I felt a growling emptiness inside of me, a void that needed to be filled with some sort of satisfaction. Rain-drops trickled in mismatched lines down my Parker jacket, and the clouds briskly moved to the west, the miserable weather continuing.
After what's possibly been an easily fun few days, I can't help but think as if this is somehow set up, and soon enough Reece will leave me and announce this whole situation was a hoax. It's happened before and I'm expecting the inevitable.
A torch harshly hit my face, but was soon adjusted to a warm golden circle that illuminated a spot around me.
"Even in the rain?" he spoke and he perched down beside me.
"Even in the rain," I confirmed. Listening to the rain fall around us was serene to me. I was warm and comfortable, and in a way happy.
"You haven't accepted my friend request or follows," Reece chirped up after an enjoyable moment of silence.
"oh," I replied, being reminded yet again of social media and the thousand reasons of why I deleted them all.
"I'm just Reece Bibby on all of them," he spoke, "just in case you were wondering. I mean I hope I added the right Shiloh," he giggled. I was the only Shiloh I knew and my pictures were all taken within the last couple of years, I'm sure he was right.
"I deleted all my social medias," I declared, and he just looked at me and the blank expression on my face.
"Why's that?" he asked simply, another question that too held way more meaning than he had initially thought.
I inhaled, looked over at him but back towards the crazed sea with waves roaring all across, I exhaled.
"That was the main way my friends, well that people could get a hold of me and talk, say things about me. I needed to get away from it, it was vicious." I spoke attempting to keep my calm about it, I knew how to handle myself when put in situations like this, I had to stay calm or else everything would just come spilling out.
"what would they say?" he spoke, he looked over his blue troubled eyes reflected the waves below, they harboured curiosity too.
"Reece," I started, wondering how to tell him this. "I can't tell you, I've only known you two weeks and it's wrong of me to lay my problems on you like this, when the times right perhaps."
"okay," he breathed. Okay, I repeated in my head. I wanted more than an okay from him, I wanted to tell him but I couldn't. We were merely friends, just strangers trying to remind ourselves why the beach really mattered to us.
