Chapter 4:
Sean Pov:
Bella and I walked along the shoreline of the beach. She stared out across the blue waters as I watched her face. I had learned so much about her in the few days I had known her. I had also realized that I liked her, alot. Maybe if I can get her to get over whoever left her she would go out with me. I bet she could be happy too. Her eyes they were so beautiful their deep chocolate brown, yet they seemed pepetually void of all emotions but pain and sadness. How could anyone leaving effect her so? Who would even do such a thing? Poor, sweet Bella.
Suddenly she looked ahead of us and I followed her eyes. There was a group of people standing under the peir. We walked up to them and I introduced them to Bella. She already knew a few of them like Veronica, Kate, and Felicity though I wasn't sure she would be entirely excited about seeing them. Then I introduced her to Rob, my heavily muscled friend in which I would never want to get in a fight with. Rob smiled at Bella and for a second I though I saw a flicker of a smile cross her face as well then it just returned to sadness. Next, I introduced her to Derek and Drake who were twins. They seemed to like Bella as well.
Then I introduced her to the last four. Jared, and his followers Link, Zac, and Jeb. After the introductions we sat under the peir for a while. The sky seemed to darken and it was apparent that a storm might be on the way. There wasn't anyone else even on the beach. We all talked for awhile about a number of things. Mostly I talked to Drake about an upcomeing basketball game and watched Bella from the cornor of my eye. She was quiet but she spoke to a Rob sometimes. Then Jared said that we should go on the top of the peir to the end. Veronica folloed him, meaning her friends and Jareds friend followed so eveyone else had no choice but to follow.
We made it up on the top of the peir and I looked up nervously at the sky. Was it just me or did I hear thunder? We walked silently to the end of the peir were Jared looked off the end thoughfully. "Hey", he said "Did you see that thing on t.v the other day? With the people who jumped of the end of the peir on the beach down the coast. It looked fun. Maybe someone should jump off." Jared looked around for volunteers.
"Are you crazy?", I said. "They jumped off the end, but they knew who deep the water was to catch them. If one of us jumped we might hit the bottom. It looks like it's going to storm anyway." Jared did seem backtracked by my statement at all.
"Come on, Sean. Don't be scared.", Jared said in a low voice. Rob spoke up. "Seans right Jared. It's dangerous." Then a small voice spoke up.
"I'll do it." I turned horrified. I knew who that voice belonged to.
Bella Pov:
Sean and I walked along the beach toward the peir. I could feel this stare on the back of my neck so I looked out at the water instead of at him. Suddenly a movment in front of me caught my eye. There were ten teenagers watching us approach. As we got close Sean said hello to everyone and went about introduceing me. I saw Veronica and her friends. I didn't need to be introduced to them. I had figured they would be here. Then Sean motioned toward a very large and muscular guy with brown eyes and wavy hair. He reminded me of someone, I refused to let myself think of that person though. Sean told me his name was Rob.
The muscled guy whom I assumed was Rob smiled and I could help but smiled slightly back. Then I was introduced to twin boys, about Seans height maybe shorter. They had blonde hair and blue eyes. They were cute looking. They waved at me as we were introduced. Then I was introduced to the last four boys. The one in the middle of them seemed to be like their leader though. He was tanned and had dark unruly hair and dark eyes. The three boys around him were muscled but nowhere near Robs size, were as he was lanky looking. Sean told me his name was Jared and his friends were Link, Zac, and Jeb. After the introductions Sean went and talked to Drake and Derek. I walked over to Rob.
"Hello.", I said. He looked up at me and seemed suprised that I was talking to me. "Hi.", he said uncertinly. I looked uncertainly at the ground by where he now sat. "Do you mind if I sit down?" ,I asked. "No.", he replied. He stared at me for a moment. Then he smiled.
"Most girls are intimidated by my size so they don't usually start talking to me as soon as they meet me. You don't seem to be like that.", he said. I couldn't help but smile a little. "No, that's probably because I used to be friend with someone bigger than you before and you remind me of him though.", I said. Rob chuckled and we started talking about Florida and school. It turned out that he went to our school but he was only a junior, which was shocking because of his size. I looked aropund at everyone else too from time to time and noticed that Veronica and her friends would only talk to Jared and his friends. I even wondered if Jared and Veronica were going out. Sometimes I caught Sean stareing at me and Rob talking too. Then I noticed Jared and Veronica stand up.
"Hey, guys.", Jared said. "Were going up to the top of the peir to the end. You coming?" With that him and Veronica followed by their friends went toward the stairs to the peir. Drake and Derek followed behind as well. Sean walked over to Rob and I and we walked togather up to the peir. We walked the peir in silence keeping back from the group in front of us. I noticed Sean stareing up at the sky every now and then but didn't think anything of it. Then we got to the end everyone looked over the edge into the water. I sat on the railing.
"Hey" Jared said suddenly. "Did you see that thing on t.v the other day? With the people who jumped of the end of the peir on the beach down the coast. It looked fun. Maybe someone should jump off." He looked around for volunteers. Sean spoke up though.
"Are you crazy? They jumped off the end, but they knew who deep the water was to catch them. If one of us jumped we might hit the bottom. It looks like it's going to storm anyway." Jared didn't seem put off. "Come on, Sean. Don't be scared.", Jared said and Sean's face mouth tightened. Rob backed him up though. "Sean's right Jared. It's dangerous." My mind suddenly whirled at the word dangerous. It would be dangerous wouldn't it? Like when I almost got hit by the car. Maybe, maybe I could hear the voice again. The promise I made to him not to be reckless and stupid. Ha, why would I keep that? There was no point.
"I'll do it.", I said. Everyone looked at me with shocked expressions. I got up and repeated my words. "I'll do it.", I said. Jared smiled his friends looked uneasy, and Sean. Well Sean looked down right mad. "No, Bella. It's dangerous.", he said. The thought made me smile slightly. I would hear his voice, I knew it. "I know.",I said as I walked forward to the edge. Sean grabbed my arm. "Don't be stupid. Do you want to get killed?",he asked pulling me from the edge. I ripped my arm from his grasp. "No, and I want to be stupid. I will break my promise." ,I screamed and climbed over the rail. "No, Bella. Stop this.", the voice it wasn't Sean's this time. I was going to drag it out the beautiful sound. A smiled lit my face ,and suddenly everyone else seemed distant. I let got of the rail with one hand and then the other. I was now balenced precarously on the edge.
"Don't break your promise Bella. You know this is stupid. Go back. You don't need to prove anything. Go back to your friends." His beautiful voice rang in my ears. I tried to drown out the words only the sound mattered. "Bella, no." ,it was Sean's voice that spoke this time. It was not the voice I wanted. I jumped. The water was warm and inviteing. It rushed up to meet me. I tumbled in the water and the darkness of the water surrounded me. I couldn't see anything. "Bella, swim.", the melodic voice ordered. I moved my arms and I felt like I was drifting. Then I broke the surface. I tried to breathe in air, but my lungs took in water instead. I went back under. My vision was blurred, but I thought I saw faces stareing down at me from the peir. The next thing I knew something was dragging me through the water.
Sean Pov:
"Don't be stupid. Do you want to get killed?", I yelled at Bella as I pulled her away from the edge. What is she thinking? Suddenly she ripped her arm from my grasp with a strength I didn't know she had. Then she was screaming at me. "No, and I want to be stupid. I will break my promise." What? What was she talking about? What promise? She ran to the end railing and climbed over. She looked down and a smile lit her face. I froze in my place. I had seen that same smile before. Right when she was about to get hit by that truck. She slowly let go with one hand and then the other, this shook me from my frozen state.
"Bella, no.",I yelled. Her smile fell from her face and she seemed disappointed. Then she jumped. My eyes widened, and something seemed to click inside my brain. I was suddenly running down the peir, frantic footsteps followed me. I let myself look over for a second to see it was Rob following me. We got down to the edge of the beach and I didn't even hesitate to jump in the water. I swan out to the end of the peir as fast as I could. It was a far way out and my engery was practically used up by the time I got to her. Luckly Rob folloewed me and helped me drag her toward the shore when we got the we were both panting. I looked over at Bella she was breathing. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Bella.", I called. "Wake up Bella." She coughed and turned over letting out water. She gasped for a air and coughed some more. "Sean?", her voice was weak. "Bella. Are you okay?" ,I asked. She sat up groggily. "Yeah, thank you and Sean?" ,she asked. I looked at her. "I'm sorry.", she said. I hugged her tight. She stiffened for a second before hugged me back. Then she turned to Rob. "Thank you." ,she said. He nodded. "Just don't do it again.", he said and smiled. A flicker of a smile was what she gave him in return. "Come on." ,I said looking up at the group on the peir. "Let's get you home." She nodded. We walked along the beach toward her house.
"Sean.", she said. "Yeah." She looked at me with a desperate look on her face. "Sean, Please don't tell Renee. I can't have her anymore worried about me anymore than she is." Her face was pleading. I sighed. "All right, Bella. All right."
