Previously on Come To Me…

"Come on, are you going to stay faithful to Callie, the love of your life? Claire, the new fem fatale? Maria, her best friend. Sarah, the… whacked out, psycho, old girlfriend. Or…the newest addition, Pixel. So… who will it be?" Lucas finished and Bradin looked at him with confusion.

"My god you are air headed. Don't you spend any time thinking about anything but girls?" Bradin asked.

"What else is there to think about?" Lucas asked dimly. Bradin rolled his eyes and rode into shore. He got about half way to shore when he realized Lucas wasn't behind him. Looking rapidly he noticed his board wash up long enough for him to realize Lucas was pulled under.


Chapter 8-What happens once is bound to happen again

Bradin frantically searched the water. Panicked, he ducked under water to find Lucas. After about a minute he came back up, gasping for air. No sign of blood, that's a good thing. Or…no. That could mean he was dragged out to sea. Bradin thought. Taking time to rationalize, he glanced on the beach long enough to see a boy in a wetsuit chasing two girls. Noticing whom it was anger flooded through Bradin as he rode in to shore. He dripped in the sand as he made his way towards Lucas.

"Wait! Where are you two going?!" Lucas screamed after them. He tripped not looking where he was going because he was looking at their asses' ¾th's of the time. They turned and laughed at him mercilessly.

"By the way thanks for asking! I'm Mandy!" she said in disgust. She had dark auburn hair and shining green eyes. She was wearing an orange bikini with red flowers on it. She smiled angrily and gave Molly a chance to speak.

"You know, I probably would've gave you a chance if you hadn't been such a jerk!" Molly teased. She wasn't telling the truth but wanted to give him a taste of medicine of her own. "Guess you were never taught any manners? And you wonder why nobody will hang out with you. You have to stoop to this level?" she huffed. Molly had really light blonde hair and light brown eyes. She was in great shape and had a really nice smile, Bradin noticed. Mandy stood there trying really hard not to laugh when he approached in his wetsuit clapping for her brilliant speech.

"Wow!" Bradin yelled. "I definitely couldn't have done better."

The two girls knew who Bradin was. The fact was that they both had a big crush on him. "Oh my god!" Molly whispered softly. She felt like fainting but tried really hard to stand straight. She sighed and took a deep breath. "Thank you," she said lightly. He smiled.

"Your welcome," he replied. "Thank you for giving me a coronary!" he screamed at Lucas. "Remind me to never worry over him again!" he said to the girls. Mandy nodded and Molly just stood there. "I'm Bradin by the way."

"Do you want to go get a drink or something?" Molly blurted out. Her eyes opened wide. Oh no! She thought. What did I just say? Oh, I know what I said. I asked him to get a drink. How am I supposed to get a drink with him if I can't even… her thoughts were interrupted by Bradin's sweet voice.

"Sure," he said. She was surprised by his answer but liked that he said yes. "Where too?"

"Um… your choice," she said in a shocked tone. "I'll drink anything as long as it's non-alcoholic," she bargained. He nodded in agreement and started walking towards her.

"Are you coming too? Mandy? Right?" Bradin asked a little confused. He smiled at her and she melted. She forgot about what Molly might have thought about barging in on her. Molly was thinking though she was having different thoughts. I wonder if he can kiss as good as he looks? She wondered. Does he have a girlfriend? I he…

"Do you care?" Mandy asked for the 3rd time. Molly didn't even notice Mandy had said anything to her the first two times.

"What…oh, I guess not," Molly said lying. No I don't mind you going on, what might be a date, with one of the most gorgeous guys in school with me! She screamed at Mandy in her head. "Not at all."

"Cool," Bradin said, "Let me get changed out of my wetsuit and I'll join you two in a second."

"Ok, you want us to wait here?" Mandy asked.

"If you want," Bradin replied. Everyone forgot that Lucas was sitting there. His mouth was agape as he watched them flirt with Bradin.

"I have to beg a girl to go on a date with me and you don't even ask them. They ask you! Meanwhile I've been sitting in the sand watching you sweet talk them!" Lucas bickered. Bradin rolled his eyes and walked off to change. Both girls looked at Bradin with infatuation as he walked away.


"What's up?" Nikki asked. Her and Cameron were walking on the pier for a long time. Hand in hand in silence until Nikki broke it. He had an unfathomable dejection showing in his eyes. She left it alone for a while but couldn't stand holding it back any longer.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine," Cameron said, snapping out of his trance. "Why do you ask?"

"Well I noticed you were a little… depressed," Nikki analyzed. "So…are you?" Cameron noticed she had great concern in her eyes. He wasn't sure he wanted to tell her what has going on though.

"No, just thinking," Cameron concealed.

"About," Nikki waited patiently. She looked at him with a look that he couldn't lie to.

"Us…I've been thinking about us," Cameron decided not to make any more hesitation. He couldn't hide anything from her…now or ever.

"Oh really?" Nikki asked shocked. She thought the news couldn't possibly be good with the look he had on his face all that time. She anticipated to hear what he has to say next.

"Yeah and I know we have adjusted to just being friends…well I think you have anyway…" Cameron trailed off. Nikki was confused. Does he want to get back together with me? She asked herself. She hoped so.

"What do you mean 'me anyway'?" she asked stupidly. He sighed.

"I miss it!" he finally got out.

"Miss what?" she asked again. She had momentary laps while trying to figure out what he was talking about.

"Us…our relationship, I mean," Cameron explained. He looked down at the wooden pier. Nikki felt her stomach drop. Cameron could tell the look of shock on her face and figured he should probably explain. "I miss the laughs we had and the fun we had together…and the …" Cameron kissed her then and she felt herself fall off an imaginary cliff. When he stopped she thought.

"No," she said.

"What?" Cameron asked.

"I said no," Nikki said. "Your wrong. I never thought of you just as a friend. I never could. I need you too much," she said. She smiled and kissed him softly.


The four teens sat outside of Sandy Bob's pizza house. They were laughing and talking about some of the stupidest things. Bradin excused himself and headed towards the restroom. Molly had an idea and followed him. She tapped him on the shoulder before he got to far to get his attention.

"Bradin can I talk to you real quick in private?" she asked him.

"Um… can I go to the restroom first?" he asked back uncomfortably. She laughed unnervingly and nodded. She hadn't said anything and already was she sinking in the mud. A minute passed and Bradin returned out of the door he went through previously. He smiled at Molly, making her heart drop to china.

"Well, you wanted to talk to me?" Bradin asked politely. She nodded and grabbed him, taking him around the back of the restaurant. When she saw that nobody was in sight to see both of them, she pushed him against the wall. His eyes widened in confusion. Before he could even think she pressed her lips against his. Taken aback Bradin pulled away as fast as possible. He licked his lips, tasting the strawberry lip-gloss she had on.

"Um, Molly I…" Bradin couldn't speak. His loss of words confused Molly. Bradin tried again. "I can't…" failure.

"I can. If you didn't notice by now Bradin, I have liked you for a long time. Seeing you in the halls, knowing that I would never be able to be around you hurt. But now that I have gotten to talk to you I…" her sentence was cut off.

"I have a girlfriend," Bradin said. He sighed and looked at her, seeing that she was upset.

"I know you do," Molly said.

"What? How?"

"Because any girl would be crazy not to go out with you." Molly dismayed. Bradin smiled. He kissed her on the cheek.

"I know it doesn't mean much but thanks."

Back in front.

"Ha! I don't believe you for one second. How could you have enough coordination to surf? There is no way you could make the surf team? Wait, I think I have seen you surfing. You are really good," Mandy said in a solemn tone.

Lucas nodded and smiled. Mandy was surprised by how nice of a person Lucas really was. "Thank you," he said kindly.

"Can I ask you a question?" Mandy asked. When she saw Lucas nod, she continued. "Why did you act that way on the beach? Why didn't you act like you are now? I can tell you now I would have noticed you so much more if you had. You're a nice guy."

"I just thought you might have noticed me more that way. I would have never guessed you were into a nice guy," Lucas clarified. She shook her head.

"All girls want a nice guy. We just like to play with your heads. To tell you the truth, it's hysterically entertaining," she giggled. "But I have one more question for you. What made you think that I liked the bad guys?" Claire was extremely curious. She looked at him with inquisitiveness.

"Because I thought you were hot; no offence but I just thought you would be hard to get," Lucas explained simply. He smiled in a dorky way and she laughed.

"Thanks…I guess. But I don't really think that should matter. I mean, look at Molly. Sure she likes Bradin for a lot of reasons but mostly…because he has a good heart. And she knew that for a long time. The only thing is I have a really bad feeling that she isn't going to get him," Mandy said misfortunate. She sighed looking over to where Molly and Bradin had walked. "But…Lucas?"

"Hmm?"

"I have a confession to make."

"Uhu?" he asked not looking at her. Instead he was looking at his glass, twirling it around. She put her hand on the glass to stop him so he would pay attention to her.

"I knew who you were today on the beach. And… I knew who you were because I've had a crush on you since you came to this school," she confessed. His eyes widened as he tried to figure it all out. "I know it might sound strange but almost every thing that I said today has been fake. Just to see it you really liked me too."

"So…does that mean that you wouldn't mind going back out with me tomorrow?" he asked sincerely. She smiled and nodded. No sooner their discussion was over they saw Bradin and Molly walking over. Bradin stood there awkwardly for a moment when he decided he would go home.

"I'll see you tomorrow Lucas. Mandy it was nice meeting you. I hope to see you and Molly more often. I…"

"Oh you will probably see us more, I guarantee it," Mandy smiled at him then at Lucas, giving him a devious smile.

"Great well, I'll talk to you later. I need to get home before my aunt has a nervous breakdown," Bradin said. He looked to see that Molly and Mandy were both a little lost. "I moved here at the beginning of the summer to live with my aunt after my parents died. Then he saw both of their eyes widen. He shook his head. "And I'm ok with it now. But I'll see ya later. Bye!"


Bradin was close to home when he noticed a figure on his front porch. Then he realized that it was Claire. He rushed over to her, very happy to see her. "Hey!" he screamed. "I was wondering where you were. I thought maybe you were ignoring me…." he noticed she had dried tears on her face. "Hey, what's wrong Claire?"

"Bradin, They're dead."
