Chapter one: the start.

            “Castaway, goin' at it alone, castaway, now I'm on my own, castaway, ..Ouch what the hell was that for?” I asked Britt, she had just thrown a pillow at me. “Your singing sucks. Some one had to stop you.” She smirked at me. I had Britt and my girl friend, Amanda over. We were upstairs on my bed staring at the ceiling when we heard my front door open. We all got up and ran down stairs to greet breanna and her boyfriend, which I never remembered his name, and glad for that.

            “Hey, Breanna. How ya doin’?” I asked as I approached the last few steps on the wooden stair case in my house. “Fine, how are you guys doing?” Breanna asked back. “Just like you, fine. So what are we doing to day?” asked Amanda. “I don’t know nor do I care.” I commented but that was my usual answer. “Why don’t we just go down into the woods and hang out there and just catch up on everything?” asked Breanna. “Sounds good to me, lets go.” said Britt. “Wait.” I said, “We need some snacks!” I said as I ran into my kitchen looking through all of my cabinets. I came back with a few bags of Oreos. We all got our shoes on and we all walked out of the door, and I followed behind them, slamming and locking the door.

            About fifteen minutes later we were in the woods, in what I guess you could a hut or a small cabin. The small cabin or hut, which ever you preferred to call it was in terrible shape. The roof wasn’t even really a roof, it only covered about one-tenth of the floor underneath it. But what was inside the small cabin was what made the place great. There were 2 couches, an old bed that was moldy because of the rain, there was what looked like a fridge and maybe a stove, but none of us dared to try and see if it worked. The floor was wood but it didn’t look to sturdy, we were all trying to fix the floor as much as possible, we never wanted to fall through the floor because we were afraid that there were dead bodies down in what should have been the basement or cellar. There was windows but all the glass was broken and it let a lot of cold air in during the winter, so we put garbage bags in the windows, but it didn’t matter it was way to cold to go to the cabin in the winter, or at least it was. Last summer we found a fireplace, and ever since then we came up here during winters and made smores and talked to each other about our lifes' and our feelings. But what was the most fun was Christmas, even though I didn’t like Christmas because I’m not really religious, I had always gone out into the woods were pine trees grew and I would chop on down and bring it back to the small cabin. It made me glad to make my few friends that I had happy. I never wanted to see them upset or sad about anything.

            Amanda and I were on one of the couches sitting together holding each other, Breanna and her boyfriend were out side, doing what I didn’t want to know, and Britt was on the other couch trying to call her boyfriend that I have yet to see, but it seemed as if she really liked him, I really didn’t know, all I was concerned about was that he treated her right. “I’ll be right back guys.” Britt told us as she got up and walked out of the door. “Where are you going?” Amanda asked. “I’m going to get my boyfriend and bring him here so you guys can meet him” Britt said as she left. “Wow. Were going to meet her boyfriend, I’m shocked.” I told Amanda. “Why? Because we never meet him yet? Because you don’t know what he looks like?” she asked looking up at me. “No, I’m just shocked because it isn’t like her to hold back on introducing us to her boyfriends, and she held back this time, what like a month?” I replied and kissed her on her forehead. She smiled and kissed my chin.

            About ten or five minutes later Breanna and her boyfriend came into the cabin and went to the back room where the fireplace was and they took one of the bags of Oreos with them, “don’t eat all of them” I said after them. Her boyfriend just flipped me off as he turned the around the corner to go into the back room. “What does she see in that kid?” I asked Amanda. “Don’t worry about it, he isn’t anything, don’t work your self up about it.” She replied. “I try not to get worked up about it, but I don’t just trust him at all.” I told Amanda with a concerned look on my face. “Just shut up about it, worry only about me!” she told me. I smiled and gave her hand that I was holding a squeeze.

            About twenty minutes later Britt rushed thro the door with whom I guessed was her boyfriend behind her. “I’m back” she sang. “Guys this is boyfriend Adam.” Britt continued. “Kolmen?” I asked. “Yea why?” he asked. “Holy fucking shit! Your Adam Kolmen?” I asked again. “Yea why?” I asked. I couldn’t believe it. My long lost child hood friend was standing right in front of me and he didn’t recognize me but seemed to know everyone else but Breanna’s boyfriend that I would love to kill at the moment.

            I didn’t continue my convocation with Adam any further because I thought he though I was insane with some mental illness.  But I felt mad and upset that he didn’t remember me from our childhood friendship. I walked out of the cabin and laid in the dirt looking at the sky that was turning a pretty pink. As I started to feel the tears fall from my eyes I heard foot steps behind me, I turned around quickly and saw Amanda there. I fell into her arms for comfort and love, a feeling that I never got anywhere else.

            Soon it was late and the sky was a dark blue. “We should go.” I suggested to the group. “I guess so, its getting late, and I’m starving” replied Britt. “I brought Oreos you dumb ass!” I said as I threw a bag of Oreos at her. She chuckled, “I’ve always told you I’m a dumb blonde!” she remarked back. “What ever lets go before it get to cold and we freeze to death. “Breanna! Were leaving get your ass out here!” Amanda yelled. “Okay I’m coming!” she yelled from the back room.

            She appeared from the back room with her boyfriend at her side. “We’re leaving.” I told her. “Well lets go then.” She said back waling past me and walking out the door. I rolled my eyes and took Amanda’s hand and walked out of the door, walking behind Breanna, I could tell that she was mad or upset at something, it was most likely that she was upset that me and her boyfriend still can’t stand each other.  I only hoped that she would dump him and find someone else to go out with, but as always my wishes never came true, she always saw her boyfriend as “the one.” I wouldn’t tell her wrong, nor would I tell her about what I thought of her boyfriends.

            When we got to my house I saw two cars, “Shit, my step dad is home!” I exclaimed. “What’s wrong with your step dad?” Amanda asked. I didn’t reply to her question. When I went through my front door I said, “To go straight to my room and wait till I get up there to fuck my room up.” They were sneaking up to my room as I was going into the kitchen to get all of us drinks. “Where in the fucking hell were you?”  Asked my step dad. “Where do you think, with my friends like I am every single god dam day!” I replied trying to keep my cool.

             When I went back up to my room I saw Britt and Adam on the floor, Breanna and her shit head of a boyfriend on my bed and Amanda wasn’t in my room. “Were is Amanda?” I asked. “In the bathroom.” Replied Britt. I sat on my bed and made Breanna and her boyfriend get off so Britt and Adam could come on my bed. As I passed out the drinks Amanda came back into the room and sat next to me and took my cup and drank from it, “what hell Amanda?” I said, “You have your own cup!” I told her. “ What you don’t love me anymore? I can’t drink your drink?” she asked making a sad puppy dog face. I laughed and kissed her on the check and took her drink. I reached over Amanda’s head and turned on my CD player that was on a self above my bed. “Today is the first day of the rest of our lifes' tomorrow is to late to pretended that everything is alright.” One of Greendays song was playing from my CD player. “Hell, no. NO,no,no. No more greenday. Dam this CD is like 80 years old!” explained Britt with a nasty look on her face. “ NO, its only 9 years old!” I corrected Britt, but Amanda had already turned of the song and put in one of her CDs. Soon, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

            I woke with a stutter. “What time is it?” I asked. “Its 10 you sleepy head.” Replied Amanda. I could feel her hand on my chest, I gave her a weak smile. “I’m still starving!” said Britt. “Oh, Sorry I forgot, hand me the phone there.” As Britt handed me the phone I asked, “Plain or what?” no one answered me, so I called the pizza shack that was around the corner and I ordered us two plain pizzas.

            About thirty minutes later the pizza was here. I ran down the stairs hoping to beat anyone to the door, but my oldest younger sister was there basically scratching her head because she didn’t know who had ordered the pizza. I reached above her head and grabbed the pizza and gave the guy a twenty. I ran back upstairs hoping not to get caught with the pizzas, and I luckily did. “Here Britt, pizza happy?” I asked her handing her a box. “Yes very, thank you.” Replied Britt.

            As I ate my pizza I was thinking hard to myself, “It’s been almost five months since me and Amanda have been going out, what is going to happen? What if something goes wrong?” I didn’t want to think what would happen if I did something stupid to lose Amanda again, but what would I do if she did something? Would I dump her or give her another chance because I love her so much? I hated to think that she was cheating on me or doing worse behind me back. I always told myself that Amanda was mine, she is my soul mate, but in time I think it will be known as a lie. I always though from the begging that this would end and we would never talk again, and Britt and Breanna would remain friends with Amanda and leave me in the dirt, laughing at me. I had always hoped that this would never happen, but I am not sure if this will happen or not but I really hope that I won’t. “Lets get some work done on our cabin tomorrow.” I suggested. “Yea it will be great, we now have three boys to work on the cabin. I think the roof should be worked on the most.” Replied Breanna. “Well, the roof won’t be easy, but I know how to fix a roof, and with three guys it will be a lot easier, if we get up early we can have the roof done by maybe ten or twelve at night. The work will be worth it” I replied. “I’ll do it.” Replied Adam.  We all then looked at Breanna’s boyfriend and waited for an answer. “I donna? Is it really worth it. How don’t you know someone else uses that cabin?” he looked scared to death about our plan of fixing the roof. “Cause’ the cabin is my family’s dumb ass!” I said giving him a nasty look. “what ever” he replied. At that point I wanted to through his ass out of my window but I didn’t because I saw the look that Breanna was giving me, so I sat back and grabbed Amanda and laid back with her in my arms. “stop it, I’m eating!” she replied pushing her self away from me, and gave me a slight punch in the stomach.

            I looked at the clock and it read: 12:15. “Oh, shit, we’re missing our midnight horror movies!” I said as I flicked on the TV and put on AMC. They were showing hide and seek 2. “What time is it? 12:15? Shit I better get home!” Adam said getting up and putting on his shoes. “What. Britt you didn’t tell him about our Friday night traditions?” I asked. “Uh, no. I forgot to.” she said looking at me with an embarrassed look. “Yea well, let em’ go home. Unless you want to stay?” I said looking his way. “What are you talking about?” he asked. “We as friends, on Fridays, go to the cabin and hang out with each other, then come back here and get food, like pizza or Chinese food, and we all crash here, and watch horror movies until three or four in the morning and them sleep.” I replied. “So is this why you have always rejected my dates I have offered you on Friday nights?” Adam asked Britt. “Yes, Friday mean more to me than my boyfriends do.” she replied. Adam knelt down to Brittany and gave her a few kisses and left the house heading towards his house.

“So, what he wasn’t supposed to know about our plans on Friday nights?” I asked Britt. “No, he isn’t allowed to sleep over someone’s house that their parents don’t know. So I never told him about our plans for Friday nights, plus your room is too crowded as it is.” She said back with a weak smile. “Is not Britt. Me and Amanda on my water bed, you usually sleep up here to, there’s room for another person up here. Breanna and Her boyfriend sleep on the floor. There’s enough room for Adam to sleep in my room with you, it isn’t like were all fat or anything” I told Britt. “Shut up and lets get back to the movie.” She laughed and kicked my foot.

            I turned up the volume on my TV and I pulled Amanda back with me as I laid back, this time there wasn’t any jester, just a few kisses and a smile. “Holy shit! There having sex!” said Breanna. “No, were not twit.” I replied to Breanna. “Not you two dumb ass, you would know what I am talking about IF you watched the movie” Breanna replied in a snide voice.

            Soon the movie was over and then we started our traditions that we loved. “Let the fun begging.” I said as I reached under my bed and pulled out my Xbox 360. “what shall we play today?” I asked. “what do we always play dumb ass.” Said Amanda. I got my Xbox 360 hooked up and running, I then put in this music mixing disc in. We always loved mixing our favorite song together. I think my favorite mix I did was something that was really stupid about the president when I was 13, and how he got killed in during his speeches and there was no investigations to try to find the killer. Brittany usually mixed about Emo stuff, mainly breakups. Breanna usually did  stuff about monkeys, or something crazy that made everyone laugh, and her boyfriend, I had no clue what he mixed about, nor did I care, I was always away from my room when he did his mixes or I took a quick nap.

            After we were done mixing I re-hide my Xbox 360 and by the time I did that it was only 2:30. “so what do we do now to kill time?” I asked. “I have an idea.” Chirped Breanna. “Yea, and what is that?” I asked in a funny voice. “Why don’t we look at stuff to buy for your cabin.” Said Breanna saying your cabin in a weird tone. I guess she and everyone else knew except for Breanna’s boyfriend and Adam that I was lieing about the cabin being mine, but they didn’t know that it soon would be mine, I only needed $500 more till I have enough to buy the cabin. “sounds boring, but if you want to you know where the computer is” I said pointing toward the corner where my computer was. “Foie on you then I’ll do it alone.” Breanna said as she got up and walked toward my computer.

            Out of no where Britt said, “I’m still hungry.” “How in the hell are you sill hungry, dam you you’re an eating machine!” I replied back to her. I reached up and turned on my CD player and forgot that Amanda’s CD was still in. I handed her her CD and I put mine back in, “Don’t you dare think about it this time Britt.” I told her giving her a stern look. Soon the words, “ to love you is to hate you , so loving you must be like suicide, but that’s okay with me as long as you don’t mind.”

            Soon it was 3:00 and Breanna was still looking at stuff on the computer, her boyfriend was sleeping on the floor already, and Britt, Amanda, and I were sitting on my water bed bored shitless. “That’s it I can’t take it anymore!” I blurted out. “What?” asked Britt with a weird look on her face. “I’m fucking bored. I can’t take the silence anymore, I need to do something. We still have about an hour of time to kill, so what do we do?” I said. “Lay back and relax.” Said Amanda laying back and looking at me. I rolled my eyes and laid next to her and put my hand on her head. We both smiled at each other, “Well I’m gonna go to sleep.” Said Breanna shutting down my computer and laying down next to her boyfriend. Soon Amanda and Britt were sleeping on my water bed, some how I was stuck in the middle of them both, and I didn’t want to wake one of them to ask them to move because I didn’t want Amanda to think that I had feelings for Britt when I didn’t so I moved as close to Amanda as close as I could move against her. “I love you Amanda, good night.” I whispered even though I knew she was sleeping. I kissed her on her check and feel asleep listening to Greenday’s CD.

Chapter two: Cabin fever

“Shit!” I exclaimed as I awoke and looked at the clock. It was already eight fifteen and we were supposed to be at the cabin fixing the roof. When I looked around I noticed that I was alone, there wasn’t anyone there besides me and I didn’t hear anyone downstairs. As I looked around more I saw a letter taped to my door, it read:

Hey Hun, down at the cabin fixing the roof. Adam is here too, bring down some pizza please!! And some music!!(not greenday!!)

Much love,

            Amanda!!<333333

I called for pizza and I told them I’d pick it up. I got dressed and got some tools and hoped on my bike. I got to the pizza shack and got our pizza and hurried to the cabin. When I got there I was in shocked, half of the roof was done already. “How in the hell did you get this done so fast?” I asked Adam, and then I saw a head that I never saw before, “Finally you get here” Britt walked up behind me, “So I see that you got the pizza, thanks. Oh and by the way Adam’s dad came down to help you guys with the roof.” She continued as she went into the cabin with the pizza. As I looked as Adam’s dad I realized I made a big mistake, Britt’s boyfriend Adam wasn’t my Adam, and this was a different Adam. I felt like a fool, but I went inside the cabin to see if I could find Amanda anywhere. As I walked in I saw her on one of the couches listening to music, I plopped down on the couch beside her and gave her a kiss, “Sleep well last night?” I asked. “No, some one was almost on top of me.” She said smiling. I gave her a few kisses and then went out side to work on the roof.

After about three or four hours of work we had the roof done and repaired. “Boy is I glad that we got that done before winter came. Now all we need is new windows, cable, electricity, and a few beds, and a stove.” I said climbing down the ladder. “Well you boys did a great job. I can’t believe that you got it done in only a few hours.” Breanna said, coming out side to greet her boyfriend. It was about five o’clock and I had no clue what to do. I just sat on the couch thinking to myself, as I always do.

“So what do we do now?” Britt asked. “I’m tired. I need sleep.” I replied raising my hand. “When aren’t you tired?” Amanda asked, “When ever you want to spend time with me!” I replied. Amanda ran and plopped on the couch with me. I gave her a wired look, and she just slapped my leg. “Urg! Now I’m dead.” I said and let my head hang and I stuck my tongue out. “Oh, shut up!” Amanda said as she moved to lay on top of me and gave me a few kisses and got up to get a piece of pizza.

I closed my eyes and dozed of by accident and I woke up about an hour and once again, there wasn’t anyone around or in the cabin. “Jesus fucking Christ! Why can’t anyone ever wake me up?” I yelled. I got up and walked out side to see if there was anyone out there, but there wasn’t. I rolled my eyes and went back inside and walked around on the floor in a circle. What do I do know I wondered? Where do I go now? To Britt’s or home? I don’t know anymore. I went back outside and ran around the cabin and when I got a little than half way around the building I tripped over something, but I didn’t know what. I picked my self up and I went to try and find what I tripped on.

After looking around for a while I found what I might of tripped over, it was a cable wire. “Holy shit!” I exclaimed. I picked up the cable wire and followed were it went. As I followed I noticed that the other end went through the cabin, which meant that we could get cable in the cabin! I was now determined to find out were the end of the wire went even though it took me almost a half and hour I found that the wire lead to the cable company’s office place. I ran back to my house and jumped on my computer. As I tried to find more info on the cabin that I wanted to buy it said that the house was able to have: cable, phones, but no indoor pluming. I jumped up and down at seeing this and I ran down stairs to ask my mother if I could have $500, but she wasn’t home. I looked at a clock and it was only 6:15, my mom wouldn’t be home for another two hours or so.

I called Britt on her cell, “Were are you guys?” I asked. “Down at the pizza shack, guess you didn’t get the note.” She replied. “Don’t leave until I get there, I have great news for you guys.” I said hanging up. I grabbed my jacket and bolted down the steps and ran out of the front door.

I made it to the pizza shack in about two minutes flat.  I rushed into the door panting like a dog, I looked around and noticed everyone looking at me. I spotted Britt, Amanda, Breanna, and their boyfriends in the  usual spot, the table all the way in the back. “Hey guys.” I said as I reached the table. “So, what is the news?” asked Britt. I took a set and continued, “Well our cabin that we hang out at is for sale. All I need is $500 more to buy the place, and we can get cable, and a phone line there, but no indoor pluming.”  “You’re joking right?” asked Amanda. “Would I tell a lie to you?” I asked Amanda giving her a kiss. “So all you need is $500 more to be able to afford the cabin, but how much is it?” Breanna asked. “That is for you not to know. All  I can say, is that if I can get the cabin, that’s all of your guys birthday presents.” I replied making everyone laugh.

            I was stroking Amanda’s head when we all heard gun shots in the far distant, which made us all jump. “Holy shit! What was that?” asked Britt. “I have no fucking clue. Probably just kids messing around with a BB gun or something.” I replied looking at her with a scared look, “Or at least I hope.” I whispered under my breathe. Breanna appeared around the corner and look shocked. “Did you hear that to or am I going crazy?” she asked stepping around the corner with her boyfriend at her heels. “Breanna you are crazy, but no, we all heard it.” Amanda replied with a laugh. Breanna just waved her hand at Amanda and sat on the floor.

            After about five or ten minutes the gun shots got closer and closer. “What in the hell is going on out there?” asked Adam. “I have no clue but I can tell that a BB gun isn’t being fired.” I replied looking worried. I looked down in my lap and saw Amanda sleeping, I looked toward Britt and she was asleep also, and Breanna was laying down, she had been asleep for a while. “I say we go take a look.” I told Adam. “I guess we should.” He replied. We both tried to get up with out waking Amanda or Britt. We went into the backroom to fetch Breanna’s boyfriend and tell him to come with us. When we went into the back room we saw that he was sleeping, so I kicked him. He woke up with a fright, “What the hell?” he asked. “Get your ass up. We’re going out side to check what’s going on out there and your coming.” I told him. “The hell I am.” He replied getting up to his feet. “What do you mean the hell I am?” I asked him. “I’m not going out there with you two.” He said.

            I had taken enough shit from Breanna’s boyfriend, at this point I could kill him with my bare hands, and I just grabbed his shirt and pulled him toward the door. The next thing I knew I had a terrible pain in the back of my head; I realized that Breanna’s shit head boyfriend had just punched me in the back of the head. “Cheap shot ass hole.” I said turning around to face him. He started to back up, but he bumped into Adam and let out a squeal like a piglet might. Adam pushed him back towards me and I gave him a hard punch in the jaw. He fell to the ground nearly crying his eyes out.

            “We don’t have time for this; let’s check what’s going on out side.” I told Adam as I was walking toward the door. Adam followed me, I wrenched the door open and looked around, and as far as I could see, I didn’t see anyone. I took a few steps out of the cabin and heard another gunshot. I now realized were the shots were coming from. I ran up a head and as soon as I saw people I hugged the ground like I hug Amanda. I saw three kids taking turns shooting a shotgun. I looked behind me to see were Adam was and he was about fifteen feet behind me, I motioned for him to get on the ground and he did so. As soon as he was next to me I told him, “We have to get that gun from then.” He agreed. Just as one kid was about to pass the gun to another kid, me and Adam got up and ran. I grabbed the gun before the other kid could reach for it.

            I reached for the camber and let the reaming shotgun shell fall to the dirt near my foot. “Get your ass home before you don’t have an ass!” I yelled at the kids. The took of running like chickens screaming bloody murder.

             Adam reached for his cell and dialed 9-1-1. He reported what just happened and said, “Okay, there going to send two cops down here to retrieve the gun and ask us a few questions.” “Jesus Christ.” I replied making my way back to the cabin.

            When me and Adam re-entered the cabin, Breanna, and Amanda were beside Breanna’s crying boyfriend and Britt was in a corner and looked like she was laugh but trying not to show it. “What the hell is wrong with you Christian?” asked Breanna looking sad and mad at the same time. “What the hell I s wrong with me? Me?” I asked, as Amanda got to her feet and walked up to me and whispered, “I can’t believe this, out of all the people I know, I didn’t know that you took part in fighting.” She pushed passed me and went out side.

             I was in shock; I let the shotgun fall from my hands. “Jesus Christ.” I whispered. Adam gave me a pat on the back and went outside for what I guess was to talk to Amanda. I went over to Britt, “What did he say to get them mad at me?” I asked. Britt laughed and said, “He said that he was walking out the door to go look for someone with you guys and you took a “cheap shot” at him.” I turned around and punched the wall. My fist when through the rotting wood with ease, “Opps, guess I’ll have to fix that to now. Dam it.” I said, Britt now laughing harder.

            Breanna walked up to me and Britt, “Shut up, god, I know he wasn’t the greatest boyfriend but he was a good on.” She said, “Wait what do you mean wasn’t and was?” I asked. “He broke up with me.” She said, she turned and sat on a couch and began to cry. “God damit, why me?” I asked, moving closer to Breanna. “Breanna, I’m deathly sorry for what happened. I take all the blame.” I said giving her a hug, just as Amanda walked in. I stopped hugging Breanna for a moment and walked over to Amanda, “Sorry for what I did, I really am.” I told her holding out my arms waiting for a hug. She walked into my arms and gave me a hug, “No, I’m sorry, I believes that ass hole. Adam told me what really happen.” She replied giving me a kiss.

            For the first time since I was back in the cabin I noticed that Breanna’s boyfriend or ex…, had left. When I looked back at the door, I saw the two cops, I never liked the authority, I was always causing trouble and was caught by cops most of the time, “Christian” said one of the cops tipping his hat in a greeting like, “a hello.” This cop was the one and almost only cops that could catch me. “Chuck” I replied waving at him. “So what went down here?” he asked. “Just kids being fuckin stupid and shooting a shotgun of in all directions.” Said Adam from the back of the room. “Where’s the gun?” asked the other cop. I pointed to the spot were I gad dropped it when I was shock by what Amanda had said to me. “Thank you Christian, hope I won’t need to catch you soon, I have been bored lately though. You have been out of trouble for almost 5 months.” Said Chuck as he left.

Chapter three: the cheaters

            “Move over!” I was yelling and pushing Breanna of my bed. It was 10:15 and I had asked my mom for the $500 about an hour ago. I wasn’t surprised that she had said yes. For as far as I could remember I almost always got what I wanted. I had to go to some sort of office place to fill out paper work for the cabin to be officially mine.

            Once again we were in my room and eating pizza for the pizza shack. “So now what?” asked Britt. “I have no clue.” I replied. “I know.” Said Breanna, “Let’s sleep at the cabin tonight!” “Sure, why not?” I asked. I looked at everyone in the room and they shook their heads in agreement. “Okay. Lets get our stuff and tell our parents.” Amanda said getting up. I threw the phone to Breanna and she called her mother. “Okay I’m in.” said Breanna throwing the phone to Britt, after about two minutes Britt replied, “Me too.”, and the phone was given to Adam. “Me three.” He said handing the phone to Amanda. After about five or six minutes Amanda hung the phone up and said, “Me not.”

            “What? Why not?” asked Britt. “I donnu.” Amanda replied, “My mom said no, she needs me home tonight.” She replied again, getting up and grabbing her jacket. I stood up and walked her down stairs and to the front door. “Hey, I love you.” I told her giving her a tight huge. “Yes I know, and I love you too.” She replied then gave me a kiss. “Can you call me on my cell later tonight?” I asked. “How late?” Amanda wondered. “I’ll probably up all night.” I replied. “Okay I’ll call you then.” Amanda said, giving me a final long kiss and walked out of the door.

            “Awe!” called Britt from the top of the stairs. “Are we ready to go?” I asked. “Why yes we are.” She replied sliding down the banister. “So who is sleeping with who?” asked Breanna turning read, apparently already knowing the answer. “Well me and Adam and Christian and…” Britt just stopped and looked at Breanna. Me being me just realized that me and Breanna had to sleep together on one of the couch, and I didn’t know if Amanda would get pissed at this or not.

            We were soon in the cabin laying the blankets from my house on the couches. “So now what do we do?” asked Britt. “Why do you always ask that?” I asked her. “I donnu, I know lets play truth or day.” Said Britt. Everyone but me sat down in a circle, I didn’t want to do something that would make Amanda get made at me or anything. “What, not joining Christian?” asked Britt. “No, I don’t want to do anything that would get Amanda made at me.” I replied. “Chicken are we now?” she replied. I sat down in the circle and Britt smiled. “Okay who shall I dare first? Breanna I dare you to make out with Christian.” She said tauntingly. Breanna made her way near me and at the last moment my cell phone rang. I blotted up and answered it, “Hello” I answered. “Hey Hun. So what are you guys doing with out me?” she asked. “They’re playing truth or dare.” I replied, “What not playing are you?” she asked. “No, I wouldn’t want to do anything to make you mad.” I told her. “No, play I wont get mad, besides what could you do to make me mad?” she asked. “Uh, I can think of a few things.” I replied. “Well then don’t do those few things, oh Opps, sorry I have to go, I’ll call back later.” she said. I put my cell phone down and re-joined the circle. Breanna madder her way over to me and I gave her a quick kiss. “NO! a real kiss Christian, I know Amanda won’t mind.” She ordered. “go fuck a tree.” I told her and turned to Breanna and gave her a real kiss, a kiss that I would only want to give to Amanda, not to a friend.

            “Okay no what should you do?” I asked, looking for revenge. “Oh! Okay I want ya to give Breanna a real kiss, a kiss that the French do!” I said. “What a French kiss?” she asked. “No shit Sherlock.” I replied. The face Britt made was a great sight. As she moved in for the move I pulled out my cell phone and took a picture of them French kissing and sent it to Amanda. “Oh my god, you did not just do that.” Said Britt looking as if she was ready to kill me. “do what, take a picture of you to kissing and send it to Amanda?” I asked, “DUH!” she yelled. “Maybe…” I said. Before I knew it Britt was on me trying to strangle me, “URGH! I can’t believe you!” she said. My cell phone rang, “H-ll-oo?” I asked, I sounded funny because Britt was still on me and trying to kill me. “Holy shit, I can’t believe that they did that.” Amanda said. Britt tore the phone from my hand, “and I can’t believe that he did that.” Britt said getting off of me.

            “What time is it?” Britt asked. “12:30” I replied. “Well I’m ready for bed.” She said. I knew that she was mad at me, but I was only having fun. Adam went over and laid with Britt. “Want to go for a walk?” I asked Breanna. She got up and walked out of the door, “So I take that as a yes.” I said to myself and got up and ran to catch up with her. “So…” I said not knowing what to talk about. “So…” she replied, apparently also, not knowing what to talk about, “That was, um… ahh, a good kiss.” She said turning red, “Which one the one…” I was cut off , “your kiss, not Britt’s” she said with a laugh.

            We didn’t talk until we got back to the cabin, “Wow! It’s almost 1:30, we were gone for over an hour.” I said. “Wow. I didn’t seem like an hour.” Breanna replied laying down on the couch. “I know.” I replied laying down on the couch next to her. I felt awkward sleeping with someone I wasn’t going out with, it just made me think that Amanda would break up with me because of it. “So?” Breanna asked. “What?” I asked back. “It just seems odd…”she said but I cut her off, “What that were going to sleep with each other?” I asked. “Well,… yea, I mean, yes, I never imagined that this would happen.” She replied. “Yes, you must have been brain washed by Amanda and Britt always saying that were meant for each other.” I said turning on my side to face her. “Well, I donnu, I always had a great deal of feelings for you.” She replied, “Well I can say that I feel as if they brain washed me by saying that were meant for each other, I believe it now.” I said in a sad voice, knowing that I always knew that I loved Amanda more than Breanna.

             I turned away from Breanna because I could feel the tears start to fall. “Castawaytion.” I whispered. Breanna put her hand on my shoulder, it was as if she knew that I was crying. “It’s okay, I know how you feel.” She said in a calm voice. “No you don’t I don’t think you do.” I replied. “I probably don’t but does that mean that I cant comfort you?” she asked still talking in her calm voice. Her hand went from on my shoulder to on my wet face. I turned to lay on my back, I stared at the ceiling, “You guys have been great to me for these ten years. I really do love all of you guys, but I really love Amanda, I… I’m just sorry Breanna” I told her, “Theres no need to be sorry, Christian.” She said and bent down to give me a kiss on my forehead, but I moved and kissed her on the lips.

“What are you doing?” she asked. “making the best of the moment.” I said and pulled her in for another kiss. Britt stirred on the other couch and me and Breanna looked over to see if she was awake or not, but she wasn’t, so I kissed her again. Before I knew it I had Breanna lying on top of me, making out like I have never made out with anyone before. At the time I wasn’t thinking of Amanda and what would happen if she found out. I was only thinking about Breanna and how good at kissing she was. I couldn’t take the pressure anymore, I took of my shirt, “What are you doing?” asked Breanna, “I’m getting hot, your, urgh, shut up and just kiss me!” I told her.

Before I knew it the sun was peaking up behind the trees and me and Breanna were still sitting there Kissing each other. By that time my mouth was dry and I was sweating so bad, but Breanna, I could tell didn’t want the moment to stop, “Let’s go for a walk.” I said getting up. We got our shoes on and walked out of the door hoping not to wake Britt or Adam, “Lets go to the lake” Breanna said, “Lake, what lake?” I asked. “Dumb ass just follow me.” She said grabbing my arm.

Soon we were at the lake that I knew nothing about. “How did you find this place?” I asked. Breanna pointed over to a house, “That’s one of my ex’s house, come, follow me.” She said. As I followed her she took me to a passage that lead to a “room” that was hidden by a water fall that I had saw before we went into the passage. We sat down, “Wow, this is beautiful.” I said just before Breanna attacked me and began kissing me. Soon the birds were out and singing their bird songs, and me and Breanna were under that water fall still kissing each other and embracing each other in our arms.

My cell phone rang and it scared the shit out of me and Breanna, I looked at who, “Shit, its Amanda.” I said standing up, “Hello?” I asked, “Hey Hun, were are you?” she asked, “Ah…, um, I’m at,…um?” I said trying to sound that I wasn’t under pressure but I really was, I had Breanna kissing my neck, and I was trying to think of a lie to tell Amanda. “What lost are we?” she asked “yea, I just got up.” I said. “oh, well, yea know THAT’S BULLSHIT!!! YOUR NOT AT THE CABIN!!!WERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?” she was yelling now, “Breanna took me to a lake a mile or so from the cabin for an early swim, she said that it would do a great deal of relaxation, and she was right.” I said. “What the lake by one of her ex’s house?” she asked now not yelling. “Yea I think so.” I said. “Okay don’t move, I’m coming to see.” She said, I hung up and sat back down, “She’s coming down here right?” she asked, “You know it.” I replied standing back up, I kissed her and told her to follow me. I led her back to were we first were, “we need to look like we were just swimming.” I told her but she was already in the water swimming, I ran after her until me feet didn’t reach the bottom and more, then I swam after her.

“Breanna, you can’t tell Amanda about what happened.” I told her, “I know, I promise I won’t.” she said swimming away farther. In about five minutes Amanda showed up looking her usual self, happy, and great looking. “Hey Amanda.” I said as I swam toward the edge of the lake so I could get out of the water. I looked at my clock and it was only eight fifteen. “Why are you up so early?” I asked her. “Well I’m sorry for wanting to see you so bad.” She replied with a smile. She handed me a towel and set one on the ground for Breanna when she got out of the lake. I dried of and gave Amanda a hug. As soon as Breanna was dried of we headed back to the cabin to get more sleep.

When we got back to the cabin me and Amanda laid on the same couch that me and Breanna had just made out on for almost seven hours. Amanda laid down and rapped herself in the blankets, for once I noticed how cold it was. I laid next to Amanda and tried to take some of her blankets, but I was unsuccessful. “Amanda, give me some blanket, please?” I asked. She just let some of the blanket loose and I picked it up and covered my freezing body.

I woke up, my watch was beeping. I almost forgot about the papers I had to sign. I got up with out trying to wake Amanda, I went over to Breanna and woke her up, “Bre, do you wanna go with me to sign the papers for the cabin.” She just got up and put on her jacket. I looked at my clock, it was 10:30. I had about and hour to get to the office to sign the papers. I walked over to were I had put my jacket, I grabbed it. With all of our shuffle me and Breanna woke up Britt. She was now getting ready to go to.

Soon we were all walking out of the woods, around the corner and to the office. We walked in and I had to sign in and we had to wait for about five or ten minutes. A lady came out and called me back to what I guess was her office. Soon I was ready to leave, with the papers saying I owned the cabin. I was so happy to now actually own something that I could call mine and be proud of it.

We got back to the cabin just as it was started to rain, “Well at least we got back before it started to rain.” Said Britt yawning. “What time…” She continued. “To early to be up.” I said, I looked around the cabin as if I was lost, I didn’t see Adam on the same couch as he was when we left. I looked over to were I was laying with Amanda and noticed, that the couch was also emptied. “Were could she of gone?” I asked. “Christian, you never are good at finding notes are you?” rang Breanna holding up a note:

Hey guys, were waiting for you at Breanna’s house, you know our ways, when it rains off to Breanna’s house.               <3 much  love, see ya soon.

We all turned around and out of the cabin to go to Breanna’s house. On the way, I had took Breanna’s and Britt’s hand, soon we were hoping down the road, singing song and getting weird looks from people, “Fuck off!” I yelled at some post man who was getting mail out of a mail box and had stopped to look at the three crazy kids running loose in town.

We were soon at Breanna’s she opened the door and looked for her mom as me and Britt went up stairs to her room. As I opened the door I saw Amanda and Adam sleeping on Breanna’s bed. I went over to her bed and shoved Adam off so I could lay next to Amanda. Breanna came upstairs with some waffles and a jug of orange juice. She just set them down on her table and tried to squeeze on her bed. Pretty soon everyone was sleeping but me, I knew that I had screwed things up beyond repair between me and Amanda. I knew once she found out that she was going to walk out on me, leave everything in the dirt.

Once again I felt the tears coming, I got up and poured me a cup of orange juice and had a cold waffle. I looked at my watch and it was now 12:23. “Christ does anyone want to get up?” I asked out loud. I guess I was talking to loud because I woke up Britt by accident.

“Were you going?” she asked getting up. “Me,… nowhere I'm not going any where, I couldn’t sleep. But if you want I’d like to go down to the cabin again.” I said looking at Breanna’s ceiling, “Sure why not, what could happen?” she replied. Britt’s words just repeated in my head, what could happen, what could happen? But that was the question of the day to me, what could happen?

We told Breanna’s mom were we were going, and we left. I didn’t dare take Britt’s hand, only because it was me and her, but to my surprise, she was the one who toke a hand. Once again I was hoping down the street, but this time not singing song. More like yelling slurries from song, mainly greenday song, “The subliminal mind, FUCK America.”, “What ever happened to that bush dude?  It is as if he just got wiped off of the face of the earth.” I yelled. Before I knew it, Chuck was chasing after me and Britt. “So much for five months without trouble, your starting all over!” yelled chuck after me. I wanted to say, “Eat shit and die filthy pig.” But I didn’t I would of if it was only me, but I didn’t want to get Britt into anymore trouble than we already probably were.

Soon me and Britt were sitting on a bench being lectured by Chuck. When we was done he walked away and just mumbled to himself, “Piss ant.” I whispered, which made Britt crack up laughing. We got up and off of the bench and continued to walk toward the cabin. “That was fun.” I said looking at Britt. “Ya think?” she said, giving me a small punch in the arm. Out of now where I turned to face Britt and I gave her a hug. She returned the hug and we continued to go the way to the cabin.

“Home sweet home.” I said as I walked into my cabin, “What?” asked Britt, “I’m a gonna move in her, my home, no our home.” I said with a smile on my face. I sat down on one of the couches and just looked around the cabin to see what all needed to be fixed, still trying to keep my mind off of what I had did with Breanna.

Britt sat down next to me, “What’s on your mind?” she asked. “Oh, nothing.” I tried to lie. “My ass, Christian, I’ve known you for almost nine years, you can’t lie to me.” She said looking into my eyes. “I know I can’t lie to you, it’s just,… just…” I said trying to get away from Britt’s stares. She pulled out her cell phone and pushed a few buttons and showed me pictures that she had took of me and Breanna making out on the couch last night. I put my head in my hands and started to cry. She put her hand on my back, “Its okay, and I think Amanda will understand.” She tried to comfort me. “And I have also known you for nine years, you can’t lie to me either Britt.” I said now crying harder.

I looked at Britt with my tear filled eyes and just stared at her, “I can’t believe what I did.” I said. “Trust me, it is going to be okay, I won’t tell her right away.” She replied. “So that means that you’re making me tell her” I asked dumb struck. “Well I think we can let it go, but only this one time.” She told me.

I got up and walked around a little. I soon stopped crying and I sat back on the couch. “Thanks Britt.” I told her. “Just don’t do it again.” She scolded me, wagging her finger at me. It was 2:56, “Where are they?” I asked. About ten seconds later Breanna and Amanda popped in through the door, “Speak of the devil.” Britt replied as thy walked into the cabin
