There I sat in the coffee shop on the top level of the ship, it's rustic charm enchanting a piece of me. I stared at the mahogany table, tracing small circles while I held onto the warmth of the coffee cup I had ordered. My eyes wandered off over out the window, the sea casting their waves and the sun beaming it's rays. This feeling of pain grew in my chest as the seconds ticked away. It was time. It was time to say goodbye. Nothing is permanent, is it?

"Hi babe." The once soothing voice called out, as the sound of the chair from across was pulled out.

"Good morning Kendall." I responded, looking into her eyes now.

"You look hot today. Anyway, you never responded to my text about going out ton-" She rambled on.

"I need you to stop." I placed my free hand on my knee, mindlessly tapping yet again.

"Stop what babe?" Kendall innocently asked.

"Stop acting like I still love you?! Like nothing ever happened!" I burst out, standing up as anger rose in my voice.

I felt the room staring at me now, my forehead beaded with drops of sweat. The room felt hotter than ever.

"Baby, I don't know wh-" She began again.

"I don't love you." I choked out, accidently whacking the coffee cup onto the floor, where it's contains spilled out across the floor.

"We can talk about this somewhere else Y/N, calm down. Let's fix this. Let's fix us." I began to feel very frail at the sight of Kendall forming tears, her eyes begging for a chance.

"There was never an us."

And with that, I had left. Ignoring the tears, ignoring the weird looks I received as I brushed past all who were in my way, and ignoring the trashy pop music that was blaring throughout the ship. Yet, I couldn't ignore the pain that was not in my chest, but in my heart.

"Photograph" by Ed Sheeran played through my earbuds, it's chord bouncing up and down as I jogged on one of the treadmills in the fitness room. The way the long white chord constantly bounced irritated me for some reason. So instead of keeping half of my arms up next to my sides, I held onto the white chord. Only until, I was interrupted by a finger that pressed the Stop button.

I pulled on my right earbud, and turned to the figure next to me.

"What's up Milz?" Shawn smiled, resting his elbow at the hand rest of the treadmill with his chin in his hand.

"Shawn, what are you doing here?" I smiled back.

"I was looking for you. You left this backstage last time we performed together." Shawn dangled the white polaroid camera from his index finger, swishing it side to side.

Now I took out my left earbud, placing the headphones into my adidas skin tight black leggings. Sweat trailed down my chest, arms, practically everywhere. I felt disgusting but very proud of all the energy I worked off at the same time. My hair was tied back into a ponytail, although some of my baby hairs stuck to my forehead. It had seemed like I saw Shawn's eyes gaze across my pink sports bra, but I wasn't sure so I pressed the topic away. Shawn would never like me, pfft.

"Alright. Well. I'll see you around Milz." Shawn waved off, but only to stop a few steps ahead.

"Oh, I saw Y/N in the basketball courts up there earlier. You miiiight want to check on her." His back still facing to me, began walking out.

I chuckled at his kindness, stepping off of the treadmill. There was no way I was going to see Y/N all gross and sweaty, so I walked over into the bathroom and splashed some water on my face. Quite refreshing might I add. Ignoring the others in the room, I patted down all my sweat with one of the hand towels the bathroom provided. Gripping the edges of the sink, I took a good look at myself in the mirror.

"Maybe if I..." I thought, slipping my black hairband out of my ponytail. I let my hair travel to my back, fixing it in a few minutes.

I nodded to myself after being satisfied with my look.

"Well lookie lookie here. Seems to me I found a wild Y/N here." And already, a huge grin broke out on my face without realizing it.

Y/N turned around, her hair blowing ever so slightly in the wind. The empty basketball court was chilly, but it didn't matter. I was with her, and her only.

"Cam- ow!" Y/N started before the ball she had thrown earlier rebounded and hit her on the side of her face. I bit my lip to stop me from laughing as I walked over and encased her in a gentle hug.

Oddly, Y/N didn't hug me back. Standing frozen, I decided to let go. It wasn't before long till we were seated at the edge of the court on the only bench there, overlooking out everywhere on the ship as the basketball courts were the second highest place on the ship.

"What exactly are we?" Y/N asked, slightly pouting.

I glanced at Y/N, she was still looking out on the ship, steadily focusing on one place.

"We're human beings Y/N." I joked, but apparently it wasn't funny to Y/N. This meant she was serious, and fear began surging through me. A fear that I was going to lose Y/N yet another time.

"Well... we're not friends. We're not partners." I responded.

"So you're experimenting with me?" Y/N questioned, playing with the fingers on her hand.

"What? No! No, Y/N. I'm absolutely positive I am one hundred percent in-" I began.

"In love? Then why didn't you tell the truth in your interview at Ensenada? That you were 'in love' with me, a girl?" Y/N air quoted, there was no anger in her voice. Just pure curiosity.

"I was foolish. I wasn't sure then, but I am now. I'm utterly foolishly ridiculously in love with Y/N, Y/L/N." It was a reflex, putting my arm around Y/N, letting her head rest on my shoulder while I rested my head on her's.

"I ended it with Kendall."

"Is that so?"

"Mhm." Y/N gently nodded her head, wrapping both of her arms around my chest like she was hugging a pillow.

I sat straight up now, as Y/N did the same. I turned to look at her in the eyes and made her do the same. Inching myself towards her, our foreheads touched. Holding her right cheek with my right hand, our soft gazes met each other. The whole world seemed to stop in this moment, as if nothing ever mattered till now.

"Always,"

"And forever."
