Ch6 :

Jay laid his mouth on hers softly as he felt Alanna wrap her arms around his neck, and pull him close, as she lay back on the sand. He detached his lips from her mouth and trailed them down her neck.

"Jay," he heard her say softly…

"Jay?" Alanna asked sitting up, and holding herself up of her elbows, "Jay? Are you okay?"

Alanna's voice snapped Jay out of his little daydream and now that he realized none of that had happened, his head began to twist.

"Yeah man, I'm fine" Jay said standing up and brushing the sand off his jeans. Alanna noticed his actions, and began to put on her shoes again. She stood up in front of him, and tried to lock eyes with him. The answer was clear as his eyes refused to cooperate with hers. He wouldn't look at her, and it was making Alanna feel like she did something wrong. What did she do?...What didn't she do?

I can't look at her anymore…if I do…I might tell her…

"I've got to go," Jay said walking around her to pick up the board that she brought when she came to sit down. He turned to her looking down at the ground, and looking into her eyes for a split second, "Thanks for coming after me."

"Come here Jayboy," Alanna said taking him in a hug, she placed her hand on the back of his head, as he wrapped his arms around her with his head on the shoulder. He heard Alanna sigh, and speak, "You're welcome. Anytime you need someone I'm here for you man."

Jay pulled back, and dared himself to look her in the eyes. He smiled at her, and began to walk away in the direction of his house.

Alanna watched him walk away wondering what could be on his mind that's so stressful.

…

Alanna rounded the corner to her house only wondering what she could be in for this time. Surprisingly there was nothing there, and she sighed happily that she didn't hear or see police.

She walked up to her driveway to see no black Chevelle in the driveway, she sighed. It was now 5:30. He should've been home by now. Work let out an hour ago. Alanna walked into her house just as the phone ringing. She put down her skateboard and ran into the kitchen. She picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

"Hello?" she asked into the receiver. It was silent for a few seconds, "H-"

"Lanna?" she heard someone ask on the other side of the phone. Alanna sighed knowing exactly who is was.

"Where are you dad?" she asked sighing into the phone now frustrated.

"I'm coming back tomorrow morning, alright? Can you handle yourself for the night?" he asked over the phone.

"Yeah, I'm good for the night," she said waiting for him to say something.

"See you tomorrow," he said and hung up the phone. Alanna was about to hang up the phone when she heard a voice on the line say 'This is a collect call from Spearstrot Country Jail.' Alanna gave a knowing, and annoyed laugh as she hung up the phone and then retreated upstairs to her room……

…

Alanna woke up the next morning in her semi dark room to see three figures standing in front of her bed. She thought it was all in her mind, until she saw one of them move an inch. She slowly reached over and turned on the light to unexpectedly see Stacy, Tony, and Jay all dressed in their wetsuits.

"HOLY SHIT!" she yelled loudly sitting up in her bed. She clamped her hand over her mouth as she heard someone next door yell for her to shut up, "What the hell are you doing here?" she asked as all the guys came and sat around her on her bed.

"Going surfing early today. We just decided get going earlier today. C'mon babe, get dressed we'll wait for you," Tony said getting a little too comfortable on Alanna's bed next to her. Jay looked over at Tony with evil eyes. Tony gave Jay a weird glance and backed off.

"Alright let me go change," Alanna said getting off the bed, and walking to her dresser taking out a yellow bikini with brown flowers on the right breast, and her wet suit from on top of her dresser.

"So Alanna, I noticed your dad's car wasn't outside. Isn't he usually home now?" Stacy asked. Alanna froze. She didn't answer or look at any of them as she walked out of her room and down the hall to the bathroom.

Stacy, Tony, and Jay exchanged glances. No one said anything. Jay was about to get up, when Stacy did and walked in the direction Alanna walked.

Stacy knocked on the bathroom door.

"Lanna?" he asked. He didn't hear the shower running. He slowly turned the knob on the door to see Alanna sitting on the counter with her head in her hands. She looked up once she heard his voice. There were no tears in her eyes, she just looked tired, and frustrated.

"Hey Stace," she said sticking on a fake smile. Him being the Stacy that she knew, he saw right through it.

"What's the matter?" he asked sitting on the counter next to her placing a hand on her back. Alanna leaned back against the mirror to see Tony, and Jay emerge at the door.

"My dad…again," Alanna said sighing, and closing her eyes. The guys could see the hurt spread like butter on her face.

"He didn't hit you again did he?" Stacy said, and Jay turned to him, wondering how he knew.

"No," Alanna said her breath getting caught in her throat, and she coughed a little.

"Wait, Stacy how do you know about that?" Jay asked turning to Stacy.

"He hit you!" Tony asked angrily walking over in front of Alanna. She pulled her hair back a little to show the gash. Jay looked over at it and then back to Stacy.

"I told him, Jay calm down," Alanna said sighing as she let her hair fall over her face again. Tony was still mad but didn't let it show because he didn't want to make Alanna feel more worse then she probably already did. Jay was silent in the corner. So was Stacy, "Look forget it dude. I wanna have fun today, because well... I don't know. But there better be a party tonight."

"Yeah we're all getting together tonight at the shop for a little get together," Jay said from the door. Alanna smiled.

"Yesss, alright let me change I'll be out in a minute," Alanna said smiling and shoving all of them out of the bathroom, and closing the door.

Thank God for good friends… She thought as she closed, and locked the door. She didn't trust them for shit, and Tony opened the door on her once saying it was an 'accident'. She picked up her bathing suit and beginning to get dressed. Today she didn't give and shit, and she was going to run a muck.

Carpe Diem Man…

A/U : Next chapter will be very eventful as you can see from the end of this chapter. I know the last two chapters have been very sappy and all boo-hoo, but Ch7 things get a little wild… Reviews appreciated
