Chapter 14

-Fade out to Bradin, Callie and Officer Williams in Bradin's hospital room-

"So, Callie. You're saying that yesterday afternoon Tanner and a bunch of his friends came up to you. You were lying on the beach alone and Tanner tells you to tell Bradin to quit the surf team or he's gonna get it." Officer Williams confirms as he jots it down on his notepad. Callie nods.

"Bradin. Has Tanner and his friends bothered you before? Does he have any reason for attacking you?" Officer Williams continued with his questions.

Bradin was still lying in the bed and he adjusted himself to lay against the pillow. "Well, there was this one time where we got into a fight over a girl. After that, we were just rivals and a lot trash talk about the surf team and stuff." Bradin answered.

Officer Williams nodded and continued writing things down on his notepad. "We still don't know if this is the guy that did this to you. He could've hired someone to do it or it could be someone entirely different. I'm gonna go to his house to question him and his parents. Does he have any siblings?"

Bradin nodded. "Yeah, he does. Lucas. He's also on the surf team, but I'm friends with him." Officer Williams wrote this down too and turned his attention back to Callie.

"Was Lucas with Tanner and his friends when he approached you yesterday?" Callie shook her head.

"Okay, then. I'm off to talk to Tanner. I'll let you guys know later about new information." With that, Officer Williams grabbed his jacket and headed on out.

"Well, I hope that that gets Tanner in real trouble," Bradin said as Callie walked over to his bedside.

"I'm real sorry, Bradin that I didn't tell you yesterday," Callie apologized for the hundredth time.

"It's okay," Bradin reassured as Callie sat down on the edge of the bed, "I still love you." He gave her a kiss on the lips.

-Fade out to Josh approaching Nikki at her locker-

"Nikki!" Josh shouted as he pushed his way through the crowd to reach her locker. "Hey, you've been avoiding me all day. What's wrong?"

She looked up from her locker at Josh's sad puppy dog face. "Don't act so innocent. I know all about your make-out session with this girl on the beach." Nikki snapped at him.

"What are you talking about? Make-out session?" Josh replied, with a frown on his face.

"Cameron told me about what he saw on the beach a couple of days ago. You wanna know what he saw? He saw you and some girl kissing."

"Cameron told you that? He doesn't know what he's talking about. You know I would never do anything like that to you." Josh defended himself. At that moment, Cameron came up the hallway. He saw Nikki and then Josh and suddenly started heading the other direction, but not before Josh spotted him.

"Hey Cameron! Can I talk to you for a second?" Josh was able to suppress the anger in his voice.

"Oh hey man! Nikki." He tried to give Josh a fake smile.

"Why the hell did you tell Nikki I made out with some girl?" He asked Cameron as he got into his face.

"Dude, calm down." He tried to push Josh away from him.

Josh ignored this and pushed his hand away. "Tell her it's not true." Josh said, calming down a bit.

"I don't know what's going on between you two. I gotta go. Science." He quickly turned and headed down the hallway.

"Listen, I have English now, but I didn't kiss some girl. We'll talk later." He jogged up the flight of stairs, leaving Nikki confused.

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

"Sorry for overreacting earlier today," Josh said sheepishly as they loitered around the beach. Nikki kept silent. "I think I know why Cameron said those things about me." He continued.

This caught Nikki's attention and her face suddenly went ashen. "You do?" she asked indifferently.

"Well, when I first met Cameron, he said that he wasn't sure about his relationship with Jordan and that he still had some feelings for this other girl, Nikki." Nikki's breath shortened. "When I first met you, I was really entranced by you. But I still knew that Cameron was in to you." Josh admitted. "So, before things got serious between us, I asked Cameron if he was okay with me and you together. He said, yeah, sure whatever. So, I thought he was okay with it. But I guess now he's not. I mean when he broke up with Jordan, I didn't really know what to think."

"So, you knew all this time, that he was jealous of me and you?" Nikki inquired, not quite sure if she understood him.

"Well, yes, technically, but I wasn't sure how he would act, and I knew that you had gone out with him before so I didn't want to jeopardize our relationship by telling you that your ex was well, interested." Josh answered quickly.

"I believe you." Nikki stated simply and Josh looked relieved. He leaned in for a kiss. His lips engulfed hers and the lip lock continued for several minutes. From afar, Cameron watched this with jealously filling his heart.
