"Hey." Scott said slipping onto the log beside me.
"Hey." I replied quietly.
"I've missed this place." Scott sighed.
"You haven't been here?"
"Not since the day you left."
"When Madi, you and I came."
"To say our good-byes..."
Flashback
"You guys are leaving me." Scott cried. He was 15 and completely attached to his sisters.
"Not forever." Madi corrected.
"You are going to Regena London. Who's even heard of Regena?" Liz cried.
"Ya, Liz is only going to be and hour away." Scott agreed.
"I'm sorry."
"Aren't you going to miss us?" Liz asked tearing up.
"Of course. I'll miss Newport just like I miss Chicago and most of all I'll miss you guys. And I'll miss this place..." Madi trailed off.
"This place solved all our problems." Liz sniffed.
"Don't do this. I can't handle two blubbering girls." Scott scolded.
"We're not blubbering." Madi sobbed.
"We'll still see each other." Scott said smiling.
"That fake smile doesn't work on us." Liz reminded.
"What fake smile?" Scott asked incredulously.
"That one." Madi said pointing at his mouth.
"Oh, right..." Scott said smiling, for real this time.
"I really will miss this place." Liz agreed looking out over the ocean from her spot on the log.
"Ya, the driftwood, the sand, the water, the pollution." Scott joked.
"You know who you remind me of?" Madi asked him.
"Who?" Scott and Liz asked.
"Uncle Seth." Madi said tilting her head towards him.
"I don't look like Uncle Seth." Scott said.
"Your personality." Liz jumped in.
"Exactly." Madi agreed.
"Really?" Scott asked.
"Definitely." The twins agreed.
"Cool." Scott smiled.
"We should head back." Madi said quietly.
"Back where?" Liz asked.
"My goodbye party." Madi said with a small voice.
"Our goodbye party." Liz agreed with an even smaller voice.
"Guys come on. Be happy." Chris said trying to cheer them up.
"Aren't you sad?" They asked.
"Of course I am. But I don't dwell on the bad, I think about the good." Scott said.
"Grandpa always says to prepare for the worst so you're never disappointed." Madi reminded.
"But Grandpa Jimmy always says to dwell on the good and let the bad befall when it will." Liz contradicted.
"And I say to hell with all that let's just have fun." Scott said shrugging his shoulders, "Now who's coming with me?"
"I'm there." Liz smiled stepping next to Scott.
"Sure whatever." Madi sighed following slowly after watching the sunset as they walked away from her favorite place in the world.
End flashback
Liz was crying again.
"Prepare for the worst so that you're never disappointed." Scott sighed tears in his eyes.
"Always dwell on the good and let the bad befall when it will." Liz sighed drying her tears.
"I say to hell with all this and let's go have fun." Scott said suddenly at he stood up.
"What?" Liz asked looking up at him.
"Let's go have fun. Be prepared for the worst but dwell on the good all at the same time." Scott suggested.
"But..."
"Come on sis...the arcade?"
"Sure." Liz smiled.
"It will be good for both of us." Scott agreed.
"Ya, ya it will." Liz smiled standing up.
"I'll call dad." Scott informed.
"Oh."
"I told him I would if I found you."
"Okay."
"One sec."
"Sure."
(AT THE BEACH, SCOTT'S POV)
"Hey dad?" I asked into the phone.
"Ya Scott." Dad replied.
"I found her."
"Where?"
"Exactly where I thought."
"When will you be back?"
"A couple of hours."
"What?"
"I'm trying to cheer her up."
"Oh."
"I'll call you when we're on our way."
"Okay son."
"Later dad."
"Tell Lizbit I love her."
"I will."
"Bye."
"Later." I said hanging up the phone.
"Liz, let's go." I said to Liz who was looking out at the water.
"What? Oh, I'm coming."
"Dad says he loves you."
"Okay."
"And he does you know, we all do."
"I know."
"So be happy."
"I will be."
"When?"
"When Grandpa comes back."
"That's not going to happen."
"I know."
"So when will you really be happy?"
"When I want to be."
"Arcade?"
"Please."
"Okay."
"Thanks."
"Don't thank me."
"I won't."
"Hey."
"You told me not to."
"I was being polite."
"You?"
"Right..."
"Let's go." Liz said running off.
"Wait up!" I called chasing after her.
