Solitude // Dylan O'brien

Chapter 7

     Today was our last day in San Diego so we decided to go to the beach. All of us packed swimsuits except for me because nobody told me we were going swimming so I had to borrow one of Mia's swimsuits, which was a light pink two-piece

"I look... Like a loser."

"You look fine, Erin." Responded Mia with a small smile. She was wearing a maroon bikini that matched her hair which was in a high bun, a towel wrapped loosely around her waist and sunglasses resting on her head.

Dylan and Aubrey walked into the RV and I could tell he was getting flustered by all the bikinis. "Aww Dylan why's your face all red?" I cooed.

"Me? My face? My face is only red because it's so hot here." He said in a matter of fact voice and I laughed at him.

"Hey," Aubrey came into view. "I'm ready, you wanna go now?" She smiled.

I slightly cringed.

"Yeah. Bye, Erin, Mia." He waved and she grabbed his arm.

"Yeah..." I sighed and Mia looked at me quizzically. Riley came out wearing some big sunglasses and a floppy hat to block the sun. A crochet dress was covering up her black bikini. Typical Riley, you could say. The boys were wearing their swim shorts. Tyler was wearing a white muscle shirt, while Posey wore a black muscle shirt. We all walked to the beach and bought some Ice-Cream on our way there.

It was all fun and games, until Tyler grabbed me and threw me in the ocean. I was in the middle of finishing my Ice cream too. I cried, and I cried so hard, while I was beating Tyler up for it. "Tyler you piece of shit! Buy me another ice cream!" I punched him on the shoulder multiple times. Tyler just laughed which pissed me off even more.

He grabbed both of my arms, "Erin chill out I'll buy you another one." he said trying to contain himself. He let go of me and I nudged him while I walked towards Mia and Posey. We all chilled for a while, and the guys said they were gonna go get some drinks. Me and the girls decided to go in the water. By girls, I mean Mia and I because Riley said that the water looked disgusting.

Me and Mia were in the middle of looking for Sea-Shells, when a ball nearly hit us. We both screamed, I fell in the water and Mia dropped the Shells. "Sweet mother of Jesus holy fuck on a stick!" Mia touched her chest. "I thought I was going to die."

I shook my head and spit out some water. "Eww." I said pushing hair out of my face.

"Oh my bad, ladies," Our heads snapped to the voice. "My friend pointed to you guys and I missed the ball because of your... dazzling beauty." He smirked.

I stiffened, and Mia stood up. "Well, I'm sorry to hear about that." She grabbed the ball and threw it to the other guys, which I guess were his friends. "But it looks like you missed the ball again." She smiled. He looked at Mia really angrily.

"Now, go away." I said.

"Josh, come on man." One of his friends I'm guessing, came. "Leave them alone." Josh, I guess, rolled his eyes.

"They should learn how to have fun. One for you, and one for me." He smiled and grabbed my wrist. "What the hell, let me go." I yanked my arm back, but he just gripped it tighter. Gross.

"Dude come on." His friend said. "Let's go."

"Hey, what's going on?" Tyler and Posey came, with Riley behind them. Posey wrapped his arm around Mia, and Tyler pushed Josh's hand off my wrist.

"Dont fucking touch my sister."

The guy let go of me and lifted his hands in surrender. "Alright, Alright." He just left and his friend stood there looking tired of his bullshit. He turned to us and smiled apologetically.
