Later that night, everyone was in the pool while I was in the hotel room trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me.

I've come down to the conclusion that my hormones are just everywhere because I'm soon to start my period. But normally I'm not this moody.

I'm not pregnant either, so that's out of the way. Every time it's soon to be my period, I always freak out about if I'm pregnant or not because I'm not always constant each month. But I've got a good selection of days that I always start on. So, that's not in the picture just yet.

So, I think I'm just hormonal because of my period. Good sign. Now, I just need to keep my moods in check.

I put on my bikini, which is black bottoms and a dark blue top with these cool leaf designs

I put on my bikini, which is black bottoms and a dark blue top with these cool leaf designs. Then I throw on a soft white cloth cardigan over it. I slip my feet into my black sandals before leaving the room.

I run downstairs, taking the stairs, and come into the pool area. I halt in my spot when I see Laura real close to Tom. My Tom.

Tom says something funny, resulting in her laughing and laying her head on his shoulder. Tom looks over, practically kissing her. He might as well have.

Tom laughs and splashed her, only starting a flirty splashing war.

"Liz?" Harry approaches me, standing beside me. "What's wrong?"

I simply gesture to Laura and Tom, being all flirty. My heart is cracking with each laugh and each smile.

"I knew I was doing something wrong." I mumble, turning and running out of the pool area.

"Liz, wait!" Harry shouts, but I was already out of there. I ran straight out the front door and into the chilled air of the night.

Tears didn't fall, no angered expressions, no clenched fists. I was just empty. There was nothing for me to feel or show.

I wrapped the cardigan tightly around my body, wanting to warm up the cold hole inside me. I just start walking, in the direction my feet took me while my heart cried and my mind sighed.

I was foolish to believe; to think that I could find a guy who would love me. Notice how the moment I give him my body, he starts to get bored.

I guess I wasn't as beautiful as he said I was. I was foolish to believe him anyway. I can't believe myself. I've worked so hard to be like a brick house, but the moment he steps into my life, I melt like wax over a fire.

I shout in anger, finding the closet thing to me and kicking it as hard as I could. It happened to be a trash bin, flying into the brick building, denting and the contents spilling everywhere.

"Liz?! Liz?!" I whip around to see Tom running around, dripping wet, looking everywhere in hope of finding me.

I glance at the alleyway next to me and I quickly slip into the darkness to avoid being spotted.
