"Guess what we're doing this weekend!!!" CeCe exclaimed in a sing songy voice as she glided over to my place on her floor. "What?" I asked, looking up at her. "Well, everybody is going camping at Lone Star Bay!!!" She squealed excitedly. "Oookay...but yay!!! So, everyone in our group is going?" I said. "Yup!!! I can't WAIT!!!" CeCe squealed once again, jumping up and down.
Later that night, we were snuggled together and i was just about to pass out when CeCe sleepily said: "Julian loves you, ya know. Mabye it's time to move on..." then her snoring ended her sentence. I thought for a second and considered her statement. Mabye i should move on. Aaron would want that, i think. I thought, just before drifting into a dreamless sleep.

It was finally the weekend, the weekend of camping at Lone Star Bay. "Alrighty girls. You ready to camp?" Nick asked, grinning. "Yes!" CeCe, Cassie and i yelled. "Okay, but there's no outlet for your straighteners." Marco joked. "OH SHUT UP!!!" Cassie yelled. CeCe started batting Marco's head, him doubling over in laughter.
One hour later, the seven of us had arrived and set up camp and everything on the beach before running into the water to cool off. The water felt cool and nice compared to the 100 degree weather.
Later on, Will and Mitch cooked Shish Kebabs while Marco, Julian CeCe and Nick gathered wood for the fire. Cassie and i were setting up the picnic table when i felt something crawl up my shoulder. Thinking it was a spider, i screamed and started jumping up and down, swatting my shoulder to try to get the spider off.
When i thought that i got it off, i heard loud laughter behind me. I turned around to see Julian with a leaf in his hand, and him laughing his head off. He saw my face and laughed harder, stepping back and tripping over a log, then falling on his butt. I couldn't hold in the laughter and started laughing so hard, that tears came to my eyes, immediately forgetting what Julian did.

Finally, the sun sunk behind the horizon and let the moon take its shift. Will and Cassie had turned on thier car's radio and Julian and I could hear it all the way from the shore of Lone Star Bay. We were standing in the ankle deep water with Julian standing behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist. "You have a good time today?" Julian asked in a teasing tone. "Well, I quite enjoyed the leaf-feeling-like-a-spider joke." I said, while playfully smacking Julian's arm. He chuckled and wrapped his arms tighter around my waist.
We stood in the water, looking at the moon's reflection ripple on the water's surface. Then I turned around and looked straight into Julian's eyes. "I love you Seqouia." Julian said. "I love you too, Julian Alan Sanders. Undoubtedly, utterly and unconditionally in love with you. I love you. And I always will." Julian smiled.
Out of the corner of my eye, i saw Aaron standing on the dock. He nodded his head at me and smiled sadly just before he dissapeared. I had a feeling that i wouldn't be seeing him again. "I love you Aaron." I whispered into the music filled air.
I turned back to Julian and How We Love by Ingrid Michaelson came on. We started slow dancing to the music, my arms wrapped around his neck, with my chin resting on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around my waist. We continued to do that for a few moments untill the song ended. The song "Kiss Me" came on by Ed Sheeran, and i looked up into Julian's emerald green eyes. I uttered two words.
"Kiss Me."
