I have a bad case of writer's block…and since no one has reviewed in a while tear I'm not sure if I should continue this story. Please review to let me know if I should or shouldn't.

PS. Sorry if this chapter is a little crappy.

Chapter 13

-Fade Out to Nikki, Josh, Jay, and Erika watching the ambulance pull away-

"We gotta get to the hospital. I'm gonna lock up the shop. I'll meet you guys at the house. Then, we'll drive to the hospital." He jogged up the slight hill to the shop, while everyone else headed back toward the house to break the news to Johnny, Susannah, and Derrick. Twenty minutes later, Jay, Erika, Susannah, Johnny, Nikki, Callie, Josh, and Derrick all entered the hospital. They quickly found Ava pacing around the waiting room.

"Ava! How is he?" Jay asked as everyone gathered into the waiting room. Ava turned around as she heard Jay's voice.

"Oh, thank god you're all here. He's gonna be just fine. They managed to get all the water that he swallowed out and he has a broken wrist. The cut on his side has stopped bleeding and it'll heal in a couple of weeks. He's in recovery wing right now. I'm still waiting for the doctor." Ava relieved everyone's fears.

At the moment, a man with graying hair, with a stethoscope around his neck came up to Ava. "Are you Ava Gregory?" he inquired, while looking at his clipboard.

"Yes, I am. How is he?" Ava asked anxiously.

He smiled, to try and reassure Ava. "Right now, he's awake. He sustained a wrist injury, but it will not be life-threatening. The cut on his side will be sore for a couple of weeks. Judging from the amount of water we got out of him, he was under the water for quite a while, but luckily he didn't pass out. He was lucky enough to be able to pull himself up onto the reef. I recommend no strenuous activity or surfing for a while."

"Thank god, he's going to be alright." Ava hugged Nikki and Derrick to comfort them.

"I have some questions for him, regarding the incident. But you may go in to see him."

"Okay, what kind of questions?" Ava wondered, releasing Nikki and Derrick.

"Well, he is an experienced surfer, right?" Ava nodded. "This shouldn't have happened then. When you usually wipe out, you're able to get back onto your feet within a couple of seconds. It looks like it wasn't an accident." The doctor concluded. Ava opened her mouth a bit and looked at Nikki and Derrick's questioning faces. Callie's face turned suddenly pale as she sat down.

-Fade Out to Callie entering Bradin's room-

Callie softly shut the door behind her and put her hands in her front pockets, not sure as to what to say.

"Is that you, Callie?" Bradin muttered faintly, opening his eyes a tiny bit. He reached out for her hand and she took it.

"How are you?" Callie inquired, worried to death.

Bradin chortled quietly. "I feel like crap." Callie let out a small laugh. She couldn't meet his eyes. "What's the matter, Callie?" Bradin wondered after a couple of minutes' of silence.

Callie hesitated for a second. "What happened out on the waves?"

"Well, I had just pulled off a 180 and then some punk comes up and he knocks me off my board. He drags my surfboard, while I'm upside down under the water. He reaches the reef and leaves me there. I manage to pull myself up onto the reef and then I blacked out and the next thing I remember is being lifted into the ambulance. The police are still trying to figure out who it could be." Bradin explained the whole "accident".

"Did you get a glimpse of him at all?" Callie knew it was Tanner or one of his friends.

"No, but I do know he was wearing a black suit." Bradin tried hard to remember something else but couldn't.

"I have to confess something." Callie blurted out. Bradin had a puzzled look on his face.

"What is it, Callie?"

Callie inhaled deeply and let it out little by little. "Yesterday, do you remember how Tanner and his friends came up to me?" Bradin swallowed and nodded. "Well, before you came up, he said to me, 'You better tell your boyfriend to quit the surf team or he's gonna get it.'" Bradin gaped at her and gulped.

"So, because you didn't tell me, I almost drowned?" Bradin asked incredulously.

Callie shook her head. "Bradin, it's not like that. I mean, I was going to tell you, but I didn't think Tanner would pull something like this."

Bradin's lips formed a grim straight line and he looked away from her and sighed heavily. "You're right. It's not your fault. I'm sorry."

"I'm so sorry, Bradin. I was scared and I didn't know what to do." Bradin licked his lips and nodded again. "So, are you going to report Tanner?"

"Well, I don't know. I mean, I wanna get back at him. I could've been seriously hurt. I should just let the police take care of it, though." Bradin decided.

"Do you want me to get Officer Williams? He was here earlier because Doctor Cranzer suspected that it wasn't an accident." Callie felt terrible enough and wanted to make it up to Bradin.

"Sure, I'll file a report. Tanner will finally learn his lesson." Bradin grinned, as Callie went to fetch Officer Williams.

-Fade Out to Nikki and Josh strolling along the beach-

Josh took Nikki's hand and she smiled at him. "Man, that sure was scary for a minute." Nikki nodded, feeling still a bit overwhelmed. "That must have brought back some memories about your parents," Josh continued, then silently kicking himself for bringing that up. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that," he added quickly. Nikki still didn't have the courage to tell him what had happened to them.

She shook her head slightly and smiled a bit. They stopped walking. "It's okay." She looked at the waves crashing upon the shoreline as the wind whipped her hair back. "All they did was try and save our town," Nikki began, keeping her eyes on the sunset and ocean, "from the river flooding, and they…," Nikki broke down and Josh pulled her into an embrace.

"Shhh…you don't have to tell me about it," Josh soothed her, as Nikki calmed down.

"I'm sorry, it's just…I thought I was going to lose Bradin today, and I was never so scared in my life. I mean, I couldn't take it, if I lost him or Derrick." Nikki felt herself starting ramble, so she stopped.

"It's okay, you don't have to explain to me," Josh reassured her. He let go of her and continued walking. "Oh crap! I promised Aunt Chloe that I would be home early today. I'm sorry, Nikki, but I gotta jet." He gave her a peck on the cheek and ran off.

She continued her stroll on the beach, thinking about the day's events. Suddenly, a familiar voice broke into her reveries. "Nikki!" She turned around to see Cameron trying to catch up to her.

"Oh, hey Cam," Nikki replied, a bit agitated that she was happy to see him. "What's up?" she tried to act casual.

"Oh, nothing much. I was meaning to talk to you about something." Nikki tensed up and they sat down on the sand. "I know it's not really my business to tell you this, but," Cameron paused for a second. Nikki watched him intently. "Well, the other day I saw Josh making out with another girl." Nikki hastily stood up.

"What?" she half-screamed at Cameron, as he too stood up.

"I, I saw him kissing this girl on the beach a couple of days ago early in the morning." Cameron confessed. "I don't like to rat out on a friend, but you're also my friend and I don't want you to get hurt." Cameron wet his dry lips as he waited for Nikki's reaction.

"I don't believe you!" Nikki responded as she crossed her arms across her chest. She stood there indignantly, not meeting his eyes.

"Nikki. I know what I saw. I saw him kissing another girl and it sure as hell wasn't you." Cameron flared his nostrils in anger, trying to get Nikki to believe him.

"Josh is not a cheater. I know him." Nikki's eyes became watery and she willed herself not to cry.

Cameron slowly placed his hand on her shoulder. "Nikki, I know this is hard for you to accept, but I just want to warn you about him. He may seem like a great guy, but looks can be deceiving." By now, Nikki couldn't contain her emotions and the waterworks started.

Cameron subtly grabbed and embraced her. "Cameron, you're the only true guy I can trust." He kept his arms wrapped around her waist as he held her tighter and smiled to himself.

Hope you liked it…please review. Anyways, I can't please all the fans of Nikki/Cameron or Nikki/Josh, or Simon/Ava or Ava/Johnny, but I will try my best. Thanks Everyone!
