Summer Love

chapter 32

*****just after prime time****

We were walking back from Prime Time where we played capture the flag. My team won because Ethan and Wyatt went together to get the flag and while Wyatt was distracting the other team Ethan grabbed it and ran away without anybody noticing. The whole cabin had green paint on there face. Actually Ethan and I have the most paint on our faces. I asked if I could put the paint on my cabin so it could go faster so I put football lines on the rest of the boys but for Ethan I put my name on his face. He then took the paint to do my face and wrote Quantum on my face.

When we got to the cabin the boys grabbed their toothbrushes and tooth paste and Josh and I grabbed our ukulele and guitar. We walked to the beach for our campfire. Once we got there we sat down and sung a few songs. Then it was Josh and I's turn.

I sat down where I was facing our cabin whereas Josh sat across from me facing the opposite direction. He started strumming and I followed with my ukulele. Then I started singing.

Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?

I looked up from playing ukulele to see Ethan looking at me. Our eyes connected and he smiled. I loved him. I was so sure that I loved him. He made me so happy. He was always there for me. Sure we had people get in the way but we have been so far able to get through it together. I know this is cheesy and I am usually not into that but I truly love him.

 Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,

Take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,

Take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you

When I was done playing I put down my ukulele and looked at Josh. He smiled while everybody rubbed there hands together meaning that they were clapping but because it was almost over it was getting closer to bedtime and everyone had to be more quiet.

I got up and walked over to Ethan. I rested my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around my back and drew small circles on the middle of my back. Once the rest of the songs were over the boys raced upstairs to brush their teeth in the hill washrooms while Ethan and I headed to the nurse.

"I have something to tell you about September." Ethan started. I indicated for him to keep talking. "So for my grade 12 year I will be at Nora Frances Henderson."

I looked at him in surprise. "Really? Like 100%?" I asked. He nodded.

"I text my mom the other day and she started the process. She text me while we were at the campfire confirming." He explained. I was so happy. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I said into his chest. " I guess before we go to school then you should meet my best friend Erza. Hopefully she will like you but if she doesn't I don't care because I love you."

He smiles as we let go and keep walking to the nurse. Once there I take my medicine and leave while other cabins are just getting to the nurse.

"We just missed the line up." Ethan said as we walked down the stairs and to the Lodge to get changed.

When we got there he passed me my stuff and I went into the bathroom to change. I decided to go to the bathroom while I was there. I pulled my bottoms down and noticed that there was blood on my underwear.

"Shit." I muttered to myself. I was never regular for my period so I never really knew when it was going to come. I packed stuff for it just in case but I was really hoping this wouldn't happen. The worst part is there was nobody for me to ask for a bit of help. It was really bad because I am in a all boys cabin. When I am on my period it is really heavy the second and third day which is tomorrow and Saturday. Meaning I have to go to the bathroom every two hours or I will have accident.

I hear the door open a bit.

"Riley are you okay? You've been in there for a longer than normal." Ethan calls out.

"Ethan is anybody else out there?" I asked.

"No. Nobody is here." He replies as I hear him walk in and the door closing. "What's up?"

I breathed in. I hated talking about periods. I hated just asking for my mom to buy me more products. So for me to ask my five day boyfriend to help me out was scaring the crap out of me. So I cried. I was siting on the toilet, pants down, my boyfriend sitting outside the stall door while I cried.

"Hey Riley, what's up? What happened that's making you so upset?" Ethan asked leaning on the toilet. I started freaking out. I was having a hard time breathing. The only thing I could think about was the fact that I was crying. "I'm going to run and get Riley. I'll be right back." He ran and I heard the door close. I was alone.
