"yeah, I'll be around" I answer walking away "when you want to rehearse just text me!"
"Where are you going?" Corbyn asks
"Just going to walk around" I answer
"You don't want to go to the ocean with us?" Jack offers
"Swim around, play some volleyball" Daniel suggests
"Um" I look around to see their faces "I'll play volleyball" I say and go back inside to wait for everyone else. I'm in shorts and a small top. I'd just rather not be in swimwear, there's no point. Besides for tanning.
I won't be out for long.
"Ready?" Jonah asks and we all agree and get up to go to the beach.
Zach and Jack were racing to the water. Jonah, Corbyn, and Daniel were in a little triangle up ahead. Jon took a turn right to go to this little stand and Tyler and I are going to that same stand.
"They didn't convince you, huh?" Tyler questions
"They did, I agreed to playing volleyball" I shrug "I'm still planning on walking around later"
"If we spend the whole day here, right?" Tyler asks
"Pretty much because I'm pretty sure you guys wanted to go kayaking later"
"No I think we're actually going to go tomorrow" Tyler says
"Got it" I then go up to the stand "can I get shaved ice?"
"Yeah, flavor?"
"I don't know, anything blue" I shrug
"got it, a surprise" he chuckles and soon enough he hands me shaved ice which I paid for and I'm almost finished.
"Didn't you just get that?" Jon laughs and I nod my head.
"You're just like Jonah" Tyler says "he can be starting on his burrito I look away then back and he's already half way" he laughs
"Too bad this isn't a burrito" I mumble and follow the two after throwing away the plastic cup and spoon. Heading to the beach.
"Jon's going in, how about you?" Tyler questions as I sit on the warm sand. "Okay" he laughs "I'll keep you company"
"No it's alright, you can go in if you want" I assure
"Bam bam!" Jack yells and our heads turn to the five boys and Jon in the water.
"See they're calling you over" I speak and look away from the water and to the sand in front of me.
"I'll go in later" he says and waves them off "so you used to surf?"
"Yup, I doubt I can now"
"C'mon, didn't you say you surfed for years" Tyler says
"Yes, but I also haven't surfed in a year" I say "and I'm not going to try anytime soon"
"Okay I get it" Tyler says "what was your favorite part of the ocean?"
"What?"
"You're favorite part" he repeats
"I wouldn't say I had a favorite part" I sigh in content "I loved every bit of it" I smile "I loved the family boat trips, fishing but we would always release it" I laugh "tubing, jet ski, wakeboarding, surfing, literally anything to do with the ocean including the life that we know of"
"Must've been fun"
"It was, the coolest part about the ocean is that I believe it will never be fully discovered. There's life that we don't know that can be a few thousand miles from us, and we'd have no clue"
"That's true, the percentage of explored oceans is actually really small" Tyler says "you sure you don't want to go in? Like just a little?"
"I don't think so, did you know this is my first time coming to a beach since" I pause
"You should be very proud of yourself then, it's a big thing to overcome" Tyler says "I'm also proud that you told us, Tristan said you wouldn't but we convinced you" Tyler pats his chest proudly that Jon and Tyler now know the story of my parents and the effect it had on me.
"It was a six hour flight" I say "and we were deep in that topic" I nod "so I felt comfortable" I smile "I'm proud of me to" I mumble
"You should be, now Daniel is on his way over. Good luck telling him you won't go in the water" Tyler laughs
"Are you two coming in or not?" Daniel says standing in front of us.
"I will" Tyler stands up and makes his way over to the ocean.
"I would" I speak and Tyler immediately turns around "but man too bad I left my swimsuit at home" I playfully throw my right fist from my lap to my left shoulder.
"We can go get it" Daniel says and Tyler laughs making his way back to the ocean.
"No, I'm good" I look down, shuffling my sandals in the sand.
"C'mon, didn't you want to play volleyball? We changed it to in the water" he says sitting down next to me.
"In the water?" I ask
"Yeah, we're all going to be there" he says and I shake my head no "alright, but when you change your mind. We'll be in the water" he stands up and joins the rest.
Not even five minutes later Jack and Corbyn come over. They sit on either side of me.
"What's sup"
"How's my best friend doing?"
"I'm pretty good"
"You not coming in?" Corbyn asks
"Yeah, I want Zach to say something and you tackle him" Jack laughs
"We want you to come, we can play 4 vs 4" Corbyn says "for volleyball" he adds
"No" I speak softly and shake my head "I'm actually just going to go walk around" I stand up before they can say anything I walk away and leave the guys at the beach.
Once again mumbling to myself. "They want you to go in" I mumble "it can't be that bad" I whisper and hold out my hand in front of me to see it's slightly shaking "it's going to be fine" I assure myself "just turn around and go in the water" I slow down "turn around" but I just keep walking.
