Waking up to having cold water thrown at your face has got to be one of the worst thing to happen and i have no idea who it was as once the water hit my face, the culprit was out of my room but once i know who it was, they going to be begging for me to stop. Everyone knows you know throw cold water in the morning when someone is having a one of a kind dream that you don't want to wake up from. Stripping my bed and my clothes i put a pair of shorts and sports bra on before taking the clothes downstairs to the washing machine, if no one owns up to what they did, ill be throwing cold water on everyone. Walking out the laundry room i head to the kitchen where everyone is sat and by there faces they know what just happened
"Who threw the water at me" i say looking around everyone and everyone shaking there heads, well it had to be someone and everyone is denying it. Looking at the clock i am surprised I slept till noon, wait scrap that I'm surprised uncle has let me slept in as he has never let me done that since he started training me.
"Fine. If no one admit to throwing water at me, ill just have to get revenge on everyone" i say turning my back and walking off but not before taking uncle Steven toast from his place with a grin, ill give them till the end of the day to own up to it, if not ill just have to pull out all the stocks for revenge.

Cleaning my self up i head into the ocean for a little practice with having quarter finals next weekend, I'm a little nervous as i cant seem to land any tricks without slipping and falling off the board. I know its going to take some practice but this is starting to annoy me, i have ben trying to land them for a while and i cant seem to be able to get my footing right. Sat on the board with my feet each side I'm waiting for the perfect wave to come where i can crash and burn but knowing me ill do more and half drown myself. Once i have my eyes on a wave i start paddling and wait to drop, only for me to slip and end in the ocean once again. I feel battered and bruise by the ocean and I'm pretty sure this is hurting my ego. Why can't I seem to land anything. Getting ticked off I lay on my surf board looking up in the sky
"Help me, I know your looking down laughing at me for landing on my arse but I need you. I need my number one supporter telling me it's going to be ok" I say holding my hands up in defeat, the ocean has won this round I have officially gave up for today. I can't seem to do it without failing, maybe I just need a drink or my number on supporter telling me not to worry. Why did you have to go.

Running my hair thought my hair as I take a seat on the beach watching the ocean come and go, i have given up surfing for today as i cant seem to focus, my mind is running a hundred miles per hour and its distracting as whenever i get in the ocean they seem to disappear but not this time. I don't know what to do, my mind is playing tricks on me surely. As i sit silently on the beach i feel a blanket going over my shoulders, i don't look up to know its my cousin Hayden, he treats me like a sister and is always over protective so its not surprising he's here now placing a blanket over me. We don't to each other instead we just enjoy the company and i prefer the silences sometimes as just watching the ocean is enough for both of us. As i look at my cousin i have no idea what's running though his mind, i have took his friend away from him to help me surf. But i don't stop there my whole family from cousin to uncles and aunties have come down to help and support me, how do i give back the love there giving me. Placing my head on Hayden shoulder i move closer to him
"I love you, thank you for believing in me"' i say to my cousin who wraps a arm around my shoulder, I'm glad i have this relationship with my family, my parents might not be here anymore but they are definitely looking down and watching me with a wide smile. Only if they could see me surf for real one last time
"I will always believe in you. Your never alone in this world lottie" i smile as Hayden replies, he doesn't normally have a soft spot in his bones but when it comes to me, he's a real softie. As we both sit and watch the ocean for another half an hour. Hayden finally says it time to head in for food and I couldn't disagree as I'm starving, he read my mind.
