I went to the boys' room and somebody lifted me up. I realized it was Boston and he smirked. "Hey East." Boston said going over to Easton's bed. Easton stirred in his sleep and Boston threw me onto Easton. Easton woke up and pushed me off him. I landed on the floor and said "Rude." I went on his bed and started jumping.
Easton pulled me down and punched me three times. "Ow." I said and started crying. Easton looked at me and asked me "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." I sniffled, wiping my face and going over to the couch. I pulled my knees up to my chest and silently cried for five minutes. "Are you okay, Jude?" Blair asked me. "Yeah. Just tired." I answered. "Come on. Let's go for a walk." He replied. "But we have to wait for everybody." I said. "No we don't. Just come on. I'll tell my dad we're going to meet them at breakfast." He told me. "Do you want to go?" He asked. "Yeah." I answered. "Okay. Come on." He replied and lifted me up. "Jude and I are going for a walk we'll meet you at breakfast." Blair told Adam. "Okay." Adam replied.
Blair walked out of the hotel room and walked towards the beach. "I'm gonna put you down now." He told me and put me down on the ground. "So tell me what happened. Why were you crying?" Blair asked me as we got to the beach. I told him what happened and he said "I'm sorry Easton did that." "It's fine. I'm pretty sure he is sorry too. When he looked at me once he realized what he did, he looked the smallest bit sorry." I replied. "Are you actually afraid of the ocean?" He asked. "Kind of. I'm fine with being in it, I just don't really like the animals. Especially the Sharks." I answered. "Jude, there aren't any sharks where we go because it's too shallow." He replied. "I know. I'm just paranoid, I guess." I said. He nodded and replied "Just remember, whoever you fight is just as scared of you as you are of them. That goes for people and animals." I nodded and somebody picked me up from behind. I screamed and looked up to see Boston. "Hey." I said. "Hey." He replied.
"Want to go surfing with me?" He asked. "I can't. I don't know how to." I answered. "That's okay. I'll teach you." He replied. "Okay. I just don't want to go too far out." I said. He nodded and put me down. We went to the restaurant and met up with Easton, Cash, Adam and my mom. We ate breakfast and then I went with Boston to the beach.
Seven hours later...
It's now time for dinner and we have to go back to the hotel room to get ready for dinner. I've ignored Easton every time he's tried to talk to me. Boston and I spent the whole day surfing which was awesome. I'm not that good at it, but I like it. Boston is really good at it and he taught me a lot. "Dude, you did a good job today." Boston told me. "Thanks." I replied.
Boston and I went to the pool where everybody else was and Adam asked me "So did you like surfing?" "Yeah. It's awesome." I answered. He smiled and Cash asked me "Are you still afraid of the ocean?" "No. And I wasn't afraid in the first place. " I answered. "Sure you weren't." Cash laughed. "Let's go back to the room or we'll be late for dinner." Adam said. We nodded and started walking back to the hotel room.
Boston and I were talking about surfing when somebody started tickling my neck. I started laughing and turned around to see Cash. "S-Stop C-Cash." I laughed. He stopped and we made it to the hotel room. I took a shower and changed into a blue shirt and khaki shorts.

We went to dinner and I sat next to Boston and Cash. "So how many times did you fall while surfing today?" Easton asked me. "A lot, but that's part of it." I answered. He nodded and Adam asked me "Do you think you'll go surfing again?" "Heck yeah. It was awesome." I answered. "So on Thursday and Friday night, Paige and I are going to have date nights, so you boys can do whatever you want. Just make sure it's not dangerous." Adam told us. "So who wants to start off with what we do tomorrow?" Mom asked. "I do. Let's go zip lining." Easton answered. "Okay. We can do that." Adam replied. "And where should we go to eat?" Mom asked. "The barbecue place." Easton answered. We nodded and finished dinner.
"Paige and I are going for a walk on the beach." Adam told us. "Okay." We replied and went back to the hotel room. I got changed into pyjamas and sat down on the couch. Easton sat beside me and I sighed and got up. "Are you still mad at me?" He asked. "What do you think?" I replied. "Jude, don't be like that." Easton sighed. "Leave me alone." I said and went to the little bedroom Blair was in. "I hate your brother." I told him sitting next to him. "Which one?" He asked. "Easton." I answered. "Look, Easton didn't mean to punch you. He did it on instinct. He's used to beating us up. He thought you were one of us. You ignoring him all day has been killing him." Blair told me. I sighed and Easton came into the room. "Jude, I'm sorry I punched you this morning." He apologized. "It's fine. I shouldn't have provoked you." I replied. He nodded and hugged me from behind. "Ugh. Let go." I sighed. He laughed and pinched my side. I jumped and tried to get away from him as he tightened his grip. "Blair, help." I said wiggling around. He smirked and squeezed my knee. I screamed and Easton started poking my sides and stomach. I burst out laughing and begged them to stop.
They stopped after two minutes and Easton let me go. "Time for bed, Jude." Mom told me. "Okay." I replied. I went to the pull out couch and fell asleep.
