Our Own Roller Coaster *ON HIATUS*

[18] FIREWORKS,FRIENDS AND LAUGHS

A bit long, sorry.

ALEXA'S POV:

We were just chilling at the side of the beach chatting about stupid random stuffs until Stone cuts Dibby who's currently talking about how people in the internet needs to start being more logic cause' everyone is being stupid talking about how we don't touch our lips when we say 'touch' but our lips do touch when we say 'seperate'. (My friend did say this.)

"Hey guys? I have something to top this night." He grinned. He takes something out of nowhere and waved it in front of his face.

We looked at it, fireworks.

"Let's light 'em up!" Hunter jumped forward and grabbed the fireworks from Stone's hand and began walking to the middle of the beach where it's more clearer. We looked at each other, shrugged and followed him.

Hunter gave each of us one firework, hold his lighter in the middle as we are forming a small circle we put the firework closer to the fire and David started the counting.

"One, two-"

"Wait!Wait!"

"What Alexa, way to ruin the moment!" Mary groaned.

"Can we just go and buy some foods and snacks, you know, like enjoying the fireworks while eating ice cream in the middle of the night? How does that sounds?"I grinned at them. They looked at each other before sighing.

"Well, I kinda hungry too, so.." Lily dragged and I grinned.

"Fine, but we're going to light these after."

"Of course." I nodded.

"But, what kind of shop would open at times like this?" Mary asked.

"That shop."I pointed at a shop on the other side of the road.

"Oh."

We went to the shop, bought a few snacks, sodas, ice creams and other kind of junk foods that we liked.

We walked back to the spot on the beach before, put the foods to the side and started to form a circle again with the fireworks in our hands and Hunter's lighter in the middle.

"Ready? One, two, THREE."

We light them up,put it on the ground and takes a few steps back. We watched as it starts to lit up, flying through the thin, salty air and started to form into a beautiful flower-like shape. Big grins on our faces.

We continued doing this. I don't know how many did Stone bought, but it sure is a lot. I looked over to my new friends and brothers as they excitedly looking at the beautiful sky.

You know one of those moments? Where you just look around thinking, 'Damn, I am having a very good time right now.'

I smiled softly as they laughed, chuckling slowly as Stone is making funny faces.I already finished my ice cream so I took a soda can and walked a bit far from them.

I looked up to the sky. It was dark, nothing is displayed on the sky except for the moon that craved for the presence of the stars. It was quiet too, one of those nights where everyone thought nothing would happen and they just go to sleep, waiting for the next day. Little did they know that almost everything happens tonight, people dying, a new life came to the world, people not being able to fall asleep because they are haunted by the past or simply just because the place they lived in was not safe. Everything happens.Yet, we ungrateful humans just don't care about it. I looked up, 'Hey brother, how ya doing? Hope you're doing great up there cause I am down here.'

A lone tear slipped down my cheek and I quickly wiped them a way. 'Pull yourself together Alexa. What happens to moving on? To not showing other people of how vulnerable you are? Keep it together and you'll be fine.'I take a sip of my soda and laid on my back. The fireworks eventually stopped followed by the sounds of laughter.

I take a deep breath, closing my eyes. I listened. To the sound of the waves crashing to the shores, the sound of the air blowing, the sound of slow laughter from my friends and brothers. Just by hearing these makes a small smile crept to my face.

It wasn't long until I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I opened my eyes and saw a silhouette hovering over me. I squinted my eyes a bit. David.

"Hey, what are you doing here? The others already started cleaning so I thought I should call you."

"Nothing. Just, you know, enjoying the silence of the nature.Come and join me if you want." I patted the sand. He looked back to the others and obliged.

"Your brothers are cool." He started after a few seconds of silence.

I hummed. "You are too."

He chuckled. "So what are you thinking. You looked really deep in your thoughts earlier."

I raised a brow. "You've been stalking me or what?" I said in a joking tone.

He chuckled again and shrugged. "Maybe. But seriously though, penny for your thoughts?"

"Nothing.It's just crazy how we all got along so well with each other. And as I said earlier, simply enjoying the nature. We enjoy it, while it still last because once we lost it, we're going to regret." I said in a calm tone.

I can feel his burning stare at me and I turned. "What?"

He looked away, shaking his head a bit. "I never thought you were such a deep person. For your badass attitude you really seemed like a different person tonight."

"Well, what can I say? You don't really know me. If I think you're important and trustworthy, I'll reveal myself in layers. I peel slowly, just one little flinch and I seal." I stared intently at him.

He looked down, unable to beat my heated stare. "Wow, I think I just got goosebumps."

He looked down at his arms and rubbed them slowly as if to prove his point. I chuckled. Our small chat got interrupted by a voice.

"Hey guys! We're going now. You coming?"

"Ok!" I replied. I got up and looked at David. He is staring at the sea, deep in thought.

"Well, are you coming?" He snapped his gaze to me and mumbled a slow 'yeah'. I held out a hand and he take it. We brushed our pants and walked to the others.

"What the heck guys! You didn't even help us clean."

I laughed. "So?"

We said goodbyes and good nights and  head to our cars and bikes.

Me and my brothers ride home. Occasionally speeds up to stay at the front. We got home, went to our rooms and instantly fall asleep after changing into our pajamas. Well, I think they wear pajamas.
