{ KIDNAPPED }
Alec felt himself getting limb from his toes going up to his head, and he unconsciously fell on the floor.
” Sh*t” He cursed, bleeding from his li-ps. His eyes also closed up in the process.
One of the male student walked into the tent to get something and he met Alec struggling in his own pool of blood.
He got so traumatised that he ran of the tent towards where the boys had gathered around near the campfire.
” Guys, Guys!. Alec!!!” He stuttered as his body shaked uncontrollably. It was the first time seeing someone die in front of him.
” What happened to Alec?” Axel asked feeling a bit less concerned.
” H..he’s laying in a huge pool of blood. You’ve all got to come quickly!!!” He screamed.
” Pool of What??” Axel gasped and everyone rushed to their feet running into the tent as quick as possible.
Axel gasped with his palm covering his li-ps when he saw Alec.
At first, he thought he was only hallucinating but when he moved closer, he saw it was real.
It was Alec, his brother, drained by his own blood.
” Alec!. Oh f****k it!” He ran to him and sat him up. He saw the knife on the floor next to him and he stared up at the boys.
” Who’s responsible for this!. Who killed Alec?!” He yelled hurtfully, staring at each one of them.
No one could say anything. They were all outside in the campfire except Alec, so they imagined he probably killed himself.
” Alec?. Alec wake up?. Alec, why did you do this to yourself, Holy shit!” He said and started to sob hardly.
Kookie came out from the crowd and his eyes wide-ned in disbelief when he saw Alec.
He couldn’t believe he could think like a kid and kill himself all because of that little issue.
Somehow, even tho he hated Alec, he felt extremely hurt to see him this way.
” I have to carry him to miss cherry. Call the principal quickly, Quickly!” Axel said and raised Alec in a bridal style.
Tho he was quite taller and heavy but that wasn’t his problem at that moment.
When he left the tent, Kookie walked to his bed side and picked the note on the bed.
‘Tell poppy I’m sorry’ He read inwardly and fisted his palm tightly.
” Poppy is gonna be so mad if she knows about this” He said and bit his li-p hurtfully.

GIRLS TENT***
The girls were playing chess and Poppy hug-ged her pillow, sighing hard.
She was the only one not engaging in the play, she preferred staying in her bed.
She couldn’t stop thinking about Alec at every second that pa-ssed by and she was terrified to go meet him at the boy’s camp.
She didn’t want to get into trouble for the second time.
Soon, an ambulance dropped into the yard and the siren sounds made all the girls troupe to their feet.
” What’s happening?. Why the ambulance?” Poppy asked.
” Let’s go find out” Oceana said and they all left the tent one by one.
Poppy walked out and luckily met kookie.
” Kookie. What’s happening. Who got hurt?” She asked terrified.
” Alec Just stabbed himself and he’s dying” He said straightforwardly.
She stood still as if her world got paused.
” You are joking right?” She smiled.
” I ain’t joking” He said and Poppy left him, running towards the ambulance quickly.
Her eyelids began to produce when she saw Alec being cleaned up by the health emergency.
” Alec!!!!!” She screamed, realising it was true. Her moon. Her life, her everything.
” No. Alec!!. Its not true. He can’t kill himself. No!!!!!. I’m dreaming!!” She sobbed heavily.
Axel came and pat her.
” It’s okay, poppy. Everything happens for a reason” He said, he was tearing up as well.
” It’s not okay, It’s never going to be the same. Not without Alec” She sobbed uncontrollably.
Axel brou-ght her down the ambulance car and hug-ged her tightly.
She just had to hug him and cry out her eyes. Her body felt weird, she wasn’t normal anymore. She wasn’t poppy, she was melting.
” No. Alec. I want to go see him. He’s not dead. No. I can’t stand this!!” She screamed but axel held her in place.
The principal came out and dusted her eyes with a face napkin.
” Can’t believe we are loosing one of our intriguing students here.” She said to miss cherry.
” Its ha-rd loosing a best friend, a special adviser, my best math students. I never would believe Alec would commit suicide. it hurt so good.” Miss cherry said with tears in her eyes.
” Everyone. Pack your stuffs, the school bus is leaving tonight. The summer camp cannot continue” The principal said and the student began to disarray.
Miss cherry met poppy and pulled her to one of the breaches were they sat down.
” I understand how you feel, poppy. You don’t have to take it personally.” She told her.
” It’s my fault all this happened. I made him commit suicide. I’m stupid, wicked, I’m a bad person. I hate myself so much now!” She sobbed hardly.
Miss cherry rested Poppy’s head on her chest and patted her gently.
” Don’t say that poppy. Let’s just hope the doctors will do something to save him” She said.
Oceana came out of the tent holding Poppy’s hand bag.
” Poppy. I helped you to arrange your stuff. Kookie also gave me this, Alec wrote it” She said and Poppy collected the note.
‘I’m sorry poppy’ She read and nodded her head, smiling hurtfully. ” I’m sorry too, I’m sorry I made you do this. moon. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.” She said and couldn’t stop crying.
The school bus came and all the girls got in to bus quickly with their belongings and the boy’s took the other bus.
Oceana held Poppy and they sat together inside the bus. Poppy stared at the note and couldn’t stop melting in tears.
” Poppy. The more you cry, the more I feel hurt. Please stop crying, Please” Oceana said.
” I won’t stop crying even if the world goes on forever” She said and sniffed hardly.
” I miss him, he can’t just die, oceana. Why would he die and leave me hanging. What about all the memories we made, I thought we would remain forever. Can’t we?” She said and started crying again.
Oceana sniffed hardly and rested her head on her shoulder.
” Let’s just pray silently that he survive everything. I know he will” She said and they interlocked their fingers, closing their eyes.
Soon hours later,
” Wake up, poppy” Oceana tapped her gently.
Poppy slowly opened her dry eyes and saw it was morning.
She was also in her bed tho her body was hurting badly like she had fought karate in her sleep.
She looked around and saw that they were still in the tent.
” It was a dream?” She asked, holding her head cos it hurt badly.
” What was a dream?” Oceana asked.
” Alec, Alec!!!” She screamed and scrimmage out of the bed madly, pursuing air.
All the girls were confused on why she flung out of bed and why she kept calling Alec’s name.
” Is she alright?” Oceana asked the girls and they shrugged with no response.
Poppy got to the boys tent and to-re out the curtain used to block the exit way.
She ran in and saw her gorgeous Alec laying asleep in his bed. His calm face alone brou-ght tears to her eyes.
” Alec!.” She straddled him and hug-ged his face tightly and Alec slowly sat up.
” Poppy. Is everything okay?” He asked carefully without pulling her away.
She breathed heavily and stared at him.
” Your body. Did you stab yourself?. Are you okay?. Please tell me you’re okay, moon. Please” She said and Alec smiled.
” Yeah, I’m okay. Nothing is wrong with me” He said squinting his loving eyes at her.
She started to sob cutely and she hug-ged his neck tightly again.
” I had a terrible, awful and disturbing dream, Alec. You stabbed yourself in it and everything was just so awkward for me. It felt so real and I felt damn terrified” She said.
Alec cleaned her we-t cheeks and looked at her.
” Don’t cry, orange. I’m very fine and I’ll never do such a thing. I’m here for you if you need me everyday, every hour, minute, every second.” He said and she forced a smile.
“I forgive you, okay. I forgive you no matter what made you kill or become a criminal. I love you and I can’t deny it anymore.” She sniffed.
Alec was just dumbstruck. He hadn’t felt happier than this day.
” Thanks orange. I can’t believe you’d come back so soon”
” I can’t do without you. I’m terrified that if I leave you, something bad might happen. I think you should be around me now like my shadow, Don’t you dare leave me” She said poking his nose.
Alec chuckled and pulled her closer.
” Can I ki-ss you?” He asked and she cupped his cheeks, doing it immediately.
She ki-ssed him with every sort of emotion she was feeling and nothing was more beautiful than this moment.
” Awwn. Two lovers, Grosssss!!” The boys around laughed.
They broke the ki-ss quickly and turned to face them, laughing along.
” So?. We’re back together? Still your boyfriend?” He wriggled his brows playfully and she nodded quickly.
” Yes, Yes” She said and stared at the time. ” It’s still 6am. Activities start at 8″ She said and laid next to him.
” You aren’t scared that you’ll be caught?” He asked, laying next to her before pulling the quilt above their heads.
” Ion care” She said and pulled her leg on his body, moving closer before they began ki-ssing hungrily.

XYLAN’S MANSION
Miss cherry walked into xylan’s mansion and met xylan going throu-ghheap of files in the living room.
” Can I help?” She asked and xylan raised his gaze.
” Cherry?” He gasped, love melting in his eyes. Her beauty was just so addictive.
” Hi, Xylan” She waved and he left what he was doing, going up and giving her a long lasting warm hug.
” I’ve missed you” He said.
” Me too” She said and he finally let go of her.
” You didn’t respond?” He asked and Cherry sighed.
” I went on a school trip that’s why I wasn’t home. The place had little network service as well so I wasn’t able to respond to your message. I had to make time to come today” She said.
” Oh. You got me terrified. I thought something else had happened” He said.
” Where’s Craig?”
” Probably upstairs” He said and pocketed his hands. ” I was actually busy arranging some files”
” Can I help?”
” No, It’s kinda stressful” He waved off and Craig came running down the stairs.
” Miss cherry!” He screamed with so much excitement.
” Craig. You’ve grown taller. Strange” She said and he hug-ged her.
” I’ve missed you miss cherry. Where did you go?. You kept dad worried!” He said.
” I was on a trip, darling. I got really busy, I’m sorry Okay?” She said, rubbing his hair dearly.
” Well I forgive you as far as you’re here with us. I’m very excited to see you” He said
” I’m happy to see you too” She said and Craig faced his dad.
” Dad, you promise to take us to the funfair if cherry comes back.” He said and xylan chuckled.
” Yeah. I won’t fail my promise” He said.
” Hey” Lisa waved as she walked towards them slowly. Her face was filled with innocence.
Cherry adjusted her hair as she looked down not knowing what to say again.
” I know I’m not welcome in this gathering. B..but I just…” She cut off words and her eyes started to brew with tears.
” It’s not fair. You guys make me feel awful even after I apologise so many times” She pouted and started to sob hardly.
Cherry walked up to her and pulled her chubby body for a warm hug.
” I’m happy to see you, Lisa. You don’t have to cry” She said.
” Xylan. Craig. I don’t think you should continue this way any longer. The thing is, the first time I came here, I thought I could fit in. But I didn’t know there was someone like Lisa to do the job. She’s kind and beautiful and loving, you should accept her as a family. I know she’s ready to change” She said.
She walked up to Craig.
” Craig. I want you to love me, not as a step mom, but as an aunt. I can’t steal your mothers place in your heart, okay?” She said.
” But__”
” Shh. Craig. I will be upset with you if you don’t accept your mom back. Now be a good boy and hug her. She deserves it”
Craig sighed and hug-ged Lisa warmly.
” I love you mom. I also love you miss cherry” He said and Lisa smiled warmly.
” I love you too son. I love you so much” She said, ki-ssing his forehead gently.
” Xylan..” Cherry winked at him.
He walked up to her and hug-ged her first.
” It kinda ha-rd loving you as a friend” He said.
” Ahem!” Cherry coughed looking at Lisa prickly.
” Of course I remember my wife too” He said and hug-ged Lisa as well, ki-ssing her neck.
Lisa smiled shyly and let go of him.
” I’m sorry for rejecting you, Lisa. But I just hope you’ll change as cherry said” He said.
” I’ll be the best wife I can” She said and xylan smooched her li-p softly.
” Enough of the heartwarming drama. So can we can go to the fun fair now?” Craig asked.
” Yah, of course. Let’s go now” He said and everyone left the house quickly.

CINEMA ***
They were given a break at the camp to go outside the camp and have a little fun.
Poppy and Alec agreed to visit the cinema and axel and oceana agreed to go with them as well.
Poppy and Alec wore their first matching outfit, a white shirt with a love diagram on it.
They looked super cute and everyone stared at them as they walked, hands interlocked like a real couple.
They realised they needed eachother to be happy and this time, nothing would stop them from being together.
They got to the movie advertising spot and Poppy saw a movie that caught her eyes
” Alec. Let’s watch this!. I’m sure it would be good” She said pointing at it happily.
” Titanic?. It seems our mind works together” He said.
” Titanic?. Of all movies?!” Axel jaw dropped.
” Titanic is great” Oceana said.
” Three people choosed Titanic so that’s what we’re watching” Alec said and Axel rolled his eyes.
They paid to watch the movie and they all got in together.
” Alec. Let’s seat in the first row, please. I love a good view of the movie” She pouted at him.
” Sure” He said and sat down. ” Where’s oceana and Axel?” He asked.
” Yah, they were following us around earlier” She said and looked around, she met them coming, arguing again.
” I only asked for four packs of popcorn and you bought two for me!” Oceana yelled.
” That’s cos you can’t even finish one!. The size is as big as our cooking pot!” He yelled.
” Oh, you think I can’t finish one!. I swear I’ll eat you up if I get hungry” She said.
“Look, I don’t have time for this. Let’s just go to the freaking chair and watch the fu-cking movie!!” He yelled and Oceana curled her li-ps sadly.
” Did you just yell at me?” She said and started to sob hardly.
” Hey. Hey. I wasn’t mad at you, okay. I’m sorry” He said and cleaned her tears from her cheeks.
” You are a jerk” She sniffed.
” Yah, I know I’m a jerk.” He said and ki-ssed her forehead.
” I hate you so much” She pouted.
” And I love you” He said.
” I wish you’d could break your head somewhere”
” Yah, it happens. Now let’s go watch a movie, okay?” He said and she followed him to the seat.
Poppy chuckled and stared at him.
” Hey. Alec. What’s wrong?” She asked.
” There was something I wanted to tell you concerning why I killed your dad” He said.
” It doesn’t matter anymore__
” It matters, poppy. The fact that I was forced to join a group of mafia gangsters and on our first operation, I was forced to use the gun. It was my first time and I was terrified. I never knew it was your dad on that spot. I feel very guilty when I think about it” He said.
Poppy was at the verge of crying but she hug-ged his arm.
” It’s in the past now but I guess my mom wouldn’t be happy when she hears it” She said and Alec sighed.
” Those gangster ruined my life and I was told not to come back for revenge from the police or else I’ll be arrested” He said and Poppy got terrified.
” Let’s keep a happy moment and forget about those other things cos it hurt my feelings” She said and the TV brightened. ” Oh. The movie is about to start, Hippy!. Let me quickly go pee before it comes inbetween”
” Okay, orange. Be careful” He said and she left the seat quickly.
She arrived at the hall walkway when someone grabbed her li-ps close from behind.
She felt unconscious instantly cos of some particular odour she inhaled and the lady picked her on her shoulder.
” Come Alec’s little orange. I’ll steal you for a while” She smiled and took her away.
