Chapter 19

After we devoured our breakfast, we went to the beach. We were having a good time, and at least the water wasn't so cold. "Um, hey." A boy said. "Hi, do... I know you?" I said. His eyes were sparkling, like the sun. "Nah, I am Eli. I couldn't help but admire your beautiful face." He smiled. As flattered as I was, I couldn't keep the conversation going. It was too good to be true. There isn't such thing as love at first sight..

"I'm sorry, I have to go.. my.. Mom, wants me to.. rest. As you can see my.. shoulder.." I said nervously. "Ah, I see. I guess I'll have to look for you again at the beach.. Bye.." He said with his soft, but manly voice. He cracked after I told him I had to go.. Was that the right choice.. Probably not.. In my mind the whole time, it said, 'I am making a big mistake.'

"Can we go..?" I asked Jill. "How come?" Jill asked. "Well, my shoulder hurts a bit, and I was just .." I said. "Sure thing." She said and smiled. We walked back to our condo, and sat there. Sure, it might have been boring, but I had a feeling I saw someone.. Edd.

How could he come here. I don't understand. Maybe I was hallucinating.. I have no clue. I hope it isn't. I just hope, and pray, cause if it was, the rest of us wouldn't last another week.
