Accidents

The day of the first competition came, that very morning I had to be at the surf shop a 5:00 am, to make sure everything got set up since Bradin would be practicing and getting ready. The sun was almost all the way up and the day had started heating up to its regular 100 degree temperatures. I threw on my bikini, a jean skirt and a blue tank top over my bathing suit and ran to the surf shop.

"Hey, it's about to get crowded, go make sure everything's in order Izzy" Jay was already panicking not having Bradin there he wasn't sure I could handle everything. "Jay, relax, we'll be plenty ready in time for everyone AND to watch Bray surf, no chill" he took a deep breath. "Yeah, you're right" he picked up a board and handed it to me. "Okay, this one, and a few I will hand you need to be waxed, do that for me please" I sighed and took the board; this was going to be a long day.

It was getting closer to 3, Bradin's surf time. A guy with brown hair and a really nice tanned body came to the counter. "Hey, how come you're working here, you look like the water's your heaven" I smiled at his obvious attempt at flirting. "Yeah, but I'm taking over for a friend who's in the competition…names Isabel" I put out my hand and he shook it. "Well Isabel, you have a really pretty name, this is Joseph, Michael, and I'm David, and this is my sister Camille, she's 15, my and my friends are all 18, and you are" I smiled. "17" his face seemed to light up, my watch beeped. "Ooh, about to go watch my friend, and student surf, later boys…oh and if you need anything, Jay's right around the corner" I heard Jay shouting. "Oh no I'm not, you guys will have to wait up, I'm going to watch too" he followed me out the door.

Bradin was amazing, I have never seen him surf better then that and everyone was staring at him, every single girl that came was only there to get a hot surfer boyfriend, "Hey I'm Caitlin" a blonde girl cooed, "I'm 16 and you are…" he smiled and put his arm around Erika, "Taken" the girl looked disappointed and he walked away towards me, I threw my arms around his neck. "That was so amazing, you have totally impressed me" he hugged me back. "Really…that's awesome", he smiled. We watched some other guys surf and then went back to the shop as it started getting darker.

"Okay well the competition continues tomorrow, so Bradin, I need you ready, let's go practice a little bit" I dragged him out to the beach and onto the waves. I saw him riding the waves; he was where I knew he belonged.

I stood on the edge and watched Bradin surfing. He did a 180, a perfect one at that and then just as he was about to do a 360, before he landed, the waves pushed him onto a group of rocks. I ran back and forth, frantic, looking but didn't see anything but the velar blue water.

"Come on…come on…come up, come on Bray, come up" I whined to myself, still pacing and not seeing him. I was staring at the water and didn't see Jay come up beside me and I ran straight into him.

"Oh hey Jay…" he looked at me weird and then caught my and stopped me from pacing.

"Whoa, chill sheila, what's up with you" I looked at the water. "Bradin, he hit some rocks and he's been out a while…Jay where is he" I whined and ran towards the water, he followed.

We got to the water and I almost tripped on once I picked it up, what turned out to be the end of a very mutilated surf board. "Damn it!" Jay yelled taking his shirt off and jumping into the water, I followed. I let my shorts drop and took off my shirt and made a mad rush towards the water, Bradin was in serious trouble.

I pulled my head out of the water and I saw Jay a little ways in front of me. "Anything" he asked, I shrugged, "Nothing, come on keep looking" all of the sudden I felt something hit my foot, like a hand or a body part. I dove under and told Jay I think I got him.

It was completely dark. I couldn't see, I couldn't think, my own senses were driving me, to save Bradin, the guy I cared about so much. A burning pain shot through my arm as I scraped some coral and I felt blood running out. My eyes were blurry, I couldn't see, the salt was burning but I wouldn't give up. I grabbed his hand and pulled him out. I swam back the way I knew the shore was and I pulled us both up on shore. Before I blacked out completely I felt Erika and Jay pulling Bradin off of me and then I felt them pull me out of the water.

About what felt like 10 minutes later I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. I checked my watch and realized it had actually been about 3 hours since the accident. It was exactly 12 am, midnight. I heard someone come in the room, and once they saw I was awake called in the rest.

Ava, Johnny, Derrick, Nikki, Jay and Erika all walked through the door. "Oh my god, are you ok" I moaned. "Where's Bradin, is he ok" it's the first thing that flew out of my mouth. I was so worried, why was it that I was the one falling so badly for him when he belonged with Erika.

"He's in his room, he's fine, awake and sitting up" Erika smiled and sat beside me. I was about to get up but she grabbed my shoulders. "No, don't get up, I'll help you" she gave me her hand and I got up. We slowly walked to Bradin's room, I gasped when I saw him.

He had a bruised eye, his lip was cut and his arm was wrapped in a bandage. "Oh my god Izzy, are you ok" he held his arms open and I hugged him. "You worried me Bray, what happened" he shrugged. "I guess I lost my balance and then got pulled under, I'm glad you're ok though" I totally forgot Erika was still there.

"Hey can I talk to Bradin alone please" I nodded and walked out of the room. About 20 minutes later, she came out. She looked like she was really upset and was about to start crying. "Are you ok" she nodded and stopped and turned towards me. "Iz, I know Bradin kissed you and I know it was real…" I interrupted her. "Yes, but Bradin has liked you so much longer, I don't want to ruin it between you two because of me" she put a finger up to my mouth. "Isabel, you're my best friend, I love you like a sister, but I know when two people are supposed to be together…you and Bradin…and me and Jay" Jay came up behind her and put his hands over her shoulders, I smiled. "I'm glad you're happy…I won't do this unless YOU approve" she nodded. "I approve"

I walked into his room; he was sitting on his bed, upset and didn't even look up when I came in. "Bray…" he looked at me, just barely lifting his head. "Are you ok" I knew this wasn't Erika, it was something else. "I…no I'm not…I'm scared now Iz, I can't surf…I can't Izzy, I'm scared, especially because of what happened to you, when I woke up and they told me you saved me and you were still out, I thought I was going to…die…I can't have you hurt Iz" I stopped him but placing my lips over his.

He seemed surprised but got into the kiss. "We can't…" I looked at him, our faces millimeters apart. "Why Bray, isn't this what you wanted" he was playing with a locket around his neck, he reached around and unbuckled it. "I got this from my dad…a little before he…died" he gulped, "I'm sorry…" he stopped me. "It was like supposed to help me remember him forever, Iz, I just can't have a girlfriend right now, I lost Erika to Jay, I lost my parents, I almost lost you, and I can't surf anymore, DAMN, this world hates me, why can't I just get one GOOD thing" he jumped off the bed and ran out through the door.
