(DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THE EVENTS IN THIS CHAPTER ARE REAL. QUINCY DAVIS DID NOT LOSE HER TOES)

For the next couple of days, I had gotten closer to Gabbie - who now has my number - along with getting closer to the boys who were almost always busy. Jack and I have been getting closer than any of the rest of the boys and I started to develop a crush.

Right now, I'm driving to the beach by myself to surf in Ingrid's car because Ingrid needed her sleep and I needed time to myself. I got the icebox, my backpack, my leash, and the surfboard the boys gave me and set my stuff down. I attach the leash to my ankle and the surfboard before going out to the ocean. I waited and looked around. I saw a shark fin and panicked. I turned around and quickly started going to the shore but the shark bit at my feet. He got some of the board and all of my toes and I got the shallow part and he left me alone. I called Ingrid but she didn't answer so I called Jack. He picked up.

"Jack," I sobbed as I went over to my stuff. "A shark—"

"A shark what?" he replied. "Did it bite you?"

"It got m-m-my toes and s-s-some of the board you guys g-g-got me-me."

I sobbed harder.

"JONAH WAKE THE F**K UP! ELYSE GOT BIT BY A SHARK!" His tone got softer as he said, "Which beach are you at?"

"Will Rogers State Beach."

"I'm coming, okay?"

"O-o-okay."

I put my towel to try to stop the bleeding and I rocked back and forth as I waited for Jack. He showed up with Jonah and Jonah took my stuff and took Ingrid's car as Jack picked me up and walked fast to his car. He put me in the passenger seat and went to the driver's seat. We drove to the ER as I panicked.

Could I get blood loss from this? I can't die yet. I don't want to leave Jack. I haven't told him yet. Louis needs me. My parents need me. Ingrid wouldn't know what to do with herself. What if she does something bad? What if —?

I came back to reality when Jack was carrying me into the ER with Jonah right behind us.

"A shark bit off her toes," Jack told the receptionist.

She had him carry me back but didn't let Jonah come back. That's when I blacked out.

Jack's POV

They wouldn't let me stay in the room with her and I went back to Jonah who had her phone in his hand with his phone in his other hand.

"She told me her password," I told him as he handed me her phone.

I opened it and called Ingrid.

"Hello?" Ingrid said as she picked up the phone.

"It's Jack," I said, panicked. "I'm at the ER with Elyse and Jonah. Elyse got bit by a shark."

"Where?"

"Her toes."

"Same thing happened to our mom." I heard rustling. "She's the middle child and got bit. I'm going to call mom. She's still in town."

"Okay."

I hung up and put her phone in my back pocket. I looked at Jonah anxiously and he understood.

"Yeah, I know, you like Elyse," he said. "I can tell. If her mom turned out okay, Elyse will be okay."

"You don't know that," I replied.
