"Okay, so I'll meet you in ten minutes?" Nikki asked. She was on the phone with her crush, Cameron. "Okay, bye." She put the phone back on the receiver. She walked up the stairs to her bedroom and got ready to meet him. Cameron had some big news to tell her. After brushing her hair, Nikki ran around the house looking for her Aunt Ava. Instead she found Johnny. 'Good enough,' she thought to herself. "Hey Johnny." He was in his room, lying on his bed with his eyes shut.

"Hmm?" he hmmed.

"Is it okay if I go meet Cameron," she asked.

"Did you check with your aunt?" he said.

"No, that's why I came to you."

"Sure, you can go. I'll tell Ava."

"Okay, thanks," she said dashing for the door. Cameron asked Nikki to meet him near the lighthouse towards the end of the beach. 'Wonder if he will ask me out.' She drew nearer to the lighthouse, growing more excited.

The boy was sitting on the stairs to them, looking at some kids playing in the sand. "Hey Cameron," she called. He looked over and jogged towards her. Nikki's stomach twisted at the sight of the cut on his right cheek.

"Oh my god, Cameron." It looked like it had just been made.

"My dad hit me last night while he was drunk. He doesn't do this often. I didn't know who else to tell," he said. Nikki smiled. She hugged him tightly. He rested his head on top of Nikki's who was against his chest.

"Come on, let's go for a walk," she said. He nodded.

Bradin leaned back from the kiss he had just planted on Sara's lips. They were outside of the ice cream shop and had just finished their sundaes. Sara smiled.

"So, what do you wanna do now?" Bradin asked.

"Lets go surfing," Sara replied.

"Er . . . okay," he said. They left the ice cream shop and chased each other down the street to the beach.

"I gotta go get my stuff. Meet me back here in like ten minutes," she said.

"Okay." She turned on her heal a began jogging down the beach to her house. Meanwhile, Bradin was heading in the opposite direction for his own.

On the way he stumbled across a couple heading towards the door to the house. It was Cameron and Nikki.

"Nikki!" Bradin shouted. Nikki turned.

"Oh, Bradin," she gulped. She looked at Cameron. Cameron seemed relaxed about Bradin seeing his face.

"Cameron?" Bradin said confronting him. Bradin grabbed Cameron's chin and angled his head so he could see it better. "What the hell?"

"It's fine," Cameron said, "it's just a scratch."

Bradin grabbed him by the shoulder and hauled him up the stairs to the house. "No it's not." He opened the door to see Ava and Johnny sitting at the table and Susanna by the sink making smoothies. "Aunt Ava!"

"Yeah Bradin?" she answered. He walked forward. Cameron was looking out the window, showing the cheek that was not cut. Bradin grabbed his chin again and turned it.

"Oh my god. Cameron? What happened?" she asked getting to her feet. She examined the cut closely.

"Nothing, I'm fine," he said.

"Cameron . . . tell them," Nikki said. She was standing by the door. 'She's right,' he said.

"My father hit me," he said under his breath. Susanna and Ava gasped. Bradin's eyes widened.

"Oh my god. We have to take you to the hospital," Ava said.

"No I'm fine," he said.

"You have to go," said Johnny, "that cut is gonna need stitches."

"No it's fine," he said.

"Cameron," Nikki said, "go!" Cameron dropped his head.

"Okay."

"I'll go get the car," Johnny said.

"Susanna, can you call Martha's mother and ask if Derrick can stay there for a little bit longer?" Ava asked. Susanna nodded. "Bradin, come with us. Nikki, stay with Susanna."

"I wanna come," Nikki said.

"Fine," she said turning to Bradin, "you stay here and wait for Susanna." Bradin nodded.

"Me and him will be over in a little bit," Susanna said. Ava turned and followed Nikki, Cameron and Johnny out the door to the car.
