Two unhappy pasts.One summer.One fatal love.

One day someone told me"appreciate the ones you have because perhaps they are not longer here the next day".
we are sitting on the sand with the sun bathing us.You are stroking my hair,gently so as not to hurt me...and I am gazing at the endless blue.
Your soft touch that I always loved,disappears and I look up in confusion.You are still here,I breathe out in relief.But why are you leaving without me?
Guilt clouds your face,but why?The waves grow larger and stronger but that doesn't stop you from going towards them.
I cry out for you,I told you I was scared,and for a second I thought you are going to come back to me.But you only smiled,and then you disappeared.You disappeared into the waves like you never existed.
The sunlight danced on my skin and I never looked away from the ocean.Because the ocean reminded me of you and I would drown myself to be close with you.
I place my pen down,closing my diary with a big sigh.My head was still dizzy but everything was fine,thank goodness.From what I was informed,Cyrus found me,brought me back and called a doctor.I was really grateful for this because I didn't want to spent a minute in the hospital.
Bailey sighs in my lap and I stroke his head lovingly.This dog was the best thing that happened to me this past few years.
"There's a box here."Cyrus appeared,carrying a huge box with god knows what."Did you order something dirty?"He smirks.
I groan,completely ignoring him.
"It has a note."He trails off.
"It says 'you owe me a book.' "
I scoff. Realisation hits me.
Who the hell does he think he is.Cyrus moves to the floor,making Bailey move from his position to my lap.
"Throw it."I say.
He shakes his head while opening the damn box.I'm so tired to even care about a box that came out of nowhere.
"Would you really like that?They are books here."
I open my eyes,getting my senses back.I kneel down to the floor,hitting his shoulder with mine.
"What?no..."
This moron.He thought with a massive box of books that I should point out,I wanted to get,would make up for his absence.
Cyrus raises his eyebrow,trying to get me to talk.He starts smirking.
"I mean why should we waste paper,it's unfair for the environment."
"Yeah yeah."He laughs.
His irony stopped my movements and I take my moment to glare him.
I push him away,taking a better look at the books but couldn't stop my mind from drifting off yesterday's events.
God no.He left,i can't feel this way for him.I close my eyes,digging my fingers into my skin.
"Are you sure its not for another reason?Perhaps you have a little crush..."Cyrus paused,looking confused.He came by my side and shook my arm."I'm sorry,is everything okay?"
"no I'm sorry,I'm just a little dizzy from the fall."He didn't believe me.However he didn't push it.
"when did you start to like him anyway?Last time i checked you hated him"I say.
"I didnt hate him.Well a little bit.But Liliya listen,there're a lot you don't know,please just give him some time."
"Oh,so he really is in mafia..."I whisper more to myself than him.
"what?"He shakes his head,
I wave him off.I stretch my legs out,feeling the hard material of the carpet underneath.
We spent a couple more minutes looking through the books until we both got tired.
We both sit in silence,a silence that I always found comforting with Cyrus.I place my head on his shoulder and he hugs me tightly.
"Lils,I didn't save you."
I look up in confusion,asking who saved me then,but with no response.He only shook his head."I'm sorry but I can't tell you,not me at least."

Summer so far has been awful.
Mrs. Daisy was waiting for me as always at the entrance of the shop with a smile plastered on her lips.She was much better than the last time I visited. We sat all afternoon together to tell our news at the outside table with a vase of fresh flowers.
After I bid her goodbye,I started my walk in the city,without a care in the world.I stopped by Cyrus' bakery to get my usual coffee.There mrs Johnson welcomed me with a tight hug.After I got my order,I left to sit on my favorite bench to see the ocean and read my book.
With my coffee in hand,I crossed the town.I sit and a sigh of relief escapes me.I open my book to the page I read last.I was so invested in this storyline that I haven't put down this book since I picked it up.
A well known smell fills my nostrils.He sat beside me and even without him speaking I knew who he was.
I don't look up from my book."Did you find me?"I ask out loud,even though I knew it.He doesn't answer,he remains silent.But I feel his gaze on the side of my face.I look up and I face him for the first time today."Yes."
I smile sweetly."I thought I would never see you again."
"Do you want to see me again."He asks.
"Yes."I answer simply and clearly.I wanted to see him again.He was strangely interesting to me.I have never met someone like him. The boys in town were carefree, immature and outgoing. They only cared about the next party.And you are gonna say what else should they care for.But I wasn't interested in anything like that.
He awakened feelings and desires that I have never felt before for anyone.
"Follow me."
