PART TEN
Sam carried Lily, bridal style from the water.
He didn't know whether she was breathing or not.
He placed her gently on the sand.
His board was somewhere floating in the sea. At that moment he didn't really care.
Lily was all he cared about. Her face was a pale grey.
He brushed away her blonde hair and put his ear to her mouth and nose.
No breathing.
Now he panicked. He parted her lips open and prepared to do CPR, when Lily jumped into life.
She coughed up some sea water and breathed in as much air as she could into her lungs.
She lay back on the sand, slightly groaning, but not aware that Sam was looking at her tenderly through his blue eyes.
Now she was breathing, there was no need for Sam to perform CPR.
It still didn't stop him from pressing his lips to hers and kissing her like he'd been longing to, ever since he'd met her.

"Wow-eee; that was some concert bud!" Robby exclaimed as hey came staggering through the door after 11pm.
Jackson was running up to his room in flash. Eager to call Cindy, even though they'd only just parted company.
"I'm so tired right now… all I want to do is go to bed…" Miley moaned.
"Oh Miley, I almost forgot… I didn't see Lily at the concert tonight. She not well?" Robby asked.
"No, she probably didn't want to come, I wouldn't have wanted her to come anyway…" Miley said bitterly rubbing her temples.
"Why? What happened?"
"I don't wanna talk about dad, I just wanna go to bed…" Miley sighed as she went to her room to sleep.
