He sat on the beach staring out at the water. It's almost been a year since he's been in the water doing what he loved: surfing. Why hasn't he been in the water?
He sat on his board looking behind him for a wave to ride. His friends already found a descent wave to ride and were waiting for him to find one. As he waited, he could hear his friends calling to him to hurry up and stop being so picky. He peered back and saw the perfect wave. He smiled and began to paddle until he met the wave. She he moved to do a trick, his foot slipped causing him to fly off his board and into the water.
His friends all tried to swim and find him. They found his board but not his body. One called for help and a search began for his body. As soon as help arrived, a friend found his body and began to pull him towards the shore. Paramedics and his aunt were running up to them. The paramedics took him and tried to save him.
As everyone looked at him, they could see a bone in his leg out of place and a cut on his forehead. He awoke in the hospital with his family around him not remembering, at first, what had happened.
He breathed in the scent of the ocean. Boy did he miss it. He still wasn't over what had happened a year ago.
An upside about a year ago, he met an amazing girl. She was always there for him when he needed her. She treated him like he meant something. She was simply amazing. He remembered waking up one day in the hospital and she was there. It made him so happy to actually have someone outside of the family that cared about him. She made him feel so happy that he asked her out.
He walked into his apartment closing the door behind him and set his keys down on a table. He could hear her in their room and walked over to the door. There he stood and watched her put makeup on.
"You don't need it." he said making her look at him through the mirror.
She smiled. "Hey babe. Have a nice walk?"
"It was okay," he told her.
She continued to put on her makeup before he walked into the room. He stood behind her when she finished, and turned her around. He planted a kiss on her lips before wrapping his arms around her.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm with you, baby. How can I not be?" he asked before kissing her again.
"I'm not sure," she told him wrapping her arms around his neck; "I missed you this morning."
"I'm sorry. Walks seem to wake me up."
"That's understandable," she said.
He let her go and watched her put her makeup away. He could stare at her all day and not get sick of her. She was so beautiful. She didn't care what others thought of her. She would stick up for anyone who was being put down.
She made him complete.
