LOVE ya'll!

Saying Good Bye and a New Beginning

I kissed her neck, she sighed, smiling and holding my hands. Slowly, I let my hands roams her body and I got down to the rim of her bathing suit bottom; she stopped me, looked up and kept kissing me. I slid my hands around the rim and was about to slip them off but she bowed her head and pulled away.

"I can't, Bradin…I'm sorry" she got up pulled her clothes back on and ran back the way we came. "Iz…" I was about to stop her but I didn't. Why did I have to be so stupid and try this on her, Isabel's not like that? "I'm really sorry Iz, I really am" I told her finally catching up at a tree where we got off of our horses.

"I know, so am I, I know you were expecting something to happen here tonight but I couldn't do it, it'd be a big line to cross and if I do cross it, it'd be with you just not tonight…" I kissed her quickly.

"I completely understand" she smiled, her smile worth a million dollars. She slipped her hand into mine and together, we got onto our horses. "We need to hurry before they start getting worried" I laughed, how much I knew Aunt Ava already called the police, oh god I was in so much trouble.

We got home a little after 6am and I snuck back into the room. I laid on the bed just as Ava walked in, I had my eyes opened a little and watched her. She was about to close the door but walked over and patted me on the head, running her fingers through my wet hair. She felt the pillow, a questioning look on her face, and then walked away.

I turned around and tried to get some sleep, while I am still alive, when she finds out where I was in the morning she'll never let me live it down, or live! I was scared of what she would say after she figures out I was with Isabel, after she told me no.

In the morning I got up with Nikki running beside my head with a pot and a baking spoon, banging, I brought the pillow up over my head and groaned. "Uhh…Nikki, what do you want" she laughed. "Up, you promised you'd drive us to the amusement park today" Derrick was beside her. I remembered I did. "Yeah and it's time for breakfast, or lunch actually, get your butt up come on" she walked out of the room. I rubbed my eyes and got up.

We walked down to the car after brunch and I dialed Isabel's number. "Let's see if Izzy wants to come" the dial tone came as soon as I dialed the number. I was confused. "This number has been disconnected and is no longer in service…" I hung up.

"I have to get somewhere first I have to check up on someone" Nikki looked at me. "Isabel" I nodded. We arrived at her house and after knocking on her door I noticed no one opened. Slipping my hands under the mat I noticed that there was a piece of paper instead of the key. –Bradin- It said on the top of a sealed pink envelope.

I sipped my fingers under the flap and unsealed it pulling out the piece of paper. Tears came to my eyes as I read it:

Dear Bradin,

I don't know what to tell you, but I'm sorry. I had to leave for Chicago my grandmother is sick and she needs me to take care of her. I will miss you terribly but don't try to find me because I don't think I'll ever get to see you again. Take care! You are an amazing guy who is sweet, cute, and I care about so much, and I'm sorry I had to do this without even a goodbye. I wish we finished off that night the way you wanted to but I didn't know that there was never going to be another chance. I got one hint of advice before I end this:

NEVER CHANGE! You're a surfer at heart and that's where you belong and I don't regret ever meeting you even knowing about this pain because you showed me life like I never imagined.

…Stay Golden and Sweet

Love Always,

Isabel

PS: I love you Bradin, forever no matter what!

Tears stained the paper again, this time my own. Nikki had read it and she put her arm on mine and hugged me. "I'm sorry Brae, let's go home" I shook my head. "No, I'm going to be home later on get Ava to pick you up I'm sorry" she nodded. I ran to the Surf Shop that was close luckily and Jay wasn't there.

I grabbed my board out of the back room and ran into the water. Landing every trick with perfection as the tears never stopped coming, but the salty water burning on my eyes helped hide them. After I finished surfing I came out I noticed the sun setting. Isabel loved sunsets.

I walked over to Spanish Cove and the rocks in front of it, the very place I first met her. I felt someone behind me and then felt her take my hand. "I'm sorry Bradin" I turned around and felt her gentle lips against my own. Callie. I had missed her. Maybe this was what Isabel meant about new beginnings.

"Hey…I missed you" I ran my fingers through her hair and she smiled taking my hand. "Let's go get something to eat Cal" she nodded, "Come on…" and we walked off. Not that I didn't remember Isabel but I felt lucky to have met her. And who knows, maybe I will see her again eventually, even if only in my dreams.

Thank you Izzy!

-Forever Yours-

Bradin Westerly

I sealed the envelope and dropped it into the mailbox. Callie leaned her head on my shoulder and kissed me. I missed her and I missed this. "Let's go home" she smiled and took my hand pulling me towards her house.
