Friday

The weekend was almost here. I haven't talked to zach all week but I have been watching him. That girl I saw him with try's to fallow him. But there's a sign of him ignoring her. Like he didn't like her. He didn't want her around.

Classes with zach I barley spoke. We barley spoke. Kylie has been noticing me just zone out. It's been me thinking about him. I never thought about anyone or anything. Except for him.

I haven't been surfing either. I have had my head in the clouds. Today I was going to try and get back to it after school. I didn't want Kylie to see me fail and she knew I wanted to keep to myself today.

By the end of the school day after checking my locker Kylie was just dropping me off. I got in her car and just thought about him. He never left my mind. Even after he made my heart sink. "Ash?" Kylie asked. I turned towards her and nodded.

"What is up with you I can never talk to you anymore your always day dreaming and you can tell me" Kylie said. I shrugged and looked out the window. "Why won't you tell me" she said. "Kylie I think I like zach" I said. "I know and?" She asked. "He's just always on my mind ever since I hung out with him last week I can't forget about him" I sighed. "He played you, you saw him with that other girl I don't want you to get hurt" she said. I nodded and thought about why did I even like him. Maybe Kylie was right. But there was something about him he was hiding. All of them. Jonah, jack, Zach corbyn and even Daniel who always looked upset was hiding something.

As I got out of her car I looked over towards Zach's. He wasn't home. I wasn't looking to speak to him but I wanted to see him. I waved by to Kylie and went Inside. I grabbed a snack and went upstairs to change. I ran into my room and checked out of the window. Zach's car still wasn't there. He must have gone somewhere after school. Wasn't home.

I slipped on a triangle bikini and tied my hair up into a pony tail. I ran downstairs and grabbed my surfboard it's been a week since I surfed and that's the longest I have gone without surfing. I had my mind on something else even my mom saw it. She was never even home and she noticed it.

I ran outside and down the stairs to the beach. It looked almost different to me. It had been so long for me. I stuck my board in the sand and took my hair down and just let it flow. I took one last look at Zach's house behind. Still no car. No zach. My heart still felt empty. I had never been so focused on someone. Why him. He treated me like crap. He acted like he had no clue who I was. Yet he was still the one. He made me feel like he was the only one. The only one I can love.

I grabbed my board and ran into the ocean. I jumped on it and started to paddle out. For a second I started to feel light headed. I hoped on top of my board and looked back. I had to keep going. It was him holding me back. If I were to forget about it, this wouldn't happen. Just forget.

I laid back down and kept swimming out. I waited for the perfect wave for a few. I had a headache but I had to just forget. But i couldn't. He was glued to my thoughts. I finally found a wave to try and catch and I did. I stood up quickly and felt super unbalanced. I stood for a few seconds and within the wave very shortly. Before everything went black.

Zach pov
I had been thinking about her all week. On my mind. Not leaving my thoughts. Since that night it's like she's been stuck in my mind. I had never seen so much good someone before. I had to go find her.

On Monday jack tried to get me with some girl he thought was hot. He claimed it would get her off my mind. He was one of the only people I told about her. I had no clue who she was. He made her make out with me. I felt nothing. But I felt something with Ashlyn. I had to find out what exactly it was. After breaking up whatever she tried to do I ran off. Ash just flashed in my mind wherever. She would never feel the same way. But I had to try.

Today I had to go look for her after school. I guess I had luck on Friday afternoons?

When I got home I knew she was either in her room about to go to the beach or already at the beach. Either way I slipped on swim Trunks. I kept my tee on and ran and looked for her. I went down the stairs to the beach. About 5 steps from the beach I saw her. She was about to stand on her board. She was very good. But something seemed off with her. She didn't seem ok. She got on her board and continued to wobble when on. Eventually she tipped over into the water and I didn't see her come up.

I ran down the stairs as quickly as i could. I took off my shirt and ran into the water. Luckily she was still attached to the surfboard with the wrist piece so I found her. She had been knocked out some how. I put her on her board and swam to the shore. I took her on the sand and slid her off the board. Her heart was beating and she wasn't breathing. I knew how to rescue breathe and tried that until I saw signs of breathing. She gained consciousness and she started coughing. She blinked her eyes as I started into them. They were the most pretty ocean blue. With green on the outer rim.

"Zach?" She asked. Her voice sounded all groggy and tired. "Ash you passed out in the ocean your lucky i found you" i started. She sat up and rubbed her head. Her long hair wrapped around her arms. I slowly put my arm around her wet shoulder and rubbed it.

"Let me take you to urgent care" I suggested. I grabbed her arm and helped her up. "I'm really fine I just haven't slept well the past few days" she said. I have had the same problem to. I have been up all night thinking of her. "Why?" I asked. Why would I ask why. She doesn't like me there's no way. I was a jerk to her. She wouldn't like me.

"I just had something on my mind and couldn't get it off my mind" she said. I helped her up the steps back to her house. Could It have been me?

"Here you need to get some rest" I said. She went into the closet to change and came out with Nike shorts and a tee shirt. Her hair still wet. She hoped in bed and tangled her self in the sheets. I slowly walked out and shut the door.

"Zach?" I heard. I anxiously turned around and opened the door. "Can you stay for a little I'm still kind of shook up about everything" she asked. I was stunned at the question.

"I uh sure yea" I said. I shut the door and sat down on the bed next to her and rubbed her shoulder.

"You can lay down you dufus" she said. I let out a small laugh and laid down. I kept my arm around her shoulder. I wanted to make her feel safe.
