Leah: "ugh you're so annoying"
I just smiled.
Elena: "Yeah, come on, we have to go"
The day went by quickly.
Everyone else is in the whirlpool except me and Leah, we're just sitting on the edge.
Beth: "Come in"
Elena: "Much more pleasant up here"
Beth: "Come on"
Elena: "nah-"
Georgia: "I'm going out, I'm hungry"
It quickly became empty and only me, Leah, Beth and Keira were in there.
Beth: "Have you ever checked out Sarina's daughter? You would definitely be a good match"
Elena: "yeah, she's nice"
Beth:,,nice? she is hot"
Elena: "Your opinion...besides, I'm not dating my trainer's daughter"
I saw Leah give Keira the death stare.
Beth: "I trust you with anything"
I just laughed.
Beth: "Come in Leah"
Leah: "nahhh"
Beth filled Leah with water.
I love how she immediately blushes because the make-up is now gone.
Beth: "No way..."
Keira just looked at me and smiled.
Beth: "Who?"
Leah: "What who?"
Beth: "Who gave you the hickey?"
Beth: "please tell me you didn't have sex at camp"
She looked at me
Elena: "Mate no. I'm done with Leah. We're good mates, right?"
I looked at her.
I could see her eyes screaming.
Leah:,,.......right"
Elena: "fine, look"
I looked at Keira and she just shook her head.
I gave her the 'what?' Look.
Beth: "Look who's coming"
I just felt a hand on my shoulder.
I turned around and saw Haydn.
Elena: "Hey"
Haydn: "Hey, do you have a second"
Elena: "yeah for sure"
I got up and walked with her to a corner.
Elena: "So what's so important?"
Haydn: "Tonight at 10 for a walk?"
Elena: "I'm there"
Haydn: "I'll see you then"
Elena: "right"
I smiled and went back.
Beth: "Mate, you can tell me what you want, you guys have something"
Elena: "No, man. absolutely friends"
Beth: "Then what did she want?"
Elena: "Just hanging out later"
Beth: "Your chance"
Elena: "I don't want her"
Beth: "Get to know her seriously"
Elena:,,no...no, I don't want to we are good friends"
Beth: "Friends with benefits?"
Elena: "That's another idea"
Beth: "But you like her"
Elena: "no"
Beth: "Okay, okay, stop distracting me, you had sex yesterday."
Leah: "no"
Elena: "Nope"
Beth: "Then explain to me how this can happen"
Elena: "I'm leaving"
Leah held my hand and pulled me back.
Leah: "No chance"
Beth: "So it was Elena"
Elena: "why me? Leah could've Sex with anyone Here at Camp"
Beth: "good point"
Elena: "If I may apologize...I'm leaving now"
Beth: "ugghh to Haydn"
Elena: "Maybe..."
Beth: "lovergirl era finally over, thank God"
I just smiled at Beth and then left.
And you know what... Beth is right.
I don't feel like waiting forever for anyone anymore.
Leah is over, I don't feel like it anymore.
Okay no....no I still love her but she obviously doesn't.
For her I'm probably just a way to pass the time so that it doesn't get boring so I can use my time more sensibly.
Elena: "Hey"
Haydn: "Hey, it's only 9"
Elena: "Yeah, I know"
she laughed
Haydn: "I take that as 'I want to do something with you'"
Elena: "yeah... you can"
Haydn: "I take that as a compliment"
I just laughed.
Haydn: "What do you want to do"
Elena: "Would you like to take a walk?"
Haydn: "always"
We walked and laughed a lot.
she is really a great person
Somehow we came to the topic of love.
Haydn: "So you and Leah dated"
Elena: "No, we were official"
Haydn: "Were?"
Elena: "Now we are something like a situationship with a past"
Haydn: "You can see that you still love each other"
Elena: "I honestly don't know... it feels like I'm a toy for her that she only uses when she has the time and wants to."
Haydn: "You might think that...but what if she thinks the same about you?"
Elena: "Then it would be a lie...she knows that I love her more than myself"
Haydn: "Elena if I can give you one piece of advice it is to be honest with yourself...even if its the truth.....the truth can hurt."
Elena: "Sounds like experience"
Haydn: "God yes"
Elena: "Tell me about it"
Haydn: "To be honest, she reminds me a lot of you"
Elena: "Really?"
Haydn: "yeah"
Elena: "What was she like?"
Haydn: "God, she was selfless, funny but serious at the same time"
Elena: "Why did you break up?"
Haydn: "kind of the same thing with you and Leah...we didn't fall out of love...at least I didn't"
Elena: "So you still love her?"
Haydn: "No...not like back then...but I will always have a weak point for her"
Elena: "yeah, I understand that"
Haydn: "Do you still love Leah...or just the feeling of what it was like to love her?"
Elena: "bro......that was deep"
Haydn: "tell me"
Elena: "...I don't know...both"
Haydn: "Tell her...now"
Elena: "I can't"
Haydn: "You're afraid of being replaced"
Elena: "Maybe"
Haydn: "You can't influence her love...if she loves you she won't replace you"
Elena: "What if she doesn't feel the same way I do?"
Haydn: "What if she does? Even if it's not Elena...then you have a reason to let go."
Elena: "It's always on and off"
Haydn: "Just because a light bulb is empty... you change it and don't buy a new lamp, right?"
Elena: "right"
Haydn: "Tell her"
Elena:,,.......thank you"
Haydn: "Go ahead"
Elena: "right"
We went in and I knocked on our room.
Nobody opened the door for me.
I knocked again.
Nobody opened the door.
I called Beth.
It sounded like they were in a club or something.
Elena: "Hey...do you know where Leah is?"
Beth: "with me"
Elena: "and where are you"
Beth: "The club right next to camp"
Elena: "Mate, what are you doing?"
Beth: "chill"
Elena: "I'm coming"
Beth: "not a good idea"
Elena: "Why?"
Beth: "Leah"
Elena: "How much did she drink?"
Beth: "Elena... nothing... that's it"
Elena: "Then why shouldn't I come?"
Beth: "mate-"
Elena: "See you soon"
I hung up and drove to the club.
What the hell is wrong?
I walked in and saw Beth, Kei and G at the bar.
Elena: "Where's Leah?"
Keira: "Why?"
Elena: "I have to talk to her"
Keira: "She's here"
She pointed her finger at the dance floor.
She kissed a stranger.
Elena: "Okay, wow"
Keira: "Sorry, mate"
Elena: "nah its fine"
Keira: "What did you want to talk to her about?"
Elena: ".....it's cleared up"
I said smiling.
G: "Do you need a group hug?"
Elena: "No"
Beth: "Do you want some water?"
Elena: "No, I'll just go back..."
G: "You don't have to"
Elena: "I can leave my car for you so you don't have to walk to the camp"
Beth: "Yeah, that would be nice"
Elena: "bye"
Keira: "I'm coming with you"
I just nodded and walked out.
We walked home in silence.
I had to cope with that a bit first.
Keira: "It's my fault. I said she should let go and get involved with someone new."
Elena: "What?"
Keira: "The thing with Leah"
Elena: "nah its fine"
Keira: "No it's not...I know what you wanted"
Elena: "It's time to let go...that's love"
