You wake up to the sound of thunder. You open your eyes and see the tent walls, remembering that you are camping. The rest of your family, Mom, Dad, and sister, are still sleeping, so you decide that you are going to go get some fresh air and take a walk. You quietly unzip your sleeping bag and go outside. It smells like rain and the sound of thunder is soothing. As you walk, you decide you are going to go sit down for a while and enjoy the wilderness that surrounds you. You lay against a nice tree and think about your year. You are about to turn 16 and you still haven't had a boyfriend, let alone even talked to a boy in your life ever. You sit there, thinking about how your friends always called boys overrated, and how you don't need a man to find true happiness, but you always wanted one. As you think, sleepiness overcomes you and you drift off...
...but then you wake up to rain soaking you from your head to your toes. You don't even know where you are, and forgot what direction the campsite was, let alone you can barely see through this storm. You get up and try to find some place to keep dry. As you walk, you here something. Something walking. Someone walking. It sounds like a person. As you turn around, terrified, you see a boy about your age walking. He doesn't seem to notice you, but he sure does seem to know where he is going.
"Hey, over here!" you tell over to him. Startled, he turns quickly with an expression and fear that soon turns to relief.
"Hi, I wasn't expecting to see anyone out here," the boy says,
"Where are you going? I'm lost and I'm really cold," you say to him. It's dark, so you can't see his face very well. If you had to guess, you'd say he was about 5' 11".
"I'm lost too. When it started raining, I lost sence of direction. I do know that there is a cave over here, though. You are welcome to join me," he says with a smile.
"Okay," you say. "What is your name?"
"My name is Charlie. How about you?"
" My name is (y/n). Nice to meet you!" He signals for you to follow, so you do so. You replay his voice in your head, over and over again. It sounds so angelic and pure. You reach the cave and head inside with him...
