All Chapters of Paint me a heart: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

While the three of us were walking back to our camp, the hottest kiss I ever had was messing with my head, preventing me from thinking about anything else. Of course, Linda was right next to me to point me in the right direction.“Will your mother allow this?” Linda questioned.“I don’t really see other options and who is she to tell me what to do?” I said with bitterness, feeling the rebel in me finding an act of revenge for my mother’s intrusion on our camping. “And I am not saying I will do it. I am only considering it. Let’s hope they solve this while we are away.”“Don’t worry, Alice. Josh is a heavy sleeper and I can keep you warm,” Thomas joked, walking behind me. I turned to shove him in the arm with my elbow, causing both of us to almost drop the wood we carried.“Oh, stop it, you lovebirds!” Linda teased and we laughed.When we reached the clearing, all tents were placed far from each other and a big lantern, powered by batteries, was hung on the walnut tree away from everyth

Shifting my attention from Thomas’s intense glare to my phone call, I remembered the never-fading grin of the gallery boy.“Um, yeah. A few days have passed since we met.” I finally spoke, knowing it was about two weeks already.“I want to see you. Where are you?” He asked, and I raised an eyebrow looking at the surrounding trees.“You can’t,” I responded.“Of course I can. Tell me the address,” he pushed, being his usual self.“No, I mean, I am in a forest. Camping with friends.”“And you didn’t invite me? That’s too bad. I am great at those things.” His cheery voice came through my phone.“Well, it wasn’t me who sent the invitations,” I excused myself, knowing Tina did that.“Yeah, we can do that another time. Maybe only two of us. Anyway, when are you coming back?” He said cockily, and I rolled my eyes.“Sometime tomorrow.” I calculated, strolling on the dirt road.“Okay, can I trust you to call me then, or I should do it again?”“Of course you can’t trust me. I don’t know you and y

We went back to our camp. Thomas asked Josh to join him in this small quest in the dark forest. The group soon found out about my second bad situation today, and suddenly I preferred to go back to the forest to pet the wild animal, instead of staying here a moment longer to chat about my misfortune.The famous boy went to get ‘his stuff’ from the trunk of his car and when he came back, I was amazed to find that he had a gun. Most of us were stunned at the sight, but Annabeth and I felt like we should speak. She went to Thomas with a serious expression and demanded how he got this cold weapon in his possessions.“Where did you get that, Thomas? Who gave it to you?” she questioned.“What the hell!” I exclaimed at the same time when she spoke.

I could not see who hit Thomas and when he realized someone punched him, he jumped on that person, disappearing behind the stage. “Oh, God! Thomas!” I yelled, rising from my chair, but my scream was lost in the loud music. Samuel must have seen my reaction because a moment later he was next to me with wondering eyes, asking me what caused me to yell. I did not answer and finally, my legs started moving towards Thomas. I went behind the stage and it took me a while to adjust my eyes and see them, dressed all in black in the darkness. In the dim light, I saw two boys struggling on the floor, and I recognized Thomas’s blond hair--he was on top. The other guy was a stranger to me. He had tar, short hair and his bushy eyebrows almost looked like an unibrow. His face showe

As soon as Samuel disappeared inside The Bomb, I knew I shouldn’t go in the rose garden right now. I turned on my heels and went to lean on his rusty car, ignoring Thomas. He, of course, followed me and stopped less than a meter from me. He was just watching me with a perfect, but now unreadable face. I bit the inside of my cheek and raised my eyebrow at him, showing I had no idea what he was doing. “Are you going to say something, or you will just stand there, enjoying the view?” I challenged him with a smirk. “Oh, I could tell you so many things right now. Half of them the opposite of the other half,” he responded, nervously. I smiled at his answer, thinking maybe he had mixed fe
