I was reaching for the door handle of the cute red Chevy when I was stopped. I was very confused at this but even more when McKarson reached for the handle instead to open my door.
Not really something I would see from him... But whatever.
We were about half way down my street when it hit me... I had no idea where we were going.
"Where exactly are we studying?"
He looks a little confused,"I thought you had somewhere in mind.?"
"Erm... Actually. Ha-ha...yeah. No." I say with an innocent "oops" sort of smile.
Then I remembered that I'm supposed to hate him. "I'm sure you know plenty of places... Although they might not be appropriate." I say with an eye roll
I'm back baby.!
"There she is! I was wondering where your oh so hurtful words went."
He says as he fakes his broken heart.
"Shut up and get your eyes back on the road."
I try to hide my smile and I thought I had gotten away with it. However...
"Don't think you can hide your smile bc I can clearly see it. The dimples are hard to miss." He catches what he says about the same time my head whips around to see his strawberry red face.
The rest of the drive is pure silence.

We drive for about 30 minutes with nothing but silence. I was even scared to touch the radio so I decided to stay still.
We pulled over to a gas station next to a beach I had no idea even existed down here.
It has only been 30 minutes I thought...
He gets out and goes inside the little store and I take a quick look out the window and escape making my way over to the sand.
I take off my sandals and hold them in my hand. The cold sand feels amazing in between my French tipped toes.
The water looks amazing. Gah... How I love the water. As I get closer the salt fills my senses and all I hear on the empty beach is the calming sound of the waves.
I sneak up closer and just barley dip my feet into the cold smooth water coming up to about my ankles.
I miss this. I miss it so much. I feel my eyes get a glossy coat over them.
I knew where I was.
I remember last summer. The summer that made me move away from this horrifying place and luckily Shane stuck by my side. The summer that I swore to never touch the water again. The summer that tore my life apart and took another.
I mourned for the rest of the year and did all my school work from home. I managed to get it out of my head... And now it's back... I'm back.
I tear up and back away slowly from the water, Like it was a hungry tiger just ready to pounce upon its prey.
"Oh my goodness there you are! I was scared sick!"
He takes a look at, what looks to him, to be a beautiful scenery.
"Beautiful isn't it?"
When he doesn't get an answer he looks at me and I hope I don't look as gullible as I feel.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay!? Your crying! Did I say something? Did I do something? Please just tell me..."
He looks so worried but I never leave eye contact with the water as I say
"Yeah, fine. Let's just leave please."
I never want to see this place again...
Is what I think to myself as I leave. The same exact thing I said to myself when I walked off of it beside my best friend, balling, watching them carry my life away to the ambulance in waiting.
