Will's POV

I stood up in the water and walked back to the sand. Surfboard clutched tightly under my arm. I was soaking wet, but the afternoon sun felt good on my skin. My hair slightly in my eyes. I was annoyed with Sophie and Charlotte, though I really didn't know what they had been doing. All I knew was that Sophie's computer was broken and that Charlotte never wanted to see her again. I stepped on to the warm sand. And went over to my stuff. Laying down my surf board and drying my face.

"Hey," said a voice. I spun round and saw Zane. Wearing a short sleeved black shirt. ANd obviously expensive black trousers.

"Hi," I said back, grabbing some bottled water out of my bag and unscrewing the lid

"What you doing?" he asked. I shrugged and sipped some water

"Nothing much, you?" I asked watching him.

"Thinking," he stated. I kept looking at him. What was he up to? "You know Bella left Will?" he asked. I flinched slightly. I had been the only one who had given her some sort of goodbye. And it hadn't been a very nice one.

"Yeah," I said a little bit sadly.

"You should go to." he said. "Now that Bella is gone, and Emma is back, things should go back to the way they were.". I watched him, slightly amused. He wanted me to leave. Then he would have Rikki, he'd make Ash come back for Emma. He just wanted things back to the way they were. But as much as I pitied him. I didn't pity him a lot.

"Some of us have moved on Zane," I said smiling

"Please," he whispered. I looked up, he was upset. So upset. I didn't want to tease him anymore. I wanted him to be okay. I had this urge to be his...friend

"Zane, this is the way things are now," I said softly. He looked at me with sad pleading eyes

"You two were never meant to be together," he whispered, a slightly touch of venom covered his words

"But we are together Zane, and she's happy. Don't you want her to be happy?". He seemed to stop and think. I could only guess what he was thinking about.

"How much do you want?" he asked. I looked at him. What? He wanted to bribe me to dump Rikki? Wow he was crazy. No not crazy. Desperate.

"I don't want you money," I said. Meeting his gaze.

"What do you want then?" you could hear that he was indeed desperate in his voice. He was offering me anything? He did love Rikki. But he couldn't buy me away from her. "You only wanted her because I had her," he said. This made me angry, why? was it true? No, no it couldn't be true.

"Zane, let her go," I said stepping towards him. He watched me, guarded and careful.

"I can't let go of her, because she never left me," he stated angrily.

"Okay," I said moving back and picking up my bag, slinging it on my shoulder, then picking up my surfboard and holding it under my arm. "Live like she's still your Zane, but the rest of us have moved on," I said and walked past him, stopping just in front of him and placing an arm on his shoulder. "Sorry," Then I walked away. I don't know if he turned to follow, or just stood there, looking ahead, but I walked up the beach and only heard the ocean.

Lewis's POV

I walked down the street, bored. There was nothing to do. It was too early to go and see Cleo... I looked ahead and saw Will, making his way up from the beach.

"Hiya Will," I said cheerfully, I thought of Will as a friend now, although we didn't spend all that much time together, we got along.

"Hey Lewis, is Zane behind me?" he asked not turning around. I looked at him for a moment before glancing around him.

"No, no Zane," I said "Why?"

He shrugged

"You never know," he said and then walked by me. I frowned then walked down to the beach, where I saw Zane, sitting in the sand.

"Zane?" I asked walking towards him

"Lewis," he acknowledged me with a simple nod.

"You okay?" There was silence

"Do you think Will and Rikki are nice with each other?" he asked. I knew why he was asking, he needed someone on his side, someone to stick up for him whenever he confronted her.

"As long as there happy," I said quietly.

"Happy?" he almost yelled, I stepped back ever so slightly "Is that all the you need to be, Happy?" he yelled

"Whoa whoa Zane, calm down," I said "What's happened?"

He looked at me like I was totally clueless

"I should just get over it shouldn't I?" he asked, I was surprised, he wasn't muttering to himself, he was asking me. What I thought.

"Zane, there's some one better for you out there," I said, because that all I knew what to say

"Hey guys!" came a voice from behind us, where we saw Rikki heading towards us, wearing a big bright smile. Awkward, I thought

"I should get going, need to see stuff and all," I said before turning around and jogging away.

Zane's POV

I sucked it up and watched her come towards me. Let her go, let her go, let her go

"Hi," she said again

"Hello," I said shortly, she looked at me for a moment, with those familiar eyes

"Are you okay?" she asked, cocking her head slightly, in that oh so adorable way

"Fine,"

"Oh come on Zane, your starting to sound like me, whats up?"

I looked at her, she was beautiful, it had been a while now, since she'd chosen Will, so if I still thought of her that way, surely she made the wrong choice?

"You,"

"What?"

"You Rikki, its always you that's racing through my mind," I said admitting it, that I could keep trying as hard as I could, but it wouldn't be enough to get her out of my head

"I thought you mov-" she began to whisper

"Well I haven't Rikki!" I yelled "I obviously haven't moved on!"

"But you could do so much better," she stated quietly. I looked at her, she didn't love me anymore, I already knew that, well if she thought I could do better, maybe I should just go find a girl like Rikki, but better. And with that thought in mind I walked away from her. And it wasn't as hard as it should have been.
