your determination was like no other. and you were gonna prove that to travis, no matter what it took.

after the crash, you slowly became the closest person to him. he was still closed off, but if he were to want to talk to anyone, it would be you.

the first time he told you anything in the wilderness, you had asked him why he never had a proper girlfriend. partially because you wanted to be the first, but also because you were curious.

he hesitantly answered, telling you about the time he realized his parents weren’t in love — and how he never believed in it because of that.

god, how you wanted to change his mind. you did everything in your will to show him how deeply you cared for him.

you gave him half of your food, knowing you wouldn’t likely finish it anyways. you were constantly offering to do his chores for him if he was exhausted, even if you were too.

and just the cherry on top, you were the only person who believed that javi was still alive after his disappearance, despite not truly knowing a thing.

you went with him everyday, even in the snow, just to help him look as natalie hunted. every single day.

you plant a small handmade flag that you had made from one of your shirts. another thing you had sacrificed for travis’s sake.

just as a way to see where you had already looked. you fall into a pace beside him, was wanting to strike up a conversation but not knowing how.
