I woke up the next day before Michael did, I got out of bed and started to fix breakfast. I fixed bacon and eggs, toast and pancakes, almost everything you can think of. I got out orange juice and milk. Michael woke up and walked off to me. "What is all this for?" He asked smiling. "You and the girls." I said.
" Oh you didn't have to do that I could've grabbed something on my way home. "
"No I really don't mind. " I said flipping a pancake. I woke up the girls and got everything set on the table, as my mom did for my family when I was younger. One of my favorite memories of when I was little was when my mom would wake me and my siblings up and we would eat breakfast. "What is he doing here?" Savannah asked. "He stand the night."
"What?" She said practically yelling. "Yeah didn't you see him last night." I ask.
"I did but I thought you dumped him and met someone new." Savannah said.
"Why would you think that?"I asked walking over to Michael and sitting down.
"I don't know I mean he cheated." She said.
"Okay Savannah stop." I said taking Michael's hand in mine. Michael looked at my cut up arms, I took his chin in my hand and made him look me in the eyes mouthing the words 'I'm okay'. I smiled then started to eat. We finished eating and Michael and I decided we were going to the beach. I invited the girls and he invited his friends. Michael said he was going back to his cabin to changed, I told he goodbye then went to change. We met up at the beach with all our stuff in hand. I wasn't fearing for a repeat of last time, it was actually fun, even if I had acted like I was mad. I saw Michael standing with his friend and a couple girls. I froze again, I'm not dramatic but I mean I guess I just think of the worst thing that could happen in a situation. The girls just kept walking ,because they didn't notice me, so I had to snap out of it and keep walking. We walked up to them and started talking. Michael came up to me and kissed me. I looked over at the girls that had been there before we got there, they had that 'ew' look on their face, I laughed and kissed Michael again. "Did the boy say anything about you being gone last night?" I asked.
"Nah other then' hey dude where were you?' " He said. "Okay." I said. After a while I got bored I went home. I changed into my 'pink Floyd' t-shirt and a pair of shorts and grabbed my guitar. I was home alone so I was quit loud, I scream the lyrics of 'Jet black heart' by 5 seconds of summer, as I strummed my black acoustic guitar. I strummed holding my 5 seconds of summer signed by Michael Clifford himself pick, because I had been to one or two (actually like sixteen) of their shows. I laughed as I realized I was dating a boy named Michael as Michael was my favorite in the band.
"CAUSE I'VE GOT A JET BLACK HEART AND THERE'S A HURRICANE UNDERNEATH IT." I yelled as the door opened as I jumped out of my skin only to find Michael standing there smiling and laughing. "Wait you play?" He asked stepping in and closing the door. "Yeah about four years now. " I said standing up and putting it down. "No you don't have to stop. Can I hear you play?" He asked. "I mean I suck but sure. " I said picking it up again and sitting down. I played him jet black heart given it was the one I had been working on. He smiled after I got done playing. "What?" I asked. "You're good you should come by my cabin sometime I play drums." He said. "Really?" I asked probably sounds a little too excited. "Yeah for about five years." He said. "Oh so you should be good?" I asked sarcastically. "Yeah I'm actually pretty freaking good." He said. "Oh someone's prideful. " I said playfully pushing him. I got up and put my guitar down and walked into to the kitchen. He followed closely behind. He turned me around and kissed me. "What was the for?" I asked looking into his eyes and smiling. "Just cause. " He said smiling down at me.
"Hey I have to get going but I will see you later." He said kissing me then leaving.
twenty minutes later...
Phone rang.. I picked it up it was savannah. "GET DOWN HERE QUICK IT'S RILEY." she said sounded as though she was in tears I took my phone and ran to the beach. I found a ambulance and police men , everything. I ran down there screaming, pray whatever it was she was okay, sadly in my head I knew it wasn't nor would it be. I ran down there only to be told I couldn't see her or go towards the 'accident'. "Please that's my best friend." I said trying to get through but to no avail. They got her into the ambulance and drove her to the hospital. I got in my car and drove there only to sit I the waiting room for hours. Till it finally happened, the sadness of someone telling you your best friend of fifteen years, is died. "I'm so sorry." The doctor said as he walked away. "Can I see her?" I asked. "Yes, of course." They said, they then lead me to her room as I saw her there, still covered in blood, I fell to my knees. The doctors felt me alone. "I know you're still in there, I'm sorry I couldn't save you in time." I said. She had been in the water, her surfboard hit her head causing her to go under the water where a shark had found her. You can figure the rest out. After a couple hours we went home. I fell asleep soon after, I dreamt of her she was alive. She was telling me something. "I'm alive." was what I remember when I woke up. And I knew it wasn't a dream. She was alive. The question was, how will I find her? I got up and walked to the beach. sitting in the sand at three a.m. I thought of what could've happened, that's when I felt it a hand on my shoulder. I turned around only to find riley standing there. she sat down next to me, and started talking. "But I saw you, you were dead." I uttered.
"It's the start of something Taylor, I'm not the only one who's like this." She said.
"What do you mean?" I asked. "Just come find us." She said then she was gone. "wait us?" I said to no one given she was now gone. That's it she loved tricking me, getting into my head, she wasn't dead she had faked her death. Maybe not faked maybe she had died but she was alive now. Everyone thought she was gone, in reality she was the most alive she had ever been. I was going to find her the question was how?
