Chapter 3
~Em's POV~
"Thanks so much for working for me today Abbie."I said with a little smile as she handed me my coffee.
I had decided to get myself some coffee before Aimee and her boyfriend came to get me for the camping trip,I was happy to be getting out of there after seeing Kevin the day before.
"It's no problem."She said with a little smile"I need the extra money."
I smiled and said goodbye to her before I headed out the door and down the street towards my house.I took a sip of my coffee as I unlocked my front door and walked inside to get my bags together at the front door so that I would be ready for when Aimee and her boyfriend got there.
As soon as I heard a knock on the door I grabbed my i-pod and bags as I headed to the door.
"Hey."Aimee said as I opened the door.
"Hey."I said with a small smile as I walked out the door locking it behind me as we both headed towards the car,I put my bags into the back before I got into the backseat of the car and we headed off.I put my headphones on as I watched out the window,I turned my i-pod on shuffle before I leaned against the window and slowly closed my eyes.
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
This was a song that Kevin had recorded for me after my parents had died,I had forgotten I stuck songs from him on here,I took a deep breathe as I listened to his voice.
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But, then your circle of friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
I felt tears come to my eyes as I thought about Kevin and how he was there for me after my parents had died and then what I had done to him.
I quickly wiped the tears away and changed the song to something different.
~Kevin's POV~
"Thanks for watching Frankie."I said smiling at Angela as she walked out the door with us"Mom and dad should be back later tonight unless they call and tell you other wise."
"It's really no problem."Angela said as she put her hand on Frankie's shoulder"I love watching this little guys he's so much fun."
I smiled as I got down on my knees so that I was face to face with Frankie.
"Alright you have fun."I said ruffling his hair"And stay out of trouble."
"I will."Frankie said rolling his eyes a little"Bye."
He turned and ran back into the house,I laughed and shook my head as I waved bye to Angela and headed out towards the car,I got into the drivers seat and waited on Mandy,Nick,Joe and Shay to get into the car.Joe and Shay jumped into the backseat leaving one seat open in the front and one in the back.I knew that Mandy and Nick had wanted to sit together and I didn't get why Joe had to sit with Shay.I watched as Nick got into the front seat and crossed his arms a little looking out the window as soon as Mandy got into the back I started to car and headed down the street.
I yawned a little bit as I drove I looked in the rearview mirror to see Joe bouncing up and down in his seat and Shay laughing at him.I rolled my eyes,I still couldn't understand how he could flirt with Shay when he was with Em,I wonder how she felt about it.
I quickly handed Nick my cd holder so that he would put one of my CDS in instead of the music that was playing so that Joe would calm down.
Nick quickly switched the CDs out.
"Hey."Joe said as John Mayer filled the car.
I quickly turned it to the one song that I played over and over again after Em and I broke up or well not really
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh
Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Baby won't you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
"This song is really boring."Joe said as the song ended.
I didn't say anything as I continued to drive the car.
~Em's POV~
"We're here."Jack said as he parked the car.
I smiled a little as I got out of the car to stretch.
Wow it's beautiful out here.
I took a deep breathe taking in all the fresh air.
"So when are the others going to be here?"I asked as I turned to face Aimee and Jack.
"Well they left about the same time we did so they should be here any minute now."Aimee said as she started to get things out of the car"Jack and I are going to go ahead and set the girls tent up."
I nodded my head as I leaned against the car and closed my eyes.
I heard somone pull up but I didn't bother to open my eyes because I knew it was the others and Joe would probably be coming over to kiss me at any minute.
"Em."I heard him yell before I felt him run over and pick me up,I laughed a little as I opened my eyes and he kissed me quickly before setting me down a little too quickly because I lost my balance and ended up falling backwards into someones arms,whoever had caught me sent a chill down my spine,I quickly looked up to see Kevin.
"Kevin."I said quickly getting out of his grasp.
~Kevin's POV~
As I drove to the spot where we usually camped out at when we were with the famly and parked the car I felt my heart skip a beat because Em was standing there her eyes closed as she listened to her i-pod,I glared at Nick.He shrugged his shoulders as we got out of the car.
"Em."Joe yelled as he ran over to her picking her up,I heard her laugh a little befor he quickly sat her down,she lost her balance as he did and well I couldn't just let her fall so I ended up catching her.
"Kevin."She said quickly getting out of my grasp when she noticed it was me.
"Come on Em let's go for a walk."Joe said taking her hand as she nodded and walked off with him.
I sighed as I watched them walk away.
"I thought you said she had to work."I said as I turned to Nick who was helping Mandy unload the car.
"Come on Kevin,it was the only way that I could get you to come along."Nick said as him and Mandy walked off towards the camping spot,I sighed and got the rest of the bags before Shay and I followed after them.
This is going to be a long camping trip.
