Falling For Your Fins

Sixteen- You could practically hear us breaking each other's hearts

Fiona's P.O.V

It was now 8:54, and I was packing a little bag for tonight. I was meeting Alex by the lake tonight... After all..... It is my last day here... I held back tears.

I didn't want to leave him, really, I didn't... But I seriously had no choice.

If I stayed here... I... I would probably go insane from not being with my kind.

I hoped he would understand...

I slipped on some shorts and a long sleeved knit sweater over that and flipped my hair over to mess it up a bit. I put a candle and a lighter in my bag, I grabbed a towel, and I then got two Dr. Peppers.

I was ready.

Now to get out....

My mom told me to get some sleep for the long journey... but I had to disobey...

I creaked my bedroom door open and looked both ways down the hall.

All clear. I then tip toed to the front door and turned off the alarm. Once it was off I opened the door slowly.... I jumped out onto the porch quickly, and I shut the door silently.

I tip toed my way down through the woods and I finally made it to the lake. I set down our stuff and set up.

I put the candle in the middle of the towel and set the Dr. Peppers down next to it.

I waited.... And finally I heard a twig snap behind me. I twisted around to see Alex.

He smiled and I smiled back.

"What's all this?" He asked me, sitting down across from me.

"Just a little something I put together for us.... I mean.... It is my last day.... Were leaving tomorrow morning," I whispered.

"Then let's make the most of it," Alex cooed, taking off his shirt.

I took off my cover up as well and he picked me up bridal style and set me down at the end of the dock.

I bent my legs and dove down into the water. I heard a splash behind me and I looked at Alex from under the surface.

He held me close and I rested my head on his shoulder.

My legs started to tingle.

My knees were now like magnets, pulling together.

My thighs joined together.

Scale patches started to pop up on my legs.

My calves merged together.

My ankles, then my feet.

My toes stretched out into my fin.

And the shimmering purple scales completed the transformation.

I then noticed Alex's face was turning purple.

I gasped and I pushed him to the surface. He gulped in some air and he smiled sheepishly. I giggled back and I dove down shallowly, flicking my fin up to motion him over.

He got the gesture and he paddled behind me. We twisted and turned through the water, gliding aimlessly through the lake.

I wanted this night to last forever...

The fireflies shone about the shore, the lake water felt soothing and warm, Alex was here, and I felt comfortable in my scales for once.

I wanted him to come with me so bad. I wish there was a way to take him with me.

But there isn't... Were different and I can't change that.

I then laid on the surface of the lake and Alex did the same, sort of struggling to keep afloat.
I smiled.

"Sorry... When it comes to swimming, I'm a bit out of practice." He admitted, treading water.

"That's okay. As long you're here," I whispered back.

Alex came closer and I treaded water. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck.

He leaned in, and I leaned in.

The kiss was about to happen.....

I then heard a little boat coming our way.

"Go under!" I whisper yelled, ruining the moment. We went underwater and I was so thankful for the night sky, covering up my red, embarrassed face.

When we surfaced, Alex laughed.

*********
He ended up getting out and I propped my elbows up on the dock ledge, sipping my Dr. Pepper.

"I'm really glad I could've seen you one last time," Alex said, not making eye contact.

"I don't want to go," I whispered back.

"I don't want you to leave," Alex looked at me finally with teary eyes.

I gazed at him and he gazed at me.

It was quiet.

So quiet you could practically hear us breaking eachother's hearts.

"I'm sorry," I finally said.

"It's okay, Fiona. You deserve to be out there," he replied.

"No, really... I want to stay with you but..." I tried again.

"I won't let you. You need to be free..." He sighed.

I nodded.

"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" He asked randomly.

"Uh... Like six in the morning," I replied.

"Good to know," he said.

"Why?" I questioned.

"No reason..." He said playfully.

I rolled my eyes and smiled.

He smiled back.

And that's how the evening ended.

************
I'm sorry it's depressing....
