--Erin's POV--

Later today we were all going swimming. yikes. Let's just say I have a lack of self- confidence. Anyway we were all getting our swim suits and swimming stuff ready to go. We all walked together into to the forest and through the trees to this huge clearing. We walked down the hill and sat down in the dirt, everyone stared taking off they're cover ups, except for me. Sophia gave me a weird look to me not taking off my cover up. Jack noticed to and came over to me, "Follow me" he said and started walking to a group of trees. "Jack what are we doing back here?" I asked looking around, "Why dint you take off you cover up when everyone else did? Is there more scars on your stomach?" He said hugging me. " No, it's just...ugh" I stressed so hard over nothing. " Erin, Look at me" he said. When I lifted my head my eyes meet with his beautiful brown ones, "You are beautiful in every single way, I love everything about you" I smiled at his words. No you aren't he's just lying. SHUT UP. The voices in my head are getting stronger everyday. I was still looking at Jack when he said " You. Are. Beautiful" I smiled even more. " Okay fine, I'll take off my cover up and swim" I say walking back to the rest of the squad. I took off the large sweatshirt I was wearing to reveal my black and blue swimsuit. Everyone looked at me and smiled, knowing that whatever Jack said worked. There was a slab of rock sticking out that you could jump off of. " First one up there gets to tweet off someone's account" Finn says and starts running up the hill to the rock. We all dart toward the rock trying to beat one anther to be the first. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and passed Sophia and Finn. I'm going to win this thing, I started to run faster and faster until it felt like I was going to fall down. I won! I was the fist one up, Chosen was second and Wyatt was third. " Okay...Erin...you...won" Finn said out of breath, "who do you want the person to be?" he said more stable this time. "Hmmmmmm let's see" I said making them all nervous. " I think I'll go with Jaeden" I said smiling an evil smile. Jaeden just looked at me and said "Oh no" I laugh and he looks even more scared. We started arguing about who was going to jump first," I'm not jumping fist, it looks like I'd die" Finn said, we laughed. " I'll go so ya'll stop bickering" I said then jumped off. I shot up out of the water and looked up at them. They all started jumping in one by one, Jack was last. We were all swimming and having fun, Sophia got out and was trying to tan while I was still swimming with all the guys. After a bit I got tired of swimming so I joined Soph tanning. "Hey, what's up E" she says while I lay out a towel and lay next to her, " Not much' I got tired of swimming so I came to tan" I say and lay on my back. She just nods and puts her sun glasses back down. I was lying there for a good 30 minutes when I heard my phone go off, I roll over on my side and check what it was, it was another message. this one said, ' I told you to stay away, you didn't listen, you better leave before Jack is hurt now too'. I'm so screwed. " Hey guys I got to go Cameron said he needs me" I yelled, they all yelled back okay except for Jack, he got out of the water and dried off. "I'll walk you home" he smiled I just nodded. I wanted to say no I'm fine but at the same time this is the last time I'll see him for a while...Our walk home was peaceful and nice, I felt Jack's brush against mine, I lightly blushed and put a strand of hair behind my ear. Jack the slowly slid his hand into mine and interlocked our fingers. When we got to my house, we said goodbye. I hugged him as hard as I could cause I knew it'd be the last time I'd see him for a while.
