"What's wrong?" Crawford asks as we walk away from Hayes

"I've just, haven't had a uh- very good time since I've been here" I say looking down. Of course I haven't had a good time. I've ruined everything since I've been here. My chance of being with Hayes again, having a good relationship with the guys, I just ruin everything. Just thinking about the past 2 days make my heart ache

"Well, I'll try to make it better" he says. I smile and look down, glancing at our hands, swinging in sinc. I watch them swing till Crawford's hand brushes mine. I smile to myself, probably looking like an idiot

I look ahead of us and we find a spot. He sets his towel next to mine and we both slip off our shoes and set the rest of our things down. I untie my cover up and slid it down my arms. I pick it up off the ground and set it on the chair

"Aren't you gonna take off the bracelets?" Crawford asks. I look up and I swear my heart stopped beating

"Uh, N-no" I clear my throat still looking at the shirtless Crawford "No" I say and quickly walk to Mahogany

"Hey" she says smiling

"I can't do this" I say quickly

"What do you mean? The bracelets work right?" she says a bit quieter

"Crawford asked about them..." I trail off. I replay the memory of our hands almost touching. I bet he doesn't even like me, he's too perfect

"I'm sure he's just making sure you're okay" she said

"You sure?" I ask

"Positive" she smiles. I give her a hug and walk back to Crawford who is already in the pool

"You okay?" he asks once he sees me. I nod and just jump in. I don't care about this anymore. Hayes has had his chance on me, he just. Wasn't quick enough. I don't want this to sound like I'm playing with him but, I'm just tired of everything. I kick my feet and breath for air, once my head is out of the water.

"Hi" he smiles

"Hi" I return

We stand in the water with the awkward silence until one of us breaks the silence

"So you're in Magcon?" he asks

"Yeah, I guess" I say looking down

"What do you like, do? What did you do to get in" he asked

"I do YouTube videos and a little bit of vine" I say. He smirks

"What?" I ask smiling

"Wanna make a vine? On both of our accounts?" he asks. I nodd my head rapidly

"Okay okay" he says laughing. We both get out of the pool and go to our spot. We put on our sandals and dry off our hands before grabbing our phones

"You wanna go first?" I ask

"Sure" he says smiling

"Okay, any ideas?" I say

"Lets do like, okay" he pause "it starts off where were talking on the edge of the pool, and it's like you say wanna go see a movie? and I say sure and I say something like which one. And you don't answer. I ask again and you still don't look up from your phone. You have a water proof case right?" he asks

"It's a life proof case but yeah, it's water proof" I say

"Okay because I was just gonna push you in the water at the end" he says flately

"Well then" I say lauging

"Wanna do it?" ge asks anxiously

"Sure" I laugh

We get his brother, Chris to take the camera and take the video. Me and Crawford stand at the edge of the pool and I get my phone out and pretend I'm on it

"Hey you wanna go see a movie?" I ask without looking up from the phone

"Sure, what movie?" he asks. I don't answer

"What movie?" he asks a bit louder. I still don't answer

I see him throw his hands in the air and eventually, feel him push my shoulders back, and I fall in the pool. I start to laugh and swim up for air. When I pop my head up, Crawfords already on his phone, it's pointed at me but he's hovering over me, so I don't mind much to it. My phone buzzes, giving me the notification that Crawford posted the vine. I click on it and watch our silliness, captioned We all have that one friend I copy the link amd tweet it

@xEmmax: Go Check Out @CrawfordCollins New Vine! I'm In It Go Comment Your Twitter Or Instagram Names And We'll Follow You!!!

I put the link in the tweet and tweet it out

"Your turn now" Crawford said. I click on my vine and have it open. I click on record

"7 Secondsssss go!" I yell facing it towards me and Crawford. He looks around and I'm still looking in the camera until I see him lean in, and kiss my cheek
