August 27th 2015…

Yukie woke up in Becky's room and saw the orange haired woman.

"How stupid did I get?" Yukie asked when she saw her things in the room.

"Pretty damn stupid but drinking does that a lot. Finn messaged me, saying that you were upset with Mandy for helping Bryan." Becky explained, Yukie sitting up.

"Well, she blew me off. She promised me that we were having a night but thanks to Ashley throwing my expensive phone and breaking it, I could have called Mandy and ask if she was on her way. And now, I guess friends can have a change of mind and heart." Yukie explained.

"Bryan left and no one could find him. Left his phone, wallet… only took his ID and some money and it panicked his brother and cousin so most of us went looking for him. Mandy didn't intend to blow you off, she was worried that Bryan would get into trouble." Becky explained.

"Then call the police, Mandy and Bryan are not my problems anymore." Yukie responded.

"Police can't do much, not file a missing persons report or go searching until 48 hours later. Some of this country's laws are fucked up." Becky replied.

"If you're planning a search party, please count me out. I've already have a lot on my mind." Yukie responded.

"Don't need to, they're both here." Becky replied before Yukie headed to the restroom to go clean up.

Amanda opened her eyes, finding herself curled up next to Finn… his arms were around her, her left arm around his back and her left leg over his right one as her Samsung Galaxy Note 5 chimed and she picked it up to see a text from Dean.

'I found a room key… I take it you weren't thinking straight when you threw it?'

'I wasn't. I don't want to be pulled between them like a teddy bear children fight over.' Amanda replied.

'That analogy is true, Mandy.' Dean replied.

'As much as I don't want it to be, Dean.' Amanda responded.

'You're really upset.' Dean replied.

'Family should share at times but no, Yukie gets furious when I talk to anyone else and Ashley gets pissed off when I spend time with Finn.' Amanda responded.

'If it was about her, she wanted someone to talk to. She probably thought you blew everything off for Bryan.' Dean replied.

'I didn't mean to but no one could find him and Luke and Kota were going out of their minds.' Amanda responded.

'You need to destress, kid. Take your mind off everything for a bit. I'll get them to cool off.' Dean replied.

'Wear a cup, Yukie hits below the belt at times.' Amanda responded.

'I will. It's not like she's gonna kill me.' Dean replied.

Amanda put her phone on charge as Finn opened his eyes.

"I'm gonna get you away from here for a while, lass." Finn responded as they sat up before standing up.

Amanda changed into a white and black striped bikini and pulled on a white cover up over it as Finn changed into white and black swim shorts before putting sandals on.

"Sunscreen?" Finn responded, Amanda putting it in the bag.

"SPF 45. Towels?" Amanda replied, Finn finding the towels as Amanda put her sandals on.

"We need them, do we?" Finn responded.

"Yep. Okay, what else was I thinking?" Amanda replied before she saw Finn grab a jar of aloe gel. "Right, just in case the sunscreen doesn't prevent sunburn." She replied.

When they had grabbed whatever else they needed and ate, they ended up at the beach and made sure they had enough sunscreen on.

Setting her cover up aside, Amanda and Finn got into the water and Finn pulled her closer to him as the water soaked their skin and swimwear… but with the temperature nearly 100° as Providence was under an unusual heatwave this late in the summer, the cold ocean water felt good to them.

Walking around in the hotel, Dean saw Yukie.

"What do you want, Ambrose?" Yukie questioned after removing her headphones and watched him walking towards her.

"Just checking on ya, don't bite my head off." Dean responded, Yukie taking a deep breath before she grabbed her purse.

"I'm gonna go get a new phone, we can talk more on the way." Yukie replied before they left.

After getting all her information transferred to her new Samsung Galaxy S6, Yukie got a screen protector and she and Dean left Metro PCS.

"Fuck's sake, it's hot as hell out here!" Yukie responded as she tied her raven and teal ombre hair into a ponytail.

"It's summer but yeah, nearing 100° is the equivalent of hell weather." Dean replied as he saw a familiar rented Chevy Equinox at the nearby beach.

"Then let's get out of this hot weather." Yukie responded.

The two left in Yukie's rented Traverse and Dean switched the radio station.

"I'm gonna kill you for that later." Yukie responded.

"Oh, relax, you'll live longer." Dean replied as Mr. Mister's Broken Wings began to play.

Amanda and Finn got out of the ocean and were laughing.

"Why didn't you let me follow after that starfish?" Amanda asked as Finn helped her dry off.

"Because it was swimming deeper into the water and we as humans can only hold our breath underwater for so long, Darlin'." Finn replied as he dried his hair off and grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler and handed it to Amanda, who drank it.

"True. We should go scuba diving one day, see what it's like underwater." Amanda responded as Finn set the towel aside and House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals played from a nearby radio.

"Anything for you, Darlin'. It does sound fun." Finn replied.

The two hugged and knew they had to get back to the hotel soon… grabbing his IPhone 6, Finn saw a text from TJ.

'Ash flipped out at Yukie, didn't she?'

'Yes. She broke Yukie's phone, which led to miscommunication and fighting between Yukie and Mandy.' Finn replied.

'I'll talk to her, you keep Mandy safe. I know it was Yukie who left those bruises on her back last time.' TJ responded.

Finn put his phone away as Amanda put her sandals and cover up back on before they grabbed their things and headed back to the hotel.

Walking back in, they were immediately spotted by Sami… and he stood up and walked over.

"Hey Sami." Amanda responded.

"You look much more relaxed." Sami replied.

"We spent a few hours at the beach, unwinding." Finn responded.

"That's great. Have you heard from Yukie?" Sami questioned.

"Not since last night." Amanda replied, Sami knowing about the fight.

"I really wish she hadn't lashed out at you, kiddo. It just wasn't feeling like it used to between her and me so we ended things. I was hoping she and I could still be friends but… hoping and good intentions don't always work." Sami responded at the same time Hiroki walked into the hotel.

'You're right about that.' Hiroki thought.

He hated seeing what the recent chaos was doing to people he cared about.
