"That's okay, love. And you're right, we should rest," He sid gently as he made himself more comfortable against the rock. I agreed and snuggled closer to him, bringing my knees to my chest for warmth. I supposed we were going to sleep by the river. I was actually happy because the sound of the running water was very soothing and calm.

"I guess were sleeping by the river? Honestly, I like it."

I said truthfully placing one hand on his chest for a bit of support as I lay against him.


[ooc: heehee i have drama in mind with her parents XD]

I doze off quietly and very comfortably. The sound of the river lulled me to sleep that night. Soon enough though, it was morning again, and we were gonna head home. I was excited, but sad at the same time. I would definitely miss this place. So many memories, so much to carry home with me. I got up, making sure not to bother Vern, and tiptoed back to camp. I sat there for a while, looking at all we made and accomplished. It brought a tear or two to my eyes seeing the camp and knowing we were going to leave. I took my clothes and packed them in my backpack neatly fitting some matches and a couple other things. After, I started to pack vern's things quietly also. it was the least i could do for him after making him go back.

Just as I finish, Vern comes behind me and embraces me gently. It didn't scare me though because i knew he was there before. I grasped his arm infront of me and stood there with him, my eyes now closed because of the tears that were staining my cheeks red. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again,

"I think we should get going, so we make it there by nightfall."

I said softly. I let go of his arm and turned around to look at him. A small smile drew across my lips faintly.I kissed him on the cheek and asked,

"Ready?"

I smile at his agreement and take his backpack and hand it to him. I get up and observe the, now empty, camp once more. I hold back the emotion this time and simply say,
"I'm gonna miss this place."

I take his hand in mine and start walking south towards the town, towards the next chapter in life that i was going to start soon.
We walked for a good half of the day until I got tired enough to take a break. I sat down against a tree and took out the bottle of water I had stored and took a big sip.
"You okay so far?"

I asked to make sure he was feeling okay in the heat of the day. Summers here were basically mild, but this one was different and we seemed to have been swept with a heat wave.

I laughed when he poured the water down himself, it just was funny for some odd reason. As he tells me to try and pour the water down myself, I did. I poured it right on top of my head and it drizzled down the front of me. I giggled in amusement and wiped the water from my eyes and looked at him.
"You're right! it feels good!"

After about another ten minutes of sitting and fooling around, we decided to get on our way again, we were halfway there and wanted to make it by nightfall. I just prayed that my parents would let Vern stay.
