Saved

Chapter 22

Sawyer POV

"Sawyer." "SAWYER." I groan. "Whaaaaaat."

"Wake up. Let's go catch some surf." I hear Serv say.

"Surf?" I pop my head up and he chuckles. "Yeah, let's go."

I start to get up, "Wait what time is it?"

He smiles, "6AM. You can nap later."

I nod, "Okay."

I get ready and throw on a suit then head downstairs. I see Serv making smoothies for us so I wait and he brings me one plus my meds.

"Thanks."

He nods, "Ready?"

I smile and run outside to the car.

We get to the beach 10 minutes later. And I hop out, bouncing on my feet.

"Excited?" Serv chuckles.

"I got this for you." He hands me a wet suit. "Wow, thanks Serv." And I hug him.

I nod and smile. "Okay, rules." I groan.

He gives me a stern look, "Sawyer, surfing is dangerous. Incredibly dangerous. You know that. One mistake and drowning is a strong possibility."

I nod. "Stay close, only take waves I say, and do not leave the water without telling me. Every wave you ride, come straight back to me. Got it?"

"Yes I got it!"

"Let's go." He says.

I've surfed like 10 times so I know the general idea, but I haven't gone in a few months.

We walk into the water and it looks intimidating. "I won't let anything happen to you." I nod.

We paddle out and chill for a bit. "You ready?" I smile and nod.

"Okay, first, say cheese!" I smile as he takes a photo then zips his phone into his wetsuit.

"You go first." I nod and turn my board and watch the wave come in, "Alright baby, let's go! Paddle!"

I start paddling and stand as the crest hits me, I start riding and hear Serv behind me, I smile and get out of the wave and paddle back to him.

"My turn." I watch as he goes and carves back and forth like a pro.

"Come here," he snaps a photo of both of us, salt water soaking us.

I look at Serv, "My dad is watching." He nods, "He is. He's proud."

I smile, "Can I go again?"

"Yeah."

I start to paddle and then stand up, but realize the wave is bigger than before, which scares me and I hesitate causing me to fall forward, "Sawyer!"

I fall under the water and attempt to swim to the surface, but another wave hits. I'm holding my breath, but feel myself running out of air, which is causing me to panic. Suddenly I feel myself being pulled up.

I open my eyes as I'm hoisted onto a board and see Serv, "You're okay. I gotcha."

I nod my head and let him paddle us in. We get to shore and sit in the sand.

He puts his arm around me and I lean my head on his shoulder. "You okay?"

I nod, "Yeah, just scared me."

"Okay. Ready to head home?" I nod.

We get home and I head to the couch to play Mario kart, blue comes and cuddles me. I feel myself drifting off and before I know it, I'm asleep.
