"Today was different. I could feel something different about it. I turned my board around, and waited, trying to mentally prepare myself that I was going to be riding a wave after years. "I'm facing my fears!" was what I kept reciting in my head.
The wave was getting closer.
"One... Two... ," I imagined Grant counting, in an attempt to calm my nerves. But, I couldn't calm my heart from pounding against my chest. "I can't do this," I thought. "I can't-"Three..." My heart began to slow down. The wave was getting closer.
"Four..." In an instant, I was on my knees, and the next, I was on my feet. A feeling of deja vu filled my mind, as tiny salt water droplets splashed on my face. I was immediately overcome with the feeling of happiness, and began laughing. I was surfing.
"I did it! I actually did it! I'm surfing, Char look-" My sentence was cut short, when I looked over to show them. I saw them both look at each other, frantically talking. When they turned back to face me, I could see it. It was written all over their faces. Worry.
I was about to ask what was wrong when Charlotte screamed at me, with a panic in her voice, "SCAR! LOOK OUT!"
It was as if everything moved in slow motion. I turned my head to look behind me, but it was too late. I was thrown off from my board in an instance, and propelled into the water."
When Grant is told that Scarlette is in a comatose, he never leaves her side. He holds her hand, and tells her stories in an attempt to wake her up.
