Marlon talked to his mom when he found out you guys were moving back so he's staying with you guys then he's just going to leave on the same plane as you guys.It's been a few weeks since Marlon got here in New Jersey and you guys only have 3 weeks till you move back to Australia. So today you guys are with your friends.

Alex: So is this that Ari or Marlon guy you used to talk about 24/7 

May:Probably Marlon cause she never shut up about him

Marlon: I'm Marlon and you two are

May: May and Alex

*Later* 

You and Marlon are sitting in your room when you get up and start packing while listening to music.

Marlon: Why are you packing we still have three weeks

You: But three weeks fly by

Marlon: Alirght

You: And technically it's the rest of this week then the next two weeks

Marlon: You're right

He stood up and walked over to you.Marlon: Promise me one thing that even if Ari and Bodhi are playing a prank with the whole dating thing that you won't take it iout on everyone else on the team

You: I promise

*Next few weeks*

For the past few weeks you and Marlon have been with Alex and May. It's a day before you guys leave and your mom is packing her stuff so you guys have everything ready by 6 in the morning.

*Later*

You woke up and pulled this on (it's winter in New Jersey)\/

You guys put everything in the taxi then you guys left for the airport.

*Skip drive*

You guys grabbed your bags and walked in. It didn't take long till they called you guys to board your plane.You put your bags in the shelves then sat down. You all three got seats together.

*Skip flight*

You guys landed and after you grabbed your bags you saw your dad,the Gibsons not Ari at least not that u could see, and the Shore Haven board riders holding a banner that said "Welcome home Shay". Before you knew it Ari stepped in front of the banner with his arms open wide waiting on you to hug him. This was the photo everyone got of you and Ari.\/

Ari sat you down and starred at you then pulled you into a tight hug like that again.

Ari:*whispering* I'm so sorry about that prank that Bodhi and I pulled I know it hurt you

You: It's ok you showed up today that's all that matter*whispering back*

You guys pulled apart from the hug then everyone else hugged you but once everyone pulle away you noticed L.B Just standing there crying.

You: Little bird I'm so sorry

She took off out of the airport and you followed her.

L.B: How can you do this ti me we were like best friends

You: I know L.B and I'm sorry but I put everyon through so much they needed a break

L.B: You left me sitting in my room starring at pictures we took together thinking that I did something wrong

You: Oh little bird you could never do anything wrong i just needed a break from here that's all

L.:*yelling*A break for 4 months really i get it if it was for at least a week but 4 months come on Shay don't play dumb you never really wanted to come back you wanted to feel like little miss perfect in New Jersey

You stood there in shock as she got into the car. You turned around to see Poppy and Bodhi.

Bdhi: She's right isn't she you never actually wanted to come back

You: How would you know you nebver even came to visit but yes i wanted to come back that's all i would talk about is coming back and getting to see my siset heck i was even going to come without mom knowing just to surprise that was until I found out  we were moving back

Poppy: We were coaght up with comps

You: It's always about surfing comps none of you except for Ari came to the air port to try and convince me to stay none of you came and stayed six weeks with me while i was in New Jersey only Marlon him and Ari both had comps and they still managed to see me

You walked off and stood by the doors of the airport you got a call when Ari and Marlon walked out laughing and talking.You answered the phone it was the hospital they had told you that your friend May was shot twice once in the chest and once in the back of the head.You stood there shocked.Ari stopped walking with Marlon he walked up to you.

Ari: Hey you ok

You: *softly and almost in tears* No

Ari hugged you like this  while you cried into his chest./\

Ari: Shh...sh.shhhh... hey come on let's go come one let's get you home

Thommo: Where are you staying Shay we'll drop you off

You didn't say anything but you slowly slid you ohon in your pocket and hugged Ari back.

Mom: She's staying with her dad

Ari picked you up bridal style and carried you to the car.He sat inside the car sitting you bside him and putting your head on his shoulder. He rubbed your arm while Thommo and Abby put your bags in the car. You're still silently crying.You guys soon left for your dad's house.

*Skip drive*

Ari carries you insideand puts you in your bed while Thommo and your dad bring your bags into your room.Once they were done the three guys walk out and into the kitchen,

Dad: Hey Thommo can Ari stick around sh'll wnat to see him when she wakes up and she won't be ready to leave the house

Thommo: Yeah of course well Abby's waiting so I better get going Ari behave

And with that Thommo left and Ari and your dad were the only ones up

*Later*

It's been an hour since Ari out you in your bed and you jus now woke up. You walked out of your room and into the kitchen.

You: Dad Ari anyone 

Just then Ari walked into the kitchen.

Ari: You dad went to Bodhi's comp

You: Why didn't you go

Ari: I told Manu I wouldn't be surfing for a few days cause I needed a break but I really just want to stay and take care of you
