First thing we did was get rid of our shirts and shorts and jump straight into the water.

It was cold making my coward body to back off, Luke watched my face twitching with a smile and threw me over his shoulder.

"You wanted this! You are so drowning in this cold ass water" he giggled throwing me on the cold water after a wave crushed

"Sleep with your eyes open, Robert" I flip my now wet hair back with a roll in my eyes. This is very cold

We stayed inside the ocean until we felt hungry again, it was almost 5pm so the sun was about to lie down. We sat on the sand around the weird fire Michael and Ashton put together. Calum got the guitar from the car, I didn't even know it came in the trunk.

He strummed the chords and I watch all of our bodies swinging side to side with the melodic tune of The Only Exception by Paramore. Luke joined Calum with his soft voice and I closed my eyes feeling the breeze. It felt like we were in heaven. My body relaxed and I intertwined my fingers with Luke's, he kissed my knuckles and kept singing.

When the song was over I opened my eyes and we smiled, we really needed it.

"Guys, look! The sun!" Mike pointed at the ocean, the sun was kissing it.

The orange met the blue making me shiver.

"This is my new favorite place" Kira says with a silly smile wrapping her arms over Calum's neck

I rested my head on Luke's shoulder

"You are my favorite place" Luke whispered on my ear then kissed my lips

"You're my getaway, thank you Luke" I smile feeling my cheeks turn pink.

We sat there in silence just enjoying the warm from the fire watching the Sun saying it's goodbye. We sang a little bit more until the third song was over and Ashton spoke up

"How about some mushrooms?" he smiled with a sloppy crack on his lips taking a ziplock filled with mushrooms, he took some and ate it passing the bag to Calum

We all ate some and drank some beer to warm up. Kira was the first one to feel it kick in

"Oh my gosh, look at this ant!" She pointed to the sand "It's huge! Quick babe, kill it!" She shook Calum's arm

"Kira this is a pink shell" he rolled his eyes with a loud giggle

"Dude, how many mushrooms did you eat?" Mike asked sticking his tongue out, I let my head fall onto Luke's chest making his wrap his arms around my chest, I could feel his heart beating fast against my back

"12 quarters?" Kira answers starting to laugh "I feel so alive!" She stand up and starts to spin

Ashton got his iPod and put some music, Kira was dancing around us with the brightest smile on her lips. Calum was too busy eating doritos, Mikey and Luke were trying to count how many flames there're on the fire and I was just tripping watching stars.

"C'mon Liza, dance with me! The ocean is singing!" She reached for my hand and I took hers.

We moved our bodies with our eyes closed and hands intertwined, I tried to sing along with the song but I couldn't identify it so I just made some lyrics up.

I've never seen Kira this happy, normally she's quiet and silent but today she is fire.

"How come drugs make us feel so free?" She shouts throwing her arms up

"They allow you to be what you suppress underneath your skin" I answer spinning my body and watching the starts follow my movements "Do you ever wanted to jump so high you could catch a star?" I ask loudly

"Let me try" Luke suddenly appears next to me and starts to jump on the soft sand "Shit I almost got one!" He says smiling and tries again "Holly shit I swear I felt one with my fingertips" at this point his mouth wasn't closed anymore, it was all smiles.

"Are you dumb?!" Calum pops next to Kira "You'll have to lift someone on your shoulder, latter boy" he giggles "Lift me and we'll be able to catch as many as the girls want"

"Hey, I want one too!" Mikey yells and runs towards us with a bag of skittles in hands

Luke lifted Calum on his shoulders and I swear they're about to fall. Calum stretched his body as high as he could

"Almost there" He twitch his face "Babe, hand me that stick" he glanced at Kira who turned to get said stick "Imma poke it until one falls" he says smiling like he just had a brilliant idea

"Hurry up, or they'll get scared" Luke yells making me laugh

Ashton just sat by the fire watching the five of us trying to get a star

Calum got the stick and started to poke above his reach "C'mon little star" he yells "C'mon man!"

Luke stayed on the tip of his toe to help Calum. Kira, Mikey and I watched carefully the two boys chasing stars.

"Fall motherfuckers!" Calum yells almost angry, making us all laugh. After a while of poking and cussing I felt one drop on my forehead

"Guys" I say but no one heard me, I felt another drop then another until we all stopped to feel water dropping on us

"You poked too hard, now they bursted" Luke says dropping Calum onto the sand.

"This ain't no water" Mike says stretching his hand to catch the rain "It's start dust!"

"Will us be able to fly like Tinker Bell?" Ashton asks joining us standing a few feet from the water

"How could you be so stupid, that was fairy dust" Calum corrected his mate, Luke wrapped his arms over my tiny body

"We are high as a kite" he mutters on my neck and I nod

"It never felt so good" I reply as we start to dance with no music

"Rain dance!" Kira shouts moving her body in her own beat

We dance until the rain gets heavy and we hear one thunder

"holy shit, let's run to the mountains!" Mike says holding on his bag of candy

We hurried to the tent, I dropped my body on the soft mattress as Luke did the same

"No Mike you can't stay with Kira and I" I hear Calum complain from the tent next to us "Your tent is with Ashton, just like you wanted"

"Now I want to be your tent buddy" Mike pouts, I burry my head on Luke's chest and smile

"Fuck off, Gordon. Calum is my tent buddy" Kira spats and I watch Mike get out of the tent complaining about how he liked Kira better when she didn't speak

"Hi honey, I'm home" Mike yells as he enters his tent with Ashton

"Where have you been? I was holding onto a pillow thinking it was you!" Ashton yelled and we all laughed

"Aww you do love me" Mike says sweetly and I zip the tent closed focusing on Luke though is very hard to focus when you're high

"I love you" I mutter into the kiss

"I love you so much" he brushes his nose against mine. "I wish we could stay here forever"

"Me too" I reply feeling my eyes getting heavy "I want to chat but my eyes want to sleep" I complain snuggling my tiny body closer to him, letting his big one spoon me

"It's okay, I'm sleepy too. We can chat in the morning, babe" he kisses my neck and fits his head on the crook of my neck "I'll be right here when you wake up" he smiles making me smile too

My eyes start to drift off. I can't hear the rain outside or Mikey singing Pocahontas' song Colors Of The Wind. All I could hear was Luke's and I breathing in sync. This is my new favorite sound. Within a minute we were both heavily asleep and I've never felt more safe.
