Tahlia's p.o.v

Its now 8:45pm and we have already left and on our way to California.

"Can we stop and get food"? Austin whines.

" We literally just started driving" I chuckle as he groans.

" I'm going to sleep, wake me when we get to a gas station" He yawns as I nod turning on the radio.

3 hours later

I look over at Austin to see him sound asleep. He actually looks so cute right now. I chuckle to myself as I pull into a gas station that has a food court attached to it.

(Btw in the book Austin is played by cameron Boyce and goshhh he's hot)

" Austin" I whisper as he flutters his eyes open.

" Are we there"? He asks rubbing his eyes.

" No, we're going to get food" I laugh as he grins putting on his nike slides and getting out of the car as I follow him inside.

After we eat and take a toilet brake we get back into the car.

" 45 minutes left" I gently smile as he grins looking out the window as we begin to drive.

45 minutes later

It's 6 in the morning and we pull into the driveway.

" RILEY" Austin calls out as we both get out of the car and run up to the door as Natalia answers. She wraps me in her arms as we hug for about 2 minutes.

" Austin"! She grins as she gives him a quick hug.

" I'm so loved" He sarcastically smiles.

" Austini"! Riley laughs as him and Austin bro hug.

" Come in"! They both laugh as we bring our bags in and all sit on the couches.

" So are yous two dating yet"?! Riley snickers.

" god no" Austin inhales
" heck no" I shake my head.

" Okay... well what do you want to do today"? Natalia smiles at me as Riley puts a hand on her thigh and she starts to blush.

" I'm a bit tired, so we should do something chilled"? I smile as Austin nods running a hand through his hair.

" Beach"? Natalia smiles as Austin's eyes widen.

"YES"! He yelps as he runs out and grabs his surf board.

" Okay, I'll get mine too"! Riley jumps up running to get his surfboard.

" Let's go get changed" Natalia smiles as I nod and we walk into her room and get changed into our bikini's.

" So you're telling me, that in 3 years, a gorgeous girl like you hasn't got a boyfriend"! She asks as I chuckle.

" I haven't had time for one, I've been working and besides.. Austin keeps me company" I shrug as Natalia laughs.

" So you and Austin have never done anything"? She asks.

" Oh god no, we're just really close friends...consider us brother and sister" I laugh as she laughs.

We grab a towel and once we're changed we walk out to the boys, locking the door behind us.

" Damnnnn" Riley smirks at Natalia as she hardcore blushes and he wraps an arm around her waste as they walk behind Austin and I.

" Don't you miss it"? Austin looks at his board and around the street.

" I do miss home... just not half of the people" I shrug.

" You still haven't gotten over Hoey, have you"!!? Austin cracks up laughing as I hit him in the stomach.

" I have"! I growl.

" I have"! He mocks me before running into the waves with his bored being followed by Riley.

" Gosh, Austin hasn't changed one bit aye"? She laughs as we sit down on our towels.

" He really hasn't.. he's still the same 2 year old I knew" I laugh as she chuckles.

" I'm going in"! I smile as I stand up.

" i'll stay here and get a tan"! Natalia grins as I nod smiling and running into the water. I run up behind Austin and jump on his ba-

" Shit"! I squeal looking at the stunned boy in front of me.

" I-I thought you were my friend...sorry" I awkwardly smile at this boy.

" No uh.. it's okay. Do I know you"? He asks looking into my eyes.

"TAHLIA"! Austin laughs signalling me to swim over.

" Wait, Tahlia moa-" I cut him off.

" Sorry gotta go"! I laugh before swimming off to Austin and Riley.

" Who was that"? Austin laughs.

" I uh... I'm not sure" I laugh.

" You totally thought he was hot" Austin laughs splashing me.

" No I didn't"! I splash him back.

" okay then" He shrugs as he gives me a mischievous smirk.

" Hey, You! Yeah you, come over here"! Austin calls out to the boy who begins to swim over here.

" What the fuck are you doing"! I freak as Riley and him just laugh.

" Hi"! The boy smiles as he looks at me again, In a weird way like he knows me or something.

" Can she get your number"? Austin asks the boy as he laughs nodding and writing it on my arm... okay why tf did u have a pen with you?

" Can I get your name"? He smiles at me.

" It's Tahlia" Austin speaks before I can.

" Last name"? The boy asks.

" Sorry, that classified information"! Austin pretends to be smart as the boy laughs and swims off.

" You're such a dick Austin"! I splash him and hold him under water as he wrestles me into a wave.

After about 15 minutes I decide to get out and tan.

" Was it nice"? Natalia smiles as I nod smiling and lying down next to her.

" I've missed you" I smile at her as she smiles.

" Move back here Tahls"! She whines.

" I wish" I sigh.

"TAHLIA"! Someone shouts as I turn my head and see-
