Thorn's POV

"Thornnnnn!!" Damn, my ears are already hurting by this witch's voice. She's so annoying, she's asking me why she didn't saw me sleeping next beside her this morning. As if she's really my girlfriend. We already talked about this and she agreed for money but now she's becoming annoying.

"What?!" I hissed while sipping on my cup of coffee. It's already morning and I didn't get enough sleep last night because of her. Damn, why can't she accept the fact that she loves me as much as I love her. She's still taking my feelings as a fucking joke for pete's sake.

Pouting, Samantha leaned her head on the table lazily. "My head hurts, I guess I can't go with you guys on the cave." I don't care.

"Take a rest then." I simply shrugged and before I could take another sip of my coffee, she entered the kitchen wearing a loose white knitted sweater and a pair of red shorts. She's so damn beautiful. Francine is like a goddess.

Our eyes met but she looked away quickly as if looking at me can blind her. I watched her every movement, she went on the counter as she started to brew her own coffee before popping bread in the toaster. She didn't moved nor turned around at us, her back remained on us or more like on me. I don't know what's she thinking right now but I hope that she can still remember what happened between us on the seaside last night.

"Guys !! Y'all ready??" Kyle beamed as he entered the kitchen with Chase beside him, holding his phone before putting it back to his pocket. They took a sit in front of us.

"Yeah." I nodded at them as Sofia and Bruce entered the kitchen as well.

Kyle looked at me then at the girl beside me before whispering, "What happened to her?"

"Hangover." I shrugged then he nods.

"Francine can I get a coffee." Kyle raised his hand like a customer ordering at the waitress.

"O-okay.." she flushed a smile before facing his back on us again. Grayson entered the kitchen while yawning and I can't help but to imagine how did they sleep together last night. Fuck it, did he hug her while sleeping? Did he scoop her or back hug her.. did they do something? Damn, I'm going insane.

"Is she fine?" Chase asked, looking at Francine which in Graysons embrace now. I shrugged again. I don't feel like talking to anyone right now especially that they're flirting in front of me.

Placing the plates containing two toast breads in front of every one, she sat across me with her own toast on her plate and a cup of coffee beside it. Grayson is beside her, busy looking at him and she's just giving him sweet smiles as if I'm not watching them. Fuck! Am I invisible in her eyes!?

Clearing my throat, I put down my coffee then looked at them. "Stop flirting in front of the food." Then I stood up.

"Where are you going?" Samantha asked in her state as she stood up too. "I lost my appetite." I mumbled enough for them to hear before storming out the kitchen, Samantha trailing behind me. I know it's rude but I really lost my appetite just by looking at them being lovey dovey with each other.

After taking a long shower, I proceeded to go to my closet, picking a black shirt and my khaki shorts as I took my gray boxer then wear them.

"I really wanna go but this fucking headache isn't letting me." Samantha whined while lying down on the bed.

"Take a rest and if you're well enough, go home." I gave her enough money so I guess she can go home by herself.

She scoffed at me, "Why do you like that girl so much, isn't she your step sister?" My blood boiled and I stormed towards her, grabbing a fistful of her hair as she looked at me with frightened eyes. "I. Don't. Have. A fucking step sister." I hissed with gritted teeth as she nodded her head furiously then I let go of her head.

"Hurry up and get lost." That's all I muttered before going out of my room but destiny's really playing with me. There she is. In the corner, standing and wearing a light blue blazer and a white spaghetti shirt paired with a black denim ripped pants. Her thighs are exposed on my sight and I can't help but to stare at her. She's wearing a brown sandals.

"Heyโ€“" and before I can approached her, she quickly turned on her heels as she walked away, going downstairs to meet with the others. Shit, she's avoiding me.

"So guys, do you have the things that you need already?" Chase asked as we all nodded. "Okay, let's go then." Bruce clapped his hands motioning us to follow him as we all went outside. It's been a long time since I explore the cave here. It's a bit long and so dark inside so we'll be needing bright flashlights and the stones there are slippery.

รทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรท

After 2hours of walking, we finally reached the cave. It's still the same, the only different are the tall grasses that grew around it. It's still beautiful and worth exploring for.

"Come on!!" Kyle jumped as we started to walk inside, opening our flashlights to light our way. Bruce and Sofia leads the way as Chase and Kyle walked beside each other. Francine and Grayson are walking together, hand in hand while I trailed behind them silently cursing this Grayshit from touching what's mine.

I was stopped in my own track when the asshole stopped and turned to me so does Francine. "Pardon?" He asked. Wait, what the fuck!? Did he heard me?

"Nothing, continue." I sway my hand shooing them away and he shook his head as if he's talking to a crazy man. Damn him. Well at least they continued to walked anyways.

We stopped on a big rock, shaped like heart as they took a picture of it. "You know, when you take a picture of this rock all your dreams will come true." Bruce said as they started taking out their phones to take a picture of the so called 'heart rock'.

I didn't plan on taking a picture but my hand automatically run down my pocket to fish out my phone as I aim it to the girl who's smiling sweetly in front of the rock. Her lips are curved expertly into a sweet smile so does her green eyes, her smile is so different from the others. She's so sweet and her eyes are almost grinning whenever she smiles and I guess, that will make you fall in love with her more and more and deeper and deeper until you can't go out of it anymore and you'll just drown. Francines hair is bouncing on her back everytime she nodded at their questions. I snapped a picture of her without her noticing it. A stolen picture of her smiling in front of the heart shaped rock. So perfect.

Chase noticed me and he smirked at me. I glared at him before saving her picture and taking my phone back to my pocket but he just smirked at me even more.

We continued to explore the insides of the cave until Francine's sandal straps broke.

"Dang, what a bad timing." Kyle whined as Grayson looked at her. Everyone stopped from walking.

"Why? what happened?" Chase peeked and whined as well.

"Are you okay?" Gray crouched down on her while Francine sat on one of the small rock inside the cave. She nodded in response.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I think you guys should continue and I'll just catch up with you." She smiled at them easing their worries and I just stood a bit far from them while watching the whole scene.

"But how about you?" Gray asked and she just giggled, shaking her flashlight as if she's telling him 'Don't worry I have my flashlight with me'.

It took a minute before they decided to obey her and continued on walking towards the deepness of the cave.

I turned off my flashlight while looking at her. She's trying to fix the strap of her sandal while muttering words under her breath. It took me so much strength to hold my laughs. Seems like she's unaware that someone is with her right now.

Finally, she fixed her sandal and stood up, taking her flashlight with her. I followed silently, watching her in the dark as she warily looked around her. She's scared.

She sighed before speaking, "Why did I told them that I'll catch up when I don't know the way." She's talking with herself and I chuckled.

"Oh my God!!" She gasped, as she quickly roamed her flashlight around and it stopped in my figure. Her eyes widened in shock as her mouth became parted.

"Thorn? What areโ€“" she didn't managed to finished her words when her flashlight went off. Instinctively, she ran towards me as she hugged me tightly, her head buried on my chest as I hold her closed to me.

"Sshh..calm down, I'm here." I whispered softly on her ear as I rubbed her back up and down soothing her fear and nervousness.

After a moment, she finally calmed down. I decided to continue to walk inside rather than going back because we're already far enough to the entrance to go back. I hold her hand and she kinda flinched but I didn't let go then after a moment I intertwined my fingers with her as we walked together. Her hand feels so soft and warm as I lead the way, Francine is behind me.

รทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรท

"Thorn, where are we heading?" She asked nervously as I continue to walked with her, trailing behind me. Her grip on my hand became tighter as she pulled me back, stopping me from moving.

"Thorn can you answer me? We've been walking like forever I'm getting scared." I sighed then squeezed her hand gently before looking at her straight in the eyes.

"I.. I actually don't know." Lies.

"W-what?" She stuttered as she forcefully let go of my hand. She stepped back a bit.

"I said I don't know, we're lost but let's continue finding our way out." Another lie of me. I know the way, it's just that I don't want to be separated from her for a bit.

"C-can't we just s-shout for help?" Francine's voice is already shaking as her fingers fidgets.

"We can't.. we'll disturb the bats." Well that's true, we can't disturb the bats because it would cause trouble for us if they wake up.

"B-but...โ€“" I snatched her hand before she could finished talking and continued to walk with her inside the cave. I know one way to leave this cave but it's not the exit.

"Just trust me." I plead in a low tone as she remained silent. Although she didn't said any words, I'm still thankful that she didn't protested anymore.

รทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรทรท

"Wow." Is the only thing that went out her mouth the moment we reached the secret place of this cave. When Kyle, Chase, Bruce and I are still small. We go here a lot but I never told them about this secret place just outside the cave. There's two exit in this cave, the one where you'll be out completely and this one, where lots of different flowers and tall evergreens. It's like a fantasy world.

"You liked it?" I asked, standing next to her, still holding her hand on mine. She's smiling and looking around like a child who entered an amusement park for the first time. She's so innocent and pure.

"Are you kidding me? I loved it!!" She exclaimed excitedly as she run around and sometimes stopped by the flowers to smell them.

"Wanna see something more beautiful than this?" I whispered on her ear the moment I reached her as her body stiffened but she managed to nod anyways.

"Seriously? There's a place here that much more beautiful than this?" She points the trees and flowers with her finger unbelievably and I just nodded at her before handing out my hand. She looked at my hand and hesitantly took it as I pulled her close to me. Her breath hitched and I smirked.

"I'm going to take you to my wonderland." I mumbled under my breath as I took her to my safe place.

Her eyes are wide and her lips are parted in shocked and surprised. The sound of the water falling from the tall falls and the cold breeze of air roamed around us. This is my Wonderland here.

"This.. this is amazing. I've never seen a place like this." She breathlessly muttered as she walked slowly, closer to the falls.

"Yes, amazing indeed but it's not enough to compete to the girl who's standing in front of me right now." I voiced out, my hands on my pockets as I smiled at her genuinely when she turned around to me. Her cheeks turned crimson red as she bit her bottom lip to stop herself from smiling but too late, I already saw the corners of her lips moved upward.

If I could stop the time right at this moment, i would. Just to see her smile and be with her forever.



But sadly, I can't.... And I won't give up either until the woman who I truly love will be in my arms.
