Going hiking was a lot better than I had anticipated. After getting breakfast we made a beeline to our destination. It's been about an hour and the boys were way ahead of us girls.

"I do not want to leave here. I can't believe we have to leave in three days" Mia said

"Yeah same if I could stay here and not go back home I totally would" Veronica inputed. "Oh my God is that top?" She yelled at the boys pointing at the top of mountain.

"Yeah come on!!" Justin yelled back. We all immediately started running towards them. At that moment my head began to feel dizzy again. I stopped I closed my eyes briefly before Veronica started shouting at me.

"Sierra come on!"

I opened my eyes and saw Mia and her staring at me. "Yeah I'm coming. Just give me a second" I said. I removed the bag off my back and grabbed the water bottle. My conclusion was that the only reason I've been feeling dizzy is because i haven't been drinking enough water. After downing nearly half the bottle I walked towards them.

"You ok?" Mia asked

"Yeah just thirsty" I lied. We made our way to the boys who were already at the top.

"Woah it looks so cool from up here" I said in awe

"See it wasn't so bad was it" Aaron teased walking up from behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on top of my head.

"I feel like dying inside" I deadpanned.

"When we go back home I am signing you up at the gym because you probably the most unfit person I've ever met" he laughed

"Hey I'm not that unfit! I can do five pushups" I shot back

"And I can do thirty in a row"

"Show off" I muttered under breath

"Hey guys we are playing never have ever" Mia called. We looked back and so then sitting on the ground a few feet away from us. We walked over to them and sat next to them. I noticed there were a bunch of cans and bottles in the middle of the circle.

"Seriously? You guys brought alcohol up here?" I asked sitting down.

"Yes plus how many people can say they went hiking and got drunk at the very top" Justin laughed

"Ok you guys know how it works. If you have done it you have to take a drink" Mia explained. "I'll start" she said. "Never have I ever smoked weed"

I watched as Aaron and Josh took a swing of their drink. I looked shocked at them both, mostly Aaron. "You smoked that stuff?"

"I was sixteen and got dared to. I only took two puffs tho" he shrugged

"Same for me but I actually got high and my mom found out. Got grounded for a month" he laughed.

"Ok my turn" Justin said sitting up straight. "Never have I ever gone skinny dipping"

I hesitantly took a sip of my drink. So did Veronica. Aaron looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Well?"

"I did it twice. The first time was with Veronica and the second time was with my ex"

"Wait I didn't know you did it with Ryan" Veronica said.

"Yeah I actually don't know why I never told you" I laughed.

"Never have I ever walked in on someone doing it" Veronica smirked. I glared at her

"Oh come on you know I've done that" I said

"That's the whole point babe I'm trying to get you out" she laughed. I rolled my eyes at her and took another sip. I noticed Mia took a swing too.

"Walked I'm on my ex doing with my ex best friend" I said

"Wait seriously? That's like really fucked up" Josh pointed out.

"Yeah no shit" I laughed

"I walked in on my parents doing it when I was ten" Mia said shuddering from the memory. Everyone immediately started laughing.

"Aww you poor thing. You have been scarred for life" Veronica said pulling her in for a hug.

"Yeah and then the next day they gave the talk and everything" she continued.

"Never have I ever done it in the backseat of a car" I said. I saw Veronica and Josh smile quietly to themselves and then they picked up their drink.

"Ugh you guys are such freaks" I said fake vomiting.

"Best sex I've ever had" Josh smirked. I then noticed Aaron beside took a sip of his drink too.

"You had sex in the car? With who? Actually I don't even want to know" I said shaking my head. The thought of him having sex with another girl actually made me want to throw up.

"Never have I ever peed in the shower" Aaron said. Everyone immediately picked up their drinks. We kept going for a few more rounds.

"Ok I think we should stop before we get too drunk and then we won't be able to walk down" I giggled

"Agreed" Mia said.

"We should actually just go now because it's getting dark" Justin said standing up. We all stood up after him. I groaned and grabbed the back of my head when I felt dizzy again.

"Woah babe are you ok?" Aaron asked grabbing my arms to hold me up still.

"Yeah I think it's because I had too much to drink, don't worry about it" I said waving it off. He gave me wary look. "I'm fine seriously" I laughed.

"Let's go guys" Justin yelled. I looked back and saw the rest of the group walking down already.

We quickly walked down and caught up to them. I suddenly stopped and grabbed my head. My head started pounding and the world started spinning. I could feel my breathing quicken. It all happened so quick. I lost my balance and fell backwards. Head first. Everything went black.

——————————————-
I found myself in a meadow- a beautiful meadow. I was wearing a white linen dress with no shoes. In the distance I saw a figure. I couldn't figure out what it was or who it was. The figure had a white-yellowish glow around it. I was intrigued and began walking towards it. Step by step the figure began getting closer and closer to me. My breath hitched when I saw who it was

"Dad?" I asked, my voice breaking

"Hi baby girl I missed you" he smiled. He walked closer to me and brought me into his embrace.

"I-am I dead?"

I felt his chest rumble as he let out a chuckle. "Of course not. It's not your time yet"

"Then why am I here?"

"You got into an accident. You fell and smashed your head against the ground. This is all just dream" he said. "I don't have much time but I need you to push yourself to wake up. I need you to be strong for your mom and your friends, especially Aaron"

I gave him a confused look. He knows?

"Yes I know" he laughed. "Just So you know I approve of him"

Suddenly our surroundings started to get brighter. He looked at me and smiled. "Ok hunny you're waking up which means I have to go"

I immediately started to panic because I didn't want to wake up yet. I wanted to stay with him a little longer. "No I don't want to go yet" I cried and then hugged him again

"I love you Sierra. Always remember that"

——————————————
I gasped and opened my eyes but closed them instantly when the light nearly blinded me. I heard shouting and the doors opened. I reopened my eyes and adjusted them to the light intensity.

"Thank God you're awake" I looked to my left I'm a daze and saw Aaron standing over me.

"Hi Sierra. How are you feeling?" The doctor on my right asked. She was female and her blonde hair was tied up into a low bun

"Like crap" I rasped

"That's expected" she said nodding her head. I already explained to your friends what happened but I'll tell you too. I was made aware that you had all been drinking before you collapsed. Is that true?"

I simply nodded my head. "Is that- is that why I fell? Because I was drunk? I only had a few sips" I said

"No I ran some blood tests and you're right you didn't have to too much to drink so that wasn't the reason but it did appear that you had low iron. Can I ask, before you fell did you feel weird or a little off?"

"Yeah I was feeling dizzy throughout the whole day and had some headaches" I said

"What? Why didn't you say anything?" Aaron asked

"I didn't think anything of it. Getting headaches and feeling dizzy is kind of normal and they usually go away on their own" I shrugged

"And you're right. Most of the time it's something minor and nothing worry about but not if you fainted because of it" the doctor explained. "You will need to be eating more iron-rich foods, such as lean meat, nuts and beans. I would also recommend taking some vitamins"

"She will definitely be doing that. Thank you" Aaron thanked.

"No bother. Would you like for me to call in the rest of your friends?" She asked

"Yes please" I said. She nodded and walked away.

Aaron sighed and sat on the bed next to me. "Don't ever do that again. Your mom could have lost you. Your friends could have lost you, I could have lost you" he said, taking my hand in his.

"I'm not going anywhere" I smiled.

"Good" he then leant down and pulled me in for a kiss. At that moment our friends walked in.

"Uhhhh our we interrupting something?" Mia asked.

"No you're ok" I giggled. Veronica was the first to hug me followed by the rest.

"I called your mom and she said she told me once she's off work she's booking a flight out here" Aaron said

"What? Are you kidding me? Call her back for me please"

The phone call between my mom and I was mostly her giving out at me for drinking even thought I barley drank any. I did manage to convince her not to book a flight. It was pointless seeing as we were literally back home in three days.

After about an hour or so our friends left, leaving only Aaron and I in the room. Since I was so small there was enough space for Aaron to lay down with me.

"Remember when it was you in my position" I laughed referring back to when he got injured playing Ice hockey.

"Yeah fun times" he sarcastically said. We then heard my phone buzz on the table next to the bed. He reached over and squinted his eyes as he looked at the screen. "Seriously?" He laughed

"What? What does it say?" I asked.

"It's a reminder to send in college applications"
He said and then handed my phone to me. He was right.

"Ahhh college" I said setting my phone down beside me. "I'm actually really excited. You know for the future and all"

"Am I a part of your future?" He asked. I stared at him like he asked me the dumbest question ever

"Of course you are. You think I'm dating you just for a fun?" I asked rolling my eyes

"Ok then let's hear it"

I smiled and laid my head on his chest. "Ok well we will both go to college. Since you said you want to go to the college I want to go to we will be very close but if not we will try to see each other a lot. Then after four years of college we will do a lot of travelling. I really want to go to Italy or Greece" I laughed

"Mhmm" He said

"We will also find an apartment together. Not in New Jersey though. Maybe LA-"

"Or New York. You gotta love New York" he said

"True true and obviously we will find jobs. Then at some point you will propose to me. I don't care where but you better make sure my nails don't look crusty. I want those engagement ring photos to look bomb" I joked making him laugh.

"We then get married. Your family will be there, my mom will be there and so will all our friends. I then realised my dad will never have the joy of walking his only daughter down the aisle.

"You ok?" He asked

"Yeah anyways we get married and then we will have children. Ideally I think we should have three"

"Three is a good number. I don't really care which gender is first as long as they are healthy" Aaron said which made me smile.

I looked up at him. "What?" He asked

"I love you" I said

"That's the first time you're saying that since we got back together" he said

"I know" l laughed

"Say it again" he whispered

"I love you" I whispered back

"Again"

"I love you Aaron lee" I giggled

"I love you too Sierra"

Authors note
Heyyyyy lovelies. Long time no see. How are you all? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I was originally going to make this chapter shorter but I just couldn't stop writing. Right now I'm trying to figure out how this book will end. I stuck between making an epilogue or to make a second book because I do have some ideas for their life after college. I also think it has something to do with the fact that Sierra and Aaron have grown so much on me I just don't want to let them go just yet😂

Anyways let me know what you all thought by leaving a comment and a vote
