she knew what she was doing.”

I scrambled up off my towel and grabbed Drake as he stood and started walking toward Jordan. “Drake stop! Jordan, that’s enough ok? Stop being an asshole!”

Drake was out for blood though, and he ignored me as he pushed past me to get to Jordan. Danny, who had been quiet through all of this, jumped out of his chair and grabbed Drake.

“Enough of this bullshit guys. My mother is fucking dying and you two are out here fighting about something that happened years ago,” he pointed at Jordan, “Stop trying to bring stuff up just to get him pissed. And stop hitting on Chloe! I don’t know what your problem is, but deal with it.”

As Danny finished his rant, Drake stopped struggling and turned to walk down the beach.

I watched him go before turning to Jordan. “What the hell was that Jordan? I thought you were better than that!” I shouted at him.

“That guy’s an asshole Chloe, I don’t know what you see in him.”

“He is not an asshole! He’s my boyfriend and he doesn’t need to hear that kind of crap. I don’t know what’s going through that head of yours but you need to stop. I’m with him and it’s going to stay that way. If you can’t handle it, then just leave me alone.”

I turned and started chasing after Drake. He was a good distance away by now, but I ran and caught up with him quickly. As I reached him, I threw my arms around him. “Drake, stop please! I’m sorry he was such a jerk, it won’t happen again.”

He stopped and turned to face me. “It drives me nuts to think of you with other guys Chloe. It nearly killed me with Logan, and now I get to look at that douche bag and know he’s been with you too! How many guys have you been with?”

I stepped back as he directed his anger at me. “Just him and Logan, I swear. I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you’d be angry. It was a long time ago and I never thought he would bring it up!” I yelled.

“Well he did, didn’t he? He obviously wants you still and I’m not going through the same thing that happened with Logan. You tell him to back off or I’m out of here right now!”

My heart seemed to stop beating as I listened to his threats. “Drake I just told him to back off, I don’t want anyone but you. How could you even think that, or give up on us so easily?”

“I’m not giving up, I’m just pissed off ok?” he pulled me to him and hugged me tightly, “I love you Chloe, when I see other guys looking at you, it drives me nuts. You’re mine now.”

“How do you think I feel watching those girls at the bar trying to get your attention? This doesn’t even compare to watching that.”

“Chloe, those girls don’t even register with me anymore. When I’m up there singing, you’re the only girl in the room that I even notice. They can try all they want, but I would never even look at them when I have you.”

“That means a lot to me Drake. I love you so much.”

“I love you too. Am I forgiven for being the biggest asshole on Earth?”

“Of course, I’m used to you being that way.” I said as he smacked me on my bottom.

“Good to know, come on, let’s head back. I promise not to kill that guy.”

We made our way back to Danny and Jordan as they finished packing up our stuff.

Jordan looked up as we approached. “Sorry Chloe, I don’t know what I was thinking, and I’m sorry Drake. That was a douche move on my part, it won’t happen again.”

Drake only nodded as he grabbed our things and made his way back to the car. I knew he was still mad, but trying to control it for me and I appreciated it. I avoided Jordan as we walked up the beach and barely spoke to him on the drive back to the house. The less time I spent with him, the better off we would all be.

I didn’t want Drake leaving tomorrow thinking that he couldn’t trust me to be alone while he was gone. I was determined to make up for the mistakes I had made with Logan; for ever putting that doubt in his mind to begin with.

As we pulled up to the house,
