I wake up on the beach. Ashley hugs me.
"What the hell's wrong with you!?" She asks.
"Yo, you said you ain't gon do that again, but cha did it." Troy adds.
"I'm fine, wait, why are you here?" I ask.
"Luke brought us, he's getting your parents." Ashley tells me. Shit.
"Dylan!" I hear them yelling from a few yards away, Luke is leading them. He gets to me before they do.
"Where is she? What the hell is wrong with you?! You put yourself in danger and you brought her with you this time! Where the hell is she?!" Luke asks, shoving me.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?!" now I'm pissed. I pull back my fist and throw it forward into his face, he stumbles back. I bet he didn't expect me to be that strong. Troy and Ashley get between us. I shove past them and kick him in the stomach, he's on his back now. Troy picks me up as I flail around kicking and screaming.
"Stop it, stop it, stop it." He says, trying to calm me down while Ashley helps Luke off the ground.
My parents come up to me, I can see they're worried. I stop thrashing around to catch my breath.
"Dylan, what has gotten into you?" My mom asks, worried.
"Shut the fuck up, you lied to me, you all fucking lied to me!" I shout at my parents, my mom starts crying and my other mom hugs her, my dad gives me a stern look.
"Enough young lady, you're going home, you're grounded." He says.
I break free from Troy's grip and I run past them, I run and run. I don't look back. I run to where the carnival was, it's gone by now. I stop when I find an old graffiti-covered wall to hide behind.
I know it could backfire and be a bad idea and it's probably a violation of privacy to do what I'm about to do but, they have to know. I select the entire conversation between Sam and me about Luke, hit copy, then go to the group chat and hit paste. Then I step out from behind the wall.
I walk back to my house slowly, when my moms see me again they look worried and angry at the same time.
"Young lady you-" I cut her off.
"You lied, I can touch water just fucking fine. Stop putting acid or whatever the fuck in our taps." I say, walking inside.
"Language!" She shouts back at me. I don't have the energy to care right now though. I go to my room and drop onto my bed, all the running and jumping and punching from tonight has definitely taken its toll. The rage and adrenaline rush I had is starting to crash. When my head touches the pillow I pass the fuck out.
