Ch. 1
It had been two weeks since he came home from the hospital after being in a bad surfing accident and Twister Rodriguez was feeling great. Things couldn't be better. He was hanging out with his best bro, Otto, again now that the huge argument they had was behind them. Otto had changed attitude a little and stopped acting like a big shot—for the moment. He knew that this would change soon, but right now he didn't care. He figured that Otto was going to be Otto and nothing was ever going to change that for long. He knew he just had to over look the things that Otto said and did sometimes. Even though it made him mad, he couldn't imagine life without Otto being his best bro. He got a bad taste of it when they weren't speaking and it wasn't fun. That is, after all, why he landed in the hospital in the first place.
He remembered that day well. He and Otto hadn't been speaking for about week and he was going out of his mind from boredom. He was planning to go to Madtown with Eddie, but Otto had to screw that up too by asking Eddie to go play hockey. He knew that Otto just did it to spite him. He could be such an asshole sometimes. Left with nothing else to do, Twister decided to go surfing by himself. He knew it was a bad idea, but he did it anyway. It was late in the afternoon and most of the shoobies had already left the beach. "That's fine with me" he thought, shoobies only get in the way of the serious surfers anyway. Everything was great until a monster wave came and toppled him off his board—head over heels. He felt his body being pulled under by the force of the wave as he struggled to get to the surface. Rolling around like a pinball underwater, he felt his skull crack against something very hard—then everything went black.
The next thing he knew he was lying in a hospital bed with Otto standing over him screaming "Dude, WAKE UP!" The doctors said that he had a concussion from hitting his head on a rock. They also told him that he was very lucky to be alive because he was teetering on the verge of death when the tourist (shoobie) pulled him from the water. Luckily, they knew CPR and were able to get most of the water from his lungs before the ambulance finally came. Maybe shoobies aren't so bad after all. Thinking back to that day, Twister knew that he was lucky to be alive because right now his life was better than ever.
Even his brother, Lars, was being nicer to him than he ever had before. A few days ago Lars invited him to hang out—just the two of them. They had a great time together blading and skateboarding. Twister even shot some video of Lars—something that he had never done since he got the twist cam. He figured that Lars would be back to normal soon too, just like Otto. He was still just shaken up over the accident and the very real chance that Twister could have died.
As long as Lars was acting like a real brother, Twister liked the idea of hanging out with him. He always wished that they could be closer, but some times it seemed like all Lars wanted to do was "whomp" him. Twister knew that Lars really does care about him and he just acts that way cause he has to look cool for his friends by torturing his little bro. Whatever. Twister was just enjoying it while it lasted.
All those things were great, but the real reason he felt so good was because for the first time in his life he knew what it meant to be in love. He had always loved her since they were just little kids, but he never could speak the words for fear of rejection…and then there was Otto to think about, of course.
He never thought that she could fall in love with someone like him. He wasn't too bright and he never really did great at anything he tried because Otto was always a step ahead of him. He struggled to figure out what she saw in him, but found no answer. She was so smart and beautiful. She could probably have any guy in Ocean Shores. What could she possibly want with someone like him, he wondered. He remembered the day in the hospital, only two weeks ago, when she told him that she loved him. At first he couldn't believe what she was saying. Then he thought that she didn't really mean it and was just upset over the accident. But the moment that Reggie pressed her lips to his, he knew it was real.
AN: This chap was just kinda a summary to Twisted Fate. It really gets started in Ch. 2.
