Taste

Part 1

"Jessica!" My mother yells whilst running after me around upstairs and i put my things in my bag. "Please just listen to me!" She begs grabbing my wrist. I yank my arm out of her grasp. "Don't touch me!" I say in a cold tone. "How could you huh?" I say my voice rising from the rage built up inside me. "How could u do this to dad.. to me." My voice breaking as I ran my shaky hand through my wavy hair. "Honey.. it's been a year, you weren't supposed to find out about this." I scoff as a tear escaped my icy blue eyes. "what find a man naked in your bed. Im done were a happy fucking family. I hate you." Is say no emotion I'm my face. My mother gasps anger filled in her eyes. I was about to say another comment but her hand slapping me across my face interrupted me causing my cheek to become rosey red. Tears began to fall as I touch my cheek that the slight burning feel is coming from. "Oh my- Jess.. I don't know what got over me! Jessica.. I-im so sorry" My mother says looking at her shaky hands is disbelief, tears streaming from her dark blue eyes. I grab my phone shoving it in the back of my denim shorts. I run down the stairs grabbing my keys. I walk out to my car on the drive way  grabbing my surf board that was leaning against my house putting it and my bag in the back. I slam my car door as i drown out the cries of my mother begging for me to stay. I chuckle slips from my plump lips. "you've really lost me this time." I say getting into my car and reversing out of the drive way, leaving my mother on the front porch crying holding herself to keep the bitter cold air hitting her skin. We have been here only 5 months and my mother has already has a man raped around her fingers. Me and my mother use to be close. I would tell her everything, but now. Now she has changed. My father was the best dad a girl could ask for. He was generous, kind and always had my best interest at heart. The tears kept coming blaring my vision. I quickly wipe the tears away to see where i was going. After a few minuets I'm at the beach. I stoped the car taking a deep shaky breath. I get out of the car and get my stuff from the back. I take the keys out of the car closing all the doors and locking it. I walk down to the beach with my bag and my surfboard. The harsh breez brushing my hair out of my freckle covered face causing me to scrunch up my face. I look at the water too see many surf able waves, all the anger and sadness washes away. The feeling of all the overwhelming weight being taken of my shoulders with every layer of clothing i take off. Soon I'm just in my bikini, sand in between my feet i take another deep breath and grab my surfboard and start running into the water. The water was cold as soon as it hit my skin goosebumps cover my arms making me shudder at the sudden feeling. 

*15 minutes later*

I'm riding a wave when suddenly i lose control and the wave overtakes me. I'm immediately engulfed by water, i cold my breath trying to swim up to the surface but the strong waves keep pulling my back under. My vision starts to blur from the lack of air in my lungs. With last of my energy I finally make is to the surface, i began desperately screaming "help! Someone fucking help me" i tun to see another wave coming straight at me more faster and stronger then the last ones. I was about to scream 'help' again but i was interrupted by the wave crashing down on me.  As my body was ready to give up I remember what my father told me. "Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it's going on when you don't have strength." I repeated this in my mind as i struggled trying to find my way back to the surface. After what felt like ages i was at the surface coughing up the salty water. I take in a deep breath trying to calm my nerves i try to scream agin but my throat is so dried up nothing came out. My body was so tired i started to see black spots. The last thing i remember is a voice. "Pope come help me quick!" Then everything went dark.
