We Are

Chapter 10 Lynny

"I didn't know you could surf!" Cam says with excitement.

"Yeah, I surfed a lot when I was in Italy." I say and smile over at him as we wait for a wave.

"Man, you've been like everywhere."

"Not even close! I didn't get to go to Iceland or half the places I wanted to."

"You'll never have enough time to go everywhere you want." I look at him and can't help but to give him a huge smile.

"Mine,! I yell as I see a wave start to come up.

I ride the wave all the way in, and as I walk up on the sand, some random guy walks up to me.

"Hey I seen you out there and I recognized you. Here's my number, call me." He gives me his number, and I watch him walk away before I drop the paper on the ground.

"Who was that?" I hear and turn to see Nash watching him walk away, the look he has, I can't even explain.

"Just some random guy." I shrug. Its starting to get dark and I know that no one is watching us. I can feel Nash looking at me.

"I love your music." he says in a soft voice, and I finally look at him. All of a sudden he is hugging me, and I can't help but to hug him back. I fight back the tears threatening to spill out of my eyes; Nash had been so important to me.

"I missed you." I whisper, feeling him pull me tighter.

"I missed you so much." he says and then we pull apart look at each other. I give him a sad smile and he does the same, and I walk back to everyone else. Cam is trying to build a fire.

"What was that?" Viv nudges me curiously.

"It was nothing, it won't ever be anything." I say and wink at Viv. Then I walk over to Cam.

"So class, this is how you make a fire." Cam jokes.

"You still haven't made a fire." I point out and he turns to me, faking a glare.

"Please do not sass your teacher." he says and tackles me so he can tickle me.

"Please do not tickle your students!" I yell, trying to get away from him.

"Oh no, I have to, cause you deserve it." he says back simply.

"But I'm hungry!" I complain.

"Okay then, let's go eat." he says and jumps off the ground, pulling me up.

"Well that worked." I say and smile.

"It would be cruel to make a beautiful girl like you go hungry." he says dramatically, but I still turn red. I look around until I see Viv and I give her a panicked look.

She skips over, board in hand, an innocent look on her face. "So what's cookin, good-lookin?"

"Um, I guess I'm going to get some food with Cam?" I say it like a question.

"Yeah, what do you want Viv? Hayes?" Cam asks them.

"Pizza!" Someone yells.

Viv rolls her eyes. "Must it always be pizza? You know if I see it, I have to eat it!" Then she adds, "I'm staying here, so you have to bring it back."

"Yes pizza! I just want pizza, I always want pizza!" I exclaim loudly.

"Let's go get some pizza!" Cam yells, and we head off.

"So do you like having fans and being out there?" Cam asks as we make our way out of the parking lot.

"Yes and no. I love that they love me no matter what but I don't like that they don't really know me." I say and frown.

"Yeah I get the feeling... Why did you break up with Nash the way you did?" He asks, and I freeze.

"Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering, he was so.... yeah."

"I just really didn't know what to do cause I was leaving and he didn't want to stay with me," I ramble on " and then I was just so upset that I hung up,"

"Why though? And why didn't you ever answer his phone calls?" He needs to stop digging, I just want to forget.

"I was too focused to look at my phone and pay attention to him and stuff." I say and I think about my dad trying to get me to have more friends and to just go and live. No one had understood how much I died when me and Viv stopped talking, it almost killed me.

"What are you thinking about?" Cam asks.

"Just about after we broke up, and when Viv wasn't speaking to me." I say quietly.

"When were you guys not speaking?" He asks in shock.

"At the end of that summer we had a bad falling out." I say, and I don't speak for the rest of the drive.
