Rescuing Me

Chapter 1- "Good Day"

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my characters!

A/N: I am changing a few things around like ages, including Taylor's. He's just too old for Lily so I'm gonna take it down a few years! It's such different thinking when you are older(I was 16 when I first started this) and have a child. I'm also going back and fixing any mistakes I see. Just wanted to let you readers know!

It's August 15th 2009.

I was lying in bed when I heard something hitting my window. It sounded like a rock being thrown at it. I got up and went to my window and looked out.

I smiled when I saw the face of my best friend, Caleb. His blonde hair was surprisingly not very messy this morning.

"Come on Lily! The waves are perfect for surfing! They were calling our name..Saying "Lily, Caleb come surf me!"Caleb smiled up at me.

"I'll be down in a second! Let me get my bathing suit on and grab my surfboard from the garage." I said ducking back in my window. I grabbed my bathing suit and ran in the bathroom. I quickly changed and walked to my mom's door. I knocked quietly. "Mom?"

I heard her floorboards creaking, meaning she was about to open the door. "Yes?" She asked sleepily. I forgot it was about 6am. But then again I wasn't supposed to go anywhere without telling her since eleven years ago.

"I'm going to go with Caleb down to the beach. I just wanted to make sure it's okay." I said.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around me. "Of course it's okay. You two have done that for years, how about no more asking at least for things with Caleb?" My mom smiled.

"Awesome! Well I'm going to go!" I kissed my mom's cheek and ran downstairs. I slipped on my flip flops and ran out the door.

I squealed as Caleb grabbed me around my waist and spun me in the air. "Let me go Caleb!" I said laughing.

He let me down and smiled at me. "How's Lily Marie this August morning?" He asked using my first and middle name.

"I'm fine as long as you stop using that name Caleb Ryan!" I said giving him an innocent smile.

He just rolled his eyes and grabbed my hands and we went running towards the beach with our surf boards.

…...

When we got to the beach I saw that Adam Clayson, the guy I hate, was there. I groaned at seeing him, Caleb touched my shoulder gently, silently telling me he saw him.

Adam did not think girls should surf. He thinks they should just stick to cheer-leading or playing volleyball. He did everything he could to make sure I wouldn't. He knocked me off of my surfboard plenty of times, cut in front of me when I was surfing. Insulted me anytime I did something.

I looked to the ground, minding my own business as I walked past him with Caleb. "Hey Smith...Going to try to do a man's sport again?!" Adam laughed at me. I just ignored him.

"What are you silent now?!" Adam asked laughing along with his friends. I just kept walking, Caleb's hands were tightening into fists. I put my hand on his shoulder and I looked at him. I gave him a small smile and he smiled back.

"Oh Caleb can I borrow your girlfriend tonight? I need some sex tonight and I hear she's putting it out!" Aaron, Adam's brother shouted. Caleb stopped.

"Caleb. Don't worry about it. We both know it's not true. Okay?" I whispered in his ear. Trying to calm him down. Caleb had a temper when people insulted me.

He just shook his head and started walking again. I sighed in relief. We finally reached the water and I smiled. I loved the water. And Caleb.

I sighed as I got on the surfboard and started paddling out. Caleb has been my best friend since I moved here 11 years ago and he was everything to me.

I mean I loved him. But only as a best friend, but after we had moved here he had helped me to adjust to my life. After we both had gotten old enough to understand what 'kidnapping' meant Caleb wouldn't leave me alone, he made sure I was safe.

He was really protective of me. Whenever I dated a guy, Caleb made sure he treated me right. Most of my boyfriends would always ask me why he was so protective. I never would tell them what happened. Most of them would break up with me because I wouldn't tell them.

But I knew what would happen if I did tell them. They would start 'walking on egg shells' around me. As some people put it. Then eventually we would break up. It was all the same.

"Lily!" I heard Caleb shout, just as I got slammed by a big wave. I felt the board slip out from under me and I got shoved to the ocean floor. I quickly pushed my feet against the floor and got to the surface. But as soon as I did I got slammed again... I rolled along the ocean floor, water going up my nose and in my mouth.

After what seemed like forever I stood up and could breath. I tried to open my eyes but they burned a little. I felt hands on my shoulders. "It's me Caleb. I'm going to lead you to the beach." He said and I felt us walk out of the water. Then I felt a towel being pressed on my face.

I took the towel off and I looked at Caleb. "Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

"Yes I'm fine. My nose and throat burns but really I'm fine." I told him. He looked relieved. "I wasn't paying attention. I should have been."

"It's okay. But I think you broke your board." He said frowning. Dang it!

"Aw man. I don't have the money to buy a new one." I said kicking the sand. He grabbed his board.

"Let's go back to your house. You have to get ready for your first day of training today anyways." Caleb said putting his arm around my shoulder. Then we walked back towards my house.

…...

It was about 7am now. I had to be at the police training center at 7:30. I had gotten out of the shower and gotten dressed and was putting my hair in a pony tail.

"Lily? You ready yet?" I heard my mom yell. "It's going to take us about twenty minutes to get there and you don't want to be late!"

"Okay! I'm ready now, I'm coming down." I shouted back. I grabbed my 'Search and Rescue Trainee' vest and my to be dog's collar and leash and vest, I put them in my bag.

I was so excited. After being kidnapped and my mom not being able to pay the ransom, I was rescued by a man. A man who was with his search and rescue dog. I had been inspired by them and had talked to my mom's friend who's husband was a police officer.

They decided that they would bring me on(for the first time) as a 'trainee'. That means I get my own dog to train and we'll get trained together. They'll put us on fake hunts for people and work with us everyday to help us be a team.

Today we would be going to a German Shepherd breeding farm and I would pick out a puppy. My mom was excited to get a puppy. But I warned her that this was a work dog, not a pet. She gave me a look that said 'oh like you won't spoil the puppy either.'.

Which I knew I would. I smiled and walked out of my bedroom. I ran down the stairs with my bag. My mom smiled at me. "Excited?" She asked as she opened the front door.

I nodded. "Yep. I can't wait." I said walking to the car and getting in the passenger seat. I had my license but we only could afford one car right now so my mom drove a lot.

…...

(20 Minutes Later)

I met up with my mom's friend's husband, Dan. "Hi Dan." I said and he shook my hand.

"You ready for training?" He smiled.

"Yes sir." I said mock saluting him.

"Good. 'Cause we're going to work you into the ground." He teased. I rolled my eyes.

My mom laughed at us. "Well Dan, I'm leaving her in your hands. Don't lose her and bring her home in one piece. I'm going to meet up with Clara." My mom said. Clara was Dan's wife. I nodded and hugged my mom.

"Bye." I waved as she got in the car. Dan looked at me.

"Okay I have to go in and get my partner Taylor and he'll help us with picking out a dog for you. He's on the search and rescue team." Dan said. I nodded. I waited while he walked into the station.

Then a few minutes later I heard him walking out with someone. I looked up to a really cute guy. He had a shaved head, dark blue eyes and the shirt he wore showed off a toned body. He also had loose jeans on.

"Lily this is Taylor. He's the most recently joined member of the team. He's twenty one, and he has his own dog named Bow." Dan introduced us. I put out my hand for him to shake.

"It's good to meet you Taylor." I greeted him.

"It's great to meet you Lily. Dan's told me so much about you and how you've wanted to join our team." He smiled. Oh goodness. He had a gorgeous smile.

"Oh yeah. I've wanted to join the Search and Rescue team for years. I'm so excited I finally can." I smiled back.

"Well that's good. It's always good to meet someone who really loves to do it." He said. Dan cleared his throat, and gave me a warning look. I looked at him questioningly. He shook his head.

"Well we better get going to the Anderson's place so we can pick out a dog for you." Dan said walking towards one of the police cars. I followed him. I got in the back, Taylor sat up front.

30 minutes later we arrived at a place with dogs everywhere.

A man that looked to be in his late 30's greeted us. "Hi Dan, Taylor. Back for another pup?" He smiled. Then he looked at me. "Oh who's this?"

"This is Lily Smith. She's joining the team as a trainee. We're here to get her a puppy." Dan said.

Mr. Anderson smiled. "Hi Lily. I'm so glad your joining the team and that you've come here for a puppy." He said kindly.

"Me too. I've heard good things from Dan about your dogs and I really am excited to be getting a dog." I smiled back at him.

"Well are you looking for a young puppy? An slightly older dog? Or an adult dog?" He asked looking at me. I looked at Taylor and Dan.

"We're going to go with a young puppy. Maybe towards five or so months old?" Taylor said.

"Sure. They're right over here, we have 3 new litters. Boy or girl?" Mr. Anderson looked at me questioningly.

"Girl?" I said hesitantly looking at Taylor and Dan.

"That's fine. I mean it's your puppy after all." Dan said.

"Okay, then I definitely want a girl." I said smiling.

Mr. Anderson led us over to a big dog run with 6 slightly older puppies in it. He opened the gate for me. I walked in and I looked at the litter of puppies who were all jumping on me. I saw one I liked. It was almost all black with tan legs and 2 tan stripes on it's chest and face. Hopefully it was a girl.

I got down on the ground by the puppy and looked under it(sorry for calling the puppy an 'it'). It was a female. I smiled as she licked my face. "I want this one." I said turning around to face them. Mr. Anderson smiled, and Dan and Taylor joined him.

"She's a been of a runt but she's the most curious, I think and the most adventurous." Mr. Anderson said.

"Well that's what I'm looking for." I smiled. Mr. Anderson let me back out. "Hold her for a minute Dan?"

He gently grabbed her from me and held her. I dug the money from my pocket for her. "How much do you want for her?" I asked.

Mr. Anderson seemed to think about it for a moment. "Well since she's a female and it's for the police department I'll take 150 for her." He said smiling. Phew. I thought. That's good 'cause I only had 160.

I counted out the money and handed it to him. "Let's go back to my office so I can write out the paperwork for her sale." Mr. Anderson said and I followed him, grabbing my puppy on the way.

…...

15 minutes later

We were getting into the car now and I had put on the puppy's collar and leash. She was sitting quietly beside me looking around at the car and she sniffed at me again.

I was trying to come up with names for her but I guess I would have to wait until I got to know her.

I was just so happy today. It was a good day and I couldn't wait to start working with her and working with the Search and Rescue team. I sat back with her in my lap and sighed.

I had a lot to look forward to...

But how long would it last?

…...

A/N; Sorry it's taken me so long to post this! I hope everyone is still interested! I hope you liked this chapter and I'll try to update more often.
