Jewlin's pov:

we walk in the woods following the old x's on trees stopping at a waterfall "water bark.." i pull out a blade cutting just enough of what i need "Can you hold this for me" veronica takes the basket it starts to drizzle i take off my skirt *it's a two piece she's wearing shorts* i jump into the spring i dive down into the deep dark water seeing a something shining in the corner of my eye i swim towards it and scrap the algae off of it a binding the moment i knew 

i fucked up i start to swim up but something grabs my foot i try to kick it off this is supposed to be a safe spring its the algae trying to bring me down i start to run out of air i struggle taking off the algae  i start to bleed where it's attach i cut off the algae running out of air  i make it up to the top gasping "you okay?" veronica  i inhale and exhale "yes i'm fine" i swim to the entrance of the spring and grab my bag being soaking wet i wip my hair back i grab the red cloth from the basket 

Julien POV:

"it's gonna be hard getting up with an injurie like that" veronica says holding my leg "the best i can do is wrap it up" looking down at the algae at were it bled veronica softly wraps the ingurie with a the red cloth "can you stand?" i hold tight on his sleeves "I.. I can't at least not on my own" this hurts i can't stand on my own I was gullible to believe a rumor this is my fault ending with the feeling of defeat

two hours later "I can't go any further.." the sun is starting rise "We're almost there!" i sit down my legs weak could i really make it in this forest? "The sun is about to rise you need to go" I grunt at the burning pain "I'll be fine go.."

Veronica's POV:

veronica being unsure, she's right if I take her we both could die my best choice is to leave her i leave running away

Now being midday Julien wakes up she gets up and stumbles she hears something growling she falls on the tree trying to keep her eyes open but falls back asleep she starts to remember the time she met veronica she was working a night shift with at a casino krelle watching from the bar she was wearing a lantern sleeve wrap hem belted satin dress in a blood red she would sing she had the type of voice that would stop the room even just being there, her beauty would entrap the people. She could smitten anyone if not her looks, her core. "Now this go to a specular person " she sings

(hi 2022 me IF UR READING THIS CRINGE ,-,  but like idk they got like back home-? Idfk this is why I was re-writing this BECAUSE NOTHING MAKES SENSE) 

O-Okada? My god it's been forever! "saying shockingly then I hug him almost making him step back "Julien! wow you look just the same as we met- wait are you cookin?" I grab his hand pulling him in "yes.. my shepherds pie just finished!" as a beep came from the oven I grab the kitchen gloves and pull out the pie placing it by the window "are you thirsty? can I get you any water or anything?" he looks around the place stopping he hesitates "just water " "we do have an old white Bordeaux-style blend" I see I've peaked his attention still unsure I sigh "I'll drink one with you " I walk over to the bookshelf and turn the Greek head to the left "woah... secret wine cellar!" Okada looks blissfully he always had a knack for puzzles or anything with layers of secrets "Don't go down there " looking down at the stairs leading to the basement i close it up we talk ate, played some good old Rummy, and then Okada had to be on his way "thank you for stopping" I sigh "You are really .. beautiful" he leans in but before our lips touch i pushed him and he fell tumbling down and falling into the river being pulled away I try to run but I'm pulled away by Victor
