I woke up to my phone ringing I picked it up, it was tom. "Hey love!" He said as I answered it
"Hey tommy how ya doing?" I asked him my voice groggily.
"I'm bored out of my mind" he said and I laughed.
"Same, kind of. I mean I just woke up, I'm just laying here snuggling Belle" Belle is my golden retriever.
"What do you have planned for today??" He asked.
"Uhh, Jake wanted to go to the beach" I kind of frowned. I don't even know why. I just would've rather hung out with tom.
"Oh" his whole mood changed again. Every time I brought up I was doing something with Jake. Today we had a day off for filming, I hadn't had one in awhile so Jake wanted to go to the beach for something "special" I just would rather hang with tom honestly.
       "So what're you doing today?" I asked him standing up out of my bed stretching.
      "Nothing, I actually gotta go love you bye" and he quickly hung up the phone.
        I went down stairs and ate breakfast, Jake wanted to go to the beach at 4:30 and it was already 11:00.
       "Good morning sunshine" mom said as she came over and kissed my forehead.
       "Morning momma" I started to pour myself cereal as she sat down by her computer at the island.
        "Do you have any plans for today?" She asked me not taking her eyes away from her computer
        "Yeah Jake wants to go to the beach later for something special" I said not even realizing that I rolled my eyes as I said it.
       "Why aren't you excited?" She asked sort of frowning "I thought you liked Jake?"
      "I'm excited!" I lied right through my teeth. I don't know what it was. 
      I went and sat on the couch watching the office cuddling with Belle.
       After watching many episodes I went to check my phone and it was already 3:00. I sort of slumped upstairs. These two couple weeks I've realized me and Jake maybe aren't meant to be. Jake has really thought differently. He always wants to hang out with me and I just I don't know.
      I put on just ripped mom jeans, a mustard yellow crop top, and some black and white checkered vans. I heard a car honk outside at 4:00 almost on the dot. Obviously it being Jake I went downstairs said bye to mom and left. Dad had token the kids out on a day of fun since he hadn't been able to see them much from filming.
       I opened the car door and shut it. Jake handed me flowers and kissed my cheek.
        "Hey baby" He said smiling
        "Hey" I buckled my seat belt and we were off. The car ride seemed so awkward. He kept checking his pockets and once we pulled up to the beach, we just sat there. In silence. He took a deep breathe and then got out of the car and so did I. He quickly ran over to me and grabbed my hand. Then we began walking on the beach. He was so quiet and it was so awkward. I felt like I couldn't be myself right now. Mess around do cartwheels on the beach. We just slowly walked to where the water almost hit us.
       "This is the place I fell in love with you" He said as we looked out into the water. Everything was so different then when we first met. Our first date. "And the place I want to promise you my love forever" He let go of my hand and slowly lowered himself. My eyes widened. What was he doing??? Why was he doing this?!!
"Aurora Downey?" I turned my head and faced him. He had tears welling up In his eyes and was smiling like crazy.
      "Jake please no" I knew what was coming and I felt so bad. I couldn't do anything but stand there. I didn't want this!
      "No it's fine" I saw a bunch of people start staring. As he kneeled there holding my hand.  He pulled a box out from his pocket and started smiling. "2 months and 5 days ago we went on our first date here"
      "Jake please stop!" I said to him once again. Squeezing my eyes shut. Praying this was only a bad dream. A terrible awful dreadful dream. We'd only been together two months, I'm still so young. He's still so young. I felt like panicking. my breathing picked up.
"Aurora Downey" he grabbed my hand. Tears started streaming down my face as I shook my head. I bit the inside of my lip.
"Will you do me the honor an-" he began opening up the ring box.
"Jake" I whispered cutting him off. Putting my hand on his to stop him from opening it up fully He seemed shocked.
"Yes?" He asked uneasy.
"I can't do this..." I told him my breath became shaky, everything was shaking.
He sat there on one of his knees. How awful of a person am I? All this, everything he's done for me. Leaving him, in the dirty sand on one knee.
"You're just getting cold feet Ro..." He tried saying. Tom always called me Ro. I wish I just hung out with tom today...
"Jake" I said trying to pull him off of his knees, and he did. I held his hands staring at the ground "I can't do this. Any of this. Your an amazing guy. But you deserve better" I kissed his cheek then slowly began walking towards the street. I couldn't stay there any longer, I needed to leave. Right now. I had made it almost down the street, deciding to go and slip
Into a coffee shop.
I took out my phone and dialed Tori's number. It went straight to voicemail. Then I dialed Toms. It rang twice then he picked up.
"Love?" He asked. The place he was really loud. Music blasting.
"H-hey tom" I stuttered. I was crying up a storm and didn't want him knowing.
"Is all alright? Did something happen?? Are you okay?"
"I'm perfect" I whispered into the phone. Then closing my lips together and squeezing my eyes.
"One second lemme just,,,,, there we go" I couldn't hear any background noise.
"What're you doing?" I asked him.
"Having an awful time at some dance place Jacob and Zendaya brought me to. All the girls here keep trying to talk to me and i just don't want any of it" He laughed.
"Oh nice." I laughed at him.
"Is everything alright?" He asked once again.
"Yea. I just wanted to hear your voice" I bit my bottom lip and smiled. I don't know why. I just did.
"Are you drunk?" He asked as if he'd caught me.
"Sure." I told him, for some reason.
"Alright I don't believe that for a sec love! You hate drinking. But I gotta go love you bye!!"
"Bye, love you"
