Chapter 4

I woke up to find myself in a strange room, i was wearing a blue shirt and not the clothes I was

wearing yesterday, I don't even know where I was, I stood up from the bed but I felt discomfort,

so I sat back down to compose myself before I finally got up feeling a little better. I think what

actually woke me up was the smell of food, the growling of my stomach agreed to that fact, so I

made my way out of the room.

As I got out, I saw a small family gathered around a table having breakfast, I felt a little jealousy

but I pushed it down rather quickly, it not like it their fault I had never had breakfast like this,

such peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by people who loved and respected me.

I had to announce my presence, so clearing my throat, I spoke " I don't mean to intrude, but

please where am I?" all eyes seemed to turn to me at the sound of my voice, I had been on the

spot light many times, but this felt different, It was like this time there was no escape for me.

A young girl spoke to me first, telling me how I wasn't in heaven and they don't bite, very funny

how that sounds, a woman, who I assume must be her mother also spoke to me, she told me I

wasn't intruding, that I should come join them for breakfast, I was a little reluctant, but I didn't

want to be disrespectful so I moved towards the chair she asked me to sit, the chair was on her

right hand, I got there and sat down, saying a good morning and thank you, as I sat down, I

looked in front of me to find an attractive looking man sitting just opposite me, I looked away

from him to take a better look at the girl from earlier who looked to be around twelve sitting

beside him, I gave her a small smile, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but when I finally

realized that they were not going to eat me, I finally relaxed.

After breakfast, we got to talking and I found out they were just having a family camp and I felt

like an intruder, I also found out that the trap I fell into was the idea of both her children, they

both apologized to me which I couldn't say no to, especially with the cute Pout Charlotte had on

her face, I knew falling into that trap would have resulted to something far more worst, but

sometimes in live you don't look at what would have happened that didn't, be lucky for the now

and leave the past.

The fact that he would do anything for his sister was cute though, even if he thought it was silly,

he still went ahead to do it for her, just to make her happy. It was quiet adorable if you ask

me.....I told them my car was left somewhere beside the road as I lost my way when walking into

the woods, Jason promise to go help me look for it. He found my keys just near where I was

trapped. I told him I was going to go with him, he wouldn't have it, he said he wasn't let me move

a finger until he was sure I was okay, even after telling him a thousand times that I was okay.

They asked me to join them in their camping as they were only leaving the next day, I didn't

want to intrude I told them again, but Mrs Black wasn't having it, she assured me that as long as

I didn't have any work, I didn't need to worry and I should just join them to enjoy myself,

reminding me again how short life could be, I couldn't agree less.

The moment I said yes, Charlotte practically dragged me to show me the surprise she had been

bugging me of whole day, I looked back at Mrs. Black with a question in my eyes, but she only

shrugged at me, which indicated she knew something, not thinking much of, I followed

Charlotte. I was so lost in thought that I didn't know when we stopped, when I looked up, I was

shocked at where I was, it was beautiful, I haven't seen anything like this before, the lake was

beautiful.

I watched as Charlotte ran into the lake, I followed closely behind her and before you know it,

we were both deep into the water, as we both laugh in happiness, soon we started a water fight,

Charlotte was the first to start it, she threw water at me, and before you know it, we were both

throwing water at each other, I don't think I've laughed this much in my life.

Charlotte decided that we checked who could stay under the water more, so at the count of

three we both got under the water, I was the first to come up panting as Charlotte followed after

me, she erupted into a fit of laughter and I just glared at her, I had a strong feeling she cheated,

I could bet on it.

We swam for a little more before we were interrupted. I turned to look at who interrupted us,

Jason was standing there with what looked like a plate with snacks and a small jug with orange

juice in it, I gave him a smile as he moved towards us, I don't know why, but seeing him gives

me feeling in my stomach, his eyes, they are beautiful, I want them on me always, I don't even

know why I was saying that, but it sounded like I really wanted it, when those eyes are on me, I

feel like a school girl who finally had her crush eyes on her, how silly.

"Are those snacks for me or a particular someone?" Charlotte asked raising her brows at her

brother, these two are so cute, I really don't know what siblings relationship is like because I

happen to be the only child. "What are you at again Charlotte?" Jason asked his sister as she

went out of the water to take the snack from him, I too got out of the water, but soon realized my

mistake, as the shirt I was wearing had now become see through because of the water, but it

was too late as Jason had his mouth open and eyes on me, he suddenly realized what was

happening and immediately turned away from me showing me his back...I think at that moment I

turned red, that was so awkward.

Jason mumbled words I didn't even care to hear as I was too embarrassed before he walked

away. I turned to look at Charlotte who was trying so hard not to laugh but was unsuccessful as

she e burst into a fit of laughter, I glared at her showing her it wasn't funny to laugh at my

embarrassment.

Apart from the awkward encounter at the lake, the rest of the day went well, Mr Black was one

funny man, I didn't know people you just met could make you this happy, this people were pure

souls......The next day went away in a blur and before I knew it, it was evening as we were all

planning our return back to our normal lives, maybe their normal lives, but definitely not mine,

my life was far from normal.

Jason found my car and packed it somewhere near the cabin, we all said our goodbyes and

promise to keep in touch as Mrs Black threatened me of all her sweet biscuits am going to miss

If I don't visit her. There's no way someone could possibly say know to her. With that being said,

I said good bye to them before making my way back to my car and driving off, I looked at my

side mirror as Charlotte kept throwing kisses at me, I've never felt such happiness like this short

time I spent with them. I know am not driving into anything close to happiness, I know there's a

certain someone waiting for me to go beg her, maybe in her dreams.

The short time I spent in this woods had me thinking who I truly was, it made me realize that all

my life, I've just lived someone else's scripted life for me. Now it's time I live for me
