She hated graveyards. Always had. And yet, every week she found herself in one. Although she'd have to be quick today, for it was raining. She closed her eyes and tried to force away the memories that kept coming.
"Come on Rach! The waters fine!"
I grinned.
"No way Marco. I just washed my hair this morning!"
Cassie shrieked and ran down the shore line. Away from Jake, who was carrying a piece of seaweed.
"What is this?"
Ax was studying a rock pool.
"A bit of salt won't hurt you Rachel."
Tobias took on a sneaky grin and whispered something to Marco, who whispered something to Jake. Jake laughed.
"Guys, what are you planning?"
"Nothing Cassie."
Marco smiled sweetly. The three boys turned to face me.
"Guys."
There was warning in my voice.
"Oh Rachel."
Tobias sang.
I stood up.
"Don't even think about it."
Jake tried to keep a straight face.
"Don't think about what?"
Before I could run they grabbed me.
"Cassie help!"
Cassie laughed and shook her head.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Ax was confused.
I kicked and made threats.
"Put me down!"
"Don't think so Xena."
The next thing I knew I was in the salty water.
"I'll get you for this!"
Tobias grabbed my hand to help me to my feet, I pulled him under the waves with me.
He laughed.
Jake went back to harassing Cassie.
Ax kept studying his rock pool.
Marco went off to talk to some girl.
I looked at Tobias.
"That was not very nice."
He smiled.
"I know."
He kissed me.
"Was that nice?"
I grinned.
"Oh yeah."
She wiped away her tears. Her limp blonde hair was matted by the rain. Quickly, she placed the soggy roses next to the photo of the face she missed so dearly. "Until next time Tobias my love." She turned and left.
And still the memories came.
A/N: What do you think? I know it was written strangely, but I wanted to try something new.
