Chapter 4

Justin's POV

I'm bored out of my mind the only good thing about this boring place is the beach they have and that my friends are coming up next week then I hear Tom (My new step-father) talking on the phone so I listen in it's not like Im spying or anything then I hear him pick up the phone and say" Hello Yes it's him" Then I hear him shout into the phone but I can't hear what the other person is saying "WHAT" he says then I could hear the phone drop and he is rushing out the door to his car then my mom comes out "Hey honey where is Tom" she says .. I guess she wasn't there to hear why he left " Umm he just left IDK why though" then I hear her phone ringing "Hi Tom What OMG I'll be right there" I hear my mom say "What happened " "His daughter is in the hospital" she says "Why" I say not that I care anyway "IDK he won't tell me any details we have to go down there" she says as she grabs her car keys and heads to her car with me trailing right behind her

(At the Hospital)

Bethany's POV

"Mom"..I say faintly

"She's on her way kiddo" says Holt who I forgot was there the whole way to the hospital

"Ok and where's Alana"

"At home with her mom she didn't know what was going to happen to you and got freaked out so her mom took her home after we left the beach"

"Ooh ok well if she gets a chance she can come and visit"

"I know she will sooner or later dear"

"OK"

Then my mom walks in

"Ooh honey I was so scared once Noah told me what happened"

"Thanks and how did he find out"

"He had a friend by the beach at that time and was told what happened he is with Sara right now they are on their way"

"Ok that's good and I need water"

Then the doctor comes in

"You can't have any right now sorry but you have to regain all the blood you lost and drinking water won't help"

"Ok" I say while Im thinking being in the hospitail sucks

I then turn to my mom

"Is dad coming?"

"Yeah he should be here any-but gets cut off by my dad walking in the room with his fiancé and her son waiting in the lobby

"Hey kiddo" he says as he sits down on my bedside

"Hi" I say quietly

"It's all my fault I shouldn't have let you go today"

"It's ok you didn't know"

"Well we have to go feed the dog and then I'm going to come back in the morning ok"

"OK" I say as he leaves

"Hey someone is waiting for you outside he really wants to see you"

"OK" I say as my mom opens the door and leaves the room

"Hey Bethany"

"Keoki! What are you doing here" I say as he comes into my room and sits down by me

"I heard about your accident and had to come see you"

"Aww that's so sweet!"

"Yeah anyway I have to tell you something that I have been wanting to say for a long time" he says

"Um ok go ahead"

"I really like you and I don't just feel sorry for you now because of the attack I have liked you for a long time and didn't know how to tell you then I heard you were in a shark attack and I didn't know if you were gonna make it or not once they told me you lost your arm so I just had to tell you before anything worse might happen to you and frankly I don't care if you lost your arm it doesn't matter if you have one arm or two you are still the same sweet, driven ,competitive , strong , and amazing surfing girl I have known since I was ten"

"Aww I like you too but we might have to wait until I get out of here to date"

"That's fine I don't mind waiting"

"Ok well I should get some rest it's been a long day"

"Ok bye" he says quietly as he squeezes my hand then as he gets up he kisses my check then leaves

I smile to myself knowing that at least I know some people who like me for who I am with one arm or two it didn't matter now I knew that if I made it this far I could survive anything god or mother nature throws at me then I fall asleep
