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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAjb1OXI12Vh
He taught me how to use the camera and we took a lot of silly pictures together. And even some normal ones.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA2nNFQse7fn
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAv2dg5RqMXQ
"Do you remember your mother's name?" Aiden asks me as he begins looking through amber alerts matching my description.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA69SkdNqZzF
I nod. "My mother's name is Elizabeth Gallegar and my father's name is Martin Gallegar."
379Please respect copyright.PENANA7lN3NeQpIw
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAU33VePMQ3n
"Isn't there an easier way to find someone?" I ask Aiden.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAsIYzHpEy0S
He chuckles. "Yeah, I suppose we could look on the internet since this doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAqUd8CJT2Ic
I glare at him. "Why didn't we do that to begin with?"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAkKrmXvEQ6Y
He shrugs. "I didn't want anyone to see that I'm searching for Elizabeth and Martin Gallegar because then they might wonder why."
379Please respect copyright.PENANANko2QZLVCJ
I nod, taking in his words. Then I smile as I hold up my phone.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAXWIjvK9aR0
"No one is going to look through my phone." I tell him.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAtjy7TSkOjQ
He smirks. "Pretty and smart.. I like it."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZE3IvamOCt
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAUbUEIPgFu9
Then I remembered.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAiBjnGKNpGo
"What time is it?"
379Please respect copyright.PENANA1I8CNwVmTa
"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."
379Please respect copyright.PENANACbvXTrH2UX
I get up and hug him tightly. He hugs me back just as tight.
379Please respect copyright.PENANARfXTIWqJb8
I run to the bathroom and quickly undress. I wrap a towel around my body tightly and walk out.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAN5nX0aZG6o
Aiden's eyes fall down to my towel and then back up to me. He clears his throat and avoids all eye contact.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAiGvendaJ8d
"Ready?" He asks me. Although it looks like he's asking the ceiling...
379Please respect copyright.PENANAWFEE6UNH3H
"Yeah, let's go."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAyC2MsQnPJN
We walk out the house, and since he lives in a house on the beach, I just walked straight down.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAgg0uS53CnC
I take the towel off and hand it to Aidan. His eyes widen before he turns quickly away from me.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA6OO1ylNSPC
"Later, Aiden!" I say as I run toward the water.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAB9T3lT4xtr

"Oh, my gosh, Bambi! I thought something happened to you!" Aqua swims quickly over to me and pulls me into a tight hug.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAKawbVvwdGD
I look over to see Aquarius shaking his head. "I just figured you found some way to break the curse."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAtwpJmnlYdT
I shake my head. "Not yet."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAEZyBBMIG9b
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!"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAPPkJpXY5P7
"Have fun!" I tell her.
379Please respect copyright.PENANATxQqvFDxqh
She does a little mermaid sway in excitement before yelling back,
379Please respect copyright.PENANAefEcFxluwN
"I will!"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAQa1kaxunrX
Aquarius and I chuckle at his crazy sister.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAQ83pqAcb03
"Well, I guess it's just you and me." Aquarius says with a smile.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAzd88OZaBA8
I nod. "Yeah, so, what do you want to do?"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAt31r3ICkHw
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAsqTJC3MSiI
There was a nice big rock that was big enough for two mermaid to sit on, which is what we did.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0MiQPP187
"What are we doing?" I ask once I got comfortable.
379Please respect copyright.PENANASIlvBWjDna
He shrugs. "Just sitting here."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAyeaRsRr6Rd
I snack his shoulder. "Well, I know that."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAY9pnVgEZeV
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?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAAzl1qgU07s
"Bambina!"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAbuF5Dp5CLJ
"Yeah?" I ask looking over at Aquarius.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA5VDXT79NOM
"Did you hear what I said?"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAlLbmFPLtLc
I shake my head. "I'm sorry, I'm just tired and I spaced out. What were you saying?"
379Please respect copyright.PENANAMTE6tuKLxS
"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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAbyccYUOrqk
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAsWyukozRzz
Aiden is my human and I don't want some silly curse to keep us from being friends.
379Please respect copyright.PENANALBwFxTrOA2
"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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAzQjnZcrJjP
He nods. "I understand."
379Please respect copyright.PENANA4JpHpjU8tZ
"I have to go get some sleep so I'll see you later today?" I ask.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA1G8hORlG9V
He smiles up at me. "Of course, beautiful."
379Please respect copyright.PENANAMvZ9iKDhIv
I smile back before swimming off to get some sleep.
