Okay, sorry it's been like two months :P

Max POV

You know when you spend the night somewhere that isn't your usual place and you awake with a start thinking "oh my God where the hell am I?" that's how I woke up when I heard a buzzing noise next to my head.

I looked around and registered. Beach. Fire. Friends. Right, I spent the night at the beach. I squinted in the early morning light, at least I think early morning. It was most likely some time after ten. I looked at my phone which was now covered in sand. Oops.

Someone was calling. I looked at the caller ID. It said Dylan. I sighed and answered it groggily.

"Hello?" I got up and walked away from the rest of the group so I wouldn't wake everyone up.

"Hey." He sounded annoyed.

"What's up?" I asked standing with my feet in the freezing water. As cold as the water was, it felt nice.

"Where are you?" He asked skipping right over my question.

"Beach." I said. Trying to pass on the "You just woke me up can you please hang up so I can go to bed" message.

"Beach?" He repeated.

"Beach." I repeated back.

"I thought you went yesterday…"

"We did. We spent the night." I explained.

"Who's 'we?'" He asked.

"Everyone who went." Now I was getting annoyed.

"And that would be…?" He persisted.

I sighed "Me, Iggy, Ella, J.J., Sam, and Fang." I paused slightly before saying Fang, I knew Dylan wouldn't like that.

"Why didn't you mention you guys planed on spending the night?"

"Because it wasn't planned, Sam just popped out sleeping bags and asked if we wanted to stay." I was really peeved now. He went to say more but I spoke first. "I gotta go, I need to help with breakfast." Which was a total lie, everyone was still fast asleep.

"Fine. See you later?" He asked still sounding annoyed.

"Yeah. Sure." I said blatantly.

"Alright. Bye. Love you." He said.

"Bye." I took the phone off my ear and stared at it before hanging up.

I took a few deep breaths and stared out at the pretty lake. The sun had risen, which was too bad because this place was gorgeous when the sun came up over the lake. Finally I realized my toes had been turned numb completely and decided to go lay back down.

I slid my feet into my sleeping bag, well Sam's technically, but whatever. I rolled over and saw Ella looking at me, worried.

"That's not good." She said.

"What?" I asked, even though I knew exactly what she was talking about.

"You know. You just don't want to admit it." She said solemnly and rolled over, and fell asleep.

I looked at the clear sky for a few minutes then buried my head under the sleeping bag and tried to fall back asleep. I felt tears swell up in my eyes, but they never fell.

Who knows how long it was. But I woke up to the smell of something amazing. Or maybe it was just the fact that I was starving. For all I know Iggy was being cooked and I would've just gone right along thinking it was some form of beef. But I doubt anyone would cook Iggy.

I threw the cover off my head and looked up at the fire to see something with food settled over the fire.

"She lives!" Sam called. They laughed. I scowled.

"How long have I been out?" I asked rubbing a tangled mess of hair out of my face.

"A while." Ella said with amusement, but the look she gave me said something else.

"Cool, what's cooking?" I asked.

"Eggs, sausage." Iggy said poking at the mesh of food.

"Yummy." I said licking my lips. It didn't look very appetizing, more like some mixed yellow stuff and something that looked like Lincoln Logs. Despite the look, it smelt amazing.

"Damn, mom and dad got lucky with you." Ella stated.

"How?" I looked at her.

"You'll eat anything." She said with amazement.

"So will you." Iggy laughed.

"Must be genetics." Fang guessed.

"Whatever it is, I'm okay with it." I smiled, forgetting about earlier this morning.

"Okay, grab plates." Iggy ordered. I picked up a paper plate and stuck it directly in front of Iggy to fill.

"Jeez, calm down. You'll get your food." He said as he served me some. He gave an equal amount to everyone (although I think he may have given himself a bit more, but he made them, I guess he deserves it)

We inhaled our food, it was a mix between really gross to watch and really amusing. But who cares?

This is us. We are we. No one can stop that. No matter how gross it may be.

I'll try to update tomorrow. Midterms start then so I get out of school at noon, I can try to update one more before studying for the next days tests. Sorry this chapter is so short, next one will be longer.
