We all just finished up a video for Ethan's channel.
It was the whisper challenge. It was fun, but I didn't really care. The depression had kicked in. I was wondering when it would. It hadn't show up in a while.
I slumped down in a chair outside. My hand was holding onto my head. The sun was facing me so I closed my eyes and took in its heat.
"Avery?" I heard and I opened my eyes.
Mark stood in front of me.
"Are you okay?" He asked me. He looked concerned.
"Yup!" I said like nothing was wrong. I don't like people knowing how I'm actually feeling. If they know I'm sad they might be sad and I don't want that.
He sat down beside me on the pavement.
"I know that something is wrong...you can talk to me." He said with a caring smile.
"I'm fine really. Could we do something where we aren't inside. I want to go out and explore!" I said standing. It would help me get my mind off of everything.
"Okay we could go to the beach if you wan-" he started but I cut him OF by running towards the screen door.
"I'LL GO GET CHANGED!" I yelled at him and ran up stairs.
I had just finished my period so I was so excited to go see sand.
I went to the guest room and locked the door. I took out my black bathing suit again

I looked in the mirror and saw this person. I was happy with her. She was who she wanted to be.
I put a white tank top and my black high wasted shorts on top of my bathing suit.
I packed some towels and sun screen.
I bent over towards my bag and put everything in it that I needed.
"You ready-oh okay that's a butt." Ethan laughed and walked towards me. I got up and playfully slapped his chest.
I grabbed my bag and pulled the strap over my shoulder.
"Okai leggo!" He said and jumped out of the room.
We went down stairs and I exited the house. I unlocked my truck and got in. I put my turned the truck on and turned up the music.
Everyone got inside including Amy, Marks girlfriend.
Ethan sat in the passengers seat. I sighed and drove off.

"HURRY UP SLOW POKE!" Ethan yelled at me as I laid my towel on the warm sand.
I folded them and felt cold and wet arms rap around my body.
"ETHAN!" I squirmed. "YOU'RE FREEZING! NONONONONO NOT THE WATER." I screamed trying to get out of his grip. He ran into the water with me still in his arms.
I he put me down and laughed at my sad face.
"I still have my tank top and shorts on." I frowned at to my now wet clothes.
I ran out of the water and towards our towels. I took off my tank top and shorts off and put them in a plastic bag.
"Are you gonna join me or not?" Ethan looked at me with puppy dog eyes.
I walked towards the water. I stood where the water was at my knees. The waves rocked me back and forth.
He walked towards me with with a sad look. He put his hands on my waist and I looked up at him.
"Are you alright?" He said while looking into my eyes.
"I just want to enjoy the time I have left with you." I said and he hugged me. I leaned my head on his chest.
His grip tightened and I felt my body being lifted.
I was flipped over his shoulder. Ethan went further into the water. I squirmed and begged him to let me down while he laughed.
We stayed in the water until Mark and Amy walked over.
"CHICKEN FIGHT!" Mark yelled and I got on Ethan's back and Amy got onto Marks.
After a struggle I pushed Amy off of Mark.
We all were having a great time and I jumped off of Ethan's back.
Pain. I felt something sharp enter my foot.
I scream and they all turn towards me.
I look up with tears in my eyes.
With no words Ethan sweeper me out of the water and lauded me on my towel.
He looked at my foot with a disgusted look.
I laughed, but I soon winced pain.
He rapped my foot in his towel and Ethan picked me up.
"I'm so sorry." I say looking down.
He looks at me and smiles. He kissed my fore head and went into the back seat of my truck. I stayed in his lap while Mark drove and Amy was in the passengers seat.
I looked towards my foot and saw that the bottom of the towel was all red.
I scrunched my eyes and Ethan rubbed my back.
He wrapped me in a towel and hugged me to his chest.
-
Mark pulled into the hospital parking lot.
Ethan carried me to the emergency waiting room.
We told the nurse what happened and she gave me a number.
We elevated my foot and rapped another towel on top of the first one.
And now we wait.
