:=:Your POV:=:

Normally, when a guy cheats on their girlfriend, the girl flips out, and seeks revenge. I guess I'm not a normal ex girlfriend.

I woke up the next morning with Lyla laying next to me. She truly is a great friend, the Zvhals are like the family I never had. My parents abandoned my sister and I when I turned 12, my sister was 7, and I've been taking care of us. Until CPS took her away. I haven't seen her in 5 years.

I was taken from my thoughts when I heard rocks being thrown at my window. I slowly got out of bed, trying to not wake up Lyla. I looked down and saw Gene, smirking at me.

I shut the balcony door and looked at him, "What?" I asked annoyed.
"Chill, come down here, I want to show you something," Gene said.

I groaned and put some clothes on, I walked down and met Gene, "What?"
He grabbed my hand and I willingly followed him, I was too tired to fight back and he was way stronger then me.
It was still early morning, so the sun was rising, he took me to the docks and he stood there, smiling.
"You nearly broke my window to show me the sunset?" I asked.
"No! Just, look!" He pointed at the water.

I looked over and saw two swans in the middle of the water, with the beautiful sunrise reflecting off the water. It was honestly beautiful, I smiled brightly, I love swans. They're my favorite, even though they can be mean.

Gene smiled at me, "I feel bad for telling you about Aphmau and Aaron, but it was better to see you heartbroken then led on."
I leaned against the railing that prevented people from falling into the lake.

I shrugged, "I don't know... It gives me peace of mind that he and Aph are happy."
"But are you happy?" Gene looked at with annoyance, "For as long as I've known you, you've always put yourself below everyone else. It didn't matter if you were the one getting hurt, when are you gonna start putting yourself above everyone else for once?"

I went silent, "Why do you even care?" I questioned.
Gene scoffed, "I may be a greaser, but that doesn't mean that I don't have a heart."
I looked down slightly, then looked back at Gene, "I better get back to the house, Lyla will freak."
Gene smiled slightly, "Heh... Same. Sasha will loose her mind."

Gene hit the rail lightly, and walked away, "See you around."
I turned to him, "Hey Gene," he turned back, "Thank you..."

Gene nodded and walked away, leaving me looking at the swans. They began to swim away and I eventually made my way back to the house, where all was still quiet. I decided to get some more sleep.

~•~•~

I woke up to the smell of bacon and waffles, I looked up from the couch to see Aphmau and Aaron, laughing, smiling, and making breakfast together. They seemed happy... Happier then I ever made him...

I shook the thought from my head, it's summer, there's no room for sadness. I stood up and made my way upstairs to get dressed, I believe we're going to the water park today.

As I got dressed, I remembered what Gene did for me this morning. It was surprisingly nice, it was a bit unexpected. But, then again, greasers always seem to give the unexpected.

I woke Lyla up, and she woke everyone else. I silently ate my breakfast, while everyone else planned their day.

"Well, Travis and I are checking out the water rides. Whoever wants to join, totally can!" Dante said.
"Zane and I will join!" Garroth cheered.
Zane groaned and Vlyad patted his back, "It'll be fun Zane!"

I smiled at Zane's 'enthusiasm.'

"How about we all go," Faith suggested.
"Yeah, what she said," Kandi smiled.

Lyla and Laurence both shrugged, KC was jumping up and down, and I'm pretty sure that Lucinda is still sleeping.

"What are you doing (Y/n)?" Violet asked.
"I'll join you," I smiled.
"Awesome! Get some things packed! We'll leave as soon as everyone is ready!" Dante instructed.

We all nodded in agreement, and went to pack some stuff. It's going to be a very interesting day...
