Me and Leo were silently sitting in the hot tub while his grandparents and mom and dad were talking around the campfire.

The ocean waves were crashing loudly against the shore. Everything felt so soothing but my mind was still clouded with what Leo has been saying.

I don't want to believe what he has been saying cause it's all so confusing. A little part of me believes it though and that's the scariest part

It honestly feels like a couple words has caused my whole world to crash around me. Like everything that was once good is not good and everything I thought I liked I don't even wanna think about

"Hey Paris wanna go into the ocean?" Leo asked me snapping me out of my thoughts "I wanna get your mind off of other shit so we can have an awesome weekend" he I nodded and we both smiled, he got out and lent me his hand as support to get out of the hot tub

"Beat you there" I said and started running to the water

"Hey what the heck! Wait up" Leo laughed and I looked back and laughed at his funny expressions

As I was running I accidentally tripped on a rock causing Leo to come flying into me and we both fell into the cold ocean water

I started laughing hysterically at him jumping up front the water

"Cold! Cold! Oh my god so cold!" He said jumping up and down

"Don't be a baby" I said pulling him into the water. We both were screaming and laughing but then we got used to the chilly water.

And then everything finally got calm. Us both floating in this water with the sound of the night sky and the faint talking at the campfire. I go on my back to float and so does Leo. We just sit there breathing for a while in silence

I can't help but think about everything that's happened for the past month. Everything has gone by faster than I could imagine. Everything is different now because I have Leo and Leo know how to act.

Albie doesn't

*flashback*

"Hey babe can you wait right here, me and my friends are gonna talk for a bit" Albie said handing me a drink that was probably spiked

"Okay babe" I said and faked a smile. I didn't want Albie to leave but there isn't anything I can do. He just always does what he wants

I sit at the table by myself and drink. I keep waiting and waiting. 30 minutes turns into an hour which turns into 3 hours.

None of my friends came to prom this year so all I can do is sit by myself and pray Albie will come back and we'll dance and have a good time.

My prayers where never answered

I gotta get out of here and go home. I look around the dance floor to look for Albie and he's talking to his friends

"Albie, I'm going home." I say

"Okay babe I'll see you tomorrow" he says and gives me a hug. I just stand there and look at him waiting for him to get the hint

"Bye?" He asks and I just look at him for a little longer and decide it's not worth it

I walked myself out of prom and drove myself home

It wasn't even 11 pm. We didn't even get to take photos because he thought it was tacky

But the next day he came up with flowers and chocolates and an apology.

Everything I thought I wanted

*end flashback*

"Leo" I finally breathe out

"Yeah" he says and I hear the water splashing as he shifts upright but I stay on my back

"You're right" I close my eyes and smile finally being able to say it out loud

"Right about what?"

"Everything... you are right about Albie and about me thinking he loved me when now I know, he just doesn't. It took me 2 years to realize it but better late then never" i chuckled out.

"What are you gonna do now? Like now that you've said it out loud"

I got upright and looked at Leo in the eyes. I put my hands on the back of his neck and smiled to him

"I don't know but right now I wanna enjoy this. I wanna enjoy us being here and being happy" I felt my heart beat faster and faster. It felt like whole world finally stopped and everything was good

"Paris"

"Yeah" I said and rested my chin on Leo's shoulder

"What are you doing to me" he said quietly and I didn't respond because I just didn't know what to say. All I knew is my heart felt like it stopped. I didn't know what he meant but I felt good.

The night air was finally catching up to me and giving me goosebumps and chills.

"Let's go inside, it's too cold" I started swimming back to the shore with a smile on my face.

It only took a day to change my whole entire life
