Chapter 16

"Are you sure about this Kyle?" Jenn asked hesitantly.

Kyle smiled lightly as he took her hand, the two of them making their way down the beach to where the others were. Jenn was fidgeting with her denim shorts and white tank-top, reaching down to adjust her red sandals. Kyle looked down at his own clothes briefly, a pair of light blue swim trunks, simple sandals and a white T-shirt before looking back at Jenn.

"I don't know, but I'm sure it'll be worth it, we'll be with everyone else so, yeah." He replied.

Jenn smiled. "Well, if nothing else, we'll at least know we have people at our back, huh?"

Kyle nodded at that, agreeing with her. Ever since that shocking incident at the locker room, the couple had been harassed almost daily by more texts that contained uncomfortable sexual imagery in Kyle's case and crass insults, mainly about her body, in Jenn's case. It was now clear that someone was stalking both of them, but with different motives. For Kyle the stalker seemed to have a creepy obsessive 'love' while for Jenn she harboured deep jealousy and hatred. After a while of trying to deal with it they had finally told their friends who had instantly rallied around them and then, with the weekend approaching, Eric had suggested the group get together for a trip to the beach to try and help calm Kyle and Jenn's nerves and to cheer them up. Everybody had agreed and so Kyle and Jenn agreed to go, hopeful they could at least find some peace here.

They soon reached all the others who were all chatting and, it appeared, waiting for them. They too had all dressed up for the beach, each of the boys wearing swim trunks like Kyle, in Jamie's case black ones along with similar coloured sandals and a white T-shirt, the other boys all wore sandals too. Sean and Eric both wore T-shirt's as well, Sean's grey along with dark blue trunks and Eric's yellow, along with white trunks. Meanwhile Adam wore black trunks with a red tank-top, Harv grey trunks and a white tank-top and Ellery red and blue trunks with a black tank-top. Finally, hand linked with Jamie and smiling warmly at the newly arrived couple, was Lyla, clad in denim short shorts and a black tank-top with sandals.

"Hey guys, you made, ready for some fun?" She asked them cheerfully.

Jenn grinned. "You bet, it'll be good to finally let off steam and unwind."

The others all nodded and soon they were making the final adjustments to their clothes, all removing their sandals while the boys pulled off their T-shirts or tank-tops. The girls also removed their outer clothing, drawing Kyle and Jamie's gaze with Jenn's black sexy bikini or Lyla's equally sexy purple bikini respectively.

"Okay, let's get started then." Kyle remarked.

Sean nodded. "Yeah, swimming race anyone?"

Lyla scoffed. "Yeah, after the first race, first one in the water gets a head start."

With that she took off, the others laughed as they followed her.

After many eventful swimming races and a few games of volleyball as well as taking time to just relax and enjoy the sun, as well as eat of course, the group were all presently just sitting back, relaxed, dried off and fully dressed again as the sun was setting and it was getting cooler. Jenn sat next to Kyle on one of the beach towels, her head resting on his shoulder.

"Today was wonderful Kyle, I...I'm just glad we were able to do this and to not have to worry about things for once." She said.

Kyle smiled widely, putting his arm around her. "I agree, it's been a wonderful time, no hassle, no problems, just us and our friends..."

They both knew things would never be that simple, that the stalker was still our there somewhere, but just for a day they had been at peace, their nerves finally calmed and no longer stretched thin. They just hoped that they'd figure out who this stalker was and put a stop to them before something else happened. Trying to seek a distraction from that for now however, Jenn looked around, her gaze moving to Jamie and Lyla, lying on their beach towel, both cuddled up close together.

"Jamie and Lyla certainly make a sweet couple." She remarked. "I'm glad they finally got together."

"Me too, he had a crush on her for ages. Sean and I kept trying to encourage him to just ask her out." Kyle admitted.

"I'm glad he did, it's so nice seeing them together."

Kyle couldn't help but agree. "Yeah, she's pretty good for him, he's slowly becoming more confident."

Jenn grinned. "Their relationship is really helping Lyla too, she's certainly been looking a lot less tired than usual, I think Jamie may actually be helping her through her insomnia."

They both smiled widely at that, it was certainly something to hope for. With that hope still lingering they enjoyed this peaceful time, glad for the fun and especially glad for their friends who had proven themselves more than willing to be there for them through troubled times.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
