CHAPTER 8

I traipse back to the camp. All the way there I keep my mind empty of thoughts. I let the darkness surrounding me with its cold touch. As I arrive, I get inside our cabin as silent as I possibly can. I don't want them to start asking me why the hell I keep wandering the woods at night.

Somehow I feel better after talking with Tate. It's like he really listens to me and I needed that. I have never thought that a psychotic kid would get to the point of kind of giving me advices.

And maybe he is right. A dead boy and a wayward one shouldn't be reasons for losing Theo. I cannot lose Theo. I just cannot. I've got to fix things between us but first I have to let the time pass, 'cause I know he's still pissed off.

For now I want to sleep and sleep and I fall asleep immediately, with a last image of Darren, Theo and Tate in my mind. And that image is the most painful one due to its beauty.

***

You cannot simply accept someone's death. You cannot stop thinking about that person. It's a wound which keeps bleeding and it hurts like hell when you remember that person once walked the same road as you.

And what if you just accept and get used with the idea? Then you remain with a scar, but that scar will be there for life.

And what about me? Well, Darren is still a wound on my soul. He is not a scar yet.

***

I wake up and don't see Hayden in her bed. And then I know why, it's already 12 o'clock and fuck, I am too late for Tate. I should have been there at 10. Fuck. I get off the bed and I tramp loudly on the stairs. There's nobody in the kitchen, nobody in the living room. Outside I don't see any of my classmates. I stride to the cabin next to us, Theo's cabin, and knock at the door but don't hear anything from inside, so I barge in.

"Where the hell is everybody?" I asked but for myself, not waiting for an answer.

"They've gone trekking in the mountains," he told me with a simper on his face.

"And why the hell we are the only ones left here?"

"'Cause I'm not in the mood of sauntering in the woods right now. And they thought you need more sleep, because of your night outgoings. "

They caught m . Shit.

I avoid looking at him straight in the eyes because I know I cannot explain him exactly what I am doing so late at night.

"You can fool them in any why you may want, Davina. They already think you have a secret boyfriend or something like that. But you don't fool me. You cannot ever fool me. Now, may you please get the fuck out of here?"

I stand motionless in front of him and this way he watches me right now, like he had never had, with no emotion, just like that, like I was a nothing in front of him.
