Waiting For Superman

Two

By the time we actually arrived at the lodge it was just past 1am.

“We should go to the beach” Frankie proposed.

I know for sure that was the most amazing thing about this group of friends, we all live in and for the moment. We all take risks and are very adventurous but Frankie and Taylor; they are the only ones who will make sure all of this happens. They say what goes; they encourage us to do crazy things that we won’t wake up in the morning regretting.

“Like now” Taylor added as we all stood at the cars outside of our lodge that we rented.

Without talking it through or even agreeing, we began walking to the beach even though it was 1am in the morning.

“Yeah I have them” I heard Taylor mention to Frankie behind me, Dylan, Stefan and Ashley as we all walked in front.

“Have what?” Dylan questioned.

We all turned around to face Taylor and Frankie.

They both looked like Christmas lights; they started to pull out these balloons that had glow sticks inside. We all started grabbing colours that we preferred, from blue, to green, to red, to pink, to purple and to white.

I took pink, Ash took purple, Taylor kept red, Dylan took blue, Frankie kept green and Stefan took white.

For a while we sat on the pebbles just before we started to throw our balloons into the ocean. They would float beautifully on top and give the ocean some different colour of light, it was an amazing view.

We all already knew that this was a perfect trip, which we didn’t want to leave to go home from, that this is the best that we can be, and we would make beautiful memories such as this.

“I don’t want to face reality, I love it here” Stefan moaned as we all sat close to one another on the pebbles.

“This trip is ours” Ashley added to Stefan’s moan.

“Unforgettable” Taylor said, flashing a smile at us all.

Ashley kissed his cheek and I looked at Dylan with a smile, already to find him smiling at me.

Look away Neavie before it gets awkward.

We were all sat down for about 10-15 minutes before we got up and continued walking down the coast.

I was walking with Stefan who is one of the closest friends to me.

“How amazing is this, to be here with you all” he said looking at the pebbles as we walked on.

“Couldn’t get any better Stef” I assured him.

I paused before talking to him about ‘us’. You see Stefan is a close friend to me, as I am to him but before we came away, Frankie explained to me that he didn’t want me to feel awkward as Stefan liked me. I didn’t feel awkward; I just wanted to talk to him about it.

 “Stefan” I said, but pausing shortly after just thinking about what Frankie told me.

“I know” he said, he already knew what I was going to say. Frankie must have told him.

I turned my head away from him and I noticed that he did the same.

We slowed down a little as we were further ahead, compared to everyone else.

“I know how you feel Neavah, it just sucks” he assured me.

As if I didn’t already know, I hate hurting people; I know how it feels to be hurt by someone close to me.
