Safe Haven

Chapter 9: Saturday Fun

A/N: Hey guys, long time no update. Sorry..... I literally have no excuses about why I haven't posted other than I was lazy. But I am updating it now. Its a filler chapter but it has suspense at the end. I posted saying that I was going to post this a few mornings ago but life got busy so I was going to do it last night. Then I decided a gravel road needed a hug and a high five so I ended up in the ER. I'm fine but I have a bruised bone in my elbow and my hand is cut up a bit but nothing broken other than my pride XD I swear I'm a klutz oops. Anyways, enjoy the chapter. Let me know how you're liking the story! -Storywriter19

"Are you serious? You want me to jump off this and into that?" I shouted. Clara had grabbed a couple of her swimsuits without me knowing and brought me to the cliffs. She forced me to change and now I was standing here in her suit looking down at her.

"Oh come on Bela!" It's a great adrenaline rush. You'll be ok." She called up. She had taken a running jump after changing.

"I just washed my hair!" I called trying to think of excuses.

"Too bad, now come on! Or I'm telling Chris one of your secrets." She smirked. She knew none of my secrets. I was sure of it! 

"Like what?" I asked sarcastically.

"You said his name like ten times last week in your sleep." She laughed. I blushed hard and covered my cheeks. I. Did. Not! "It's true Bela, if you don't believe me I'll show you the video!"

I gasped loudly and backed away from the edge. I tried remembering any dream from the week before but couldn't. But I had no doubt that Clara had a video. How had he not heard me if he was sleeping right next to me? Either he was a heavy sleeper or she was lying. Either way, I couldn't let her show Chris, that was too embarrassing. I took a couple of deep breaths and backed up a bit more. Here goes nothing.

I took off, letting out a scream as I flung myself off the edge. For a good second or two I felt like I was floating but then the icy cold ocean water wrapped around me. It took my breath away and I scrambled for the surface. When I broke through, I heard Clara cheering. She swam over to me and hugged me.

"That was fantastic!" She laughed.

"That was terrifying!" I coughed.

"But it was fun." She smiled.

"Hey Clara, hey Cabela!" I heard someone shout. I looked up to see Jaxon. He was in swim trunks.

"Jax! Don't..." But he had already leapt off and was soaring towards us. We swam away just in time to avoid Jax. He resurfaced a few seconds later laughing. We heard more laughter from above and saw Chris looking down at us.

"That had to be at least an 8.5 right there!" He shouted.

"Bro that was a perfect 10."Jax laughed. He swam towards me and we watched Chris make a perfect dive into the water.

"Show off." Clara grumbled. I wondered why Chris and her never liked each other. They always fought and they never got along together. I swam over to some rocks and pulled myself out of the water. The sun was warm and it had warmed the rock under me. I watched Jaxon splash Clara which started a war between them. Chris hadn't resurfaced. I was starting to get scared. That is until he sat down next to me.

"You alright?" He smiled, his blonde hair practically glowing in the sun.

"Yah, just resting. Water was a bit too cold for my liking." I said pulling my knees to my chest.
