When they got to the guys' room, Luke held the door and said "ladies first" laughing when the rest of the guys walked in. They decided to do the short five minute group interview now since there was nothing better to do. Luke went and got the camera and helped set it up. She asked the questions, and when it was over, they were bored again.
"Guys! What are we doing tonight? " Ashton asked.
"Well there's a girl now so there are many possibilities" Luke joked.
"Why are you blushing all the time?" Ash asked Violet.
"Leave her alone Ash," Mikey said," she's just a little nervous that's all." He said wrapping his arm around her.
"I have an idea guys!" Calum said standing at the window.
" What's that?" Mikey said, his arm still around Violet, eyeballing her up and down.
"Let's go to the beach! I could use a swim!" Calum said.
"Yeah!" Ash and Luke agreed.
Someone knocked at the door.
"HouseKeeping!"she knocked.
"Come in!" Luke Yelled.
"I'm Donna, I'll only be a minute."
"I'm not going unless doll face goes." Mikey continued.
"What do you say Violet? You wanna come?" Luke asked.
"To the beach...uhhh..."she thought unsure.
"Come on. Pleeeease. It'll be fun!!!" Mikey whined.
"Please!" All of the guys joined in.
" please" Mikey said making a puppy dog face and putting his head on her shoulder.
"Fine, fine I'll come geez."She said finally.
"Well you guys can stay here and get ready," Mikey said," I'll take Violet to her room."
They started walking towards her room and he noticed she was acting nervous again.
"Hey," he said bumping her playfully, " are you just super shy or do you really not like me?" He laughed.
"I like you," she said blushing" how could I not you're Michael Clifford. I'm just a little stunned. I don't know what I'm doing here."
He stopped walking and looked at her. he got next to her ear, holding her arms, pinning her to the wall.
"Maybe," he said breathing heavily in her ear," it's fate that brought you here." He whispered.
"Because my Boss getting knocked up is totally fate." She laughed.
"I'm serious Violet." He said.
"Come on Mikey." She said making up his hair a little.
They got to her room and she opened her suitcase. He saw that there was more than one bikini.
"Oooh let me help." He said more serious than she thought he was.
"Okay. Choose one then."she joked.
They reached for them simultaneously and when they did somehow, their fingers interlocked perfectly.
"Look at that," he said," your hands fit perfectly in mine."
This made Violets heart almost stop. Mikey picked a black lace bikini. She started to undress but remembered she wasn't alone and she went into the bathroom. When she put it on, she noticed her scars were perfectly visible. She debated on whether to go or not but finally decided that it would be too dark for anyone to notice. She quickly culled her hair into a messy bun, applied more red lip stick, and put on her glasses. She walked out of the bathroom and Mikey's jaw dropped.
"You look..."he lost words.
"Oh shut up let's go" she giggled. She went to grab for her flannel to put on "incase she got cold" but he stopped her.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Getting my flannel. I'm cold."she said half true.
"Here,"he said taking off his long sleeved shirt with IDIOT painted on the front of it," keep this on, you won't be cold."
His shirt swallowed her. Blushing, warm, and secrets protected, she grabbed her purse and her camera and they headed out the door.
"Hey Luke," Mikey said over the phone," I've already got my trunks on. Meet us in the lobby?"
"Yeah. On our way" Luke said.
"Are you alright?" Michael asked.
"Yeah I'm okay. Just a little home sick."
"Oh, well take care of that."he muttered.
Pretty soon all the guys were with us and we were walking to the beach.
"She's wearing your shirt dude. "Calum said.
"Yeah Calum, he gave it to her dingus." Luke snapped jokingly.
"That's enough you weirdos."Mikey saved himself.
Finally, they were at the beach. There weren't many people there. There was an abandoned bonfire.
"Perfect."Ashton said.
They all sat around the campfire for a while as Violet took pictures. Luke and Ashton left and came back a few minutes later, half drunk with a cooler.
"Here Violet."Luke said handing her a beer.
"I'm not 21 yet Luke remember?" She laughed.
"We won't tell." Half drunk Ashton laughed.
Violet took more pictures and then the guys all went to the water leaving her alone in front of the warm fire with a cooler of beer. She sat there, sipping beer after beer and looking at the pictures.
"What a day it has been."half sober Mikey said sitting next to Violet, wrapping his arm around her.
"Why is that?" She laughed at him barely being able to hold his head up.
"Because. I'm drinking with my best friends in the whole world and I met the girl I'm gonna marry one day" he laughed an adorable, drunk laugh.
"Oh, you're going to marry Donna from housekeeping? How cute."I joked.
He grabbed my hand and started to pull me to the water. He would only budge to let her finish what was left of her 6th beer and to pull off his protection shirt. He pulled her into the warm, LA water and they all five splashed and swam until they had no energy. Calum, Ash, and Luke had passed out in the sand. Mikey and Violet were sitting next to the water in front of the fire trying to be warm.
"I need another beer." Violet said, half awake.
"Mmmmm I think you've had enough."he said jokingly, sipping from his own bottle.
"Uh! Come on Mikey give me a drink!"she said reaching and reaching for the beer. Eventually she reached so far that she fall over and she was on his chest. There eyes locked. They both leaned in for a kiss, she bit her lip, and snatched his beer. She took off running and drinking it. He ran after her, picked her up over his shoulder, sat her down where they were previously sitting, and sat next to her.
"Wanna know something?" He asked.
"Hmm?"she said, finishing off his beer.
"I'm glad you're here. And I want to get to know you better."
"That would be cool. But maybe we should do that when I haven't had 7 and a half beers."she laughed.
"Seven and a half?"Mikey laughed.
"Luke poured half of one on my mouth when we were in the water," she laughed," long story short, I think he was trying to get me drunk."
They both started laughing until they could hardly breathe. Mikey and Violet sat on the beach until they saw the sun rise. Then they went back into the hotel. Where Violet took her secret pills, hid her secret scars, and developed her pictures.
