It's been a couple of months since Tyler's... disappeared. In the mean time, I've been mending bonds between everyone, even Evan.

We've all decided to go to the beach today, just because none of us have been out that much this week. I focus on getting changed rather than Tyler. I throw a checkered long sleeved top, a bikini top and high waisted denim shorts on to the bed and hurriedly wash.

After I've finished washing, I take my clothes that are sprawled out on the bed and put them on. I run over to the mirror and apply makeup before taking my bag and walking out of mine and Lui's bedroom.

I'm shocked to see everyone waiting for me.

"Are we all ready?" Evan says, his muscles bulging out of his top, he makes eye contact with me and I smile back.

"Yeah." We all say in sync.

I link hands with Lui and walk out of the house and on towards the beach.

**TIME SKIP TO WALKING TO THE BEACH**

"God, my feet are killing." I say aloud, and not to anyone in particular.

I kneel down and take my sandals off to examine my feet, great... Blisters. I sigh and stand up straight again. In front of me is Nogla bending down, he looks back at me, as if he's waiting for me to do something.

"Jump on." He says, quite dully in his thick Irish accent.

"If you say so..." I jump onto Nogla's back and he carries me.

"Now I know what it looks like from a giraffes point of view..." I murmur to myself.

Craig obviously hears what I say and let's out his signature laugh.

"Now you've done it..." Nogla says.

He starts to tip me off his back playfully but ends up actually doing it. I shut my eyes and brace for impact of my head smashing against the concrete. Instead, I feel nothing. Just the cool breeze that was there before. I open one eye and I see Lui. Nogla's still holding my legs, but Lui has my head. I reach in and kiss him on the cheek and smile back.

"Nogla, I'm going to kill you... Seriously..." I say as I adjust myself on his back once again.

"I'm... So sorry..." He says in hysterics.

"You better be, although the laughing is making me think otherwise..." I frown.

"Guys we're nearly here!" Craig shouts.

"Yes, finally!" Jonathan yells.

"Nogla! Charge!" I point my finger as David runs onto the beach. I laugh and hop down.

"Look what I brought..." I pull out a plastic beach ball.

"Game. On." Says Delirious as he pairs himself with Craig.

"Nogla." I say and look at him.

"Bring it." Nogla retorts.

We start to play beach volleyball, but soon end it as me and Nogla are losing. We sit away from the other team and pretend we don't see them.

"BLOCKING OUT THE HATERS." I shout in their direction.

I laugh and tilt my head back to see Lui. I stand up and hug him, tightly. He picks me up, bridal style, and walks to the sea shore.

"Shit... It's quite cold..." He says.

"1 2 3!" Before I could react, Lui throws me into the water, I scream before I enter the water and as soon as I get up for more air, he's there again. I find myself running away from him, but not getting that far.

He catches up with me and brings me into the warmest hug I've ever had, followed by the most wonderful kiss. He grabs my face and strokes my cheeks with his thumbs. I smile and rest my head on his chest.

For another 20 minutes at least, we're all messing around in the water, Lui gets out, followed by myself and eventually the other guys. I sit in Lui's arms, he's combing my hair through with his fingers and I shut my eyes against the beating sun.

I put my hand up to block the sun out and peer around the beach. To our left is a family with a lot of kids... How do they manage?

And as I pan my head to the right, I see a familiar man... Staring right at me... My heart sinks into my chest and I sit up on edge...

"What is it?" Lui whispers in my ear before engaging in more conversation.

"T-The man..." I mumble and stare for as long as I dare...
