"WOOHOO!"

Uncle Lou runs into the water as fast as a bullet ripping his shirt off in the process. His wife of a year, Eleanor scowls him as she picks up his shirt. Uncle Niall joins Uncle Lou in the water but entering in a more civil manor. His fiancé, Maddie smiles looking at her Irish boy. Aunt Katrina and Uncle Harry are laying under a tree in the shad on a towel. Uncle Harry throws his head back laughing at something Aunt Katrina says. I've always loved it when Uncle Harry laughed; his eyes close a little as he full out smile with the dimples I'd kill for. Aunt Katrina smiles at Harry as he kisses her forehead and gets a picnic basket out to make their lunch. Uncle Liam and Aunt Danielle are in the sand making sand castle. I can't help but feel jealous of everyone who has someone but me.

 Grow up Tori your only 7.

 Shut up mind!

 Last, but not least, Daddy and Mommy are walking down the beach holding hands and eating ice cream, leaving me alone again.

Don't get me wrong; I try to give Daddy and Mommy as much time together as possible since I'm such a handful. I put on a poker face when I get lonely for Daddy and Mommy.

I hope Daddy and Mommy have that baby they were talking about. If it's a boy I want to name him Mason. If a girl, then Rose.

No I haven't been ease dropping on their conversations at all...

I drown out my thoughts as I go into the ocean. I inhale the salty scent of the ocean. I curl my toes in the sand giggling at the feeling of it touching my skin. The sun feels good on my pale skin.

Such a beautiful day.

I grab a blue bucket from the sand and start to make a sand castle, adding pretty shells and seaweed to it. My dark curls starting sticking to the back of my neck annoying me so I decided to go into the water. I go in neck deep into the water, enjoying the cool water on my skin. When a wave comes out of nowhere and crashes on me.

I black out for a second and blink and few times underwater, my eyes burning. I'm disordered and can't tell where to go. I've always been tiny. My tiny lungs are giving out. I can't breathe.

Goodbye cruel world!

Just then I see someone above me swimming down to me. They get a tight grip on my arm and I notice that they have big hands immediately. Even if my eyes burn I see the boy is about my age.

We break the surface and I gasp for air. I start coughing as the boy grabs my legs and guides them to go around his waist. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and look up to see I got at least 10 feet out.

"You don't have to carry me back," I wheeze as the boy swims hard toward land.

"I know but that's what a man would do and I am a man," the boy says determined. I hang on tighter to the boy as we swim toward land. Once we reach land the boy drops me on the sand then sits in front of me breathing hard.

"Thank you," I say hugging the boy. I was going to back away but the boy only holds me tighter to his small chest.

"I love you!" He blurts out causing me to blush for the first time. "You’re so beautiful and cute." He pauses as he moves one of my curls out of my face. "I'm going to protect you. I promise I will! Probably not now, but when I get to be a big man I will!"

Then the boy steals my first kiss.

I look deep into his intense blue eyes before he runs away.

I bring my small hand up to my tingling lips as butterflies form in my stomach.

"Tori what's wrong love?"

I look up to see Uncle Harry staring down at me.

"Um... I... Uh-"

Uncle Lou tackles Uncle Harry to the ground before I can reply.

I stare off to where the boy ran to, praying I'll see him again.
