The beach fills with people, and even with the danger sign, the south end too.I hear the Radio go off, Harrison's voice fills it, "Bondi Central to South, there's a young man out the back he seems to be drifting, just keep an eye on him."
I've been looking at the same guy for a bit now, "Yeah I have my eye on him for a bit now" I tell him, not wanting to make any unnecessary trips if it's not needed. He's close to the sandbank so he might just find his way by himself.
He just seems to be drifting more out and he starts to swim against it, soon losing energy. He waves his hand.
"Glick your you're up." Reidy tells him
Glick steps out the buggy taking his shirt off as he does, revealing his robust body and toned muscles.
I look away as I keep my eyes on the now drugging swimmer just in case he goes under.
Glick makes he way to the young man, putting him on the board. He makes the perfect rescue as he rides a wave in.
"That was perfect." Reidy tells him, "Do more rescues like that and you'll be a full time lifeguard in no time."
"Yeah that was pretty damn good for your first." I tell him.
Glick smiles, "Thanks." He says to the both of us as he sits in the buggy his body dripping wet.
I lean against the top of the buggy from the back, scanning the water.
Not long passes before I see two swimmers in the same rip, you got to be kidding me.
Harrison's P.O.V
"Who does he think he is?" I pout looking at south as I watch them talk to each other.
"I'm sure they are just being friendly, he's new, he's making mates." Jesse reassures me but it's ruined within a flash, "I mean that bloke is a ripper. I mean look at this mate's body." I squint my eyes at him, he puts his hands out in defeat, "Aye mate I'm just saying what I'm seein."
Jake's just stays silent.
I huff, moving onto looking back at the water.
I hear a knock at the door and soon crying fills my ears, I wince at a bit at its high pitched sound. Blue bottle sting.
"I'll get it," Jesse says getting up to help the poor girl.
I look at Jake for a second and he's focused on the water, I'm not sure if I should say anything not wanting to start another fight.
Instead of speaking I just continue to look at the water.
The blue bottle sting reports come into the tower, everyone flocks like a bunch of seagulls, Jesse takes care of them telling them to just have a hot shower and it will take a bit to away.
Jake suddenly clears his throat. "I...." He starts but pauses. "Look mate I'm sorry." I look at him keeping a close eye on the water. He sighs, "For everything.. I was arse. I was being a cunt."
I look into his eyes, the light in his eyes, dims and becomes unfocused, his brow furrowed.
My heart aches, missing the friendship we had, "Don't worry about it mate." I give him a kind smile, "I appreciate the apology. Plus, I kinda miss us mucking around." I ruffle his hair like a big brother even though he's 6 years older than me.
He chuckles pushing me away, "Mate I'm 25, you're the one I should be ruffling."
We share a cackle, now settling our eyes back onto the water.
After few minutes pass I see two people in the same rip Glick just rescue a beach goer in.
I radio in.
Tessa P.O.V
I rip my shirt off, the two men struggling I jump off the back of the buggy and grab the board. "Glick you're with me!" I hear the radio go off behind me sounds like the same guys I'm looking at.
I run into the water keeping my knees high, I jump onto my board and paddle as fast as I can.
A surfer holds up one of the men, a little boy helps the man to hold onto his board.
"Thank you mate. I tell the boy as I grab the man, "Hold onto my board."
Soon a wave crashes on the two of the swimmers, the boy's surf board out of his grip. Soon the man grabs the boy pulling him under, "Oi! Let go of him!" I shout.
I see Glick come into the water, "You go to him!" I order the man who clings to my board.
I paddle quickly to the man who drags the boy under, he grabs my board and I grab the boy's suit and pull him out the water, feeling like a light weight. "You alright?" I ask
He coughs, "Yeah I'm alright."
I look at the man shooting daggers, "You don't pull people under like that, he was trying to save you. How will he save you if he's drowned?" I question.
He doesn't seem to know much English.
"You did great kid." I smile, he returns it.
I wait as Glick comes back and takes the boy.
"Get on the board." I gesture to the man how to lay, the language barrier not helping.
I feel a sudden sting in my leg I shriek in pain, "bloody hell." I look down to see a school of Blue Bottles under me. I take a deep breath having no choice but to paddle through it.
I bite my lip hard as I feel sharp burning pain all over my arms, tears prick my eyes as I try to stay strong.
I get the man off the board, not being able to ask if he swallowed any water or not.
I look down and blue bottle tentacles litter my body, I groan as I pick them off. I bite my lip harder tasting metallic.
Glick runs over to me.
