Without You

Part 9 "He is a very healthy human being"

"I gotta pee!" I laughed.

I dried off the best I could and went inside the house. I went to the nearest bathroom, did my business, and then sat there for another minute to look around the nice beach themed bathroom.

After about a minute, I washed my hands and went back outside. I took my towel off and lied it on one of the pool chairs. I walked to the other side of the pool and jumped in making sure to not get our phones wet.

"Eli texted you," Izzy says picking up my phone from the other side of the pool. I swam over to her and grabbed my phone.

Ur bestest friend evr (ELI): Bad news boo-boo

Me: Uh-oh

Ur bestest friend evr (ELI): You know that government project right?

Me: Yes

Ur bestest friend evr (ELI): And you know the part of it I was supposed to do?

Me: Yeah

Ur bestest friend evr (ELI): Well the part I did got lost soooo

Me: Eli! Really?

Ur bestest friend evr (ELI): I know boo-boo, all my fault. She said it is like due whenever. Where is your house because to do this project I need notes and I don't have those.

Me: Today?

Ur bestest friend evr (ELI): Yes

Me: Okay

I sent Eli my address and told him to walk right in and we were in the back. He then proceeded to tell me he wasn't alone. Ryan and Luke were also with him.

I guess it's now just a party at Aubrey's house. Yay.

I turned back around to the girls and told them the news.

"So our swimming is gonna be cut short?" Izzy asks a little disappointed.

"No! We can still swim, all I have to do is go get my notes real quick when they get here" I answered and Izzy's face brightened back up again.

I got up out of the pool again to get my towel only to notice it is really wet. I sigh and go back to the supply house to get another one.

"Hey, girlfriends!!" Eli shouts coming through the door as I'm about halfway to the supply house.

I turn around and accidentally meet the eyes of Luke who is looking straight at me. I turn around and blush. I grab a big towel from the closet then shut back the doors.

I wrap the towel around me and start patting down my arms. I walk back over to where Eli is.

"I didn't know you would be here so quick."

"Oh, we were already driving around" He shrugs.

"Is this pool heated?" Ryan asks as he bends down and sticks his hand in.

"Yeah" Olivia answers him then turns around.

She's probably blushing, awww.

"I'll go get the notes," I say and Eli declares he is coming with me.

We walk up the stairs and into my room. The first thing Eli does is lay on my bed. I go to the corner of my room where my backpack is and open it. I take out my government binder and turn to give it to Eli.

"Where is this from?" He asks holding up one of dad's old dog tags.

"Nowhere," I say taking it from him and giving him my notebook.
