So, just as a note, I really don't know that much about the show, but I decided to write this anyways. Also, I don't own anything except for my own characters (who aren't even in this). If I owned the show, I definitely wouldn't be writing this. (Extra note: although the font changed on this part, the prologue itself is the same. I just bolded these words so they would be separate from the story).
The ocean had always been a calming presence in his life. Until now. The waves were crashing all around him. Lightening flashed across the sky, and the sound of thunder filled his ears. How much longer could he hold on before he lost his grip on the rocks? If he made it out of this predicament, this would be the last time he would ever come out on the cliffs during a storm again. Especially alone at 3 am. The tide had risen until he was completely stranded out on an outcropping of rocks, hanging off the edge with no way to pull himself up. And all he'd wanted to do was clear his head.
Nothing had been going right for the past few weeks. Well, at least things were going well for the rest of his family. Yet, while their worlds were looking on the bright side, his had been spiraling downward. It had only been a few weeks since his girlfriend had broken up with him. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing. Maybe it was time for him to start growing up. He had been quite impatient with his family lately and had inadvertently pulled back into himself. They had tried to reach out to him, but had given up after awhile. After all he had put them through over the past months, he didn't feel comfortable with burdening them any further.
The water was rising even higher. His fingers were numb and his arms were starting to cramp from his death grip. With every second that passed, he could feel his hold loosening. Maybe this was a good thing. The thought of dying scared him, though. Thoughts of his family flitted through his subconscious. No, I can't die. That would hurt them too much. Nikki and Derrick have been through enough. I have to hold on. He repeated this over and over. If not for me, for them. But he knew, that it was futile. There would be no one on the beach for another couple of hours. By then, he would be done for. Regret filled him. Too bad. Maybe, if I had another chance, I would do things differently. If only….
He was shivering violently now. So cold. Not much longer. Then it will be over. A strange sound broke through his reverie. Was someone calling to him? No, it was just his tired mind playing tricks on him. His strength was rapidly failing him. I can't do it. The end was near. That strange noise registered in his head again, but he chalked it up to the shock settling in. He was about to give up. I wish I could say goodbye. One more moment passed. A shuddering breath escaped him. He closed his eyes and let go. His final thoughts raced through his brain before the waters engulfed him. If I had one chance to tell them something…Anything….I'm so sorry. I love you all….
Well, that's all for now. I hope you liked it. Please let me know what you think of it so far. This is the first story I've written for this show, so please don't give me too hard of a time!
