Bub & Panda

part 1

  Mckenzie POV

I sit here watching the sun as it starts to appear above the horizon with my feet just buried beneath the golden sand wondering as to what went wrong. Yesterday we sat in this exact spot, watching the same sun disappear behind the same waves. The only difference being Noah wasn't with me this time.

It was around 5pm when he said we should go back. I sat in his lap in silence hoping he understood that not a single cell in my body wanted to move but he clearly didn't as only a couple seconds later Noah got up pushing me off him walking off without even waiting. A little annoyed I got up brushing the sand off me as I ran to catch up with him, as I reached to grab his hand he quickly moved it into his pocket. My mouth opened to mention it but not a sound came out, we walked the rest of way home in silence as the trees rustled around us. It took me 10 minutes to convince Noah to play me something on the guitar, he grudgingly agreed after I wouldn't shut up. He called me an annoying cow at the time I thought he was joking but now not so much. My mum made us go to bed at 10 each night so dad could check that we didn't sneak into each other's room when he went to bed at 11. The funniest thing was that they thought that could stop us. Every night at 11:30 on the dot Noah would come climb into my bed wrapping his arms around me as I snuggled my head into him, listening to the sound of his heart beating as we drifted off to sleep. Last night he didn't come in, he didn't stop me shivering as the temperature dropped, he didn't even say goodnight. I texted him at 12:27

'bub are you still coming in, did you fall asleep?

within 10 seconds he read it. no reply. no noise from his room. nothing. I spend 4 hours which to me seemed like 10 years with my eyes stapled opened staring at the gloomy ceiling. I had been down here for an hour now, the sun was just starting to come out from hiding beneath the ocean when I hear someone trudging through the sand. I turn my head towards the sound.

Noah POV

I stand there staring into her eyes they looked hurt I knew why, I'd messed up how was I ever gonna explain this to her, I loved her and I'd treated her horribly. I walk down and sit beside Mckenzie she looks at me but doesn't say anything. I break the silence

'Mckenzie I'm so sorry I shouldn't have done what I did, I love you please can I explain what happened.' She sighs looks at me with what seemed like almost tears in her eyes.

'Go ahead...' She says in almost a whisper. I begin my story.

'Ok, Mckenzie so yesterday while we were sitting here I got a text message. It was from mum..... Nelson died yesterday morning.' I begin to sob I try so hard not to but I couldn't help it, straight away Mckenzie jumps on me her arms wrap around me pulling me in. That hug was easily the best thing anyone could've done for me it felt so safe so warm the only place in the world I wanted to be, I never wanted to leave this spot and for a long time we didn't we stayed there for almost three hours as it begin to get dark I looked down to see Mckenzie's head buried in my chest so without moving her I stand up and begin to carry her along the beach as she is latched on like a monkey, I finally put her down as we begin the hike back towards her house. That night as always I snuck into her room as I walked in I don't see Mckenzie curled up in bed as usual but a bunched doona and a note, on the note it wrote

'I love you bub' as I read this I hear I quick laugh then feel someone jumping onto my back, it was Mckenzie she lets out a little squeal as I swing her over my shoulder onto the bed then I climb in with her, for a long time we lay there cuddling then Mckenzie looked up at me and similar to how she did on the beach not too many nights before she kisses me, it was perfect I was so glad happy I hadn't ruined things for us I thought to myself I don't know what I'd do without this girl.

soooooo I'm back but anyway this a book that is co-authored by my best friend. We've already written a few parts so I'll hopefully be updating frequently. I recently moved too which is fucking scary as but I survived my first 2 weeks of school luckily. I'll try and update my other books soon :))))
