Althea's POV:
Me and the girls decided to go visit Santana at the hospital to be there for her. We all stopped by the store to get her some of her favorite snacks and presents to make her feel better when she finally wakes up. To be honest I'm kinda scared to see Santana all connected to the machines. She's always been like a sister to me and seeing her like that is gonna make me emotional and I'm not really an emotional person.
When i got there I half expected her to wake up to the sound of all of us in her room. But sometimes life isn't like the movies. You know I'm movies they never truly show you all the bad stuff only the good parts. Sometimes I wish life was only good parts. On the bright side the hospital cafeteria has cheese sticks which made me feel a little better. We all hung out in the hospital till the lady kicked us out because "visiting hours were over" like go fuck a donkey bitch and mind your own business.
After the hospital i couldn't really go home I wanted to be alone for a while without the exasperating questions my parents will inevitably ask me. I went to the only place where I felt I could breath. The beach.
I find myself constantly wanting to go to the beach ever since I saw that boy with the sweet smile. I smile at the thought of him. He serves as a good distraction to the current circumstances. I make my way to the beach and I feel the cool sand on my toes. And for a moment while I stand here on the beach I feel a sense of peace. It's crazy how your world can completely flip in a matter of seconds. I contemplate going into the ocean for a quick swim to clear my mind.
The feeling of having the crisp salty water on my skin made me feel like I was okay and so was everything around me. While in the ocean I suddenly see a group of boys walking over to the beach. I think they're here to surf or at least attempt too. They interrupted my peacefulness and replaced the soothing ocean sounds with the unpleasant sounds of grown men yelling. I internally groan and make my way out of the ocean. The cold breeze hitting me making me shiver. I try to run the best I can to my towel to find any sort of warmth. I can feel the goosebumps on my skin die down a bit.
As I pack up my clothes to leave I note that in order to get to my car I had to pass by the same group of boys that made me internally go mad. I try my best to walk pass them as fast as I can but it seems that I missed my steps and tripped on rock in the sand. Luckily someone was able to catch me. I look up to the sweet stranger that was kind enough to not let me eat shit. And that's when I froze on the spot. It was him. It's like he held on to me like i was dear life.
I didn't know what to say so I said the only thing that came to my mind.
"Thank you for not letting me break my face" I said without a thought. Oh my God why would I say that. I should've just kept walking
"I'd hate to see you break such a pretty face" he smiled at me kindly. There was something in his eyes that made him stand out. I can't explain it. He snapped me out of my thoughts-
"have we met before?" He questioned
"I don't think so I think I'd remember a pretty boy like you" I smiled. Technically I didn't lie because we have seen each other but we didn't technically meet and the dreams don't count either. He's still holding me almost like he's scared id still fall.
He laughed at my reply " well maybe we should meet... we'll I mean-umm I'm Seth and it's very nice to meet you"
He's so adorable I can't help but to smile whenever he talks. " I'm Althea and we can hang out sometime maybe you can show me how to surf" I smile
It's almost like his ears perked up at the thought of him teaching me how to surf.
"Yes I'd love that-"
"How about Thursday at 4?" I cut him off before he can get tangled up in his words he's so pure.
"Yes it's a date" he said it so fast I don't think he knew what he said
I giggled " perfect" I got out of his grip and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you for not letting me fall on my ass" I could see him turn bright red he's so bewitching. I walked over to my car as I hear him yell, " I'll see you on Thursday at 4 Althea" he was grinning ear to ear. Hopefully now my dreams will have new scenarios.
