Kie pov

After spending a long 9 hour drive cramped in the back seat of a taxi cab, I'm finally back in Outer Banks. It's crazy to say that even though I've been gone for quite some time but it feels like I never left.

I forgot how amazing it felt to have the burning sun shining in on my face, god it felt amazing compared to New York's mild weather. I must've zoned out because I didn't even hear my mom sneak up on me .

"KIE" my mother screams way too loudly i my ear. " I've misted you so much" she says as she pulls me into her embrace and hush me. I forgot how comforting it was to be in my mother's arms again, so instead of saying anything I just hug and squeeze her 2x as hard as she's hugging me.

After a moment of hugging my mom finally pulls back and rushes me inside the house. My mom is the only person who knows that I've come back in town and she also wanted to surprise my dad. "Mike" my mom yells as she calls out for my dad. " looks who here" she says with a big smile on her face. "Who is it" my dad yells back as I can hear his feet steps heading in our direction.

"KIE" my dad yells with with a huge smile on his face as he lifts me off my feet. "Oh god I've missed you so much" he says with a crack in his voice. "I've missed you too dad"' I reply back to him just as emotional just as he is. "So how have you been" he asks. "I've been better" I reply back to him with a forced smile on my face.

It seem as if my dad had caught onto my act because just as he was about to open his mouth and address me about it, I quickly change the subject and ask "So how have you and mom been". It seemed to have work because my mom quickly goes into details about how her and my father have been for the last 5 years.

As she goes into detail I kind of zone out, I've been trying to avoid the topic of talking about my "friends". At first I thought that I could do this, I thought that once I step back into outer banks that all my old feelings of dread would simply disappear but it's actually the opposite.

I can't stop thinking about what they're going to say to me, I mean what could we say?. There isn't much that we could talk about other than the fact that oh I've completely ignored and left them behind for 5 years without any warning. I sigh as I think about that, I really wish I'd never left but there's nothing I can do about that now.

In the middle of talking I quickly cut my mom off and tell her that I'm going to the beach. I really needed to go and clear my head and figure out what I'm going to do next. My mom was taken back for a second but I can also tell that she understood, she and my dad just pulls me into a hug and tell me to be safe and careful and that they love me.

General pov

As kie arrives to the beach she automatically feels some of the stress fall off her shoulders. She finally feel like she can actually breath again and it been a long time since she felt that way. Sitting at the beach and just hearing the waves crash into each other is exactly what kie needed. New York was always so loud and crowded but here she feels as if she's the only person in the world.

As kie is laying on the sand listening to the sounds of the waves, for a moment she thought she had heard something but as she sits up and turns her head to look around to see where the noise is coming from she doesn't see anything or anyone so she blows it off and lays back down. Not even a second later she hears it again, so she quickly gets up and goes to look around the beach to see where the noise is coming from.

As kie is walking around she soon thinks that it is pointless and that maybe she actually was hearing something, so she turns around and start heading back the way she came but then she hears something- no someone. So she quickly goes to who the person is and the closer she gets to the person the more the figure she sees stop looking like a shadow.

When she finally reaches a safe distance from the shadowy like figure she calls out and ask the them if they are okay, but it's like they don't hear her. So kie then starts to move and get closer. She then asks the person again if they are okay and they just start yelling at her. Telling her to "fuck off" and to "leave them alone" and if kie was any other person she would've left them alone but being the person she is she thinks that she shouldn't leave this person all by themselves.

She then moves closer to where she's right in front of whoever the person and she puts her hand on there shoulder to try to talk to them but as she does this the person quickly grabs her hand and yells at her. But she isn't thinking about that, hell she couldn't even think at all because the person she's been so worried about and the person who's been so rude was no other than JJ Maybank. The guy that she left behind.
