nine

I woke up in bed the next morning feeling very weak and ill. I looked at my phone and saw that Bradley sent me a text and so did Connor.

We're out at a signing. Be back soon -B xx

We watched the security tapes...Don't check social media today. Just stay in bed, watch some telly, and relax - Con

I shivered at the thought of yesterday. My memory started flashing but I tried to ignore it. I went downstairs for some breakfast. I grabbed an apple and then sat down on the couch. I turned on some American Netflix. There's a lot more selection. I started the new season of Orange Is the New Black. My phone went off and I checked the Caller ID. It was Uncle Josh.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, how are you feeling? Yesterday you seemed panicked and really stressed out."

"Uh, yeah. There was just a lot on my mind. Some things happened with my boyfriend and I..." My voice trailed off.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah I'm good. I just feel a bit ill today."

"Autumn you know that I will be here for you. I know I haven't been the most involved family member in your life but I really hope that you're not still holding a grudge. I miss hanging out with you. You were always a ray of sunshine and the more I see you the less sunshine I see."

"Life is tough. You just got to push through it. Even if you lose a bit of yourself on the way." I hung up after that and sighed. I felt nauseous and I had a terrible headache. I took a few aspirin that were set out for me on the table. I'm pretty sure they locked up all of the other pill bottles. I made myself a cup of tea and winded down on the couch. A few episodes in I heard a honk outside the door. I went to go see what was going on and I see them all outside in beachwear.

"What are you guys doing" I chuckled.

"We're going to the beach!" James said.

"Are you up for it?" Rebecca yelled from the car.

"Sure. Let me get changed first." (Above :P) I got changed and walked outside. The aspirin made me feel a lot better. I went outside to see Bradley missing from the group. "Where's Bradley?"

"He said he went inside to grab something." I saw Rebecca trying to hold in her laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Rawr!" Bradley said literally sweeping me off my feet. I may have screamed a little bit...

"There you are." I smiled.

"How was your day?" He asked. He was still holding me.

"It mostly consisted of sleeping." I said. He put me down and we all got in the car.

"You didn't do anything stupid?" He whispered.

"No. I was stable." I whispered back.

"Good." He said putting his arm around me. When we got to the beach there was almost no one there and I didn't understand why. You don't get many sunny days here and when you do you need to take advantage of them. We set up our stuff and Connor immediately grabbed Becca and pulled her into the water. They were so cute.

"Hey come check out what James did." Tris said pulling me from my thoughts. He rolled a huge slip-and-slide down a really steep hill. Him and Bradley started filling it up with ocean water. I took a picture with my phone and put it on twitter

@AutumnFierxx hanging w/ the squad :P they're complete idiots @thevampsbrad @thevampstristan @thevampsjames

I started walking up the hill along with Tris and about halfway through, he just gave up and fell face forward into the sand. I had to turn him over drag him the rest of the way up the hill. It was extremely steep so I fell a few times and each time I did, Tris had to help me up. We finally made it to the top and Bradley and James were almost done filling it up.

"Who's going first?" Tris asked.

"How about Autumn?" James looked at me cheekily.

"No thanks, I'd rather not die today." I said looking down the steep hill. There was a whole forest behind us and there was a little bonfire area. "We should come up here for s'mores later." I suggested.

"Aw. Is Autumn chicken?" He taunted.

"James you are a cheeky little bastard." I glared at him and prepared to die.

"Do I have to do this?"

"Yes!" Tris said pushing me down the hill. I screamed at the top of my lungs and accidentally took out Connor and Rebecca on my way down. Lucky for her, Rebecca managed to land on her knees.

"Sorry Connor." I was laughing so hard because we bot had sand stuck all over our faces. One after another, everyone started sliding down while I went to go wash the sand of my face. I don't know how Connor didn't mind it. I washed the sand off my face and I saw Rebecca grab a raft that they packed earlier. Her and Connor went on the raft and I hid in the water nearby. I heard them talking and when things started getting heated I swam under and tipped them over. I quickly swam away and ended up bumping into Bradley.

"Nice job tipping them over." He chuckled.

"Cuteness is the enemy." I chuckled looking at them. Connor was pushing the hair out of Rebecca's eyes. "Ugh I'm gonna barf." I joked.

"You never act like this when we act adorable." He smiled.

"Yeah cause we're not them. It's just so different. I mean you and I are from two different worlds. But them...they're so alike. Both with so much kindness and hope for the world." I said turning to look at them. "They're just so perfect."

"Two different worlds?"

"Yeah I guess. I mean you're a star and I'm just...
