Hey guys! Sorry iv been gone for some time. I cant believe people are actually reading my story so ive decided to try to continue with it. Thanks for your support guys!!

On top is Kobe! Sorry, i couldnt find any better Kobes coz they were either too old or too young or just too serious.

Kobe opens the sliding glass and there it is- a gigantic pool. As soon asKobe and i walk through the door all the attention is on us. Except for liam, who at this point, unsurprisingly stares at me. This time his look is intense. I feel self conscious because i never liked showing off my legs or any skin for that matter. I attempt to cover my bare legs once again. As i walk to the side where there are chairs i am intercepted by a girl a little older than me. She is extremely pretty with a bright smile. She has light brown hair, unlike my red hair, and has deep blue eyes.

"Hi! Im Hazel, Kobe's girlfriend."

"Hi, i didnt know that Kobe had a irlfriend. But then again, ive only been here for a day. How long have you guys been together?"

"2 years. Dont believe a word he says because he was the on his knees begging for me."

She tells me the story of how they first met and what happened then. It turned out that Hazel met Kobe at school when they bumped into each other in the hallway. 'But dont be fooled', she warned because she didnt mean the cute way where there both on there knees with paper everywhere. She talks about how he was a cocky man whore who thought dating girls was a game.

Hazel was about to pass Kobe in the hallway when Kobe grabbed Hazel and tried to seduce her into being his girlfriend. Hazel was disgusted by guys like him so she rejected Kobe, leaving him shocked in the hallway. This was the first time that any girl told him no so Kobe was determined to get her to say yes. Somwhere on the way, they both fell for each other.

"Hey! Are you gonna get in the water or what?!", yelled Kobe and Liam in unsion.

"No!", this time it was Hazels and my turn to yell in unison.

Because they're both little children, Kobe and Liam start splashing us with a great amount of water. Hazel and i both squeal and hop out of their path.

While Hazel and i continue our conversation, Liam gets out of the pool somwhere in the middle. After a while, i get up to get some water but in order to do that you'll have to pass the pool. In the middle of passing the pool, i feel something grab my waste and tackle me into the pool with a huge splash

I submerge from the water and suck in a deep breath. I hear laughter coming from everywhere and open my eyes to find my suspect. The first thing that my eyes meet when i open them are captivating blue/green ones. For a second i forget my surroundings and can only focus on our close proximity and his goofy smile. I focus on his fingers still hugging my waist where my shirt rode up a bit and he has direct contact with my skin.

Then, i acknowledge the laughter and claps once again. I playfully shove Liam off of me and splash him, pretending to be angry. He splashes me in responce and now were having a war. This time it doesnt just include Liam and me but also everyone around.

6 hours later, i am seated at the dinner table. After all those fun hours under the sun, we got cleaned up and shortly after, Claire arrived with bags of school supplies. We, now, all sit around the table, including Hazel because she was part of the family since 2 years ago.

Across the table, Liam sat intenltly watching me once again. Every once in a while, i catch him staring at me but shy away almost immediately. After that, i would look back again and he'd still be staring at me but with a smirk and maybe even a chuckle here and then. I was always curious to why he would continually do this with no mercy or shame.

Tears rolled down my cheeks and chin as i examined the picture frame of when we were a perfect family. I was only 12 at the time, before we found out about the cancer. Everything fell apart almost immediately after we did. 'Its gonna be okay' is the only thing i heard everyday after that. It wounded me when i watched my mother suffer for that long. But it felt like someone was adding vinegar and salt to my raw wounds when she stopped suffering. And "it felt" turned into real life when my father broke down. When all this hell let loose, i was unsteady and eventually fell into this bottomless pit.

It seemed to be the only thing that embraced me at the moment so i let it carry me away. But i stopped falling when Claire came and rescued me from the dark.
