i lifted my top over my head and took my shorts off and we made our way towards the sea. i thought about putting my hair up in a ponytail so it wouldn't get wet but i couldn't be bothered. the sun was setting and it was beautiful. i snapped a couple of photos with my phone and disposable camera. i chucked them back onto where our clothes were laying and jogged back to where trevor was.

the water was surprisingly warm. trevor jumped into the ocean and dragged me under the water with him. as i came back up for air i got the hair out of my face aggressively, like a five year old would do, and rubbed the salty water from my eyes. i hadn't noticed but trevor had brought a bouncy ball in his hand and was throwing up into the air and catching it.

"you have to admit that was fun" he said squinting from the sun.

"i'd like a warning next time you attempt to drown me please and thanks" i answered smiling. this made him throw the ball in my face. so i threw it back, only for it not to hit him but to completely miss him. curse my terrible aim.

"wow that was so terrible" he laughed. i swam further away from the shore and floated on my back. man was i going to miss this. and him. trevor joined me in floating peacefully on his back.

"not gonna lie i thought you were one of those girls who are scared of the ocean and shit" he softly said. i loved the ocean.

"i use to be. i use to hate swimming in the sea because i had heard so many things about sharks and that kinda stuff. but then on one holiday ri and i went snorkelling and i got to see the beauty it. and i've loved it ever since" i spoke. this is my happy place.

"that's nice" trevor said dryly. even though he didn't mean to sound so uninterested, it made me giggle. "sorry that was so dry" he laughed as well.

i suddenly had an idea. "you know what we should do-"

"not another handstand competition just so you can show o-"

"no not that. okay so i use to do this with me sherri whenever we'd go on holiday. i have to try and stand on your shoulders without your help" i explained getting deja vu.

"huh?"

"how do you not understand? i try to stand on your shoulders without getting any help from you. so like you just have to stand still like a statue and i have to try and get onto your shoulders" i repeated.

"yess that would be so much fun" i started swimming towards the shore were it was more shallow and started to try. i first placed my hands on trevor's shoulders and tried to straight away jump onto which shoulders which i knew wasn't going to work but it was worth the try.

"this is harder than i thought" i said out loud, making trevor laugh.

"it's my go next yeah?" he said, hopefully jokingly.

"uhhh"

i went to face him and grabbed his hand. i put his hands together and made then into a cup shape.

"i don't think this is allowed" he said sarcastically moving hands, only for me to put them back in the position i set them in. i stepped on his hand, boosting me. i swung one leg around his shoulder but then toppled over his shoulder, falling splat into the sea. i could hear his laugh from under water. i rose with a smile on my face.

"i can't do it. sherri is much smaller than you" i stated with my hands on my hips.

"my go" he said in a sing-songy voice. i sigh sarcastically. he doesn't even try he just jumped onto my upper back, making me fall face first into the water. i was stuck under his body in the water until i felt two hands grip my waist pulling me up. i stood back up and face him, his hands still on my hips. i hadn't realised how close our faces were. so i did the unimaginable and leaned forward to connect our lips.

i stood up on my tiptoes as our lips moved in synch. this is when taylor swift is supposed to play. i felt him smile. everything was perfect. except it wasn't. we were leaving in two days. we lived in two different countries. we had two totally different lives we pulled away and we both wore smiles on our faces. mine not as big as his.

"you have no idea how long i've been wanting to do that for" he grinned down at me. he saw my face changed and hooked his finger under my chin making me look him in the eyes. "what's wrong? did i do anything wrong? wh-"

"it's not your fault trevor, it's just that we're leaving in two days. we'll probably never see each other after this holiday." i weakly smiled biting back the water in my eyes.

"what makes you say that we'll never see each other again?" he asked running his finger through his hair.

"i have school trevor. i have to get a job, and a-levels are coming up, which means i'll have to study. like a lot" i simply state, my shoulders shrugging. he shakes his head.

"that doesn't mean i can't still see you" i felt a lump in my throat.

"trevor we live in two different cotenants, a thousand miles away from eachother" i couldn't keep it together anymore and felt that lump in my throat disappear. i left a tear fall down my cheek. i prayed that trevor wouldn't notice it but he did.

he put hands hands up "hey hey hey, don't worry we'll be okay. we'll be fine" he wrapped an arm around my lower back and his other around my neck.
