-Adrien's pov:-
Yeah, I guess I've been feeling really overwhelmed lately. But that's logical, seeing all the things I've been accomplishing over the past few days.Although yesterday I had a whole day to rest it wasn't enough to fully charge my social battery.But no exceptions, today's the day. I had waited all afternoon for people to arrive at my apartment. All though James should've been here already for half an hour, I didn't bother.I still needed to drive for a solid amount of two hours so I shouldn't ruin my energy on stressing right now.The first persons arrived. They were Jasper, Lola , Walter and Warren. I guess they all travelled with the same train."Hey Adrien!" I heard Warren yell.I just smiled as they came closer to me step by step."Hey man how's it going?" Asked Walter, I hadn't seen him for too long now."I'm good mate!"At that moment a black Mercedes drove around the corner.Was it James?The car stopped next to mine in front of us.It was indeed him.He stepped out of the car with a bright smile on his face."James you're late! You promised you'd be here half an hour ago.""Listen I'm sorry mate the traffic just wasn't with me today."Right as I was about to say something some other people arrived as well.They were Tom, Silas and Esper.I greeted them but quicky turned back to James, I wasn't gonna let him slide that easily."Next time let me know you're gonna be late, we still have to sort things out and not knowing you're gonna be late might screw up the plans you know." I said a little angry but managing to keep my temper."I Know, I know but I just forgot about it."I shook it off. "It's fine I guess. But back to plans. It's a smart idea to drop off luggage in James's trunk cause mine is filled with camp materials."James opened the door to his trunk and everyone layed their bags inside of it. We had to squeeze so I didn't think those bags of the three remaining person would ever fit in there, maybe I have a tad of space remaining.We were only waiting for Elijah, Jack and Millie and they aren't quite particular people for bringing giant suitcases so it must fit right?When they had finally arrived we managed to squeeze one more bag in James's car and the others into mine.As soon as that's was settled we made a seating arrangement.Due to the fact that I have less people in the car James forced me to have the more loud people in my car, I do get it though.I sat in a car with Tom next to me in the passenger seat, Esper behind me, Elijah in the middle of the backseat and Jack on the right beside him.I knew this would be a terribly long ride but I guess I'm a pretty energetic person too so I'll probably make it.It wasn't even five minutes Into the ride before the chaos broke out.I was trying to focus on following James's car cause he had the location of the woods we were going and I didn't, even though I was miserable failing due to the distraction coming from around me."Ever thought about how easy it is to kill somebody? It's just the getting away with it part that is hard." Said Elijah."Elijah are you okey? Do I need to call your doctor?" Asked Tom.Not gonna lie, I laughed."Don't even ask him Tom just call already." Said Esper."For real though." Finished Jack.The conversation ended right there and then causing a horribly awkward silence."What would you guys wanna do the moment we get there?" I asked to start a conversation but also get a clue on what to do on our camping experience."I'd say explore the area there." Said Elijah."Oh I see we got someone in his natural habitat." Said Jack."Shut up Jack." Said Elijah loud."K." Responded Jack. And so he did, he went silent for at least half an hour, after I had lost track of time, which was a mistake."I couldn't care less, as long as the viewers like it it's fine with me." Replied Tom."I'm sure the viewers will love seeing the area around our camping plot." Said Elijah quick after."Shut up about your exploring!" Yelled Esper."I'm sure the viewers will love seeing us argue like this." I thought by myself.Maybe it wasn't a smart idea I had invited this many people to this trip. Too many people mean too many voices, and that easily leads to arguments, I sure have learned that by now."Elijah get your dirty hands off of me!" Yelled Esper.It came out of nowhere and I had to laugh."Why's everybody just frantically attacking Elijah?!" I asked still dying by his attitude."Because we know he wouldn't care." Said Tom."Fair point." I responded back."Man I have chosen the wrong car." Sobbed Elijah sarcastic.Oh I loved this man his attitude, don't ask me why, couldn't tell you either.And that's where I started to get comfortable with people in my surroundings again.Maybe a little too comfortable. I had gotten into such convos I had lost the black Mercedes I needed to follow.I pulled up at the side of the road and called James."Hi?" I asked seeing if we had connection."Hey man, I saw what happened." Said James."I have lost you.""I noticed, I'm coming right now just stay where you are.""Yep, will do, thank you." I spoke before hanging up."What'd he say?" Asked Tom."He's coming.""Oh okay than it's fine." He said.We waited for about five minutes before Wilbur pulled up.He got out of the car and seeing him I did the same.He handed me a tracker."Here, with this I'll be able to track you from anywhere for if you get lost again. Make sure to be keeping this with you at all time okey?""Can I track you with it?" I asked curious to see how it works."It's a one way device. I don't think it can do that, but as long as I know you're not lost we'll both be fine. I hope you know how it works cause I'll be heading back to my car before those people in it'll break it." Said James rolling his eyes."Is it that bad?"He nodded."Oh god, good luck with those than." I said stepping back into my car and turning the engine back on."Is everyone ready to go again?" I asked looking around if everybody had their seatbelts on.Man, I really hoped James's car wasn't as bad as he was telling me it was.-James's pov:-I clicked my phone onto the dashboard to easily see the location of the woods we'd visit. I also knew Adrien wasn't having it as easy as I was so I knew I had to keep an eye on him so he wouldn't get lost.I did quickly get tired of the amount of people around me though. Not particularly them, just the amount of overwhelming voices I needed to process were a little much.It wasn't the biggest problem though seeing most of the people were relatively silent.I was with Millie, Walter, Warren, Jasper, Lola and Silas with Walter next to me since he's the tallest. Behind him sat Warren, next to him sat Silas and behind them sat Millie, Lola and Jasper.Lola, Jasper and Millie were really zoned out on their on conversation. But they were too far in the back of the car for me to follow their talk.Although Silas's, Warren's and Walter's conversation sure was something to be trying to keep track of.I tried to follow it, I really did but it went from here to there in a flash.It got me really overwhelmed. Needing to keep track of Adrien , trying to follow their conversation, Looking at the navigation and also paying attention to the traffic, it's a lot you know.I needed to take a right at the upcoming junction.I heard Adrien's name coming from Silas's mouth and it caught me off guard.Why was he talking about Adrien behind his back?Before I knew it I had encountered the junction and last minute took a right. I hadn't caused any accident or something so I guess we're good.Or so I thought, I checked up on Adrien and saw he didn't make the right due to me being a little late at doing so.I tried to call him but before I could he called me."Hi?""Hey man, I saw what happened." I said."I have lost you.""I noticed, I'm coming right now just stay where you are.""Yep, will do, thank you." He spoke before hanging up.I turned back on the first roundabout I could and looked for the same street Adrien went into.After I found it I saw his car standing in that road on the side of the lane.I got out of my car with the tracker I brought and made my way to Adrien.I handed him the tracker."Here, with this I'll be able to track you from anywhere for if you get lost again. Make sure to be keeping this with you at all time okey?" I said."Can I track you with it?" He asked curious to see how it works."It's a one way device. I don't think it can do that, but as long as I know you're not lost we'll both be fine. I hope you know how it works cause I'll be heading back to my car before those people in it'll break it." I Said rolling my eyes."Is it that bad?"I nodded. I knew they wouldn't break my car but I wasn't exactly waiting on a full talk right now."Oh god, good luck with those than." He said stepping back into his car and turning the engine back on.I also walked back to my car and drove off making sure Adrien remained behind me.Just an hour more, and then I'll be able to rest for some time, I think.-Adrien's pov:-After James had found me I started to follow him again.I had put the tracker he gave me in my back pocket. I'm sure it'll help me out soon.I quickly got back into talking with the rest."I'm actually impressed you've actually accomplished to organize all this in five day by the way, actually organizing this on its own is something to pull off." Complimented Tom."Thank you! It's been really stressful but it did work out eventually so I'm satisfied." I responded."He's right though, I'm really proud of you." Said Jack."Thank you but I couldn't have done it without James's help. Quite frankly without him I wouldn't even be a streamer anymore.""I'm glad he helped you." Said Esper."That's what friends are for right?" I ended.Even though I had great communication with the people in my car I still felt compassion for James.I really hoped he had it as good as I had.-James's pov:-I knew James's car was at least a hundred times more exciting than my one.I still felt the pressure upon my shoulders from earlier. But a bit off that had gone away due to the given tracker.I still had to deal with the six voices around me though which was hell.I did really hope Adrien wouldn't feel sorry for me and ruin his own experience in his car.I did manage to understand a conversation coming from behind me.It was about the tent organization they were planning.Furthermore the ride really wasn't that interesting so I don't think I have anything to fill up.When we got there I told everyone to get out of my car and to grab their bags.Adrien also managed to follow me the entire route without losing me a single time after the first incident.I'm glad we're finally here.The only thing we need to do now is find a nice place to set our sight and built up our tents.Easy.-Adrien's pov:-We finally got there. Everyone grabbed their bags out of the car they've put it in. I checked to see how many people had backpacks and had hands free to carry some of the camping stuff.Three, three persons had hands free, that'll do. "Millie, Tom and Warren. Can you three come help me over here, I need some hands." I asked as polite as I could.They came. "We'll need to carry these two gas bottles, two tents, and these crates filled with food and drinks."I quickly realized this wasn't gonna work as I hoped it would. Some people are going to have to walk multiple times. It was a two mile walk so that would be an awful lot of work. I guess we'll have to deal with it seeing we don't have any other choice. I handed Millie a gas bottle and the other bottle I handed to Warren.I gave a tent to Tom and carried the other tent myself."Alright, it's a walk of two miles so make sure you have some water in reach." I told everyone before leaving.We walked deeper inside of
-adrien's pov:-The moment we got there I took matter into my own hands. I grabbed the attention of everyone which was kinda hard seeing how many people we had."It's getting kinda late and dark so we might wanna hurry this a bit up. We're going to need to set up two tents. We'll never make it to set up the kitchen tent too so we'll be stretching our hands over that by morning. For now we'll form ourselves into two teams of six. These teams will also be the people you'll be sleeping with in your tent so choose wisely okay?" James immediately approached me with a horribly proud look. I smiled at him as he gave me a hug. "I'm so proud of you, you're finally becoming a man Adrien." He said whilst still in the hug."Thank you, thank you so much." As he let go of the hug I saw Millie, Lola and Jasper standing close to me and James."Just to clarify, we're standing here to be joining your tent." Said Jasper."Yeah, we figured you two would definitely share a tent and thought you both ar
-James's pov:-The crates of food Warren and I had to carry were heavier than I expected so it took longer than it should've took but we were there."You had to ask me for this?" Asked Warren visually out of breath."Come on we're here don't exaggerate." I replied.I immediately noticed the tents being set up pretty good. Honestly I wasn't expecting that with those people, and to be fair you can't even blame me!I heard one of the zippers of the tent and saw a figure coming out of the left tent."James? James is that you?" Said Adrien frantically."Yes it's me!" I yelled back.Adrien ran towards and fell into my arms. "I've been worried sick! I thought I'd lost you! What took you so long?!" He asked with mixed feelings. I felt his sadness and anger melt together into one emotion.I held him close to me."I'm sorry, the crates were heavier than expected. But you're tired Adrien. We all need a rest including you. Come, let's go." I said letting go of him."Don't ever do that again." "
-Tom's pov:-Honestly I was so tired. But I just couldn't seem to get myself to sleep. I heard Walter rolling over and over so I guess he must be having the same issues as I'm having right now.I layed at the door side of the tent so I could quickly get out which was nice. I finally found a comfy position. I felt it, I could fall asleep like this. Until I heard footsteps. Who the fuck would be out so late? Wait, maybe James and Warren finally came back? No, no that can't be them. They've came back before. Who? It kept me paranoid. I sat up in my bed and tried to peek through the holes of the unopened windows.It sure looked like somebody was standing infront of the tent of the others but on the other hand it didn't.No, no it can't be. Did it just move? I heard a horribly loud bang. Louder than loud. Impossible to not hear.That was the final drip for me. I looked around seeing everyone sitting right up. Apparently the bang had awoken everyone.I heard yelling and crying come
-Adrien's pov:-I still couldn't get James's limp body off of my thoughts. It kept bugging me over and over. He promised. I know he couldn't have avoided this but it hurted more than anything.But Warren was right. Instead of showing grief, I should make my loss a reason to keep fighting and make sure this never happens again. In the time the five of us had already ran deep into the forest.It was too dark to be able to see properly so we had an absolute amount of zero clue where we were.We stopped to get ourselves rest and some breath."This is all your fault Adrien." Said Millie."Millie no, don't do this right now." Commanded Lola."It's the truth. Without him non of us would be in danger right now. Without him we wouldn't have lost James. Without him-" "Millie shut up!" Shouted Warren. "This is not the time for arguments." But personally, I wasn't gonna let Millie's argument gonna slide."You think I wanted this? You actually believe I wanted to lose one of my closest friends
-Lola's pov:-I was trying so hard to keep order with everyone and keep them calm.But it was hard. Very hard. I mean we have just witnessed a murder so it can't be easy for them, neither for me dont get me wrong.It's just that I never really knew how to express my feelings.We waited for what seemed like an hour and were making our way back to the camp.I knew it was a dumb idea but we might as well try right? If we stay in one place he'll find us sooner or later anyways.I saw our camp sight in the distance. I hoped so bad we weren't going to be having someone over. But I could feel it, we weren't alone. "Hold on." Said Jasper stopping everyone from walking. "Are we sure we want to do this? It's dangerous, very dangerous, isn't it better to just hide until the sun will rise?" "I'm certain." I replied. "We'll have to. That psycho has the upper hand, he knows every move we make. If we don't get out of here he'll make an end to all of us." Reacted Millie.So he finally came back to
-Elijah's pov:-Silas was not himself anymore. If anyone would ask him anything it would be some bold reaction of a simple amount of two words. I wanted to be there for him but I'm just not a good comforter. No matter how hard I seem to try I simply can't do it. My whole entire life has been like this. I've never really gotten the chance to ever speak out my opinion.It's always oh Elijah can take those jokes, oh Elijah stop doing this, oh Elijah why are you even here?It's never how are you? It's never are you okay? It's never we should stop cracking everything Elijah says down.I'm fed up with this. Even in a life or death situation nobody seems to think about me.That leads me to think. "Why do I still put energy into them, when the only thing they do is taunting and damaging.I shouldn't give them a second chance anymore if they didn't even put the energy into giving me my first.If I'm not good enough to be a part of this, why wouldn't you tell me? If I'm not good enough quit
-Millie's pov:-It had been silent for too long. None of us actually had any idea what to do next. Somebody must've taken those keys before we could, we just didn't know who.It could've also been the other group, I really hoped it was them.Honestly everything would be better than that psycho having control over those keys.I swear, anything.I also felt horribly sorry for attacking Adrien the way I did.Honestly I panicked so hard I wasn't in control of what I was doing, I swear if I could turn back the clock I would.Not even to stop us from camping, but just to be able to say sorry.Even though I had just seen someone murdering my friend it didn't give me rights to put the blame on a unstable child. I swear I'd do anything to be able to return everything to how it was.I didn't mean to, I swear I didn't mean to.He's been through so much, much more than a man should go through, much more than anyone should go through.I shouldn't have done it, I shouldn't have yelled at him.
