You woke up to your phone buzzing next to you. C was finally awake and you had no problem going to help him but it was two in the morning. Everyone else was sleep, turning in at around one or midnight. Your bonnet was on and your contacts were out, meaning you had to slip on your clear frame glasses.

You headed to the kitchen, and lucky you had a gas stove. You boiled some water, using the flashlight on your phone to see what you were doing. Then before pouring the water into your 2007 DisneyLand mug, you put honey on the bottom of the cup and the tea bag inside. After, you carefully poured the water into the mug, slightly splashing some water onto the counter. When you were done with the tea, you figured he was hungry so you used the oven to heat up some of the food Mikasa and Sasha cooked earlier.

You took the cup and quietly went upstairs, being sure not to wake anyone up. You went to your room, bumping the door open with your hip. And there C was, scared shitless looking at the door with his hand reaching to the floor next to him. "Oh ! It's you. Sorry, Princess."

"Mhm.. what're you reaching for ?" you said, putting the cup down on your nightstand and pointed your flashlight to the area he was reaching.

"What are you talking about ?"

"I look dumb to you, C ?" you asked.

"Nope.. Just don't be mad okay ?" You stayed quiet so he could continue answering. "Okay so. When I got here I had a certain metal weapon on me and-"

"So you were gonna shoot me ?" you laugh.

"No that's why I made sure it was you."

You walked over to the spot he was reaching and low and behold, there was a small Glock 19. You reached down and took it making sure the safety was on. It was heavy and cold in your warm hands. "This is going in my closet until you leave."

"But what if-"

"What if nothing. You're lucky I'm not kicking your hoodlum ass out," you say. "Now here. Take some tea."

You handed him the mug, making sure he only touched the handle so that he didn't burn himself. He looked up at you before placing his lips onto the mug and taking a sip. "This green tea ?" he asked.

"Mhm. How'd you know ?"

C scoffed. "Girl you know I gotta know all my blends." You gave him a look. "Kidding ! It's my grandmother's favorite. It's good though," he said before chugging it down. It was as if the heat didn't affect him.

"Are you feelin' a little better ?" you asked, putting the mug back onto the nightstand.

"Yeah. Thanks a lot."

"Is that all you needed ?" you asked.

"No."

"Well c'mon and tell me what you need C. I'm tryna go back to sleep," you grumble. You rubbed your eyes, showing just how much you were trying to stay awake.

"Just sleep rightttt here," he said patting the spot next to him.

"Me ? Sleep in here wit' you ?" you ask.

"Yeah. Just lay down for a little," he says, slightly licking his lips.

"Do you know what my brother would do if he caught us in this bed together ?"

"He loves me though !" he exclaimed.

Wanting to go back to sleep and not to entertain anymore of this, you sighed and got up from the bed. But before you did, you gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, C."

The next morning, well kinda the morning, you were the first one up. Everyone woke up one by one and gathered in the kitchen to get a helping of whatever you were making for breakfast. At first you were going to just tell them to make their own bowls of cereal because you're not their momma.. but you wanted to do something to make sure they would be on board with the plans you made without telling them.

You figured it was time to get away from the fast city life Atlanta offered you, especially now. Now that the lights would be out until Lord Knows when, everyone around you has been acting an absolute fool. Maybe by getting away, for a bit you could keep everyone out of trouble. Everyone being your brother and C of course. Oh and JuJu since his mouth always gets him into trouble. So what better way to cleanse from all of the drama your town could bring then to go camping.

"So.. I was thinking," you said putting out a plate of bacon onto the kitchen table. "We should get out of Atlanta for a bit and..get in touch with nature."

"She bumped her head ? " JuJu asks Bryson who was trying to follow along up until he heard the word nature.

"Maybe," Bryson shrugged.

"No I didn't bump my head," you answered sweetly. "Remember that waterfall we used to go to when we were little ?"

"You mean the one three hours from here ?" Nicky asked.

"Yeah that one !" you exclaim. "It's gonna be hot for a few days so.. why not ?"

"That could be fun," JuJu sighed, walking over to his bag of clothes to pull out his emergency swim suit. Of course he had one packed.

"Yeah maybe we can get some hiking in ! I have to collect plants for my bio project anyways," Armin said.

Everyone in the kitchen went quiet. "Hiking..?" Sasha questioned.

"Yeah we can collect plants on the way but hiking ? You lost me," Jean added.

"I'll hike with you Armin," Mikasa volunteered.

You rhythmically drummed on the kitchen island. "Okay so it's settled ! Oh- and there's something else."

"Of course there is," Eren whispered to C. As a response you threw a piece of bacon at the both of them.

"So we'd also be camping-"

"I just know your black ass ain't suggest that corny ass shit. We ain't no white ass Brady Bunch ass family," JuJu said. "No offense to the," he paused to clear his throat. "white folk present."

"Oh none taken," Historia replied.

C choked on his eggs. "I'm sorry I was a little zoned out so it ain't hit me til now. Did she say camping ?"

"She did," Sasha responded, eying you as if you were an alien from an unidentified planet.

"No." Eren said.

"Immediate no," Bryson added.

"Definite no," Ymir added.

"Yeah..no. You lost me again," Jean said.

"Y'all ain't even let me finish," you whine.

"We don't need to. Last time we went camping I was bit by a fuckin' bear," Nicky shouted.

"Okay first of all jackass, it was just someone's dog and that was because you and Onyakapon were chasing it with frogs," you argued.

"Wait really ? I thought it was a bear ?" Nicky wasn't putting on an act either. He was genuinely confused because he saw a bear. At least that's what he remembered.

Onyakapon snapped his fingers as he recalled the trapped memory. "Oh ! That's probably because you ate those berries we found and they made you see stuff. And then.. you threw up outside of the tent and your dad stepped in it."

"Oh."

"Anyways. I said we should go camping because Mr.Nelson has this RV we could borrow," you finished.

"Oh girl why ain't you lead with that ?" JuJu said.

"Yeah because I'm not a sleep in a tent on the dirt type of bitch," Bryson laughed.

"Wait ! Can Zen come ?" JuJu folded his hands and pleaded. "He even got a friend for you, Bry," he said, nudging Bryson on the shoulder.

"Boy or girl ?" he asked.

JuJu gave him a mean mug. "Nigga does it matter ?"

"Anyways ! They can come as long as they got their own ride. If they need to they might be able to stay in the RV," you say before they started bickering.

With that everyone went to shower and get ready. You all took your overnight bags so that you had enough clothes to last you through all of the activities you'd be doing. When you guys were done getting ready, you called Mr.Nelson, who had his nephew drop the RV off to your house.

And wanting to be prepared for whatever, Jean took C's car as a backup vehicle. Anyways, the RV should've been classified as an actual home due to how big it was. It had a whole ass bedroom along with bunk beds. There was a full bathroom and even a kitchen area with everything you could ever need. You wondered how in the world Mr. Nelson was able to get his hands on it but you didn't question it. He was full of secrets that even you nor Nicky didn't know.

From there, you all were off. And since it was your idea and everyone was still sleepy, you had to drive. However, with enough convincing and utilizing C's crush on you, you convinced him to drive for you. And that's exactly what he did. In exchange that you sat up front with him but you were gonna do that anyway.

Everyone settled into their spots for the two and a half hour ride to Blue Hole Falls and needless to say, they ended up knocking out all over again. And so did you. That is until you heard a crinkling noise of a chip bag opening.You pried your eyes open and looked over at C who had an awkward expression on his face, with his hand still in the chip bag. (like this : 😗)

"Sorry for waking you, Princess," he said as he popped a chip into his mouth.

"It's fine," you respond, leaning your head back against the window.

"What made you wanna go camping ?" he asked.

You shrugged. "After last night, I realized ya'll need to keep your badasses out of trouble."

"I'm sorry about that by the way. I figured after what had happened I would uh- need to protect everyone in the house," C said. He was genuinely upset that you even saw the gun in the first place. But you were desensitized to that sort of thing, considering your father's profession and Nicky's past. He didn't really care about that though.

"It's okay I understand."

"But it's not okay, I disrespected your home."

"Oh please my old boyfriend wore his dirty ass soccer shoes on my carpet floors. Nobody's gonna disrespect my house like he did," you laugh. C felt a little relieved that you weren't crazy mad at him. "But anyways," you begin. "What even happened last night ?"

"Remember the guy who was flirting with you after the car show ?" You nod so he continued. "Well he's friends with someone I was attempting to make a deal with. I guess their plan was to rob me as some kind of payback. Didn't work but you know.."

"You kinda got your ass beat," you finish, mindlessly.

He laughed. "Yeah. So then after I was going to put the gun to use but Jean took me to your house."

"Well I'm glad he did. I've done enough jail visits in my lifetime," you laugh, playfully hitting his shoulder. You were laughing it off but what he told you shocked you. I mean it was clear that he had the gun for self defense. It was practically a no brainer. But you didn't really consider the fact that he would and was fully capable of using it. Maybe 'scared' wasn't the word to describe what knowing this fact did to you but perhaps the word 'shocked' could.

"You'd really come see me ?"

"Yeah. Maybe I'd help break you out," you joked.

"We'd be running from your dad, kinda like Bonnie and Clyde."

You smile. "Yeah I guess so."

Before long, you arrived at Blue Hole Falls. There was designated parking for camping vehicles so C parked in a spot that was right in front of the trail to the waterfall. You had woke everyone up with a grand banging on metal pots and pans. Zen and his friend, who was a beautiful darkskin, she/they with different tattoos and piercing all over, had met you guys there. Their name was Tommie. And Bryson couldn't keep his eyes away.

You all took your floaties and towels and other water toys, along with a speaker. The walk from the RV to the waterfall wasn't long. However, Armin got to still pick whatever plants he needed for class.

Once you guys got there, you and Nicky put a few blankets down to sit down. Shortly after, you all hopped in. Armin and Sasha were taking turns with snorkeling googles to look at the rocks and fish that were in the water. Jean was teaching Nicky, Eren, and Onyakapon how to skip rocks. While that was happening Bryson and Zen's friend were with Mikasa splashing around and JuJu was chopping it up with Zen.

All the while you and C were just wading in the water that was closer to the waterfall. It wasn't much conversation. It was really just you floating around, looking at the beautiful space Mother Nature gifted to the earth. Different fish swam around in the surprisingly clear water, avoiding human legs. Different birds sang different songs than the ones you heard in the city. You ran your hands through the waterfall. It was beautiful here.

And while you were admiring nature, C was admiring you. He loved the way your eyes raced to take in everything around you. "Having fun ?" he asked.

You snapped out of your daze. "Hm ? Oh, yeah."

"Can I show you something ?"

He didn't even wait for your answer and took your hand, leading you behind the waterfall. It was shallow enough for the both of you to stand. You wiped the water dripping into your eyes. "Damn a warning would've been good," you say.

"Sorry Princess," he said, going behind you to tie your, now wet, braids back into a ponytail. He then reached to your waist to turn you around to face him. "Pretty romantic right ?"

You laugh, facing away from him so that he couldn't see. "You're so corny."

"Am I ?"

"Mhm.."

The same ambiance from the night before surrounded the two of you. Your eyes trailed down to his lips as his hands drew your hips closer to his. The moment was perfect and no one was around to interrupt. "Eyes up. I'm not that easy ," he jokes, referring to what you said the night before.

"Whatever," you laugh.

In what felt like not even a second, he leaned in and kissed you. The kiss was swift and soft. Not one filled with lust. Instead it was filled with something way more innocent. When it all comes down to it, he just wanted to. And so did you. It seemed to last for years but it was really only a few seconds until the both of you mutually pulled away. "I knew you wanted to kiss me," he teased.

You shrug. "I mean it was ight'."

"Oh I'm sure," he replied sarcastically.

"C ! (y/n) ! Where ya'll at ? We wanna play truth or dare !" your brother called.

The two of you quickly left the secret spot and went on the large rock in the water, where everyone else was sitting in a circle. "Where were ya'll ?" Bryson asked.

"Looking at rocks," you answer quickly, taking a seat next to Onyakapon. C sat on the other side of you.

"Okay JuJu. Truth of dare ?" Sasha asks.

"Dare," he responds confidently.

"Go jump off of the top of the waterfall," Sasha says, menacingly.

"Bitch, I ain't no punk," he says before darting up to carefully climb up the rocks to get to the very top of the waterfall. "For the love of Nicki and Papa," he said, kissing up to the sky before swan diving in.

Everyone laughed and cheered for his braveness. He swam back to the rock you all were on so the game continued. "That's was cool as fuck, JuJu," Zen laughed.

JuJu couldn't help but to smile. "Oh it was nothin'."

"Okay now.. Tommie. Truth or dare," JuJu said.

"Mmm. Truth."

"Okay tell the truth. You finna let my friend take you out ?" Both you and JuJu tilted your heads at the same time to see her answer.

She bit her bottom lip and leaned against Bryson. "I mean, yeahhh," she answered shyly. "Um.." Tommie began to look around to see how they would choose but couldn't think of anything for anyone.

"Oh ! Oh ! Let me go !" Eren waves his hand like a fidgety seven year old. "(y/n) truth or dare."

"Dare," you answer with ease.

"I dare you to make us dinner. I'm hungry," he says with a maniacal smile.

"Oh yeah that's a good one," Armin seconds.

Mikasa rolls her eyes. "I dare you to catch a fish with your hands."

Your mom didn't raise a bitch. So you took her up on it. You found a way to a deeper part of the water where most of the fish would be. It was getting darker though so it was a little harder to see the bottom clearly but it didn't matter to you.

Pretty dumb mistake.

You aimlessly grabbed around as you swam around. Right as a fish got into your hands, you felt a sharp pain across your foot. You quickly get up, your pride being too strong to let the fish go. You came above water and held it up in the air as everyone laughed and cheered. "Holy shit she actually did it," Jean laughed.

You tossed it back into the water before limping back to the rock your friends sat. Your brother was the first one to catch the blood trailing from your foot. "Damn (y/n) what happened ?" he cringed. He really hated blood.

You looked down at your foot and then saw the blood yourself. Obviously, you must've cut your foot on glass that sat in the water. I mean what could you expect ? "Oh shit," you say, nonchalantly. It hurt of course, but the blood didn't really startle you.

"You probably shouldn't walk on that. The ground is dirty," Onyakapon advises.

"We mind as well call it a night anyways. I'm pretty hungry," your brother says, gathering some of the belongings you guys had bought with you.

"(y/n) can take care of her cut and we'll go and get takeout from this place up the road," Sasha says. Truth was she's been plotting on the Jamaican spot since she saw it on yall way to the waterfall. She did want you to get better though.

"Damn yall just gonna leave me by myself ?" you say, pretending to care.

"I'll stay-"

"I'll stay-"

Everyone stared as Onyakapon and C looked at each other, seeing which one would back down first. "Never mind. You got it," Onyakapon says pretty passive aggressively. Ever since the dinner, he'd apologized to you and gave C a half apology.

It was something.

So ever since then he's been trying his best to give him a chance. Put it was just so damn hard.

Everyone was in agreement and C was quick to carry you on his back during the five minute venture. When you guys reached the RV, everyone piled into C's and Zen's car to get food, while you and C stayed in the RV. He didn't put you down until he sat you down at the seats of the dining table. You kept your foot elevated, the blood still dripping onto the vehicle's wood flooring as C retrieved a first aid kid that was stashed in the bathroom. He had no real clue what he was doing so you walked him through. "Okay take out the alcohol pad and wipe the cut," you direct.

He listens rummaging through the kit to find the small package. He took out the dense pad and wiped it along the huge gash on your foot. "Damn. This cut is big as hell," he winces as if he was the one in pain.

You hissed through your teeth at the alcohol doing its job. It stung like hell. "Did I do something wrong ?" he questioned frantically.

"No ! You're fine. Just hurt a little," you reassure him. He finished up by wrapping some gauze around your foot and finding a pair of bedroom slippers in your bag, in hopes that it would relieve any other pain, walking on the hard floor could cause.

After, you hopped into the shower to get the outside off of you, C taking a shower after you. When you were done everyone was still out. By now if they weren't back, it probably meant they ended up stopping somewhere to get snacks for the bonfire later that night or somewhere using a fake ID to get substances. Whatever the case was, the two of you were all alone.

You and C were peacefully watching tv, snuggled close to each other, with your head on his shoulder and his hand on your thigh. That's when C's phone started buzzing profusely. Just as you started to get suspicious, your phone gave you the notification that JuJu sent a post to you, his, and Bryson's instagram group chat.

And guess who crawled out of their cave. Nope not a picnic bear out of its actual cave . Probably something way worse.

Without a moment's hesitation, you showed C. "Apparently your girl wants you to come home," you tease.

He lightly pushes the phone away from his line of vision. "Man that's not my girl. You are," he responds.

"With girls posting about you like this ? I dunno." You really liked C, honestly and truly but there was no way you were about to put yourself through all of this drama senior year. Especially not over a boy. Your life was starting to finally get stress-free and no matter how big the crush, you weren't going to let anything get in the way of that.

"I promise you (y/n), I'm completely done with her," he says, taking your hands in his.

"It's not about that. It's just..the drama's not for me. If you want this to go any farther, you need to get these bitches in check."

Yeah that's right (y/n) lay down the law !

C looked at you with his deep golden eyes, his not daring to break the connection. "If you wanted, I'd hire security to keep her away," he began joking until he saw that you were serious. C was a player but that all went out the window once he discovered that he actually had a crush on you. And he hadn't had a crush on a girl since.. middle school. He was completely willing to change for you. "I'll take care of it right now. Watch this," he says.

On that note, he blocked her and her friends, on everything and made sure that whatever number she would try to call off of would go straight to his "Unknown Senders", not being seen unless he checked. But he didn't care enough to do that. However, he left them unblocked on Snapchat but only because of what he was going to do next. "There. I know it's not much but it's a start," he says. You honestly weren't expecting him to be that willing and to do it that fast. You were happy he did though.

"Keep it up and you'll get more than a kiss," you joke.

"Oh ! One more thing, hold on." He then takes out his phone and goes to post on Snapchat. "Come get in this, Princess."
