Earlier that night

Tom's pov

"Just talk to her" Bill says. "I know she will understand" he adds.
"It's not the same" I say. He glares at me. "No of course it's not" he starts saying as if it was my own fault. And it was.
"But you doing nothing and crying over her trying to let her go won't do shit" he says. This was genuinely the first time I have seen him this way. "Especially when she doesn't want to let you go" he adds.

Bill takes a deep breath in. Letting out.

"Tom I get that it is hard. Trust me I was there and I have seen it all.... but think about her, how she has been." He says.

"I did. Every fucking minute I did" I snap back. "Then don't be a baby and go" "Go if you love her" he tells me.

I automatically turn my head in her direction, walking to her, taking her hand.

"Tom what are you doing?"

Present

"I think I should go" I say to her while my hands are still around her body. She knew I has to leave. Being around alcohol and possibly drugs would not have been the best right now.

"I will come with then" she says hopefully. "No, Ela this is your night" I say. "You have to be here and enjoy" I say. "I can't keep you from that" I add. "But I want to" she says. "Ela..." I start. She pulls her hands over my mouth. "You can't tell me what to do" she smiles.

I really did want for her to enjoy the party but at the same time I was too selfish when it came to her.

Timeskip

"So where exactly are we going?" She asks holding my hand. "I don't know" "but I don't want to go home" I say. Her eyes lit up. "I know" she says smiling.

Half a hour later

"No" I say. "Come on" she says. "No Ela we are not doing this" I say as I try to pull her away from the clif. "Don't be a baby" she says. "Ela it's dangerous" I say. "A little adrenaline can't hurt" she says looking at me with puppy eyes. "Fuck" I groan. "I hate when you do this" I say. "Learned from the best" she says jokingly. I scoff.

"Ready?" She asks. "No" I say back. "Alright" "one, two, three..."

I hear her scream and then splash.

I emerge on the surface I start laughing. "This was the first and the last time we did this" I say scratching my eyes from the salt water. Then I open my eyes and realise she isn't near. "Ela" I call out. Nothing. "ELA" I scream. "Fuck" "fuck "FUCK" I immediately start to dive in, looking for her.

Moments later there is a splash. I turn around and see her smiling wildly at me.

"ELA" I yell at her. "Fuck" "you can't do that to me" I sigh. She starts laughing. "I'm sorry" she laughs out. "That's not fucking funny Ela" I say annoyed. "But it is" she says back. She swims closer to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. As she tries to kiss me I turn my head. "Oh come on" she giggles. "You can't stay mad too long" she says. And she is right. I quietly chuckle while I turn my head to her. And kiss her. "What do you do to me" I say smiling.
