A/N: Here you are, Bethany :) haha it's nice seeing our notes from French actually turn into something. :) I hope it's everything you expected xP
And yes, before you ask, it's rated T.
…and it's probably not even deserving of that. So it's clean, I promise.
It's a little hard for me to get in 'Bethany' mindset, sorry :P I'll try my best :)
Love you,

I didn't expect to meet him at the beach. As a matter of fact, I was starting to doubt that I'd ever meet him at all.

I'm going on 20 years old and I still haven't found Mr. Right yet. What's wrong with me?

It's not that I'm ugly. I've been told that I'm quite pretty.

And, I would blame it on my personality, but even that's not that bad.

…So why is it that I've had horrible luck getting into a relationship? Every guy I meet has some other intention.

My friends all say it's 'just not the right time yet.'

But what do they know? All they're ever busy doing is spending time with their guys. I have to admit, it gets pretty lonely watching them all run off with their 'perfect man' while I'm stuck at home watching romance movie after romance movie on the women's channel every Saturday night.
I mean, it's not that I haven't tried. I have. Boy after boy, date after date. None of them did anything for me. They were all the same.

Take Josh, for example.

He was a year older than I was, we started dating my senior year in high school. He had short brown hair and gorgeous green eyes.

We were going on our 3rd month together and then it all came crashing down.

"Bethany. I'm serious. I've never seen anyone more beautiful." Josh leaned across the table and locked eyes with me. "I don't think you realize how much you mean to me."

"Josh." I blushed, looking away shyly.

"I mean it. You're always on my mind."

I allowed myself to quickly glance over at him. He was smiling. God, I loved when he smiled at me. His smile lit up a whole room.

"Wow, Josh… you… you're really something, you know that?" I whispered, meeting his eyes once more.

"Am I?" he asked playfully.

"Yes, yes you are." I smiled back.

"I don't believe you." he muttered, a look of disappointment on his face.

"Why not?" I gasped, feeling worried. He had never acted this way before…

"Well, I want you to show me… how much I mean to you…"

So, I dumped him. My values are more important than saying 'I have a boyfriend' anyways.

I think it was the final straw when my last boyfriend pulled the same thing.

I'm done with men. I'm only focusing on me now.

I cancelled every online dating account I had, every invitation I got to a single's dance, I threw away. I was DONE. It's just not meant to be.

So, Imagine my surprise that hot summer day in June of '10 when I saw him.

Him. The guy of my dreams.

Here I was, at the beach, minding my own business. I was here to get away from boys, not find new ones! But still…

He was perfect. He had shaggy blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes that made me want to melt straight onto the pavement.

When I looked at him, I felt like the world was spinning and he was the only one there with me.

I could almost hear his voice whispering lovingly in my ear, "I love you, Bethany."

In that minute, I very well decided that I was going to make that boy mine. I don't know WHAT I have to do, but I'm going to do it.

…There's only one issue, though… he's walking away.

Ta daaa! Aha like it? Review?

Peace, Love, and All Time Low 3
