Surfer Girl // A.I (completed)

fifty-three

< Sunday >

{ Tatum }

I have to surf today and luckily the hickeys on my neck are faded. Lauren and I did some of those DIY get-rid-of-hickeys tricks. Anne and I actually stayed up a while last night. We just talked and she wanted to make sure I was okay.

When I went to leave the house, Harry was up and waiting by the front door,

"Hey dude. You know it's 5 am right?" I joked,

"Can I go with you?" He asked,

"I don't surf until 11. You guys are coming then" I told him,

"But I want to go now" he spoke. I took a moment and sighed,

"Okay but go let your mom know" I reasoned. Harry nodded and ran up the stairs.

Harry came back with a big grin and we got going.

When we got to the beach, Harry insisted on helping. He carried my backpack and one of my board bags while I got the other,

"Hey! Good morning" Chris smiled softly, "And if I remember correctly from last time, you're Harry" Chris eyed Harry. Harry nodded and Chris put the pass around his neck,

"You know Tatum needs a board runner if something goes wrong with the one she's using. Would you want to?" Chris asked him. Harry nodded and smiled at me.

We walked over to the tent we would be at and I put on the red rash guard. It was long sleeve so it covered my bruised wrist up. Calihan came over and took Harry to do something so Chris sat me down,

"Jeremy is being sent home. That was unacceptable and I'm so sorry you were put in that situation. Hurley is now dealing with it legally" he hugged me. I thanked him and leaned back on the sand to relax before I surfed.

With 11:00 rolling around, I grabbed my board and bounced around as I anxiously waited to get in the water,

"Good luck sweetheart" Anne gave me a brief hug. I hugged her back and pulled back with a gasp at who was now walking up behind her.

{ Ashton }

"Ashton!" My girl's face lit up. I smiled as she dropped her board, running towards me. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. I knew this hug was more than her missing me- I mean she's only been gone for a couple of days. It was a comfort thing for what had happened.

I gently lowered her back to her feet and she looked up at me, her hands holding my shirt,

"Hey, I'm not mad or anything. Go surf your cute butt off then I'll give you all the cuddles you want and you can talk to me about it" I kissed her head. She nodded, jumped up and pecked my lips, then turned and grabbed her board running off.

My mum stepped next to me,

"Didn't know you were coming" she hugged me,

"I already had the flight planned actually. Then Tatum got hurt so" I sighed,

"She's a mess. She's scared" Mum told me, "She told me she felt like she was with her dad"

My heart ripped,

"Yeah. She had a bad childhood" I shook my head, "She and I will talk later"

Mum nodded and let Harry and Lauren finally hug me.
