"You're so fucking stupid!!" Lock snaps at me.
"I'm trying okay?" i shake.
"Not hard enough! Fuck might as well let the people you rail in for us take you!" he growls.
That hurt...
"Meaning?" i stupidly ask.
"Meaning, when you start being our bait and if you get beaten up, i'm. not. saving. you" he says word for word.
"Lock!" i shout
"I'm fucking done with you playing around" Lock hits my shoulder with his as he passes by.
"URGH!" i shout.
"Asshole eh?" Brandon leans against the wall.
"More than an asshole" i growl.
"You've now met the famous silent treatment by Lock Archer" Justin pats my shoulder.
"He doesn't talk to the person that pissed him off for daysss" Colin says.
"I'm cool with not hearing him" i roll my eyes.
"Are you?" Aaron raises an eyebrow.
"Cool as a cucumber" i raise my eyebrows.
"Because i don't think either of you are" Brandon smirks.
"What?" i ask in confusion.
"we've seen the way you two look at each other. It's obvious feelings are there. And it's obvious Lock won't be able to cope without you for a day" Colin says.
"Whatcha got to say about that?" Justin smirks and looks at me.

ELENAS POV
We make it to the campsite and woohoo... Lock is already here. Anyways, Colin is super fast, but way slower than Lock... if that makes sense.
"Thanks for the ride!" i smile and hop off his motorcycle.
"No problem El" he drives off with Aaron.
"Lock" i run up to his side, but he ignores me. "Please talk to me!" i beg.
"Leave me be" Lock goes in the camper and slams the door.
"Wow..." i place my helmet down and all the sudden i'm pulled into a hug.
"We're sorry El" Brandon and Justin say.
"I love you guys" i hug them back.
"We love you too" Brandon pulls back and smiles.
"He'll get over it. He loves you way too much to not talk to you for an hour" Justin pulls back.
"Why does he hate him so much?" i ask.
"That's a question you need to ask him" Brandon says with a sympathetic tone.
"Oh okay" i sigh.
"Wanna go on a ride?" Justin asks.
"No thanks, i'm gonna chill of here for a bit" i smile and sit down on a chair.
"Ok, well, we'll be back later" Brandon says and I nod as they walk off.
I take out my phone and scroll through social media. I hate seeing Lock so mad... it hurts even more when I'm the one he's mad at. All the sudden the camper door opens and Maximus runs up to me... only Maximus.
"Hey buddy!" I put my phone in my pocket and pet him "Let's go on a walk"
I walk him nearby without a leash. I don't know this land at all so it'll be a bad idea to walk off somewhere I don't know.
"El!" Colin and Aaron drive past me. I turn to them and wave then they get off their four wheelers and run to me.
"Whatcha doing?" Aaron sings.
"Attempting to walk Maximus" I laugh.
"Oh shit yea you don't know around here. We can walk with you" Colin says and Aaron nods.
"Yea, where's Justin and Brandon?" Aaron asks.
"Went to go ride" I say as I walk beside them.
"Okay, I'll text Lock that we're walking" Colin pulls out his phone and texts. Then my phone start ringing and I answer seeing that it's Lock.
"Hello?" I say low.
"Hey... listen I'm sorry, can you please come back and we can go somewhere... just me and you so we can talk?" he say with remorse in his voice.
"Of course, I didn't get far so I'll be there in a minute" I smile even though he can't see.
"Okay" he says before hanging up.
"Need to head back?" Aaron asks.
"Yes, could you please watch Max?" I say as I run off.
I make to it to campsite and see Lock on his phone waiting.
"I'm here!" I run up.
"Ready?" he asks
"Yea" I smile.
"Car or motorcycle?" he says pulling out his keys.
"Motorcycle" I smirk and so does he.
We speed to this adorable cafe up the street and take the seats by the window.
"Listen..." Lock takes my hand and I look at him "I'm really sorry I put my anger on you. I was just mad you didn't listen to when I said don't talk to that douche. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the fact he's talking to you" he tightens his grip on my hand.
"It's okay, I understand" I smile and rub my thumb in circles on the back of his hand.
"Thank fuck" he says and passionately kisses me.
"So we're good?" i ask.
"Yea" he says.
"Well, while we're here i wanna get a slice of chocolate cake" i excitedly get up and run to the menu.
We drive back to the campsite and see everyone on the deck sitting down.
"What are you assholes doing" Lock goes on the deck and i follow.
"About to go to sleep" Aaron yawns.
"Me too" Justin and Colin stand up.
"Me three" Brandon stands up.
"Yea I'm getting tired" I look at Lock.
"Who do you wanna sleep with El?" Brandon smirks and looks at Lock.
"Funny" Lock says with an bit of anger on his face.
"Goodnight guys! Come on Max" I say as I walk into the camper with Max and Lock following.
"I call window" Lock jumps on the bed.
"You basically took up both sides" i say as i lay down.
"How so?" he smirks.
"Because you're so giant" i pull the blanket over me.
"In every way" he wraps his arms around me and nuzzles his face on my shoulder.
"Nasty" i roll my eyes and chuckle.
flashback
"Ok i can do this" i say to myself.
Then all the sudden a huge pair of arms are wrapped around me and warm breath is on my cheek. I shiver and feel very uneasy.
"Do i make you nervous?" I hear Locks sexy voice as he runs his hand down my side, sending me shivers.
"W-what're you doing?" i gulp.
"Yes or no?" his warm minty breath spreads across the side of my face.
"Yes... p-please let me concentrate" i don't move a muscle.
"Am i a distraction?" he nibbles on my cheek.
"Y-y-yes" i shiver.
"Good" he whispers than walks off.
What the fuck?
end of flashback
Because this camper is so fucking freezing, Lock's sleeping in his black shirt and red hoodie and i'm sleeping in a oversized comfy sweatshirt.
"What're the plans tomorrow?" i turn so that i'm facing him.
"Going in the mud then fireworks at night" he looks at me.
"fireworks?" i question.
"Mhm" he hums.
"Okay... odd since it's six months till the fourth of July" i laugh.
"Eh" he kisses my forehead
"Hey, have you ever went to prom?" i ask.
"Nah, one, i was in jail. two, i don't do that shit" he raises his eyebrow.
"Oh okay... sorry" i should've known it was he jail at that time... stupid ass me.
"Did you?" his green eyes meet mine.
"No. I stayed home" i shrug.
"What?!" he sits up.
"Yea... prom wasn't my thing either" i smile.
"Shit, prom is every girls dream" he says confused.
"Eh" i shrug once again.
Honestly going to prom pained me too much. My mom always so badly planned to style my hair and shop for it... but she never got to...
"Its fucking cold in here" Lock puts the covers over us.
"Aww cold hearted killer afraid of freezing to death?" i tease.
"Fuck you okay" he chuckles.
"I love you" i laugh then kiss his warm lips.
I go to pull back, but he holds the kiss and i let in. He cuffs my right cheek and puts his other hand on my waist. I go on top of him and it turns into a make out session.
All the sudden Lock is now on top of me still cuffing my cheek and holding onto my waist. His hand from my cheek starts to run down my side and he starts to kiss my neck which i'm pretty sure now has a hickey.
I'd be lying if i said i didn't want him right now.
He trials kisses from my neck to my lips. I tease him and don't give him entrance. I guess he got frustrated at that because he moved his lips to my neck once again then back to my lips hoping for a new answer.
I chuckle and give in to him. His hand travels up my shirt and i run my fingers through his hair as i wrap my other arm around him.
All the sudden a knock comes from the camper door causing us to stop. Clearly it pissed Lock off because he huffed in anger then got off me to sit up next to me.
The door slowly opens and Zach walks in.
"Oh shit sorry was i interrupting something" he says awkwardly.
"No you weren't" i sit up and Lock scrunches his nose up in anger and groans so i pinch his arm.
"Ow" he rubs his arm and i stand up to talk to Zach.
"What're you doing here at twelve o'clock?" i say irritated.
"I uh... here's your headphones" he awkwardly gives me the headphones i gave him to hold earlier.
"Fuck that couldn't wait till the morning?" Lock stands behind me and groans.
"Well i wasn't-" Zach gets cut off.
"Leave" Lock growls and slams the door in his face then sits back down on the bed.
"Lock" i sit down next to him and hit his chest.
"What?!" he pulls back.
"Why do you hate him so much?" i say agitated.
"There's not days in the world to explain" Lock turns his head away from me.
"Shorten it?" i put my hand on his shoulder and he tenses.
"I... okay" he sighs and i smile to assure him i'll listen. "My mom hired him because he was a stupid kid that needed to get away from his habits. Eventually they got close and my mom loved him like she did me and Luke. He was practically her son. Zach was okay... but when my mom died... it was the end of him. He got into drugs and shit. He uh..." Lock pauses.
"So was he apart of you 'friend group' with the boys?" i ask trying to ease his uneasiness.
"Fuck no, i didn't see him like that. My mom and him were basically each other's best friends" Lock clenches his jaw.
"I'm here" i smile and kiss his cheek.
He takes a deep breathe before saying words i couldn't believe i was hearing... "He was lost without my mom... because she was there for him when everyone seen him as a troublemaker. He got into bad shit when my mom died Butterfly... he ..." he sighs "he raped girls and abused them" he turns his head to me finally.
I was in complete shock i don't say anything... just look at him with wide eyes.
"W-why don't you fire him?" i stutter.
"Oh Butterfly trust me i've been trying to for awhile... the thought of my mom being disappointed in me creeps in my head. Her being so upset i that 'gave up on him'" he rolls his eyes are he last sentence.
"I'm so sorry" i put my head on his chest and he lays down while keeping me on him.
"I want you to stay away from him" he says in a serious tone and i fall asleep.
