I slowly turn my head to see the boy with a pierced lip and blue eyes. His golden blonde hair was peaking out from the front of his gray beanie, and he was wearing a black leather jacket over a plain white shirt. His hands were stuffed deep into the pockets of his ripped skinny jeans. Under his eyes were eye bags which looked like we're caused from lack of sleep.

"Luke?" I say, my voice coming out as a whisper.

His lips curl into a small smile before he walks beside me and sits on the sand, getting into the same position I was in, arms wrapped around my legs.

He stares at the ocean, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. There was definitely some tension in the air, so I was just a bit uncomfortable.

"Stop staring at me, Adten." he smirks, still looking at the ocean. I blush and look away. But butterflies start fluttering in my stomach, hearing him call me 'Adten' again.

"Luke," I start, fiddling nervously with my fingers. "Why are you here? How'd you know I was gonna be here?"

"Well, I didn't actually." he sighs, looking at his black Vans. "I was just as surprised to see you here."

I frown. This was just getting plain awkward.

"Addison..." he starts to say, facing me. I hum in response. "I.." he sighs. "I really missed you." he smiles at me and it's like sparks are flying everywhere. I blush which makes his smile wider.

"I missed too, Luke. A lot." I smile at him. "And I'm sorry. But really didn't lie to you. I would never lie to you, p-"

"Ad, I know you didn't do it." he sighs, looking at the sky which was getting darker and darker as night approaches.

"Oh." I look at my hands. "How did you know?"

"Well, first off, 'ItsCassandraDuh' posted that picture." he rolls his eyes. "the little bish" he mutters. Aww, he knew me so well as to not swear in front of me.

"And lastly, I trust you."

I raise a brow and he stares at me.

"What?" he asks.

I smile at him. A genuine smile, after how many days of faking smiles. I shake my head. "Nothing."

He nods. "I just needed time to be alone you know? I just-" he fixes the beanie on his head. "I needed to think through it clearly."

I smile and nod. We stay silent for a few minutes and the tension was still there. I sigh. It was already dark and I needed to get home.

"Luke, I-" I turn my head to talk to him, but to my surprise, he pushes his lips quite roughly against mine. My eyes widen and it takes me a few seconds to realize what we're doing. Our lips move in sync and it's like all my sadness fades away. I was basically not thinking anymore. His hands reach over to cup my cheeks. I pull off his beanie and tangle my fingers into his blonde hair without thinking. The kiss was short and sweet as I finally pull away. I was thankful for the darkness, because I was sure I was beet red. He rests his forehead against mine.
