-If Words Were Bullets I'd Be Dead-
_________________

*******************************
The alarm in green cabin is screaming, I sit up in my bed and turn it off. I got very little sleep last night.

So many thoughts so little time.

Aiden and I sneak out of the cabin, trying not to wake up any of the boys, I step outside, it's slightly chilly, I walk back into my cabin and grab a sweatshirt, throwing it over my shoulders as I walk outside again.

I see Kierra already at the flag pole, she has a blanket wrapped around her and she appears to be shivering. I walk over and try to put on my best smirk, "Cold?" she glares at me rolling her eyes,

"No! I'm just standing out here in a sweatshirt and sweatpants with a blanket wrapped around me because I'm sweating," sarcasm, it's cute.

"Oof, If words were bullets I'd be dead," she rolls her eyes again, but I see a smile creeping up on her face. I take my sweatshirt off and throw it at her, then I walk over and grab two trash can lids as we prepare to scream at the kids.

My favorite time of the day.

As we sing I hit the trashcan lids-completely off beat and after the fact everyone looks at me,

"Brobeans, that was horrible." Kierra exclaims, I just smile at her,

"Stop looking at me like that!"

"'Brobeans'?" I question, she rolls her eyes again, when suddenly Beth takes the two trashcan lids away from me. I glare at red head. "Fine."

By the time we get to the last two cabins I am banging on the doors. Perfectly on beat, may I add. Kierra looks at me and we make eye contact for a second.

Her eyes are the perfect kind of brown, although at the moment they look almost red. The sunlight is directly on her and she seems to be frozen looking at me. I don't mind though, I just continue to look back and remember all of her features. In the sun her hair is almost a deep red color even though normally it's brown; her skin is tan, very tan. She has a friendship bracelet on her wrist and one on her ankle as an anklet.

She shakes her head as if shaking off whatever she was just spacing out about and mouths 'sorry' I smile in return shaking my head l looking at her trying to say it's fine with my eyes, she just nods and walks into her cabin. I walk back to my cabin with George,

"Dude, what is up with you?" he asks and I just shake my head,

"No clue... Brobeans." I chuckle under my breath and he just shakes his head and walks into his cabin with his head down,

*******************************
God, he must think I'm so weird.

Whenever I space out thinking about something, normally I cant even remember what I'm thinking about, I just kinda sit there and stare blankly not moving or blinking (it creeps a lot of people out) and I just did that, and I had to have been staring at him.

Normally I would just say "Sorry I was spacing out" and they would just reply with 'oh ok' but all I freaking did was mouth sorry . In what universe would he even understand with only a 'sorry'.

So, today is Wednesday. Yesterday was really boring and nothing interesting really happened, except I fell into the pond, well... Colin pushed me into the pond.

Yeah that happened.

But today we are going on our annual hike up Mount Kerona. Yay. (That was sarcasm... by the way.)I personally, am not physical. I don't like working out, I don't like really doing anything physical that much at all, so when I heard it was mandatory going on this hike, I wasn't that psyched.

"Oh come on! It's gonna be fun!" Kaylee says and I laugh, a hard cold laugh,

"You and I's definition of "fun" must be very different," I look at Gracie and she nods,

"I'm gonna die." She groans, we are walking up to the dining hall and we continue joking about how bad this hike is gonna be—although I'm not really joking...

_

"The sight is going to be amazing!" says Kaylee as she continues her feeble attempt to change my mind, I open my mouth about to say something but Colin says something before me-

"The sight is already amazing," he says slowly and almost under his breath, my head immediately spins towards him and he is looking at me with an almost sad smile, I feel the heat rising to my cheeks, but I don't comment on what he just said. I clear my throat,

"Ya know what else would be amazing?" I pause and Gracie, Colin, Kaylee are all looking at me waiting for an answer, "Me laying in bed possibly sleeping." they all laugh and so do I. I know, it's basically a sin for me to laugh at my own jokes. But I mean, that was funny, "Maybe... Maybe I'll have fun after all..." I sneak a peak at Colin who is smirking,

_

I'm actually enjoying myself on this hell of a hike. Kaylee, Liz and I are all screaming Disney songs and Colin and Gracie are just talking behind us, "A WHOLE NEW WORLD" I scream/sing

Kaylee continues it: "a WHOLE NEW FABULOUS POINT OF VIEW!"

Then Liz - "SHINING SHIMMERING SPLENDID!"

We were laughing and having fun, when these little light spots began to paint my vision,

Hey there little spot. What do you think your doing? My head begins pounding and the world begins to spin, I feel myself begin to fall back but Colin and Gracie catch me before I fall,

"Kierra?" Colin asks worriedly and my whole little squad stops moving,

"Are you okay?" Liz, the only counselor In this part of the line asks and I nod my head,

"Yeah... Yeah. I'm fine." everything is still dizzy but I push myself out of their arms and start walking again,

*******************************
Gracie and I catch her as she begins to fall back,

"Kierra?" I ask, I look around me finding Gracie and she looks just as worried as me. This must not happen often...

Obviously it doesn't happen often

"Are you okay?" Liz asks falling back and Kierra doesn't answer for a second, I shake my head and Liz sighs.

"Yeah..." she finally says "Yeah. I'm fine." she says, she isn't walking in a completely straight line for a moment but then she orients herself and continues walking, Gracie and I only stay a foot behind her just in case,

"So why do you like her?" Gracie asks me, I shrug,

"She's pretty, she's funny, and she isn't like super uptight." Gracie nods and looks at me seriously,

"She has gone through some pretty fucked up shit, if she trusts you, be lucky, and please.. don't hurt her..." I wanna ask Gracie what she could have possibly gone through, she is so happy I couldn't picture anything bad happening to her, don't wanna picture anything bad happening to her... I just nod my head as a response, not knowing what to say.

"Shit!" She says loudly and runs forward, I freeze, I see Kierra begin to fall and Gracie run up and catch her, Gracie is struggling and nearly drops Kierra when I rush forward and hold Kierra in the bridal position. Kaylee and Liz bolt towards us realizing what just happened,

"Take her to the nurse!" Liz yells at me, I stay still for a second looking at Kierra and back at Liz, "Go idiot !" I spin around as fast as I can and sprint back to the camp, we have been walking for at least a half an hour, it'll be like a fifteen minute sprint back.

I pass by all the other campers and even Kara,

"Colin!" I hear shouted multiple times behind me,

"Dude, what are you doing?" George shouts as I run past him, I wanna say something but I don't know what's wrong with her and if I stop what would happen?

What if she is like... dying? Or in some sort of weird heat induced coma? I feel the adrenaline pump through my blood stream harder than before and run even faster, being careful not to drop Kierra.

I would never drop her.

I run into the camp with Kierra in my arms, sweat pouring down my body, breathing heavily. I see Carl waiting there and he rushes towards us,

"What happened?" he asks and we rush towards the nurses office,

"She-she was dizzy and then.. and..." I don't remember it's all just a blur of me catching her and running back,

"Okay. It's okay Colin..."

"Holy crap! What happened?" Allison, who stayed back because she injured her knee asks,

"She fainted." Carl says and I look at him with pleading eyes and an urge to get to the nurse even faster than before, "Allison please go back with Emmie, Allison nods and walks away, probably going to tell the other counselors who had stayed back from the hike what she had just seen,

*******************************
"What the hell?" I look around and see Colin sleeping, "Where am I?" I rub my temple which aches, I see a cup of water next to me,

"Oh shit," I hear Colin cuss as he rubs his eyes groggily, "You're up."

"Yeah, what happened?" he explained how I was dizzy and fainted and he raced me to the nurse and she just said I was extremely dehydrated, "Oh man..." my head is pounding and I don't stop rubbing my head,

"Is your head okay?" He takes the cup of water next to me and hands it to me, "Here drink this whole thing," I didn't realize how thirsty I was until I took my first sip of water, it was like liquid gold running down my throat. My head still pounded, "Don't you have a water bottle?"

I nod my head, "It's in my cabin, I hate carrying shit like that around everywhere because—well... I'm lazy." I take another sip of the liquid gold, "Thank you, for carrying me back." he rubs the back of his neck and smiles,

"Of course." we stare at each other for a moment he slowly begins to lean in, but the silence is disturbed by the nurse,

"Good, your up." our heads both snap towards her faster than we heard her voice, "You, take her back to her cabin, no funny business. Make sure she doesn't faint again before you get there and you." she looks at me, "Drink your water, make sure you carry your water bottle around everywhere." I laugh nodding my head,

"Of course." I say and she shoos us both out,

"I need my rest too ya know!" was the last thing she said before kicking us out,

"What time is it?" I ask as we are walking down the hill, his arm around me and I am leaning against him. I would never tell him, but I'm still quite dizzy.

"just after midnight..."

"What!" I jump back and look at him,

"Gracie was sitting with you until ten. I came here to check on you and told her to go get sleep. She did, with many protests." we stop and he looks at me, "She really loves you..." I nod my head and we stand there, just staring at each other, the only noise is the animal sounds from in the woods, I smile and he mimics me. The same feeling around me as in the nurse. I feel safe, in his gaze, safe from anything or anyone who would want to harm me.

He leans in and our lips collapse on top of each other and everything felt right.

shit.  what did I just do? I just kissed Colin! I cant be kissing Colin! But I am and it feels so nice. No! It's not! Its not nice, he is going to shatter your heart into pieces.

We will wait until that happens.

My brain is routing against me. Great.
