Lucia's POV
"Luciaaa, wake up" Ethan lightly shakes me.
"I wanna go swimming" is the first thing that comes out of my mouth.
"Okay, we can go swimming" he chuckles.
I get up, and we all start gathering our bags.
"See, the flight wasn't that bad huh" I hear Summer talk to Samantha.
"Yeah because I chewed off all my nails" she shows everyone hands.
"Maybe you should just go to sleep like Lucia did" Summer laughs.
"True, now let's hurry up and get to the house. I want to go swimming" I rush everyone to the limo waiting for us.
---
The driver pulls up to a beautiful one level home that has a pool deck. Palm trees are everywhere, and I can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
"This place is gorgeous" Summer smiles.
Everyone steps out of the car, and I thank the man who drove us. We all race to the front door, but Summer blocks the door and turns to face us.
"I already have the rooms assigned to their owner or owners, so everyone look for your name" Summer turns around and unlocks the door.
I begin walking to every door, but I can't seem to find my name.
"Summer, I can't find my name" I complain.
"It's the last door down the hall" she shouts from wherever she is.
I walk further down the hall and spot my name in bright pink letters.
As I open the door, I immediately see a big king size bed. I run and leap on the bed.
"It's nice isn't it" I hear Summer.
"Shit, you scared me" I sit up.
"I gave you the master bedroom to you. Everyone else is sharing their room" she smiles at me.
"Thank you Summer" I smile back.
"No worries. Now go get changed into your bathing suit. We're going swimming!!" Summer shouts as she runs out of my room.
---
I lay down my towel in the sand. Everyone's applying on sun screen to their skin while I'm applying sub tan lotion. I'm done with looking like a ghost during winter in New Jersey.
"Let's go in the water" Rick shouts.
"Dude, we have to let the sun screen rest on our skin for at least 15 minutes" Grayson pulls Rick back down.
"Ugh. You're acting like my mom" he rolls his eyes.
---
"Rick, if you don't stop splashing me I will smother you in your sleep" I glare at him.
"You're boring" he turns around and catches the football Grayson throws.
"No need to be so mad now" Ethan chuckles from behind me.
By now Grayson and Rick are further down the ocean from us, and Summer and Samantha are laying down on their towels.
"Yeah, you try not getting mad at your brother who is basically drowning you with his massive splashes" I roll my eyes.
"Sassy today I see" he wraps his arms around me.
I begin to breathe unevenly. Being this close to him is nerve-wracking.
"Uhh, I - I thin-" I begin to stutter, but he kisses me.
Did he just kiss me?
We pull away, and I'm left confused and scared as ever. I quickly start towards the shore with Ethan hot on my trail.
"Lucia, don't run away from me" he reaches for my hand and turns me around.
"Why would you kiss me for" I angrily ask.
"I want us to be together. Don't tell me you don't feel the same way because I know you do" he states it like it's a fact.
Rick, Grayson, Summer, and Samantha start to gather around us.
"What's going on here" Rick interruptes.
"Why would you even want to be with me" I question him.
"B-b-because.. because" he struggles to talk.
"Exactly" I turn back around towards the shore.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" I hear him shout.
Everyone gasps amongst themselves.
I turn around and begin to laugh like a true maniac. Everyone looks at me oddly.
"You love me?!" I laugh some more.
"No Ethan, you don't" I calm down my laughing.
"Yes I do. I love you, Lucia!" He takes a step closer towards me.
"No one loves me. No one can love me. You wanna know why?" I take a step closer towards him as well.
"How can someone ever love me when I can't even love myself" I whisper and walk away.
I left everyone in the ocean shocked and utterly confused. No one knows about me and Ethan being friends or whatever we are.
I may have sounded like a maniac and a bitch, but who can blame me?
After never being loved growing up, how can you believe someone when they tell you that they actually do care and love you.
Exactly.
You don't.
