Jake visited almost everyday to either hang out or show me some cool places around town.

I was getting ready to leave because Jake wanted to take me to a plaza and walk around for a bit.

* knock knock *

I opened the door and was shocked to see my brother standing before me.

"Hey sis!" He said and gave me a big hug. I hugged back.

"Aren't you suppose to be in Florida or something?" I said. He had told me that he was going to open a new bar.

"Yeah, but it could wait till tomorrow." He said allowing himself in.

"Where's your annoying boyfriend?" He said looking around.

"Uhm, he broke up with me." I said quietly.

"What?!? That son of a-"

"No it's okay. It was my fault anyways." I said. I told him a lie. I told him Ryan got jealous because of making guy friends. Kyle was pissed off.

"I'm going to beat him up." He said angrily.

"No please don't." I said.

"I told him from the beginning that if he broke your heart that I would break his face." He said.

"Kyle please." I said.

He looked me in the eyes. He can see the pain I was going through. "Fine. I won't cause you anymore pain." He said and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you." I said.

"Please just take care of yourself. You're all I have." He said.

We said our goodbyes and he left. I looked at the time 3:40pm.

Shoot I was suppose to met Jake at 2! I looked at my phone. 5 missed calls. I called Jake.

"Jake?"

"Who was that at your house?" He asked sounding jealous.

"Oh Jake that was my brother Kyle!" I said and mentally laughed.

"Oh." He said and chuckled.

"Are you still up for our little adventure?" He asked.

"Uhm, how does going to the beach sound?" I said. I wasn't really up to leaving some far away. I wanted to be near home.

"Sure." He said. We ended our conversation and met up with each other outside his house. I bought along my surfboard and Jake did as well.

"You surf?" I said and was pretty surprised.

"I'm a pro." He bragged.

"Sure." I playfully punched his shoulder.

We finally arrived at the beach. It was beautiful.

"Last to get to water is a rotten egg!" Jake said and ran.

I ran after him letting him beat me. We surfed for almost an hour. I finally got tired and told Jake and we both decided to take a break. We both lied on our towels.

"Do you want anything?" He asked.

"No thanks." I said.

"Alright I'm going to grab a snack. I'll be right back." I nodded and he left.

I turned back to the ocean view. I can never get tired of it. All of sudden a man comes towards me. The worst part is that it's Ryan.

"Jess?" I looked up at him. I didn't want to deal with him right now. It's been 1 month since our breakup.

"It's Jessica." I said firmly.

"Jessica, I'm sorry for my actions. I never meant anything I said to you. I haven't talked to you because my emotions were taking over. I love you so much Jessica. I can't move on without you. You're my everything. You are my wife to our future kids. Jessica please. Forgive me."

I loved this man dearly even after our breakup. He was perfect in every imperfect way. I believed every word he spoke. I wanted my future with him but I couldn't let him that I still wanted him.

"Ryan. I'm sorry, I love you so much but I can't." I said. Ryan was at his knees. He was crying. He had never cried before.

"Jessica I know I've been jerk. It was because I was afraid of losing you. I didn't want to lose you ever. You perfect even when you aren't. I feel happy when I'm around you. I've been in depression ever since we broke up. I was dumb and foolish." He was in tears. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks. Oh Ryan. I just wanted to hug him and say that I loved him and I wanted to kiss him.

I didn't say anything in response.

"I got ice cream!" It was Jake. What a bad moment. Ryan looked up and got up from his knees. He came face to face with Jake.

"You. You made me break up with her!" Ryan was screaming.

"Whoa. Buddy it's not your fault she's to hot to keep eyes off." Jake said.

Ryan was about punch Jake in the face when I jumped in and kissed Ryan.

I can tell Ryan was shocked. I parted our lips.

"Ryan. I want you to move on." I said looking at his eyes.

"But-"

"Start over again with someone new." I said. He seemed hesitant but nodded. He was still holding me.

"One last kiss?" He said. I nodded. He was going for my lips but I instead went for his forehead. Ryan smiled.

"Go. Find someone special and don't ever let go." I finally said and parted. I turned to see Jake. His eyes were about to pop out.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Why would you kiss your ex?!?" He was pretty pissed.

"He was about punch you. I just saved your life." I said calmly.

"Well thanks but wasn't necessary." He said.

He was walking away. I just stood there.

"It's not like we're together are you like me." I said loud enough so he can hear me. He stopped walking and turned.

"You're right we're not together but here's where you're wrong I love you." He said. I stood there shocked.

"But you know what forget it. Didn't mean anything to you anyways." He said and walked back to the car. I gathered my stuff and the ride home was silent.
