Hello, a quick author's note to ask whether you think I should try a chapter from a different point of view, Like Jack or Sam. Thank you.

Everyone was begging to get out of the car. It was so hot and it made me nervous that I could be sweating all over Finn. Rolling down the windows and the air conditioning had helped push hot humid air around the car for half an hour. Jack parked the car in a lonely deserted car park covered in sand that had little dry grasses climbing out of the cracks in the concrete. Everyone at once tried to climb out of the car, which became very violent, very quickly. Finn raced me down to the beach, my short legs moving twice as fast to match his long athletic stride. He got down their first, throwing his T-shirt off as he ran into the water. Everyone else quickly followed him. I watched as Zoe let Caspar take off her clothes for her, which triggered violent hacking from the group. I waited behind for Sam and Jack to carry down all the towels and lunch.

"Hey Sam" I called over to him, and grabbed some of the towels that he was carrying to lessen his ginormous load.

"Yeah baby?" He questioned, smiling sweetly.

" The thing, we did this morning can that stay between us?" I asked, not trying to make a big deal out of my embarrassment. My embarrassment that for some reason arose when I thought about Jack or Finn knowing about the kiss.

"Sure baby" He nodded and kissed me gently on the cheek. And then dropped the towels down on the sand and bolted toward the water, tackling Finn.

The water was beautiful and it took a whole hour before I had to pull myself back onto the beach. I was exhausted, so many swimming races, so many hand stands, so many holding- breath competitions.

I folded out a towel and lay on my stomach with my eyes closed, feeling the sun warm my back. After a few minutes I started feeling cold drops of water on my back.

" Yes?" I asked.

It was Finn's wet towel that he was ringing on to my warm back. He laughed at my discomfort.

"STOOPPPPPP!?" I moaned and grabbed at his ankles, making him fall. I laughed and he pretended to sulk.

" Do you wanna build a sand castle?" I asked in a childish, innocent voice.

"Yes!" He exclaimed and we got making, while the rest of the group were still coming to shore.

Jack was coming up out of the water as I was standing over me and Finn's beautiful sandcastle threatening to squish it. Jack tapped me on the back and I was a little stunned by his serious face. It looked all wrong; his normal smile was drawn out in to a thin line and his eyebrows were slightly drawn in giving him a small frown. I stepped back into the sandcastle by accident and Finn's yelped in the sharp pain of his hard work dying before him. I was a little too mesmerised in Jack's facial's to react.

"Let's go for a walk" Jack said sounding oddly neutral on his exciting proposition.

"Yeah great." I tried to sound enthusiastic but the way he was acting made me feel slightly nervous. And I was right to feel a little nervous. We were about five minutes into our walk a long the beach and I was already regretting it. The sand was lovely between my feet and feeling the sun all over me felt great, but it was awkward. Jack hadn't attempted once to make conversation. And every time I tried he would shut me down: either ignoring me or short one word answers.

"Sam told me what you guys did" he didn't make eye contact he looked out to the sea or ahead of us. I was opening my mouth to speak when he started talking again. He seemed to be angered by my lack of an instant response.

He let out a short, aggressive, sarcastic scoff.

"You aren't even going to deny it?" He made eye contact with me, hate piercing through my eyes and into my soul. No thoughts came to me, I was so shocked by Jack's anger. So I defended myself, pathetically.

" You aren't allowed to be mad at me Jack!"

His eyebrows raised and he looked at me like I was shit and he was gold. He was so much better than me in every single way imaginable. And I was nothing.

" I'm not mad Liv" he said as if I wasn't worth his anger, and how stupid I was to think that.

"I just don't think fucking every guy you fucking lay your fucking beautiful fingers on is a good idea!" He exclaimed at me and stopped walking.

" Fuck you!" I through his venomous hate back at him, tears were rolling down my face but I aggressively wiped them away and started running back to the group.

"Liv!" He yelled at me. But I was long gone.
