"What are we doing?" Natalie laughs a little as Casey blindfolds her, leading her across what she thought was the beach, but she wasn't so sure.

"It's a surprise." Casey grinned, pushing her a little.

Casey had shown up at Natalie's front door earlier that morning, and insisted that he had something important to show her. Natalie, of course, Argued and said she was tired and wanted to go back to bed, but Casey made her get out of the house.

"Are we there yet?" She asked for the tenth time since they left the house. Count of Natalie Braxton to be the most Impatient person in all of Summer Bay.

"Almost." He chuckled, walking a couple more feet, before starting to untie the blindfold, "Okay, now you can open your eyes."

Natalie slowly opened her eyes, expecting to have the sun shining directly in her face, but to her surprise, it was rather dim. She didn't even recognize where they were. The place looked amazing though. "Okay, what's going on?"

"Well, I kind of figured, since there's a lot going on at home for you, that you would need somewhere to be by yourself, away from your parents and school, and Seth too, since he never leaves you alone when you tell him to." He smiled, "So, Heath and Kyle helped me fix this place up and yeah."

"This is amazing." She nodded a little, looking around, "When did you even have time to do all of this?"

"I made time."

She smiled, looking up at him, "Thank you." She gave him a quick hug before walking around the room.

"You're welcome," He smiled, sitting down on the couch.

Sarah walked off the bus, and started on the walk towards the farmhouse. It had been a long day…again. Levi pestered her all day about talking to her parents about what had been bothering her, and she just couldn't get him to understand that she couldn't. As far as she knew, they probably still thought it was because of the move. Which it obviously wasn't, she didn't care about the move. Actually, she was glad they moved. Summer Bay was so much better than when they lived in the city. They only lived there for a year, but it wasn't as nice as you would think. It was too loud, and there were too many people, so the change was good for her. She knew Levi was right though, eventually someone was going to start questioning her weird behavior. She could tell Seth already knew something up, but he wasn't very bright, so he wouldn't figure it out for a while.

She walked up to the house; the car was in the driveway, so her parents had to have been home. She walked inside and immediately heard her parents talking in the living room. She wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone and just wanted to go to her room, and get some sleep or something, so she slowly walked past them, trying to go unnoticed…No such luck for Sarah.

"Hey Sarah?" Her Mum called.

She sighed, backing up, "Yeah, mum?" She faked a smile, hoping they would just leave her alone.

"We need to talk about something." Her dad said, gesturing for her to sit on the couch between them. Bad sign.

"I have some stuff to do for school." She said, hoping they would let her off.

"It'll only take a couple minutes."

"I have to get this done, it was due yesterday, and I forgot about it."

"You can finish it in a minute."

"I really don't feel good, okay? I just want to go lay down for a couple minutes." She said, making one last attempt to get out of having to talk to them.

"Sarah. Sit down."

She sighed, dropping her backpack at the door and walked over to the couch, taking a seat by her dad.

…This day was about to get longer.

Alexis sat up in bed, looking at her Alarm clock. It was nearly noon. Great, she had slept through half of school. No use in going now, right? She had to be at work in an hour anyway, so there really was no point in even trying to make it. Her parents were probably going to be pissed when they found out.

She stood up, grabbing a change of clothes off her desk before walking to the bathroom to shower.

She walked out of the bathroom, and bumped into Matt, stumbling back a little, "Oh, Hey dad." She smiled a little.

"Don't 'Hey Dad' me, why are you home and not at school?" He asked, crossing his Arms.

"I slept through my alarm."

"Uh-huh. Where were you last night?"

"Hanging out with Seth."

"Where?"

"The Diner."

"Diner closed at nine, where'd you go after that?"

"The Beach."

"So, if I asked Seth, He'd say he was there."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." She smiled a little, "Can I go now? I have to get dressed."

Matt nodded, walking out the front door.

Alexis waited until she knew he was gone before grabbing her phone of the table. She had a text from Harley.

Harley: 'Hey, I had a good time last night. We should hang out again. :)'

She smiled. She had a really good time too, and she wanted to hang out again, but maybe not so soon, or her parents would start questioning why she was hanging out with Seth so often.

Alexis: 'It was fun. We really should hang out again. :)'

Fun was an Understatement. It was quite possibly the best night of her entire life. She liked hanging out with Ryan and all, but it was nice to have someone else to talk to, and spend time with. Ryan and Sam were kind of Immature, whereas Harley wasn't. She could have a conversation with him without it ending with one of them getting picked up from the police station…and that was on a good day.

Ryan and Sam sat on the Dock, throwing rocks into the water.

"So, is your dad letting you borrow the car?" Sam asked, standing up and climbing over the side of one of the boats.

"I don't know, I didn't really ask him." Ryan shrugged, throwing another rock into the water.

"What about your Mum?"

"Who said we even needed to ask, Sam?"

"You don't think your parents would notice the car was missing?"

"They don't pay attention to anything anymore, I doubt they would notice." Ryan Shrugged, standing up and walking along the edge of the dock, "I say we just go."

"Or instead, I could call Isaac. I'm sure he wouldn't mind driving over here."

"Yeah right. Isaac hates coming here unless there's something in it for him."

"That's not true." A voice came from behind them.

Ryan turned around, smiling when he sees Isaac, "I thought you were grounded."

"Ah, I was. I told Dad I had a group project to work on, so he was more than happy to let me leave as long as I got something done." He grinned.

"What kind of group project?" Sam asked, standing on the edge of the boat.

Isaac rolled his eyes, shoving Sam into the water, "There is no group project you idiot."

Ryan laughed a little, watching as a couple girls walked past, "I don't know, they look like a good subject for a project."

"A man after my own heart," Isaac smiled, putting his hand of Ryan's shoulder as they start walking in the same direction as the girls, "Ladies!"

"Uh…guys? I can't get up..." Sam said, grabbing onto the side of the dock. "Guys? …Anyone?"

"What's going on?" Sarah asked, looking back and forth between her parents.

"Sarah, you know you can talk to us about anything, right?" Josh asked, placing his hand on hers.

"Uh, Yeah. I guess." She nodded a little, moving her hand onto her lap, "Why?"

"We know something's been bothering you for a while...and we want you to know whatever it is, you can talk to us," Evie replied, "We can help, Sarah."

"Nothing's wrong, Mum. I'm fine."

"Sarah, We know what happened." Josh finally said, causing Sarah to pull away from them a little.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said quietly, standing up.

"Levi told us."

"He what?" She frowned, backing away.

"He was just trying to help."

Sarah shook her head, grabbing her bag and walking out of the house, ignoring the sounds of her parents calling her to come back.

She couldn't believe Levi would betray her like that. He promised, she trusted him and he told her parents anyway, even when he knew how hard it was for her to tell him what happened. She thought he was her friend, but friends wouldn't do that to each other. What was she supposed to do? She couldn't go back home, not while her parents were there anyway. And she definitely wasn't going to go talk to Levi anytime soon. Maybe she could just walk for a while, clear her head or something.

Natalie opened her eyes, not remembering having closed them. She must have fallen asleep, how long had she been out? She looked around to see Casey on the other side of the couch, playing on his phone. "Case?"

He looked around at her, smiling a little, "Hey,"

"How long was I asleep?"

"A couple hours. Your Mum called though."

"Why didn't you wake me up?" She yawned, sitting up.

"You looked like you needed the sleep," He shrugged, "Plus, the sight of you drooling was the funniest thing I've seen all week."

Natalie rolled her eyes, hitting him with a pillow, "What did Mum want?"

"I don't know, I didn't answer. But Ash texted me asking if I knew where you were."

"What did you tell him?"

"That we were hanging out, and I'd make sure you were home before it got too late."

"I wish he would just leave me alone." She sighed, picking up her phone.

"He was just worried about you, Nat."

"I don't need him to be worried about me. I don't want him to be."

"Why not? I'm sure he only wants what's best for you, just like your Mum."

"Because He's not my dad!"

Alexis walked into the diner to grab a coffee before heading into work. She looked around as she waited, spotting Seth sitting at one of the tables, smiling a little as he spotted her. He stood up, walking over to the counter.

"So?" He grinned.

"So what?"

"Don't play stupid. How was your date with Harley?"

"It wasn't a date, Seth." She rolled her eyes, leaning against the counter, "And could you not say that when there are people around?"

"Sorry," He shrugged, "Well, if it wasn't a date, then what was it?"

"It was two people having going for a smoothie after work."

"Uh-huh," He nodded, "If that's all it was, why did I have to tell your dad you were with me last night?"

"What, did he ask you?"

"He asked what we did last night." He shrugged, drinking some of his coffee.

"What did you tell him?"

"That we were at the house playing video games."

"And he bought it?"

"Of course. Does this look like the face of someone who would lie?" He chuckled, pointing at himself.

"Yeah, actually it does." She nodded, grabbing her coffee off the counter.

"No, seriously. How'd it go last night?"

"It went.." A paused, trying to think of the right word, "Perfect. It went absolutely perfect."

"What was perfect?" Matt asked, walking up behind them.

Alexis quickly spun around, "Creeping up on me now? Not cool dad."

"I'm just here to get coffee for your mum." He shrugs, "what was perfect?"

"The-"

"A study method we figured out. Last night..when we got done playing video games." Seth said quickly, interrupting Alexis.

"A study method?" Matt asked, looking back and forth between the two, "Is that the story you're sticking with?"

"Mum said to always tell the truth." Seth nodded, looking over at Alexis, "Right Ali?"
"Right." Alexis smiled, taking a sip of her Coffee.

"Alright." Matt nodded a little, backing away, "I'll figure out what you two are up to, just know that."
Seth waited until Matt was out of the diner before turning to high five Alexis. "That was close." He laughed.

Alexis glanced down at her phone when she felt in buzz in her pocket.

Harley: There's supposed to be a bad storm today, Kyle said he was closing Angelos, so dont worry about coming into work.

"Looks like I'm heading home." Alexis shrugged, putting her phone in her pocket.
"I've got to go find Ryan, so I'll see you later, yeah?" Seth nodded.
"Yeah, see ya."

"Look, Nat. I get you're upset, but Ash isn't a bad guy." Casey shook his head, "He's trying to help you, He's been helping your Mum for a long time. Why cant you just give him a chance?"
"Out of everyone, I thought you would understand." Natalie frowned.
"Uncle Kyle wasn't trying to take dads place, he was trying to help. Just like Ash is doing," Casey replied with a slight shrug, "Just give him a chance, I'm sure you'll find out he's cool."
"How? What if he's all mad at me because I've been terrible to him?"
"Just say you're sorry. Tell him why you were acting like that. I'm sure he'll understand." Casey smiled.
"How is it that you've got the answer to everything?"
"Because I've been through it already." He shrugged, "You don't think I always got along with Kyle, do you?" He chuckled, playing with the strings on his Jacket hoodie, "I just had to get used to the fact that my dad wasn't going to be around and that Kyle was just trying to help."
"Dont you ever want to see him though?"
"What, my dad?"
Natalie nodded a little.
"Of course. All the time, but I'm not sure how I would talk to Mum about that." He shrugged, looking back down at his phone.
Natalie didnt say anything else, feeling like he didn't really want to talk about it anymore.

"There's supposed to be a storm coming. We should probably start heading home." Casey said after a moment, standing up.
"Yeah, right. Of course."
"Do you want me to walk with you?"
"You dont have to." She shrugged.
"I'm pretty sure Denny wouldn't be very happy if I let you walk home by yourself. Especially if it starts raining before you get back."
"Okay then, Yeah, I'd like that."
"I can walk you as far as the gym, but I have to pick something up for mum."
