Remember Me

Chapter 17

It was early in the morning, I woke up & got dressed. Naomi had texted me to meet we at the beach. I texted her back with a 'ok'. Guess I had to rechanged, I got my bathing suit, I put of swim shorts & a bandeau on. For me I can't stand those swim underwear type things it just weird but I love swim shorts. But then the tan is so uneven. I walked down stairs to grab my bag so I can put my towel, flip flops, sunscreen, a cap, money, & other stuff I couldn't remember. Aunt Jill was leaving tomorrow, wow fours day almost past. I'm going to miss her so much.

As I got to the beach, I noticed a statue by the ice cream stand. I walked by it & I swear to god it moved. I looked back & it stood still, this is freaking me out. I started to run & then I bumped into someone sending their ice cream come on their shirt. Can this get any worse or wait it has, someone was taking a video & my face flushed with embarrassment.

"Watch where you going!" A male voice snapped at me. I didn't look at him.

"I-I didn't see you" I whispered.

"My shirt is ruined!" He snapped making me flinched at his tone. "Can you hear me, or do I have to spell it out!"

"I-I I'm sorry, I'll uhh pay for it" I stuttered. My friend is waiting for me, wondering where the hell I am.

"This shirt cost, $38" he huffed. I got a text from Naomi, wondering where I am. I looked at it & put it in my pocket. "I'm talking to you!"

"Well I'll get it to the dry cleaners if you keep calm" I looked around causing other people to look at us. "Please keep your voice down"

"Whatever I don't want to hear this 'please' sh!t" he stormed off. What a rude & pissed boy I mean boyish man. Look like he was in the twenties.

"Well I'm mature & not a pissed off boyish man who is yelling & snapping at teen girl" I muttered. He was like 4 feet away & he snapped his head towards me, I'm guessing he had a bad day.

"What did you say missy"

"Look I don't want to cause trouble or anything but I need to go & I don't have time for thi-" just the he cut me off but griping my arm tight. I squeaked. I'm diffidently never coming to the beach again.

"Missy I advise you not to make another comment" he paused. "Or I'll make you pay, Grace Falls" he just said my whole name, what the actual hell!? My face turned into confused but then I was freaking out inside. Who the hell was he? Just then I saw Todd walking by the ice cream stand, & noticed me. I was so terrified at how this guy knows my name, my eyes started to water. Todd had walked up to me just as my eyes blurred.

"Grace, what happe-" I hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me. "What happened?" He hushed so his voice was quietly soothing.

"I-I was running away from this statue thingy, It- it was creepy & I saw it moved. Then I ran & bumped into someone, t-they got mad & snapped at me" I sobbed. "Just then I made a comment & he returned back to me &,& gripped my arm, tightly. He s-said ' I'll make you pay Grace Falls" I wailed into his chest. "He knew my name"

"Shhh, you need to calm down, he's gone" he rubbed his hands down my back calming me, then he moved his head snuggling in my hair. I was kinda shocked I didn't think he had this caring side of me, what am I talking about I'm sure he is caring & he is handling it well. "Come sit on the bench" I nodded.

We sat on a empty bench, my both hands twiddling my thumbs, the tears are stained on my cheeks. I closed my eyes & took a deep breath. Just then Todd's arm was around my shoulder. I opened my eyes & looked at him.

"Close your eyes & lay your head on my shoulder" he said so soothingly. I rested my head on his shoulder like he said. Also closing my eyes.
A few minutes later.
