A/N: Hey everyone I decided that I should write a story! Yay! Well here I hope you like it its not that bad and please review! Because I don't want to right this if no one is going to read this. Any way enjoy and review thanks.

P.S sorry for any mistakes!

I don't own anything Summerland ( whatever that really means. LOL!)

"Nikki, enough with the food already! I'm not hungry!"

"Well sorry to care so much about what is left of this family Bradin Westerly!"

"Well care a little less next time okay!"

After Bradin was done yelling at Nikki he walked up to his room and shut the door. He then lay on his bed, knowing this might be the only time he had alone. For the fact he shared a room with his little brother Derrick. All he could think of as he was laying on his bed was what he would be doing right now if his parents were alive. But he couldn't help but cry until he finally fell asleep.

A week had gone by since the argument with Nikki. A few days after Jay had offered a job to Bradin at the shop. Bradin accepted thinking this might be funnest thing he would be doing all summer.

"So Jay what's there to do around here?"

"Surf mate," Jay said in his deep Australian accent

"Sorry don't have to much interest in that. Anything else to do?"

"Uhhh..No!" Jay said sarcastically "What if the girl standing in front of the door taught you?"

Bradin turned his head from Jay and looked outside. Standing was a tall, beautiful, girl a little younger than Jay. Bradin thought she had the most amazing eyes.

"Well then again I might as well learn right" Bradin said knowing what Jay was thinking.

Bursting through the back door was a young girl Bradin's age. Bradin thought she was cute probably because she looked a little like that surfing teacher.

"I know I'm late so there's no need to tell me Jay."

"Your late Shela," Jay said mocking the girl

"One, don't call me Shela, that's what you call Australian girls. Two…. I haven't thought of it yet but I promise I'll get back to you."

She smiled at Bradin when he laughed.

"You must be Bradin right"

"Yeah that's me. You are…," Bradin said sticking out his hand to shake

"Oh! Sorry! Zena" ( isn't that a kick ass name sorry!)

Zena was 5'3 with black hair and brown highlights. She also had a nice body which Bradin liked. She had dark brown eyes that looked hazel in the sun. She was wearing a black and blue wetsuit with a cell phone in one hand and a board in the other.

"Hey z back from surfing already"

"Yeah I start at nine today remember Erica?"

"Oh yah! Sorry!"

"So Erica you meet Bradin yet.?" Jay said pointing to him

"Well I've heard a lot about you Bradin," She said as they shook hands. "I 'm Erica the surfing teacher. You up for learning?"

"Yah… Uh, Id love to learn Bradin," said stuttering at how beautiful she was

"Cool you'll be a pro in no time. I have a lesson in 5 min. so have to go. Nice meeting you Bradin."

"You to," he said smiling. He couldn't help but watch as she walked out with her surf board. He stared until she went completely out of sight.

"Well your doing a good job trying to act like you don't have the hot's for her," Zena said trying not to laugh harder than she was.

Bradin smiled looking slightly embarrassed.

"If you want to get working that would be great mate"

"You just called me mate." Zena said looking slightly irritated

"And…"

"I'm a girl for god-sake"

"Well we call girls mate in Australia as well as guys Jay said making a joke."

"Well guess what your in Cali now. You've been in Cali for a while, speak English! We call girls here…. Hot, young, and beautiful. Some what like me. She smirked as she walked to the back room to change."

Her little joke made both Bradin and Jay laugh.

"Don't worry she's a firecracker. You'll get used to her."

"Heard that Jay! Zena said from the back room"

After Zena changed into a blue tank and blue shorts she went to go help a customer.

It was about 5:30 and time to close up the shop. After a hard days work it was finally time to go home. Zena, Jay, and Bradin walked outside to finish up a conversation on surfing. As Jay closed up the shop Zena decided that she could walk around the beach to see if she could catch up with some friends.

"Alright Jay guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Where you of to in such a hurry?"

"Just going out to the beach or something to see if I can find anything to do"

"Alright try not to be late tomorrow o.k."

"I've been working for you since I was 13 I'm always late."

"Yeah I know, see you later"

"Bye"

Just as they were walking away Zena thought it would be a good idea that Bradin and herself could get together and talk. I mean he was really cute and seemed like a very nice guy.

"Hey Bradin"

"Yeah" Bradin said as he turned around

"You want to go hang out on the beach? We can grab a smoothie or something."

Bradin looked at Jay questioning if he should go. Jay nodded "yes" thinking it would be a good idea for Bradin to get to know someone. Even if they went farther than being friends Jay would want him to be with someone who he knew would be good. He thought the same for Zena. Zena and Jay were friends for the longest time she was a long time friend to the family and everyone loved her because of how reliable and kind she was.

Bradin took Jays advice and said yes. Before you knew it the two were out site seeing all around the beach.

"Having fun"

"Great time"

But he was lying he was trying to forget everything that happened but he couldn't. He couldn't stop thinking of his parents. His dead parents.

"So lets grab a smoothie and we can head out onto the rocks."

"Cool"

After an hour and a half of walking they sat on the rocks with their drinks at hand watching the waves come in

"Are you always this quiet Bradin"

"No. just when I've had bad days, or weeks."

"Jay told me why you're here in Playa Linda living with Ava. We talk a lot"

"Do you know Ava well"

"Yeah were close. You don't really like talking about your parents do you?"

"Is it that obvious"

"For the record I know how you feel"

Bradin hated people who said they knew how he felt when they didn't

"Yah! How the hell do you know how I feel?" Bradin said with a different tone in his voice.

"Well for one I don't live with my parents. I live with my cousin"

"And who's your cousin" Bradin said curiously

"Erica didn't Jay tell you?"

"Guess it slipped his mind"
