Reunion

Reunion

****

Gavin had led the way, his exhaustion was evident but still, he managed to lead his friends back to the cabin. Hannah and Heather on the other hand were in a happy mood and they chattered away all the way back. It was like they were the living, breathing avatars of high spirits. Gavin couldn't understand how they could talk so much about the same thing. He had easily counted at least 6 different ways each one of the girls had recounted the exact same thing. He quickly gave up trying to follow the conversation to preserve his sanity. At last, Gavin felt a wave of relief as they finally arrived at the cabin.

****

Chloe looked out the window, hoping to see her friends come back from the ranger station any moment now. Today she had surprised Taylor by almost begging her to help her pick out something sexy for Zack. 'But practical' Taylor had insisted. She was surprised by Chloe's sudden acceptance of a change of wardrobe, and the style she wanted. And so Chloe was now wearing wearing a pair of small stretch-tight shorts 'borrowed' from Hannah that left the bottom curves of her butt hanging out and had tied off a t-shirt with a scooped neckline. This way she could show off her cleavage, her flat firm stomach, her muscular toned legs, and her firm butt.

Behind her, the boys were arguing about what to do. Kurt wanted to head out down the road and try to reach another cabin to call for help. Brandon, on the other hand, was dead set on going back to find Madison. While Zack and Peter agreed that finding their friends came first, they both argued that it was better to wait at the cabin instead of going out to find them and maybe miss crossing paths with them on the way.

Zack was insisting that Gavin could easily take them back to the ranger station and find shelter for all of them. Not to mention that they had food and that Gavin probably already made the radio work and called for help. He insisted that in all likelihood Gavin was leading them back right now if the rangers weren't picking them up. Unfortunately, Brandon and Kurt weren't convinced. Kurt because he had a very low opinion of Gavin, even if he didn't outright say it, and Brandon because he was scared and **** to make sure his sister was ok.

Chloe knew Zack was right. She didn't try to argue in his favor, everyone knew she would take his side anyway. Glancing back at the tree lines she finally saw movement. "They're here! They're here!" Chloe cried out when she spotted Gavin round the bend. "They made it back!"

****

Chloe streaked out of the cabin followed by everyone else. Reaching her friends she wrapped her arms around Gavin, hugging him tight against her breast. The soft pillowy sensation caught him off guard for an instant as he realized what they were. He had never seen Chloe so willing to show so much skin or be so open before. It made him feel a now familiar stirring in his loins and Gavin instantly felt guilty at thinking of his friend, and Zack's girl in that way. Chloe quickly switched over and hugged Meagan with the same enthusiasm. "Thank God you're all right" she repeats over and over.

Zack embraced his nerdy friend and patted him on the back "I knew you could do it!" Tired as he was Gavin still beamed at the praise. He never thought an adventure like this would ever happen outside a fantasy daydream. And least of all to someone like him.

The rest joyfully surrounded their friends with the joy of seeing them again and hammering them with questions of what had happened. Ashley and Victoria quickly surrounded Heather and Hannah and the four of them instantly started a 4-way conversation that only god knew how they could all keep track of it all at the same time.

But the expression on Meagan's face was like a cloud of doubt as she kept going back and repeating yesterday's events, last night, and this morning. She didn't know what to feel or how to feel or even if he should feel anything. She had fun with Heather when they teamed up to play Chicken Wars and then danced with her friends after. The sex had been great, and the big surprise was how Gavin's cum had tasted like divine nectar on her tongue. On top of that, Heather hadn't teased her about Gavin or even told the rest. In fact, she had even seemed more friendly today and Meagan thought Heather might have hinted that there might be a repeat in the future. And to top it all off, Gavin had bravely deflected the situation by acting as if nothing had even happened between them last night.

Everything should have been great news to her. And yet she kept coming back to the fact that she had had sex and it had involved a boy. A BOY! The most disgusting creatures on the planet! A BOY! How could she have even let herself get into that kind of situation? Her mind was a riot of conflicting emotions as she struggled to process them all at once. 'God this sucks big time!'

****

Madison and Trent had mostly been walking silently hand in hand. There was something that was hanging in the air between them. So many things they had to talk about privately. The irony was that they were probably in the most remote part of Azure Rock and still, they couldn't say anything without an ear listening.

As soon as Trent and Madison saw the worried look on Brandon's face while he charged across the ground. Fear of his reaction gripped them as they both immediately let go of their hands and braced themselves for the incoming storm that was Brandon.

"Are you ok Maddie!? Tell me what happened!? Are you hurt!? What's wrong!? Did something happen?" Were just part of the tidal wave of questions from Brandon. He didn't even give them a chance to answer before the next worried question came out of his mouth.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Zack called out to Brandon as he interposed himself between Brandon and Madison. "Calm down" he tried to say soothingly, "Take it easy."

"What do you mean take it easy!?" Brandon blurted out, "I've got to know what happened out there!"

"Look Brandon, They're okay," Zack tried to ease the mood, "Just let them come in and get something to drink and eat! Then we can all hear what happened." Zack said.

Brandon glared at Zack for a moment. Glancing over, he saw the scared and worried look on Madison's face as Chloe took her by the hand and quickly led her back to the cabin.

"But I have to know what happened!" Brandon insisted and tried to follow but Zack blocked his way.

"She's fine, Look, she's not hurt." Zack insisted, "She's probably just tired and hungry."

"Yo, Brandon," Trent stepped in to help calm down his friend. "He's right you know. Those cots we slept on weren't very comfortable and I really need a shower," Trent added as he sniffed his armpit, "I stink."

Their words rolled around in his head and Brandon reluctantly nodded as he gave in to their arguments. It made sense that they were tired, hungry, and needing a bathroom.

The teens all hurried to make their way back to the cabin. They were all in high spirits at getting together again, each one eager to hear news of the other. Above the din of all the voices, Heather's voice rang clear as she tried to send everyone to take a bath before they stank up the cabin. A bath she promised herself to be quick and without any frills to get in the first story before everyone else managed to settle in.

****

Has the teens hurried back inside Hannah took the chance to cautiously approach Taylor and Peter. She hugged Taylor and Peter, "I missed you." Hannah whispered to Taylor who hugged her back and patted Hannah on the back, "I... I'm sorry." She turned to Peter and hugged him tight. "Missed you too."

Peter hugged her back for a few moments till she eased away. "What happened out there?" Peter asked.

"Nothing," Hannah answered, "we had a great time!"

"Hannah," Taylor said, knowing her friend all too well she tried to sound stern and didn't quite make it.

"Honest," Hannah insisted mischievously, "We all had a great time." she winked and continued with a low sultry voice as they entered the cabin, "Did you two have a good time?"

Peter and Taylor rolled their eyes as they ignored her question. The three friends walked back together, Hannah in the middle, her arms linked around the other two. The Hannah they knew was back. Entering the cabin and heading to their room they found Gavin and Meagan waiting to use their shared bathroom.

Gavin was arguing that he got there first while Meagan insisted that she just had to shower first right now. Gavin was reluctantly about to give in and concede the bathroom to Meagan, resigned to wait when he saw Taylor, Peter, and Hannah approach.

Gavin hesitantly asked Taylor, "Could I use your bathroom? All the others look like they're gonna be used and ..." he hesitated for a moment, "And I really need a shower."

"Feeling a little.. dirty?" Hannah teased Gavin who blushed.

Gavin swallowed hard as he looked at Hannah and tried to put on a brave face, "Mmm, Yeah, it happens when you go camping."

"Oh, is that what they call it now? Camping?" She said with a knowing smirk.

Gavin's face went pale when her innuendo struck too close to home and he was suddenly worried that she knew about what he had done with Heather and Meagan. Meagan's face also turned pale white.

"Hannah!" Taylor hissed angrily, "What the hell!"

"Didn't you learn anything!" Peter almost growled at his ex-girlfriend.

Hannah felt her body flush like it always did every time Peter put his foot down. It almost sent a shiver up her spine. "What! I'm just teasing him. I didn't do anything with Gavin, OK!" she said defensively,

Taylor frowned at Hannah with her fist on her hips, not completely believing she hadn't done anything with Gavin.

"You got a dirty mind, you know that," Hannah pouted as she pretended to be insulted by Taylor's words.

"MPF!" Taylor frowned not buying it at all.

To the side, Peter smiled inside, careful not to show his mirth. 'Looks like things are on the mend,' he thought to himself.

"You should ask those two troublemakers," she added pointing at Meagan and Heather whose curiosity drew her closer. "I didn't touch Gavin."

"Just go take a shower," Taylor said with exasperation, unwilling to take the bait anymore.

"Yes, 'cause I'm a dirty, dirty girl," Hannah pouted again while sounding like a sultry vixen.

"In more ways than one," Taylor fumed, "Now go!" she added as she pushed Hannah into the room, "And don't use up all the water!"

"Sorry Gavin, You'll have to wait your turn," Taylor said softly and Gavin's shoulders slumped in defeat.

"Hey, Meagan! Why don't you use my bathroom upstairs?" Heather chimed in taking pity on Gavin's plight and quickly seeing an opportunity to help him along, "I can use Ashley's bath."

"Yes! Thanks!" Gavin said with incredible enthusiasm as he leaned in and quickly kissed Heather's cheek, "You're the best honey!" Before anyone could say or do anything he dashes into the bathroom but not before he shot Meagan with a raspberry as he closes the door.

****

With the girls all off to take a shower trailed by their friends the boys all found themselves waiting in the kitchen knowing they would be the last to get the news.

"How long do you think they'll take?" Brandon asked eager to know what had happened to his sister.

"Not long," Zack added, "With everyone taking a shower at the same time... that hot water's not gonna last long."

"Yep," Peter agreed, "Unless they all start to gossip in there which they probably will." he sighed in resignation.

Brandon and Zack groaned in frustration at having to wait for their girlfriends while Kurt just kicked back his chair and yelled at the ceiling "BORING!!"

*****

Madison had quickly fled from her brother and to her room upstairs with Chloe. She felt confused and scared and yet also hopeful by everything that happened. Chloe wrapped her arms around her friend and asked her, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"I... I don't know," Madison groaned in frustration as she whipped around and started pacing the room like a caged animal. "I... Why does it have to be so hard!?"

"Is it Trent?" Chloe asked tentatively. Madison paused for a moment before nodding. Chloe stood up and took her hands stopping her. "Why don't you take a hot bath? It'll help you relax and then you can tell me what happened. Maybe... Maybe I can help?"

Madison hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. She didn't know why she did or why she told Chloe. She guessed she just needed someone she could trust, someone to confide her secret, someone who would lend an ear and listen to her plight.

****

With the shower done Madison hurried to get dressed while she finished telling Chloe her story. Now they had to face their friends and see what happened. "Everything will be all right," Chloe promised trying to soothe her friend's worries, "Just stay with us." She took her hand and they both started down the stairs where they heard Brandon talking with Trent.

"Dude, I'm telling you Gavin didn't do anything." Trent insisted, "He spent the whole time with Meagan. Someone's got to tell him he's barking up the wrong tree. He ain't going nowhere with that lesbian."

"Then why is Maddie so upset?" Brandon demanded.

"I don't know," Trent insisted trying to avoid telling Brandon about him hooking up with Madison on the hike, "I was with Hannah," he added hoping to distract Brandon's attention from Madison and himself.

"Hannah?" Brandon asked dubiously.

Trent lowered his voice almost to whisper "Dude, I fucked her ass!"

"WHAT!" Brandon said loudly in surprise.

"SHH! Yeah man. Hannah." Trent hissed, finally finding a way out of the awkward conversation, "We were having fun and she begged me to fuck her ass! It was fucking incredible!"

Brandon looked at Trent with admiration, "Damm you lucky son of bitch. Ashley won't even let my finger down there! How did you pull that off?"

Chloe and Madison heard them walk off and then it finally hit them. Madison's eyes had been wide open in surprise when she heard Trent boast about Hannah. The words stung like a knife in the young girl's heart. She sank down and sat on the steps and hugged herself as she tried to hold back the tears. It happened again. All those nice words were just empty promises to get into her pants.

"Maddie?" Chloe said hesitantly as she wrapped her arms around her friend.

"It's always the same," Madison whispered in defeat "I'm never going to find someone to love me. They're all the same! All of them."

"Maddie..." Chloe tried to say but Madison didn't seem to listen.

"They only fuck me and then throw me away." Madison choked back her tears. "They're all the same."

"Don't say that Maddie," Chloe said hugging her tighter. "There a lot of good guys out there. You just need to find someone like Zack."

"But Zack's your boyfriend!" Madison groaned, "I lost my chance with Zack and now I'm never going to find someone."

Chloe was at a loss. She didn't know what to say. She remembered Hannah's words from the other day when she felt she had hurt Zack and said she couldn't be with him because Madison liked hm. She said the first thing to come to her mind was to help her friend. "We... We could share." she offered.

"What?" Madison asked in confusion.

"Share Zack. You know, like what Hannah said the other day." Chloe offered as she brushed Madison's hair back from her face. "We could... We could share Zack."

"No, we can't! We can't do that," Madison protested, "Everyone will just call me a whore like my dad thinks I am."

Chloe was at a loss. She didn't know what to say or how to ease her pain. It broke her heart to see Madison like this and she did the only thing she could think of. She kissed Madison on the cheek. A chaste and tender kiss. Just like the kiss Zack had given her when he found her after her tryst with Kurt and tried to ease her worries.

Chloe brought Madison closer to her bosom and kissed her again on the cheek. Madison looked up at Chloe with hurt and pleading eyes. Chloe leaned in closer and tenderly kissed her lips. Madison opened her eyes in wonder and Chloe gave her another soft, tender, lingering kiss on her lips again. They stared at each other for a moment. Chloe was trying to console he friend at the same time she could help noticing how soft Madison's lips were. Madison surprised by the tender, nurturing warmth she felt with Chloe. Afraid and uncertain of what was happening she turned her head away as she sank into Chloe soft busom and let her hug her.

The stomping feet of Meagan's quick footsteps down the stairs brought them out of their little world. "Didn't know you two played on my team or we'd have gotten together a lot earlier," Meagan laughed light-heartedly. "C'mon on. We don't want Brandon to see this and freak out." she added hugging both girls from behind and she stuck her head in the middle. "Your parents would send you two sinners to the farthest convent there is if they found out." Meagan winked cheerfully as she helped them both up. "And those nuns are no fun at all."

"Oh shit! Now what do I do?" Madison moaned, fearful but mostly tired of facing Brandon again.

"You," Meagan said pointing at Madison, "are going get in the kitchen and teach my girl here how to cock. Someone has to feed him if he's going to keep up with my girl." she said tilting her head at Chloe, "Unless you want to cook for him?" Meagan added with a mischievous grin.

Chloe giggled while Madison rolled her eyes at the mention of her cooking skills.

Meanwhile," Meagan said, "I'll tell Zack to keep that orc distracted."

****

Zack sensed something was wrong with Chloe and she stared at the hallway leading to the staircase. He saw a worried Chloe round the corner with an even more worried Madison in tow. The two lovers instantly caught each other eyes and Zack almost instantly knew what he had to do.

"Maddie!" Brandon called his sister as he stood up but Zack once again stopped him.

"Bran, leave her alone," Zack said as he tried to block Brandon's path.

"Get out of the way Bishop! I got to know what's wrong with Maddie," Brandon growled at Zack.

"Bran, nothing's wrong with Madison," Zack kept insisting, "It's girl stuff."

"Really?" Brandon asked suspiciously, "how do you know."

"Chloe gave me the sign," Zack said, "She always does that when, you know, its girl stuff."

"OH!" Brandon said as he suddenly stopped as if he had run into a wall. He hadn't ever considered that what was worrying Madison had nothing to do with anything or anyone else but simple... girl stuff. "Okay," Brandon said with confusion as he sat down on his chair again.

****

Most of the the teens took a quick shower except for Hannah and Heather who came out complaining about the cold water. The two cheerleaders were the last to join the rest in the kitchen. It was a chaotic scene as almost everyone seemed to be busy hustling around mixing ingredients, tossing salads, serving soft drinks, and calling out to each other as they readied lunch.

Among the chaos, Heather's quick sight caught a few subtle movements. She squinted her eyes, trying to see exactly what was off till she realized exactly what it was. Once she noticed it she waited for the moment all three of her friends were together before closing in and asking.

"Why are you three walking funny?" She whispered as her eyes darted back and forth between the three.

Taylor just huffed and mumbled something under he breath as she brushed past Heather, ignoring her question. Victoria's deep red blush almost matched Chloe's hair as she gave a tiny smile of embarrassment and glanced over at Ashley and Brandon. Chloe held herself proudly as she turned around and smiled brightly at Heather.

"Alright! What happened?" Heather insisted. "Tell me everything!"
