Chapter 7: Playing the game of LIFE.
I kissed Ben one last time before we hit sand. I loved the way it felt under my feet.
"Stay where I can see you," He whispered, touching my back with his cold hands.
"Alright daddy," I giggled at my words and started running towards the water. I jump into it and swim, feeling the cold water touch me everywhere. I suddenly feel something come up behind me. It had hands.
I turned around and see Shane.
"Hey, where have you been the past few days?" He asked, I didn't want to tell him but I knew that he would find out anyway.
"I was with Mr. Vega." I whispered his name.
"With who?" He asked.
"Mr. Vega. Me and him have been together I guess." I said, trying to hide my red face. His face was filled with shock.
"YOU AND MR. VEGA?!!!" He yelped, I quickly jumped onto him and shvoed him backwards into the water.
"Shut up, no one can know," I shut him up.
"You and Mr. Vega are together, like kissing? Gross." He said, pretending to throw up. I chuckled and thought about kissing him. Feeling his lips against mine, feeling our bodies intertwine with each other.
I loved the way he made me feel.
I felt someone grab me and I turn around to see Ben. He stood behind me, while Shane went away, giving us some privacy.
"What are you doing?" I asked, touching his chest.
"Hold your breath," He whispered, I did as he said and he dragged me under, I stayed close to his body.
I suddenly felt his lips touch mine, I kissed him, trying desperately to take a breath but we were still underwater and I would drowned.
I suddenly jumped up to the surface and broke the kiss. I laughed as he tugged on my hips, trying to kiss me again. I guess we were kissing underwater so no one would see.

I turn off the water and get out of the shower. Tonight was our last night, before going back to the normal town.
I put on my pajama's inside the bathroom before opening the door and steping out into Ben's room, where he lays on the bed, just laying there, staring at nothing.
He went and got my suitcase, I can see it, sitting on the floor. unzipped waiting for my dirty clothes. But, I'm more worried about Ben.
"Baby, are you OK?" I asked, sitting next to him. It took him a second to respond, but he did.
"I'm a horrible person. Fuck." He whispered the last part, but I heard him.
"Why are you a horrible person?" I asked, touching his chest, with my fingertips.
"I'm dating one of my english students. That makes me the cradle robber." Teras now stream down his face a little bit but he wiped them away, trying to seem strong.
"Baby, you're not a cradle robber. I'm 18 years old. You're not hurting me. Nor yourself. If I'm making you happy then my job is done." I said, touching his face but he jumped up off the bed and walked around the room trying to get away from me.
"What?! What?! Was that not good enough for you?!" I say, louder than I want to.
He gives me a weird look like I was crazy. "Not good enough? You're not good enough for me? I'm not good enough for you!" He said, sitting back down on the bed in silence.
I touched his face against my forehead, "I don't care what they think. I make you happy and you make me happy. That's all that matter's. I promise," I kissed him gently but he pulled away.
"You don't get it." He whispered, pushing me away from him.
"What Ben?! What don't I get?!" This is now starting to hurt me, you can tell from the tears that are blurring my vision.
"You're not like her." Her? Now he's comparing me to someone.
"Who?" I asked, calmly.
"Her. You're not like her. That's what's wrong." He said, but quickly realizing what he said and giving me a pleading look.
"Look, I think you need some time alone. Just leave me alone. I'm sorry for not being like, whoever you're talking about. But, we can't all be like that. You're just going to have to realize that!" I yelped, before grabbing my suitcase and walking across the hallway to my room.
I threw my suitcase onto the couch and walked over and sat down. I held my knees into my face nad cried. Just cried that he thinks that I can be like whoever he's expecting.
