"Alex! run!" Taylor yelled frantically as she began running in circles flapping her arms around.
Déjà vu?
Yeah, I'm getting that feeling too.
"Come on!" I grabbed her arm and we tore through the woods, branches slapping us in the face and twigs and leaves nipping at our feet.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" She shrieked and suddenly zoomed past me, leaving me behind.
I came to a stop and lowered my paintball gun.
"Taylor! Get your ass back here!" I yelled, stomping my foot. Childish I know.
Yes, we are playing paintball. Hunger Games style, everyone looks out for themselves, and the last one standing is the winner. The plan was that Taylor and I would take out everyone else, then go one on one, but as you can see, the minute she saw Will raise his gun in our direction, she totally bolted.
Leaving me behind.
I heard a twig snap and I whirled around, raised my gun and shot two times in the same direction.
"Aw hell!" I heard and grinned when I saw Aiden with blue and yellow spots of paint on his vest.
"Whoop!" I happy danced as Aiden continued to glare at me teasingly then raised his gun and shot at my arm!
"Ow!" I shrieked and clutched the spot he hit. "You dipshit! your already out! You can't shoot me!"
He shrugged an grinned evilly "My bad."
I narrowed my eyes and raised my gun to shoot him back but before I could, he ran back into the woods, laughing manically.
"What a freak." I muttered, turning around and continuing to run through the woods in search of Taylor but then realized that if I sneak up on her, she'll react like a startled gazelle and run off and/or shoot me in the face.
And if you've paint balled before, you'd know that, that is not something you'd want to happen, especially in the face.
Deciding to go solo, I turned and quickly ran in the opposite direction, counting the amount of people that have been eliminated.
Aiden, Hayley, Jenna, Josh and Xavier.
People left were Taylor, Colton, Will, Aaron, and me of course. After my talk with Colton I realized that he was right, I hadn't been spending time with Taylor, or Jenna for that matter.
And the guys brought paint ball guns and vests so why not?
I groaned as I heard yells and laughs coming close from behind me and since Taylor and I were the last girls, they were all guys and they were probably faster than me and would catch me if I ran.
So what's a girl to do?
She climbs a tree.
I tucked my paintball gun inside my jacket and continued to make my way up the tree, branch by branch, I climbed up to the top and hid behind the leaves. Waiting. Plotting.
From the corner of my eye I could see two figures jogging and laughing, it was Will and Aaron.
"We went down this path twice, Where is everyone?" Will frowned.
Aaron shrugged "I don't know, Taylor's probably with Josh somewhere-" I tuned them out as I smirked as I thought about how I was right and how I was going to look into that later.. Also, how funny it is that even boys gossip at times. "-And Colton is probably off fucking around with Alex." Both boys snickered and my jaw dropped.
That's it.
I began to aim my gun at the back of Aaron's head when he twisted around at the same time I pulled the trigger and he instantly fell to the floor, clothing his forehead.
"HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!" He exclaimed as Will kneeled down to inspect his injury.
My jaw dropped as I immediately tried to hold back a laugh but failed miserably as I began to bark laughter and clutch my tummy.
Through my endless laughter I didn't see Will raise his paintball gun and shoot at me, luckily he missed but that didn't stop me from wobbling and falling straight out of the tree.
I felt my eyes screw shut as my hair whooshed around my face.
This is it. I'm going to die. Oh god. I don't want to die. Not yet. I'm so cool, and hot! how could I die now?!
I waited for the pain to come but it never did. Instead I was met with strong arms and a thud as I fell into them.
Once I calmed my breathing, I snapped an eye open and saw Colton staring down at me in his arms with worry and anger.
"What the fuck?" he snapped at Will, who struggled to speak.
"Shit! Sorry Alex, I didn't mean to!" he raced over to me, causing Colton to tighten his grip on me.
I couldn't focus on what Will was saying because I was too busy staring up at Colton in shock.
'Where the hell did he come from?' I thought as I analyzed the way he ground his teeth together, creating a defining jawline, the way his electrifying blue eyes flared with anger as he argued with Will.
Over me..
"I'm fine guys, no worries.. Could you put me down now?" I asked Colton, whose eyes softened when they looked down at me , and nodded, setting me back on my feet.
I sighed and touched my forehead, which was covered in a thin layer of sweat and I recoiled instantly.
I hate sweating but then again it is like 100 degrees out here.. And the fact that I just fell out of a tree and almost met my doom.. Maybe that's why I'm sweating... Or it could just be Colton's hotness radiating off him..
Yup. Yup. Definitely Colton's hotness.
Colton looked at me once more, "You sure your okay?"
I nodded and was about to reply when Will burst into chuckles and soon enough those chuckles turned into full on barks of laughter, even to the point where he was bent over slapping his knee, and clutching his stomach.
Colton and I exchanged confused glances until Will finally sobered up and a lazy smile appeared on his lips.
"It all happened in like slow motion." He explained "Alex's face the whole way down was like this," he scrunched up his face and even Colton cracked a smile "You looked horrified." He laughed.
I couldn't help but chuckle "I was horrified you asshat."
He mock gasped "Bad word!"
A loud groan sounded, and everyone turned to look at Aaron who was still lying on the ground clutching his forehead which was now bruised with a small cut across it.
"Yay for fucking Alex, surviving a tree fall. Now can someone please get their ass over here and tend to my wound?"
Colton snickered "You sound like a fucking pussy man."
Aaron flipped Colton off as Will helped him up and they walked down the path back to the cabin.
I looked at Colton, who seemed to be in some sort of daze but soon snapped out of it once I spoke up.
"Thanks for that."
He smirked "How is it, I'm always saving you?"
He was right. He saved me from getting punished for my fight with red, he saved me from what could have been rape, he saved me from falling out of a tree. Add that to the list.
"Trouble follows me?" I suggested sheepishly.
He threw an arm over my shoulder as he began to lead us back towards the cabin "So, death by falling out of a tree huh?"
I nodded and chuckled at how absurd it sounded "I guess that's what would have happened."
"I prevented that."
"So?"
"So we're basically together now." He smirked cockily and even though he was just teasing me I couldn't help but frown.
"Oh please, I could never date you."
He raised a brow faking shock "Well why not?"
"No idea, maybe it's just the amount of girls you've been through." I shrugged nonchalantly.
A smirk made it's way to his face once more "Jealous?"
"Or maybe I just don't want an STD. Ever thought about that?" I asked, resting my head on his shoulder as we continued to make our way back to the cabin.
He scoffed "Please, I have standards. I don't let just any hoe bag ride this roller coaster." He gesture to his body cockily and I burst out into laughs as he smiled softly back at me.
There are few things I actually like about Colton. One being his perfect blue eyes. Another being that smile. Usually what I get is a cocky smirk and even though that smirk is attractive as hell, that soft smile he possesses.. It does things to me man.
"Seriously though, I'm pretty much the Prince Charming to your Cinderella or something."
I felt my lips tug upwards.
Pretty much.
