Vacation. part 1

Katherine's P.O.V

I change into my bathing suit. I step out of the washroom. The sun is bright and warm. The skies are bright blue and the water is clear, the sand is white. Best of all standing right next to me is Wade.

He smiles at me. "Come on!" he says. He jumps in the water. Water splashes on everyone.

"HEY" Clint says, who was attempting to make a sand castle. 

"THAT'S IT!!!! WATER FIGHT!" Clint declares

Everyone else jumps in the water. We splash waves of water at each other. Everyone's having so much fun. And it seems that nobody cares about anything else in the world.

Saph's P.O.V

I just sit here under the umbrella.

I'm wearing my white shirt and a pair of short shorts, it's not my usual outfit.

No I don't plan to go swimming.

I put on a small smile, and watch everyone else in the water fight

I stay here, curled up as I watch them.

As a kid, I really wanna join them and have fun.

But I can't act like a kid anymore, even though I am one. 

I had to grow up, when I turned four.

My parents are gone, and no one can really tell me what to do, or put any rules into my life. I tell myself what to do.

I can just do whatever I want, whenever I want.

But I can't.

I live my life with rules that I cannot break, rules that I made when I was five. I've been following these rules ever since. 

But if I break these rules, who knows what could happen! It could be good, or very very bad. 

I have simple rules.

I cannot show anyone, or even let out my anger, or my sadness.

I cannot, laugh, I cannot cry, I cannot scream or shout.

I cannot show feelings or emotion.

But the most important rule of all...

Is that I cannot have fun.

My whole life, i've been struggling to keep those rules unbroken.

I've only broken these rules a few times but sometimes when I did. It turned out very badly.

I don't know how long, i'll have to be like this, maybe until I can control "it" 

maybe, i'd have to follow these rules, forever.

To make sure nothing goes wrong.

But sometimes, nothing goes wrong, sometimes, when I break a rule, nothing happens. But it's best that I don't take my chances.

I have to try to stay away from people.

It's difficult to live my life like this. But it's a small price to pay for others.

................

Jewel walks out of the water, and to me, smiling.

"Hey."

She attempts to talk to me

"Hi." I say

"What's wrong? You don't seem happy, why?"

"What! I'm happy! See!" I put on a forceful smile.

"Come on Saph! ...why don't you join us?!"

"Nah. Um...It's best that I don't'

"Aww, come on Saph! It's gonna be fun!'

I have never heard the word "fun" coming from another person's mouth since my dad died.

"No, I don't think, they would want me to join anyways."

"What do you mean?"

"Look, Jewel, you guys are much older than me, I'm the kid. adults hate it when kids join them while they are having fun, it's like kids ruin the adult's fun, and it also works the other way around. And, as i've said...I, am a kid."

"Well you do seem pretty mature for your age"

" I have to be mature, but I'm still a kid, no matter what."

"What do you mean by 'you HAVE to be mature'?"

Before I can say anything. Steve comes in and saves me from this conversation. Steve pulls her back into the water.

"Come on!!" he says
