Brendon's POV
• ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ •

As I slowly swim away, I can't help but smile to myself. He was actually gonna come back!

I swim down closer to where the rocks are, knowing of a little pile of rocks I can stay on until the morning, when I would swim back to meet Dallon.

I can hardly contain my excitement and I know I won't be able to sleep all night, I just couldn't wait to see him again. Maybe he would come swim with me, or we could just stay there and talk. As long as I was with him, anything was okay.

I find my way to the rocks, and I swim down to the pile. The rocks were huge, but the very top one was smooth, so it was perfect for me to lay on or sit on.

I pout slightly as I lay on the rock, I never liked the ocean at night. It gets too dark and then you can hardly see, so I have no idea what could be around me at the moment. I curl my tail up and around myself, whimpering softly to myself as I try to become as small as possible.

I just wanna get this night over with.

I refrain from moving my tail, not wanting anything to see me as I remain curled up on my rock, my eyes slowly closing as I let myself relax and eventually drift off to sleep.

*time skip to the next morning*

When I wake up the next morning, I look around and stretch, having forgotten where I was but as soon as I remember, I smile happily and I giggle to myself.

I could see that the sun was already coming up, and Dallon said he'd be there bright and early, so I quickly started swimming back to the spot when I had left him yesterday. I also had to be careful though, cause you never know when the humans come out.

I swim up and let my head come out of the water, looking along the beach to see if I could see anyone anywhere at all.

I find another pile of rocks, and it actually peeks out of the water a little so I can sit on them as I wait for Dallon. I find a comfy place to sit on the rocks, my whole body still underwater but head out of it.

I keep my eyes on the beach, eager to see Dallon again.

After a while I heard something and I looked over to the beach, the noise catching my attention and I slowly submerged myself all the way, so nobody could see me if there was someone besides Dallon there. I didn't want to get caught, I just wanted to see Dallon.

I tried to pull away from the rocks but I can't, and I looked down, finding my tail stuck in between some of the rocks. I whine softly and whimper, because it definitely hurts. I try carefully pulling my tail away, but no matter how much I try I'm still stuck.

As the sun starts to come up more, I finally find the courage to yank myself away, hurting my tail a little in the process but I really try not to thinks about it as I swim up closer to the shoreline, every now and then peeking my head out to see if I could see Dallon anywhere at all.

I sigh softly to myself as I wait, my impatience starting to get to me, and I don't dare look at my tail, scared to see if something bad had happened to it.

I hear another noise and I resurface, only eyes and above sticking out just so I can see. My eyes light up when I see who I had been waiting for, and I swim closer, a little slower most likely because of the small rip in my tail, but I swim to him nonetheless, my heart starting to beat rapidly in my chest, the noise ringing in my ears.

I woke up before the sun was even up, making a pot of coffee. I was so excited that I was going to see Brendon again, I was surprised that I had even slept last night.
