I had to hand it to her though She knehat she was doing, and if her ai

Bitch

I looked away, and restedto last an entire week, but wouldn’t leaving mean that Stella had won?

Not really, I realized

She’d already won

She had Reid

The water moved next to me, and I looked to the side just as Kennedy stopped next to me Her blonde hair was piled up on top of her head and her dark purple bikini ht," she co you want to talk about?"

"Not really," I replied "Notabout I’m afraid"

More laughter ca to turn around Kennedy looked over her shoulder, and let out an annoyed groan "Can she be any more of an exhibitionist? God, she’s such an attention whore"

I didn’t say anything I didn’t want to turn in their direction and see Stella having fun with Reid

God, I was so pathetic I was starting to piss myself off with the whole ‘woe is me’ routine It had to stop

Sadly, I could only think of one way to do that

Cut the few ties I had left keeping me tethered to Reid

I had to put our lifetime of memories we’d made into a box, and keep them there, at least until it didn’t hurt so nore them," I finally said "She’s not worth it"

"That’s different," she argued "Stella is threatened by you because you hed "I fucked up any chance I had with Reid, and now he’sto cover up what he feels about you by wasting his ti He’ll wake up eventually, but until then you shouldn’t allow Stella’s petty attea"

I was about to respond when Kennedy was pulled underwater She sputtered, and spun around to slap Dane, but he dodged her hand, and pulled her against hi to Jade!" She tried to sound annoyed, but one smile from him and she turned to putty in his hands

"Mind if I stealdown at irls had fawned over, but he was very much enamored with my best friend, whicha dick

"Sure," I said "I was about to head up anyway I’ out with us if you want? I swear Dane will behave"

Dane chuckled, and nipped at Kennedy’s throat "I can’t promise that, sweetheart"

I couldn’t help but sh, and I knew they loved each other

"It’s fine, I’ll just go up, take a shower and cli?" Asked Kennedy She squeezedme she was here if I needed her
