Heather sighed dreamily as she opened her front door and walked in the house, stomping a little bit of the dampness out of her boots, and taking her coat off and hanging it up on the coat rack. She walked into the living room to see her parents sitting on the couch with Jennifer sitting across from them. Her father, David stood up and looked her dead in the eye, "Where have you been!?" He yelled as he clenched his fist.
Heather was a little taken aback by how he was talking to her but then she spotted Jennifer sitting down with an angry expression on her face, "Why does it matter?" Heather asked softly.
"It matters because you think you can ditch the date I worked so hard to set up for you." Jennifer yelled.
Heather's anger matched her face as she clenched her fist and angrily stomped to Jennifer, "I freaking told you I didn't want to date him, but no you think you know what is best for me. Newsflash you selfish brat you don't, I have been nice to you the entire evening even defending you but all you have done is scold me about a date you set up. So get it through your thick skull and understand that I don't want to date, does that mean there is something wrong with me, no. Stop trying to act like you know me when you don't even care enough to see my feelings. I am sick and tired of you Jennifer, you want me to crack then fine screw you." Heather snapped as Jennifer backed up, she had never seen Heather so mad and angry and the fact that she said that startled her, Heather never said anything like that.
"How dare you talk to my daughter like that?" David snapped.
"Oh your daughter, ok now I see where I stand with you, you are not my dad and you will never be so quit acting like that, sometimes I wish I had just been put in an orphanage instead of deal with you, you selfish freaking jerk douche bag" Heather snapped back harshly.
"I am your father you ugly cow" David snapped.
"Oh and fathers call their children ugly, yeah right so get it through your head you dimwit, I don't care what you think anymore because guess what a couple of weeks ago you said you didn't want me to have a boyfriend, next thing I know you approve of Jennifer getting me one, what the heck is the matter with you, you horrible excuse for a father," Heather screamed as she glared at David.
"Sometimes I wish I never saved you from those woods, because I don't want to have someone who likes to oppose me on everything." David yelled.
"You know what I wish that to then I would be dead and guess what you would have not been so freaking bipolar you old selfish bat" Heather spat.
"Yeah well you should have died." David yelled angrily.
"David" Ashley yelled shocked.
Heather covered up her hurt, "I don't care and I am out of here screw you David and I hate you." Heather said as she left the room.
"Heather get back here" Ashley yelled.
Heather just continued to walk ignoring Ashley, "Heather get over here right now" David yelled but was cut off buy Heather slamming the door after grabbing her car keys and other stuff as she walked to the car and drove away.
Heather clenched her jaw and her knuckles grew white around the steering wheel, she continued to drive and ended up driving over to Alison's, she was about to get out but figure that her parents would end up coming here first so she went to a nearby hotel. Mentally she decided that she would grab her stuff later on that night. She parked the car at a hotel parking lot and went inside.
"Can I have a room?" Heather asked calmly as the receptionists nodded and gave her the keys once she gave him the money and she walked to the fifth floor and opened up her room door. She opened the door and walked in to see two rooms, the bedroom had a king sized bed with two nightstands and a closet with a bathroom and a balcony and the other room was like a living room and kitchen combo. It was a cream like fashion and Heather took off her boots before jumping on the bed and locking the windows and closing the curtains.
Heather felt so frustrated she opened her phone and saw the calls pouring in from her family. She rolled her eyes and closed her phone throwing it on the bed before she turned on the TV. She waited until three in the morning and then went back to get her stuff which took up four suitcases. She went back into her room and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
Heather's eye lids fluttered open and she glanced around not recognizing her surroundings before she remembered the fight with her father and walking out on him. Perhaps it wasn't rash but she would wait for a bit before she even wanted to talk to him again or her so called family again.
She decided that she should just go hang out with Brandon, so she called him, "Morning Heather" Brandon said from the phone.
"Morning Brandon" Heather said softly.
"So what's up?" Brandon asked.
"I was wondering if we could hang out today." Heather said as she twirled her hair around her finger.
"Sure, where do you want to go?" Brandon asked.
"Maybe the beach?" Heather suggested thoughtfully.
"Thank gosh you aren't the type of girl to want to go to the mall" Brandon said sounding relieved.
"Hey" Heather said, "How could you accuse me of being like that?" Heather said teasingly.
"Whatever fire girl, where do you want to meet up?" Brandon asked.
"Maybe we could meet up at the boardwalk" Heather suggested.
"Yeah sure, hey do you mind if Taylor, Carter, Laura, and Ryan come?" Brandon asked after a minute.
"Not at all" heather said, "Well I got to get ready, meet you there" She said getting up from the bed after glancing at the clock seeing the time 11:39 flash before her eyes.
"Bye" Brandon said.
"Bye" Heather said and hung up before going into the closet to find her swim suit, she grabbed two of them and brought them out to the bed laying them both down on the bed.
One of them was cyan blue with red corals on it and ad a small pearl necklace to match; the other was a red bikini with a fire theme on it. She held the blue one up to her body which highlighted her eyes but the fire one spoke more of her hair. She finally decide on the blue one and put on the strapless bikini with the pearl necklace and put her hair up into a ponytail and put on some white shorts and a loose red shirt with the corner tied.
She packed another bag that had an orange t-shirt with light blue shorts with some red converses and sun block with a towel and some money in her bag with her phone.
Heather walked out of the hotel room and locked the door before she walked to the car that was up front and drove to the beach. Heather walked into the boardwalk and to one of the stands and grabbed a large order of cheesy fries.
"Heather" Heather looked up and saw the other five coming to her, Laura was the one who called her name, "Hey girl" Laura said once they were within earing range to each other, she was wearing a white one shoulder bikini with light blue shorts.
"Hey guys" Heather said as she saw Brandon try to sneak a fry.
She swatted his hand away and he pouted, "Oh come on you can't put fries in front of me and not expect me to steal something." He said throwing his hands up.
"Some people resist mate." Carter pointed out with Taylor nodding next to him; she had on a yellow bikini that had green tye dye prints on it.
"Are we going to hit those waves or what?" Ryan asked as he looked annoyed.
Laura smacked him upside the head and he rubbed his head while the other people there just laughed, "Ok let's go hit the waves" Taylor said.
They all walked up to the beach and finally saw a spot after Heather tried to avoid the seagulls aiming to steal her fries. "Back off seagull, I have no problem smacking you" Heather said as she smacked a seagull that tried to get her fries.
"If Amelia was here she would flip a table seeing you do that Heather" Laura said with a giggle as Taylor nodded next to her.
"Who is Amelia?" Heather asked curiously.
The others all exchanged glances, faintly deciding not to tell Heather about where they are really from. "Amy is one of our friends from where we used to live, she looks like this." Taylor said holding up her phone to a picture of a girl with long black hair that had orange tips and dark blue eyes with pale skin. She was wearing a light grey t-shirt with light blue jeans; she had a friendly smile etched onto her pale face.
"She looks really nice, why would she flip a table if I smacked a seagull from steeling my cheesy fries?" Heather asked.
"Amelia really loves animals." Carter explained.
"Oh" Heather said, "Hey look there is the perfect spot." Heather pointed to an empty area near the waves that was a little bit close to the water but not close enough to get soaked.
"That look's perfect" Brandon said and Ryan and Carter agreed with a nod.
They all sat out their towels and put up the rainbow colored umbrella with the cooler near them under the umbrella and they also set up some chairs under the umbrella, the boys rushed to the waves and the girls laid down to talk. "So how are things going with you girls?" Heather asked as she looked at the other two girls.
"Well we have been good, I guess, we just have been a little stressed with all that's going on so the beach sounded perfect" Laura shrugged as she took a fry.
"So how have you been Heather?" Taylor asked changing the subject before Heather could ask why they were stressed.
Heather opened her mouth to say that she was good but closed it thinking about how she really felt, should she tell them what has been going on with her? "I don't really know" Heather said uncomfortably.
Laura took her hand, "What do you mean?" She asked softly.
Heather sighed, "It has just been really chaotic for a while now." Heather said, she saw the girls lean forward for a better explanation, "Ok well I have been having weird nightmares for a while now and I blacked out once" heather said thinking of her nightmares and when she didn't remember what happened after she left the home coming dance, "Me and my adoptive family have been fighting and really tense lately, I don't understand what is going on with me. It is really confusing and frustrating, my father actually let me walk away last night after I got back but then I got to a hotel and I didn't dream which is weird."
"Maybe you are overthinking everything" Taylor suggested after a moment of glancing at Laura who slightly shook her head in a no manner.
"Ok so subject change, where are the other girls?" Heather asked.
"Natalie and Willow went on a double date with Liam and Jeremiah." Laura lied, in honesty they had been back in the magic dimensions searching for a way to finish the mission so they didn't get too attached to Heather.
"Oh so what do you girls want to do?" Heather asked.
"We should play truth or dare" Laura suggested with a squeal.
"Oh no" Taylor muttered under her breath.
"Ok so since you suggested it truth or dare Laurie." Heather asked with a mischievous glint in her eye.
Laura pouted but answered anyway, "Dare" She said.
"I dare you to prank phone call the principal." Heather said as Laura's mouth shot open in shock.
"Fine" Laura muttered, as she pulled out her phone and *67 it before entering the principals number and calling.
"Hello?" A male voice asked from the phone.
"Hello I am Stacy and I am doing a survey. Can I ask you a couple of questions?" Laura asked in a British accent.
"Sure?" He said in a questioning manner.
"Ok question number 1 how many my little pony stickers have you ever bought for yourself?" Laura asked in her fake voice.
"What? None!" He said sounding greatly offended.
"How many stickers are you planning on buying today?" Laura asked.
"Get it through you thick beeping head I don't have anything to do with my little pony or twilight sparkle" He growled and the girls opened their mouths in shock that their principal just cursed.
"How do you know their names?" Laura asked sounding unfazed by his tone.
"Ok I am hanging up now." He said.
"Wait!" Laura yelled.
"What?" he asked annoyed.
"Would you like the chi fry rise?" Laura asked, and then looked at her phone in shock, "He just hung up on me, how rude." Laura said as she giggled.
Heather and Taylor looked at each other before they both burst out laughing, "That was hilarious" Heather managed to say through her giggles.
"Just you watch I will get you back" Laura threatened. Heather immediately shut her mouth but Taylor continued to laugh. "Taylor since you think this is so funny truth or dare?" Laura asked.
Taylor stared open mouthed at Laura as Heather stifled her giggle, "Truth" She said with a blush.
"How far have you and Cartie gone?" Laura asked with a smirk.
Taylor blushed deeper, as Heather stared with a sympathetic look at Taylor, "We may have gone to making out" She finally said quietly.
"Nothing else?" Laura teased leaning closer.
"Nope" Taylor said defiantly.
"Ok then" Laura leaned back as Taylor gulped and then looked at Heather with a withering glare.
"Hey don't look at me like that, it is her fault she has such a dirty mind." Heather said with a shrug.
"Heather truth or dare?" Taylor asked.
"Truth" Heather said.
"How much do you like Brandon?" Taylor asked.
Heather opened her mouth in shock and gaped at Taylor who smiled innocently, "I don't like him" She said not making any eye contact.
"You are avoiding eye contact meaning you do like my brother" Laura said as Taylor nodded in satisfaction.
Heather blushed more as the other two girls giggled, "Hey we're at the beach why don't we go swim?" Heather suggested standing up.
"Ok" Taylor said removing her cover up light green and yellow sundress to reveal her bikini.
Laura removed her outfit along with Heather as the girls walked into the water and Heather bumped into Todd.
"You look hot babe" Todd said as he checked her out disgusting heather that slapped him and walked past him.
"Oh and btw I hate you, you dumb douche bag" heather said as she walked away with the other two girls.
"You don't curse?" Laura asked with a raised eye brow.
Heather shook her head as she said, "Nope"
"If that dude so much as looked at me I would punch him so hard that he would have to go to the hospital." Laura said.
"Laura you do not need to be so violent." Taylor scolded as Laura shrugged.
"Whatever" Laura said as she splashed water at Taylor but she dodged and it hit Heather instead.
"Laura!" Heather screamed as she splashed water at Laura who started to splash water back but it hit Taylor, hence began the water fight.
"Dang you girls must be tired." Carter stated from behind them as Laura turned to scowl at him. "Hey don't you scowl at me, you know I am right"
Laura huffed some profanities under her breath and the other girls laughed and Heather hit her upside the head for cursing and the boys chuckled. "Hey we should go shopping." Laura said once they all got out of the water.
"No, anything but shopping" Brandon said.
"How about we split up, so girls can go shopping and the boys can go to the rides or whatever you want to do." Taylor suggested.
"Ok" Carter said with a smile.
"But let's just hope you do not buy the whole store" Heather gave a glance at Laura who pouted in response.
"I don't always do that" She said as she pouted.
'Laura it is not good to lie to yourself." Taylor said.
Laura huffed as they all laughed and went their separate ways. They walked into the first store they saw and Laura saw the Henna tattoo drawings, "Hey we should get one" Laura suggested.
The other two shrugged and walked with Laura up to the girl who was sitting there waiting for the next costumer. "Can I help you?" She asked.
"Yes we would like Henna tattoos" Laura said.
"Ok" She said as she grabbed a book, "Which one?" She asked.
Laura looked at them and then saw her favorite which was a very well designed sun that said sunlight in a flag like ribbon that swirled in the center of the sun. "Can I have that one" She said pointing to it.
The girl nodded and Heather and Taylor walked away as the girl drew on Laura, after fifteen minutes Taylor went to get hers which was a star like thing that had a web like circle in the center. After Taylor was done Heather walked up and skimmed through the pages and finally found the one.
It was a beautiful design heart that had a vine design on it with the ribbon in the middle that swirled and said peace and love. The girl drew it on her, "I love your highlights, are they natural?" She asked.
Heather nodded with a smile, "They're natural and thank you, you are really good at drawing."
"Thank you and you are done." The girl said as she drew the final letter and smiled at Heather.
"Thanks, here is the money I owe you" Heather said as she handed her twenty dollars and got up to go meet up with the girls.
"Wow these look really pretty." Laura said.
"Yeah they do and they are Henna tattoos that wash off, usually hey are called a Henn and are actually from the Arabic and-" Taylor was about to continue but was cut off by Laura giving her a look to say too technical.
"So you girls want to go get a dress or something or perhaps a necklace?" Heather suggested after noticing the tension between the blonde and the orange haired girl.
"Sure how about a necklace?" Laura said after a moment as they walked out and to the next store which contained tons of jewelry.
Heather looked around to look for the dream catchers; she finally found them and walked over picking up the necklace that was on a silver chain and had a medium sized black dream catcher on it that was like a tear drop.
"Wow that is pretty what is that?" Laura asked as she walked over.
Taylor opened her mouth to speak but Heather cut her off, "No need for you to explain Taylor, I know what it is, it's a dream catcher Laura, they are really pretty and really well designed almost like a Henna tattoo, they are rumored to catch dreams and wish good luck" Heather explained as she grabbed the set of earring to match.
They walked to the counter with the other girls holding up two pieces of jewelry; Taylor had a charm bracelet and a set of earrings that had emeralds on it with a gold chain like thing in the lobe. Laura had a circular locket that was a gold color with amber earrings.
Suddenly the music from Laura's phone cut off their talking as they walked down the boardwalk. She answered as Ryan's voice poured into the phone, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LAURA!?" He could be heard yelling as Laura moved the phone away rubbing her ear before she pulled it back to her ear.
"What are you talking about Ryan?" She asked and then listened for a moment before her eyes filled with anger, "You never said anything about a curfew" she said, "I don't care about school and neither do you, oh come on Ryan quit acting like a kid, oh I am the one being bipolar, you're the one mad at me for nothing and bursting my ear drums." She said after she listened to him talk.
Heather snatched the phone away from her, "Ryan we are going to meet you at the beach spot ok now calm your hormones boy, bye Felicia" She said and hung up.
"Did you just call my boyfriend Felicia?" Laura said as she laughed and Taylor grinned.
"That was hilarious; I would pay money to see his face." Taylor said.
The girls all pictured his face and burst out laughing as they walked to the beach, "Hey guys" Heather called out when she saw them siting on the beach towel.
"There you guys are, wait why does my sister have a tattoo, Laura!?" Brandon asked when he saw the Henna tattoo.
"One they are not tattoos they're not going to stay forever they wash off after a while so calm your hormones." Heather sad rolling her eyes.
Ryan and Carter chuckled as Brandon shot hem a death glare, "Come on girls we are going home and that is final" Brandon scowled as he dragged Heather with him to the car and she picked up her stuff before he dragged her off.
"Who died and made you king?" Heather asked as she scoffed lightly.
Brandon gave her a death glare, of which she threw right back, "Seriously you said I had hormones" He said as he chuckled.
"I wonder what face Ryan made once I said that to him." Heather said.
"Oh I was there and his face was hilarious." Brandon chuckled lightly, "I mean seriously I thought the guy could kill you and you weren't even in the same room as him"
"Even Laura laughed at him." Heather said with a giggle as they both laughed.
"Well that is going to be a moment I shall never forget" Brandon said as hey both got into his car.
"Wait I have my car, we should drive in my car and let the other's drive in yours" Heather sad as they both stepped out and ran to her car and got in, with Brandon in the driving seat.
"Dang and I was really hoping that I could drop you off." Brandon said as Heather lightly punched him in the shoulder.
"Dang are you the flirt" Heather teased.
"Oh whatever let me just turn on the music" Brandon said as he flicked on the radio, at first it blasted Justin Bieber but then blasted some Nirvana after Brandon switched the radio.
"Smells like Teen Spirit"

The song ended as they drove in silence and Heather parked the car at his apartment, "Well I guess this is good bye, see you tomorrow" Heather said as she turned to face him, to see him staring at her.
He leaned closer and rubbed his fingers on her cheek and titled her eyes up to meet his as she unconsciously leaned closer and their lips met.
Heather was surprised at the feeling in her heart and soon she kissed him back and they were kissing as she put her hands around his neck and he put his hands on her waist. They soon pulled apart and Brandon pulled away and turned to walk out of the car.
"Bye Heather" He said as he left and Heather had a bad feeling in her stomach that she would not see him for a while. She leaned against her seat and felt her lips that tingled, and she was shocked that Brandon said good bye like he was leaving. Was he about to leave her?
Brandon closed the door and leaned against it, wondering why he had just did that to her, they had found the girl that he was betrothed to, he walked into the living room where his friend sat and Alison sat in the center of the room.
