"Well," He leaned in close "Don't tell her I told you but," He made sure Lily was still far away. "She followed me around like a little duck, and if a girl came close she would cling to me," Jason let out a laugh remembering it

Wren laughed with him, “Do you think she likes you more then a friend?” He asked.

Nova laughed quietly. "Never really imagined Lily clinging to a boy."

"Yeah, she doesn't seem like that kinda girl, but she easily falls in love even if she doesn't notice it herself." Jason looks at Wren pondering over his question "Not sure to be honest." Ashton led Lily far enough away where no one could hear them. "Why did you bring me over here?" Ripping her arm out Ashton's grip "Look, I need to know, Do you like Wren? Or maybe it's Jason." This was silly she smiled "Yes it hurts to see Wren, but I barely know the guy. And Jason I will always love Jason he was my first love." Ashton didn't know if he should be relieved or more on guard. "If that's all let's go back."

Wren shrugged and looked at the water, “Why do you all like swimming so much?” He asked. After the incident he never really grasped the idea of swimming or being in a large body of water.

"Good way to blow off some steam and cool off at the same time." Jason sees Lily in the distance coming back. "Remember don't tell her anything." He said jumping back into the water.

“Got it.” He winked at Jason before picking up the guitar and made it look like he was just finishing a song.

Nova laughed again. "I won't. Promise."

"So, what happened while we were gone?" Lily asked making her way over to Nova.

Nova smiled brightly. "Nothing…"

Wren strummed a few chords, “Just discussing why you all love water so much.” He answered.

Ashton's reading people sensor tingled "Mhm. Sure." Ashton didn't feel like swimming at the moment so he sat in the grass. "Lily come join, no one else is swimming with me," Jason said in fake sadness. She run and jumped on top of him sending both of them under the water.

Wren laughed a little and played a Beetles song as they swam in the water.

Nova kissed Wren on the cheek. "Come on! You should swim with us!"

Wren blushed a little, “No, I don’t swim.” He said, continuing to play.

"Alright, well, the water's cold anyway, I guess."

“it’s not because it’s…cold…” He mumbled.

Jason pulled Lily close, while everyone was doing their own thing. "I just wanted to let you know, before I leave again in a few days. I like you." Lily pushed him away laughing "You can't play those kinds of jokes," She splashed him.

"Then what is it?"

Wren suddenly felt very flustered and nervous, I shouldn’t have said that. I should not have said that. He thought, “Nothing, sorry I shouldn’t have said anything.”

Nova kissed his cheek again. "Com on tell me."

"Wren, you sure you're okay?" Lily leaves Jason behind and runs to Wren. "You look pale. Do you want to go get some water to drink really quick.?" She looked over to Nova "He really doesn't look well."

“Well, umm.. you see umm…the thing is that… that a while ago…” He started, he took a deep breath in to calm himself, “My younger brother drowned a few years ago and…I couldn’t swim so I couldn’t save him..” He said quietly.

Without thinking, Lily wrapped her arms around him "I'm so sorry!"

Wren hugged her back, “I-It’s not your fault, it was my fault for not knowing how to swim.” He never said that out loud before. He’s always blamed himself for his death because he was the older brother he was supposed to protect him from tha and he didn’t. And the beating got worse after his death.
