Disclaimer: Don't own shit, except Emily and Jake. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
A/N: All right... Well thanks for the reviews. All right, yes I know little things. The little things, the little things, they always bring us down. Sorry, popped into my head. Next chapter. ENJOY!
"Bradin, you didn't think this was a date, did you?" I asked. I stepped backwards. So many things we're going through my head. He stepped closer.
"Yeah. I like you and I thought you liked me." Bradin said trying to get closer.
"Bradin, you have a girlfriend. I can't just fill in for her. I don't want to be a rebound. I don't want to be your girlfriend till she gets back." I stepped away again.
"Of course not. You won't be a rebound. My aunt doesn't even approve of Sarah." He grabbed my arm and took me to the beach. I guess we were a little loud.
"So, that's why you like me Bray? Because your aunt approves of me." I started walking away from him.
"No, it's more than that. I know we've only known each other for a day." Wow, he actually said a day. "But, I want to get to know you more." He followed me.
"Well, lets just be friends then. I don't know why your rushing things. If you want a girlfriend right now go with someone you have known longer than me because I'm not ready." And with that I left. When I went to sleep that night all I could think of is Bradin. I kept telling myself I don't like him, but what if I do.
The next day I just walked around town. I actually knew where everything was by then. Whenever I saw Bradin my stomach did that somersault thing. I spent the whole day alone. When it was around 4 I went to the beach. I brought my guitar and my songbook it had all the lyrics to the songs I've written.
I already had MY spot. It had a big ass rock and you had a great view of the ocean. I remember back in Hawaii where I had my spot. Whenever I had a bad day I would go there. My friends always knew where I was and wouldn't bother me. I miss home. I wish I were there right now. Playa Linda, it's ok, but I guess I have to get used to it.
The next day was Sunday. I did the same thing as I did yesterday except when Sarina called and told me what time she would be coming in. So, Monday I picked Sarina up and it was about 12.
"So, this is Playa Linda. It has a suburban feel to it." Sarina said, as we we're walking in town. I just shook my head.
"So, what's going on in Hawaii? Any guys in your future yet?" I asked. We started walking toward the beach and Bradin was there. Ah, fuck it! Gosh, this place is kind of small so I have to deal with it.
"Nope. You?" She asked.
"Uh, Don't think so." We sat down near the ocean.
"What do you mean you don't think so?" She looked at me like I was psycho.
"What? Gosh, what can I say? I met a guy and he likes me and I just don't know, ok."
"He's just not Jake." She looked at me with sympathy.
"It's not that, ok, maybe it is." I was confused.
"All this time he was pretending, so much for your happy ending." Sarina sang.
"I thought you hated Avril." I said.
"In this case, that song fits you." I laughed. Ok, you obviously know now that this Jake guy and I we're together. Let me just sing part of the song.
"You we're everything, everything that I wanted. We we're meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost. All the memories so close to me just fade away. All this time you we're pretending so much for my happy ending." We both sang. We laughed at each other.
"Emily, it's probably different." Sarina said.
"Right."
"So whose this guy that likes you?" Sarina was looking around for any hot guys. I just shook my head in disbelief. This girl never gives up. She tries to hook me up with people.
"Over there." I pointed to where Bradin was surfing at the time. I had my surfboard so I grabbed it. So did Sarina. We paddled to where Bradin was.
"Hey!" Bradin said.
"Hey." I said back. "This is my friend, Sarina."
"Hola!" Sarina said joyfully. Bradin and I laughed.
"So, you surf. I didn't know that." He was talking to me.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me." A wave started coming so I decided to catch it. I paddled and then I stood up. It felt so good to surf again, though it was nothing compared to Hawaii. I paddled back to Sarina and Bradin.
"Nice." Bradin said. I smiled. Then some guy just paddled next to Bradin.
"So Bradin, aren't you lucky with the ladies." He looked at us. Conceited much?
"Shut up Tanner. Why don't you go somewhere else?"
"Fine, I will." He smiled and left.
"Hey, he's cute." Sarina said.
"Don't bother with him. He's a jerk." Bradin said.
"Yeah, Sarina!" I pushed her and she fell in the water. "Oh, shit. Bradin lets paddle back to shore."
"Ok." I was paddling so freakin' fast. I knew Sarina would catch up and try to hit me. We finally got to shore and Sarina was a few feet behind us.
"Save me, Bradin." I hid behind Bradin as Sarina came up to us.
"Emily! I swear to bob! I'm gonna kick your buttocks." Sarina yelled.
"I'm sorry. I'm done. I swear." I said.
"Fine!" She started walking off with her board.
"Hey! Where are you going?" I yelled at her. She looked like she was headed to my house.
"I'm leaving you two alone so you can bond!" Then she just ran. That stupid fucker!
"I need to talk to you anyways." Bradin said. We both sat down.
"Alright, since I started living here drama-ville central. It sucks." I said.
"Drama with me of course. My parents died and Sarah is well psycho. Then there's you." He paused.
"Me?" He smiled.
"We'll I know that your different."
"Everyone's different, Bradin. I have to go." I didn't really want to get into this situation right now. I stood up.
"Wait!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me down. He pulled me into a deep kiss. After a minute or two I broke it.
"I'm sorry." I left.
A/N: Hey guys! Sorry, it's short. I won't be updating soon because I'm starting school tomorrow. So. Yeah. High school, not that excited. Well yeah. Review Please!
