I was having so much fun at the beach. After I finished my ice cream, I decided to go swimming in the ocean. "Jax, stop chasing me!!" I could not stop laughing at all, the last time I went to the beach was nine years ago, back when I was nine years old. That day, was the day that I knew that he would always be there for me.

Flashback

"Eve. Hurry up, and let's go swimming." I don't want to tell him that I can't swim. I know I will be made fun of, so I can just try to stall. "I am fine here. You go ahead..."

I decided to lay down on my towel, and work on my sun tan. I love the beach, but only if I can swim. While I was laying down, I hard breeze blew, and when it did my sun hat flew into the water.

I looked around trying to find a way to get it without going in. I looked around and I could not find Jax anywhere. I decided to go and try to get it back. When I went to the edge of the water, I kept on walking until while I felt ground.

The hat was only a few inches from me, when I reached to get it, it moved. I took a couple more steps, then I felt no more ground. I started to freak out. I saw nothing but, cold water. Was this how I was going to die?

"Help!!" With that last word I went under the water. I was so scared for my life. Then I felt strong arms pull me up to the surface. When I looked at the face, it was Jax.

"Jax! You saved me." He laughed a little bit when I hugged him. "Your welcome. Don't worry, I will always be here for you when ever you need me." I knew that was true. I would never have to worry about anything, he would always be there for me.

End of flash back

After that day, I knew I could always trust him to be there for me. I looked at him, he looked so cute right now. He looks like an innocent boy, just trying to have fun on a day like this. To be honest to day is a good day, after everything, embarrassing things, that have happened lately I am glad to have some time to calm down.

The sun is shining in the sky, and I see happy families playing in the sand and water. I love how care free everyone here is. As I was looking for my brother and Jax, I ended up seeing the one person that I I have not seen since Jax left me.

I stood up and ran to her hoping that is was not a stranger that just looks like her. "Lora?" She turned around to the sound of her name. She still looked the same, she of course grew a couple of inches the last time that we saw each other. He hair is shorter, and her taste in clothes sure have changed.

"Eve!! It's so great to see you, I have not seen you since Jax left. How are you?" She seemed as happy to see me as I am to see her. It is true that Jax was my first guy best friend, but Lora is also my first girl best friend. Yes, I had two best friends. One was a guy that I liked, and the other a girl that I could not live without. After Jax hurt me that night, I stopped talking to Lora. "Well, you might want to sit down for this."

"Uh-oh, What has happened these past years. Spill." She sat down beside me on my beach towel, and then I stared my story. "Well, after eight years of not seeing Jax he came back. His parents are on a business trip, so he is staying with me until they get back. We have been trying to get along with each other, but he kissed me again, and he told me he still liked me. I think I might be liking him to, and the other night at a party he tried to you know, and my brother almost killed him. I don't know how I feel. One minute I hate the guy, then I love him. I don't know is it's a friendship thing or something else. He is the first guy that I ever kissed and liked, but right now I just don't know anymore." I took a couple of minutes to pause, and waited for her to say anything.

All I got was wide eyes, and her mouth slightly having open. "Wow, well in my opinion I think you guys should be together. You do know more about each other than anyone else does. I may not have seen you as long as you have not seen Jax, but I do know this. It does not matter how long people are apart, of you truly love each other then you will make the right choice in the end. The only question that rests right now is, do you love him?" She was right, it never matters how long you have seen someone, if you truly love them then you will know what to do.

I never felt love, and I have said that I loved him, but is that really love. It might just be something that's not even real love. "Hey Eve, I have kept this since the last time that I saw you. I keep it with me just in case I run into you. Jax gave me this the day he left, before he told you he was leaving." She handed me a white envelope with a red rose sticker on it. I looked at her and she nodded me to go on and open it.

My hands were shaking so bad trying to rip it open, finally when I got the letter open, I wanted to cry.

Dear Eve,

If your reading this it means that I am already long gone. I should have told you that I was leaving instead of keeping it a secret. Best friends don't do that sort of thing, do they? I never been as happy as I was when I meet you. You were there for me when I need you the most, and when you needed me the most I left. I am so sorry, that I left you. I hope you can forgive me some day.

I know even if I do come back and you see me again, I know nothing will ever go back to normal. There is something that I have been hiding from you, something that I hope you will forgive me for. Eve, I think I am falling in love with you. Every time that I see you, it makes my heart pound. I always want to be there for you and to never leave your side. I love your smile, your laugh, the way you hide your face when your embarrass. I love how open you are about yourself, and how brave you are.

You never been afraid of anything, and I admire you because of that. I never meet a girl like you before. You are like a star in the sky, so lucky to have and to see. I never want our friendship to end or change, because of how I feel. I want us to always be able to talk to each Other, and tell each other everything. Please Eve, promise me that no matter how much I change over the years, or the things that I say. You will always be there with me.

I can't live the rest of my life knowing that I lost the most important person in my life. I can't live knowing I lost my best friend, my first love. Life is not worth living without someone, you love is by your side. I love you Eve, I love you now and forever. No matter what you choose, I will always be there for you.

Xoxo,
Jax Hynn

The last paragraph got me. I was already crying she I saw his hand writing. I can't believe he wrote this to me. I now know what I must do, and I ma not scared to tell him the truth. He has been there for me when no one else was, and now it's time he knows how I feel about him too.

Maybe he still feels the same way....
