*Bri POV*

We pulled into our driveway but we didn't get out, just kinda sat there.

"Hey Cam?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think it's good that they get married?"

"Honestly, yes, I do. Because you are always gone and you are the only family she has left. Now she finally has someone to be with her by her side."

"I just don't want him to leave her like my dad did."

"Well your dad didn't really have a choice-"

"Yes he did. He chose to drink all the time. He chose to ignore his family. He chose to decline all the help he was offered. And he chose to get in the.car that night. I should've gone down there whenever I saw him crying against the wall on the floor. It would've been worth getting in trouble because there could've been a small chance we wouldn't get in the car. But he did. Don't get me wrong, my dad is a wonderful man. But he could've accepted help when it was offered. He was so stubborn."

"Now you understand where you get that from."

"What do you mean?"

"You are so stubborn. You don't accept help when it's offered, but you are selfless like your mom."

"Let's go to the beach."

"Right now?"

"Actually, no. I wanna show you something, that I haven't shown anyone before."

I got out of the car and went inside, going upstairs to my room. I locked my door, stripping off all my clothing as I looked for my bathing suit. I got my teal Triangle bathing suit, black ripped Jean shorts, and my U.S Army varsity tshirt from PINK. I put my hair in a ponytail, putting on my converse and grabbing my Vans bag.

I met Cameron downstairs and I saw he was still in his normal clothes, so I went to his room and got his backpack that had a bathing suit and change of clothes. I tossed it at him, walking back outside and in the car. I threw my bag in the back, Cameron copying my actions as he buckled up.

"So where are we going?"

"It's gonna be almost a two hour drive, so you can just sleep if you want."

I pulled out of the drive way and we were soon on our way.

After almost two hours, I pulled into the small opening and drove further up the long narrow trail. I reached he spot I knew too well, parking the car and looked over at Cameron. He was passed out in his seat, leaning against his jacket as a pillow against the window.

"Cam.. We are here."

He woke up and rubbed his eyes, looking outside the car and took in his surroundings.

"I think I've been here before.."

"What?"

"Whenever you moved to Miami.. I remember I was having a rough night and went for a drive. I pulled into an opening and parked my car, smoking a cigarette and drunk a little bit of the scotch I kept in my car... Not anymore I promise but anyway. I came here, and I sat up on that rock cliff thing that's over the small lake.. Yeah. I've been here."

"Well shit. That ruins it."

"What?"

"No one knows about this place. It's so hidden and no one really comes to places like these. Only water parks and community pools. My dad used to take my mom and I here all the time. He tied that rope up there so I could swing off it, also helping me with my fear of hights. Jumping off that cliff gives you so much adrenaline, thinking you could do anything. I come here whenever I miss my dad or if I need to get away. It's my safe place."

After sitting for awhile we both got out and I stripped off my clothing so I was in my bathing suit. I walked into the water, and it's not too cold. I dove under, coming back up and pushed my hair back. I looked around and saw Cam sitting on the small cliff/rock. I walked out, running a towel through my hair as I walked to the trunk of my car and grabbed my bag. I saw my pack of cigarettes, debating if I should get one or not. I really do want one, but I don't know how Cameron will feel about it.

"You can have one, if you promise it's your last."

I spun around, holding the pack as I saw Cameron looking down at me.

"I can't promi-"

"Bull shit Bri. I quit, same with drinking. You have to promise me."

"But I have half a pack..."

"I don't care."

"But it's my good pack."

"Briana."

"Fine.. Just one more."

I grabbed one out and held it between my lips, grabbing my lighter and lighting it.

"Can you do a french inhale?"

"Yeah. And a dragon. Luke showed me how to do the tornado with his bowl a long time ago."

I took in some, showing him my french inhale and dragon.

It started to get dark, realizing we spent the whole day talking and swimming around the lake.

*Cameron POV *

After it started to get dark, Bri fell asleep on my lap. I picked her up carefully, putting her in the back seat so she could sleep. I threw a blanket over her, closing the door. I packed everything into the truck, getting in the drivers seat and driving us back home.
