**Bella's point of view**

I wake up to my phone buzzing, very loudly, I might add. I reach over to the table where it sits and see that it's Rowan. I pick up the phone before it can go to voicemail.

"Hey, Ro, I was sleeping, and I'd like to get back to it, if you don't mind," I say grumpily. 

"Well, I'm gonna miss you too, you little ball of happy morning sunshine!" she says sarcastically. "I wanted to say goodbye, 'cause, you know, I'm leaving for a whole week today!" Right! I totally forgot about that. Then I look at the clock.

"What kind of family leaves for a trip at five in the morning?" I ask

"A cheap one," she says, laughing, "the cheapest flight we could get departes at 6:30, so, actually, I'm in the airport, bored out of my mind," she says, sighing. 

"Alright, Ro, well, have fun, and the week will be over before you know it, and then we can start our amazing summer!" i say, smiling just thinking about it. 

"Yeah!" she says. I know her so well that I can hear her smiling on the other end. "And I can teach you some of my tricks with guys! We can finally get boyfriends this summer, Bells! It'll be great!" she says excitedly. Suddenly, everything that happened yesterday came flooding back to me. Royal. His jet-black hair, his unusual yet beautiful eyes, his sloppy grin, his deep, sexy voice. Snap out of it, Bella,  I think to myself, he probably has a girlfriend, and he certainly wouldn't like a girl like you. I realize that Rowan is talking to me. "Alright, Bells, spill. I know you well enough to know that you were just thinking about someone. You stayed silent for a good five minutes, and I could practically hear you smiling. Who is he?" she asks. I know that I can't tell her anything yet, mainly because there isn't anything to tell. I'm meeting him this morning on the beach, and I can somehow feel that he is still there, exactly where he was yesterday. I can go see him whenever I wanted, and, of course, that was now.

"No one, Ro. I'll tell you when you get back. I gotta go! Have fun, love you!" I say, jumping out of bed. I put on jeans, a teal blue tank top, and a white hoodie, and run downstairs. I see that my dad is already up.

"Hey, Bells," he says as i kiss him on the cheek. "I have to go soon, and I see that you are going somewhere," he says. 

"Yeah, I'm going to the beach. I just need to think for a while," I lie. I feel bad about lying to my dad, but he would kill me if he found out that I was meeting a guy who I didn't even know. I'll introduce him to Royal when he get back. Hopefully.

"Okay, well, I'll call you tomorrow, " he says. I hug him goodbye, then walk out the door. I sprint down the beach. I can still see him. He is at the same spot where he was yesterday. I decided to go without shoes, (they bug me) so I have fun walking in the waves. It's about six a.m, so the tide is low. The beach is so quiet right now, with a soft, summer wind blowing through my long, yet slightly messy hair (I only had time to brush it a little bit, so it's messy). I don't want to give Royal the impression that I'm trying too hard. I continue to walk down the beach, and I reach him. I sit down next to him, just like I did yesterday, except a little closer. I know that he knows I'm there. We sit in silence for a while, but it's not awkward. After a while, he looks at me. I still look out to sea, but I can feel those turquoise eyes looking at me with wonder. I look at him, too. He smiles that lopsided grin, and I can't help but grin back. Finally, I say, "Did you just sit here all night?" even though I know the answer. I could...feel his presence there. I can't explain it. I could just feel it. It was kind of like a pulse.
