Tiffany's POV


As we waited for the results of my x-ray my Mum kept shaking her head at me "All I said was to be careful, does this look like being careful?" I smile

"Mum, it was my own fault. The boys looked after me we even had a BBQ and got to go swimming, this place they took me too was amazing!" she looks at me and smiles

"So you had fun?" I must have blushed because she suddenly looks at me and asks

"What's his name?" I look at her shocked

"What do you mean?"

"Come on Tiffany. I'm your mother I know when you have a crush or like a guy and that blush tells me something happened today?" I smile wider this time thinking of Drake and I in the water and then behind the cave

"So, who is he. Am I going to meet him?" she asks and I nod

"Yeah, he's coming over tomorrow and Mum he's a dream. Charming, sexy and well gorgeous!" I exclaim as the doctor comes in.

We look up and he says "Yep, it's broken but a clean break so we'll plaster it and have you using crutches for a while then I'll see you again in 2 weeks to see how it's healing?" we both nod and Mum whispers

"I hope he was worth it?" I laugh and the doctor looks at me

"You'll see tomorrow!" I assure her


I got a long lecture from my Dad about doing things that are too dangerous but I told him I had the time of my life and well he didn't say much after that. Jo, came back not long after we'd gotten back and asked "Is it broke? Rusty just told me? Are you okay?" I smile and we look at the coloured fibre glassed cask over my ankle

"Yep. I'm fine" Jo laughs

"I hear you had a good time?" I blush a little wondering what he'd told her

"Yeah, she had too much fun I think" Mum says and we all laugh.

I tried to shower but it was a mission. I got my clothes on and was lying down when Jo came in to say goodnight and to find out if the gossip she'd heard was true. She sat on my bed and looked at me and asked "So, I was right. You're going out with Drake!" she screams at me

"Settle down" I say and she laughs

"Well I have news too?" I look at her and she's smiling with a slight blush

"He asked you out?"

"And we made out all afternoon!" she says excitedly

"Wow, how would have thought today would have ended like this?"

"I didn't think you'd go through with going. Let alone come back with a boyfriend AND a broken ankle" I took a deep breath in and asked Jo to pass my phone.

I opened it and sent a text

'Night babe. Can't wait to see you tomorrow x'

it didn't take long to get a reply

'hey there my sexy mud warrior girlfriend. How's the ankle?'

I smile

'Sore but it's in a cast so it just needs to heal'

'I'm so sorry'

I smile and send back

'how many times do I have to say it. I did it myself. I should have listened to you'

'Well what's done is done, sleep well and I'll be over in the morning. Night xo'

'Night xo'


Jo looks at me "Wow, that was intense. Are you sure about this Tiff? I mean you've rushed into things before and it didn't turn out so well?" I sigh

"I know but he makes me feel special and the butterflies and tingling I get when he touches me. I can't explain but I really like it" she smiles "Oh I understand. Now rest and I'll wake you when you sexy hot boyfriend gets here" I laugh

"okay night Jo and thanks"

"Anything for my sister" I lay there for a moment when I hear a noise outside.

I sit up quickly and see a figure outside my door to my balcony and just as I'm about to scream a body comes creeping me "Tiffany, you still awake?" hang on I know that voice?

It was Rusty "Rusty?" I ask

"Yeah, I came to see if you're okay?" I lean over to my bedside lamp and switch it on.

I see him standing next to my bed with some flowers in his hands "For me?" I point to the flowers and he nods and hands them to me

"I'm so sorry Tiffany. I didn't mean for all this to happen?" he rubs the back of his neck and I realise he does it when his nervous.

Drake does it as well? Must be a guy thing?


I pat my bed and he sits, turning slightly my way to look at me. He looked sad "You okay?" I ask touching his hand.

He pulls it away "Yeah" he waits for a minute before speaking again

"I just came to check up on you okay. So I better go?" he stood up and I was confused.

I wanted him to stay. I don't know why so as he started to walk away I asked in a whisper "Can you stay with me Rusty?" he turns and looks at me

"You sure?" I nod and he comes over and wraps his arms over my shoulder and pulls me close.

I nestle into his chest and smell lynx and cigarette, closing my eyes. I start to fall asleep in seconds, thinking about the best day I've had in years and then I see Drake's smiling face and I smile as I fall asleep.
