Sylvia's P. O. V As Alex sang, my eyes frantically search the crowd looking for one person whose reaction I fear the most. I eventually found him and he was already staring at me, with Skyler by his side while couldn't stop smirking. His demeanor was calm but his eyes were burning and I gulped nervously. Terrified by it, I made to leave but Olivia held me in place. She must've seen how uneasy I was. " You're not going to leave, are you?" She asked and I stared at her, unable to do anything. " Why don't you enjoy it while it lasts? You can worry about your boyfriend's reaction later. " She said and I forced myself to breathe, trying to calm my quivering nerves. I glanced at Tyler who shrugged. "I told you unexpected things happen." He muttered and I groaned, facepalming myself. No... This can't be happening.... The bonfire night finally came to an end and everyone was in their cabins. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as I thought of th
Patrick's P. O. V The game began and we started picking out golden eggs in the designated place we were told to search for it. I had barely said anything to anyone, too hurt and angry to speak. The things Skyler said wouldn't stop replaying in my head. " Patrick... Patrick!..." A voice filtered through my thoughts forcing me out of my reverie. I looked back and saw it was Skyler running towards me, her basket with some golden eggs while mine was empty. Knowing it was her, I scoffed and continued forward. " Patrick... Wait!" She called again, running and stopping in front of me. " What? " I mumbled. " Okay... I'm sorry. I understand if you're mad at me but I really didn't mean to break it out to you like that. I thought you knew. " " Well you did. And thanks for letting me know. You just added salt to my wounds. " I said and continued walking but she pushed me back, her hands on my chest. " Patrick, listen. I'm just looking out for you. And I'm sorry
Olivia's P. O. V " Why don't you trust him?" I asked and he shrugged, still staring at Martin. " I don't know... I just don't. Watch yourself around him, okay?" He said and I nodded, smiling in reassurance. " Okay." I replied " I'm leaving now. But I'll be right back, I need to go find Alex. " He said, jogging out of the place. I watched him leave and heaved a sigh, walking back to my cabin.... Patrick's P. O. V " What do you think you're doing?" I ask Alex, who's walking away. I had followed after him. He turns back and stops, his demeanor calm. It only angers me the more. " Nothing." " Really?" " Yes. Nothing." He replied, and I walked towards him, my chest heaving in anger. " What about you?" He counters. " What have you been doing? Other than hang out with Skyler." " It's not my fault I got paired with her." I muttered through gritted teeth. " It's also not my fault that I got paired with Sylvia, too. But it hap
Skyler's P. O. V. I stare at the sleeping Patrick, tears slipping out of my eyes. Cleaning them off with a free hand, I can't help but wonder, what did I do? What kind of a friend am I? I just succeeded in ruining everything. I'm sure if Patrick wakes up now and finds out what happened, he'll hate me forever. " Patrick..." I mumbled, even though he can't hear me. " I'm sorry."... Sylvia's P. O. V Too frozen to move or do anything, I let Alex kiss me. Even if I'm not returning his kisses. Even if I'm just standing there like a statue. His kisses were soft and reassuring, but needy as well. Like he had wanted to do this for such a long time. The problem is, why now? He eventually drags himself away from my lips and lays his head on my shoulders, breathing in. My eyes glazed with tears, i finally get my voice. " That. Wasn't supposed to happen." I mumble, half expecting him to flare up. He just snuggles closer to me, breathing in. " No it
Sylvia's P. O. V I woke up with a start, staring around the cabin. Sitting up, I facepalmed myself and noticed they were sticky with tears. I was crying yesterday, why? Then it all came back to me. Patrick and I argument, Alex kisses and everything in between. My heart felt like it had been squeezed and I almost started crying again. No Sylvia, today is an new day. You can't keep crying, it doesn't solve anything. I looked around the cabin and noticed Skyler's bed was empty, maybe she was out for her morning run. I sighed softly, too tired and weak to start today. The other girls soon began waking up and when they saw me sitted on the bed, greeted me. " Going out today?" Aubrey asked. " No. Can't walk." I replied and gave her a stiff smile. " Okay... We'll see you later then." She replied and I nodded. Then proceeded to the bathroom while I picked up my phone and began checking my social media feed, trying to keep myself busy.... Patrick's
Sylvia's P. O. V I saw Tyler and Olivia approach me but instead of looking downcast, they had dreamy smiles on their faces and they were holding hands. What's going on? They finally got to me and I gave them questioning gazes. " What happened? " I asked, my gaze shifting from Olivia to Tyler. " Well... It's good news." She breathed out, stifling a giggle. " What is it?" I asked, eagerness evident in my voice. " Let's just say... I can now see Tyler that way." She replied and clung onto Tyler who welcomed. I gasped. " No way! Oh my God... I'm so happy for you!" " Thank you. I can't believe that all I've been looking for was right there in front of me and I couldn't see it." " Well... Now you do." I replied and we chuckled. " I'm really happy for you guys. So,when is it going to become official?" I asked and Olivia furrowed her brows in worry. " It's not really over though. There's still my parents to think about. " " It isn't
( Final day of camp) Sylvia's P. O. V Finally the camp came to an end. During the last few days everyone could be seen packing their bags and saying their last goodbyes. The last bonfire night that was held was actually the best has everyone put up a great show as this would be the last time they would ever see this much people again. Even though I was in a sour mood throughout the last few days, I couldn't help but smile out tears at the fun I had as well. Today was the last day so mostly what everyone was doing was packing up and getting ready to go home. Fortunately for Olivia and Tyler, this camp had a happy ending for them. Tyler finally asked Olivia to be his girlfriend at the last bonfire night and she heartily agreed. But me? I'm not so sure. As usual, I spent the last few days avoiding Alex and Patrick. Skyler on the other hand didn't wait till the end of camp before leaving. After that night that I had spoken to her, we had woken up to see an empty bed. A
(Next day) After dressing up for school, I came downstairs and met my mom in the kitchen, making breakfast. After a quick greeting and a kiss on the cheeks, I settled down for some oats and milk. She came to join me later. Glancing at her as I ate, I made to ask the question that had been bugging me for some time now. " Mom... Are you okay? You don't look so well." I said and she smiled, not meeting my gaze. " Yeah. I'm fine, just a little sick." She replied and I shrugged. " You sure? You've gotten a lot thinner." I said and she flinched a little. Smiling again, she held my hands. " I said am fine. Stop worrying about me. Now eat your food and go to school or you'll be late." I smiled, glad to know my mom wasn't as sick as I thought. Finishing up my meal, I bade my mom goodbye before heading to school. I arrived soon after and of course, the entire compound was bustling with students. Carefully making my way around them, I found my way to my
Sylvia's P. O. V Three months later, Skyler gave birth to a baby girl who they named Piper. Since I was quite heavy at that time, I was unable to visit them but Patrick video called us to tell us about the experience. Even though he looked quite exhausted, his voice was rich in happiness. I chuckled remembering the things Skyler told us about Patrick while she was in labor. " He screamed more than me in the labor room. The doctor's started looking at us weird at one point!" I recalled, chuckling. " Well, what can I say? We're one weird couple." Patrick said in defense. Skyler chuckled, pulling his cheeks. " How many months left Sylvia?" Skyler asked after we were done laughing. " Three to four months? I'm not so sure. I'm ready whenever he's ready." " You nervous?" She asked and I breathed in, nodding slowly. " Don't worry, you'll be fine." She said and I smiled in gratitude. " Well... We have to go now. Skyler needs to rest, sh
Skyler's P. O. V. After the proposal, Patrick and I got married. Sylvia and Alex attended and I was surprised by it since we didn't as attend theirs. Due to my condition, it wasn't a large party but it still managed to be wild. We also didn't travel for our honeymoon, we did it right there at new Jersey. Sylvia used the opportunity to tour New Jersey one more time before heading back to Oklahoma. All in all, it was a lovely experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. ... (A few months later) Alex's P. O. V Skyler is seven months gone now and Patrick had suggested we meet up so we could spend some time together before the baby comes and he begins to take his role as a dad seriously. Tyler was there too and it was quite and experience. " First things first, before we go into any serious conversation. May I ask why we're ordering fruit wine?" I asked, glancing at the two of them. Tyler was the first to speak up." I'm not sur
(Three months later) Sylvia's P. O. V The past few months as a married couple have been amazing! Alex and I have established a routine that suits us. Him making breakfast in the morning while I make dinner and then, we do the dishes. It's been amazing so far and I've been really enjoying it. Laying in bed after some passionate moments together, My hands drawing invisible lines on his body while he pulls me closer to himself, I felt content. Feeling a bit bored, I stroke up a conversation. " Alex, How do you feel about having a baby?" I asked and I felt him stiffen. He cleared his throat, readjusting himself. " A child would be lovely but I don't think I want that now." He replied. I raised my face up, staring at him. " Why?" I asked softly. He heaved a sigh. " Well, I-i still have a ton of things I want to put in place before that comes up." " What if I pregnant?" " Are you pregnant?" He asked instead, his voice slightly alarmed.
Skyler's P. O. V I stirred in my sleep, my eyelids fluttering. Moments later, I opened my eyes, staring at the room. This is Patrick's room, my subconscious muttered. Speaking of Patrick, I looked up and saw he was still sleeping. A smile crept up to my cheeks as I stared at him. He looked completely brazen, his hair completely tousled as a result of last night action. Remembering last night, I blushed, chuckling. Who knew that would happen? Snuggling deeper into his arms, I willed myself that enjoy the moment before he woke up. Almost as instantly, his hands wrapped around my waist, drawing me closer to himself. I laughed when I saw the grin on his face. He was already awake! I raised myself up, kissing him lightly on the lips. " Good morning..." I whispered against them. One eyelid fluttered open as he stared at me. " Good morning...". He groaned before deepening it. We pulled apart a we could catch our breaths. " How was your night?" He asked, ca
Skyler's P. O. V " What?" I found myself saying. " Another baby. Let's make another one." He repeated. My eyes slowly widened, my cheeks heating up as I understood what he meant. But I was still confused. " Patrick, are you...?" " No I'm not. I'm perfectly sane, I just really wanted us to make another one." He repeated, his eyes boring into mine. I took a step backwards, slightly shocked. Is Patrick being serious right now? Does he really want to... Oh forget it! " If you want another baby, why are you still standing there?" I asked. It took only a second for him to process my words before his lips came crashing down on mine, his hands wrapped tightly around me. I almost fell due to the impact of the kiss but Patrick quickly steadied me. Hands wrapped around each other, body pressed tightly against each other, it was a frenzy. He lifted me up and I immediately wrapped my legs around his waist, all the whike not breaking the kiss. His hands pulled the ni
Patrick's P. O. V I hurried out of the bar the moment Sylvia finished talking. Getting into my car, I started it up and began driving to Skyler's place. Arriving there moments later, I skipped all the way to the door, desperate to see her. One push at the door knob and I froze. It's locked. Skyler wasn't in. She's gone. Again. Groaning out loud, I ran a hand through my hair. Come on... This can be happening! How long as she be gone for? Where did she even go? I brought out my phone to call her but of course, it didn't go through. " Think, think, think Patrick..." I muttered, pacing around at the hallway. Is there anyone she must've told. " Okay... Her job as my financial advisor was temporary and Darren told me she was introduced by his financial advisor... Evelyn!" I gasped out, snapping my fingers. Scrolling through my contacts, I looked for and found her contacts. Pacing around at the hallway, I impatiently waited for Evelyn to pick up. " Hello..
(Days later) Patrick's P. O. V These past few days have been hard. I sighed, thinking about the day Skyler and I argued. I tried talking to Skyler but she won't let me see her, won't answer my calls and also not reply my texts. It's confusing and frustrating. Eventually I just gave up on it. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. Picking up my phone, I got ready to go out. I need to get out of here. Sitting down and mopping around won't do any good.... Skyler's P. O. V Packing my things, I angrily dumped them in my boxes, muttering words to myself as I did it. " I can't keep a friendship, I can't keep a relationship... I can't even keep a baby! " I yelled the last bit out, slamming the box shut. Falling to the bed, I groaned out, trying to stop the tears from falling. These past few days have been freaking hard. Patrick called thousands of times, left texts but I was too scared to answer. I didn't know what to say to him. Eventually he just
Patrick's P. O. V. We stayed a few more days at the hospital due to the doctor's suggestions. They needed to watch Skyler's health to see if it's recovering from the miscarriage and remove any left over blood tissue that didn't bleed out. Hours before Skyler was discharged, Sylvia called. " Hey...." She called out, her voice light and happy. I sucked in air. " Hi..." I muttered, breathing out. " How are you? How's Skyler?" " I'm fine, she's fine. We're both fine. " I said, a bit wary. " What about the baby?" She asked and I stiffened, my grip on the phone tightening. I wanted to lie but decided not to, it wouldn't make any sense. " You didn't answer that question." Sylvia said, her voice low and edged with concern. " Is everything okay?" " No. Something happened." I finally muttered, glancing at Skyler's ward. " What happened?" " Skyler had a miscarriage. She lost the baby. " " What!? " " Yeah. Two d
(Three weeks later) Sylvia's P. O. V The wedding was a success. Just like Patrick had said, they didn't come to the wedding but Tyler and Olivia did. They even brought little Jeremy with them! For a young couple, they looked really happy. I was happy and also jealous of them. We said our vows in front of the church and exchanged rings. We even had a little party. It was fun but Alex kept it short. Then announced that we'll be going to Manchester for our honeymoon. " But... That's where you studied!?" I asked the moment he told me. " Yes. And it's why I want to take you there. It's really lovely there." " Okay... Can't wait. " I muttered, grinning. He smiled and kissed me on the cheeks. I blushed slightly. The very next day, we flew out of Oklahoma to Manchester. Settling in, he became my tour guide, showing me places he had visited while studying there. There were so many places to see! And had our first night as a married couple in a reso
