Chapter Four: Something There

Bradin walked along the beach heading nowhere in particular. He was really hoping he would catch Erika surfing, but he told himself that they couldn't work.

'But I still love her,' he thought, 'I can't just forget her.'

It was just his luck; Erika was up ahead coming out of the water. Bradin just stopped and watched her. She patted herself dry and then lied down, trying to catch some of the remaining sunlight as the sun had begun to set.

Bradin's mind was racing. What would he do: talk to her or try to ignore her? He finally made up his mind:

"ERIKA!"

Erika turned her head to the direction her name was called. She noticed Bradin walking along the beach towards her. She had this gut feeling that she shouldn't be near him, or even seen with him, but she stayed. She didn't know whether to run or face the pain.

"Hey Erika!" Bradin called again as he drew closing to her.

"H-hey," she said, but not loud enough to hear.

"Erika," Bradin said as he approached her. "Funny meeting you hear."

"Bradin, I'm happy to see and all, but I don't think you should be seen with me," Erika said to him. Bradin frowned.

"Come on, Erika. Can't we talk?" Bradin said.

"Bradin . . ."

"Come on. Please," he continued begging.

"Fine, Bradin, lets go sit up there," she agreed as she nodded up the hill of sand. They climbed to the top and sat down.

"So how was your month without Bradin?" Bradin asked.

"F-fine," she said hesitantly. Bradin caught how nervous she was and tried to calm her down. He didn't want her to leave without them talking about them.

"Erika, relax. No one is going to catch us talking," Bradin said.

"Bradin, I just don't feel comfortable being here with you alone. I don't want any feelings to get hurt," Erika said. She ran her fingers through her hair.

"Don't worry. Everything will be okay. I just wanna talk," he explained.

"Talk about life, the surfing tournament, or us?" Erika asked, looking very strict.

"All three. I just want to know if there is anything between us," Bradin said calmly. Erika let out a deep sigh before standing and marching away in frustration. She was finally fed up. Bradin stood up and chased after her. He caught up to her and grabbed her arm to slow her down. "Erika!"

"Bradin! There can be nothing between us! Regardless our feelings about one another," she stated. Her eyes widened. That was not what she wanted to say.

"So there is something!" Bradin said. It was easy to tell that he was on the verge of crying. Water began to swarm his eyes. Erika couldn't handle it anymore. She turned away from him and ran home. Bradin blinked and the tears finally fell.

Erika walked into her bedroom and jumped onto the bed. She brought her pillow up to her face and screamed as loud as she could into it. She finally broke down and began to cry.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry they are all so short. I do have a life . . . and a lot of homework. Sorry I never got to Nikki and Jay. Most comments only wanted Bradin and Erika. Next chapter will be Nikki and Jay.
