It was the last day of camping.. the feeling was bittersweet. I loved being here with my friends, but holy shit I wanted a proper shower so bad. In honour of our last day, we packed up the site and went to the local beach for the day. Cassidy had met this girl who was visiting from Scotland, but she was originally from the states, and she was super nice. We were sitting at a picnic table outside of the ice cream shop eating, well, ice cream.

"So, Brendon. Cassidy here tells me you guys are in a band, huh?" Eila wiggled her eyebrows and stared at me from the other side of the table. I laughed,

"Yeah, Ryan, Spence, Jon and I." I smiled, gesturing to the guys who were on the beach. She nodded approvingly, glancing toward Cassidy who was giving her a 'what are you doing' look.

"So, you guys fuck yet?" she asked, licking her ice cream. I nearly choked on my cone, Cassidy doing the same. I laughed nervously,

"Brendon and I?" Cassidy asked. She nodded and I could tell she wasn't joking. "No, we haven't." she responded. Eila shrugged,

"Okay cool." she wiped her mouth with a napkin, "Anyway, Brendon, when are you guys leaving for tour?" she asked. I was a little taken aback on how quickly and calmly she changed the subject, but I still answered.

"September 28th. The day after our album takes off." I said and disposed of my napkin in the trash can beside me, seeing as I finished my ice cream.

"Nice, are you going, Cassidy?" she asked, turning to my girlfriend.

She nodded, "I can't not go." Eila smiled,

"True. You guys are so adorable." she laughed, "RELATIONSHIP GOALS!" she yelled, earning a few awkward looks from people passing by. "By the way, you betting fucking keep talking to me." Eila nudged Cassidy.

"I will, jeez. Don't worry." Cassidy brushed my hand on the table before grasping it. Eila held her heart jokingly. "Awe. You're so adorable."

"Thanks?" I laughed. There was a pause as Eila stared off in the distance before randomly speaking,

"You know what I've always wanted to do?" she asked. I shrugged. Cassidy shook her head. "Go to the Paris Catacombs. Man, that'd be so cool." she sighed, staring up at the air

"You live in Scotland." I said, slightly confused.

"Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean I like to travel, douchebag. I just want to come back to the states as soon as possible. I miss this place." Eila explained, gesturing to the beach as 'this place.'

"Well, when you do come back you better come visit." Cassidy smiled,

"Duh."

I woke up on the beach, on my lounge chair, my skin sticking to it from the heat. I stood up, confused as to why I was there. The beach was deserted. The sky was clear, no clouds could be seen. The sun reflected on the water and you could see the calm ripples. I turned to see the familiar ice cream shop across the road, and I walked towards it. Seated there was Dallon, Spencer and Jon.

"Where's Cassidy?" I spoke. The three of them looked at me at the same time.

"Brendon, you know where they are." Spencer scoffed.

"No, seriously. I don't." I was confused why he wouldn't tell me.

"Brendon, its been a year since they left. Cassidy dumped you, and ran off with Ryan. God knows what they're doing with their lives." Jon spoke sharp and harshly. My breath got caught in my throat,

"W-What? She... she left me?" I croaked out. I couldn't believe it. This couldn't be real.

"Brendon, calm down. You were fine yesterday, what's suddenly wrong? And why didn't you remember?" Dallon asked calmly. I started crying. She wouldn't leave, would she?

"Brendon." Dallon said.

"Brendon."

"Brendon, wake up."

I opened my eyes to see Cassidy looking at me worriedly from the driver seat. The sky was dark around us,

"Are you okay? You started crying." she said, stroking my arm soothingly. I nodded. I knew it wasn't real. It couldn't be real. I turned to look at the guys behind me. All of them were asleep. We left pretty late, since we were having too much fun at the beach with Eila. I'm gonna miss her a lot, not gonna lie. But I know we'll see her again. Cassidy will make sure of it.
