“I’m fine, Trent. I can walk by myself.” Lydia said, gaining enough composure back not to stumble as she walked a few steps towards camp.

Blair walks off without a word as Lex tries to figure out how to make the asshole, not the villain.

Trenton walked at her side, still seething with a mix of anger and fear. “Are you alright? Did he harm you?” He asked, his voice quavering slightly.

“I don’t remember a thing after you said my name. And I’m fine.”

“I apologize for abandoning you. I shouldn’t have made you go, I knew he was unstable. I fear I may have been too harsh and acted rashly just now, but you must understand the situation at hand was rather terrifying.” Trenton rambled, speaking quickly to keep up with his rapid heartbeat.

“Hey, it’s okay. You’re alright, I’m alright.” Lydia said soothingly.

“I should’ve stopped him. I could have, and yet I did nothing.” Trenton shook his head, starting to calm down.

“It’s fine. Let’s go back to camp.”

Trenton did not think this was fine, but shut his mouth anyways, his eyes focused on his feet. “You are certain that you do not wish to be carried?” He asked softly, his voice hardly above a whisper.

“I’m alright.” Lydia said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Trent visibly flinched when her hand made contact, but otherwise didn’t say a word. He kept his eyes glued to the ground as they walked.

Lydia noticed him flinch but didn’t say anything. They reached the edge of the forest, and she asked, “Where to?”

“You need rest.” Trenton lifted his head, his muscles still tense.

“I’m alright, Trent. Where to?” Lydia repeated(I keep almost writing my name instead of Lydia, and I don’t know why.)

Trent shrugged, looking deflated. He pretty much had the fight taken out of him after the day’s events.

(Lmao the story is too real)

“Back to the beach? One of our cabins? Dining pavilion?”

“Perhaps we should part ways.” Trenton looked at his feet, shifting his weight nervously. “I’m afraid I’ve put you in harm’s way multiple times today, which is unacceptable behavior on my part.” The boy sounded almost like he was reading a script based on the way he talked. He’d clearly said the second half of that sentence many times before.

“Hey, you didn’t do anything wrong….” Lydia was starting to wonder if she was right in what she thought about Trent. “I’m not going to leave you alone.”

Trenton took a deep breath before promptly clearing his throat. He opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again. “I suppose I will just follow your lead.”

“Come on.” Lydia lead him to her cabin, opening the door. Her siblings tended to stay out of the cabin late, and she could lock the door behind her. She nodded to her bed, gesturing for him to sit.

Trenton sat down stiffly, taking in his surroundings.

Lydia sat down on her brother’s bed, so that she was facing Trent, after locking the door behind her.

Trenton’s head immediately snapped up after he heard the lock click, tensing up considerably. His eyes flashed between Lydia and the door several times before he shifted his gaze to the windows, counting available exits.

“You’re safe.” Lydia said quietly.

“For what reason did you lock the door?” Trenton asked quietly, eyeing the door again. “That’s a potential fire hazard.” He mumbled.
