Special

13. One Last Time

Frank drops us off at the beach and tells us he'll see us in an hour or so. The boys started running onto the beach, peeling their clothes off by the minute. Even Hayes joins in and it left Hunter and I walking. Well she was behind me so I didn't really pay attention. I was too busy laughing at all the guys. Then she taps me on the shoulder.

"Hey, can we please talk?" She asks.

"Fine. What?" I ask. We sit down on a bench.

"Look, I know it was wrong. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to you and Nash and I know you'll both probably never forgive me, especially Nash-but that's not the point. I'm really sorry..." She says, almost crying now.

"Hunter, you literally haven't been here for me this entire trip. I barely knew Hayes and he was here for me more than you ever were." I say. "That's not even the only thing! You made out with my ex, which, need I remind you, we both promised we wouldn't date him again as it would be toxic for both of us."

"I know and I'm-"

"No, I'm not done. You totally didn't even care about the Twitter thing either. You acted surprised but it's obvious that you weren't. What ever happened to "I'll be there for you"? You're ridiculous to ask me and Nash for forgiveness."

"I know, and I know that now. I've been a horrible friend and girlfriend. Just please, please forgive me. I can't lose my best friend."

"Well that's too bad. You already lost her." I say as I get up. Hunter was crying now, but I wasn't. "You know, they say fame changes people. I didn't believe that until you proved me wrong." Then I walked away.

Now I was crying.

I had to let it out. Hunter was my best friend and I hated fighting with her. This was actually our first real fight. All the other times it would be over Barbies or something but this, this was real. Betrayal, lying, and secrets was real.

"Hey babe, everything alright?" Hayes wraps me in his arms. He was wet from the water.

"Uh, yeah," I turn around and wipe my tears. "I'm fine."

"Come swim with me, I know you're upset." He says.

"Uh, I would love to but I don't have a bathing suit." I shrug.

"Who cares? Isn't underwear basically a bathing suit?"

"Hayes, I'm not swimming in my underwear." I laugh.

"Suit yourself." He pulls off his shirt and shorts and shrugs. His package was even showing through his boxers and I quickly look up.

"Uh yeah, put your shorts on."

"Ah, you've got some wondering eyes, Spencer." He laughs.

"Shut up." He pulls his shorts up and then comes close to me. Our foreheads were touching and his arms were wrapped around my back, close to my butt. "Keep your hands up or Jack's gonna kill you," I laugh.

"Of course," He smiles. Then he gets closer to my ear. "But now it's your turn," He slaps my butt and runs.

"HAYES!" I yell. "God, you're such a freaking flirt." I whisper. I look at him teasing me in the water. "Ugh, what the heck?" I shrug and pull off my tank top. I was wearing a sports bra anyway.

I run into the waves. The feeling of cold water hits me and the smell of salt fills my lungs. I loved feeling like this. No care in the world, nothing to worry about, the feeling of love all around. The sun was just setting in the sky, setting the mood. We all splashed each other in the pool and I even saw Hunter enjoying herself. I had to admit, I was happy for her. I loved seeing her happy. I loved seeing everyone I care about happy.
