"What are you doing here?" Bradin asked Simon and his aunt.

"You're coming home now," Ava said.

"No," Bradin said, "I'm not."

"Listen to your aunt," Simon said.

"Back off," Bradin said, "Don't tell me what to do."

"You will listen to both me AND Simon," Ava told her nephew, "He will be my husband soon."

"Aunt Ava, why are you trying to break me and Kaitlin up?" Bradin asked. "You thought different last time she was here."

"Things change, Bradin."

"No," he said shaking his head, "You've changed. Since he came into your life, you changed. I don't like it."

"You are coming home now. You spend all of your time with her," Simon said.

"So?" he asked, "She's my girlfriend who I haven't seen in weeks. And, she's leaving again and I want to spend as much time with her as possible until that second that she's gone."

"You two won't last," Simon said.

"Stop budding into my relationship!" Bradin yelled getting in Simon's face, "If you do anything to break us up, I will leave." He backed up and looked at Ava. "I'll leave both of you."

"What's going on?" Kaitlin's father asked as the rest of Kaitlin's family walked out.

"Bradin's not staying for dinner," Ava said.

"Why not?" Lauren asked.

"There are things going on that you are too young to understand," Simon said.

"Tell us," Kaitlin's mother said.

"Our kids have been spending too much time together," Simon said.

"Bradin isn't your child," Kaitlin's father said.

"Whatever. We think that they should spend some time a part."

"They will and already have," Kaitlin's father said, "My daughter is leaving in two days for Spain. If she does well in her races, then she'll move on. They already spent months of their relationship a part. Why are you doing this to them?"

"You don't care that their spending all of this time together?" Simon asked, "What kind of parents are you?"

"Parents who trust their kids," Lauren said.

"Kait," someone said softly. Everyone looked and saw Kaitlin with her forehead on the wall as she cried and Bradin trying to talk to her.

"Sweetie," her mother said running up to her, "Talk to us." Kaitlin turned to everyone and wiped her eyes. "What's wrong?" her mother asked.

She sniffed and said, "After racing, I won't come back."

"What?" everyone asked.

"No one cares that I'm happy with Bradin or he's happy with me. I'll just end it. In my final race, I'll crash and kill myself."

"NO!" Bradin yelled throwing his arms around her tightly, "Please don't. I beg of you. Don't do it."

She covered her mouth as she placed it by his ear and whispered something. She pulled away and looked into his eyes. He looked away from her. She placed her hand on his cheek and moved his head so that he could see his face. He finally looked at her. Her eyes were begging him to agree with what she told him. He nodded and kissed her. She walked off into the house. Bradin turned and walked out the door.

"Is this what you wanted?" Lauren asked Ava and Simon. The two left in silence not caring what Kaitlin's family was feeling.

Later that night, Bradin sat in his room not knowing what to do anymore. His aunt and fiancé were ruining the best relationship he has ever had. He was glad that he and Kaitlin would sneak out at night and be with each other since his aunt wouldn't let them be together. He looked at his clock and saw that it read 9:00 p.m. He got up, opened his window, climbed out, and closed it trying not to make a lot of noise. As he turned around, he saw Jay walking out of his room.

"Where are you going?" Jay asked.

"Please don't tell my aunt," Bradin begged, "My aunt won't let me see Kaitlin and I'm sneaking out every night until she leaves to see her."

"You two mean a lot to each other, don't you?" Jay asked.

"Yes."

"Go on," Jay said, "But, you owe me."

"Thank you," Bradin said as he ran off to the beach.

The beach was quiet. All that you could hear was the ocean water splash on the shore. Bradin stood there looking around for Kaitlin. He didn't see anyone. He decided to sit in the sand and look out at the water as he waited. He could picture him and Kaitlin in the water having a water fight. He smiled as he pictured her tackling him into the water. As he sat there picturing this, he heard music. He shook his head and looked behind him after snapping out of his thoughts. He saw Kaitlin standing by a CD player as she looked at him. He smiled and got up. He threw his arms around her and held her tightly.

"Oh I love you so much," he said.

"I love you, too," she said hugging him back.

He pulled away and held out his hand. "May I have this dance, my lady?" he asked.

She placed her hand in his and said, "You may."

He smiled and restarted the song. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Do you believe what the song is saying?" she asked.

"Right down to the last letter," he said, "What he put in that song fits us perfectly." She kissed his lips softly and placed his head on his shoulder. "When you kiss me," he began, "I never want to stop kissing you. I don't want to leave you. I don't want to stop holding and loving you. I feel like everything around us is gone."

She felt him take her hands from the back of his neck. She picked her head up off of his shoulder to look at him. He placed his hands on her waist, lifted her up, and spun her around several times.

"That was um, random," she said as he put her down.

"I am in love with you, Kaitlin Bailey," he said looking deep into her eyes, "I never want to stop loving you. I want to love you my entire life and death."

"That's forever," she told him.

"I know," he said as he kissed her, "I want to love you forever."

"You're only eighteen though," she said, "Are you sure about everything that you've told me?"

"Never been more sure," he said.
