Best Friend or Boyfriend? // Why Don't We

Chapter 36

Camry's pov

I got to the beach and got out of my car. I went to the boardwalk and saw the guys and Val. Val saw me and ran up to hug me. We laughed, and then we walked up to the guys.

"There's my Camry," Daniel smiled as he hugged me.

Then I hugged Jonah and Zach. Corbyn was last since Jack was there. He hugged me for a few more seconds.

"You look happier," he whispered.

I looked up at him and smiled.

"I am," I said.

We all walked down to the beach and set up our towels and stuff. Once I set my towel up and had taken off the clothes that were over my swimsuit, I felt arms wrap around my waist and pick me up. I started laughing and looked back. It was Zach.

"Zachary!" I yelled.

He carried me down to the water and set me down in it. It was freezing.

"Oh my- Zach!" I whined.

"Aww. Poor Camry," he pouted.

I ran out of the water. That's when everyone else appeared. Daniel threw me over his shoulder and started walking farther out into the ocean.

"Daniel!" I screamed and started hitting his back. "Set me down!"

"If you say so," he shrugged.

He set me down, and the water was up to my waist. It was freezing cold, and I was shaking. Everyone else got in the water as well. They started splashing each other, so everyone got in a war. Eventually, we were soaked. After a while longer of staying in the water, Val and I went back up to our towels to tan. I put on some more sunscreen and laid down on my towel. Val and I talked for a while since the guys were still in the water.

"I'm really glad to see you smiling again," she told me.

"Yeah. I just needed a break from everything. It was so overwhelming," I explained.

"I completely understand. I would do the same if I had been in that situation," she agreed.

"I just don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive him. He doesn't even know how bad he hurt me," I sighed.

"I'm sure he does. He probably feels awful about it. I mean, this is all his fault," she said.

"Everything is okay, though. It's over," I shrugged.

Val gave me a sympathetic look. I smiled softly. That's when the guys came up. They made it so we were sitting in a circle. Jonah shook his head, and all the water that was in his hair went everywhere. It smacked Val and I in the face.

"Jonah," she whined.

"Sorry, babe," he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

We all talked for a while before deciding that we should probably leave. It was close to dinner time, so we decided to meet at one of the McDonalds somewhere.

"I'm going to ride with Camry," Val told them.

"See you there," they told us.

Val and I walked to my car. We both got it. I let her hook up her phone to the aux cord and play her own music. We jammed out until we got to McDonalds. We went inside and met the guys there. Val and I ordered together, and she paid for me. The guys all paid separately. We sat at a table all together. That's when two girls walked in that were wearing only their swimsuits, which were way too revealing in the first place. They barely even covered anything up at all, and it was disgusting. I watched as they eyed the guys. Val and I exchanged looks because I knew she saw them as well. The guys were too busy talking about something else to even notice the girls.

"Excuse me," the girl with her blond hair in two french braids said.

All the guys went silent and turned to look at her and her friend. Val tensed up, and I was trying so hard not to say something about what they were wearing. At least Val and I had thrown clothes on over our swimsuits, so we weren't walking around public places half naked.

"Do any of you have change for a twenty?" she bit her lip.

I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Umm," Jonah reached in his pocket and took out his wallet.

Jonah was that one nice guy that didn't care about anything because he was like super nice no matter who you are or what you look like. He handed her some money as she handed him the twenty dollar bill.

"Can I get your number since we're exchanging things?" she smirked.

Val stared at Jonah, wondering what he was going to say.

"I'm in a relationship," he told her nicely before grabbing Val's hand and intertwining their fingers.

That's when the girl's friend walked up.

"Hey, sexy," the other girl, who had her hair in a messy bun, said as she checked out Daniel.

"Sorry, but I'm not interested," Daniel told her in the nicest way possible.

"Let me guess, this slut is your girlfriend?" she scoffed and looked at me.

"No, actually. Plus, who are you to be calling her a slut?" Daniel shot back.

"I look sexy," she looked down at herself.

"More like a prostitute," Corbyn said.

Then his eyes widened, and he put his hand over his mouth. We were all trying to hold back laughed. I honestly didn't think he meant to say that out loud. The two girls folded their arms and stormed outside. Once they left, we all busted out laughing.

"Guys, I'm being so honest right now. I really didn't mean to say that out loud," Corbyn was laughing so hard, but he did sound sorry.

"Corbyn, usually I would be disappointed, but that was actually really funny," Val admitted.

We ate out food, and Val and I got back in the car to meet the guys back at the Why Don't We house.
