Oahu, Hawaii.
After being brought up in the sand, sea, getting muddy feet and staying out until it was way past your bedtime. Olivia decided it was time to follow the path of dwelling with the dolphins. Professional surfing, and a little bit of football, drinking, and girls.
After taking a job as a lifeguard to pass time between her souped up life a freak accident on the beach causes Olivia to put her and everyone around her at risk. When it all takes a turn for the worst, the consequences are life threatening for Olivia.
With the incident leaving her helplessly damaged in unimaginable ways, she is unable to work, practice or continue with the few things that make her world go around.
There's a lot of talk of failure, cheating, retirement, stupidity. She's going to prove them all wrong. And no one is going to tell her otherwise.
"Seriously you've dated the same guy since freshman year!" He asks astonished.
I nod my head.
"So, you've only kissed one guy?"
I laugh. "Why does everyone always ask that?"
Izzy Gavins has only dated one guy; has only ever kissed one guy. Everyone tells her to live her life and to have fun. She does have fun, Tyler makes her happier than anyone she's ever met.
Tyler Lochner flunked sixth grade and had to repeat it. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. If that hadn't happened he wouldn't have gotten to go through high school with the one girl he's ever loved.
It's their last summer before college and they're not going to let any minute go to waste. At least that's what Tyler thought till Izzy started having doubts about their relationship.
Maybe everyone is right, maybe she's holding herself back to fit into Tyler's lifestyle. Maybe she needs a break to work on herself.
One thing Tyler hates is the not knowing, for him they're either together or not.
Everyone says change is a good thing, but what if it's not? Because this change hurts like hell.
