~Skip ahead 1 week~

Finally, summer vacation. I am officially a senior in high school. We are in Miami, and it's realllllly hot in the summer. I haven't gone to the beach in a while either.

"Hey babe? You wanna go to the beach today?" I asked Austin with my puppy dog face. "I've been waiting for you to ask that" "If you were waiting for me to ask that, then why didn't you just ask me?" I asked in confusion. He just shrugged his shoulders and went to his room to get ready. So did I.

I had just gotten a new bathing suit and I was dyeing to wear it. It was a red bikini with small black and white pokadots on it. I grabbed my flip- flops, beach bag, and put jeans shorts on over my bathing suit. Then made my way downstairs.

On my way out the guestroom door, Austin stood in front of me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss. I wouldn't let him kiss me. I playfully teased him and tried to get out of his grip. It was no use. I had no choice but to kiss him. 

We got in his car and drove to the beach. Once we reached the beach, we set out stuff down on the burning hot sand and put on our sunblock. Before I had a chance to take my shorts off, Austin picked me up off the ground and sprinted toward the water. "Austin Carter Mahone, don't you even think about it." I giggled trying to sound serious.

"Already thought about it, plug your nose." He said as I struggled to get out of his grip. There was no way I was going to stop him so I plugged my nose, and then he dunked my into the water.

As I fell in, I felt my arm smash into a rock. "Austin my arm!" I said trying to catch my breath. "Ha ha, very funny" "Austin I'm serious" I said trying to show him. He finally saw it and rushed me to the car.

We reached the car and got in. "Here let me see." he said as he gently reached for my arm. I felt blood falling down my arm. Austin saw it to so he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my arm. "Steph I'm sorry, this is my fault" "Don't be, it was just an accident." I said as I winced in pain.

He took me to the hospital and he practically threw me into the building. The nurses took me into a room and did stuff to my arm.

About an hour later, a nurse walked into the room. "Hi, I'm Dr. Mullins, and we have your x-rays back. I have bad news." she said. She seemed really nice. I've heard that last name before.

"The bad news is that you shattered the bones in your left arm from the elbow down, and you have to have stitches in your elbow." she said as she flipped through the papers on her clipboard. Austin sat in the chair, held my hand and kept shaking his leg. He was really nervous but I don't know why.

"Austin, why you so nervous?" I said as I drew circles on his hand with my thumb. "Because I don't like seeing you hurt." "I'm fine, I'm gonna be out of here in like, 2 hours." "I know but I feel like this is my fault that your hurt." he said looking hurt. "Hey, don't think about it as your fault. Think about it as having a little to much fun." I said trying to calm him.

The nurse began to wrap my arm in the cast. Then she put the stitches in. It hurt so fricken bad!

After that, Austin took me back to his house and we cuddled on the couch and watched another movie.
