Happily Ever After??

Two

Soon enough our food came. We ate and quickly became bored so we took a trip to the pool.

Izzys swimsuit

We change and walk down to the elevator, making stupid jokes as we go. She uses her room key to unlock thw pool door. Currently we are the only people in here. I play some music on my phone with a DIY Pringles can speaker.
You might be surprised but it works pretty well.

Her and I are joking around, flipping into the pool. Our two peraon pool party doesn't last much longer. Halfway through our little dance party James and his friend Chris decide to crash it.
My phone thinks it's the perfect time to play Sexting by Blood on the Dance Floor

James and I akwardly stare at eachother while the lyrics "Sext, sext, sext me!" blare from my phone.
Izzy hits my shoulder, breaking me from the trance I was in. I swim to the nearest ladder and get out of the pool.

The first thing I do is stop Sexting from playing. I then wrap a towel around myself ans head to the exit

"Wait!" James calls from behind me. I turn around to find him running toward me.
"I'll meet you in the room." Izzy says. Thanks, leave me all alone.
"Can we tal..." He slips and falls into the pool.
He doesn't come up and I start to worry. I put my stuff back on the table and jump back into the pool. I still don't see him.

Then I feel a pair of arms around my waist before I am thrown under the water when I come up James is there with a smile on his face.
"Not funny!" I say with a fake pout.
"Oh it's very funny." James states.
"You wanted to talk?" I ask, breaking the silence."oh... yeah I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to cause you to..."
"It's fine" I say bluntly.
James swims closer to me. We're so close our faces are almost touching. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"Could I- could I try something?" He asks. I just nod, not being able to form words.
He leans in, placing a soft yet passionate kissto my lips. Moments later I kiss back. It wasn't overly long but not short either. We part. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

I rush out of thepool and heas straight to the elevator. Ignoring James calling my name from behind me. It's not until I get back to the room that I realize I forgot my stuff.

"Izzy! You love me right?"
"What do you want?" She says with a sigh.
"Go back down to the pool and get my stuff?"
"You're such a pain in the ass." She says before headed to the door
"You love me!" I say.
As the door is closing she shouts "unfortunately!"

This left me alone to think about what happened earlier. He kissed me! He kissed me! Then I stormed out. What the hell was I thinking? He probably thinks I hate him or something. Fucking hell I screwed up.

Izzy walks back in the room.
"Dude, why is James down there, in a ball crying?" She asks.
"He's... what... I've gotta go." I say.
I rush back down to the pool area. I feel like this is all my fault.

I open the pool door to find James in a ball in tears. Chris is sat there trying to comfort him. I sit down on the other side of him. He was always the strong one.

"What's wrong?" I ask. He would never act this was over a kiss.

"My mom just called. Grandpa Jones died." He says.

My heart shattered. Grandpa Jones was like a grandpa to me. But James and him were even closer. Whenever his parents were out of town on work grandpa Jones took care of him. Hell, he was more of a dad then his own dad was.

I put my arm around him and he puts his head on my shoulder. I try my best to hold back my tears. I have to be the strong one now.

"Hun, you're freezing. Come on, let's go get you into something warmer." I say.
I bring him up to my room and give him q pair of males sweatpants (what, they're more comfortable) and a really big Slipknot hoodie.

He changes in the bathroom. Izzy looks at me confused when he slumps down on my bed. Tears threatening to fall from his eyes once again. I give her the "I'll tell you later" look. She nods.
He again starts crying.
"It's gonna be okay" I tell him, though I'm not sure if I believe it myself. I let a tear or two fall.

There is a knock on the door. Izzy gets up to get it.
"Oh, hi Mrs. Lewis." Izzy says.
We aren't supposed to have boys in our room, but right now I don't care. This it too important.
"What's going on here? Mr. Szor you are not sup... Oh honey what's wrong?" She asks once she sees us crying. I couldn't hold back the tears.
"My.." He tries to speak but he can't seem to form words.
"His grandpa died.." I say.
"My mom called me. I ignored it. All he wanted was to get to say goodbye. I missed the chance to say goodbye..." He says, his voice cracking near the end.
"I'll leave you guys alone." Mrs. Lewis says.

Izzy hands me my phone saying I have a phone call. It was Mrs. Szor.

With shaking hands I answer.
"Hello?" My voice cracked.
"I'm guessing James told you." She says. Though her voice is raspy you could tell she'd been crying.

I nod, knowing she can't see this I try to make out a word.
"Try to comfort him. They says they are flying you two back in two days. That's the soonest flight they could book." I nod again. "I'm gonna let you go. I love you." She says.
"Love you too" I somehow form those words.

She hangs up the phone. I stare at the wall in disbelief. This can't he real.
