*Luke's POV* ((pointless POV))

As we walk over to little red ridinghoes house, Beau has to stop to throw up the contents of his breakfast. None of us seem to bother helping him, it's more of a habit rather than a real sickness.

"S'okay guys, I'm fine on my own." Beau says slightly pissed off.

"Nah you're alright..." James laughs and the other boys join in apart from me.

I would have laughed if he thought of an actual smart remark but 'nah you're alright' doesn't quite satisfy me.

Beau rushes to rejoin us and he playfully hits James on the back and James turns quickly to try and catch him but instead, he knocks Jai.

"Bitch!" Jai says under his breath.

With that, James spreads his arms around Jai so he is hugging him. Beau laughs and jumps on top and I keep walking because I am not with them.

*Bennie's POV*

My body is sprawled across the couch as I watch morning cooking shows. My cereal bowl is now empty and on the floor somewhere but I don't have the energy to locate it and take it back to the kitchen quite yet. I scan the room to find a clock, I still have over thirty minutes.

I get up from my backside and pick up the bowl and walk to the kitchen. I think the easiest thing to do would be to leave the house now and just walk even slower than normal, sounds more appealing than staying here and thinking about what my mom said earlier. I try and block it out as it will be easier for her just to think of the positives instead of forcing herself back to her shell, like last time.

I find my bag and quietly leave the house.

I don't get far when I realise that I've forgotten my blazer, I'd get in a deep load of trouble if I didn't come to school with it. I don't panic though. I take a deep breath and remember the amount of time I have to go get it and to arrive at school, no way I will be late, but my subconscious begs to differ.

I turn on my heels and walk back to my house embracing the breeze that blows against me. I like living here. If you take away all the cons of this place, then everyone would be happy. In fact, the sea is all people need.

I reach my house in barely any time and I run upstairs and grab my blazer which is thrown next to the bed which my mom is no longer in. I hear her singing downstairs and the kettle so I smile slightly. I then go down the stairs and call to my mom 'goodbye' and leave the house again.

I find myself running down the stone steps which lead to the sand. My legs stop moving once I've reached the ground. I remove my shoes and socks and feel the soft grainy sand between my toes, it kind of tickles but not enough to make me laugh. I sit on a stone boulder which is small enough for me to still have my feet in the sand.

"Stop complaining, her house is just there." I hear one voice say, the rest are muffled. I recognize the first voice but I can't put a face to it. I jump off the boulder and grab my socks and shoes and creep up the steps still barefooted.

As I get closer, the voices become more clearer.

"So we're here to do what?" Another voice says.

"I told you at the house! For fucksake, James." Another.

James? I only know a few James' but none of them I talk to. One of them stays with all Daniels friends. The friends that tried to threaten me into liking Daniel.

My eyes widen and I try to listen into their conversation more. I sit on near enough the top step but the still can't see me. I pull on my socks and shoes so I don't look stupid if I have to run.

"Just all shut up, I'm trying to concentrate." A voice I was hoping wasn't there says. The same boy who helped me when I fainted. The same boy who gave me some of his drink. The same boy who walked me home.

"Luke." I gasp under my breath so it loud enough for only me to hear.

"What?" He questions to one of the boys and I feel my face redden, he heard me.

"What?" One of the boys respond.

"One of you said my name..." Luke says in the same confident tone.

Then I hear around three or four voices disagreeing with him or denying it.

"Dude, you're hearing voices." One laughs and the other boys laugh along.

"No, I'm not. I heard my name." Luke argues.

"If you say so..." The boys tease. "We gotta hurry if we are gonna get Bennie before she leaves."

The mention of my name makes my body go numb and I can almost only hear my heartbeat. It speeds up and I grab the step above the one I'm sitting on, and I move down the steps and walk along the sand, in need of a way to school.

"Bennie! How are you? I haven't seen you in a while! How's your mom? Is she still fit... doing well, i mean." Dean says loudly approaching me, he's overly enthusiastic about everything to do with my mom; hence the volume.

"A lot of questions, but I have to go. School..." I say, trying not to whisper but also trying not to speak to loud.

"Yeah yeah, I might come around to see your mom." Dean has always fancied my mom, ever since they had a fling a while back, before I was born. So he's liked her for a long time.

"I'll have to check. Anyway, I have to go..." I trail off.

"Sure, have a good day at school, learning and shit."

I nod at him and smile, he sort of shrugs it off and continues walking and I do the same.

"Bennie!" I hear my name and turn around expecting to see Dean asking about my mom, but instead I see the boys -who I thought I escaped from- walking towards me.
