Chapter 8

Jay was busy working in the surf shop when Bradin walked in to start his shift.

"Thats a sick board, Jay. Who ya shapin' it for? Bradin asked

"Actually its mine. I have been working on it for awhile now. I just didn't have the inspiration to finish it and make a sweet board" Jay replied.

"Inspiration? So what is it? Asked Bradin, curious.

"Its you, man" Jay answered, he continued knowing that Bradin was going to ask why.

"You are doing so well surfing and getting your name out there, winning tournaments that

I really wanted to make you a sick board. Not only that, by you doing so well, its getting

my name out there as a manager"

"I don't know what to say, Jay. Thank you. Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me. And just for the record I wouldn't be doing this with anyone else besides you" Bradin confessed

"Thanks man, that means a lot, but no more of this mushy stuff. How were the waves this mornin'?" Jay asked

"They were so awesome, I got some good air and landed some great moves. But there is

something or actually someone that I want you to train. They're entering a tournament and

I need your help. What do you say" Bradin looked a little suspecious. But Jay agreed.

"Sure, who is it? Jay asked.

Bradin looked out the sliding glass door that lead out to the promenode.

"Hey Erika, You can come in now" yelled Bradin.

Jay was shocked as Erika walked into the shop, looking good as ever. Her long dark hair

flowed passed her shoulders, she was wearing her wet suit but had taken the top off and just

had a dark blue tank top on.

Erika had her eyes locked on Jay the whole time, wanting to see his expression.

"Hey" she finally said

"Erika you don't need my help surfing and you know that" Jay said then went back to shaping

the board that he was making for Bradin.

"Your right, I don't need your help surfing but I do need you" she confessed.

Jay put down the board shaper and walked over to her, he swallowed hard, licked his lips and spoke.

"So you want me back, Huh? I don't know how that is going to be possible..."

Erika's eyes began to fill with tears

"...since I was never gone" Jay finally finished his sentence.

Now Erika was really crying. She was so ready for him to reject her again, but he didn't.

"I love you Jay" she said

"I love you too, Baby" Jay said

He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her, it was long awaited!

Bradin sat by watching, impressed with himself for bringing them back together after he was

the reason why where torn apart.

At the same time Erika and Jay both looked at Bradin.

"LEAVE!" the said in unison.

Bradin got up off the counter and skipped out. Guess he's not working today.

As he was walking along the pier he saw Callie & Lucas in what looked like an in depth

conversation. He thought about walking over there but decided that he shouldn't. He told

her that he would give her space until he decided what she wanted to do.

He headed home.

Lucas & Callie

"I am sorry Lucas, I just can't be with you." Callie yelled with frustration

"So your just going to forgive him, just like that?" he yelled back

" I never said that I was getting back together w/ Bradin. Only that I couldn't be with you"

she said back

"Whatever Callie!"

Lucas stormed off. Leaving Callie alone. It was starting to get dark and it was getting a little

chilly outside. She felt bad about hurting Lucas but she couldn't help, she can't change the

way she feels. Although she still had feelings for Bradin she wasn't ready to trust him again.

Still feeling confused as ever Callie walked back home, trying to get the two guys off her mind.

As she was walking home she came across a girl sitting on the beach playing in the sand.
The girl looked about Callie's age. Feeling kinda confused as to why she would be out there

all alone when it started to get dark, she walked out there to introduce herself.

"Whatcha doin' there" she asked

The girl jumped and turned around.

"Oh my god, Sorry you just scared me" she said

"I am sorry I didn't mean to. I was just wondering why you are out here by yourself at this time? Callie asked.

"Just needed to get away from the real world for awhile"

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Oh by the way I am Callie, I go to Playa Linda High. Do

you go there, I haven't ever seen you" Callie asked

"No, I have been home schooled. I am Summer. I live in Sunset Point. I really don't come down

here too often, I just need to get out for a minute" she said

"Well Summer its nice to meet you. Look I am kinda cold and so I am going to go. My house it right there, do you want to come with me?" asked Callie

"Yeah, Sure" Summer got up and followed Callie into her house.

The two girls got to Callies house and headed straight for the kitchen. Callie grabbed some crackers while Summer grabbed the cheese, they headed for the TV.

Callie sat down and grabbed the clicker and turned the TV on.

"Oh Yes, One Tree Hill is one. Don't you love this show?" Callie asked her

"I haven't ever seen it. Whats it about?" Summer asked

" Its just about two brothers whos dad is a jerk and well...Just watch it, its so good. And the guys in this show are so hott" Callie told Summer

"Awesome"

Summer and Callie watched the show and talked & laughed until about 10:00 when Summer decided that she should go home. The girls exchanged cell numbers and agreed to meet the next day and go surfing.
