A bad Windy day
It was late Saturday morning when Delia finally crawled out of bed. She was supposed to be downstairs on the couch but left during the night. She grabbed her crutches and carefully hobbled downstairs. As she entered the kitchen she walked in on Collin and Jimena. They didn't hear her as they were wrapped in each other's arms in a long passionate kiss. Delia smiled and then cleared her throat to let them know she was there. She startled them and they jumped.
"Sorry" Delia said. "I was just getting some cereal. I should be out of your way."
"No don't be silly Delia" Jimena said. "I'm sorry I didn't hear you. Do you need help getting breakfast?"
"No I'm fine" Delia said. "It's just a bowl of cereal" she laughed.
"How'd you sleep?" Collin asked.
"Umm ok I guess" she shrugged. Delia tried to get the cupboard door open. It was to high. She usually jumped on the counter but couldn't now because of her ankle. She reached for the cabinet but couldn't get it. Jimena laughed.
"Are you sure you don't need help?" she asked
"Yes" Delia said quickly. "I'll just get some toast" she hobbled over to the drawer. Jimena looked at her suspiciously then at Collin. He just shrugged it off. Delia took the toast and tried to reach for the toaster. It was to far back on the counter. She got frustrated. Collin pushed the toaster closer. Delia sighed and went into the family room. Jimena and Collin followed knowing her frustration. Jimena sat down next to her.
"Delia it's ok to ask for help" she said softly.
"I'm not helpless" she said.
"No you're injured" Collin said. "Just let us help out."
Delia cracked a smile. "Ok" she said.
"Dad's coming home tomorrow" Collin said turning on the T.V.
"Really? What time?" she asked.
"Late morning. And umm Delia you know about our secret. We don't tell dad."
"I know, I know you have like told me a thousand times" Delia said rolling her eyes.
"What happened to the couch?" Collin asked.
"I'm sorry I couldn't sleep Wally was making tons of noises"
"Delia you know your not supposed to use the stairs" Collin said.
"Sorry I won't" she replied." "I'm going to get dressed down here then.
"Ok well Serena, Stanton, you, me, and Jimena are going to the beach for a picnic later so wear something warm. It's a little windy out." Delia smiled. "Ok Collin whatever you say" she joked.
Later that Day
Delia sat down on the blanket. She had her foot wrapped in a blanket because she couldn't put a shoe on. She watched the surfers catch some huge waves. It was cold outside but they didn't care. Serena sat down next to her and handed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"Thanks" she said. Delia grabbed her crutches and tried to stand up. She started to walk but the sand wasn't flat enough so she almost fell. She sat back down and laughed.
"What's so funny?" Serena asked.
"I can't even walk" Delia sighed.
Serena laughed.
"Do you mind if Stanton and I take a walk?" she asked Delia. "Collin and Jimena should be back soon.
"No problem" Delia said. She was enjoying watching the surfers. Delia sat back in her chair and took in the smell of the salty ocean. She had never felt this peaceful before. Delia laid down and tried to take a nap.
She was awoken by the tide coming in. The waves surrounded her and she was soaked. Delia enjoyed this. She looked at her watch and figured her brother and sister had been gone for about an hour and half now.
"Some picnic" she muttered. She grabbed her crutches and tried to stand up. The cold ocean water stung her ankle. She stood up but her crutches sunk in the sand.
"Dang" she said. She looked around and saw no sign of Serena or Collin.
"Can't get any worse" she thought positively. The picnic was ruined, the blanket was all wet and she was shivering. It was a windy day out too. A surfer spotted her and rode a wave in to where she was.
"Hey I think you should move now the tide's coming in" he said. Delia looked at him.
"I would I just can't exactly stand. I hurt my ankle and I can't find my brother or sister. We were supposed to be on a family picnic but they went for a walk" Delia explained the situation.
"I'm Drew" the surfer said and shook her hand.
"Hi I'm Delia"
"Are you Collins sister?" Drew asked.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" she asked.
"Oh I surf with him sometimes and well you look like him. I thought I saw him earlier but I don't know where he went. Here let me help you" he picked up Delia and took the wet blanket off her foot.
"Ow" he said.
"Yeah ow" she replied.
"Well your brother or sister can't be to far away."
"Thanks for helping me Drew. You didn't have too."
"Well I wasn't going to leave you there" he laughed.
"They did" Delia thought. She knew they had there own lives but she was freezing. "Maybe I'm to much of a hassle" she thought. Delia sighed.
"You ok?" Drew asked.
"Oh yeah I'm just cold" she said.
"Well let me take you to my car and I can get you a blanket I have a spare shirt if you want to change in my car" he said.
"Thanks" Delia smiled already knowing she was going to really like Drew.
"As they approached the car" Delia saw that Collins van was no longer in the parking lot. Her heart was in her throat.
"They left" she whispered to herself.
"What?" Drew asked.
"Umm my brother" her voice was shaky trying to fight back tears. "He might of thought that Serena and Stanton would take me home so I think they left. The van is gone."
Drew looked at her with concern in his eyes.
"I'll take you home" he said.
