"You've got every right, to a beautiful life."

-Selena Gomez

Nina looked to her right and saw her older step brother Mick, playing some video game, then to her left and saw her view from the car window. Mostly trees and other cars and stuff. She looked at her lap and saw her notebook.

No. She won't. But she really wants to! Ugh, that tan colored notebook was mocking her. It was as if it was saying, Write in me! I know you want to! But, it was not going to happen. If you wrote, she would get nauseous and puke all over Mick again! He would kill her. And she really didn't need that. Her 13 year old mind was big enough to comprehend that Big 15 year old brother vs. Small 13 year old sister would not end well for the sister. She needed to get her mind of the writing.

She gently placed the notebook in her backpack, to be brought on the airplane with her, and looked over at Mick again. She was excited to visit Florida, but she wasn't happy about flying next to him. Not that he didn't like flying, he did, he just isn't very good at keeping still. And controlling his complaining. And controlling his need to yell at the video game when he was the one who failed.

Boys.

Her step father pulled up at the airport, and immediately complained about how there was no parking.

She smiled. He step parents were the best she ever had. Well, she wouldn't know her real parents died when she was four month old and her gran died when she was a year old, so they were the only parents she'd ever known. She didn't mind. Sure, it would have been nice to have known her birth parents. She had no clue how her accent turned out American…

She shook her head; she didn't need to think about that.

"Stupid son of a-!" Mick yelled before being interrupted my mom and daddy.

"Mick!"

"Sorry," he sighed.

She giggled at the look on his face.

"Shuddup." He mumbled pressing more buttons on his video game.

Suddenly his phone beeped, indicating a text message.

"Who is it?"

"Nina, not that it's any of your business but it's Fabian." He looked at Nina with his blue eyes, annoyance clearly notable.

"Oh."

It was no secret that Nina fancied Fabian. But only a little! But, that was a long time ago (when she was 6 years old to be exact) and he had moved away.

But, now they were about to get on a plane together. Their parents were good friends and they wanted to spend time together. They were meeting at the airport.

"What did he say?" Nina blurted.

"He just got there." Mick mumbled, but it sounded more like, "Be just bought bear."

"Huh?"

"HE JUST GOT THERE!" Mick burst, sending Mario off the edge and therefore losing a life.

"Shit!"

"Mick!"

"Sorry."

"Oy."

Nina shook her head again, hearing Mick's phone go off.

"Nines, can you get it? It's only Fabian and I'm down a life thanks to you."

Nina groaned, picking up his phone and reading the text.

Fabian: The line is friggin long mate.

"He says the line is long, what should I say?"

She couldn't help but hear her father mumble some expletives of his own from the driver's seat upon hearing her comment.

"I dunno," Mick said, "Just say it's you and answer how you want."

Nina sighed and returned to the text.

Mick (Nina): Hey, it's Nina. Mick's mad that he lost a life (not my fault whatever he says) and told me to respond. How long?

Did she sound flirty? She did, no she didn't. OMG, she did, no wait… Ugh! Oh my god he responded.

Fabian: Oh hey Nines. Haven't heard from you in a while. Still walk around the house in a tutu? And VERY long.

Mick (Nina): NO! How do you remember that?

Fabian: I remember everything, haha.

Mick (Nina): I happen to remember you ran around YOUR house in a superman cape *insert smirk here*

Fabian: wow, you learned to play dirty Nines.

Mick (Nina): Learning from the best. And by the best I mean Mick.

"Okay, give." Mick said, yanking the phone as she hit send.

Mick: I'm back man.

Fabian: Oh great it's the devil.

Mick: Shut up mate. It is bad enough I have to spend a week with you.

Fabian: What? I'm only stating the obvious!

Mick: Git, where are you anyway.

Fabian: Still last on line. My parents said they were going to save you guys a spot in line, but we might not have to by the looks of it.

Mick: Funnn. I hate airports.

Fabian: I hate them too.

Mick: Nina's such a git, she actually likes airports.

Fabian: Why?

Mick: Cuz she's weird.

Fabian: It is not very nice to make fun of your younger sister Mick.

Mick: Shuddup

Fabian: You shuddup!

Mick: I didn't say anything!

Fabian: Git.

Mick: My dad just parked. We r gonna be there in a few and my dad's pissed off that I'm texting instead of helping w/ luggage.

Fabian: Serves you right! See ya!

Mick: Bye.

Mick stood near the car rocking back and forth from his heels to the tip of his toes. He did hate airports. Just the feel and over crowdedness. It was like everyone in the world was in the same place at once. It drove him crazy.

"Mick, can you help?" my dad asked.

"Yeah sure." Mick sighed, grabbing his luggage from the trunk and tugging it out.

"Oww Mick!" Nina yelled, Mick realizing that his luggage never hit the ground, only Nina's foot.

"Sorry!"

"You seriously need to watch where you throw!" Nina growled.

Mick began to mumble some expletives again and popped the handle to his rolling luggage. He through his backpack over one shoulder, hitting his mum in the process. She eyed him with a disapproving glance.

Nina sighed as she watched Mick whack their mom with a luggage. She rolled her eyes and rolled out her own luggage. She tugged along next to Mick who was looking at his shoes with great concentration as he walked.

"Hey Nines?"

"Yes, Mick?"

"Is my left foot smaller than my right?" he asked.

"Is that what you've been staring at?" Nina's great blue eyes went wide.

"Yes."

"You know Mick, I wouldn't know. I don't spend my time looking at your feet and debating whether one is bigger than the other!" she snapped.

"Sor-ry." Mick groaned.

Nina rolled her eyes for what felt like the billionth time that day.

This was going to be a long week.

Fabian stared at the long line ahead of him. This was going to be a long day! He looked toward the entrance again trying to spot his friend and give him something to-do. But, no. A cop walked in instead.

He yawned, a clear sign of his tiredness. It was 5 am, he hadn't had anything to eat; and therefore zero energy, and he was super bored. It wasn't like there was anything to do in an airport with a dead PSP in his left pocket. He had to charge the thing when he got to the gate.

He looked at the entrance. Still no Mick. Just a girl with a rolling luggage. But Fabian wasn't interested in the luggage, more in the girl. Her beauty was breath-taking. Her hair was light brown and a bit frizzy, pinned back with bobby pins. He wasn't very far away from the entrance and could see her sparkling blue eyes. She wasn't very tall, more average. She looked up, her eyes meeting his. She smiled and gave him a wave, turning around and ushering someone in.

Mick?

Whoa, whoa, wait a second. If the guy she was ushering in was Mick… then the pretty girl was…

…Nina?

Nina, the same 6 year old girl who walked around in a tutu and sometimes mispronounced his name (according to her it was Fabiams). But now she was… older. She was just…

…Nina?

This was driving him mad! The last time he had seen her she was 6 years old and now she was this girl who was older and pretty and just…

…mesmerizing.

No way was that her.

He shook his head. It wasn't Nina! Mick would have told him if his sister was that gorgeous! They had seen each other throughout the seven years and he never mentioned it. Mick must have brought a friend along or something! Maybe Nina was behind him or still in the car or something.

Mick walked over to Fabian and gave him a fist bump.

"Hey mate," Mick smiled.

"Hi Mick." Fabian greeted, then gestured to the girl, "Who's your friend?"

"She's not my friend," Mick looked confused, "That's Nina."

Shit.

"I thought you recognized me," Nina looked slightly offended, "I waved to you, didn't you see me."

"I saw you," Fabian assured her, "I just… you look really different."

"It's been seven years Fabian. People do change." Nina assured him.

"Right," Fabian sighed, "Is it hot in here?"

"Airports are always hot." Mick mumbled.

After getting passed the never-ending check in line, going through security, and spending 5 minutes seated at the gate Fabian managed to get over what he began to refer to as 'the new Nina'.

"Hey guys," Nina began standing from her seat, "I'm gonna hit the store over there to get a magazine anyone wanna come?"

Mick stood up immediately claiming he needed a chocolate bar and that if he was going, Fabian was too.

The three of them walked to the store closer to the gate and Nina went over to the magazines. She picked up People, Seventeen, and Teen Vogue.

"Aren't you too young to be reading a magazine intended for 17 year olds?" Fabian asked her.

She smirked, "You obviously know nothing about magazines because if you did you would know that you don't need to be 17 to read Seventeen."

"My mistake," Fabian rolled his eyes picking up the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Nina scoffed, "And you question my choice in reading material?"

"Come on, this is actually interesting." Fabian assured her, "Those," he indicated to her magazines, "Are pure rumors, articles about how guys are idiots and don't treat girls right, and how to dress for your bra size."

Nina rolled her eyes, "I know perfectly well how to dress for my bra size already thankyouverymuch."

Fabian rolled his eyes right back at her, "Clearly."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I- uh, I mean, I uh…" he stuttered as she placed her hands on her hips smiling.

"I think that mean that you were checking me out Fabian Rutter." She smiled again.

"No! I wasn't… I mean I was... but… oh god, help me."

"Whatever you say," she smirked, "But tell me." She picked up the magazine in his hands, "Do you think I qualify for these prestigious pages?"

"I-I-I-I-I…" Fabian continues stuttering.

"Of course," Nina smiled again, "It's not like you'd know."

Nina walked away to pay for her magazines and left Fabian wondering if she had packed a bikini for the trip.

On the plane later, Mick sat on the aisle seat with Fabian next to him. When Nina entered the plane she paled.

"Mick, you know how this goes yet you do it every time." Nina crossed her arms, letting her big blues eyes do their magic.

"Nina," Mick sighed, standing from his seat, "You are really annoying."

"What's going on then?" Fabian asked as Mick planted his butt in the window seat.

"Nina has coughsophobia."

"Mick," Nina hissed, "For the ten millionth time, its claustrophobia not coughsophobia!"

Fabian laughed at Mick's idiosity. He turned to Nina, who was now next to him.

He looked at her, who was going through her bag and grabbing her recently purchased copy of Teen Vogue.

Fabian watched with great interest as she read line after line and occasionally widening her eyes at what she read. She looked up slightly once, rolling her eyes at something.

"What's that!" Mick grabbed the magazine from over Fabian. He flipped some pages and stopped at one, looking confused.

"Fabian, you're the smart one." He claimed, "What the heck are these?" Fabian looked at what he was looking at and soon was just as confused as Mick. "I'm not sure."

"What is it?" Nina asked looking over their shoulders. She saw what they saw and laughed, "Good luck figuring that out."

"Wait, wait there's a name at the top!" Fabian shouted, "U- by Kotex Tampons. What the hell is a tampon?"

Nina was officially cracking up.

"I don't know," Mick said, "But I saw the same box in Nina's carry on."

Both boys turned around and eyed Nina's bag, who was still slightly laughing. She finally came to her senses and realized what Mick had just said. "Wait, how do you know what's in my bag?"

"I went through it looking for a candy bar."

"Are you serious? You have some serious problems." Nina rolled her eyes.

"So what are they?" the question came from Fabian's mouth and Nina looked at him with curious eyes.

"Neither of you has any idea what these are?" she asked. They both shook their heads. Nina scoffed and grabbed her magazine back, leaning back in her seat.

"I got it!" Mick yelled, noticing a woman passing by in the aisle, "Excuse me ma'am. What is a tampon?"

The woman scowled at him and walked away.

"Oh-kay." Mick sighed, "Oh I know! I'll Google it!"

Mick took out is smart phone, Google-ing 'tampons.'

Nina watched with anticipation as he got his results.

"What the fuck!"

Nina was dying of laughter.

"Who the hell would do that?" Mick stared in shock at his screen.

"Lemme see!" Fabian yelled, grabbing Mick's phone. Nina was still laughing as he read what was on the screen as well.

He looked pale as he mumbled, "Holy crap."

"That's crazy!" Mick yelled.

Soon they were taking off and fully in the air. Mick watched as Nina got up to use the bathroom and eyed Fabian.

She had left her bag behind.

Mick reached for it and fumbled through it until he found the tampons.

"What are you doing?" Fabian hissed.

Mick broke the seal and opened a single tampon. He looked at the purple plastic coating and then pulled the end as the box instructed. It clicked and Mick looked awestruck.

"Now what?" he mumbled reading the next step. As he read, he pushed the end up and saw a cotton rod like thing come out.

"Bloody hell." He mumbled.

Nina came back rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag back, "You are both so immature."

"Does it hurt?" Mick asked looking down at his groin, "Should I go try?"

"No you should not!" Nina yelled grabbing the tampon from him before he did something he would regret.

"But, mom. Why do I have to share a room with, them?" Nina narrowed her eyes at the two boys who were currently poking the water in the fountain at the hotel's lobby.

"Because dear, your father and I have our own room, as do Mr. and Mrs. Rutter, and we can't afford to have four rooms. Besides, it's an adjoined room! You can shut the door and it'll be like they aren't even there."

So that's how it was. Her parents go their own room and she's stuck with tweedle dumb and tweedle tampon.

Either name works for either both boys.

So she trotted up to her room, where they boys had head a few minutes after nearly falling into the fountain. Noticing the boys staring at her when she entered the room, she clarified that she'd be staying in the other room. But Mick argues that he already called dibs.

"Mick, I'm not sleeping with Fabian for the next week. Move. Out. Now."

Mick, noticing the stern tone of Nina's voice and not wanting to be at the top of her shit list, left with his bags.

"Thank you." Nina said, then placed her suitcase on the ground and began to unload.

About a half hour in she slipped on her head phones and listen to Glee. Faithfully came on and she sang along.

She had made it through Faithfully, No Air, Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Last Friday Night, and I Kissed a Girl before Mick came in and pulled her headphones out.

"Mick!"

"Nina, who sings that song?" Mick asked.

"Glee."

"Please," Mick sighed, "Do the world a favor and let them sing it."

She could hear laughing from Fabian for the other side of the room. Nina yanked her headphones from Mick and places them back listening in silence.

Fabian made his way down to the pool with Mick and Nina. Their parents were going on some tour that they could care less about. Fabian and Mick took off their shirts and Nina removed her shorts and shirt as well. Fabian couldn't help but stare.

"Fabian, you're drooling." Nina laughed walking passed them. Yeah, she definitely qualified for the Swimsuit Issue. He silently thanked the person who invented the bikini.

"I'm going on the water slide, who wants to come?" Mick asked, pointing toward a slide where you need a tube to ride.

"I'll go." Nina and Fabian said simultaneously.

"Cool."

When they got to the line, Mick picked up a single tube but only doubles remained.

"I'm not riding with either of you!" Mick claimed, "You two can go together."

Nina shrugged grabbing the double tube. "Here," Fabian said, grabbing the tube, "I got it."

Nina threw him and award winning smile, "Thanks."

They made their way through the line rather quickly. A man went down alone about ten people ahead of them and when Nina heard him scream a knot began to form in the pit of her stomach.

"Are you okay?" Fabian asked, placing a calming hand on her shoulder. Nina faced him and nodded, but heard another scream and winced.

"You sure?"

She shook her head, "I guess I am a little scared."

"Don't worry," Fabian said enveloping her in a hug, "I'll be right here okay."

Nina nodded against his chest and Mick cleared his throat.

"Okay, lovebirds. I call first." He claimed.

"Fine by me, Fabian?" Nina said.

"Fine." He agreed.

Mick went down the slide and just to freak Nina out he began screaming bloody murder and yelling, "Holy crap!"

Nina shut her eyes as she placed herself in the front of the tube and Fabian behind her. She placed her hand on a handle and Fabian, noticing her nervousness, placed his hand on top of hers. A million tiny sparks flew through her hand and up her arm, sending them to her heart. She took a deep breath and was sent down into as sea of darkness.

At first, she was terrified. But then it became fun. The slide went through a sprinkler that stopped, then started again, and Nina made it out without getting soaked by it. She turned toward Fabian who was drenched by the sprinkler and laughed. He began to laugh too.

"Having fun?" Fabian asked with a smile as the slide went down a small slope.

"Yeah." Nina laughed, "Thanks for helping me." She noticed his hand was still on hers. He noticed too, and began to move her grip from the handle to hold her hand.

"Anytime." He told her.

The slide was going down a path that would lead them to the lazy river where they would exit whenever they wanted.

He intertwined his fingers in hers and smiled.

"You have grown up so much." He whispered, "I saw you and I didn't know it was you."

"You have too," she admitted, "I always knew you as Mick's friend who I had a crush on."

"You had a crush on me?" he smiled, trying to get closer to her.

"Did I just say that out loud?" she blushed, looking down at the blue and white tube.

"Yeah," Fabian told her grabbing her waist and pulling her toward him, causing the tube to tip over.

Nina emerged from underwater without seeing Fabian. She looked around, but didn't see him. She was worried, until someone came out from under her lifting her out of the water, bridal style.

"What are you doing?" she laughed.

"I'm bringing you to a chair," he smiled, "To make sure I didn't hurt you."

He brought her over to one of the plastic chairs and placed her on it, wrapping her in a towel.

He gripped her shoulders and looked at her, pretending to check for any sign of injury.

"You seem to be okay," he smirked, tickling her sides.

"Stop it!" she squealed, grabbing his hands to stop him from tickling her. He pulled his hands away and tightened the towel around her.

"What did you expect when you saw me?" Nina said going back to the topic, after a moment of silence.

"I honestly don't know," he admitted, "But I never expected you'd be so beautiful."

Nina smiled and blushed, "I'll take that as a compliment."

"I, em, know you're still young. You're only thirteen." He told her.

"Almost fourteen," she interrupted, "My birthday is the seventh. In two days."

"So, is it okay," Fabian asked sliding closer to her, "If I kissed you?"

Nina was shocked to say the least. Here in front of her was an amazing guy and she was pretty much a loser at school. She had like, one friend.

It felt like a decade later when she nodded and he leaned closer to her. She closed her eyes and felt his lips brush against hers. The kiss got deeper and she grabbed the back of his neck and leaned back on the chair. They pulled apart for a moment, both of their eyes still closed, and smiled. They then began kissing again, more passionate then before.

At first it was amazing, than it was just pure heaven to both of them. So it was like hell when they had to pull away.

With Nina's hand still on his neck they started into each other's eyes.

"If there's one thing I'll never forget about you," Fabian whispered, like if someone heard them they'd both die, "It would be your eyes."

Nina opened her mouth to respond but they both heard a low whistle and turned toward the noise.

Standing in their wake was a smirking Mick, his arms across his chest. Fabian quickly jumped off of Nina, who sat up and asked, "How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know that Nina likes to make out with shirtless guys and I Fabian likes girls in bikinis."

Nina pushed Fabian further off the chair.

"I'll just leave you two alone then," Mick smiled deviously, "I'm gonna go on the slide again, if you wanted to know."

He walked away and Nina looked toward Fabian.

"We have two choices here," Fabian smiled, "We can go on the slide or I can check you for more injuries."

Nina looked around and gave her answer by smiling and laying back down on the chair.

They began kissing again, hoping that Mick would ride a few extra times.

Mick laughed to himself as he looked down from the height of the slide. He could see Nina and Fabian making out from here.

He went down the slide eight more times, but then got bored and went to find the lovebirds.

He found them in the pool, Nina on Fabian's shoulders. He laughed; jumping in the pool and purposely scaring Fabian, making them both fall backward.

"Mick, what was that for?" Fabian said laughing a little as he reached down to help Nina up, "Are you okay?" he asked her as she nodded.

"Aww, so sweet." Mick smiled at them, "I just wanted to let you know that I got a date for later. So you guys have the rooms, to yourself."

"Fine." Nina shrugged, rubbing her arm.

"Are you sure you're alright Nines?" Mick asked making Fabian face her.

"I just hit my arm when I fell. That's all." She sighed.

"Come here." Fabian smiled letting her envelope in his arms. She cuddled close to his chest, so his delight and hers.

"Oh-kay," Mick said, "So, you guys want to go on the rapids?"

Fabian nodded and Nina looked a bit hesitant.

"You'll be okay," Fabian assured her.

They all went to the rapids, getting a boat for the three of them. The boat for three was actually just an inflatable dingy for the attraction, but it was good enough for them. The hopped in, riding the calm waves until the actual rapids began.

"So what exactly do you do on rapids?" Nina asked, sitting next to Fabian, who was next to Mick.

"They jerk you around and you could possibly fall out, get lost, drown and die." Mick smirked.

Nina's eye balls became the size of basketballs and Fabian put his arms over her shoulders.

"Why do you have to do that?" Fabian asked.

"Cause it's too damn easy." Mick laughed.

"Trust me you'll be fine," Fabian soothed.

Nina nodded as the rapids began to get rough. Fabian could feel her arm grasp his wrist, and moves her hand firmly in his.

Mick stands at the end of the boat and yells, "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!"

Suddenly the boat hits a particularly large rapid, sending Mick flying off the edge.

"Fuck!"

Nin and Fabian laugh on the boat and Nina smiles at her step brother, "We should help him."

"Dude, you are head over freaking heals for my sister." Mick laughed as he towel dried his hair, getting ready for his date.

"So?" Fabian responded, slipping on a white shirt.

"So, you do realize that you won't see each other after the vacation right? You go to that boarding school and Nina goes to public school in a whole other city." Mick points out.

"I know, but what's meant to be will always find its way. Right?"

Mick shook his head at the smarter boy, "My date is Nina's age actually. Her name is Amber. Sexiest thing ever. Blonde, tall, blue eyes, nice boobs. She's the total package."

"Good for you." Fabian sighed.

"So, is she your girlfriend yet?" Mick asked.

"No," Fabian sighed, "I don't think she would want to be. I mean, what girl would want a relationship that would end in a matter of a week."

"Who says it would end?"

"Long distance relationships don't work. That's life." Fabian said.

"So you're saying you don't want to be with her." Mick smirked.

"I do! It's just… do you see us working out? Really Mick? She's young and your sister and it's just never going to work."

Nina stepped from her shower and heard yelling from the other side of the door.

"I do! It's just… do you see us working out? Really Mick? She's young and your sister and it's just never going to work."

Fabian. We won't work out. Young.

She knew it was too good to be true. She wiped a stray tear, knowing that she shouldn't dwell on this. She wouldn't. They were never dating anyway. She just would have to forget about him.

She blow dried her hair, put on a nice dress and walked through the door to the main room to leave the hotel room.

"Where are you heading so dressed up?" Nina turned to see Mick smirking.

"I, um, when I was at the snack stand and I met a guy. He said he would be at the party on the main floor so I was going to… go." She lied.

"Why? I thought you liked Fabian." Mick pointed out.

"Well I don't! I'm younger, the guy I met is my age! We wouldn't work out Mick!" Nina said trying to convince him and herself at the same time.

"Fine, have fun." Mick sighed.

Nina walked from the hotel room, dialing her best friend's number.

"Mara? I really, really need to talk to you." She said as she began to cry.

"Hey, Mick where's Nina?" Fabian asked as he left the bathroom.

"Mate, I just talked to her." Mick sighed, "She met some guy and she's going to meet him at the party downstairs. She doesn't like you as much as I thought."

Fabian went blank. As soon as he heard that he thought his world was crumbling down.

And it was in a sense.

Because Fabian's belief in love ended that day. A switch inside him flipped and he would never be the same again. He felt broken inside. Anger grew stronger in him and it over powered the love in his heart. All the warmth turned to ice.

If only Fabian hadn't said what he said that day. Maybe things would be different now. But there would be no story here if he hadn't said those words. Because what Fabian started was a much bigger than anything we've ever known. He started a big problem. But problems help stories don't they?

Anyway, you want the story don't you? Well, let me give you a piece of information to store for later.

This was only the beginning.

I'm baaaaacccckkkk! Yay, so I HAVE to give up One and Only because I got a review saying it was similar to another story. So yeah, but here is a new story!
