Ross's POV
Riker walked through the curtain to find me sitting on the counter. I was prepared for a lecture but their were already tears streaming down my face. I hurt someone I loved. But instead of saying anything, Riker walked up and hugged me. After a few seconds he said "it's all gonna be okay man. No matter what happens I'm here for you and so is the rest if the family and Ellington." I sniffed and said "I know, I know. I'm. Being stupid." Well you know what "crazy, stupid love. Wherever you go. If you love this girl, you are gonna do a lot more crazy and stupid things for her." I stood up, "I know. Will you come back to her with me?" He nodded. We walked back but she was asleep with tear stains in her cheeks. I said "Riker, she is perfect. I've never loved a girl this much." He said "that's great man! Can't wait until she's better and we can hang out With her!" The bus came to a stop. "We must be here!" Said Riker. And sure enough I looked out the window and saw that we were next to a small house. I shook jacqueline awake gently. And then picked her up to carry her outside."ross, you can put me down. I feel a lot better. It only hurts when something hits it." I put her down reluctantly and we walked down the sidewalk.
Jacqueline's POV
I let Ross carry me to the sidewalk. I loved being in his arms. But now I had to show them my house...which was more like a shack. "Okay, guys...Um it's not much but it's all I've got. I understand if you would rather stay at a hotel-" ross cut me off "jacqueline, it's awesome. Look the beach is right there and-" I cut him off this time "wait you guys like surfing right?" Ratliff said "well they do..." Riker said "hell yea!" And rocky just jumped up and down. "Follow me" I told them. I led them to my surf shack. "This is where my dad works." They were all amazed. "This is like the coolest place on earth!" Ross said. "Look at all these sick surf boards!" Said rocky. "I'm glad you like it!" I sighed, relieved. "Let's go unpack the bus and then we can head out. I'll show you the best places to go!" We ran back to the bus and in an hour we all had on bathing suits and were back at the shack. "Take whichever board you want!" I said "but the neon yellow one is mine!" I laughed as ross reached his hand towards my board. Once everyone had a board I led them down the beach. The whole time we talked and laughed as if we had known each other forever. "Okay, now we are past all the places where most people surf, which means we are almost there." Soon enough u dove into the water with the rest following me. We paddled out and began to surf. "This is awesome! Shouted Riker. "Ellington, you're terrible! It's not that hard!" Yelled rocky and Rydel giggled. Then I saw a familiar silhouette on the shore. "Hi Lindsay!" I shouted. And she waved back before diving in and paddling out. "This is my best friend Lindsay, everyone. I hope you don't mind me inviting her." I said as she came into sight. Rocky, who had just caught a wave, wiped out she he saw her. "Nice one!" Shouted ross who was laughing hysterically. Rocky emerged from the water but instead of covering up his fall he swam up to Lindsay and said "how's it going? Rocky." Lindsay laughed and said "I'm good...or better than you at least judging by that last fall!" And she paddled away with rocky chasing her.
