Summer Love

Prologue:

I sprinted out of my cabin, frantically searching for her. She hadn't left already, had she? I was extremely frustrated that the girls cabins were across the woods, but right now that didn't matter, I had to get to her before she left forever. I ran as fast as I possibly could through the woods and right up to her cabin. Bursting through the door I felt a sign of relief when I found her packing her bags.

"Josselyn?" I whispered, standing in the doorway, panting. Lucky for me, her cabin counselor and her roommates were out at the moment. Maybe falling in love with one of the campers at camp wasn't my smartest idea but I wouldn't do anything different. Josselyn is one of the best things that ever happened to me, even if I'm 16 and she's 15. Josselyn didn't answer me and just continued to fold her clothes. "Come on Jo, just talk to me." I tried taking a step closer to her. I heard her sniffle and she looked down at the shirt she had in her hands. I watched as she slowly set her shirt in her suitcase and turned around. She kept her head down making some of her beautiful brown hair fall into her mesmerizing auburn eyes.

"I thought we already said our goodbyes." She choked through her tears. My heart sank seeing her cry. She hadn't cried the whole Summer which was impressive compared to all the other girls. Seeing her cry made me feel like someone was ripping my heart out of my chest and puncturing my lungs at the same time. I walked to her and wrapped my beautiful, sobbing, girl in my arms.

"But I don't want to say goodbye." I whispered as she cried into my shoulder. I felt myself tearing up as her shoulders constructed and she began to cry even harder. I scooped her up in my arms and continued to sit down on the floor, against the bed with her on my lap.

"B-but we have to. You don't live around me and I don't live around you." She cried. She was 100% right. Josselyn and I lived on opposite sides of the country and if it wasn't for this job at this silly summer camp I would've never met the girl of my dreams. But now the Summer's over and sadly we must part our separate ways, I just never thought I'd be so attached to her. Me, the biggest ladies man in high school is attached to a good girl he met just a few months before.

"We can skype and I'll call you everyday, and we can text. And I'll write you-"

"Michael, long distance never works. The calls will go from every day to once a week and then to once a month, until we lose contact. It never works out." She interrupted me. The tears I had been holding back finally trickled down my tanned cheeks.

"But-" My voice cracked as more tears fell. "I-I love you." I finished. Josselyn quickly jumped out of my arms and faced me. She wiped her eyes and replied,

"No you don't Michael. You just think you do." She muttered.

"I know you love me back Jo, I can see it in your eyes."

"All girls think they're in love with the guy who took their virginity." She said. I could tell that she didn't mean what she was saying by the way she wouldn't look me in the eyes. Whenever Josselyn was lying she couldn't look you in the eyes. It was one of the many things I learned about her this Summer. I was standing too now and I lifted up her chin so she'd look at my eyes.

"Do you love me like I love you?" I whispered starring intently at her. Without hesitation she responded,

"Yes I do." And that's when I kissed her. It wasn't the huge dramatic kiss that you see everyone do in the movies, actually it was hardly a kiss at all. I barely placed my lips on hers but it was enough for that tingly feeling to shoot through my body. It felt like we were having our first kiss all over again, as it did every time we kissed.

"But it won't work out." She whispered against my lips. I pulled a few inches back and gazed into her sad eyes.

"I don't want to say goodbye." I repeated as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Just never forget me" Josselyn replied as she took off her favorite bracelet I gave her at the beginning of camp and tied it around my wrist. It had been mine but she drew all over it with cute red hearts.

"I could never forget you Jo. You're the best thing that ever happened to me." I responded as tears streamed down both of our cheeks.

"Thank you for the best Summer of my life. I will never forget you Michael." Jo whispered. I kissed her one last time and the sparks shot through my body. When we parted I whispered,

"Goodbye Josselyn."

"Goodbye Michael." And with that I backed out of the cabin knowing I will never feel the same way with anyone, as I did with her.
