I was enjoying a nice sandwich for lunch when I surprised by a knock at the door. I headed to the door wondering who would be knocking, normally Mel would just come on in. I was pleasantly surprised however when I saw Jc standing in my door way. His sunglasses shading his face, showing his brilliant smile.

"Hey!" he said reaching out, planting a kiss on my cheek. "What are you doing?"

"Just having some lunch, what's up?" I said motioning for him to come inside.

"I kind of wanted to take you to the beach today, would you be up for it?" he said stepping inside.

"The beach!" I exclaimed, I had never been to the ocean before and I wanted nothing more than to runaway with him.

"Yeah! Ya know the place with sand and water and the pier?" he said sarcastically.

"I'd love to!" I said picking up my phone letting Mel know to get ready to follow us. After our heart to hears I didn't want to upset him in any way.

"Alright, I'm gonna run and get some gas," he laughed heading out the door. "I'll be right back!"

My phone immediately blew up with texts from Mel expressing his hatred for the beach idea. However I ignored them, he could follow and he would follow. I knew how to play it safe and I knew that there was nothing more in the world that I wanted to do than go to the beach with Jc today. I changed into my bikini, through a loose fitting tee shirt and shorts over top. I was tying my vans when Jc knocked at the door again. "Come in!" I hollered from the sofa.

"Hey, I filled up the tank. Are you ready to go?" he smiled. I threw on my sunglasses and headed toward him grabbing his hand.

"Let's go!" I smiled, butterflies filled my stomach. I had never been so excited and in love with an adventure before.

The car ride was calming, though it took about a half an hour, the time flew as we sang along with the radio. I was speechless when I saw the ocean line come into view. "Oh my gosh!"  I said softly as Jc turned down the stereo.

"It's beatiful isn't it?" he said happily.

"It's amazing! I have never seen an ocean before!" I exclaimed.

"What?" Jc said quickly, "You lived in San Diego and you've never seen a beach?"

"Umm," I panicked, shit I thought Olivia had been to a beach before! "I meant this beach, ya know I haven't been to the beach and ocean here so it's different than back home!"

"Oh, I gotcha," he said confused. Shit, I had fucked that up big time, Mel would pissed if he knew. I glanced in the rear view mirror to see the black SUV following a car behind us, Mel though unhappy did a damn good job of taking care of me and keeping me safe. Jc parked and grabbed a blanket from the backseat before we headed to the sand.

"This is pretty awesome, thank you." I said looking up at Jc. "I really needed an escape like this today!"

"It's always good to get out of the city now and then, it's like another world out here!" he said as he spread the blanket on the sand, taking a seat on top of it. I followed sitting next to him. "So tell me about yourself, don't skip out on the details! I wanna know everything!"

"I don't wanna bore you!" I laughed, I couldn't tell him my life story, I hoped that I could change the subject. I noticed a group of four girls running towards us and I started to get confused as to why they were shrieking.

"Sorry, I know this is probably gonna be weird for you," Jc said as the girls approached us.

"You're Jc Caylen!" the brunette screamed.

"That would be me!" he said standing and hugging the girls.

"Can we have a picture with you?" the short girl asked, practically in tears.

"Yeah that would be ok." Jc said looking back at me, I shot him a smile to let him know that it was ok.

"Here I can take it," I said standing as all four of the girls handed me their iPhones, picture after picture was taken. Jc continued to chat with them a bit before they sensed the awkwardness in the air and headed back up to the pier shrieking about how lucky they were.

"Sorry if that made you uncomfortable," Jc said sitting back down beside me. "The fans mean a lot to me, without them I wouldn't even be here so I always take the time to chat them a bit. I like making them happy."

"Oh it's not a problem! When you said that you were on YouTube I didn't know it was so big! But then again you're pretty spectacular so why wouldn't everyone love you!" I laughed.

"Yeah, being a YouTube partner is something I had never expected to happen when I made my first video. But I wouldn't change it for anything. Everything happens for a reason and I know that I am on the right path." his eyes lit up with excitement as he spoke, you could tell he truly loved every minute of his life. "Race you to the water!" Jc jumped up taking off, I stood confused and ran after him. I felt so alive being with Jc like I was invincible, I didn't have a care in the world. This is how life was supposed to be, you were supposed to be happy all the time, not depressed and lonely. Jc reached the water first and when I approached him he held his arms opened wide and said "Jump!" I jumped up and into his arms, our lips crashing together into a perfect kiss. I had never before felt such love for someone I barely knew before, I didn't want this moment to end. Jc put me down as he stared into my eyes, "You're beautiful," he said and I knew that he meant it as he kissed me again.

"You're amazing. I have never met anyone like you before." I leaned in kissing him on the cheek, running in the water splashing Jc. Of course he splashed back, and before I knew it we were both soaked and heading up to the car to head home. The wind blew my long wet hair dry, Jc and I singing along to radio the entire way home, dancing at red lights. People probably thought we were crazy but I didn't care, I was young, free, and in love, though I had yet to share that information with anyone. We pulled up to the my house and parked in the drive way.
"Do you wanna come inside?" I asked, "I can make us something for dinner."

"Shoot food! Girl you know the way to my heart!" Jc said jumping out of the car, holding my hand as we walked to the front door. We stepped inside, and I headed to the kitchen to find something to make.

"I'm gonna throw my wet clothes in the dryer, want me to toss yours in too?" I offered heading upstairs.

"Yeah that would be sweet, do you have anything else I can throw on for the time being?" Jc said tearing off his wet shirt.

"Umm, I'm sure I can find something around here," I said stripping down to my bikini throwing the clothes in the dryer. I looked at Jc standing in his boxers, his smile lit up the room and made my heart feel warm. I felt as if my heart was on fire with my care for Jc, I wanted nothing more than to tell him everything, I felt as if he would care for me no matter what. I knew deep down that I couldn't share any information about the real me with him. I took a step forward and Jc came closer, our lips meeting into a passionate kiss. He picked me up carrying me to the bed across the room, I laid back as he crawled on top of me. His soft skin rubbing against mine, his warm lips sending tingles through my entire body. At that moment I decide to let things happen, I had a strong connection with Jc, I had never felt this way about anyone before. So I let things go, I let things happen the way they were supposed to happen.

I laid naked out of breath, next to Jc as he let out short warm breaths onto my neck. His arms around me felt comfortable and safe, I wanted nothing more than to stay in bed with him forever. I turned my head and looked into Jc's eyes.

"I think I love you," Jc said with a smile.

"I think I love you too," I said scooting closer to his warm body.

"I love you Olivia," he said kissing me on top of my head. A lump formed in my throat, Olivia, he loved Olivia. A made up alias to keep me safe, I was Skylar, Jc didn't love Skylar. He loved the character I was playing.

"I love you too," I said softly, my heart aching realizing that I had given him everything, I gave everything to a boy I knew for less than a week, a boy that knew nothing about the real me. It was a scary thought, but at the same time I envisioned myself playing this character forever, I could do it if that meant I got to keep Jc. I closed my eyes before the tears could escape, I let my body melt together with Jc's as we both feel into a deep sleep.
