A. 14th: When I was finally brought back to reality, I saw everyone gathered around me, my friends, other leaders, people I had never seen before. What was so important about me that they all come to watch me wake up? Alex was the first one I saw... Of course...
     I asked him what had happened and he told me that they thought I had passed out, but the camp nurses thought I was dead. That would explain the empty world...
     He hugged me, told me he was glad I was alive, then kissed me... In front of everyone... I heard people gasping then like a cannon had just gone off, there was a loud wave of noise from everyone clapping. 
     Washington must have heard it because he entered our tent and called out, "Okay everyone time to get back out there! In honor of John, I will shorten today!" There were more cheers and everyone piled out of our tent, leaving just Alex, Herc, and I.
     I slowly sat up, hearing Herc ask Alex, "So are you gonna ask him? Are ya? Are ya?!" Laf walked in, probably after hearing Herc, and joined in. 
"Ask him! Ask him! Ask him!"
     At this point, I was even more confused than I had been waking up to people I had never seen.
     To make matters even 'better', Washington walked in and joined them as well. At this point, it was just a loud cluster of words along the lines of "You gotta ask him eventually, when is it? now? do it!"
     I looked over at Alex, who was blushing and looking around the room like he was unable to focus on a certain thing. He looked back down at me, his hands fidgeting, and asked, "Will- umm...- will you.. be- my... uh... boyfriend?" He had a fear in his eyes like he had done something wrong and like he thought I was going to say no. I stared him in the eyes, which probably made him more scared, and pulled him in, saying "of course," and I kissed him back.
     I was too caught up in the moment to recognize the voice, but I heard someone say "I'll leave you to it," and everyone left, leaving just us two in the tent, again.
     I can't believe Alex is my boyfriend. I think I dreamed of this more than fifty times, and now it is really happening.

A. 15th: Yesterday went by so quickly after what happened, but this morning at breakfast was when everything set in. There were so many people coming up to us I lost count. They wanted to congratulate us, but I didn't think it would end up this big.
     Washington ended up cancelling all exercises today, which could have given me so much time to catch up on my work, however, Alex wanted to head to the park with me. I brought my work along, but he stole it from me when we got there after seeing I had it. He started running away, flipping through all my work. I didn't think much of it at first but I realized I had love letters I wrote him that I wasn't planning on giving to him in there. 
     I quickly ran after him, calling out for him to please stop. I told him I'd do anything if he just gave me the papers back. He stopped and turned to me, holding a paper in his hand, and said, "I'll give you these if you explain this." He started waving the paper and I automatically noticed the color pen it was written in. My first thought was 'CRAP! THAT'S ONE OF THE LETTERS!'
     I sprinted at him and dived at his hand, hoping to grab the letter. He quickly pulled it away and I dived into the ground. I looked up at him and started to get up, but he put his foot on my stomach to hold me down and started reading the letter out loud.
     My life is so ruined...
