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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANArva8wa2ts0
He taught me how to use the camera and we took a lot of silly pictures together. And even some normal ones.
674Please respect copyright.PENANA2vOnvnPUC7
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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAbAdGMMcmXU
"Do you remember your mother's name?" Aiden asks me as he begins looking through amber alerts matching my description.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Vo7YrJgn
I nod. "My mother's name is Elizabeth Gallegar and my father's name is Martin Gallegar."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAgNEApRbJ7p
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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANA4L2CwIXHQz
"Isn't there an easier way to find someone?" I ask Aiden.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAPlHsXT5Y4r
He chuckles. "Yeah, I suppose we could look on the internet since this doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAUkn3itlsBa
I glare at him. "Why didn't we do that to begin with?"
674Please respect copyright.PENANAnWKIn3cYfE
He shrugs. "I didn't want anyone to see that I'm searching for Elizabeth and Martin Gallegar because then they might wonder why."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAWwPjnGwkef
I nod, taking in his words. Then I smile as I hold up my phone.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAIRkDAUjH8L
"No one is going to look through my phone." I tell him.
674Please respect copyright.PENANA2zHRSjt95m
He smirks. "Pretty and smart.. I like it."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAAyxuJDRysO
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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANACVIpRMpcIm
Then I remembered.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAejEeetB6Tu
"What time is it?"
674Please respect copyright.PENANAdOh6wEnocx
"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."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAWqXbc2dNTF
I get up and hug him tightly. He hugs me back just as tight.
674Please respect copyright.PENANA5FfnRSyrxh
I run to the bathroom and quickly undress. I wrap a towel around my body tightly and walk out.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAzHZdW04uWB
Aiden's eyes fall down to my towel and then back up to me. He clears his throat and avoids all eye contact.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAdpXiTvXA0U
"Ready?" He asks me. Although it looks like he's asking the ceiling...
674Please respect copyright.PENANAvGUjruK9RM
"Yeah, let's go."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAX2OUptEFmc
We walk out the house, and since he lives in a house on the beach, I just walked straight down.
674Please respect copyright.PENANARaDTvyze6B
I take the towel off and hand it to Aidan. His eyes widen before he turns quickly away from me.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAAdFuULtA8X
"Later, Aiden!" I say as I run toward the water.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAsCZ3RQk11x

"Oh, my gosh, Bambi! I thought something happened to you!" Aqua swims quickly over to me and pulls me into a tight hug.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAIRgnxNDsTb
I look over to see Aquarius shaking his head. "I just figured you found some way to break the curse."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAQfoDERQPhY
I shake my head. "Not yet."
674Please respect copyright.PENANA6trXmQZ7Dw
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!"
674Please respect copyright.PENANAdDxNJoMLos
"Have fun!" I tell her.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAZT2IWdrN8L
She does a little mermaid sway in excitement before yelling back,
674Please respect copyright.PENANAwgrqIwv4nb
"I will!"
674Please respect copyright.PENANA80qigSc89o
Aquarius and I chuckle at his crazy sister.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAMgmznk1iK2
"Well, I guess it's just you and me." Aquarius says with a smile.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAWfK0OJ69aS
I nod. "Yeah, so, what do you want to do?"
674Please respect copyright.PENANAy9DyXsbSn8
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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANADtedI8xuGW
There was a nice big rock that was big enough for two mermaid to sit on, which is what we did.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAckJAe5aw4l
"What are we doing?" I ask once I got comfortable.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAa46r688RHo
He shrugs. "Just sitting here."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAbEmPvDxkaq
I snack his shoulder. "Well, I know that."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAbCNVChr0D2
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?
674Please respect copyright.PENANAVRYPZ7Lgmc
"Bambina!"
674Please respect copyright.PENANA5hwB3tfOJj
"Yeah?" I ask looking over at Aquarius.
674Please respect copyright.PENANA7hA7jLGpFo
"Did you hear what I said?"
674Please respect copyright.PENANAR7e28OKFb9
I shake my head. "I'm sorry, I'm just tired and I spaced out. What were you saying?"
674Please respect copyright.PENANAuEwimynKTJ
"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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAu2QLJ8BCmx
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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAyqgS30vYjo
Aiden is my human and I don't want some silly curse to keep us from being friends.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAbGsJ7iX9lA
"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.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAOO5oOVJr1c
He nods. "I understand."
674Please respect copyright.PENANAIuPO5Y5S4U
"I have to go get some sleep so I'll see you later today?" I ask.
674Please respect copyright.PENANAUxVSMWslDM
He smiles up at me. "Of course, beautiful."
674Please respect copyright.PENANA61E97XpupW
I smile back before swimming off to get some sleep.
