after that we laid our towels down, and we put our sunscreen on. all the guys went in the water, and we just laid out to let the sunscreen dry.
"so dev, what are you gonna do for pat's birthday next week?" alyssa asked me.
"i got him plain white tee's tickets. i'm going to take him to dinner and then surprise him with them." i said.
"awh that's so cute. and i heard how he asked you to homecoming." alyssa squeaked.
"yea. i wasn't expecting it. he asked me when we first started going out, but i thought it still applied. i'm not used to being treated like this. he cares so much."
"well, last time you were treated like this was with dalton." she reminded me. i sat up from laying on my back to see her laying on her back right next to me. i just glared at her. she looked at me through her sunglasses.
"what?"
"we don't like to talk about him." blake answered for me.
"about who?" came a voice i would know anywhere.
"pat doesn't like to either." i whispered. "no one." i called out. he came down and sat next to me on my towel. his hair was all shaken out. i ruffled it a little.
"does the water feel good?" i asked.
"amazing." he said. our eyes locked for a moment, and i couldn't release the hold he had. "you should come in." he suggested.
"really? i think i might. i'm getting really hot." i said. "you guys wanna come?" i offered.
"no thanks."
"nah, you two go have fun." blake said. she smiled, as pat helped me up and we walked toward the ocean.
"dev, can i ask you a question without you getting mad?" he asked
"of course, i wouldn't get mad. shoot."
"blake still watches everything i do. everything. why? i mean what's her deal? does she like me? like did i do anything wrong?" he asked, and he went off. i stopped at the water line.
"no." i said, shaking my head. "it's not what you did. it's not what you did at all." i began.
"then why?" he asked.
"well, i've just had a history of getting my heart broken, i guess. and she just feels like she needs to protect me from that. because i can't count how many times i've shown up on her doorstep, crying." i said, and looked away.
"devon. you know i will never hurt you. i swear." he said.
"i know. she's just paranoid. because with dalton, " i studdered his name out. "i was horrible. i stayed at her house for days, just crying. it was the worst pain she's seen me in." i said, i looked at him, and he looked away. he looked pained from thinking about it.
"but it's okay, let's go in the water." i said, and pulled at his hand. i reached my foot out to take a step, and as soon as my foot hit the ground, i collapsed, and everything went black.
