Lost in the Bushes

It was a Saturday that me and my friends went on a picnic for our Reunion. Over slept and was rushing for breakfast. I was afraid that my parents would cancel my going because it was already late, almost 10 o'clock. Getting my things ready, my phone rang. "We are outside your house, come out,' the phone caller said. I looked outside my window and I saw my friends waiting in the car. I hurriedly pack my things and said good bye to my parents.
On our way, we encountered a traffic. There were two cars that bumped into each other so we had to wait for signals from the police officers for us to pass. It took us half an hour to pass. Deeply inhaling from the long wait, I got out a bottle of water and drank. We drove off and stopped at a grocery store. We went into the grocery store and bought some vegetables and fruits to add to our lunch. When we reached our picnic place, I got out of the car and looked for woods to start the fire. I went into the bushed and looked for woods. I was by myself. With all the woods I was holding, I didn't know where I was heading. I became scared. I shouted for help but nobody came. I was really far from where we left off.
I looked at my watch to check the time and it was 3 in the afternoon. I forgot that my cell phone was inside my pocket. Waited and waited but no refuge. It was already dark when I was touching and smelling my clothes if they smelled bad for staying up long under the sun that I felt something in my pocket. I slowly put my hand into my pocket and slowly pulled up the thing inside it. It was my cell phone. I thanked God I had something to call for help from. When I looked at my phone, its battery almost die so I hurriedly called my friends. Maybe because I was staying in the woods, signal wasn't really cooperating. But, I tried and tried. Finally, my friends understood what were I saying. After few minutes, they showed up. I cried when I saw them. They were crying with me too. "We didn't cook our food for we were searching for you" one of them said. "What happened to you?" another one said. I didn't really answer them for I was crying too hard.
They took me into the car and we left. On our way, I asked them not to say anything about my disappearing. If my parents knew, they wouldn't let me go out with them again. It was nice of them the didn't say anything. This is why it is important to have friends. They are there for you 24/7.
