Author's Notes: That was quick wasn't it? Well, I don't really have anything elese to say so on with the chapter.


In A Moment
Chapter 2

"Ow," Val said as took off her shoe and rubbed her poor sore foot, "I hate these shoes!"

"Then why did you wear them?" Caitie asked as Val put her hated shoe back on, "And you know that since we're at the beach you can take your shoes off?"

"I let Brooke wear my commfortble ones for her date," Val explained as she took off her shoes and put her aching feet in the cool sand, "We should probably be heading back now since it's getting dark,"
"Yeah, we probably shouldn't torture Dawn anymore. Of course I don't she minds being with Jamie too much," Caitie said referring to the newest EMT who also happened to be Jamie's latest girlfriend.

"Are you okay with them going out?" Val asked knowing that Caitie had liked Jamie at one point and not knowing how her friend was handling Jamie's newest releionship.

"Yeah, I'm fine with it. Jamie and I are just friends and I'm happy for him," Caitie said and by that time they had reached the blanket where Tyler, Hank, Jamie, and Dawn were cleaning up.

"We thought that we would go over to my house and watch some videos. That okay with you guys?" Tyler, Val's boyfriend said, as he attempted to fold the blanket by himself. Val went over to Tyler and began to help him fold the blanket.

"I can't go," Dawn said as she shoke out a towel, "I have curfew in ten minutes,"

"I'll take you home," Jamie said smiling at Dawn and Val saw Caitie roll her eyes, she hated it when people got mushy.

"I can go," Val said feeling around in the sand for her watch that she had put there earlier, "Anybody seen my watch?"

"Uh," Tyler said reaching in his pocket, "I think I might have stepped on it. Is this it?" Tyler asked Val showing her the watch that had become victem to the warth (how do you spell that?) of his foot.

"Yeah, that's it," Val said taking the corpse of her watch with a sigh, while saying goodbye to Dawn and Jamie at the same time.

"How about you and Caitie go pick up the videos and Val and I will meet you at my house?" Tyler asked Hank as they began carrying things to the cars.

"Sure, that's fine with me. I don't know about Caitie through," Hank said.

"FIne with me," Caitie said. By that time everything was packed in the cars and then they said their goodbyes. Val didn't know it then, but it would be more than a month before she saw either of them again.

A/N: I love this story! Think I had a little too much fun with the watch part? Well, I'm trying to make this story a little light hearted so that's it's not all suspense and drama. Oh, by the way that picks up in the next chapter. Don't forget to review or send comments to starmindy@yahoo.com on your way out.
