Chapter 6
Lyla looked around. She was all alone now the boy had just disappeared one day. It upset her. She was trapped on paradise island all by herself. She's remembered a lot since that boy left and it didn't hurt much to remember. She's remembered everything that she knows of so far. She remembered that fight with Zac. The night before she ended up here. That night she was out for a swim when it was a full moon an the moon's silvery beam struck her as she went in its light. Then she ended up her. But she also remembered this girl. " Who was that girl. The girl with the dark brown hair that went to her shoulders with bangs that curved around her face, silver eyes, and a silver mermaid tail she told me that I can go home when my heart has been loved by someone, and only his heart can save me and I can go home." Lyla said to herself. " But us mermaids don't have a king. Only Merman in the past have kings. This was going to take a while. Lyla thought to herself.
*****Zac*****
Zac had been following the sea weed all day literally 24 hours. Zac took a break and went to go see Evie when he walked into her house she was making out with Harley. A boy who is one year ahead of them. Zac took Evie out in the hall. "Evie? What are you doing you know what its over I'm sorry but I can't date a girl who goes behind my back and cheats on me." Zac said angrily. " I'm sorry Zac its just that when you first became a merman it's just been hard between us. I just didn't want to hurt you. I'm sorry how can I make this up to you." said Evie. " Don't tell our mer secret. And I'll forgive you but we're not going back to being a couple. I just don't feel a spark between us anymore." Zac said. " Yes I agree Zac. And I will keep your secret I owe it to you for cheating on you." Evie said. Zac dove for the ocean then speed swam to a random path. Then stopped when something caught his eye. Hair. Blonde Hair. He quickly went invisible before they saw him he didn't want a human to see him. He swam closer still invisible then when he saw who it was he gasped. It was Lyla! Zac quickly picked her up. She was cold. Zac could swear though that he heard her talking even though her mouth wasn't moving. Zac got to Rita's.
"She has no pulse." Rita said. "I'm sorry Zac she's gone." Rita said again. "NO! NO SHE'S NOT! SHE'S STILL ALIVE! DO SOMETHING! SAVE HER!" Zac yelled at Rita. " I'm sorry Zac. I'll give you some privacy to say goodbye." Rita said. Zac bent down on his knees beside Lyla and took her hand in his. " Lyla I'm so sorry It's all my fault. I'm going to miss you. Please come back to me. I'm so so so sorry. please forgive me." Zac said to her lifeless body. Zac put his hand on the side of her face and the other on her shoulder and started to cry. "Zac is that you" Lyla said. "Lyla? Yes it's me I'm here Your dead how can I hear you?" Zac asked relived he could hear her beautiful voice again.
" Zac I've missed you. I want to come back. I'm dead. I want to be there with you. Only the when someone loves me that I love can save me. Find him so he can save me with his heart. Please Zac. The Sea Oracle told me this. It is the only way." Lyla said. " Wait what? The sea oracle told me only I can save you with my heart but you don't like me like that. So who do you love?" Zac had said. " Ummmmmmmmm….. No one?" Lyla said but Zac knew she knew and wasn't telling him. " Lyla who is it promise I won' t laugh at you about it." Zac said. " I'd rather DIE than tell you! So just go your waisting your time with me." Lyla said. " Okay well tell me all the guys you think are cute." Zac said. " Well then ummmm…. Josh is kinda cute. No really cute. No HOT!" Lyla said. " What he's too weird. You don't want to love him. Pick someone else!" Zac said with a tinge of protectiveness in his voice. As Lyla kept saying other guys names that she thought were cute Zac kept dissing them all. " Zac I've said all the guys I know. All thats left is you. So what about you? Do you love me or whatever? Cuz you sure are dissing all the guys I say are cute. So what's going on? Are you jealous?" Lyla said with a bit of hope in her voice. Zac was confused. Did he love Lyla? He loved it when they touched, and when she says his name and how she says it, and how she worries about him and cares about him, and especially when she smiles at him. He gets butterflies in his stomach every time she smiles. He loves that feeling. " I don't know….. NoI don't think so…." said Zac unsure of himself. Zac leaned down and kissed her cheek and he swore he heard a heart beat from her body. Then it was gone. " I felt you kiss my cheek! But why did you kiss my cheek?" Lyla asked Zac. " It was my way of saying goodbye. We have only 3 minutes until you are gone forever." said Zac. " Okay, then there's something you should know. I think I actually might ne in love with me. So when I die you at least know that. Goodbye Zac." Lyla confessed. Zac sat there shocked. Lyla loved him and he was happy about that for some odd reason. " I think I may love you too. If only we had more time together." Zac said. Then at 5 seconds before she was gone forever Zac lifted her into his arms and kissed her right on the lips. Then Zac felt her kiss him back. Then he pulled away. They stood up. His face was red. " I uh… wasn't expecting you to come back. Or to kiss me back." Zac said with his face getting redder. " You love me…." was all Lyla could say. Zac was so happy she was okay he put his arms around her waist and pulled her into him and kissed her again for a long time. Lylas arms made their way onto his chest as she kissed him back. It felt so right to Zac to have Lyla in his arms and to be kissing each other. They pulled apart and Zac said " Do you want to ummmmm… maybe be my girlfriend….. or something?" Zac said nervously. Lyla snuck a kiss on his cheek real quick. " Yes Zac." Lyla said. Zac picked her up in his arms then sat down in the corner pull of cushions and blankets with Lyla in his lap. Lyla got up and sat down beside him. and she put her head on his shoulder and fell asleep in his embrace.
