We talk for a while then agree that we need to make our last day alive extra special. We pack up our things and go to the beach; she hasn't gone since before she started self harming. When we get there Nicole refuses to take the robe she brought off.
"C'mon, Nicole," I plea "Take off the robe, I swear no one will look at you." She makes an uncomfortable face then finally, hesitantly, takes off the robe. She has many, many cuts and scars all over her. She almost puts the robe back on, but I grab it just in time.
"Damn." She curses under her breath.
"Now, let's-a go." I say in a high tone, scooping her up and running to the water with her in my arms. I throw her deeper into the water and she screams. Thats when I realize how cold the water really is.
"Shit!" I exclaim running back to the sand. She gets up to land, shivering and cursing.
"That was so cold! Dan, I'm gonna kill you!" She screams running after me, I take off, dodging various sandcastles and people laying around. She finally catches up to me and I run into the freezing water.
"Cold, cold, cold." I gasp as it washes up to my knees. I run back up to her "I'm so sorry." I say hugging her, she wraps her arms around me squeezing tightly, and buries her face in my chest.
"Its okay." She giggles, lightening her grip on me. We release each other and entwine our fingers together. We walk over to some rocks and she begins to climb onto them.
"What are you doing?" I ask her.
"Oh come on." She pulls at my hand. I follow her up onto the slimy rocks, we climb all the way to the top and sit down together. She rests her head on my shoulder and we sit there, enjoying the moment. There's people talking, distant music, children's laughs and playful screams can be heard, and less than 30 feet away is the deep blue ocean.
"Look Dan!" I hear her gasp in excitement, I look at her and she pointing to a few little crabs walking along the rocks.
"Want to go join your friends, I'll stay here." I tease. She sticks her tongue out at me and laughs. We climb down the rocks and back down to the sand.
"Its pretty hot out, you wanna try to get used to the water?" She asks, her hand still in mine.
"Erm, sure, why not?" She takes off running, and she dives into the deeper water. I hear her scream as she resurfaces, the water only coming up to her mid thigh (she's a very short girl). I run in after her, but I don't dive in. We splash around in the water until we get all wrinkled from the water.
"Where to next?" She asks drying herself off after rinsing in the beach shower.
"You'll see." I say leaving her in suspense while she dresses

We arrive at the arcade, and I give her a bag filled with twenty dollars in quarters. "Here." I tell her as she grasps the bag firmly. Her eyes widen and she makes a runs straight to pacman. A little cliché, but its been her favorite since she was small. After a few games, and successfully beating the game she goes to Soul Calabar.
"Come play this with me so I can whip your ass." She motions me toward her.
"Are you challenging me?" I scoff.
"Hell yeah, I am." She smiles a wide toothy smile at me.
"Huh, you're on!" I exclaim, accepting her challenge. We select our characters and begin our battle, she wins the first two battles easily.
