Alex's P.O.V
I couldn't believe it....
Forever?
Like... Forever forever?
This couldn't be happening....
Why did she have to go?
I love her so much and now I have to let her go and....
Ugh....
I groggily got out of bed from a rough night's sleep and I stretched.
I got some breakfast and I then walked outside for my shift today.
I started up the cart and I realized that it was 8:42.
I WAS LATE!
I sped off to the tavern and froze when I got into the restaurant.
Fiona was wiping down the table and she looked up at me with her blue eyes. She dropped the towel and gave me a hug.
"Hey?" I said breathlessly, confused.
"I thought that I could do your shift for you.... I actually got up early for once and you weren't here so I offered.." She replied.
"Thanks for the offer but, I'll take it from here," I said, getting upset about her leaving again.
"I'm already done," she said.
"Wanna hang out?"
***********
We left the tavern and about an hour later we were walking around by the gift shops surrounding the lake.
I grabbed her hand and we intertwined our fingers.
Ah... Bliss.
If only I could keep her for longer.
I sighed sadly and she looked concerned.
"Sorry... I just don't want you to go," I admitted, hanging my head.
She squeezed my hand.
"I want to stay with you... But if I stay..." She began, "I could risk losing my tail and I would eventually go insane from not being in proper lake water..." She explained, not making eye contact.
"Oh... I didn't know that," I said at last.
"Yeah.... It's just another perk of being a mermaid," she sighed, sitting down in the grass.
I sat down beside her.
"I just wish I was a normal human for you...." She admitted, dropping her head onto my shoulder.
"You don't have to be normal for me," I replied, tilting her chin up.
"Yes I do. It's not fair that I have to leave you," she stubbornly said.
"But, Fiona, it's where you belong... And I can't keep you from that," I reasoned, looking deep into her eyes.
She turned away from me and gazed out at the lake and we just stared at it for awhile.
I then heard Fiona's phone buzz.
"Argh. I need to go.... Bye Alex..."
She sadly said a goodbye.
"Bye Fiona," I simply said back, holding back my sadness.
Fiona's face then lit up.
She leaned down and whispered in my ear.
"Meet me here tonight. Bring a swimsuit,"
I looked at her skeptically, but she just winked, turned on her heel and ran off.
I shook my head.
Strange, but I love her anyway.
I thought to myself.

Sorry if it's a bit depressing at the moment....
