Ruel wasn't actually in the floor last night, I wouldn't dare do that to him. Although when I wake up he's not beside me, I hear the shower running from the bathroom. I check the time and then get up opening the big doors in our room that over look the huge back garden.

"There you are you small dickhead!" Kade yells from the pool throwing Sab in the water.

"I just woke up don't start" I yell walking over to the four of them.

"Where's the Van Dick?" Josh asks and I snort at his takes on Ruels last name.

"He's in the shower" I shrug sitting down beside Evan.

"And you aren't gonna join him, poor boy" Josh jokes with his heart over his chest.

I shake my head as I make my way towards the kitchen of the house we rented out. On the drive up here Ruel made me stop at Long Reef so we could go for a dip, and in his words he wanted to get dippy? Something about a behind the scenes of one of his old music videos in a bathtub. I don't know, sometimes I have no idea what he's doing or talking about.

I'm throw over someone's shoulder as I'm about to start cutting up my fruit. Ruel heads outside with me throw over his shoulder and in the pool. I would be mad but the water is refreshingly cold against the hot sun and the water is like a clean of my soul.

I surface the water and push my hair back from my face. I swim to the edge and pull myself out, before I can even get out Ruel runs away. Even though I have no chance of catching him I chase after him anyway, he's stood at the end of the garden looking out onto the beach as I near him.

"If you hug me I'm gonna be annoyed" he warns me as I stand behind him.

"Please, just one hug?" I pout as he turns round.

He shakes his head at me like I'm a naughty child. I open my arms and wrap them round his torso wetting his clean shirt, despite saying he would be annoyed he wraps his arms around me. I look up at him and he's already smiling down at me, I think he's a little annoyed at Ayrton for say that he wasn't invited when Ruel told him why he wasn't.

"Ruel" I hum quietly against his chest and I feel him look down at me.

"I think I like you the most" I tell him and I look up at him.

"I'm first place?" He asks me smiling.

"Always" I tell him.

He leans down and presses his lip against mine before pulling away. He turns away from me and looks out onto the beach again, I would wrap my arms round him but I can't see anything. I stand beside him and he looks over at me, it's strange little words need to be said between the two of us.

"Beau?" He asks nervously and I look over at him.

"I erm" he starts nervously, he blows out a sigh and looks away.

"I'm falling in love with you" he whispers quietly.

He has his eyes closed and the wind is blowing his hair gently. He opens his eyes and looks over at me, his eyes are filled with worry and I would mess with him right now. He looks too vulnerable.

"I'm falling in love with you too" I tell him gently and he smiles.

"You're sure right, your not just saying that to make me feel better?" He asks and I laugh at him.

"I promise I'm sure" I telling wrapping my arms round his neck.

He scoops me into his arms and carries me back up the garden to everyone else. We were supposed to go out and do something today, but we are all young and in love. So we hang around by the pool and have a barbecue. When night rolls round it feels like the closing of a chapter and the start of a new one, like everything old is flourishing into the new.

Like everything penance is past.
