Next morning, it was cloudy, the sun was covered but still it was a beautiful morning, I woke up before everyone else besides I didn't sleep the whole night in peace, I tossed and turned the whole night but still didn't get to a conclusion for what I want or what should I do next. The early morning fresh foggy mist humid the atmosphere, the cool breeze triggered the glee nourishing my senses it was the perfect amidst for me to spend time alone to rethink about the matter, just before everyone gets back to hike.
I decided not to go farther than the place our camps were settled, just a casual walk around the block. But the huge trees called the adventurous Jasmin like the sea calls Moana, I started to pace a little faster, as I breathed in the fresh air I walked along the spooky tree aisle while humming my songs.
Still going farther I heard leaves chirping as someone walks onto them, I turned around but no one was there, shaking my head to my conscience I just kept walking forward, and a deep ditch caught my eye, I wanted to see how it must looks like to sit over there and watch down at death, I slowly paced towards it to sit down and relax hanging my legs, I carefully placed my hands on ground and crawled towards the edge,
"No! Jasmin!!" when I was close enough I heard someone screaming my name, I quickly got up at once to look for the source of voice, I tried to look around standing at the edge and I spotted a silhouette close enough that I lost my balance at the edge and I leaned behind, my hair blocked the view of the person. All I could do that time was scream at the top of my lungs closing my eyes, but that person held me and kept me secured in his arms as we both fell down and we were rolling down like dice in the never ending ditch
when we hit the ground, I wasn't even able to sit down properly my head was spinning badly, I don't even know that whether I passed out or not. Sitting down I looked across the place and it was way more creepy, I looked around me and harry was laying down beside me, of course it was him
"We're lost" I almost panicked, but when I heard harry moaning laying down on the ground I crawled towards him
"harry" I barely touched his arm which he was holding and he looked into my eyes, but we both looked at each other as if we both equally blamed each other for the situation we ended up in
"what were you thinking Jas?" his eyebrows furrowed at me
"what do you mean?" dumbfounded, I asked
"you were trying to attempt suicide again?" he asked more like he told in his disappointed tone
"I wasn't, I was just trying to sit there and relax, but you were following me mister, and can I ask why" I asked in one breath angrily, still frowning my eyebrows at him I stood up and he stayed quiet for a few seconds I walked to and fro in front of him like an angry lioness just for the show
"what were you thinking?" I placed my hands on my hips and he was looking at me sheepishly that he misunderstood everything
"I thought you took last night so seriously and this is your reaction" he mumbled looking at his arm, which was injured. I totally ignored what he said but I looked at his scratched skin which was bleeding, I took out tissue paper from my jacket's pocket and placed on his scratch to soak in the little blood sitting beside him, and I constantly felt his eyes digging holes in me and to make my heart beat go wild inside my chest, it would have been wrong if I say he doesn't affect me at all, because he does, he makes me something I'm really not, I gulped down looking at him, his sweet scent, his eyes, the sound of him just breathing next to me, makes me want to be with him more, I just wanna have him, I quietly looked in his eyes for a couple of silent seconds my hands were still on the bare skin of his arm, I wanted not to make it obvious, but we both knew we shared that moment mutually. I moved back sitting next to him
"it wouldn't have happened if you weren't following me,.. We're lost in here harry" just to keep my guard on and pretend that he's not affecting me at the moment I said that and he gave me eye roll
"doesn't matter if we're lost,.. We're together" he smiled and I looked away at the father distance, I looked around sitting on the ground to observe the place, it didn't seem like someone actually camped in here before compare to the place where we were actually staying, but what could I observe more from that place that moment
The air was awkward, we were not even talking properly nor finding a way, we just kept sitting on the ground keeping a distance between us and I was constantly trying to avoid the conversation with him after what happened last night, besides he was constantly trying to talk and look at me.
"no network" harry said checking his phone, when I took out my phone from my pocket and placed it back sighing
"I guess we should find our way out of here harry" I said and he also stood up from ground now
"sure"
not really sure about the way, we walked together but there were trees and trees and trees everywhere, the huge bushes were scaring me, but I had support of Harry, besides I was feeling so low of me that I wasn't at ease to talk to him openly for the first time. Suddenly the clouds roared and as we were in forest the rain occurs in no time,
"oh no" I almost cried when clouds showered
"And cherry on top" Harry laughed and I sighed at the timing of his jokes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the other side
Alex: guys have anyone seen Jas this morning
Coming out of her camp she asked everyone worriedly who were just preparing some breakfast and were about to move forward
Niall: I was looking for her too
Liam: nor harry is here
Louis: guys! What the hell, where are they?
That time they realized that they both are missing
Zayn: don't worry, they must be patching up somewhere for about what happened last night
Perrie: but they almost fought last night, how can they be together?
Liam: they'll come back in a while
Louis: if they both are missing, I can assure you they're together, but I hope they're not in trouble
Danielle: I hope everything they're safe
Alex: God damn! Guys! I know they're in trouble, we should find them they must be near somewhere
Worried, half of them decided to find them, and half of them stayed there in case they come back.
Alex, James, Niall and Louis packed up their bags to look for Jasmin and Harry
Louis: Fuck! We should have just checked the weather forecast before all this crappy plan
Cursing the weather, they stayed under the huge tree and waited there for the rain to stop so that they can continue finding them both
Alex: I hope they're fine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Jas! We should sit here and wait for the rain to settle down so that we can find our way out" harry spotted a big stone and we both sat there, besides we were both getting soaked in rain we stayed there, harry took off his jacket and we placed it in the top of our heads just to keep ourselves from rain a little.
But the rain was pouring way too much, I was silently looking at the water which was flowing under our feet, the muddy water, along with the debris and dead branches. And I almost panicked when I spotted a snake in the water, although it was small but enough for a phobiac person to pass out, I wanted to not tell harry, but he saw it
"Jas! Is that a snake?" he pointed at the small gliding snake in the water and I was thinking about the other ways I can distract him but he wasn't up-to
"it's small, and not even venomous" I snorted, trying to brush it off but he held my hand and started to run
"how do you know that it's not venomous Jas, don't be silly" he yelled as he was panicking while running nowhere but on full potential
"don't run Harry, it glided the other way we'll lost our way If we keep running like this" I was constantly trying to loosen my hand from his grip but he was running like a crazy baboon, and his chest hit the horizontal tree log which came in our way, I made myself to run through under it before him, but harry couldn't see that
"careful harry, Watch out" I shouted but it was too late, Harry's chest just got hit by that giant log, he started huffing holding his chest with his both hands, his face turned red with so much pressure and he fell on his knees
"aahhh!"
I ran towards him, he was in so much pain
"jas! I ....can't ..b...breathe" he was taking long pauses in between talking and I my limbs got numb at once to see Harry like this
"Harry! You'll be fine" I rubbed his back trying to make him at ease, he was falling, I placed his head on my lap to give him support
"Harry! Try to breathe" my eyes were teary as I was trying to make him at ease by blowing air on his face, he got faint in my lap
"Harold!!! Open your eyes, harold" I was rubbing his hands and his forehead but he wasn't responding, I was numb and I was wishing it to be a dream
"if this is also a prank, I'm not gonna talk to you ever again" I cried placing my head on his chest to hear his heartbeat, it wasn't any better, it was beating way too low and my heart sunk into tears
"I'm sorry harry, please answer me, I'll never hurt you" I cried laying on top of him, helpless, in the nonstop rain
In that moment I realized I was nothing without him, I felt my whole world slipping away like sand from Palm
"I can't let this happen" I wiped my tears and took in deep breathe, I tilted his head backward, holding his face I pressed my lips against his to resuscitate the air, he wasn't responding he was totally numb. But I didn't lose any hope and faith in God and I did that again, and I saw his chest rising up and he coughed up blinking his eyes
"I love you" I mumbled, laughing with tears placing my forehead against his as I hugged his upper body with my embrace
"I love you too Jas" he mumbled in his raspy voice, and it was clear that he was having difficulty in speaking
"I'm sorry for not being able to answer you earlier" I cried nuzzling my nose into his neck and he rubbed my back gently
"Now I know I can't stand to lose you either Harry" I mumbled, I just stayed there holding him in my arms and he gently rubbed my back and said nothing. after few minutes even the light pouring rain was eventually stopped and we stayed under a huge tree, as he was still having difficulty in breathing. he relaxed himself under the tree by resting his eyes placing his head against the tree log. I stared at him as he dozed off, he was sleeping calmly making my world flip upside down in an hour only. A week ago I was just broken but happy, and now all of sudden I'm in love, I'm fixed and I'm genuinely happy
my stomach growled and I realized that we haven't had any breakfast yet, we were both hungry, I decided to search for something to eat around near the place where harry was sleeping. I looked for the fruit trees, and to our luck I found apple trees. I climbed the tree carefully and plucked some apples enough for our appetite and for my hands to carry. hugging the apples near my chest like baby I was going back to Harry, I smiled looking at him from a quiet distance, but I being Jas couldn't see the stone and twisted my ankle falling down along with the apples scattering all over the ground
"ouchh!!" I whimpered waking harry up from his peaceful nap and he ran towards me
"Jas?" he held me by my shoulders to make me sit down properly and he was looking at the apples dumbfounded
"we had no breakfast, so!!" I shrugged my shoulders smiling at him and he nodded his head in amusement smiling back at me, he picked all apples and turned back towards the same tree, but when I tried to get up on my feet, a sudden ache in my ankle couldn't helped and I fell down back at my hips, shrieking. he turned around and came back towards me in midway
"Jas?" he called my name and I sheepishly pointed towards my twisted ankle and he snorted while laughing, he placed apples in my lap and picked me up in his arms that a sudden squeal left my throat. holding apples with one hand in my lap I putted around the other hand around his neck and I stared at his face not ashamed.
"what are you looking at?" he smirked placing me on the ground under the tree, and I tugged my hair behind my ear, sheepishly.
"are you okay?" I placed my hand on his chest and mumbled he only smiled looking at my never leaving worried expression on my face, he cupped my face in his huge palms and placed a soft kiss on my forehead
"I'm always fine when you're with me" he said narrowing his eyes and I batted my eyelashes at the loss of words, he picked up an apple from my lap
"Harold! these aren't washed nor cleaned up" I said
"but it just rained" harry said while adjusting himself near me and I opened my mouth to say something in return but I was speechless in front of his nonsense logic
"do you have any handkerchief ?" I asked for it and he took out one from his pocket, I cleaned up the apples and gave them to him to eat and he was nodding his head in amusement as we ate those sweet apples
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on the other side
its been two hours since they're finding Jasmin and Harry, but they were panicking now as the rain was pouring heavily, they assumed that they both are in great trouble which they were for sure, when the rain stopped they continued finding them both
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
we stayed there under the tree, I was in his arms we were both trying to overcome the cold. for some reason we didn't want to search our way out, as we were together and if any of this thing wouldn't have happened we weren't be together like this
"what if it starts to pour again?" I mumbled looking at him lifting my head from his chest up he looked down at me and smiled
"what if more snakes comes out?" he said while raising his eyebrows at me
"everything's gonna be alright" I smiled and placed back my head on his chest
"don't you think we should find our way out?" harry said tugging my hair behind my ear
"but how will I walk?" I pointed towards my barefoot which was turning purple now
"it looks like potato" Harry goofily grinned and I myself laughed at my foot
"I can lift you up In my arms to find our way out of here" harry said
"you can't hike with so much weight" I rolled my eyes and he frowned
"you're funny" he said poking my cheeks, and I smiled at the thought that what ever happened between us since last night didn't affect our friendship which was the biggest fear I was holding in taking the decision
"we can shout from here, I'm sure they all must be finding us somewhere near" I said and he nodded in amusement
"okay!!! so what should we scream" Harry cleared his throat to say something but stopped
"wait!! HELPPP!! SOMEBODY!!WE ARE DOWN HERE, SOMEBODY HELPPP" clearing my throat I screamed at the top of my lungs and harry corked fingers in his ears and laughed staring at me wide eyed, amused, surprised.
"I never knew that you'd scream this loud" Harry said still laughing to himself
"I know right" I flipped my hair back playfully
"we should try this together" Harry said and we both shouted
"HELLPPP!! HELLPPPP!! SOMEBODY HELP USSS"
"WE ARE HUNGRYYY, GUYSSS!! HELPP USS" I added
"what was that??" Harry frowned while laughing
"I was calling Niall" I shrugged my shoulders and he laughed
"is that you Jasmin" we were both laughing that I heard Alex's voice from a far distance
"Alex!!" I screamed from where we were sitting on the ground, harry stood up becoming alert, yelling her name
"where are you guys we can't see you?" we heard Louis's voice growing towards us but we couldn't see him either, but the voice seemed to be coming from the height from where we were rolled down
"we're down here" I screamed from where I was still sitting on the ground with my potato foot
"wait there I see you harry" Alex shouted and harry stood there still and the leaves ruffled at a far distance at the edge of ditch above, and Alex came down rolling while she screamed and my eyes were widened to see her rolling down like this
"Alex" I screamed when she hit the ground and she sat there in shocked herself
"what Alex!! Now I know this is how you both get down here" she laughed standing up dusting off her clothes and she hugged harry in Joy and leapt towards me afterwards
"you assumed right thing, but this isn't how we're going out of here if you all keep rolling down here, can we?" I giggled and she looked at my foot
"what in the world!! You both are idiots" her eyes became teary
"Alexandera" we heard James shouting her name in panic
"they're all down here, we'll rescue them don't panic" Niall said, and we were all waiting there to get rescued by them
"Alex!! I am coming, don't worry" And in no time James rolled down here like hero and he hugged Alex picking up her in his arms as she slapped his arms in annoyance
"I'm fine, put me down boy" Alex mumbled in his grip and he kissed her cheeks forcefully squeezing her mouth and they started to fight, besides they came down there to rescue us
"you okay" Harry whispered holding me from my shoulders and I nodded looking into his eyes with smile totally ignoring their fight
"I assume everything is fine between you both" Alex said when they actually stopped fighting and looked at us both, I said nothing but blushed while nodding and she leapt towards us to hug us
"I'm so happy for you guys, I just can't tell you enough" Alex said hugging us and James also hugged us
Afterwards we were rescued by Niall and Louis, and we all went back to where our camps were settled.
