Following The Red Gunned Road (my chemical romance)

Chapter 19

We all walked down to the sand. Mikey and Alicia were hand in hand while me, Frank, Gerard, Bob and Ray were all linking arms, trying to dodge people so we didn’t knock anyone over. When we finally found a clear point on the sand, we sat down.

Everyone pulled out some towels to lie on. Gerard got a few out from his car for me, him, Frank and Bob because they forgot to go back and get some. I wasn’t even going to question why Gerard already had towels in his car. I thanked him as he gave me a towel. I unfolded it and laid it down on the sand near Gerard. I laid down on it but I didn’t realise that everyone slipped away to get changed.

“Lisa, you can’t sunbath in a top and jeans” giggled Alicia.
I looked up at her, she was still wearing her black skinny jeans, but she now had a white bikini top on. She looked so gorgeous, I felt so jealous.
“I don’t have a bikini” I said quietly
She sighed, “Come on” she said. Before I could answer, she grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the small shop at the top. When we got in there, she walked up to the bikini rack. Her hand was still in mine so I didn’t really have any other choice but follow her.

“Which one do you like?” she asked looking at the bikini’s
“Um…” I looked at her. What was she doing? “I don’t know” I replied
“This is a nice one… what do you think of this?” she said picking up a bikini; it was black with pink polka-dots. 
“I like it” I said
“You do?” 
“Yeah, it’s really nice”
“Great” she said, I looked at the door then back to Alicia but when I looked, she was gone. I walked around the clothes rack and saw her at the till. I jogged over to her and she held out a bag for me. I looked at it confused and took it out of her hands.
“Now you can sunbath” she smiled. I looked in the bag and saw the bikini.
“Oh my god, Alicia, you didn’t have to buy me it” 
“I know, I wanted to”
“Thank you so much”
I smiled at her and she grinned back
“You will seriously look amazing in that, heads are going to be turning everywhere” she winked at me. I raised my eyebrows and laughed.
“Come on, I’ll show you where the changing rooms are” she smiled and started to pull me again.

“Here they are” she said as we got to the changing room, “I’ll wait here for you”
“Thanks” I replied and walked into the changing rooms.

There were loads of cubicles inside, I walked into one and closed the door. I pulled out the black and pink bikini from the bag and looked at it. I sighed and undressed myself; I then slipped on the bikini. I turned around and looked in the mirror, I hated what I saw. I have always hated my body; I was way too skinny because I hardly ever used to eat. I always cooked meals for my foster parents and never myself. I let tears fall down my face but quickly wiped them away. I grabbed my clothes and put them in the bag, I then started heading out. When I got outside, I saw Alicia sitting on a step, she quickly jumped up when she saw me and walked over.
“Wow, you look great” she said as she looked me up and down with a smile on her face
“Mhm” I mumbled
“What? Don’t you like it?” Her smile suddenly faded
“No, no” I said quickly, “I love it… I… just don’t really… um… like my body” I murmured. 
“Nonsense, you have a lovely figure sweetie, you’re a gorgeous girl” she said and I smiled slightly. She smiled back and gently slid her hand into mine.
“Come on… let’s see what the maniacs are up to”
I laughed slightly and we started to head over to the guys.

When we got there, everyone was sitting down on the sand. Frank seemed to be building a sandcastle with Gerard; Mikey and Ray were talking and Bob seemed to just be staring into outer space.
“Were amazing” Frank shouted as he jumped up.
I turned around and looked at him; him and Gerard high fived and I noticed behind Frank that they had finished their sandcastle.
“You two are like two 5 year olds” Alicia said and I laughed.
As she said this, I noticed Mikey jumped up and he walked over to her. They both kissed and went to sit back down. I turned back around from looking at them and I saw Frank skipping over to me, he stood in front of me.
“You look good” he smiled at me

“Thanks” I slighty smiled back
“Now that you have a bikini… does that mean I can chuck you in the water?” he said the last bit fast. I shook my head quickly but before I could say anything, he picked me up and started running towards the sea. 
“FRANKKKK! PUT ME DOWNNN!!” I was screaming but he didn’t listen. When we reached the water, he ran in and I could feel the cold water on my feet.
“FRANK IERO! PUT ME DOWN!” I screamed
“Put you down… okay” he laughed and dropped me into the cold water; I fell over but quickly stood up again and gasped for air. I wiped the hair out of my face and looked at Frank, he stood there laughing. 
“I don’t know what you’re laughing at” I said and pulled him under water with me. I opened my eyes under the water and looked at him; he was smiling as he pulled me into him. I smiled back and our lips met, but we quickly pulled away as we ran out of breath. We floated to the surface and both smiled.
“You know this would be so much easier if the guys knew” I giggled
“I know, we will tell them soon, I promise… I love you”
I smiled and pushed him back into the water playfully. I then started to run back to the guys. Frank quickly caught up with me and tackled me onto the floor. I laughed, “I love you too” I said and he looked at me in the eyes.
“You have a good way of showing that” he laughed
“No… that was just me getting my own back” I laughed back.
He climbed of me and we both walked up to everyone else.

After a while of chatting, sunbathing, playing and laughing, we all decided to call it a day and go home as it was getting pretty late.
“Where are the toilets around here?” I asked before we left.
Gerard pointed out to where they were; I thanked him and walked towards them. When I got there, I was just about to walk in but got pulled back by someone. I tried to scream but the person covered my mouth as he dragged me behind a wall. He pushed me against the wall and I looked at him, he had blonde messed up hair and he looked pretty drunk. I tried to speak but he wouldn’t let me. His face got really close to me; he pressed his lips hard against mine as he pushed me against the wall, holding onto my breasts. I squirmed and tried to push him of me but he was to strong. I could feel tears in my eyes, he wouldn’t let go of me until I heard a voice, I couldn’t make out who it was or what they said but the man did suddenly let go of me and run off. I wiped my mouth and looked up.
“So, you really love me, do you?” it was Frank, he looked really hurt and I could see the tears in her eyes
“Frank… no I” 
“SAVE IT, LISA! YOU STUPID SLAG!” he screamed and ran off.
I tried to chase after him but I felt so dizzy, I could hardly move. I looked up at the sky and the sun shone straight into my eyes. Everything was spinning and my cheeks felt wet from tears. I suddenly felt myself falling to the ground and everything turned black.
