BROKEN

CH. 16-the beach

*KARA'S POV*

It's been about a week since everything unfolded.

There was always this day in the middle of the year when the students got the whole day off to basically meet up with friends and do nothing. Being that the school was in Florida, most students took a trip down to the beach. I usually stayed cooped up in my room, but I knew when Amity, Ace, Cora and Cam showed up at my door at six in the morning there was no way I was getting out of this, but that didn't stop me from trying.

"No." I groaned shutting the door.

"Come on, Kara. Let's go catch some rays," Amity called on the other side of the door.

"I thought that vampires couldn't be in the sun or they'd shrivel up and die or something like that.

"False. Purebloods are affected a little bit but all of us are either human, semi or uh, Ace." Seven said.

"Thanks, man." Ace muttered.

I laughed to myself.

"Answer is still no."

"Someone has to convince her. Who's the one up for the job?" Cam asked.

"It's got to be one of you two," Danalrie said and if she was pointing at Ace and Amity, she would be right.

Amity walked through my door that I stupidly forgot to lock and sat down on the floor in front of me.

"PLEASE!!" She yelled and I burst into fits of laughter.

"Come on, I'll do anything."

"Anything?" I said with a smirk.

Needless to say we were in the parking lot twenty minutes later packing up to head to the beach.

"I can't believe you're making me do that."

"It won't be a big deal."

"I don't want to do it though, and now I have, in the near future, a date with a guy I hardly know."

"Come on, chill out," I said as she rolled her eyes and turned back to face the front of the car. "I never specified who it had to be. He could be one of your closest friends."

The car ride was going rather uncomfortable even with Cora's off-brand mystery machine.

"I think we're all set," Seven called from the back before we all started to pile in the car.

Cora sat up front with all the beach supplies in the passenger, Danalrie and Cam were in the front two seats, Amity sat in the middle by herself and Ace and Seven got into an argument over who would sit by me so we ended up in the back behind Amity where the only three person seat was and I was squished in the middle.

Seven wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest and mouthed "mine," in Ace's direction resulting in a glare, but no verbal response.

"Looks like we have one extra seat then," Amity said before Fin bailed into the van without warning and sat beside Amity shooting a smile at her.

I felt Seven's arms tighten around me and Ace slowly move his arm around my waist.

"Out." Amity growled.

"No." Fin shot back.

All of us glared at Fin expecting him to explain himself. The sight of him made me sick to my stomach.
