Earlier...
Daniel POV
"Stay in contact with me and your dad. Please wear sunscreen too." Mom said. I groaned. Jack chuckled. "Mom we're going camping, not the beach." I said. Yup we are going camping in the woods with the others. I grappled my bags filled with food and water and sleeping bag. Bella came downstairs with the same bags as well. She smiled. "This is going to be lit! Outside camping, we eat s'mores and tell scary stories!" She said. I chuckled. "You just wanna do scary stories and s'mores." I said. She laughed and nodded. Surprisingly, Isabel walked downstairs with a camping bag too. Mom looked at her. "You going with them Isabel?" She asked. "Not really. I'll be camping at the Maroon 5 concert outside with Samantha, Natalie and Tiffany." She said. Bella's jaw dropped. "For real? Maroon 5?!" She said. Isabel chuckled. "Yes I have a ticket." She said. "Make sure to stay together and DO NOT talk to strangers." Dad said. She playfully rolled her eyes. "Ok dad chill." She said. We heard a car honk. It was Deana's car with Lexi inside. "That's us!" I said. Mom hugged me and Bella. "Alright be safe. Call me once you leave." She said. Bella nodded. We left the house and waved to Deana and Lexi. We got inside the car and she drove off. She parked near the road where we saw a big cabin. I could tell the others were inside because of their cars parked together. We got out and smiled. I really hope Bredia's there. Yes, we're official. I wanted to keep it a secret so Bella won't scream. We each grabbed our bags and went inside. I was right. All of them were here. They looked at us with smiles. I gave the guys some dap and made eye contact with Bredia. She smiled. I returned the gesture. Bella hugged her and Sela. "HEY!" Matt yelled. We stopped talking and looked at him. "Are we having barbecue or just s'mores?" He asked. Some of us laughed. "You know? Its our family's tradition to do barbecue and bless our food outside the house whenever we have our aunts and uncles over." Bella said. I smirked. "Its also true who gets the first bite's got grace." I said. They laughed a bit. Grant smiled. "Actually, we can have both. A grill isn't in my trunk for nothing." He said. Everybody and Bella cheered. She always been a food person. We began settling our stuff and I help Grant prepare the grill. 
Later, we sat on two logs outside the cabin laughing and eating. I smirked. "Grant, you are the man!" I said. He chuckled and high five me. The chicken was so damn good. Bella and Bredia baked the s'mores and I didn't know Bredia could bake so well. "How'd you like the s'mores?" She asked. I smiled. "Delicious. You're a great chef." I said. She chuckled. "You didn't know I'm in cooking class?" She said. I shrugged. "Nope. Sorry." I said. She laughed which made me laugh. Bella and Justin were talking and being lovey dovey. Are they finally together? What? Bella looked at me and smiled nervously. I smirked. "I didn't know Jella's official." I said. She growled. "Now's not the time Daniel." She said. I chuckled. "Awww! You are?" Ashlynn asked. She giggled and clutched Justin's arm. "Congrats! Jella has sailed!" Lexi said. I playfully rolled my eyes. They chuckled. Rafe whispered in Deana's ear. She smiled and nodded. She got up from the log. "Guys, we're going to relax in the cabin." She said. Matt nodded. "Alrighty then." He said. They walked off, holding hands. Deana's in a love triangle with Grant and Rafe. Its been going on since we were 12. So we're all used to either Grant kissing her or Rafe kissing her. Matt groaned. "Ugh I want more chicken." He said. Grant and I chuckled. "Dude you had 3." He said. Lexi laughed. "I admit Knoche, it was the best grilled chicken ever." She said. We nodded in agreement. 
8 hours later...
Bella POV
I laid my head on Justin's shoulder. He kissed my forehead. "What do you love about Malibu?" He asked. I smiled. "Everything. The beach, the nature, and the ocean." I said. "So basically the nature?" He said. I nodded. He smiled. "I love nature as well. Its very peaceful." He said. I smirked lustfully. "I'll also wear my swimsuit." I whispered in his ear. He smirked. "The woods is where it gets dirty." He whispered. I giggled. He kissed my lips. I looked and noticed Deana and Rafe gone. Where did they go? "Guys!" I said. They threw their attention at me.
"Where's Deana and Rafe?" I asked. Daniel looked confused. "They just told us they're in the cabin. Didn't you heard?" He said. I shrugged. I was paying attention to Justin I didn't notice Deana talking. "Least I know." I said. He rolled his eyes.
"That's weird. Its been 8 hours they should've been out now." Ashlynn said. What? I checked my phone time. It has been 8 hours. "You're right. What are they doing?" I said. Grant groaned. "I'll go check." He said and left. Justin held my hand. "I'm sure they're ok." He said. I scoffed. "The cabin's close here so I'm not worried. I'm happy my mom's not blowing up my phone right now." I said. He slightly chuckled. Grant's been looking for Deana and Rafe in the cabin for a while. I'm finally starting to get worried. The others too. "They're gone!" He yelled, running back here. We immediately got up from the logs. "What?!" Lexi said. "Deana called me and said they wandered off into the woods and now they don't know where they are!" He said. "Why the hell would they- in their minds why?" I managed to say. Seriously, why would Deana and Rafe wander off and they have no sense of direction? "We have to go find them!" Bredia said. Find them? I hoped she meant call the police. "Find them? Ourselves? No! I'm not risking getting lost!" I said. They looked at me. I smiled nervously. "I mean us getting lost." I said. "We can't leave them out there Bella! We have to search for them." Lexi said. Grant nodded. "For that to happen, we need to split up. Two people or whatever." He said. Lexi huffed. "Why do I think this had to be Rafe's idea?" She asked. I smirked. "Yeah well when we find them, its Rafe's fault." I said. They chatted in agreement. Justin's arm wrapped around my waist. "I'll go with you." He said. I blushed but tried to hide it. I walked up to Daniel. "I dear hope mom and dad won't blow up our cells asking if anything's OK." I said, yelling out the last part. He sighed. "Hopefully." He said. "Keep your phones on and call if you found them." Grant said. I nodded and grabbed Justin's hand. I saw Bredia go with Daniel. I smirked before leaving with Justin. Surprisingly, the woods have trails. Ashlynn and Sela went to search Trail Peach Purple, Grant, Matt and Lexi are searching Trail Guma Green, Bredia and Daniel's searching Trail Hot Red, me and Justin are now in...Trail Sun Yellow. I know its not a good time but who named these trails?! We were walking and yelling out their names. No answer back. "Can't believe we had to take trails with weird names." I said. He smiled. "We should've took Trail Peach Purple. That's my favorite color." He said. I chuckled. "I know McCann. Do you know my color?" I said. He smirked. "Hot red?" He said. I laughed. "Yup. To me you're hot purple." I said.
This flirting made us stop walking. We kissed passionately. I wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands on my waist. We made out for a little while. We parted and kept on looking for them. Its kinda good to have trails cause we won't easily get lost. We could just search this side and leave. "You sure we shouldn't tell your parents?" Justin asked. I nodded my head no. "This is a simple problem we can fix. Deana and Rafe are in one trail we're trying to find. And we will find that trail." I said. He smiled. "I like it when you're tough." He said. I smirked and played with his hair. "Careful what you say." I teased. He smiled innocently. We continued calling their names and searching for them. 
Daniel POV
"Deana! Rafe!" I called out. No answer back. "Where are you?!" Bredia yelled. I huffed. "This is stupid! Real stupid of Rafe to do this crap." I said. "I know. But I really hope they're ok. This is the woods. Bears also live here." She said. I smiled and wrapped my arm around her waist. "I'll keep you safe." I said. She blushed and laid her head on my shoulder. Its cute when she blush. We walked passed a couple of trees and through the small bridge over the lake. We laughed and talked. I know we are supposed to be finding them but we're finally alone. Just us. Nobody else. She stopped me. I looked at her. "What?" I said. "These trails go by all the colors right?" She said. I nodded. "So if Ash and Sela is in trail purple, Grant and Lexi is in trail Green, Justin and Bella are in trail yellow and we're in trail red, are there trails orange and blue?" She said. My jaw dropped. I smiled. "Yes! There has to be!" I said. She cheered. "Lets go!" She said. I pulled out my phone and called Bella. "Yeah?" She said. "Bella, go find a trail that involves the color blue! And me and Bredia will search trail orange. That's the only trails we haven't looked." I said. "Which means they must be...." She trailed off. "In one of those trails!" We both said. "Ok see you!" She said. I hung up. I smiled. "Cmon lets find trail orange." I said. She returned the gesture and clutched my arm as we left Trail Hot Red.
Bella POV 
Daniel said Deana and Rafe might be in trail blue or trail orange. Me and Justin left Trail Yellow and found Trail Honda Blue. Weird name but moving on. I took a deep breath. "They better be here." I said. He nodded. "Lets go." He said. My phone buzzed with a text. It was Mom asking if we're ok. I don't know if we will if Deana and Rafe aren't in these trails. I texted back saying we're fine. We walked in the trail and same as usual. Trees and beautiful gardens.  We walked over a small bridge. "Deana!" I yelled. "Rafe!" Justin yelled. "Deana!" I called out. "Justin?! Bella?!" I heard from a far. "Deana?! Where are you?" I yelled. "We're over here!" She yelled from the left side. Me and Justin ran to the left side and kept pushing trees out of our way. We kept running till finally we found them near the lake. Deana had Rafe's jacket wrapped around her. Shit they must've been cold. They smiled. "Yess thank you!" Deana said. I hugged her and she hugged back. Justin gave Rafe some dap. Then he slapped the back of his head. He growled. "The fuck was that for?" He asked. I fake smiled. "For getting you and your girlfriend lost." I said. He huffed. "I didn't know we were gonna get lost." He said. Deana breathed a breath of relief. "I'm just happy we could go now." She said. We left the trail and Justin told Grant we found them.
We were back to the campsite but inside the cabin. We each were in our sleeping bags, laughing and talking. I was in mine's with Justin. We kissed passionately. Matt groaned. "We get it guys you're in love." He said. I chuckled. "Do you guys remember its duet week? We each gotta do duets. I already partnered up with Bella." Bredia said. Ashlynn smiled. "My idea is we girls partner up as a 6-member group." She said. I smiled and nodded. "I like it!" I said. "Me too!" Lexi said. Grant fake pouted. "What about us?" He asked, referring to the guys. I scoffed. "Oh I'm sure you can pull a one direction medley." I joked. We all laughed. They frowned. My phone buzzed. It was Isabel. I answered. "Yo?" I said. "Hey Bels, mom and dad wanted to know if you guys are ok...since you texted instead of calling her." She said. I sighed. "Yes Izzy we're good. There was a little situation but everything's great." I said. "K see you tomorrow." She said. "You too." I said. I hung up. I saw Bredia and Daniel be lovey dovey with each other. They're not good at lying. I smiled. They always been right for each other. Daniel gave me the 'ok I admit we're official' look. "I could say this has been a fun camping trip although we had to find a lost couple." Sela said. We laughed and agreed.
