So, Aiden bought everything he said he was going to and helped me set up everything. I couldn't play anything tonight because everything had to download. He made sure to download the game I was playing earlier, which I learned was called, 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' first so that it would be downloaded by tomorrow night.

After we set up my new phone, which is a LG thinQ G7, the first thing he did was add his name in the contacts. He informed me that the more I play the phone, the more I'll learn about it. It was a cute phone. He even bought a case to put on it 'just incase it gets dropped' his words.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rr8QKhlzl
He taught me how to use the camera and we took a lot of silly pictures together. And even some normal ones.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YM0Qp8ClE
We stayed up and watched a movie before getting to work on some newspapers to find my parents. I showed him the locket I found with my last name and Aiden says I look a lot like my mother.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAuRNGQH3u
"Do you remember your mother's name?" Aiden asks me as he begins looking through amber alerts matching my description.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISZL9HvlBF
I nod. "My mother's name is Elizabeth Gallegar and my father's name is Martin Gallegar."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKpyOOdEew
We search for a few hours before I sigh and toss the papers in front of me. This was aggravating. Why would anyone put out an amber alert about their mermaid child? They would obviously know that I would be in the water.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88EngohCcz
"Isn't there an easier way to find someone?" I ask Aiden.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Gp8M7Yb8
He chuckles. "Yeah, I suppose we could look on the internet since this doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5BljiqM6
I glare at him. "Why didn't we do that to begin with?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxIPhNrn8L
He shrugs. "I didn't want anyone to see that I'm searching for Elizabeth and Martin Gallegar because then they might wonder why."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZrNuoBJTt
I nod, taking in his words. Then I smile as I hold up my phone.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IEKD08ukB
"No one is going to look through my phone." I tell him.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L1tb8LNgA
He smirks. "Pretty and smart.. I like it."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7sYJvBsBC
I throw a balled up piece of paper and smack him directly in the forehead. His mouth dropped open and I smirk back at him.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NNmiXtlwP
Then I remembered.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wlo613gcP
"What time is it?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeoXMG4LRC
"You know your phone has the time on it." Aiden teases as he picks up his phone to check. "It's almost six. So, we should get you back to the water. I'll try to find something about your parents today."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dbgg5atzM
I get up and hug him tightly. He hugs me back just as tight.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQV5z03mba
I run to the bathroom and quickly undress. I wrap a towel around my body tightly and walk out.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPNThP0Go
Aiden's eyes fall down to my towel and then back up to me. He clears his throat and avoids all eye contact.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1QFiNFaVX
"Ready?" He asks me. Although it looks like he's asking the ceiling...
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLRbliIDz
"Yeah, let's go."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHj1W6Cf5a
We walk out the house, and since he lives in a house on the beach, I just walked straight down.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8jdPnipLk
I take the towel off and hand it to Aidan. His eyes widen before he turns quickly away from me.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbLnpK7Qzg
"Later, Aiden!" I say as I run toward the water.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWy036JY4B

"Oh, my gosh, Bambi! I thought something happened to you!" Aqua swims quickly over to me and pulls me into a tight hug.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynZjCbLhXe
I look over to see Aquarius shaking his head. "I just figured you found some way to break the curse."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUEUeo1FT3
I shake my head. "Not yet."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a6NUVJypH
Aqua hugs me once again before saying. "I actually have to go so I'll see you later today, okay? Marcus asked me out and I said yes!"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsYDys6ytZ
"Have fun!" I tell her.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zERjBwsuw
She does a little mermaid sway in excitement before yelling back,
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUaBLEQ6qW
"I will!"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ouQVVnsI
Aquarius and I chuckle at his crazy sister.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSDgVZUVhf
"Well, I guess it's just you and me." Aquarius says with a smile.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF3fWyDq1h
I nod. "Yeah, so, what do you want to do?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVF7jhd2zA
He grabs my hand and we swim out of the gates to their little underwater town. We don't swim to far away before we get to where he was taking me.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1SEBEI00N
There was a nice big rock that was big enough for two mermaid to sit on, which is what we did.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjcVefqH3e
"What are we doing?" I ask once I got comfortable.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFjbYc0u4k
He shrugs. "Just sitting here."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDsuxD0pxt
I snack his shoulder. "Well, I know that."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2A2wYJrBF
He chuckles before turning his body to face me. I don't say anything as I look up at the sky, mainly wondering what Aiden is up to. Did he find anything on my parents? Does he miss me like I miss him?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V96Jdp9FH
"Bambina!"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cjX3Ed35
"Yeah?" I ask looking over at Aquarius.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCekEJnd8n5
"Did you hear what I said?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrtfKIvFV7
I shake my head. "I'm sorry, I'm just tired and I spaced out. What were you saying?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUnj7whMbD
"I was saying, that I like you, Bambina. You're beautiful, your funny, you like to eat and that's hot, I just... I know its selfish, but I don't want you to break the curse." Aquarius tells me.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Ayryrxn2
I sit up and look down at him in shock. I honestly didn't know what to say to his words. At first, yes, I questioned whether or not I wanted to break the curse but after spending the night with Aiden after not seeing him for a whole month, I realized that I didn't want to be a mermaid anymore. I enjoy spending time with Aiden and eventually, he's not going to want to hang out with me anymore. He's going to grow up and fall in love and forget all about me. He won't be able to just leave all night long to come hang out with a merhuman.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMABowfAAAc
Aiden is my human and I don't want some silly curse to keep us from being friends.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEjlC8vvje
"Aquarius, I like you, too but, only as a friend. I need to break this curse so that I can be with my family again. I'm really sorry." I tell him, giving him only half the truth.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FOJejpHKS
He nods. "I understand."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirK9RIeQjY
"I have to go get some sleep so I'll see you later today?" I ask.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GtoCBssiT
He smiles up at me. "Of course, beautiful."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjY5JjdLm0
I smile back before swimming off to get some sleep.
