Chapter 2

Three days later the gang plus Joe went down to the camping spot where Simmo would take them all the time for comps and experiencing 'the great outdoors' as he would say.

Fly, Heath, Edge, Anna and Joe wanted to go for a bush walk, while Matt, Perri and Bec wanted to go surfing on a dangerous reef break nearby.

Perri P.O.V

Ok this is horrible to admit, but I still have feelings for Matt. I'm still hopelessly in love with him. I hate having to make all those cutting remarks, I know it hurts him.

But if I was given a chance to make things right, I would grab it faster than the speed of light. And I never let go.

End of P.O.V

"Hey Bec, do you wanna go out first, since you've surfed here before?" asked Matt, who was always cautious after what happened a few years ago

Flashback

After he and Perri broke up, he needed some space. He just drove to the nearest break and went out. Riding a massive wave, Matt seemed invincible. But even the invincible can become unstuck sometimes. Out of the blue, a massive rock appeared. He swerved his board to avoid it, but it was too late. He and his board crashed into it, and Matt's world went black. He had woken up to find he had a broken leg and had had a severe concussion. It took a lot of courage to get back out, he in the end he did it.

End of flashback

"Sure. But there's nothing to be worried about, this place is perfectly safe, except the reef below" replied Bec

Bec headed out straight away, and Matt walked over to where Perri was standing

"Look, Perri, I just wanted to let you know that I don't hate you. Can we still be friends? Please?" said Matt, almost pleading

"Ok first, I don't hate you either. And secondly, sure I miss us being friends. In fact I still..." Perri stopped suddenly

"You still what? Perri?"

Perri didn't reply, just pointed in the direction of the rocks at the bottom of the cliff face. She could just make out a purple figure lying on the rocks, motionless.

She grabbed Matt's arm, and ran towards the water, with her board. Matt followed, doing the same.

It was a five minute paddle over to who they thought was Bec, who had worn her purple rashie, the one she wore at Solar Blue. If she had drowned, she could of been dead by the time they reached her. To their relief, she wasn't dead, just not moving.

"Bec?! Are you ok?" asked Perri, who was trying not to imagine the worst

There was no reply, just a moan.

Matt ran over and checked her pulse, which was pretty normal, a little higher than usual, but normal.

"One of us needs to go back there and get help" said Matt

"I'll go. Just hold her head still and don't let her get up, whatever you do" said Perri, turning her back and walking towards the ocean, with her board.

"Wait. Perri, before you didn't get to finish your sentence. You said you still..you still what?"

Perri walked over to were Matt was sitting and kissed him, long and hard. To her suprise, he didn't pull away, and instead he put one hand around her neck. As they pulled away, they stared and smiled at each other

"Take good care of her, I'll be back as soon as I can." said Perri, and went back into the ocean.

"I will!" he called after her

He smiled to himself. No way was he going to let anything happen to Bec. He promised Perri. He wasn't going to let her down, ever again.

When Perri got to the campsite, no one was back from the bush walk. She couldn't get any signal on her phone either. If only Matt was here. He would think of some ingenious idea that would save Bec

But all Perri could do was either wait for the others or go back to Matt. She knew that the others wouldn't be back for another hour, so she paddled back over to Matt and Bec. All this time she was thinking, hoping, wishing that Bec wasn't going to become a paraplegic and quadriplegic. That would just be awful.

She got on the rocks and walked over. When she got there Matt stood up and walked over to her. He put his arm around her waist, and leaned in. Perri closed the distance, and pressed her lips up against Matt's.

They couldn't face Bec. Perri started sobbing and Matt held her hand. Out if all the things that could of bright them closer, why this? They stared out at the ocean, Bec's home.

And now she would never go back out again.

What went wrong while Matt was with Bec?
