JADE'S POV "Lizzy...........she was the reason you'd suddenly wanted to switch rooms yesterday, right?" He asks after he returned from getting some first aid supplies from Mr Fredrick. I don't answer his question immediately,opting to just watch him attend to my leg instead. He'd make a very fine doctor if he ever chooses that career path in life, I muse.His only problem then might just be trying to keep them nurses abd female patients off his back. "You're not saying anything, Jay." He says under his breath.Oh, let's blame it on the fact that actually answering that question changes nothing still.We're both lost in our own little bubble at this point, dead to the world around us, the chatters and whatever it is Mr Stewart is lecturing about upfront.I say nothing to answer him, not sure what is safe to say now, but I guess even that is a dead giveaway to him. He'd said it many times in the past that I'm like an open book to him so I guess he can tell what I'm thinking even th
CHELSEA'S POVI love my best friend, Jade, with everything I am, but sometimes, I can't help being so envious of her.Even though she doesn't have the best relationship with her family and all, every other aspect of her life seems to be doing so great it just hurts my eyes.I sigh as I continue down the path i'd started on just a while ago, alone, because I needed a break from the drama between her and her beaus.Her grades are perfect for one and she has Caden on her tail like a love sick puppy and it's worse that she's so blind to all his advances.Yeah, it's kind of annoying watching her play dumb to his feelings and claiming he's only doing the thing he does because they'd been best friends once upon a time and all.Dude isn't the kind of person to get jealous of her growing closeness with Matt just because they'd been friends or because he wants to stay friends or anything.It's clear even to the blind that Caden Adam Jones has the hots for her except my thick headed girlie is wor
JADE'S POVThe day progressed really quickly and while it did, I keep thinking about the conversation I'd had with Caden and how much different things would be when we leave here.Two random thoughts, yes, but that's what's plaguing me right now, asides my foot that's still sore and hurting.It's darkened in color now, I guess, I can't see into it because Caden had gone and wrapped every effected part of my leg again with that towel of his, after he'd finally applied ice and ointment to it.My eyes dart around the crowd of for Ches and Matt and I find them both still missing.I'm beginning to get worried about them and wondering if they're not taking their reaction too far just because Caden had flipped, no thanks to his misguided thoughts.But everyone is entitled to their own space and time so I say nothing about their preferred absence and my texts which they both left sitting unreplied.I let my eyes wonder the beautiful scenery instead, hoping for something to catch and hold my at
JADE'S POV"Do you like it?" He asks, as I stare at the picture of me he'd just taken with his phone to show me.Like?That term didn't even begin to explain exactly how I feel about the piece of work he made of my face but somehow, I'm lacking the right words to convey that right now.It's almost as if he'd gone the extra mile to prove to me that knows exactly what he's doing when he picks a paint brush and honestly, I can count myself convinced."It's beautiful." I tell him, for lack of a better words to describe it, hoping that he sees the genuinity of that answer in my eyes, or at least hears it in my voice.That boyish grin that never fails to make my heart flutter gently grace's his lips while I watch, tugging at their corners and lighting up his face.Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm being too extra with my description of how exactly he looks in this moment, but I know for a fact that it's beautiful to watch.And I'm glad to see that his smile is less fake now.It had knotted my
JADE'S POVThe hotel staffs really weren't bluffing when they were describing the view of this trail and seeing this now makes me anticipate more, the beautiful clearing they'd promised we'd find at the end of the trail.The scenery we are walking through is just so beautiful you'd be tempted to take pause and appreciate.Imagine an expanse of greenery dotted with absolutely beautiful and colorful flowers and if you listen closely, I bet you can hear water from some supposedly nearby creek flowing.I guess that's responsible for the refreshingly cool air that weaves its way around us every now and again.Honestly? I'm totally digging this.We're all broken up a now in pair, unlike when we'd all started out as one big group, walking at our own paces as far as we all don't lose sight of each other and our tour guide.I, for one, am stuck to the sides of Matt and Ches and an even grumpier Caden.In all the convos I've initiated si
JADES POV It's funny having Caden offer me a piggy back ride because of my injury and realizing he is serious about it only made it weird. He doesn't look the part and the Caden Adam Jones we all know will never let himself be caught doing something like that on a normal, or so you understand my confusion and then later decline of the offer. I notice my refusal to get on his back pissed him off but since he doesn't mention it, I let it slide too. He can't be getting pissed about trivial things like that, when he's been a big bunch of provocation since joining Matt, Ches and myself. Since I adamantly refused to be carried on his back, he finally settles for holding up and supporting my weight, almost just like Matt had been doing. I hear him mutter promises to be more careful with me and blah blah blah while supporting me. It takes a lot to accept the idea of limping the rest of the distance and a couple tries to get used to it. Matt is too pissed by all of Caden's theatrics to
