-Serena's POV-

The time on my watch says 7:30 AM. Then I realize my surroundings. I am sitting under a willow tree with my honey blonde hair flowing to either side. My eyes are red and sore, and I don't know why. The only thing I remember was something about Calem, Ash, and Bonnie. Bonnie. My life is a mess. 

I pick myself up and go to meet Calem at the cafeteria. He looks at me weird before I realize I'm covered in dirt. I go up to my room to change and take a shower. 

After my shower, I go to my wardrobe and pick out clothes. While looking for a suitable shirt though, my hand brushes something at the bottom of my drawer. I pick it up and realize it is a photo. I have forgotten about the photo since I haven't looked at it since I came to this school because we stay in the same dorm all of the years.

The picture is of a boy and I laying on a hill near a lake, watching the night sky and the stars, while fireflies danced above us. The photo was taken by my mom, who sat behind us about 20 m away, spying on us, so the photo only captured our hair and the sky. His jet black hair mingled with my honey blonde hair and we looked so peaceful together. As if the night sky could blow away our worries, leaving us peaceful and happy. As if.

I think of the day I had to go. I was so sad. I was devastated. More then that. My first true friend. My first crush. My first everything. The list goes on and on. And then the memories start to come back.

June 28th, the first day of camp. I was lonely and afraid. I ran into the woods, but I ended up tripping and got lost. He saved me. I will forever be grateful. I remember the words he said. "Never give up til it's over!" He taught me that day as we made our way back to camp. 

July 1st. We were going to play in the lake. I was scared to jump in, so he pushed me in. I screamed, "Cold!Cold!Cold!" and pulled him in the lake with me. We had fun playing, and when we had to get out we were sad.

July 4th, the Fourth of July. Our counselor prepared hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner, as we prepared for the fireworks display. I cuddled with him as we looked up and watched the fireworks go off. It was one of the best days of my life.

July 7th. I was sad because I lost my Pikachu plushie. He taught me that it is just a plushie, and to not freak out over the little things. Shame I ended up not listening to his lesson after camp. I never got the chance to tell him that it was in my bag the whole time. 

July 10th. This was the last full day of camp. I was so sad, I didn't want him to go. He told me that we would meet again, and never forget each other. We lied down and gazed at the stars and fireflies in the night sky.

July 11th. We were both in tears, knowing our days in camp had come to an end. The last thing that I remembered him saying was, " 'Til we meet again, honey."  I remember blushing furiously as I got into the taxi to go back to the airport.

These were some of the memories I had and there were much, much more. I feel so guilty. I forgot about him, and never remembered his name. I just hope we meet again. He never knew my name though, and always called me honey which I found adorable. He made me happy. Truly happy.

Then I felt guilty. What have I become? I became a monster, and if he saw me before today, what would he think of me? What if I have met him, but not realized it? I need to change, I don't even know how I became this way. I start to cry, but I know he wouldn't want me to cry. He told me to never give up until it's over. I love him for that, I love him to death. 

-End of Chapter 9-

Ok guys, I need your help! Should I make Lillie and Ash date or make a reason why they can't date. Just remember, this is an Amourshipping story and Lillie will get eliminated, let's put it one way or the other. The book will still be long either way, but with Ash x Lillie, it would be longer and more brutal. Help me decide guys and I will see you in chapter 10!
