Cameron POV
On our way to the beach, listening to music, I let my mind wonder.
"Shit" I mumbled to myself. Summer took her hand off the stirring wheel and turned down the volume on the radio.
"What's wrong?" She asked, concern written all over her face.
"I forgot my sweater at your house" I said angry with myself for leaving it.
""That's fine you can get it after the party" I sighed and looked out my window.
"I know but it's just that it's…" I stopped before finished.
"Your moms," Summer says finishing my thought for me, "don't worry, I'll make sure I get it to you by the end of the night." I could see Summer glancing at me from the corner of my eye but I refused to move my gaze.
"Thanks" I said just loud enough for her to hear.
The rest of the car ride was driven in silence except for the exception of the music coming from the radio.
Once we pulled up to the beach, Summer parked the car and cut the engine. I could see from the corner of my eye that she was staring at me.
"Hey if you've changed your mind we can just head home now" I sighed and closed my eyes. When I reopened them, I plastered a bright smile on my face and looked at Summer.
"Are you crazy? I didn't come all this way to go back" Summer searched my eyes before smiling herself.
"Good because I really didn't feel like missing out on this party." We both laughed and started getting out of the car. Standing up I saw a guy squinting his eye's in our direction than waving in my direction.
I looked over at Summer to see her waving back. Looking back at the guy, he looked at Summer confused until directing his attention back in to me. I than recognized the guy to be Jake.
My heart started pounding in my chest and I told myself I just imaged it. But once I looked over at Summer to see her staring at me giggling, my heart ached for her.
Walking forward, following Summer, she took my hand and started to head in the direction of Jake.
Standing in front of him, I looked back and forth between Jake and Summer but no words come out of either of them.
"Hey Jake." His head turned towards me and his smile grew wider.
"Hey Cammie, I never thought I would see the day I caught you at a party. I thought you were to cool for this kinda stuff." He nudged me playfully and I laughed. Just as I was about to defend myself Summer cleared her throat catching my attention.
"Oh sorry I didn't see you there umm… sorry I don't know your name?" Jake said a little surprised to see Summer standing there.
"Summer, were on the same swim team?" Her furrowed his eyebrows still confused and then a look of recognition came over his face. I breathed a sigh of relief while letting out a light laugh.
"Oh yeah, you're that girl that sits on the bench every day and just watch's us!" I caught my breath and turned to Summer. Her cheeks were burning in embarrassment.
"I…I…" She looked from me to Jake before turning and bolting away. I gave an apologetic smile to Jake before running after her.
After 15 minutes of searching, I finally gave up and grabbed 2 corona's and headed down the beach, away from all the noise. I passed a few couples making out or half naked before finding a spot with no one around.
Starring out into the ocean I just listened as the waves crashed against the shore. Sip after sip, I could feel myself drifting off and felt the angry starting to boil inside me. Angry that I was ditched by Summer. How could she just leave me like this, It wasn't my idea to come here in the first place.
Finishing off my first beer, I opened the next one and looked back out and around to all the houses.
"Hey" I jumped at the sound of Jakes voice, almost dropping my beer. I turned to see him wobbling his way towards me.
"I've been looking for you everywhere!" he slurred to me. Coming closer he plopped himself beside me while roughly putting an arm around me. I surprised myself by giggling.
"You sound really, really, drunk." Amusement sprang across his eyes as he looked at me.
"Well Darlin, I could say the same about you" Again I giggled. Inside I felt all bubbly and giddy but didn't understand why.
Looking at Jake I watched as his eyes traced every part of my face before lingering on my lips. Slowly and steadily as my giggling stopped, he leaned in until our lips crashed against each other. My hands found their way to Jakes shaggy blonde hair, tangling it in between my fingers.
I could feel my heart beating a million times per second and I had a funny feeling that I was doing something wrong, but no, that didn't stop me. Of course the sound of her voice did.
"What the Fuck" pulling away from Jake, I looked up to see a blurry Summer. My breath caught and I opened my mouth to speak.
"Don't even give me any of your bull shit!" Tears were already starting to stream down her cheek at every word she said. I watched as Summer ran away from me.
I scrambled to get up but when I found my feet she was too far away.
"Summer wait!" I could feel the hot tears against my cheek, "…I'm sorry" I whispered knowing but hoping somehow she heard me, but she didn't.
"Cammie…" Jake pulled on my arm to get my attention, I tried to ignore him.
"Cammie." Jake said a little louder and pulling harder. I turned my head towards him.
"What" I snapped, pissed off.
"I think we should call 911" I wrinkled my eyebrows at him and followed his eyes. A house on the other side of the beach was light up so bright you could see the house's around it. Wobbling a bit I squinted my eyes until I finally understood what I was seeing. The house was on fire, but this wasn't just any house, it was my house.
I felt as if the world around me stopped moving and there was no more air to breath. I lost my sense of where my feet were and collapsed into the sand. I could hear the faint voices of people gasping and yelling to get help. I didn't care because the only thing I could think of was that Clair and Mark were in that house.
I jumped up and bolted forwards, pushing myself, telling myself, don't stop. I could hear Jake's faint voice calling after me but I didn't listen.
The wind pushed against me in the opposite direction, so I ran faster. My trips and stumbles slowed down but I kept going.
As I neared my house, I came to a slow jog.
"Clair! Mark!" No answer, walking a little closer I called again.
"Clair!Ma…" An explosion so loud and so powerful hit me, knocking me off my feet and sending me towards the ocean. Lying on the ground I held my hand out in front of my face to protect it from the flames. My eyes slowly got heavier to hold open and everything was spinning around me.
"Clair…Mark" I croaked out knowing no one heard me. My vision was blurring but I tried to focus. Than from the corner of the house a figure stood, leaning against the house, just standing there, watching.
"Cammie!" It was a faint voice but I didn't pay attention I just focused on the figure, fighting to stay awake. But then the house, the beach, everything was gone, leaving me along to fade. The last thing I remembered was the figure slowly disappearing behind the flames.
