I still feel proud of myself. Yesterday after I smacked the hell out of Sabrina, I knew that she's just a scared girl. Ofcourse, I didn't forget to tell Roxy and right now as we're having breakfast, she can't help but grin at me. "I guess we've both changed. It's good that you're now standing up for yourself," Roxy says and immediately the door bell rings. "Mom, could you get that please?" I yell, tapping my bowl of cereal with my spoon.I can hear mom's footsteps to the front door and she opens it and... "Oh, how lovely to see you Scott and who's your friend?" I hear mom say and Roxy stares at me. The only person mom doesn't know who'd be with Scott right now is Kye, because mom knows Tyler and Jim."Kye's here," I whisper and Roxy's eyes go wide and she hurriedly swallows down her cereal and gobbles down the remaining contents in her bowl, wiping her mouth with the back of her arm. "How do I look? Am I okay? Is my hair fine?" she looks at the black hoodie she's wearing. "Yurgh!

Kyrah's POVThe moment we arrive after the longest drive ever, I can barely wait to get out of the car. There's fresh air all over, trees swaying from side to side, tiny squirrels running right in front of the most beautiful log cabin I have ever seen. The urge to walk inside elevates. I quickly open the car's door and whisper more to myself. "Wow! It's beautiful!" It looks a little rugged and rustic here and there, but somehow it still appears invitingly comfortable. This log cabin looks as if it has popped straight out of a fairytale with a happy ending or a picture book for little kids. It looks like so many things that I can't even find the words to describe. Wild flowers have grown at the front of the log cabin and nearby I can hear the sound of water flowing. "Is there a stream or something around here?" I ask Scott who is now taking out our bags from the trunk. Kye and Vic are also doing the same. "A river, actually, not too big though," Scott says as he lifts one of my

Roxy's POVThe room is dark.But my eyes are wide open.Earlier when we came back into the cabin, Kye gave me some water and painkillers and I feel so much better right now. He asked me if I was okay with us sleeping on the same bed and I said I wasn't, so he took a sleeping bag and now he's sleeping on the floor. He said that he's slept in worse places during his military training so he'd be okay by the time the sun rises.Here I am, feeling guilty for telling him I wasn't comfortable with us sleeping on the same bed. It's actually raining and it's getting colder. I don't remember it being a rainy season though. Climate change is weird these days. I can hear Kye breathing calmly and I can't help but wonder how he's so comfortable in that sleeping bag. I switch on the lights and check my phone, it's past 1AM. When I put the phone back on the night stand, Kye wakes up. Shit! "Sorry, did I wake you up?" I ask, pursing my lips. My eyes scanning through the dark room for nothing in par

Roxy's POVWhen I leave Kyrah's room, I tiptoe across the hall and just when I'm about to open the door, Kye appears from downstairs. He'd gone to the kitchen to take back the glass I was using. "Roxy, why are you out of bed, and barefoot?" he questions as he gets closer. "Eerr... I was in Kyrah's room," I say. "It's cold and I don't want you getting sick," he says and sweeps me off my feet. My hands automatically go around his neck. With ease, he opens the door and walks in while carrying me. He pushes the door with one foot and walks straight to the bed and carefully places me on it and covers me. "You need to stay in bed till you feel better. How was your night by the way?" he asks. "It was okay. I finally got to sleep well and dreamt I was hanging out with Willy Wonka and Quasimodo," I chuckle. He bursts out laughing and sits on the bed and I place the pills Kyrah gave me on the nightstand. They're still in their tiny box, but Kye doesn't notice me placing them there, he's b

When I get tired of lying on my back I sit up and as I look around, everyone is swimming far away from me. I try calling them but none of them can hear me. So I pull my shorts on, since my swimsuit is already dry. I sigh. "Guess it's just you and me Axel, let's take a walk around the woods," I tell Axel and immediately he stands up. I pick my phone from where it's been lying on the grass and our little adventure begins. Axel is sticking his tongue out and keeps looking up at me and around the woods. When we walk for about fifteen minutes in the woods, he stops and faces a certain direction. "Hey, what's wrong?" I ask, knowing that he won't reply, but he walks straight ahead into a bush and I don't hesitate to follow him. Behind the bush I find a lizard, Axel barks and it runs off at a very high speed, then my phone startles me when it starts ringing. It's Blake. "Hey, babe. How are you doing?" I ask and his voice fills my ear. "I'm not that good?" he says and I frown. "Why? W
