It was a hot, summer day. No cloud cover, making the sun beat down ten times as hotter. Sitting next to the pool in her pink polka dot bikini was Skylar Madison. She was enjoying life at that exact second. The heat from the sun was horrible, but the cool breeze coming off of the pool sweeping across her body was constantly changing her body temperature.. It was peaceful and quiet. That is until her sister came flying through.

"INCOMING!" Marcy screamed on the top of her lungs. Before Sky could react, Marcy already zoomed past, bolting towards the pool. Within the next few seconds, Marcy was doing a cannonball into the pool, splashing water everywhere. Sky was awoken fully, now that she was soaked in ice cold water.

As Marcy was resurfacing, Sky got so angry with her eight year old sister, she couldn't hold it in.

"What the HELL is wrong with you, Marcy?!" Sky yelled loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear. She then stood up and stormed inside. She soon regretted yelling so loud.

Her parents soon ran past Sky, barely taking note that she even existed. They ran right towards Marcy, their poor little baby. She was crawling out of the pool, her face full of tears.Her arms were getting suffocated by her My Little Mermaid floaties. As soon as the top half of her body was out of the water, she plopped down on the steaming cement surrounding the pool.

Sky didn't fully acknowledge what she had done. She didn't care about anyone or anything at that second. She just went to her room and slammed the door, trying to forget it all.

Her dog, Bagel, was lying down on her bed as usual. As soon as Sky saw him, her eyes filled with tears and she leaned back on the wall, slowly sliding down to the floor. Bagel jumped down from the bed, coming to lie on Sky's lap. She reached down and laid down her hand, slowly stroking the small beagle's back. She eventually fell asleep, laying her head down on the hard wooden floor.

Then she heard a knock on her door. "I don't want to talk, 'mom'. Go away." and she put an emphasized sarcastic tone to the word mom.

"It's me, Sky." The familiar deep voice came, and not her adoptive mothers.

Sky moved Bagel off of her lap onto the floor. Then she slowly stood up, trying not to step on him. She slowly turned the handle to open the door to annoy Auggie. Opened just a crack, she peered her head out the door to see him. When she saw him, she put her head back in her room, and opened the door all the way. Auggie chuckled at her professionally motioning him in.

"Don't you laugh." Sky's voice cracked while wiping away tears

"I heard you yell at Marcy again" Auggie stated while slowly sitting down on the bed, trying not to awaken the now sleeping dog on it.

Sky walked over to Auggie and looked deeply into his dreamy green eyes. Before she knew what she was doing, she fell to her knees and started sobbing. Auggie, being her best friend, reacted perfectly. He jumped up from the bed and sat next to Sky on the hard floor. He put his arm around her to comfort her. Sky leaned sideways into his shoulder and cried.

After about an hour of tears and nothing else, she got quieter. Auggie thought she was asleep. He picked her up in his arms and placed her on the bed, making sure not to disturb Bagel from his sleep. He leaned into her forehead and gave her a soft kiss so she wouldn't wake up. Before he could sit up off the bed, Sky grabbed his wrist so he couldn't leave.

"Don't leave. Please, Auggie?" Sky sounded like she was speaking gibberish, but being around her enough, Auggie knew exactly what she said. After that, he had no reason to leave. He picked up Bagel from the bed and placed him on the floor. He laid next to Sky in bed above the covers like her and put his arm around her neck. She leaned onto her side so she could look Auggie in the eyes.

"Auggie... I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time." Sky muttered shyly as she blushed

"Out with it woman." Auggie joked. His smile was adorable. The cutest dimples to support the kissable-est lips. They looked so tasty, probably would taste like strawberries.

"Maybe in the morning" Sky winked and turned over

"No, now! You have got to tell me now!" He smiled not quite up to his eyes.

Sky giggled. "I don't think so" he knew she was going to fall asleep this time so he didn't say anything. As soon as he heard her snoring, he got up out of bed and covered Sky up with a light blanket. He went out her bedroom door and to the living room. He lied down on the couch and fell asleep almost immediately,

Auggie woke up to bright sunshine in his face. He looked around with squinted eyes. Sky was sitting next to him on the couch eating cereal. She wasn't watching television, she was watching him sleep. He sat up at the thought and looked into her pale blue eyes to search for something.

It was Thursday so he knew Marcy had swimming and both her parents were at work. He got up quickly and turned on the TV. "You forgot something." he said motioning towards the television playing the Loony Toons.

"You can tell Marcy was watching TV this morning." Sky weakly chuckled out. Her voice was still sore from yesterday.

She reached for the remote and Auggie stopped her. "I think we should watch this." He proudly smiled. He walked over to the couch and sat down next to Sky, where he slept last night.

At first they were both actually watching and enjoying the show. Auggie lost interest and regained interest in Sky's lips. Before he realized he was in a deep concentration stare at her lips, Sky looked over at Auggie. She blushed because she knew he was staring at her lips. A few times she looked back at the TV, but when she glanced back to him, he was still staring.

Auggie soon realized it and leaped out of his gaze. He looked up at Sky's eyes, which were staring at his. There was a short silence where they were just staring. Eventually Sky looked back at the TV like nothing happened.

"Sky..." Auggie said a little more dreamily than expected

Sky immediately turned her head towards Auggie, who was moving closer to her. She felt uncomfortable at first, and then she realized he probably wanted to make sure she was okay, like a good friend. "I'm okay, Auggie."

"It's not that, Sky" He stopped moving towards her and looked down

Sky felt the need to move closer to him, as he felt about her. She slowly shifted toward him. Auggie took her right hand. Sky looked at him playing with her fingers. "What?" she said blankly, as if she had no idea what was going on.

"Well, I've kind of always had this crush." Auggie said, still playing with Sky's fingers.

"O.M.G.! Who is it?!" Sky exclaimed as if she was clueless. She knew what was going on, she just wasn't ready. Like last night, she wasn't ready.

"I was with her last night..." Auggie stated a little disappointed.

"She was in my house?!"

Auggie was getting fed up with her. He knew what she was doing, he just didn't like it one bit. He let go of Sky's hand and wrapped his arm around her. He swiftly placed his lips on hers so he knew she would get it. After the second of shock in Sky, she relaxed and put her arms around Auggie. She actually started to enjoy it. After a few minutes in a passionate kiss, he pulled away.

"It's you, it always has been." He said breathlessly.
