Life

Chapter 21

"Oh my god.." Brooke said slowly, I looked at cole and smiled and walked over to him, he wrapped his arms round me and hugged me tight. We turned to Brooke an Alex who were also hugging.

"I can't Believe you done this for me!" Brooke said. "Actually I couldn't have done it without a bit of help" Alex said looking over to us. We both smiled at each other.

"Right take a seat, food is ready!" Me and Brooke took a seat while the boys went and got the food ready.

"This is amazing! Thank you" Brooke said smiling over to the ocean ahead of us. "I'm pretty shocked my self, I only suggested the idea.." I look where she's looking and we can see the sunset which is amazing.

"Here we go ladies! After dinner we shall be setting off into the ocean!" Alex said raising his arm in delight. "I didn't know we were actually going to go out there" I said to cole quietly. "What's the point in having driving skills if you can't use them?" He questioned, I laughed it off and went to eat my wonderful meal that was cooked.

"Now this is amazing!" Brooke said with her mouth stuffed. I couldn't help but burst into laughter, we both ended up laughing for ages and the boys just say there, they'll never understand our friendship.

"Right are we done?" Cole asked and we all nodded, Alex took the plates inside the boat and me and Brooke went to sit on the sun beds.

"Lola?" "Brooke?" She turned to face me and I could tell it was something serious. "What's up?" I asked, I could tell something was up with her. "I don't think Alex is the one" I saw her eyes water and couldn't help but look at her in a confused way.

"What do you mean he's not the one? He's crazy about you! And you are too..aren't you?" I really don't know what made her think this! I couldn't see Alex getting hurt but I couldn't see my best friend being unhappy.

"I have a feeling Lola, when we kissed I felt hundred of emotions running through me, and I couldn't tell if I liked him or not?" Hold on they kissed? Have I missed something here.

"You kissed? Wait wait what about what happened when you got on the boat?" She nodded. "Yeah we kissed, it was at the party, and I had to hug him! I wasn't going to let him stand there.." She said lying back on the sun bed.

"You like him, you just don't want to admit it" I shot back. She snapped her head round towards me. "I-I would admit it!" I laughed. She wouldn't admit she's confused about her emotions.

"Your confused about you feelings, let me ask, period?" She nodded. I knew it was just the hormones playing up. If she said no to Alex tonight she would regret it in the future.

"Hormones are everywhere right now haha!" We both laughed, we heard footsteps and it was Alex and cole coming up to the roof of the boat.

"You ladies ready to go?" Cole asked, we both nodded and he went back down the stairs, Alex asked me if he could have Brooke alone for a minute. "Lola can I steal Brooke for two secs?" "Yeah yeah! Of course!" Brooke stood up and walked away with Alex. I was alone by myself on the top of a boat..

I could finally get to realise what was going on in my life, my life had completely changed now.. The whole thing with me and cole, Alex and Brooke, hanging around with the bad boys, my family coming together to help one another. My relationship with everyone had grew stronger than ever, especially with my mum since the whole losing my memory. My mum thought she was going to lose me, and I couldn't leave my mum like that, I just couldn't. She's very over protective about what parties I go to now, quite right if I say so myself.

My relationship with my cousins have grew enormously stronger, I have seen a side to them that I haven't seen in a long while, in a way them coming here helped them and there mum, and I'm really happy with that because aunt Kathy was struggling with the two of them and there, I quote, "outrageous" behaviour.

My best friend, where do I start, we grow stronger everyday we see each other! I noticed how much we are there for each other no matter what the problem, our trust is something I will deeply and forever love about our friendship. I trust Brooke with all my heart. I could never loose her..

But my relationship with cole..we have went up and down through the hills, well mostly him because I never knew how long he had liked me, and how he couldn't get to me. I felt terrible not knowing that he was waiting for me. My feelings had gone, I don't know where they had gone for the past 3 years? I never liked anyone ever. But now my feelings belong to cole and I would never change that for anything..

I could feel my eyes starting to water at my little talk to myself.

"Hey beautiful.." Cole walked and sat down next to me, I smiled at him and wrapped my arms round him. "Cole.." He hugs me back. "You okay? You look as if your going to cry?" He pulls away from the hug, he looks into my eyes and pulls a strand of hair away from my face. "I'm fine, I'm just happy with the way my life had turned out.." He smiles and we Ly down next to each, the fact we are in the middle of the ocean on a boat with the sunset in front of us, makes this moment even more special..
