"Just get a t-shirt and a pair of shorts," I winked at her, "None of us have proper swim gear." She still seemed uncomfortable. "And if you start to drown," I contemplated what to say next: I wanted to say, "I'll save you, babes." But instead I said, "Well, it's not that deep anyway."

"I don't know, I'm really not good at swimming"I replied hoping he would believe me. Even though its been so long,I still cant go near water without crying or remembering that horrible day.It took so dad to convince me that it wasn't my fault, but I could see the accusation in his eyes when ever he looked at me.

"Don't worry, hon," I winked at her, and without her being able to predict it, I knocked her legs out from under her and caught her, and began to carry her. "I won't let you drown, girl." To my surprise, she didn't argue with me about being carried. She always did the most unpredictable thing.

"I wont let you drown" He said as he literally swooped me off my feet.He began rambling on about something, but I wasn't paying much attention.I wont let you drown. The words repeated again and again in my head.I wont let you drown. Just a small sentence meaning no harm had me reliving the worst day of my life.

"You know, I've never met anyone like you before. You really... knock the breath out of me. I know you don't like flattery, I'm not that stupid, but you really are one of the most amazing girls, if you don't mind me saying." She didn't respond, and I began to internally panic. "Do you mind?" I asked after I finished talking to her about it. She looked up at me in surprise. "Huh?" She hadn't heard?? I just poured my heart out to her and she hadn't heard?

He had a hurt look on his face."Sorry I was just...distercted"I apologized. I tried to look him in the eye to see if I was forgiven, but he wouldn't return my gaze.I put both my hand on his face, forcing him to look at me. His eyes were even more hurt than before."I'm sorry"I repeated trying to find out the full extent of his pain.

She forced me to look at her, still apologizing. "Just don't," I said quietly, letting her down on her own two feet again. She didn't release my face. "Please?" "What?" "Tell me again." "I-I don't think I can. Sorry." "Oh." There was awkwardness between us for a minute, and then I couldn't take it anymore: I hugged her. I shouldn't have, but I did.

We stood there awkwardly for a moment, and then he hugged me. I was taken back but then I realized that he was upset and needed comforting. I stood there awkwardly for a moment with his arms still wrapped around me.He looked so vulnerable and upset and I felt the sudden urge to comfort him, so I returned his hug.

She hugged me back. I burried my cheek into her hair, but I knew this wouldn't last. I couldn't explain this - it was impossible. I had only just met her, but I didn't think I could live without her. This sucked. I sighed heavily, and realized how ragged my breath was. "Sorry," I mumbled stepping away from her. "That was stupid. Forget it." I began walking again, expecting her to follow.

His breath had become really ragged and I realized that he wasn't the only one. "Forget it"He said as he walked away. I stood there for a moment gathering my thoughts. He looked back at, curious to why I wasn't following.He took a step toward me."I'm so sorry are you OK?"He asked. I smiled"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"I asked.

I looked at the ground and chewed the inside of my cheek awkwardly. "I'm being far too forward..." I was ashamed of myself. I shouldn't push her this way. What if she didn't like me at all? What if she pitied me?! I dreaded that.

I smiled"Tell me something"I began"Which would you prefer, someone who is forward and direct or someone who beats about the bush"I asked unsure of the answer.He didn't answer I guess he was unsure of the answer."Consider this"I continued"Sometimes when you beat about the bush, your question never gets answered."I smiled weakly.

I laughed weakly at that. Incredible, absolutely remarkable... Why did it have to be this girl that was so different? Why couldn't it be a girl I knew I could have? Elaina was the one I wanted, and also the one I knew I could never have. I cursed the tattoo on my wrist. Well, not the tattoo but what it stood for. We'd have a meeting tonight. I was dreading it. I glanced at Will long enough to see her looking bitterly at me: I knew that she wasn't looking forward to the meeting either. She didn't want to be a part of us. I didn't blame her, but since Avril was forcing it on her she couldn't object.

He laughed weakly at that. I noticed that he didn't seem to into the conversation."You OK?"I asked."Mm. Why?"He replied nervously. "Your mind just seems to be somewhere else.I don't know. Its none of my business anyway.Forget I said anything"I muttered embarrassed at my ramblings.
