FRIDAY. 10:00 PM.
My heart begins to tug the more I move away from the forest and towards the nurse's tent. What's happening to me? Tears begin to fill my eyes and I can't figure out why. I try as much to hide my teary face from other campers around.
I turn back to stare at the calm forest.
"Darn it."
15 MINUTES LATER…
I find myself moving back to Jake in the forest. I couldn't quite find my way back to him, and I almost got lost but now I'm standing right behind him. I don't think he has noticed me yet but I see him sit on a fallen tree with his hands joined together forcefully. I can see veins shooting from his hands, like he's trying to tire himself out on purpose.
Then I notice something else, his body's shivering and my eyes go wide. Of course, the forest is a lot colder than camp ground and he must be really cold since he has a reaction to cold. But why wouldn't he just leave and go back?
