Chapter 4
Joe and I walked hand in hand through the small path in the woods but my mind was on something else,Kevin.I sighed a little as I glanced at Joe he was looking ahead a small frown on his lips.
"Are you ok?"I asked softly.
He quickly looked at me and smiled.
"Yeah I'm fine."He said as he stopped and leaned over kissing me softly.
I kissed him back gently as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him,I pulled away when he did.
"We should head back."I said softly and he nodded as he took my hand and we turned around"So when did Kevin decide he was coming on this camping trip?"
"When Nick asked him to."Joe said as he glanced at me and shook his head"He didn't know that your were going to be here because Nick didn't tell him."
I nodded slowly as we came up to the clearing where our campsite was.
"Why are there three tents?"I asked"I thought us girls were sharing one and then the boys were."
Joe shrugged.
"Why don't we find out?"He said as we walked over to where Nick and Mandy were sitting at the campfire and talking vene though the fire wasn't lit.
They both looked up at us when we sat down across from them on a log.
"What's with the third tent."I said softly"I thought we only needed two."
Mandy bit her lip as she got up and motnioned for me to follow her,I slowly got out of Joes grasp as I followed her over to the side.
"We don't have enough room in our tents so you and Kevin have to share a tent."She said softly.
"What!?"I asked as I looked at her in shock,she couldn't be serious about that"Mandy,you know I can't do that."
"Please Em for me."She said as she glanced over at the boys,Kevin had joined them now along with Shay.
"Why would you want me to stay in a tent with him?"I asked as she looked back at me.
"Em,you two are meant to be together."She said sighing a little"Even if niether of you can see that because of everything that's happened between you."
I bit my lip and looked down at my feet,she was telling the truth about how Kevin and I weren't meant to be together because I felt it.
"Fine."I said softly sighing as I looked up at her"But there's no way your going to be able to convise him."
"It's already done."She said with a little smile as she headed back towards the others.
I sighed as I crossed my arms and followed behind her.
~Kevin's POV~
I watched Em as she talked with Mandy and I figured that Mandy was telling her about sharing a tent with me,I hoped that she would agree.Nick had come to me after Joe and Em had gone off on a walk and asked if I was ok with sharing a tent with Em.I agreed to only because I knew both him and Mandy were up to something plus the fact I really wanted to talk with Em,without Joe being around.
A few minute later and both Em and Mandy came walking back.Mandy sat down beside Nick and he wrapped his arm around smiling as he kissed her cheek.
I smiled a little he always greeted her like that even it had only been a few minutes since they had talked.I watched Em as she slowly walked looking up as her eyes locked with my she gave me as small smile before she sat down next to Joe and Shay.
Aimee and Jack sat on the other side of them.
"Alright so we have a few more hours of sunlight."I said"Do you guys want to go fishing?"
"Sounds good to me."Nick said with a little shrug as both him and Mandy got up and headed towards our fishing poles.
"I think Jack and I will stay here and get dinner ready."Aimee said with a small smile.
"Shay,Em and I are going to stay behind too."Joe said.
"Actually I'd like to go fishing Joe."Em said softly as she stood up.
He watched her walk towards the fishing poles before he shrugged and got up grabbing Shay's hand as he did.I shook my head as I took off after the others.
I grabbed my fishing pole as Nick and Mandy led the way to the lake,Em walked behind them and I stayed behind her.I watched her as she glanced around at our surroundings and then glanced back at me.I gave her a small smile before I looked away from her.
~Em's POV~
I was a little upset about Joe thinking that he could speak for me,I was also upset that he didn't go ahead and come along with me.I stopped dead in my tracks as I looked out at he lake.
"It's beautiful."I whispered not thinking that anyone really heard me.
"Kinda like you."I heard Kevin whispered and I looked beside me,He was staying away from me a bit and looking out at the lake,I don't think that he meant for me to hear that but I did.
I slowly walked over to where Mandy and Nick were sitting and getting their bait ready.
After we had casted our lines we all sat down and talked about different things.Kevin sat there silently listening to us not saying a word.He looked like he was deep in thought about something.
"Hey Em you got a bite."Nick said snapping me out of thoughts as I felt the line tugging,I quickly jumped up and started to reel it in but it was to strong for me.I felt someone put ther arms on both sides of me as they started to help me reel it in,I looked up to see Kevin about the time I looked up the line snapped sending both me and Kevin backwards,I ended up falling on top of him,I saw a flash of light and knew that Mandy had taken a picture of us but I couldn't stop looking at Kevin.He slowly leaned in like he was going to kiss me and I saw another flash of light,that snapped me out of it and I quickly pulled away as I stood up and brushed myself off.
"I'm going to head back."I said as I looked at Nick and Mandy.
I picked up my pole and headed back towards the camp sight.
~Kevin's POV~
I watched her as she walked away from us and I sighed as I turned to face Nick and Mandy.
"Guess I shouldn't have done that."I said rubbing the back of my head as I sighed and sat back down in my spot.
"Kevin she's dating Joe and well she knows you have a girlfriend."Mandy said sighing a little
"I don't have a girlfriend,we broke up."I said shaking my head"Who told her I had one anyways?"
"Aimee did."Mandy said with a little shrug.
I shook my head.
"Well then I guess someone's going to have to tell her."I said.
"Why don't you?"Nick said.
I would if she'd just talk to me.
"I'm going back to camp."I said standing back up"You guys try to be back before dark."
"Ok."Nick said as I reeled my line in and then headed back.
