"The prettiest girls shine the brightest in the dark."

Only later on that day. After finishing to take a shower, Angelina went out of her bedroom, to spend the rest of her evening with her friends, and Steve.

The weather was a typical summer night weather, hot and sweaty. but she covered herself with a jacket and a scarf because even when it was hot, the ocean's wind was everywhere.

The house was quite, not a movement outside except the sounds of the wind and ocean. Angelina opened the front door, hurrying to close it after her started to run down to the beach, that was only under the house. She felt the hot sand on her bare feet and her scarf was flying around her in the wind.

As she got closer to the beach, she spotted a fire, with everyone sitting around her and as she got closer she could also hear the familiar sounds of Eddie guitar and Robin's singing voice.

She ran down to them, smiling. The song got familiar. Eddie was singing dramatically and playing the basic chorus on the guitar. Vickie Robin and Steve, who set infront of him on the blankets, were singing along. Angie couldn't help but smile at their view.

She went behind Eddie, giving him a soft kiss on the top of his head, he looked up to her and smiled. She set besides him, smiling at Robin and Vickie, their bodies hugged over each other as she joined in on the singing.

'When the broken hearted People living in the world agree. There will be an answer. Let it be'

They all sang, voiced mixed in together with laughter. No matter how hard it was, as he was sitting right in front of her. Angelina tried her best to keep her eyes away from Steve, as she promised herself she wouldn't let him ruin her summer vacation.

'There is still a change that they will see, there will be an answer, let it beee'

For a split second, Angelina's eyes caught Steve's. To see he was already looking at her back. The group around them kept singing, but both Angelina and Steve's voice went down as their glances caught each other. The moment was not even a minute, when their eyes were set on each other. But it felt like much more.

'Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom,
Let it be.'

Angelina backed into reality, clapping as Eddie put the guitar down. Steve stopped looking at her as well, coughing as his attention went back to Vickie and Robin, laughing at something they said.

Eddie bent down, taking the joint that was hanged on his ear and lit it in the fire, taking a puff as he threw his head back in enjoyment, making Angelina smile. "Still on that Munson?" She asked, pointing her eyes at the joint.

"Never stopped" he grinned, as he took another puff then passed it over to Angie, who happily took it from him, taking a long puff herself before letting out a cough.

"For how long haven't you smoked?" Eddie asked, laughing at her.

"Last time was with you" she smiled. Eddie shook his head in disappointment.

"Becoming a good college girl aren't you?" He joked. Angie rolled her eyes at him before getting up and moving over to sit next to Robin, Eddie laughing behind her.

Angie passed the joint on to Robin, who took it from her hands. "Hey Buckley. Careful with that" Eddie called over to Robin, who raised her middle finger at him before taking another hit off the joint, and then passing it on to Vickie, who skipped and passed it to Steve.
