DON'T PLAY THE SONG UNTIL I SAY

Sunset had rolled around and I'd not seen ethan or Grayson since that morning when I left them in the pool. It's for the best keisha. I decided I wanted to take a stroll down the beach so I began the maze that it was to exit my hotel. Alexis was in the room getting ready, but I was already done up for the night. I'm always ready before her. It was so beautiful, not just the views but the atmosphere. Happy families all together watching the show that the kids club team did every night. Sure enough the songs were annoying as hell but you couldn't help but sing along. I have so much respect for their team that goes about every day making children smile, it was adorable. Couples sat together by the poolside or at the bar gazing into each other's eyes and getting lost, realising they've found their perfect match. I want that. As I was gathering my thoughts a familiar voice spoke,

"Hey." It was ethan.
"Oh, h-hi." Why did I stutter?
"Are you ok? You look stressed."
"Well thanks."
"I didn't mean to offend you! You actually look stunning." He said blushing.
"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." I said feeling my face heat up. He was wearing black skinny jeans, with a khaki shirt, black paintent shoes and a black jacket. I, on the other hand was wearing a flowing black dress with matching heels, a diamond choker and no jacket. I'm extra.
"No but seriously are you ok?" He asked genuinely.
"Not really..."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Sure." I agreed and he extended his hand whilst making eye contact. I shouldn't. But I can't resist. His eyes glowing a more green colour than before in the setting sun. I grabbed his hand and we began walking together down the board on the beach.
"Promise you will believe me."
"That depends."
"Ethan..."
"Ok, ok go."
"You can't laugh. There is literally only five people in the world that know about this." I exaggerated.
"Go on." He said with a smile.
"Ok, ever since I was little I was different to the other kids and not in a good way. I'd always get suspended or taken out of school to be put under 'observation'."
"Wait what do you mean. I swear to god if anyone bullied you I will hunt them." He said becoming agitated.

Why does he care about me? No one does.

"I have this... I wouldn't say power, but it's really weird." We carried on walking and came to the edge of the pier over looking the sea.
"And what is this power?" He asked intrigued.
"I have these dreams."
"Elaborate." He said with wide eyes.
"And what I dream sometimes comes true."
"Is that good or bad?"
"It can be either, for instance, once I had a dream that I'd get a dance solo and blow everyone away and that happened."
"Oh sweet."
"But sometimes they're not so good..."

(Play song)

"Look Krystal, can I just say I've known you for literally a day but I feel so close to you already. I feel like I could share anything with you."
"What is it that you want to tell me, you can tell me anything."
"Ever since our dad was diagnosed with cancer, Grayson and I don't know what to do. We've been spending every waking minute with him and trying to get the most out of the time he has left. That's what the doctors told us to do. But it's bullshit, I know that it is. I know he can beat this." His eyes began to glaze over so I squeezed his hand.
"Ethan, I'm so sorry. I know your dad can beat this. I have a feeling, I don't know why but I just do."
"Oh Krystal, don't be sorry. It's absolutely not your fault in any way, shape or form. Gray and I came out here only because he told us to. On holiday I mean. He wanted us to relax and not worry about him, but he's consuming my thoughts. I'm really worried Krystal."
"Stressing out about it isn't the best thing to do, trust me. I used to cry myself to sleep every night, praying that I could see my dad again. But that was when I was young and didn't know all the stuff that he's done."
"Oh I'm Sorry Krystal."
"NO, now you don't need to apologise, you're being open with me so I'm going to be open with you.
He was in prison. Then something bad happened to him that made our family closer together. Even with the people that my mum hadn't spoken to in years, like his mother and brothers."
"Krystal, can I just say thank you."
"For what?"
"For listening to what I have to say and opening up to me. Is hard for me to let my guard down and I could see it was hard for you. I honestly feel like I can tell you anything."
"Ethan that's so sweet but I need to tell you someth-"
"To be honest I'm moving too fast but I know that if I don't do this now then I'll be asking myself why I didn't take this opportunity for the rest of my life."
"Ethan what do you mea-"

He began leaning down to me and closed his eyes, he was taller than me but I wasn't small, it was cute that he had to lean down. His plump pink lips were edging closer to my face in by the second. I can't do this. I can't do this to me. I can't do this to him. This is what we both wanted but it wasn't worth the risk. Or was it? My thoughts were interrupted when our lips came into contact with each other. Fireworks, I felt the fireworks. The ones that you read about in fanfics, books or even see in films. I felt them. The desire to be closer to him even though our bodies were already touching each other. I already felt so attached but we've literally only know each other for a day. It was because he opened up to me and me to him, I never wanted to let go. I snaked my hand behind his neck and up to his hair as he cupped my cheeks. I didn't want this feeling to end. His hands went from my cheeks to my waist pulling my delicate frame closer to his. I felt so vulnerable yet so safe in his arms. The amount of passion within this kiss was insane. This is bad news, and I know it is. But does he? He wouldn't even let me finish telling him what was going to happen. But how can I? He won't believe me, not a chance, It will ruin everything. Because as cliché as it sounds love changes everything. We finally pulled away and just stared at the stars as I rested my head on his shoulder.
Love?
Shut up you don't even know what love is, you're 17 and this is a holiday fling.
That's all he'll ever be.

Or will he be more?
