Ada stepped closer. "I mean it, Marco. Why are you here?"
Marco looked at her, his eyes soft. He shot a glance at Jaxson but then locked his gaze back on Ada.
She shoved him but he didn't move. Her voice cracked. "Why?!"
She shoved him harder and he took a step back. "Why are you here?!"
She pushed him hard. He didn't resist and he stumbled back.
"Answer me!" She roared in his face.
Jaxson shifted forward. "Ada."
She ignored him.
Marco didn't take his eyes of Ada.
She pounded her fists onto Marco's chest. He let her, watching, as rage consumed her face.
"Why?! Why!?" She cried.
She heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Heath sprinting towards her, Bianca in tow. Heath stared in shock but then his face turned fierce.
"Ad." Heath said firmly. He reached forward and pulled her away.
She panted and tried to claw her way out of his grasp.
Heath moved her up the beach a few paces.
Bianca looked on, a horrified look on her face.
Heath put his hands either side of Ada's face, forcing her to look at him. He lowered his voice but it was still firm. "You should go back inside. You can't do this right now."
Ada looked at him, finding comfort in his stare.
"Eh?" He said.
She focused on him and took a deep breath, relaxing slightly. She put her hands on his wrists and nodded.
Heath slowly took his hands away. He turned around and glared at Marco, his jaw clenched. "You can't be here."
Marco looked to Heath. His expression softened.
Heath dismissed him, with a nod of the head.
Marco looked at the ground. He turned silently and walked down the beach.
When he was out of sight, Ada let out a sigh. She wiped her face and turned towards Jaxson. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright." Jaxson replied. "Do you wanna get a drink?"
"Yeah."
They turned and shuffled towards the surf club.
Bianca moved to stand by Heath. "Are you okay?" She asked.
Heath nodded. He put his arm around her. "Yeah, let's go inside."
Brax lifted his arm from around Ricky and stepped towards the door. He pulled it open.
Marco stood in front of him. He lifted his head slowly. "Brax."
Brax shifted on the spot, staring at him. He hung his head. "What are you doing back?"
"I needed to see Ada."
Brax scoffed. "She's not here... and, listen, you can't see her right now. This is a big night for her, I won't let you ruin it.
Marco hung his head.
Brax closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "You already went there, didn't you?"
Marco didn't respond.
"Mate!" Brax yelled. His hand slammed against the door frame. "What the hell did you say to her?"
Ricky rushed to Brax's side. She placed a hand on his arm. "Hey." She said, urging him to calm down.
