I wake up the next morning feeling all stuffy, and like I can't breathe. I quickly get out of bed and open the window. I hear Austin groan and I turn around to see him pulling the covers over his head. I walk over to him and rip the covers off his head.

"What's wrong with you grumpy?" I giggle at his cuteness.

"It's so bright" He whines.

"Yeah I know, I kinda opened the windows" I smile and pull the covers away from him.

"Hey give 'em back" He yells.

"Nope" I blow him a kiss before running out of the room with our blanket.

"Shit!" I curse as I nearly trip on my way to Austin's room. Before I could reach it I go flying backwards and hit something hard. Austin and I burst into laughter after falling on the floor. I roll off of him and lay beside him propping my head up with my hand. He copies my actions and smiles at me.

He's so hot.

"Why'd you open the window this morning?" He asks.

"Don't know, I just felt like it" I lie.

My eyes flicker down to his perfect plump lips, and the only thing I could think about was how they'd feel on mine. I see him lean in and I rest my forehead against his.

But of course a knock on the door had to interrupt our moment. I start to get flustered and stumble as I stand up to get the door.

"Hello" I smile at my teacher after opening the door.

"Hi darling, you and Austin must get ready, we will be leaving for the beach soon" She says and leaves.

A huge smile takes over my face as I walk back into the living room to see Austin laying on his back.

"We're going to the beach!" I squeal and pull at Austin's hands trying to pull him up. However, he just had to pull my hands harder making me fall onto him and he wraps his arms around me and lets out a breath.

"Austin" I giggle "I have to go get ready" I poke his cheek.

"But you're warm" He whines with a pout, I push his bottom lip in with my finger.

"Don't pout" I bite my lip.

"Why not?" He asks pushing his bottom lip out further.

"Because" I giggle

'It makes me want to kiss you' My subconscious adds.

"Austin, let me go get dressed" I try to wiggle out of his grip. He finally lets me go and I go into my room to get ready.

As I pull on my bathing suit, I begin to think over everything. Such as, everything with Dylan and now Austin, I don't know what to do. I really like Austin but what if he was just another Dylan and treats me like shit. I'd be devastated if he turned out like that. Before I had even realized tears stared rolling down my cheeks.

Struggles of a female...

A knock on the door interrupts my crying and I sniff "Noah,what's wrong?" Austin asks worried.

"Um nothing" I say quickly. I hear him try to turn the door knob but it's locked.

"Open the door" He says and I unlock the door and walk back over to my bed. Austin follows be and sits me in his lap when he takes a seat onto my bed.

"Tell me what's wrong baby" He whispers. I lay my head in his neck and sniff but don't answer him "Noah, tell me what's wrong so I can fix it" He slowly rubs my back and kisses my forehead.
