She leaned over from where she was laying down and pressed her lips softly against the other girls. She pulled back only slightly to look into her eyes wondering what the other girls reaction was. Opening her eyes, still shocked Alex instinctively brought her hand up to the side of Marissa's neck and brought the girl back down kissing her slowly. The brunette moved her body so she was laying half on half off the blonde, kissing her back.

After a minute she pulled back and laid back down where she had been. "I'm sorry, well not really I was just being polite and yeah I think I'm going to go for a swim in the rain."

As Marissa went to get up Alex grabbed her hand and gently pulled her back down and looked at her, then let go of her hand. "Okay."

Sighing Marissa went to get up again and was again brought back down by Alex who crashed her lips onto the other girls. "I really missed kissing you." She mumbled just before backing away a little. She got a smiles and then leaned forward making Marissa stiffen a little but Alex moved her arm beside the girl and grabbed a bottle of water. "Sorry, all that making out can make a girl thirsty."

Little While Later

The girls had been talking for hours now and eating away at the food that was left in the tent for them. They were just having a good time, not only were they girlfriends but best friends and the summer was their time and in their time apart both had realised this but both were just far to stubborn.

"Seriously Alex who says 'I'm going to go pee like a man now?' honestly." Marissa said through tears of laughter.

And just when she thought she couldn't laugh any harder she was proven wrong. "What I had to go it's called making a joke would you rather I said I'm going to go pee like a bear now?" Marissa just looked at her and started laughing even harder. "That's what I thought because the bears are scary and evil." She mocked.

"Oh shut up Kelly aren't you ever going to get over that I was like 7."

"You were like a little pansy girl, I see nothing has changed."

"Well aren't you just a bloody comedian." Marissa laughed.

Alex smiled in triumph or what she thought was triumph. "Obviously I am since your laughing smarty and they say I'm the blonde clearly that's not the case seeing as though your hair is getting pretty close. All that hair dye get to your brain, oh that's right you don't have one for it to get to."

Marissa stopped laughing and looked at her. "Oh you're a goner for that one babe." Both girls stopped laughing and their banter completely. "Sorry I didn't mean, it just, it just sort of slipped out."

Alex nodded and looked up. "It's fine."

"I'm just going to go." Marissa fumbled nervously with the tent zipper giving Alex the opportunity to speak up, which she took.

"Stop running, why do you always run?" Marissa looked kept trying to get the now stuck zipper open. "Marissa." She turned around, her hands still on the zipper.

"You run just as much as I do Alex." She whispered for a reason unknown to her.

The blonde looked up and stayed quiet, Marissa nodded and went back trying to open the tent. Finally she let her frustration of not being able to get the tent open and what was going on with the two of them get to her. Turning around she took a deep breathe and closed her eyes. "You know this is all stupid, I never meant to cause that big a fight with you but what did you want me to do my girlfriend didn't want anything to do with me or at least that's how it felt. How would that have made you feel? Jodie told me you asked me out in the hospital and that we smoothed things over, look I'm sorry I don't remember I can see that it really hurt you."

"You have no idea how much my heart broke when you woke up and thought we were still broken up." Alex interjected.

"You're right Alex I don't but I still woke up with a broken heart to thinking the one person I wanted to be my side wasn't. The one person who makes me happier than anyone ever has, your not the only one that was hurt by it all Alex. I would give anything to remember to remember hearing that we were okay and going to be okay. This isn't what I want, I never wanted this we spent two years not talking because of what? Stupidity and stubbornness. I won't, I can't do this anymore." Marissa closed her eyes and Alex leaned up on her forearms.

"No one is asking you to Marissa."

"That just hurt so thank you so much Alex, guess you really don't care if I'm around or not, sad thing is it means the world to me when your around and when your not I can barely take it because I don't just like, I, I."

"You what?"

"I love having you around, I love being with you and being able to call you my girlfriend." Marissa turned back around and pulled the zipper up, opening the tent.

She was half way out the tent when she heard the girls soft voice. "I'm just frustrated I really fucked things up didn't I? I never meant to break up with you, it's never what I wanted or been what I wanted. I wish I could take it all back and I wish that you could remember us working things out while you were in the hospital. You mean the world to me and I love you more than I have ever loved anyone or anything and I don't want to be without. Marissa I miss you, miss being your girlfriend and calling you mine. I miss laying on the boat with you and waking up next to you in the morning or meeting up for breakfast and all of the things we do." She paused looking for a reaction on the other girls face who was one again facing her. Looking down she took the girls hand in hers once again. "I just, I just really love you Riss, and I want to be with you I've never wanted anything more. I know things aren't going to be easy I know I hurt you and I'm still dealing with being hurt but I don't want that to stop us."

Looking down at their hands Marissa entwined their fingers. "You're right it's not going to be easy, it's going to be pretty hard but if this is what you really want and are willing to work at it then so am I."

"So you'll come back to me?"

Marissa smiled, "always," before leaning over and kissing Alex. "What do you say we go to our spot go for a swim?"

Alex raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Lead the way lady."
