Waves

Amira's Pov

I slip on my shoes and tiptoe out of the house, so i don't wake anyone up. Nothing good will happen if i wake Christian. I let out a breath as i get outside and start walking down to the beach, plugging in my headphones and playing my go-to playlist with a million thoughts swirling through my head.

I step onto the sand and scan the water. Its so beautiful without all the other people, as it is the middle of the night and not many people come out here this late. I missed this place. I can't believe i ever wanted to stay away from here, New Jersey is nothing compared to here, Hawaii. 

I guess i just needed to get away from.. well everything. Sophomore  year was  stressful between the weekly hospital visits and the treatment. Having Cancer was the worst thing i have ever gone through, i'm so lucky i beat it. I can't lie. At one point i was ready to end it all, to stop fighting so i guess i needed a year away after being 'cancer girl'. 

I pry my eyes away from my feet and look at the waves as they crash onto the beach. 

I scan the water better as i dip my toes into the ocean, just now seeing him. From what i can see he has Brown hair and broad shoulders. In other words he's gorgeous. I don't know how to explain this feeling.. its like i feel as if i need to know him. Somethings pulling me towards him.

I walk away from the shore and slide off my shoes, sitting on the sand. I've decided to wait for the surf boy. Theo Wright was the other reason i left. I couldn't stand being anywhere near him.  It's not like he physically hurt me but he made my life worse then it already was at the time.

I look up to see the boy walking out of the water with his surfboard. Holy shit. Up close he looks even better.  I quickly avert my eyes from him and back to my feet.

Suddenly i'm snapped out of my thoughts by a deep voice.

"Hey". I look up to see the boy sitting down  beside me. 

"Oh uh hi"I reply, probably looking startled as he chuckles quietly.

"I'm Logan what's your name" He asks me, a smile growing on his face.

"Uh i'm Amira" I say, tentatively.

"That's pretty, I've never seen you around before did you just move here?"  He questions, looking confused as i try to reply.

"No, I've lived here my whole life  until last year where i lived in New Jersey"I manage to utter out, avoiding the subject of my sickness.

"Oh i moved here a few months ago from Washington" He starts. " I'm going to east high in the fall what about you?"

"Uh yeah i am" I reply. 

"So uh this might sound weird but can i have your number?" He mumbles, sounding embarrassed. "You seem like a actually nice person and i haven't met many nice people here" 

Oh thank god, he beat me to asking. I really didn't wanna have to ask. I haven't really been social lately, I've only  talked to my family and the few close friends I've kept through the past years. 

"Oh yeah" I reply, snapping out of my thoughts. "Can you put your number in my phone?" 

I pull out my phone and open my contacts before handing him the phone. I see a smirk grow on his face as he types away. I look down to see what he did. I laugh as i see that he put his contact as 'hot surfer boy'.

"Seriously?" I ask, looking down at the time to see it's almost four am, or a hour before my parents wake up. Shit.

"Oh sorry my parents get up in a hour i have to get home" I say, standing up as he nods in understanding before getting up and speaking. 

"Yeah i should probably get home as well, bye Amira" He mumbles.

"Bye" I reply, sending him a smile and watching his figure retreat up the beach before getting up and walking the opposite way, back to my house.

I slip back through the door and tiptoe up the stairs before closing my door and plugging in my headphones, laying in bed for a while before pulling open my contacts and sending Logan a message. 

Amira (to hot beach boy): I really need to change your contact lmao

I close my phone and unplug my headphones and slip into a deep sleep.
