey! Thanks, you too." He smiled. He was really excited about Rock of Ages, and he knew that Audrey was going to be amazing too.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "He's... Great. For some people." Johnny rephrased, unable to help laughing as Hettie pulled him up on it. He smiled as she took his hand, squeezing hers gently. "Yeah?" He laughed, raising an eyebrow. "So we just - forget about it now, yeah?" He hoped they could, because they had both admitted their parts and that was that, for him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You're an angel." Betsy laughed, nodding her head. She often found it hard being part of a group with so many big personalities when she wasn't used to it, but that wasn't to say she didn't like the people. "Yeah, that's probably best. Watch and learn." She laughed, taking the spatula and flipping the food.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Me either - and I don't want Johnny to die." Seth laughed, shaking his head. He did wonder what was going to happen there though - the two of them seemed to have made up now. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see what tonight will bring, don't we?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott found it hard to let go and have fun like they had today, in case he looked like an idiot - but River kind of made him forget about that. "Maybe tomorrow, before we go." He laughed. "Had to be with Hettie today. Wasn't best pleased with the cast list." He shrugged his shoulders.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Audrey was glad as Caleb at least smiled at her; she really didn't want him to be mad at her. "Thanks! I can't wait." She smiled - she thought he was going to be amazing at his role. "I bet you're buzzing, yeah? You even beat Milo." She laughed, raising an eyebrow.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie laughed and nodded her head, "Yeah, that sounds more like it." She loved Scott but she knew that he wasn't everyones cup of tea. Just like she wasn't. She hadn't met any of Johnnys friends but she was sure that they wouldn't like it. "Yeah. We can forget it." She nodded her head slightly. She still wasn't sure if she had done anything wrong but she wasn't about to fight him anymore. She wanted things to be good with him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Thank you!" Alyssa beamed. Like Betsy, Alyssa wasn't used to people like this group. But she had managed to find a decent group of friends. She hoped that Betsy had at least one of those. "Time for the professional to take over, right?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Yeah, you and me both." Isaac smiled. He was definitely curious by all of this but he thought that things were going to kick off sooner rather than later and he was definitely worried about that. "Yeah, i guess so." He laughed with a nod of his head.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Rive nodded, "Yes. Tomorrow sounds perfect to me. We'll have a game of piggy in the middle or something." She laughed. She wanted Scott to be able to let his hair down a little bit. She thought that he deserved some down time too. "Yeah - I saw..."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb was so excited and he was sure that Audrey was too. He just felt a little weird around her. "I can't believe it." Caleb laughed with a shake of his head. He thought that Milo was so funny, and Caleb didn't know if he would stand up to it.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "You said he was great till I pushed so you're not that honest." Hettie laughed slightly as she nudged him. She almost felt bad for cheering up when she was with Johnny and Scott had been trying all day. But part of the reason she was so annoyed was because she and Johnny were on bad terms. "Well - it's a good job that you don't have too." She smiled. "Do you wanna go for a swim? Just me and you?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa nodded slightly, "Oh but that's pretty cool. I always find them to be the best kind of dads." She laughed. Hers was always too busy to actually be a barbecue kind of dad. "It still tastes nice though. I think that barbecue food is the best kind of food."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac wasn't sure if things were going to kick off while they were all still in Spelling Bee... but he had no idea if that was actually going to happen. It definitely felt like a storm was brewing. "Lets hope so." He laughed. "I'm sorry, alright! I'd give you the ear plugs tonight if that wasn't completely gross."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "You've never played piggy in the middle?" River asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She found that almost sad but she wasn't about to say anything like that to him. "We're definitely playing it tomorrow. i'll get you loosened up." She laughed with a nod of her head. "Is she okay?" Hettie might not like her but that didn't mean that River wanted her to be upset.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Caleb just felt like there had been some crossed wires and while, he was trying to not let it bother him, he was just finding it kind of difficult. "I don't look at is as though it'll be hell. it's gonna be fun! An adventure." Caleb shrugged his shoulder.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I was trying out politeness, but obviously it's not working." Johnny laughed, shrugging his shoulders. He knew that Hettie had been upset about the cast list, but he didn't want to bring it up now she seemed to be in a better mood. He smiled as she asked him to go and swim, nodding his head. "Yeah, I'd really like that." He would love to spend time with just her, for a little bit.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "He's a pretty good dad, yeah. Loves to barbecue." Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes. She had no idea what the families of the other people here were like and it struck her that really, they didn't know much about each other at all. "Yeah, I think so too - everything tastes better on a barbecue." She laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, it's a lovely gesture but I definitely don't want your used earplugs." Seth laughed, raising an eyebrow. "I'm sure things wont be so bad tonight, so hopefully I'll get a good nights sleep - or I'll go in the car." He smiled. He certainly hoped there was no drama tonight, anyway.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "No, I don't even know what it is." Scott laughed, shaking his head. "We'll have to get up early, then. Just to play piggy in the middle." He laughed, rolling his eyes. He would look forward to it though, if they did. "Yeah, she'll be alright... Seems fine now." He sighed. Johnny seemed to be a lot better at that than him.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's a way better way to look at it. No more hell. Only adventures." Audrey laughed, but it fell slightly short. It was so obvious to her that things were a little bit weird and she didn't want to just ignore that. "So... things are weird, yeah?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Nah. I don't buy your fake politeness." Hettie shook her head. She knew that Scott would be thinking about her cheering up with Johnny, that's why she felt a little bad about it. Though she wasn't about to say anything about it. She nodded her head. "Come on. It's just up here." She smiled. It wasn't long till the two of them got to the clearing.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That's really nice." Alyssa smiled. She wasn't sure if she had ever actually had many family events. She loved her parents but they had always been pretty busy. She was still surprised by how little they all knew one another. "Absolutely does!"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Good. Because I don't think I could cope without them anymore." Isaac laughed. He shrugged his shoulders then, "I dunno. We can hope so but I guess we just have to see, you know?" Isaac asked with a raise of an eyebrow.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River nodded, "Set your alarm! We're playing in the morning." She smiled at Scott. She couldn't believe that he had missed out on playing something as childish as that. She definitely hoped that he would have fun. "They had a fight or something...clearly they've made up now.."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Exactly! That's basically my outlook on life." Caleb laughed with a nod of his head. He sighed as she spoke again. He really didn't want to make things feel awkward nor did he really want to talk about it. "I dunno. It's all good, Audrey."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Even though he'd had a good day with his friends, this was the happiest Johnny had felt so far - and he knew it was because he was getting to spend time with Hettie. It was pretty cold, but he didn't care. "I'll race you in?" He laughed, raising an eyebrow.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Betsy was one of those people who already had a solid group of friends, so getting along with the people in the musical was just a bonus - she could never see the friends intermingling, though. "Okay, I think they're done!"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "At least you know you'll be getting a good sleep again - and then a quieter car journey?" Seth chuckled, raising an eyebrow. He nodded his head as Isaac spoke. "Things certainly seem to be calmer anyway, don't they?" He shrugged his shoulders. He liked that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I'll let you be my alarm, how's that? You can make sure I get up." Scott laughed. He wasn't even meaning to be flirty, he just knew that he would end up turning off an alarm on his phone. "Yeah, seems like it, doesn't it?" He shrugged his shoulders. He didn't really want to talk about it, if he was honest.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "It's a good outlook. Better than being terrified." Audrey laughed, although she wasn't really all that scared - what would happen would happen, she thought. Two of her A-Levels were practical, anyway. "Are you sure? I just don't - want things to be weird." She sighed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: It wasn't often that the two of them got to spend some time as a pair, even their dates had been double recently. Hettie definitely liked getting to know Caleb and Audrey a little more but she was glad to be spending more time alone with Johnny. The blonde laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "You're on!" She called, quickly removing her jeans and top. There was no way she was about to get them wet.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa liked to get to know people. She liked to know people from all different walks of life. And Betsy definitely seemed very different from her and her friends so Alyssa couldn't help but be curious about her. "Oh, perfect!" She smiled. "Who wants some food?" She called to the others.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Sounds good." River laughed with a nod of her head. "Though I'm definitely not sharing with you tonight." She nudged him. River knew that she shouldn't and, even though the two of them were good now, she felt a little strange about it all still. She wasn't someone who held a grudge and it wasn't him that made her feel weird at all, she just thought that she had made a fool out of herself, something which was a new feeling for her. "I guess you're not wanting to talk about that, huh?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Thank goodness, honestly. Things are looking up." Isaac laughed with a nod of his head. He was definitely enjoying himself now. He felt so at ease around Seth and isaac couldn't appreciate that more. "For now, anyway."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Exactly. Being terrified gets you nowhere." Caleb laughed. He knew that, when it came down to it, he would probably be nervous but the excited kind of nerves. He couldn't wait to get on that stage. "Yeah. Audrey, it's all good. I was just a little surprised, that's all."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed as Hettie started to get undressed, stripping down himself and racing her into the lake. He always had so much fun with her and he thought she did too - he liked seeing her be able to have fun with him. "How did you beat me?!" He laughed as she got to the water first, shaking his head. He'd enjoyed all the time they'd spent with Caleb and Audrey, but he definitely preferred just him and her right now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Get yours first - perks of being the chef." Betsy laughed, raising an eyebrow as she put her own food onto a plate and passed one to Alyssa. She was so used to not being around girls that she felt she pushed them away sometimes and she was trying to make an effort not to do that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, I kind of thought that would be the case, you know?" Scott laughed, raising an eyebrow. He was under no assumption that he and River would be sharing tonight and he didn't think it was a good idea, anyway. He shrugged his shoulders. "It's not exactly my favourite topic, is it?" He thought it was pretty obvious why he wouldn't want to talk about Hettie and Johnny. Johnny seemed to make her so much happier than he did.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed, nodding his head. He liked that there was someone here with a similar mindset to him. "The big tent is a great idea, but I think next time - maybe we should all just go in smaller ones?" He shrugged his shoulders. He'd definitely like a bit more privacy, that was for sure. "I'll have some, please!" He called over to Alyssa with a smile. He honestly hadn't even noticed them cooking, but he was definitely starving now he could smell the food.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You should be a motivational speaker." Audrey laughed, nudging him gently. She was desperate for things to be the way they were - they had so much fun together and he was one of her closest friends in the group. "I really didn't - I didn't mean for it to be a shock or anything, I didn't know it was going to happen."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny laughed as Hettie started to get undressed, stripping down himself and racing her into the lake. He always had so much fun with her and he thought she did too - he liked seeing her be able to have fun with him. "How did you beat me?!" He laughed as she got to the water first, shaking his head. He'd enjoyed all the time they'd spent with Caleb and Audrey, but he definitely preferred just him and her right now.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Get yours first - perks of being the chef." Betsy laughed, raising an eyebrow as she put her own food onto a plate and passed one to Alyssa. She was so used to not being around girls that she felt she pushed them away sometimes and she was trying to make an effort not to do that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, I kind of thought that would be the case, you know?" Scott laughed, raising an eyebrow. He was under no assumption that he and River would be sharing tonight and he didn't think it was a good idea, anyway. He shrugged his shoulders. "It's not exactly my favourite topic, is it?" He thought it was pretty obvious why he wouldn't want to talk about Hettie and Johnny. Johnny seemed to make her so much happier than he did.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth laughed, nodding his head. He liked that there was someone here with a similar mindset to him. "The big tent is a great idea, but I think next time - maybe we should all just go in smaller ones?" He shrugged his shoulders. He'd definitely like a bit more privacy, that was for sure. "I'll have some, please!" He called over to Alyssa with a smile. He honestly hadn't even noticed them cooking, but he was definitely starving now he could smell the food.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "You should be a motivational speaker." Audrey laughed, nudging him gently. She was desperate for things to be the way they were - they had so much fun together and he was one of her closest friends in the group. "I really didn't - I didn't mean for it to be a shock or anything, I didn't know it was going to happen."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie laughed as she beat Johnny to the water. She knew that other people might feel a little self conscious like this with a boy but not Hettie. It didn't matter to her what Johnny thought of her body, she liked it and that was all she thought mattered. "I'm magic, didn't you know?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She was definitely enjoying herself now.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa shook her head, "No, honestly. I can wait. I'm still kind of full from lunch." Alyssa laughed. She held out what Betsy had passed her, to Seth and then plated some up for Isaac, "Here you go." She smiled. "You should get some, though Betsy. I think I've got it from here." She smiled at the other.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That's good. Long as we're on the same page." River smiled as she nodded her head slightly. She knew that he was troubled but River really liked Scott as a person. She thought that he was much better than people seemed to think that he was. She never understood not giving people enough time to show them who they were. "You know you can talk about it though. If you want to. I'm not going to judge, nor am I going to tell anyone."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac nodded his head, "Yeah, smaller tents is a must. But then I still don't know if that will drown out the noise of most of this lot." He shook his head slightly. He didn't know how people dared do stuff with that many people in the same tent. He smiled slightly as Alyssa gave him some food, "thank you."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Ah - see. Maybe I will. You know me. I go with the flow." Caleb laughed. "I know that too. And I know that you don't owe me anything. It's all good. Like I keep saying." He smiled. He genuinely meant it and there was zero bitterness in his tone as he spoke to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Magic?" Johnny asked with a laugh, wincing slightly at how cold the water was. "I wouldn't even struggle to believe that." He chuckled. He thought Hettie could probably do just about anything. Her confidence was definitely something that was attractive to him, but then again he didn't think she had a reason not to be confident - she was probably the most gorgeous person he'd ever seen.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Are you sure?" Betsy raised an eyebrow, but she shrugged her shoulders and passed the plates around anyway. She grabbed her own and smiled gratefully at Alyssa before she went off to sit and eat. After last nights drama, she was already ready to go home - it surprised her how quickly the others seemed to have recovered.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott nodded his head. "Yeah, I know. But I don't want to. Thanks." He shrugged his shoulders. There wasn't any part of him that desired to talk about he and Hettie to anybody, not even to Hettie. He didn't know what page he was on and he didn't think he ever would - he wouldn't know what to do without her and the idea of losing her friendship was too much for him to handle.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "We could pitch them far apart. A good five metre distance." Seth laughed. Like Isaac, he had no idea where people found the audacity to do anything like that with so many people around them. He didn't judge, but he did wonder. And he was definitely hoping to get a little bit more sleep tonight.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Of course you do. You remind me of the turtle from Finding Nemo. The big one - Crush, is it?" Audrey laughed, raising an eyebrow. She thought that was a pretty perfect analogy for him. "I know you keep saying it, but I don't want you to feel like you have to." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. "Do you want me to leave you alone now?" She asked. She wouldn't be offended if she said yes, she didn't want to make him feel more awkward than before.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie smiled and nodded her head. "I'm glad that you think so. I can do absolutely anything." She shrugged her shoulders slightly as she spoke. Hettie had no idea where she would ever draw the line with Scott and she had no idea if she would ever be done with him. But she was definitely enjoying the time that she spent with Johnny. She knew that much.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa nodded her head, "Of course." she laughed. She had never really eaten much so the snacks throughout the day would've been enough .She knew that she needed to eat something, and she would, just a little later
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River smiled, "I know. Offers always there though." No matter her feelings, if she cared about someone, she would be there for them no matter what. She wanted to do that for Scott too. Even though she didn't really have any idea of what he thought about her.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "That sounds like heaven." Isaac nodded. He knew that the others probably didn't even care, he just didn't understand. "You and Alyssa looked cosy though? I'm glad you sorted stuff out."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Oh I love that! Yeah, I crush." Caleb laughed with a nod of his head. He hadn't heard that one before but he definitely liked it. "I don't. Honestly, it's all good. You can do what you want to do, Audrey. It's fine." He smiled at her. Coming from anyone else, it probably would've sounded a little snarky but Caleb absolutely meant everything he said to her. "I don't mind. You can stay if you want."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I really don't doubt it." Johnny smiled, looking over at her with a little shake of her head. Nothing she did would surprise him, at this point. He thought she was amazing. He wanted to bring up the cast list, but he thought he would leave that to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I know -- and.. thanks. A lot." Scott nodded his head. He couldn't believe how good of a person you had to be to not only forgive someone instantly, but to offer to be there for them in practically the same breath. Nobody else he knew would be even a little bit like that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Doesn't it? That's like, the idea set up. Getting to see everybody in the daytime, but being far away in the night." Seth laughed, shaking his head. "Yeah, me too - just took a conversation." He chuckled. He was really happy with how things had gone.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "He's perfect for you. And I'm the little one, what's that one called?" Audrey laughed at the comparison, her brow furrowing as she tried to think of the turtles name. She smiled back at him as he spoke; she knew he was genuine and she loved that. "Okay - yeah, I will. I'll stay." She smiled.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie smiled at him. She really never thought that she would get along with someone like Johnny. He was so nice and he was funny but he definitely wasn't like the people that she would usually hang out with. he had caught her by surprise but she liked that. She liked that he was so different from everyone she knew. "I could stay here all day." She whispered with a shake of her head. She didn't even care that she was cold.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River shrugged her shoulders, "It's what friends are supposed to do, right?" It made her sad that Scott seemed so surprised by things that were so natural to her. She and her friends were never angry for long. She was best friends with her ex girlfriend even after she had broken her heart. It wasn't a big deal to her at all. She couldn't believe that Scott had all those friends and none would do the same for him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac nodded his head, "Sounds like bliss." He didn't know if they would come camping again but he had, had a lot of fun. Surprisingly. He was definitely glad that he had come, especially after the initial anxiety. "That's what most of it takes, right?"
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Oh man - er - Is it Squirt?" Caleb asked. He shook his head ever so slightly. Caleb wasn't one to find a problem in things very often. If people had a problem with him, then that was, usually, just on them. It took a lot to actually get him angry. And usually, it was if someone upset a friend of his. "Awesome!" Caleb laughed, "You missed out on piggy in the middle earlier."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny had never really been with anybody like Hettie before - he had had girlfriends and boyfriends, but none like her. His ex-girlfriend, especially had been a lot to deal with and Hettie seemed so in control that it was something he was natural curious of. "With me?" He asked with a little smile, swimming over to her.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Yeah, I guess so. Dunno. I think we have different types of friends." Scott shrugged his shoulders. It was the closest he'd come to admitting that his friends weren't real friends - apart from Hettie, he thought they mostly hung out together because it looked good, because people were intimidated by them. He didn't think he had many people he could actually count on, but he would never ever say that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Seth doubted that they would be camping again anytime soon, but he was sure it wouldn't be the last time they had an event with a sleepover and he didn't feel as afraid of staying out as he had before. He'd still prefer his own bed, but he thought he might give it a try next time. Maybe. "Yeah, for sure. It's pretty easy to forget that though, when you're in the middle of something." He shrugged his shoulders. He was so glad he and Alyssa had decided to talk it out, though.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's the one! I'm Squirt." Audrey laughed, nodding her head. She liked how chilled out Caleb was even now, even when they'd not even properly discussed anything - they didn't need to. They were fine. And she didn't think Ashton would mind her being over here, anyway. "Oh, what?! I did?" She pulled a shocked face. "Fuck, I love piggy in the middle. Nobody ever likes being in the middle but honestly, I live for it. The feeling when you catch the ball and nobody expects you to? Unbeatable." She laughed.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie had, had a lot of boyfriends but other than the occasional nice one, none of them were really any good. It was why Johnny had taken her so by surprise. Hettie rolled her eyes but nodded her head at the same time. "Yes, with you." She hoped that the two of them could spend the night tonight, the whole night. She really had enjoyed herself the night before and she didn't want anything to get in the way of that tonight.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "I think that we do too..." River muttered with a nod of her head. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Scott. She thought that it must be lonely to feel like you couldn't turn to someone in your hour of need. "Well, you have a friend like mine now, you have me. And that means I'll be here for whatever you need." She shrugged her shoulders. River didn't really think there was much to forgive. She had been upset but he apologised and she knew he meant it. She didn't need anymore than that.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Isaac knew that they would all do more stuff together he just wasn't sure what that would be right now. He was definitely looking forward to finding out though. Isaac had a couple of really good friends and now Seth was definitely counted among them.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Yes! I love that. Though that means you're my son and that's a bit weird." Caleb laughed as he shook his head slightly. He had never seen the point in letting things get to you too much. Things happened and that was how it was. He would never hold it against someone if they decided they wanted to spend time with someone else. Like he had already said to Audrey, he was just surprised. "Where the hell were you? We can try and play tomorrow morning? Before we go home?"
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny smiled as Hettie confirmed that she meant with him - it was nice to hear that she actually thought of him as an option. He wasn't a person who lacked confidence, not usually, but he found Hettie pretty hard to read. "So you'll stay with me again tonight?" He smiled slightly, raising an eyebrow. He hoped so, anyway. And he hoped this would be the start of them seeing more of each other when they got home.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott was, honestly, quite used to being lonely. He was used to only having Hettie to turn to, so knowing there was someone else there was a strange feeling for him. He had plenty of people to have fun with, plenty of people to go out with - but nobody to actually speak to. He nodded his head. "Thanks, River." He smiled. He didn't know what else to say, other than that.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Okay, I'm gonna go and see how Alyssa's doing." Seth smiled, patting Isaac on the shoulder as he got up to walk over to the brunette with a smile. "Hey - you're not eating anything?" He asked as he sat down next to her, raising an eyebrow curiously.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "Me too! You're the cool, chilled out one and I'm little and excitable." Audrey laughed, even louder when he said that it would make her his son. "Ew, that is kind of weird. I'll pick a different character." She giggled, shaking her head. "I don't know! Maybe swimming? I can't believe I missed it." She pouted slightly. "I would love that! We'll get up early to make sure we have time."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie didn't like to be too open with people. She liked keeping things close to her chest. She didn't want to be too keen with stuff like this. It was why she had never really told him that she wanted him. She shrugged her shoulders before she smiled. "I guess." She winked at him. Hettie wondered how long it would be until Scott got annoyed at her for being with johnny. She really hoped that he didnt' feel like she was messing with him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River shrugged her shoulders, "Any time." She definitely didn't want Scott to feel like he was on his own. She wanted to be able to help him, no matter what. She just didn't know what else to really say to him. "Alright - so have you discovered anything about people around here this weekend?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Alyssa smiled as she heard Seths voice. "Hey! I'm not too hungry. I think I made myself full with all the snacks." She laughed. She would get something a little later but she definitely wasn't feeling anything right now. "You wolfed it down though, huh?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Absolutely perfect." Caleb nodded his head. He gave Audrey a smile before she spoke again and he laughed along with her. "Maybe Stitch ? You could definitely be stitch." He smiled. He was having a good time talking to her again. "I'm sure that we'll be able to get a little team together. River and Johnny will probably play."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny couldn't help but laugh as Hettie didn't give him a straight answer; he didn't think he'd ever met somebody who kept him on his toes like she did. "So have you been here before, then?" He asked, floating peacefully and looking up at the sky. "Or did you guys just find it online?" He liked it. He would definitely come back.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott smiled as River spoke again; it was like she knew how to try and get his mind off everything without even properly trying. "You know, I don't think I have. Everybody is shaping up to be exactly who I thought they were." He chuckled softly, shaking his head. Nobody had really surprised him yet. Except River.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That would make sense, we did eat a lot of snacks." Seth laughed, nodding his head. He'd always been a pretty hungry person, he was just grateful he had a fast metabolism. "Oh yeah - and I'll probably eat more later." He laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "It's something about being outside, makes me extra hungry."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "I could definitely be Stitch. But I don't want to start talking like him." Audrey laughed, shaking her head. She liked how silly she could be with Caleb. "Or the little green guy from Tangled. Pascal." She grinned. "Perfect! And I can go in the middle?" She smiled as she looked over at him.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hettie never liked to make things easy for anyone. Where she and Scott butted heads over it, Johnny actually seemed to like it. That was definitely something that Hettie noted down in the Johnny pile. She laughed as he asked if she'd been there before. "Do you really think that my parents would've brought me camping?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "No. I'm not sure who found it, actually." She liked not being in charge for once.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River had always been the friend that you would want in your corner. She knew just what you needed without even saying it. That was how she was for her true friends. She smiled as she saw the smile on Scotts face. "And what is that?" She asked, "Tell me what you thought people were. I'm intrigued." She laughed. She wondered if she and scott would have a different outlook on people, probably.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "We did. So I think I might be done until later on and even that's just a maybe." Alyssa laughed. She was used to not having any food in between the main meals, she never really had snacks when she was at home. "Of course you will." She rolled her eyes but she couldn't help but smile slightly. Alyssa laughed again and shook her head, "Are you kidding? You eat this much at home too."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Hmm that is a good point. You definitely talk too much to be stitch. Timone, maybe?" Caleb asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He was trying whatever he could. "Oooh I like Pascal! But he's kinda grumpy. You're not a grump, are you?" He asked with a laughed. Audrey was a lot of fun. That's why he liked being around her so much. "Absolutely."
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Johnny shrugged his shoulders. "I thought everybody had been camping before." He laughed softly - he forgot sometimes that although his family were by no means poor, he and Hettie came from different worlds, practically. It was one of the first times he even thought about the fact that they probably had very different lives. "So you've never even been camping before?" He raised an eyebrow. His family had been a lot when he was a kid - just never to this specific place.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: Scott rolled his eyes as River asked what his thoughts were on people, but he laughed anyway. "I'm not just listing what I think of everyone here." He laughed, shaking his head. "Give me a person, I'll tell you." He shrugged his shoulders. He formed impressions of people quite early on, so he had thoughts on pretty much everybody there.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "God, your willpower is incredible. Even if I'm not hungry, I have to eat when it comes to mealtimes." Seth laughed, shaking his head. He chuckled as she spoke about how much he ate at home, shrugging his shoulders. "Maybe I'm still growing or something? I feel like it'd explain everything." He laughed.
SC AM JM LO SD BA: "That's what I was thinking - hey, I'm not Timone! He's grumpy too." Audrey laughed, pretending to be offended and breaking the act by laughing. "What about - Dory, maybe? She talks a lot." She smiled, shrugging her shoulders. She was so happy that everything seemed to be okay between them. "Yay! I can't wait."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: Hetties parents had taken her all over the world. They never had time to be doing something like camping. It had to be cultured and where they could all be in comfort. It was definitely a life style that Hettie had grown costumed too. "No, i've never been camping. It doesn't seem like something that is very me, does it?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: River shrugged her shoulders, "I dunno..." She looked around at everyone in the vicinity. "Alyssa maybe? Or Seth?" She was so curious about what he thought of these people. Mostly because she thought that it said a lot about a person. She thought that Scott was a good person but she wanted to know what he thought of people who were obviously good, too.
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "It's not willpower. I'm just used to it." Alyssa laughed as she shrugged her shoulders. She found it insane that some people could just eat and eat and eat but she thought that it was sweet. "I think that would make sense but lets hope not. I'm not sure that I could cope if you were even taller. You're already so much taller than me."
HD AK RW CK AM IS: "Okay okay.." Caleb was trying to figure otu what it was that he could make as Audrey. And then she spoke, "Yes! Dory, that's perfect. I like it." He laughed with a nod of his head. He had missed just being able to talk to her and it had only been a day.
