Over the next few days, the group went out and did some more camp things. There was only 4 days left until everyone had to leave to go back to their regular lives.
"Want a hotdog?" Nick asked Tara, while they were all sitting around the campfire that evening. Nick took a stick and was making himself a hotdog, but offered Tara one first.
"Sure" Tara said, and she smiled at Nick. Nick made her a hotdog, and then gave it to her.
Karine was sitting beside AJ around the fire, chatting about his and Marissas break up. Karine was telling him what she thought of Marissa, and that he should forget about her cuz she was not good for him.
At around 11pm, it started to rain out, so the girls stopped the fire, and everyone retreated to their own tents. Shortly later, everyone fell asleep, listening to the patter of the rain coming down on the nylon on the tents.
At around 2:30am, AJ woke up because he felt a bit wet. When he opened his eyes, he noticed that his tent was leaking, and water was starting to enter the tent! As AJ got out of his sleeping bag, he heard Nick scream.
Nick woke up to find his tent completely flooded with water on the floor. About 3 inches of water lay on the floor of Nicks tent, all of his belongings were soaked. Nick was soaken wet, and didnt know what to do. Nick found the zipper to his tent and ran out in the rain.
"MY TENT FLOODED!" Nick said. As Nick looked at his tent, he noticed that his tent was in the center of a huge water puddle, with mud.
"Theres like, three inches of water in there" Nick screamed to AJ, as AJ ran out of his tent.
"My tent is leaking!!!, but its not as bad as yours!" AJ said out loud. The rain was coming down really hard and the boys were totally soaked.
"What are we going to do?" Nick screamed at AJ.
"We gotta go to someone else's tent! Im not sleepin in the car!" AJ screamed back. AJ ran into the girls site, and Nick ran also. Nick tripped over a rock and landed on his back in the mud.
"Hey Man!! are you okay?!" AJ screamed as he ran back and helped Nick up. Nick had mud all over the back of him!
"yeah, Im fine!! Lets go!" Nick said. When they reached the girls tents, AJ ran to Karines.
"Karine!! wake up!!!" AJ screamed, not wanting to open the zipper of her tent. Karine woke up, hearing AJ screaming. Karine opened her tent zipper.
"AJ! What is it?" Karine said, half awake.
"Karine! My tent is leaking! and Nick's is totally flooded! Can we stay with you?" AJ asked.
Karine woke up right away.
"I only have room for one.. " Karine said.
AJ hopped into Karines tent.
"Sorry man!! Try Tara's tent!! Karine only has room for one!" AJ said, and then he zipped up the tent.
Nick ran to Tara's tent, freezing from the rain. Nick opened up the zipper to the door of Taras tent and popped his head in.
"Tara, are you up?" Nick said.
A few moments later, Tara opened her eyes.
"I am now" Tara said, her eyes trying to open.
"My tent is totally flooded!! I have three inches of water in my tent, everything is wet! and I have nowhere to sleep!" Nick said.
Tara unzipped the rest of the door, and invited Nick in. Nick crawled into the tent, totally wet, and shut the door.
"Your shaking!!" Tara exclaimed, as Nick sat there, shaking from being soo cold and wet.
"Im really cold!" Nick said, shaking.
"You got to get out of those wet clothes!!!" Tara said, all worried.
"I cant! All my clothes are wet!" Nick said.
"Well, you have to change! let me get something" Tara looked thru her clothes, trying to find somethign suitable for a guy. All she came up with was a pair of Boxers.
"Well, here's something!" Tara said, and she gave Nick the boxers."I'll turn and look the other way while you change into those!" Tara said. Tara lied down, and turned to look at the wall of the tent.
"Ok! Im done changing" Nick said. Tara turned around, to see Nick in the pair of boxers that she was lending him. Tara took the wet clothes, and put them in the corner, and wrapped Nick up in a towel. When Nick was dry, Tara put the towel away.
"I dont have an extra sleeping bag, so you get to share with me" Tara said, trying not to blush. Nick tried not to blush either. Nick climbed in the sleeping bag and lied down, with Tara beside him. Nick was shaking a bit, still cold from his hair being wet.
"Awww come here" Tara said worryingly about Nick. Nick turned and faced Tara, and Tara wrapped her arms around his waist and put her hands on his back, and held him close to her. Nick wrapped his arms around Tara and held her close to him. Nick buried his face into her shoulder, smiling. Nick and Tara fell asleep like that, holding onto eachother close, both were happy.
Meanwhile, in Karine's tent, Karine made AJ change into an old tshirt and a pair of boxers that Karine had packed.
"I really appreciate this, Karine" AJ said after he was finished changing.
"Hey, I dont mind! I just dont want you to get sick!" Karine said kindly. "you'll have to share with me, Alex! Im sorry, I have no extra sleepingbags".
"Its ok, I dont mind" AJ said. Karine opened the sleepingbag, and AJ joined Karine.
"I cant believe my tent leaked!" AJ said, kinda laughing at what happened.
"Yeah, we told you guys not to put your tents on low ground! but you wouldnt listen to us!" Karine joked.
"Next time we'll listen to you!" AJ said, smiling. Karine laughed and so did AJ.
"Im kinda glad though, that this storm happened" AJ admitted.
"really? Why?" Karine asked strangely.
"Well, cuz now I get to be in here with you. You see, Karine, since I've met you, I like you. But I just havent said anything, because Marissa and I brokeup recently, and I wouldnt want to hurt you. But now I realize that I only have three days left with you after tonight, and I want to make the best of it. I dont know how you feel about me, but you know I like you now. I dont want to rush things, because I dont want to end up hurt, and I dont want to hurt you. I'd like to start seeing you, Karine" AJ said. Karine didnt know what to say.
"Oh Alex! I do like you too! And Im sorry about Marissa! I would NEVER do that to you! I dont want to rush things either, I want to take things slow too!" Karine said.
AJ hugged Karine, and then they fell asleep in eachothers arms.
