My South African Dream Man

Chapter 29: Beach bonfire and hospitals

Alicia's POV

I quickly showered and changed into a pair of black high waisted shorts with a red long sleeved crop top. I let my hair fall naturally into its curls down my back while I put in my vans and picked up my cream coloured cardigan. I ran downstairs and straight towards the guest bedroom. I jumped on Johnny's bed and cuddled inti his side. "Hi baby." He said putting his phone down. "Hi." I said snuggling closer. "We gona have to go soon." Johnny said kissing the top of my head. "How about we just stay here in bed." I said not wanting to get up. "Come on babe get up we going." He said pulling me up. "Found them!" Katie yelled bumoing into us in the hallway. We followed her hand in hand till we got to all our friends. "Ready to go?" Jake asked putting an arm around his sister. "Ummm Jake get your fat ugly sweaty arm off of me." Charlie said. Before walking towards the road. We walked in silence until we reached the sand. "Come on they about to start the singing." Charlie yelled running towards the bonfire. We walked towards the bonfire and sat one on of the blankets on the sand. I looked around to see the usual crowd sitting our the fire. We have all been coming here since we were like 10 so we kinda knew each other. Trent grabbed his guitar and started playing the instrumental part to photograph and then Charlie started to sing. Katie joined in with the first chorus then I started singing along to. I looked around at the group of people who were swaying back and forth whike we sang. As the song ended Johnny looked at me in shock. "You can sing?" He asked. "Ummm kinda..." I mumbled. "Well your voice sounds beautiful baby." He said kissing my cheek. We started chatting between ourselves for a while until Jake stood up. "Okay guys its nearly time... Alicia get Johnny in on it this time. The rest of you, you know the drill." Jake said as he helped Charlie up and walked with his sister towards the water. Anastasia grabbed Katie and Luke's hands and pulled them towards the water. I turned to Johnny to see him as confused as ever. "Okay you gona have to sing now. We gona sing Warrior..." I said standing up. "Wait my song?" He asked quickly. I nodded and walked towards the group of people. Trent started playing the chords on the guitar while Johnny, Katie, Charlie, Jake and I stood in a semi circle waiting for the timing to be right. We sang our hearts out and when Johnny sang the last word firewords shot into the sky. I grabbed Johnnys hand as I watched the fireworks then turned to Johnny and watched him watch the fireworks. "Come on lets go in!" Katie yelled running into the water. I quickly pulled off my clothes revealing my black bikini then ran into the water splashing Anastasia and Luke while Johnny helphelped me. We were all laughing and having fun until a ear screeching scream caught our attention. "KATIE!!!!" Courtney yelled looking around her. "SHARK HELP!" She yelled this time and all the guys went rushing to help them. "KATIE!!!!!!" I yelled running towards the deeper water. I didnt get very far because someone held me back, I turned around to see Charlie and Anastasia holding me back while Johnny grabbed a surf board and headed in towards Katie. "KATIE!!!!!" I yelled again while I was being dragged out of the water. I saw Luke, Johnny , Trent and Jake carrying a surf board out of the water and placed it down on the sand. I couldnt look what if.... no Alicia shes okay. "Alicia....Luke...." I hward Katie's faint voice. "We right here baby sis" Luke reassured her. "Alicia..." she said quietly. I slowly turned around and took in the scene in front of me, Katie had a bite mark on her side and that was about it but she was loosing alot of blood. "Im right here Kates..." I said bending down and taking hwr hand. "It hurts Lili..." she said crying. "Don't talk okay?" I said holding onto her hand even more. By the time I looked up again the paramedics where there and took Katie to the ambulance. "Katie!" I yelled as the ambulance drove away. I turned around to see Johnny holding me back. "Come on baby let's go yo the hospital." He said walking towards the road. Why on earth is he so calm!

Johnny's POV

I watched as Alicia sat against the hospital wall with her head on her arms. I had to stay calm for Alicia's sake but truely I've been freaking out since I heard the scream. I slowly slid down the wall sitting next to Alicia and put my arm around her. "Johnny..." Alicia's sleepy voice said as she lifted her into my shoulder with her eyes still shut. "I'm looking for my daughter Katherine Emily Smith?!" I heard Mr Smith say. Within seconds Alicia's parents came running towards us. "MOM!!" Luke yelled jumping up and ran into his mom's arms. Alicia's head shot up and she jumped into her dad's arms, I sat back and watched as they all cried into each day there arms. "Johnny honey come here I know you not okay." Alicia's mom opened her eyes for me to hug her which I obviously did. "Family of Miss Katherine Smith?" A doctor said walking into the waiting room. Mr and Mrs Smith stood up and walked towards the doctor leaving Alicia, Luke and I alone. We watched as they spoke Alicia hanging in my arm. We watched as Alicia's parents came towards us. "She's okay, she lost a lot of blood though. They going to medevac her back home if she's not ready for release by the time we have leave." Mr Smith said. We followed them towards Katie's room. "Mommy!!" Katie yelled as we all walked in. Mrs Smith ran to Katie and gave her a big hug. Everyone copied this gesture then we all sat down around her bed.

"So Katies you gona have an epic scar" Luke said throwing a marshmallow into Katie's mouth. "Yea its a great pick up like 'hey you hot I got bitten by a shark let me buy you a drink.'" Katie laughed looking down at her bandaged side. "Well at least it was a bite and release and not your whole arm or something." Luke said with a giggle. "Oh that's an even better pick up line 'hey my arm got bitten off by a shark let me buy you a drink' " Katie laughed. Alicia head rested on my shoulder while she watched her two siblings joke around. "Juan you know she's asleep right?" Katie said looking at Alicia. "Oh yea she's been sleeping for the past 20 minutes" I said laughing. "Aaaaa Miss Smith I see you have visitors." A nurse said walking in. "Yea Nancy these are my sibling Luke and the sleepy girl is my sister Alicia. That handsome idiot that Alicia is sleeping on his her boyfriend Johnny." She told Nancy as she allowed Nancy to check her machines. "I'm sorry but Johnny you look incredibly familiar." Nancy said looking at me. "I do?" I asked confused. "Oh my...I know who you are you that Johnny Apple guy that my daughter goes gaga over." She said looking at me properly. "Oh yea that's me" I said with a giggle. "Can I get a photo for her?" Nancy asked. "Sure!" I said picking Alicia up and putting her on the couch before standing for a photo with Nancy. I quickly signed a piece of paper for her daughter Courtneigh. "Well that was creepy" Luke said laughing at what just happened. "Not as creepy as the one time when this girl waited outside the guys bathroom for me" I said laughing as a sat on the floor next to Alicia who was asleep on the couch. "You kidding right?" Katie said with a little laugh. "Nope I'm sure her name was Taia something... She even ordered the same pizza as me" I said laughing at the memory. "Okay your fans are devoted." Luke stated before popping a grape into his mouth. "That I do" I said with a little laugh turning toward Alicia who was still asleep. "Juan if you stare at me for another second I will rip your head off and shove it up your ass." Alicia said with her eyes still closed,guess I was wrong about the sleeping thing. "How did you know I was watching you?" I asked dumbfounded. "I can feel you watching me." She said with her eyes still closed. "Hey kids." Doctor Scott said walking in. "Hi Doc!" We all said in unison. "How are you feeling Katherine?" Doctor Scott said checking her pulse. "I'm feeling better every minute!" Katie exclaimed. "Well you might be released tomorrow." Doctor Scott. "Really!?" Alicia asked jumping up. "Yes Miss Smith. Now you three Katie her needs her rest so how about you head home its a wonderfully sunny day, go to the beach or something." Doctor Scott said smiling at us. We all got up and waved to Katie before leaving. "How does a shower and a trip around Margate sound?" Luke asked. "Let's do this!" Alicia yelled running towards the car.

I just finished getting changed when Alicia came into my room falling onto my bed. "Well hello to you to." I said as I sat next to her. "Hi..."she said smiling. She looked so beautiful in her shorts and long sleved knitted sweater. "You staring again." She said looking at her phone. "No I wasn't..." I said trying to sound innocent. "Yes you were." She said.
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"Ummm if you two are done fighting about this lunch is ready." Luke said popping his head through the doorway. "No!" I yelled running towards the kitchen. VICTORY IS MINE!!! Johnny- 1 / Alicia- 21.. Slowly getting there....
