Patrick's P. O. V The game began and we started picking out golden eggs in the designated place we were told to search for it. I had barely said anything to anyone, too hurt and angry to speak. The things Skyler said wouldn't stop replaying in my head. " Patrick... Patrick!..." A voice filtered through my thoughts forcing me out of my reverie. I looked back and saw it was Skyler running towards me, her basket with some golden eggs while mine was empty. Knowing it was her, I scoffed and continued forward. " Patrick... Wait!" She called again, running and stopping in front of me. " What? " I mumbled. " Okay... I'm sorry. I understand if you're mad at me but I really didn't mean to break it out to you like that. I thought you knew. " " Well you did. And thanks for letting me know. You just added salt to my wounds. " I said and continued walking but she pushed me back, her hands on my chest. " Patrick, listen. I'm just looking out for you. And I'm sorry
Olivia's P. O. V " Why don't you trust him?" I asked and he shrugged, still staring at Martin. " I don't know... I just don't. Watch yourself around him, okay?" He said and I nodded, smiling in reassurance. " Okay." I replied " I'm leaving now. But I'll be right back, I need to go find Alex. " He said, jogging out of the place. I watched him leave and heaved a sigh, walking back to my cabin.... Patrick's P. O. V " What do you think you're doing?" I ask Alex, who's walking away. I had followed after him. He turns back and stops, his demeanor calm. It only angers me the more. " Nothing." " Really?" " Yes. Nothing." He replied, and I walked towards him, my chest heaving in anger. " What about you?" He counters. " What have you been doing? Other than hang out with Skyler." " It's not my fault I got paired with her." I muttered through gritted teeth. " It's also not my fault that I got paired with Sylvia, too. But it hap
Skyler's P. O. V. I stare at the sleeping Patrick, tears slipping out of my eyes. Cleaning them off with a free hand, I can't help but wonder, what did I do? What kind of a friend am I? I just succeeded in ruining everything. I'm sure if Patrick wakes up now and finds out what happened, he'll hate me forever. " Patrick..." I mumbled, even though he can't hear me. " I'm sorry."... Sylvia's P. O. V Too frozen to move or do anything, I let Alex kiss me. Even if I'm not returning his kisses. Even if I'm just standing there like a statue. His kisses were soft and reassuring, but needy as well. Like he had wanted to do this for such a long time. The problem is, why now? He eventually drags himself away from my lips and lays his head on my shoulders, breathing in. My eyes glazed with tears, i finally get my voice. " That. Wasn't supposed to happen." I mumble, half expecting him to flare up. He just snuggles closer to me, breathing in. " No it
Sylvia's P. O. V I woke up with a start, staring around the cabin. Sitting up, I facepalmed myself and noticed they were sticky with tears. I was crying yesterday, why? Then it all came back to me. Patrick and I argument, Alex kisses and everything in between. My heart felt like it had been squeezed and I almost started crying again. No Sylvia, today is an new day. You can't keep crying, it doesn't solve anything. I looked around the cabin and noticed Skyler's bed was empty, maybe she was out for her morning run. I sighed softly, too tired and weak to start today. The other girls soon began waking up and when they saw me sitted on the bed, greeted me. " Going out today?" Aubrey asked. " No. Can't walk." I replied and gave her a stiff smile. " Okay... We'll see you later then." She replied and I nodded. Then proceeded to the bathroom while I picked up my phone and began checking my social media feed, trying to keep myself busy.... Patrick's
Sylvia's P. O. V I saw Tyler and Olivia approach me but instead of looking downcast, they had dreamy smiles on their faces and they were holding hands. What's going on? They finally got to me and I gave them questioning gazes. " What happened? " I asked, my gaze shifting from Olivia to Tyler. " Well... It's good news." She breathed out, stifling a giggle. " What is it?" I asked, eagerness evident in my voice. " Let's just say... I can now see Tyler that way." She replied and clung onto Tyler who welcomed. I gasped. " No way! Oh my God... I'm so happy for you!" " Thank you. I can't believe that all I've been looking for was right there in front of me and I couldn't see it." " Well... Now you do." I replied and we chuckled. " I'm really happy for you guys. So,when is it going to become official?" I asked and Olivia furrowed her brows in worry. " It's not really over though. There's still my parents to think about. " " It isn't
( Final day of camp) Sylvia's P. O. V Finally the camp came to an end. During the last few days everyone could be seen packing their bags and saying their last goodbyes. The last bonfire night that was held was actually the best has everyone put up a great show as this would be the last time they would ever see this much people again. Even though I was in a sour mood throughout the last few days, I couldn't help but smile out tears at the fun I had as well. Today was the last day so mostly what everyone was doing was packing up and getting ready to go home. Fortunately for Olivia and Tyler, this camp had a happy ending for them. Tyler finally asked Olivia to be his girlfriend at the last bonfire night and she heartily agreed. But me? I'm not so sure. As usual, I spent the last few days avoiding Alex and Patrick. Skyler on the other hand didn't wait till the end of camp before leaving. After that night that I had spoken to her, we had woken up to see an empty bed. A
(Next day) After dressing up for school, I came downstairs and met my mom in the kitchen, making breakfast. After a quick greeting and a kiss on the cheeks, I settled down for some oats and milk. She came to join me later. Glancing at her as I ate, I made to ask the question that had been bugging me for some time now. " Mom... Are you okay? You don't look so well." I said and she smiled, not meeting my gaze. " Yeah. I'm fine, just a little sick." She replied and I shrugged. " You sure? You've gotten a lot thinner." I said and she flinched a little. Smiling again, she held my hands. " I said am fine. Stop worrying about me. Now eat your food and go to school or you'll be late." I smiled, glad to know my mom wasn't as sick as I thought. Finishing up my meal, I bade my mom goodbye before heading to school. I arrived soon after and of course, the entire compound was bustling with students. Carefully making my way around them, I found my way to my
Sylvia's P. O. V " When... How did she get it?" I asked the doctor again, not sure if I heard him the first time. " Anyone can have it... Although people who have relatives that had leukemia once are prone to having it." He explained. I stared past him, my gaze unseeing. " You know what leukemia is right?" The doctor asked when I wasn't saying anything. When I didn't reply, he began explaining. " It starts when the blood-producing organs...." I cut him short. " I know what leukemia is doctor. " I said and he froze. " How long has she had it?" I asked again. " She's had it for quite a while now but she always came in for treatment using chemotherapy." She has? Why didn't she tell me? " So... what's going on now? Why did she faint?" I asked, my eyes clouding with tears, He sighed deeply before continuing. " They probably weren't working anymore so there are more leukemic cells in her body and her immune system is already weakened. It's wh
