Jess can not believe she's met the love of her life. He walked into her life and she thought it was perfect, but who is this stranger that he won't talk about? Should she be worried? Is he hiding something? She tries to forget about it because her e...
The sun shone through my bedroom window as I slowly opened my eyes. 'What's going on?' I thought to myself.
'Hey, over here!' shouted Chlo as me and Jude were getting ready for the second part of the summer regatta race. I looked over and I saw our number, 4, in third place. Yet who was in fourth place, Johnny and his group. Me and Jude ran up to Chlo and got ready for our second race.
'Ladies and gentlemen, the second summer regatta race will start in 10 minutes' said the beach manager. I saw this figure come towards me and I knew exactly who it was. I didn't pay any attention to anyone at this point. 'Hey, could I talk to you?' said someone I didn't want to talk to. I looked up and saw this dashing figure ... with a secret. 'Sure but I've got to go soon' I said. 'Okay well, I know you've been upset about who she is but I don't really think it's important you know?' he said as I stood there in shock. 'What? You mean you put me through all that and your still not telling me yourself?' I said as I exploded my feelings out to him. 'You already know?' he asked. 'What does it matter? She doesn't matter you said!' I said, playing his little game as I started to walk off. 'Wait no, you can't leave. What about what we have?' he asked as he gently took my hands. I didn't know what to do. It was so nice to hold him again but I didn't know what to do. 'Look, until you tell me what's going on, I can't see you' I said as I ran off. I felt tears falling down my face as I made my way to the isolated cliffs.
'Ladies and gentlemen, the second race of the summer regatta will start ... NOW!' shouted the beach manager. I saw a sea of colourful dots slowly come towards me as I watched down from the cliff tops like a bird. Chlo and Jude were in the lead which made me feel better.
I could see the waves crashing against the rocks below me just like my emotions, crashing up against my heart. 'What do I do? I love him but we can't keep secrets from each other. It's like living a lie' I thought to myself as I felt the summer breeze hit my face. A single tear left my eye, I couldn't keep my emotions in any longer. My eyes went blurred as my tears took over.
'HELP! HELP US! HE'S IN DANGER!' shouted someone from one of the boats. I lifted my head up and saw something happened to one of the contestants. I heard the beach manager blow his whistle several times. 'EVERYONE GET OUT THE WATER!' said the beach manager as everyone got out like a flock of birds. I stood up quickly to see what was going on. I saw someone had crashed into the rocks as ambulances came to help them. At last, everyone was out of the water and I could see clearer as to what was going on. I could hear sirens all around me. I looked at the person closely ... 'Oh no' I said. 'This can't be happening, no, someone help' I said as I started to run back down to the beach. 'HE NEEDS HELP! NO! LET ME SEE HIM! NO ... HE NEE ... I'M NOT A STRA ... NO' I shouted as paramedics stopped me from seeing him. I saw someone being taken to an ambulance on a stretcher, it was him. We made eye contact and at that moment, my heart sank ... it was Johnny. 'NO! BABY, COME BACK! NO YOU CANT GO! I continued to shout trying to get to him.
As I continued to get closer and closer to Johnny I could feel myself getting further and further away. The paramedics slowly put the stretcher down as they got ready to go to the hospital. I quickly ran towards him and kneeled down next to him. 'What were you doing?' I asked as I grabbed his hands. 'One of the ropes got tangled and I crashed into the rockery. Where were you? I was looking for you? he said barely able to open his left eye. 'I was watching from the cliffs, I couldn't bare to go into the race incase I ruined it for Chlo and Jude' I said hoping he wouldn't ask about us. 'Excuse me, we need to get him to hospital now' a team paramedics said to me as they lifted him off the ground. I looked back at Johnny and our eyes met, it felt like the first time we ever met. It was mysterious, not knowing what will happen.

'Here, take this and follow the directions. I was hesitating to tell you who she was but ... but I don't want to loose you again' he said as he reached inside his pocket and handed me a folded piece of paper. 'Now go! I'll be fine, I want you to know I won't keep anything from you again!' he continued to say. He got further and further away from me until I couldn't see him anymore. He was taken away from me as the sirens started to get quieter. 'Please come back to me ... please' I thought to myself.
'Jess! Over here! Where were you?' shouted Jude as they both ran towards me. 'Hey, how did you do?' I asked trying to change the subject. 'Well, we moved up to second place! But something happened in the water, we aren't sure what though. We thought ...' she said. 'You thought I'd see what happened, well I did. It was Johnny and now he's hurt and I don't know what to do and ... and he ... he gave me this ... and' I said as my words ran out my mouth getting faster and faster. 'Okay slow down, Johnny's hurt? Well didn't u speak to him?' asked Chlo. 'Yes, he said he's fine but he got into an ambulance. He gave me this note' I said as I held up the piece of paper. 'What does it say? asked Jude reaching out to grab it. I pulled my hand away quickly. 'I don't know, he said to follow the directions on it. Maybe it's something to do with this mystery girl? I don't know what to do' I said. 'Just do it in your own time, Johnny has trusted you to find out for yourself. We will be here if u need us' said Chlo reassuring me there is still hope. 'Thank you' I said trying to crack a smile. 'Oh shoot! I've got to go, I'm late for work. Bye guys' said Jude as she ran off. 'I better go too, good luck' Chlo said as she hugged me. I felt alone again, but I knew I wasn't.
That evening, I sat on the rocks looking out to sea. The memories of that day came crashing to mind like the waves on the rockery. 'What do I do? Do I open this piece of paper or not? I hope he's okay. I don't know what to think' I thought to myself. As I was walking along the sea front, I saw a young couple arguing. She was walking away crying, he was following her trying to get her back. My thoughts of me and Johnny were happening, right in front of me. She was shouting trying to solve the situation. He was apologising trying to solve the situation. They looked like they were getting nowhere. I suddenly thought to myself ... 'What if that's what me and Johnny will be like? What if this breaks us up? I don't want to be unhappy' I said as I continued walking. I put my hand in my pocket and felt the piece of paper Johnny had written. 'I don't want us to be like that couple ... maybe I should ...' I thought to myself. I decided it was time to put this mystery to rest. I reached inside my pocket and took out the piece of paper. On it read:
'Your answer is here - 12 Willow Cross Hall Ask for Dr. Drake Smith. Tell him Johnny sent you. He will lead you to the answer. P.S. I love you x'
I slowly lowered the piece of paper. My heart was beating so fast. I'll have to find out what's going on ... if I want to save our relationship and more importantly ... Johnny.
