I have been on vacation for what seems like forever. I have stayed in the Barbados just to get away from the fame for a awhile. I needed some time to spend with my family and friends for Christmas and New Years. I had a great time but my mind was still clouded by memeories. Those sweet memories from years ago. "Drake..." I said in a soft whisper before Melissa walked through the door. 

"Hey Ri, You ready to go to the beach?" She asked me. I smiled at her and nodded. She looked at me with the "I know there is something bothering you look". Melissa could always spot on tell when there was something wrong with me. It was like she had a sixth sense which creeped me out but it was helpful that she was able to be there whenever I needed her. 

"I'm fine Melissa. No need to give me that look ok?" I told her with a reassuring smile. She sighed to herself before shaking her head and walking off. Once she was gone, I continued to sulk. From time to time all throughout this vacation I fell into depression. My heart would ache and I had to leave to go somewhere to be alone. My whole family and friends all knew there was something bothering me but they did not bother asking. The only people who did ask were Melissa and my mother of course. They were the closets to me. 

"Ri! Come on now Girl. We are about to leave" Melissa yelled from the downstairs. I quickly slipped on my big sweater over my bathing suit and grabbed my tote bag. I hustled down the stairs and out the front door to get into the jeep. I got inside and closed the door almost feeling like I was out of breath. 

"You need to workout more" Melissa said jokilngly.  I knew she was trying to cheer me up. I didn't want to bring down the mood of our family beach day but these memories were over running my mind. I laughed but it came out way to fake. Melissa just looked away and started talking to Jenna. I just looked out the window and watched as the trees were passing us by as the jeep drove down the small narrow road. The beach was an hour away from where the house was so I had sometime to clear my thoughts. I've been up all night because I couldn't sleep last night from overthinking and blaming myself for officially ending the relationship. I have no idea why now every single feeling I had held in wanted to come out at a time like this.

Maybe it took so long because I was mainly focused on my music which was my distraction. Music was my way to get away from the drama and constant on again and off again relationship we had going over the course of time. Now that I geared more towards fashion, it kept me busy but not as much. I closed my eyes for a little bit since they were feeling a little heavy from the lack of sleep I got. I didn't think I was going to drift off into a deep sleep but I did. 

~Dream~

"Ri, you know I've been thinking about you lately, and you know I really do want to make things work out between us" Drake's words echoed throughout my head as I stood there and stared at him. This was the last time we saw each other before parting ways. At this pont, I didn't know what I wanted. Technically, Chris just recently hit me up a day before I met up with Drake and now my feelings were all over the place. Chris opened that door of feelings I had locked away ever since Drake and I began dating. 

"Drake, I love you....so very much...but...." I could barely get my words out. I was choking on my own words that would not come out. He gave me that look of confusion and hurt. He knew exactly what I wanted to say but knew it was hard for me to say it.

"Say less Ri..." He said before pulling me into a hug. He hugged me so tight and it was that kind of hug where you didn't want that person to let you go. If they did, their touch will linger on your body long after they have gone. I wrapped my arms around him as well and buried my face into his jacket. I was afarid to let him go but I felt it was for the best. My love for him has been scattered to the point where the pieces are spread so far apart, they are hard to find and put back together again. 

When he finally pulled away, my heart dropped. He kissed my forehead and turned around to walk away. From there, I couldn't help but stand in place. I felt like I was frozen at that very spot where we were hugging just a few moments ago. The jolt of the car stopping woke me up. 

~Out of the dream~

"We are here Ri, Did you sleep ok?" Melissa asked while gathering her things. I nodded and grabbed my tote bag as well. I opened the car door and hopped out the jeep. My feet landed on the hard concrete of the parking lot. The wind began to blow and the breeze felt so nice just brushing across my face. I felt some relief for once. While everyone wanted to walk along the boardwalk, I walked down the stairs that led to the beach. I took my flip flops off before placing my feet into the sand. They sunk into warmth of the sand and it felt like my feet were recieving some kind of massage as I walked through it. The breeze that was coming through from the ocean currents whipped through the air blowing my hair lightly. I felt like coming here was a great way to clear my mind once again. 

I looked around the beach that wasnt as crowded as it usually is. It was kind of an off season for most people traveling but I was glad it was 'nt much going on here. This was my place of sanctuary.
