Just Like In The Book // Bondi Beach Chase Hardaker Fanfiction

☆Chapter 12☆

I walk down the beach looking for one specific person. Moana. She hates me, I know that. But I still wanted to apologize. I see her surfing. She looks so... natural. Like she's meant to be there. I walk to the tower. "Hey, I thought you wouldn't come anymore." Yethro says. "Haha very funny." "Geez dude. Somethings up. What is it?" Harrison asks. "Bet it has something to do with Moana." Jesse shouts front he other side. Without any warning tears well up. "I'm just gonna head to the water." I say. And without waiting for an answer I walk out of the tower.
I find a buggy with a board, with the keys in and nobody using it. I start the buggy, and I'm about to leave when Hoppo stops me. "Chase, what's up with you today?" "Nothing I'm fine." I say annoyed. Why can't anybody leave me alone today? "You're not, Hardaker. I can tell. Is it something with Moana?" "Kind of, but it's fine." Hoppo sighs. "If you say so. Well, I'm always here if you need advice or just someone to talk to." I smile at him as a thank you and drive off. 

I'm standing in my position for a couple of minutes when all of a sudden, I heard a massive thud. I look up and hear people screaming. I take my board and rush to the water, where 2 surfers have collided. I peddle as hard as I can, and I see 2 boards. One broken in half and the other still intact. I look around even better, and I see that one surfer is okay. Still Jules picks him up though because you never know. As im looking for the second surfer, a little girl comes crying to me as she points to something that's floating.
Without saying a word I rush over to the body. I put it on my board, and my heart stops.

It's Moana...
Blood gushing out of her mouth...
Eyes wide open...
Not breathing...
No pulse...

Without realizing it, I let out a bone chilling scream.

The love of my life...
Lifeless...
Blood gushing out of her mouth...
Eyes wide open...
Not breathing...
No pulse...

I quickly signal that she's unresponsive and rush back to shore. Jules comes running up to me. "Chase are you oka-" She stops mid sentence and screams even louder than I did. Before I can pull her back, Jules is on her knees next to the lifeless body, of her once best friend. "NOOOOO!" Every lifeguard on the beach comes running in our direction. Once they see the scene they all become very quiet. "WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE AND DO NOTHING! HELP HER!" I scream. Hoppo slowly pulls Jules away from the body. I slowly walk towards her, hoping that it was an illusion. It isn't. 

I stroke her, once always warm, cheek. Clean the blood off her chin with my shirt, and kiss, the once always smiling, lips. I forcefully but carefully shut her eyes, and burst into tears. Maxi, Harrison, Yethro and Jesse just stand there tears silently  streaming down their faces, while Jules is hugging me, and crying even harder than me. 

The paramedics arrive, and almost immediately tell us that she was dead the moment the other board crushed her. Apparently the other surfer had accidentally taken a wave that was too big for him, and with board and all he landed on  top of Moana.
They put a cloth over her body, and put her in the ambo. 

We close the beach and all sit down in the tower. "I can't believe it." Hoppo says sobbing. "She was like a daughter to me." "She was my best friend." Jules says still crying. "Ours as well." Jesse, Yethro and Harrison say at the same time. Normally we would laugh about it, but it was completely quiet.  

"I... I mean we had something for you Hoppo. It was actually meant as a Christmas present, but we forgot." I say as I give him the foto album. We all look through it, and luckily, we laugh a bit at silly pictures and texts underneath them.

"Chase?" Jesse asks carefully after we've finished looking through all the photos. "Yeah?" "Were you and Moana close? I mean you didn't really look like it, but you seemed so off this morning." I sigh. "Yes. We were actually dating for a bit. Until yesterday. I accidentally said something wrong and I couldn't fix it. She was mad and stormed of. I wanted to apologize today..." Everyone went quiet. "Oh." Is all Harrison said. "I think she deserves the best funeral someone could ever imagine." Jules states, and everyone agrees.
The funeral planning went smoothly and we quickly set a date. This Saturday. But I had other plans in mind.

Just as we wrap up for the day, Jesse walks towards me, says nothing and just hugs me. "I'm sorry mate. I had no idea about you 2." I hug him back, and tel him it's okay.

[It's Friday]
Friday. 4am. I was supposed to meet with Moana here, under the cliff where I took her after we ran off from the karaoke bar. The sun was about to start rising and I take something out of my pocket. 

The pieces of paper were spread out nicely over my table, I gave Max (and Daisy who I got custody of when Moana died) to a friend who promised to take good care of them and cleaned my apartment.
I open the box of pills. One by one, I take them. And very slowly I start to feel dizzy. I sit down and look at the stars. I see the brightest one and remember what Moana told me. "I tried looking at the north star because I'm lost, but now I know that you're my way back." Are the last words that leave my mouth before everything went black.

I wake up feeling perfectly fine. Did the pills not work? I see someone looking around very confused, as if they're feeling the same as me. This person looks familiar, and when we make eye contact, I know for sure. "Moana!" I yell as I run towards her. She turns around, smiles and runs towards me as well.
"I am so sorry about everything I did to you." She just lays a finger on my lips and kisses me. And then we kissed. And it was our happily ever after.
