Forever Young

18. Scott & Malibu Barbie

Chapter 18

~Brooklyn's P.O.V.~

Today was Monday, July 1st. Lily was released from the hospital yesterday. It was a bit of a relief. She was fine they just wanted to be for sure and made her stay an extra night. Today, McKinlee, Lily and I we were all hanging out at the beach house. I looked down at my phone and saw I had a text from my new friend, Danielle.

Hey wanna hang out today?

Sure! You can come over to my beach house and meet some of my friends.

Ok, give me the address and I'll be right over.

I gave her the address and looked over at the clock. 11:45 a.m.

"I invited a friend over. I met her at the party. She's pretty cool." I stated.

"Ok!" Lily smiled.

"Sounds good." McKinlee added not even looking up from her phone.

Within about 15 minutes, Danielle was knocking on our door.

"I'll get it!" I said, jumping up and rushing to the door.

"Hey!" Danielle beamed, hugging me. I hugged her back and invited her in.

"Danielle this is Lily and McKinlee. McKinlee, Lily this is Danielle." I smiled as they all waved at each other.

"So Lily, McKinlee, do you guys want to head to the mall?" I asked.

"Sure!" They both exclaimed, grabbing their bags.

I grabbed my bag and we all headed out the car.

"To my car!" I cried and we all piled in.

The large mall was across town and I really wanted to go there. We were riding around town when we passed a skater park. Ugh... My photography instincts were starting to rise and I just couldn't pass this opportunity up. I haven't posted pictures on the website in days... I pulled into the skater park and parked my car.

"What are we doing?" McKinlee asked.

"This isn't the mall!" Lily exclaimed.

"A skater park?" Danielle asked confused.

"Would you all chill." I laughed. "Do you see that guy over there? He's really good. And I need new shots for my blog. I'll only be a minute! Promise!" I explained and rushed into the park.

I walked over to a small picnic bench and sat down. I still didn't have a clear shot. Moving closer I began to get clearer shots. They were coming out great! The light of the sun and the waves splashing behind the skater and the ramp made the shots look awesome! Continuing to snap away, I suddenly saw that the boy had noticed me. Oh shit.

Nonchalantly moving over to another thing or person to concentrate on; I noticed that the skater guy had disappeared.

I was just about to snap a shot when someone coughed behind me.

I turned to see the skater dude I had just taken pictures of.

"Hello." He smiled.

"Hi." I smiled back.

"So I saw you taking pictures of me." He stated.

"Yeah, it's what I do. I mean I'm a photographer." I replied.

"That's awesome! I would love to have someone professionally take shots of me and my friends. Could you?!" He excitedly asked.

"Of course! I would have to look over my schedule. But here's my card. It has my number, address of my studio and my web page. You should check it out!" I smiled.

"Thank you! I will definitely check you out." He smirked with a wink.

"Well, I really must be going. I'm Brooke." I grinned, extending out my hand.

"I'm Scott." He beamed, shaking my hand. I turned to walk away when he winked and did the same.

I hopped back in the car and the girls had a million questions.

"Just a client. Ew, gross! I have a boyfriend!" Were just a few of my answers.

I quickly pulled out of the parking lot and headed back down the highway for the mall.

~McKinlee's P.O.V.~

When we got to the mall we decided to hit Forever 21 first. Danielle grabbed a few floral tops while I walked over to the swim suits. Lily and Brooke were over looking at the jewlry and sunglasses.

I was just about to grab a pair of blue jean shorts to try on when someone bumped into me. I stumbled a little bit, but still managed to stay standing.

I turned to see who had practically trampled me and I saw Miss Barbie from the studio. My rival enemy.

"It's you." She glared at me.

"How lovely to see you." I glared back as she reached for the same pair of shorts that I was going to try on.

"Hey! Give them here!" She said trying to jerk them free.

"Nice try, but I definitely saw these first. So beat it!" I scowled. She scoffed and yanked another time.

"GIVE THEM HERE!" She practically yelled.

"Fine. You know what... Take them. I mean they'd look better on you." I smiled handing them to her.

"What's the catch." She smirked.

"Well, I already stole your job the least I could do is let you have a pair of shorts." I sneered. She scoffed and stalked away with the shorts.

Danielle, Brooke and Lily all came over to where I was.

"What was that about?" Danielle asked.

"Oh, nothing. We aren't the best of friends, though." I giggled and Brooke and Lily both snickered. They knew all about my complicated bond with Malibu Barbie.

"Hello?" Brooke said picking up her phone. "What? Oh... Um... Ok." She said handing Lily her phone.

"It's Will, he wants to talk to you. Apparently you never pick your phone up." Brooke laughed. But her expression then turned serious when she saw Lily's face go from smiling to frantic.

"Hello?" Lily answered.

"Oh my gosh." She said staring into space.

"I'll be right there!" She exclaimed and hung up.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"It's Ty... He's been arrested."
