Memories

It was another miserable day. Aaliyah hated being cooped up in the house. The sexual tension between her and Jameel was crackling. She was surprised no one else could notice it. She got dressed, and went downstairs. Downstairs,everyone was arguing about what to do. Everyone hated being stuck inside. There just wasn't enough space. Chammi suggested playing never have I ever, as a way of getting to know everyone better, and to pass the time. Everyone protested, but then realised they had nothing better to do, so started playing.

Chammi was asking the questions to Aaliyah, but they were getting a bit too uncomfortable. One of the other girls told Chammi to stop, but Chammi kept asking them. Aaliyah got sick of this, and stood up and slapped Chammi. Everyone was shocked at what had just happened. What had started as a lighthearted game had become something more serious.

"Ok Chammi, I know you're jealous of me but this was a new low even for you. Your just jealous because I had something you'll never have. I had Jameels love. And you know what? If I wanted him, I'm pretty sure I could have him, unlike you. I mean, how many more times are you going to throw yourself at Jameel? It's beyond embarrassing now. Him rejecting you for all these years, should be a pretty big clue."

Aaliyah got up and filled a cup with coke. She went up to Chammi. "This is what you wanted to know. I'll tell you myself. Never have I ever kissed  Jameel," Aaliyah took a big gulp of coke, "Never have I ever had sex with Jameel," Aaliyah took another big sip, "Are you satisfied now?" Aaliyah ran out of the beach house, saying she needed air. Everyone started scolding Chammi for what she did. Aaliyah sat on the beach. Why is life so complicated she thought? Aaliyah decided she shouldn't have come back, and would go back, as soon as she could. Aaliyah was about to go back inside, when she saw someone drowning. She ran inside and begged Jameel to help the person. Jameel quickly dove in, and brought the person to shore.  Aaliyah rang the ambulance and got the person checked out. She realised Jameel had collapsed and ran to him.

She started doing chest compressions on him, and giving him mouth to mouth. She even started slapping him, to wake him up.

"Come on Jameel. Wake up. Don't you dare leave me."
