"Will you talk to me one day or will you still be the same insufferable idiot who has been avoiding me all week?” Livie snapped behind my back, making the sandwich in my hands to fall.I had no choice but to turn around, although that had been a huge mistake because angry, Livie looked even more beautiful."I haven't been ignoring you.” I lied awkwardly "I've just been busy.”She looked at me like I had another head popped out.I had obviously been avoiding her, but it was easier to fake insanity than explain.Nick's verbal words.I hadn't spoken to her since Monday when I was at my worst.The first two days, Livie had been texting, calling, and even waiting at my front door until late at night, but I had done my best to avoid her, a message that I thought had been received since she had left a side of the chase... Until now.Standing a few steps from me and with angry face, she made me realize how much I had

I felt small but insistent punches on the sole of my left foot, but the exhaustion was so big that it mattered very little to me.And although the sunlight was burning my corneas, the heaviness in my body prevented me from moving."I know you can hear me, Mark.” Even though Jonny was practically whispering, I felt like a heavy metal singer was yelling in my ear."Let me sleep, Jonny.” I asked turning my back to face the ground. At what point had I fallen asleep on the beach chair?"That had to hurt.” He said laughing "Look, I didn't come here to starve, it's already eleven in the morning and you promised to take me to the beach so that I...”Jonny kept talking, but I disconnected. I had finally been able to open my eyes and what I saw impressed me, Nick was in one of the seats with what I expected, was chocolate syrup and Jacob was on a float going and coming across the pool, there were lemon shells floating around him. The

“What are you waiting for, Mark? Come in for once!” I heard Jonny scream, who was in his whale shaped float, a few meters from the shore where I was."In a while.” I yelled back from the sand, seeing Olivia coming out of the water at that moment."You said that an hour ago.” she pointed out, sitting next to me and wriggling her hair."I’m not into it.” I replied looking away to avoid admiring how the drops fell all over her body.That morning, when I had opened my eyes and found Livie in my arms, my joy was such that I didn’t move for fear that she’d wake up, which happened an hour later thanks to my younger brother-in-law who shouted that it was late and we had to leave right then and there."Tell me the truth, Marky.” Livie asked bringing me back to the present."I just don't feel comfortable.” I confessed."Because there are more people today, right?"“Exactly

I looked worriedly at the screen of my phone once more, and once again, it was silent. “Can you tell me what’s the rush of knowing where she is?” Nick asked huffingly "Let her be, Mark.” "Today we is our three months anniversary.” I explained, blushing at his attentive gaze. “Let me guess.” Nick said amused “You spent a good amount of time writing your emotions in a message and you have not received an answer.” I looked at him amazed. “How did you know?” "It's your first relationship.” he shrugged "You don't look like a man who gives flowers and Livie the kind of woman who likes those gifts.” Nick did know how to read people. "So, you threw all your feelings into the message.” he pointed out. “That's how it is.” "And she didn't answer you.” “Not.” "Maybe she thought you got too clingy.” He expressed, earning a look of hatred from me "Don't take it the wrong way, but, really Mark? Just a t

 "No, I refuse.”“Come on, Mark! Please!” She kept insisting in a girlish voice."Olivia, don't ask me to go to that party.” I snapped, sitting down on the couch, turning on the TV and dismissing the matter.We were like this since we had arrived from the park about thirty minutes ago.When we had run into Daniel, Hillary and Cindy, they had invited us to a party that night at Daniel's house, in order to celebrate the school was over. Livie had told them we would be there at the same time I said not to wait for us, so Daniel had been trying over and over again to convince me to go, and, seeing I was about to lose my temper, Olivia had hold my hands and saying goodbye to the trio who looked at us with some nervousness when they saw they hadn’t gotten a concise answer from us. Needless to say, we hadn't talked much on the way home."Don't be like that.” She expressed sitting next to me and
