"Shake a leg, let's get a move on" Stef yells up the stairs.

"Who's riding with who" Jude asks.

"I can take all of you want because your car is taking most of the beach equipment" Lena says.

"Alright that's fine but I'm be all lonely" Stef pouts sticking out her lip.

"Very well you can have the girls if they ever get down here"

Callie and Mariana packed into Stefs black SUV as Jeusus,Jude, and Brandon went with Lena. It was about a 45minute drive out to the beach as they went to the reef not to be bothered with others.

"I'm totally getting my tan on" Mariana smiled brightly.

"Loser, let's hit the waves" Jesus hollered.

"Be careful" Lena reminded.

"I got them hon" Stef said while bulldozing over to the reef with the boys.

"Jude wait up" Callie said.

Jude was already gone with Stef and the rest of the boys while Mariana was setting up her towel and Lena was unpacking the car.

"Callie a little help please" Lena asked.

"Yeah, Jude forgot sunscreen" Callie said.

"Dont worry babe, Stef is with him he'll be fine. We have a rule at this beach because there isn't a watch guard and either me or Stef needs to be with you guys while you're in the water so don't worry Callie".

"Okay" Callie breathed out a sigh of relief.

Stef

As the boys and I were goofing around in about 5ft I could see Lena signal me.

"Alright hoodlums, time to take a little break from the water lets go."

"What we just got in" Jesus whined.

"You know the rules come on"

As we got up to where the girls were I could see Lena and Callie were just sitting there while Mariana was lying on her towl.

"Alright who's down for some beach volleyball" I suggested to get these guys off their butts.

The kids all agreed so Brandon and Jesus set up the court while we picked teams.

"Alright mama and I are captions, you have first pick my lovely lady" I winked at Lena.

"Hm alright I chose Jesus" My wife said.

"I'll take Callie" I said.

"Brandon" Lena chose for her second pick.

"Jude" for my second pick.

We started up with Jude,Callie and I against Jesus,B,Mari, and Lena as teams.

Stef was right, this summer was about to be so much fun. Right now we were playing our second game and I didn't have a care in the world, well except for winning of course.

"Game point" Stef said as she was about to serve the ball.

She over hand served it as Jesus returned it to our side as Jude set it up for me and I spiked it over the net for the win.

"Oh yeah my babies" Stef cheered as she wrapped me and Jude in a hug for our second win.

"Whatever I'm still a starter for the volleyball team" Jesus bragged.

"Are you a staring swimmer" Stef asked.

Jesus was confused til Stef threw him into a water and it started an all out water fight.

Man this day was great and the week was just getting started.

"Moms, you guys brought surf boards right" Jude asked.

"Yes sir" Lena answered as the brawl ended.

"Can we go surfing" Jude asked excited

"Of course" Stef said.

We started walking to the reef with our boards. I caught up with Stef and asked if she has ever surfed.

"Yeah sweets, a couple times but mama is the real surfer in the family" Stef joked.

"Okay because I've never actually ever really been surfing, I mean my mom loved the beach and used to take us there all the time but we were to young at the time I think so I just never really you know" I babbled.

"It's alright it's not that hard it's fun" Stef said.

"So not that were in the water you just want to lay on your stomatch and start paddling" Stef instructed.

"Then when you see a wave just hop and have some fun kiddo" Stef smiled.

I nodded and gave her a real smile.

I was sitting next to Mariana just floating on our boards both of us lying on our stomatchs. Jesus was trying to help Jude out but it looked like Jude was doing better than him. Stef and Lena were both sitting on their boards not to far from Mariana and I. Brandon was off to the side a little trying to catch a real wave.

"Man this is actually pretty cool and look at the view" Mariana said to me as we looked at the horizon as I argeeed.

"Yeah you don't even wish you had your phone do you" I teased.

"Ha I wouldn't take it that far" Mariana teased back.

All i remember was talking to Mariana, laughing about something that was carefree until I felt the right side of my board go under the water while I was talking I took a big gulp of salt water down my throat. I was confused and my arm was killing me. I couldn't hear anything under the water. I just keep being pulled deeper and deeper being thrashed around until I felt like my head was going to explode. Finally after hours it felt like I felt the air hit my face. I couldn't open my eyes yet because it was to bright. I was being layer on my back even though I was coughing like crazy. I couldn't get air into my lungs because I'm pretty sure all the water in the ocean was in my lungs right now. All of the sudden the smell of blood hit me like a wall. It was strong and it was sticky I'm pretty sure it was all over me it felt like. With my head and lungs felling like they were a different part of me I managed to open my eyes. Along with that I could hear Stef yelling it sounded weird though, like I was still underwater. I could now see Stef and Jesus above me, it a blur of the sun or maybe it was my tears. Stef was on my right side pushing down hard as Jesus was carrying my board as we were almost to the reef. Every step back felt like a needle stabbing into my right side I tried to ask Stef to stop pushing but nothing would come out. We were finally at the beach with Brandon as he and Stef wrapped his tshirt around my shoulder I think it was to probably try and stop the bleeding. Lena,Jude, and Mariana were still not in sight, well my sight which was very limited to straight above me. I heard mumbles of Brandon saying he called an ambulance and they were going to meet us as all three lifted me up into Lenas jeep. Stef hopped in the back with me as Jesus took the front and Brandon went behind the wheel. Stef held onto my left hand with the hand she was trying to kill me with still pushing on my right shoulder. I was in so much pain I couldn't put my thoughts into words as my eyes started to drift closed.

"Hey baby, my sweet sweet baby keep your eyes open, look right at me right here" Stef urged.

As I could now clearly hear her as well as clearly fell the whole weight of my obviously injuries.

"Hurts" I managed to get out in between the sharp cries.

"I know baby the paramedics are going to make it all better okay you'll be fine just hang on and stay with me for a few more sweet girl okay" Stef said.

"P-p-please stop u-ushing on my s-side" I barely got out.

"I'm sorry baby girl, I have to keep pressure" Stef looked like she was in more pain more me.

"it's okay" I tried to smile I just wanted to smile but I think I failed miserably.

"Okay just focus on my breathing okay" Stef said.

I don't think I answered. Why do they make sirens so loud? My head was already pounding and I couldn't move now I couldn't close my eyes but I couldn't see. Things around me around in a blur. Was I even breathing. I really just wanted out of the pain now I needed to close my eyes even if it was against Stefs wishes. I couldn't hear her anymore but I knew what she would say if I gave up. It was like being underwater again it just was getting darker and it wasn't like I could just swim up, I couldn't move. Now I couldn't hear anything I slowly lost feeling of the paramedics touches and accepted the peacefully painless darkness.
