Remember Me | D.S

-one-

Saturday June 10th

The feeling of the sand under my feet, the sound of the waves hitting the rocks. There's nothing better then that to me. I crouch down and grab a fist of sand, letting it slowly fall out in between my fingers.

What's left after the sand is gone is two small shells. I trace the pattern with my finger nail and then place them back into the sand where they belong. The waves touch my feet. I look at the the wet sand slowly turning dry again, right before another wave hits making it wet again. I slowly get up and look around.

The beach is completely empty. But still, who is at the beach at 8:35 AM on a Saturday. Only me. I continue walking in the sand, looking at the waves and the small shells laying everywhere. Feeling the ocean breeze blow through my messy wet surfing hair.

"Presley!" I hear someone yell. I slowly turn around and look for any movement. A little figure is jumping around waving its arms over by the parking lot. I think I know who it is. I run back to my surfing board and pick it up, staring to head towards the figure. As I reach the parking lot I see Aria, my best friend, standing by her big Jeep looking down into her phone.

"Earth to Aria?" I say as I place my surfing board in the back of her car. She doesn't hear me, I walk up to her and wave a bit of my salty ocean hair in her face making her squirm.
"You know I hate that smell!" She yells and pinch her nose. I shake my head and open her car door, she looks at me and I look down at myself. I'm still in only my bikini.

Quickly I close the door and run back down to the beach where I forgot my bag. I say goodbye to the beach one more time before running back up to Aria while throwing on a beach dress. I throw my bag back in the trunk next to my surfing board and get into the car. Aria looks at me and as I fasten my seat belt, she turns on the engine and starts driving.

"Keri invited us over for brunch." Aria Says while driving. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.
"What do you mean? Tyler's mom?" I ask her looking out of the window. She looks at me quickly and smiles. She chuckles a little and I look at her.
"He is my boyfriend you know." Aria adds and I smirk a little. She punch my arm, not in that funny friend way. Like really hard.
"What was that for!" I ask her gasping. She looks at me irritated.

"I'm 19! Isn't it ok for me to date someone who's 4 years older then me!?" She asks me smiling. She can't be mad at me, I can't be mad a her either.
"Of course it is! I just didn't think you were official yet!" I answer and look back out of the window.

I put my hand out of the window feeling the air blow against my finger tips. I love being outside, since I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota I haven't really had these kind of summers. Only when I visited my family in Australia during the summers. We spent most of the time on the beach surfing or going on hikes. That's when my love for nature grew bigger.

Aria turns on the music and I pull my hand inside of the car again and look at her. She's smiling at me and starts singing the lyrics to some boy bands songs. I don't know the lyrics so I just lean back and listen to her sing while looking out the window, seeing how the beach disappears and turns into small beach houses.

She turns the music down a little and I look at her again. She points at my feet and I see a little bag laying on the bottom of my seat. I pick it up and see some of my clothes and belongings in it.
"So... we're going to Keri now-" she starts but I cut her off.
"Wait now? But I got to change and shower?" I ask her. She looks at me with a little grin. Right, I cut her off... I'll let her finish.
"So you can use the shower at their house. And... we're staying there for 3 days!" She adds and smiles at me brightly. She knows I can't say no to that smile. I try to look mad but I can't hold my smile in any longer.
"Ok..." I say and sigh. She laughs and turns the music up again, continuing singing. What did I get myself into, now I'll see her and Tyler making out all the time. What will I get out from this?

I can hang out with Anna, we need to catch up on Grey's Anatomy too. We started watching that show together last summer when I visited them in Portland, that was when I met Aria too. We didn't get to finish the show tho, now we can!

The car ride home to the Seavey's feels like it lasts forever. Aria driving while singing her butt off. Me in the passenger seat, looking at LA as we drive around Beverly Hills. We reach their house and I step out of the car. Wow it's pretty. I pick up the bag from the trunk and the bag Aria brought me and head over to the drive way.

"Hey Daniel is home too just so you know!" Aria Says right before we're about to knock.
"Wait Idol Daniel?" I ask her. She nods and laugh, I shrug and knock.
"I thought he died or something." I say right before the door opens making Aria laugh really loudly. Tyler is standing in the door looking at Aria laughing, I'm just standing next to her curling my lips, taking in the awkward vibe. I look at Tyler and he hugs me.

Aria stops laughing and wipes her forehead. She walks up to Tyler and kiss him. Their kiss lasts forever, or that's what it feels like. They finally break it and Tyler lets us inside. Keri comes up and hugs Aria. She wearing really nice clothes so I stop her from hugging me, since I'm covered in salt and sand.
"Let me shower first, then we can hug!" I say smiling. She smiles back at me and nods.
"It's so nice having you here! Tyler can you show Presley to the showers please?" Keri answers and Tyler nods.

I follow him upstairs and into their bathroom. Wow even their bathroom is huge! I put the bags down on the floor and lock the door. Time to get clean!
