Summary: The tenth anniversary of Scott's parents' death is imminent. Who helps him through? (Way better than summary- I hope!)
*~*~*~*~* *Warning* This chapter is very angsty! I should have really put that as one of the genres! It's basically Scott's thoughts before Jean gets to him which will be next chap! Sorry! It also contains a lot about the ocean, hence the title! I may update the next chap at the same time, so you are not too depressed! Next chap will be much happier! Enjoy!

Scott took a deep breath, he could taste the salt in the air. He was sitting on the shore, only inches away from the water's edge. Around him the waves thundered down onto the shore, sending spray up into the air. The effect was beautiful, as the rainbows, formed by the light reflecting of the water, glittered all around. The gulls swooped up and down, and their calls echoed around the bay. The clouds above rumbled threateningly, but he did not move.
The ocean, for Scott at least, was one of the most relaxing places to be. The waves crashed against the shore in what seemed to be Earth's most natural rhythm, and the sea breeze raised the goose pimples on his arms, not enough to be cold but just enough to make him feel alive. All his troubles were washed away with the retreating water, and he sat, drawing idle patterns in the sand with his fingers. He hadn't been near the sea voluntarily for 10 years, it reminded him too much of his parents, and the happy times they had had by it. (A/N This is set before Adrift!)
One of his clearest memories of his mother, was her love for the water, especially the sea. Every chance she got, she would be by it, or in it, as swimming came as naturally to her as walking. In fact he remembered his father teasing her one day on the beach, saying she was more fish than human. His mother had pushed him under, and that had sparked a huge water fight that lasted till lunch.
He tried to picture them as they had been that day. His mother's cheeks flushed with happiness and exertion, her hair tangled and damp from the spray she threw up, his father's eyes full of love as he looked at her. Instead the picture of them on the plane came to the top of his mind. Sorrow was written on their faces.
*Go away* he shouted inwardly *I don't want to remember you like that.* He pushed the image away, and was suprised when it was replaced by an image of Jean, her beautiful hair let down loose behind her head, and her emerald eyes sparkling. Her image, and the happiness it produced, did not last long, as his mother pushed her way to the top of his thoughts again.
His mother had made sure he and Alex appreciated the sea and its beauty from a very young age. He could remember countless occasions, where he had sat just as he did now, except his mother's arms would be round his waist, and he would lean into her slightly, so their shadows blended together, in one blurred image on the sand. A single tear slid down his cheek, he could almost feel her sitting next to him, an oasis of calm amongst the craziness of the world. He had always preferred to sit and watch the sea, rather than be in it, revelling in the unique sense of calm it had given him. Alex however, had loved to be in it, to feel it around him. He still surfed, Scott thought it brought him closer to the parents he could only vaguely remember.
"Why did you have to die?" He shouted aloud, angry with his parents for leaving him and Alex, making him learn to be an adult at ten years old. Other parents abused their children, hit them, shouted at them, yet they survived to do it another day. His parents while not perfect had always been the best they could and he loved them.
Tears dripped freely down his face, as he sobbed for what he had once taken for granted, and he let his pent up emotions go.
