Arianna's POV

The entire night went by without me getting a bit of sleep. As i laid on my bed, many thought came through my head. Do i still love Brian? Have i let go of the things that happened between us? Why am i running away from him when he tries to speak to me? Why? I felt stupid. I felt like a sore loser that likes to pretend nothing has happened when all the shit had. Except for a game, i lost the love of my life. I love Brian, still do but i can't afford to go back to him because it will still kills me when our relationship ends. That's why i took half a year of my life to travel around. I may act like i am all happy and shit when in fact, every time i see Brian, my hearts begin to break all over again. But i am not going to be self-fish this time and leave. I gotta stay strong.

I know for fact that today we are all going to the beach. Jimmy's idea of 'getting to know each other'. It will be a loooooonnnnnngggg day.

We all met up at my house since it is the closest to the beach and we are all walking there.

At the beach, this is when everything got pretty awkward between Brian and I. Apparently, everyone except for Brian and I wanted to go swim and play like beach volleyball. So i was left alone next to Brian. We sat in awkward silence until Brian spoke up.

"Why, Ari, why?"

I turned to look at him, "why what?"

"Why did you left Huntington, why don't you let me explain myself?"

I was completely speechless. I just want to run away. This is it. I can't always run away from my problems. I want to clear things up with Brian.

"I don't know." Really, Arianna?

Brian didn't reply me but gave me a question look.

"I'm sorry for not letting you explain. But hey, now you got a girlfriend. Be loyal to her. Can't you move on cause I did." I said this, not intending it to be very cold towards him, but it is.

He frowned. "I love Jessie. She's great. But honestly saying, she can never replace you. She is not the one." He paused. "You are."

When he told me i am the one for him, i turned away from his attention even though he can't see through my sunglasses. My eyes started to water up but i refused to cry.

"Well, we can't do anything about it can we?" I asked.

"Arianna, we can get back together. I promised. We will work." He said, sounding very much desperate to have this work. I felt like giving in, yet i am afraid. I am afraid of what will happen. This internal battle is killing me.

"Can't, Brian. We can't." I said, getting off from my spot in the sand and join the gang in beach volleyball.

I wasn't really paying much attention in volleyball since my mind is going thousand miles per hour, and because of this, the ball hit me on my stomach, real hard.

I was escorted by Zacky back to our umbrella spot, and now, i am stuck with Brian again.

Great.

He turned towards me again, "how are you feeling?"

I didn't reply but clutched my hurting stomach.

"that's why you pay attention."

"shut up."

"Well, if you pay attention, you would've avoid the ball."

"You're the fucking problem." i paused. I was about to insult him again when i felt his lips touching mine.

A few seconds later, he pulled away.

I wiped my mouth. I can't believe he kissed me. Yes, i felt the electricity between us, and yes, i admit ok? I love him, still and i am so tempted to kiss him and just get back together, but my mind is refusing to do so while my heart is pushing me to him.

"Why did you do that?" I asked. A bit frustrated yet amazed. Amazed for no reason.

"Just felt like it." He said then getting up to go play volleyball.

Notes

Sorry guys. This chapter is way too short but at least it brought out what i wanted. I actually restarted this entire chapter because it was so crappy.
