Sacrifice For Love

Chapter 5

<Louis' POV>

Jess and I were driving to Great Bay Beach. I couldn't wait to go in the water!

When we reached the beach, I looked around. It's not empty and not crowded. It's in between. I quickly put on some sunblock and run towards the water. Jessica soon follows me. We jump into the water at the same time. Wow! It's cold.

After swimming in the water for about two hours, we feel hungry. Jessica suggested that I can dry up in the mean time she goes to get some food. I nod and she heads off.

After 15 minutes, I can hear a lot of screaming. At first I wonder what happened, but then, when I turn around, I see a bunch of girls heading towards me. Oh no! No no no no! Not now! Where do I run? Where's Jess? Now what I'm I gonna do?

I just keep standing there. Just standing and arguing with myself if I should run and get lost and lose Jess, or I can stay there and get mobbed by about 50 girls. I would rather get mobbed than lose Jessica.

I stay there just watching the girls running towards me. Them getting closer and closer by every second I stand there.

Then, I feel a pair of feminine hands grab my hands. "C'mon Louis! What are you doing, run!" That must be Jessica. She squeezes my hand and runs. I run with her. We both dive into her car and lock the doors. She starts the engine frantically and drives away as fast as she can.

After some time, we end up at a park. It's beautiful and so peaceful.

"Sorry about that," I apologize. "Anything for you," she says. Wait a minute, what did she just say? Anything for me? Not anything for a friend? And I thought I was stuck in the friend zone.

"So why are we here?" I ask. "So we can eat in peace." she says, holding up the food. "No one ever comes here and the governor says that since its a ghost town, we should get rid of it and build some houses. No one says yes to that but the other government members." she explains. "Well, I wouldn't say yes to that either," I remark and she giggles.

We start eating, and as usual, it was delicious. It was something like a picnic, just without the basket and rug to put in the grass. It was simple and cute. We ate and laughed and then looked at some clouds.

"Look! That one looks like a monkey!" I say, pointing at the monkey shaped cloud. "Yeah, it does look like one, she agrees.

We sit there until we decide that the girls must've been gone by now, so we can go back to the beach.

We both go in her car. We drive to the beach and and I decide I wanna play some music, so I turn on the radio.

Instead of radio playing, I hear our Up All Night album playing. I look over to Jessica and she looks like she wants to dig a hole and bury herself there.

Then after the last song from Up All Night, instead of replaying, it went to our Take Me Home album. She looked so embarrassed and I could see her cheeks burning bright red.

She steps on the gas to go faster. Her checks a cute rosy color.

"So, how long do you want to stay at the beach?" she asks, trying to talk over the music. I give her a break and turn off the music.

"Umm maybe an hour more?" I suggest and she nods. "An hour is good." she says.

We reach the beach and she quickly comes out of the car. I follow her and we end up at the jet skiing shop. She smiles at me and walks inside the shop.

I follow her inside and we go talk to the employee. "How much for half an hour?" she asks the man. "For how many people?" he asks back. "Two" she answers. 'Fifty dollars." he says, sticking his hand out for the money. "What, no discount for citizens? she pouts. "Okay, fine, forty dollars." he suggests and Jess nods.
