Somebody pushes someone to the pool, and everyone ends with the same fate. Liam accidentally pushed somebody, and then that somebody pushed Ethan, and he pushed me, and I pushed Tanya, and so it goes.

My pretty brown boots end badly wet in this story.

Keanna is looking at me from the edge of the pool, smirking. I don't want her to get wet, as she looks happy in her dress and straight hair, all way dry.

She points to a table with snacks far from the pool and walks toward there, making me go with her. When I get out of the pool, I feel my clothes heavier, and I know that my hair must look weird.

I end up besides Keanna, grabbing some chips from a plate and dipping them in green Mexican salsa.

"Enjoying the party?" I ask after I swallow the chip.
"Yes," she replies, laughing. "When did you planned this?"
"Madison called me, and I of course wanted your birthday to be special," I say, "though I know it's not your birthday."
"I wish... that you could be here by then," she whispers.
"We haven't talked about that, right?" I ask, looking at how her eyes were looking at everything but me, sadly. I sigh and sweetly hug her, though I try not to make her get wet because of my clothes. "Hey, don't turn your smile upside down. We'll make it out."
"I know, I'll just miss you..."
"Shh," I whisper. "Leave that speech for Sunday, okay?"
"Alright," she says, laughing again.
"We can talk about this later, but now, let's celebrate," I say.
"Don't you want to change clothes, first?" she asks, giggling.
"I almost forgot it," I say, laughing as we separate from our hug. I grab her wrist and make her run with me back to the hotel.
"Slow your pace," she says, laughing. "I almost hitted somebody!"

I slow down and she walks normally. We walk up the stairs, go to the hotel room, slide my card in the lock of the door and then enter. We walk onto the bedroom and I put my suitcase in one of the beds, searching for what to wear. Keanna stands beside me and looks at some shirts I haven't wore.

"What about this gray one with... those dark blue jeans and..." she thinks, grabbing the clothes she mentions.
"The blue shirt?" I ask.
"Yes," she says, smiley. She hands me the stack of clothes and I go to the bathroom to dress.

When I get out a few minutes later, Keanna is staring at the view from the window. The music from the party can be heard. As well, the Coconut Island can be appreciated within the color changing sky. I smirk as she haven't noticed I am out and hug her, this time dry. She jumps, surpised, and laughs as she turns to hug me back.

"You are being so charming today, Harry," she says, making me to blush. We end our hug and she frowns, looking at something from my suitcase. She grabs it and stares at it. "What's this?"
"My... diary," I say. She looks at me with widened eyes and leaves it back in the suitcase.
"Sorry, I was just curious."
"Don't worry," I say, smiling.
"What could Harry Styles hide in that diary?" she asks to herself, raising an eyebrow.
"I have many secrets Keanna," I say, smiling.
"Like that... you are a killer?" she asks, rolling her eyes and laughing.
"You could never know," I say with widened eyes. We both laugh and get closer to each other, making our lips end up together in a kiss.

I end up getting ready by placing again the flower necklace Keanna gave me and we get back to the party. We end up splitting and I see Alex standing far from the people dancing. He's drinking soda from a red plastic cup and watching the ground boringly.

"Hey," I wave to him.
"Hello Harry," he replies, looking at me smiley.
"Why don't you dance?" I ask.
"Dancing is not my thing," he says.
"Mine neither, believe me," I say, rolling my eyes. He laughs and takes another sip from his cup.
"Harry!" somebody shouts from behind me. I turn and see a guy from Keanna's classroom smiling to me. "Keanna is searching for you!"

There have not been more than 5 minutes since we were together, ¿and she is searching for me? I laugh and look at Alex.

"I gotta go," I say, smiling. Then I notice how his face has changed rapidly. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yes, don't worry," he stutters. I pat his back, smiling.
"Enjoy the party!"

I search for Keanna, moving in between people, and find her with other friends grabbing random accessories for taking pictures in a photo booth. She smiles, excited, and takes a shiny green hat from a table. She walks towards me and puts it in my head.

Malia and Madison get out of the photo booth laughing and Keanna pulls me inside it once she grabs some giant sunglasses. We sit and look at the camera.

She seems more excited than before. I think she forgot the topic about me going from here in two days. Honestly, I don't even know what I will do.

I know that we can talk through Messenger, and by making Skype calls, maybe even by Snapchat. But anyways, I'll miss her, and it will surely hurt like hell.

"Make a pose," Keanna says, making me to forget what I was thinking because of her smile. I make a funny pose and she laughs instead of posing, too. Then we stick out our tongues and make signs with our hands, and then we simply smile, and then we kiss.

I put my arm around her waist and we get out, ready to see our pictures, but somebody is already looking at them.

Alex stands beside the photo booth, staring at the pictures with a frown in his face.

"What..." I start and Alex looks up from the pictures.
"Cody?" Keanna asks with a surprised and angry look.
"You know... each other?" I ask, confused. "Wait, Cody?"

Keanna takes the pictures from Alex angrily and I realize that something is very wrong. Then I remember why the name of "Cody" is familiar to me. Keanna mentioned a guy named like that who did something bad to her and her friends. He will not stay here longer.

"He's Cody?" I ask to Keanna, and she nods.
"Cody Alexander," she whispers.
"Keanna, you never let me explain..." Cody starts.
"It's to late for apologizing," Keanna says. I grab her hand and she looks at me.
"Calm down, I'll take care of this," I whisper to her. Then I take a step closer to Cody and frown. "What happened between you and her?"
"I..." Cody starts.
"I need to know for solving this in a calmed way," I say raising an eyebrow.
"When we were having a date, she had an attack and..."
"He left me, without help, and then I went directly to the hospital because luckily a woman found me, almost not breathing."

I close my eyes hardly as I hear Keanna stuttering.

"I didn't know what to do, I am sorry," Cody says with pleading eyes.
"When happened this?" I ask.
"Three years ago," Cody whispers.
"Three fucking years, man? And you never apologized to her?" I ask, shaking my head while laughing angrily.
"If you could only care about this, Cody, I would forgive you," Keanna says, now calmed.
"Cody, or Alex, whatsoever," I say, "please go and let us enjoy the party. I know that you can still try and make her forgive you, if you care. If you not, stay hidden like the last three years."

Cody whispers again he is sorry and walks away. I take a big breathe and turn to see Keanna.

"What the hell?" she asks to herself, laughing. Though, she's still nervous and angry.
"Let's forget about it, completely," I say, sighing. "Life in Hawaii is pretty dramatic, huh?"
"You guess it," she says, hugging me.
"What happened with Alex in here?" Niall asks, coming toward us with Louis.
"We'll not talk to him again," I say, smiling. Niall frowns and nods, understanding that he wasn't a good friend.
"But party must continue. Harry, let's take some pictures with Niall and Louis in the photo booth, shall we?"
"Of course we shall," I say, smiling. The boys laugh and grab accesories from the table and we enter the booth.

I like how brave and strong Keanna is.

I mean, it could be the end of the world and still, she would smile because of all the positive things.

I love that.
I love her.

I am the author of this story and I want to cry.

Thanks for reading, I LOVE YOU BAES.
