* * Mitchy's P. O.V * *

I woke up due to the sun rays pouring into my room, landing on my bed and bouncing off into my eyes. I squinted to check the time from the clock on my stool. '7:30 am', it read. I was extremely astonished. I had never gotten up this early for as long as I can remember. I stood up from the mattress, trying to adjust my eyes to the light. I saw a figure -not just any figure but a male shaped figure.

"And who are you? " I said casually walking towards the figure. I wondered why I wasn't still seeing clearly, but then I remembered that my contact lenses weren't on at the moment. The figure took a step closer to me and I tightened my fist, before I knew it, the figure was down on the ground
"Hold it there Mitchy" the voice which sounded very much like Jason's said, and that was when I noticed what I had done.
I have been haunted for quite sometime now. The memory still remains evergreen in my head. I always think of what happened that night an-
"What was that about?" Jason asked me. As much as I wanted to laugh, I held it in.
"Um..... calm down" I said and quickly ran towards my stool to get my lenses, I got it out and fixed them perfectly in my eyes, that was when I noticed that Jason was fully dressed
"What's happening? " I asked Jason, who was still obviously in great pain from the club sandwich I served him.
"Seriously, is that the right question for this situation? You fucking punched me and then you stand there to ask me what's happening."
"Yeah, what's happening?, like why are you in my room?" By the time my question was asked, he was already up and heading for the door.
"I came to tell you that I was hungry....babysitter."
That.....that made me very angry, how in the world would he just call me that?!
"Why did you just call me that?"
"That's what you called yourself last night." And with that, he left. I was going to kill this boy here in California.
"Nice meal, Mitchy," Raile said hitting her cutlery on her plate
"Yeah....nice meal" Jason said not even giving me a chance to answer Raile.
Jason had known that I hadn't prepared the meal myself -because I can't cook, and that was the best way he could annoy me. I couldn't see this summer becoming any better with the way it was sketching out. I smiled a wicked smile at him, and he shot me a smirk. How I wanted to slap that dirty smirk off his face.
This was becoming childish and I decided to talk to him about it.
"We need to talk" I said randomly, and two pairs of eyes were on me
"What if I don't want to talk?" Jason answered, still with the dirty smirk on his face. Raile took her plate to the dishwasher. Sooner than later, the maid came in and Raile jumped on her. That gave me the chance to talk to Jason in private. I pulled this guy aside after clearing OUR plates.
"We really need to get along" I said, when we got to my room.
"See who needs a friend now" he was still smirking
"I don't need a friend. It's just that things are not going to work out this summer if you keep acting like a baby"
"Next time, you tell my parents not to get a girl that is younger than me, to be my babysitter" Jason started, emphasising on the 'girl' and 'younger'.
"Get over it Mr, and move on with your life and let's make something out of this summer. Do you understand what I mean?" I said taking my leave until his husky voice stopped me.
"When you mean make something, do you mean make babies?" I stared at him with a scowl on my face which read 'pervert'. He smirked, gripped my hand forcefully and spun me around. That made me knee him immediately, and he was down for the second time that morning.

I ran out of the room. Past memories filled my brain and tears threatened to spill. I got my phone and dialled Becca's number.
"Hey!" She greeted, with enough enthusiasm in her voice, while my reply back was dull, which she understood immediately. She knows about everything; everything that has happened to me in the past and she has always done a great job in consoling me.
"What happened this time?" She asked, sounding like my mother.
"Nothing much, apart from the fact that he grabbed my hand forcefully and I kneed him and ran" I said emotionless. I have always been so cold, but I always had a way to cover it all up.
Ever since I was 10, and that skin tearing event occurred, I had been this bad. Emotionless.
"Just calm down and apologise to him so you won't get him angry the more" Becca advised.
"I don't know if I can do that. I hate that boy so much, and we can never just get along, that's it."
"You have to do this. For Raile." She said and hung up.
Does she have to bring Raile into this? She knew I had a soft spot for children, that was why she did what she just did.
Hours passed on, and no words had been heard from either Jason or Raile. I was all alone in the living room, thinking about how sorrowfully I had lived. I thought about how my mum and I used to live in poverty while dad and my brothers were no where to be found, probably enjoying their lives.
"Hey Mitchy", Raile busted in, interrupting my thoughts.
"Hey girl, where have you been?" I asked, immediately switching my mood to excited. "Where are you coming from Raile? "
"Oh, I went to see Emma with Aunt Maria, but aunt Maria left on our way back...Mitchy can u swim?" I was astonished by this question and I think the expression slipped into my face.
"Well....I don't know. I have never really tried that before". This shocked her. She was definitely thinking about how humanly possible that was,but unfortunately, it was.
"You should definitely try it Mitchy, it's totally cooooool" Raile cried
"Can we do that tomorrow?, it's late already" I pleaded.
"Promise me you would swim tomorrow"
"I won't necessarily swim but I'll watch you. I promise"
"Tomorrow it is then." Raile slapped my hand striking a deal.

Raile and I were in her room the next day around 3:00pm. She began to rummage through her wardrobe in search of her pink swim suit, meanwhile it was right in her face.
"Here you go", I handed the suit over to her. She grabbed it and ran for the bathroom probably to change.

"Be careful with the water", I sang as I watched Raile vanish into the water.
"Have you seen Jason anywhere?"
"Nope" I replied emotionless again . I hadn't set my eyes on Jason since yesterday's incident, but Raile did, he was her world.
"He was supposed to join me to swim, and he promised to show up, but now he's no where to be found"
"Did you check his room?"
"Nope"
"Then hurry up and check, I'll be seated here waiting for you" I promised
"Can I also pop some corn?" I nodded and with that she was out of my sight. I just stared at the water, it looked calm as ever, then a voice came in.
"You know, I really like you a lot and I'm sure it's mutual," Jason said coming from nowhere in particular.
"Then you'll probably keep dreaming" I replied still sitting on my chair under the umbrella placed buy it's side
"You know I dream about you?! Who told you?" He also replied with a cocky grin plastered on his face
"You're stupid, you know that"
"I'm stupidly chasing you". What the hell did this boy take? The normal me would stop pushing it, but I wasn't going to lose to this boy.
" you can stop at any time you want" I said
"I don't think so, I don't give up that easily. You're going to have to make me quit" Jason was really close to me at this point. Memories started rushing in but I swallowed them all up to win this.
"Then how do I do that?" I spoke confidently
"Make beautiful love to me" with that Jason was in the water but I was still outside. After I had noticed what I had just done, I cupped my mouth with my hands. I couldn't see Jason anywhere and I became worried sick about him, I thought I had killed the child I was babysitting.
That feeling died when I was pulled by the leg into the pool. I CAN'T SWIM. Was the only thing that popped into my head. Slowly, I began to feel dead. I could hear Jason laugh from above the water. The colours began to fade slowly till I landed head first at the bottom of the water and I went blank.

I love you'll♥♥♥
