A/N
Hey Guys, Here's another update. I hope you like this one. :)
Ryan turned on his side, glancing at his alarm clock. It was nearly midnight, but he still couldn't sleep. He stood up, walking across to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He walked across the living room, the lights in his parents bedroom were still on. He sighed, walking to the door, taking a deep breath before knocking quietly. He heard his mum say something, before footsteps made their way to the door and it opened, his dad standing on the other side.
"Ryan, what's up?" He asked.
"Is it okay if I talk to you and Mum for a minute?"
"Its late, can't it wait until morning?"
"Dad, its kind of important."
"Let him in, Andy." Hannah said, sitting up.
Andy opened the door, letting Ryan in before walking back over to the bed and sitting down next to Hannah, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, I wanted to ask you something."
"What's going on?" Hannah asked, patting the spot on the bed next to her.
Ryan nodded, taking a deep breath, "I've been thinking about his a lot recently, and I want to try to get my HSC early."
Hannah glanced at Andy before looking back at Ryan, "Are you sure about that?"
"Yeah, I've thought about it a lot and I think its what I want to do."
"Do you know how much studying you'll have to do? That's two years worth of study in a couple weeks." Andy shook his head.
"Yeah, I know, but I want to try." Ryan nodded, "I can do it."
"We'll talk to Zac in the morning and see what you can do." Hannah smiled, "Now, you should go get some sleep."
Ryan nodded, standing up and walking back to his room.
"Are You looking forward to tonight?" Chloe asked, sitting on the couch next to Sam.
Sam shrugged, looking at the TV.
"Oh come on, Sam. What's wrong now?"
"Levi came by the house this morning. He talked to coach this morning, and he's not only taken me off the team, but gave the role of captain to Levi."
"I'm sorry." She sighed, "its going to be okay though."
"No, its not. Sports was all I had, Chlo." He shook his head, "My grades suck, so this was my chance to get the scholarship to Uni, and it's all ruined."
"It's not the end of the world, Sam. You'll find something else."
"Can we just get back to practice?"
"Sure, we-" she sighed when the doorbell rang. She stood up, walking to the front door and opening it to see Harley holding Noah, "What are you doing here?"
"Is Alexis here?" He asked.
"Yeah, but you shouldn't be."
"I need to talk to her about tonight."
"What do you mean?"
"Her parents invited me over for dinner, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it."
Chloe shrugged, opening the door for him, "I think she's in her bedroom."
Harley walked inside, glancing at Sam before walking to Alexis' bedroom door.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me." Before he could even finish what he was saying, the door opened, and Alexis stood on the other side, smiling a little.
"Hey," She nodded, "What are you doing here?"
"I needed to talk to you about dinner tonight."
"Oh yeah, Mum planned the whole thing out. She said we'd probably have dinner here, and Dad's going to be here..obviously, but she's gone to go get some stuff for tonight, and it's going to be great." She Smiled, playing with Noah's hand, "I'm sorry, what were you going to say?"
"Nothing," He sighed, "Just I can't wait." He smiled a little.
"Awesome." She smiled, "I have to go get something, but I'll see you tonight?"
"See you tonight." He nodded, turning to walk back out to his car.
Sarah sat on the dock, looking out at the water, she looked around when she saw Casey, smiling a little when he walked over to her.
"I got your text." She said, looking back at the water when he sat down next to her, "Whats up?"
"I'm really sorry about last night." He said, looking around.
"No, it's fine." She shook her head, "I mean, your Mum walking in was really bad timing, and the ride home was really awkward, but it's okay."
"I thought she was going to be out later than that, and that we would have the house to ourselves and.."
"Casey, I'm actually glad your Mum got home when she did," She said slowly, "I know what you wanted to do, and I don't think I'm ready to do that yet." She shook her head, looking down at her hands, "I'm sorry."
"Sarah, you don't have to be sorry about it," He shook his head, grabbing her hand, "I don't expect you to do anything you don't think you're ready to." He smiled a little, "Okay?"
"Okay." She smiled back, looking towards the surf shop, her smile fading fast when she saw someone.
"Whats wrong?" He asked, looking towards the surf shop.
"What?"
"Who's that?"
"Who's who?"
"Who's the dude you keep eyeing over there?"
"I don't know..I thought he was someone else." She shrugged a little, hoping it was convincing.
Casey nodded a little, looking back to see the guy had already walked off.
"Hey, Casey?" Harley called.
Casey looked behind them where Harley had walked up behind them, "Hey harley."
"Could I ask a favor?"
"Depends, what is it?"
"Could you watch Noah tonight? I know it's kind of spur of the moment, but I'm seriously desperate." Harley explained, "Dad and Bianca asked me to watch him tonight, but I've got a dinner thing with Alexis and her parents."
"Sorry, I'm spending the day with Sarah."
"No, we can watch him." Sarah nodded.
"Are you sure?" Casey asked, looking from Harley to her.
"Yeah, it'll be fun." She smiled, standing up to take Noah.
"Thanks, Sarah." Harley smiled, "I'll text you when I'm heading home?"
"Yeah, sure." She nodded, watching him walk back towards the diner before sitting down next to Casey. She smiled at Noah, scrunching up her nose at him.
"Do you want to go to the house or something?" Casey asked, glancing at his phone.
"Sure."
Natalie sat in the diner, playing on her phone, when Harley walked up to her. She looked up at him. He looked upset about something. She laughed a little, "What's going on, Grumpy?"
"Did you get my text?" Harley asked.
"No, I.." She looked at her phone, several texts from Harley came in at once, "Yeah, I just did. Why did you need a babysitter?"
"For Noah. I was going to ask Taylor to, but she's dropped off the face of the earth, so she can't watch him."
"They'll be back soon."
"What?" Harley raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" She asked back, hoping he wouldn't ask again.
"What do you mean they'll be back soon?"
"Is that what I said? Oh well. I've actually got to get going."
"Nat, where is she?"
She sighed, not wanting to get her friend in any trouble, but she could tell Harley wasn't going to let her off the hook about that, "She went to the city with Drew."
"What? When?"
"She left yesterday, and told Heath and Bianca she was at my place."
"Why didn't you tell anyone? She wasn't supposed to go anywhere with him, Nat!"
"She asked me not to, what was I supposed to do?"
"Tell anyway! Dad's going to freak."
"Harley, you can't tell Heath."
"The hell I can't." Harley shook his head, walking out of the diner.
Sam and Chloe sat in the chairs Heath had pulled on the stage for them, looking around the restaurant. They had been going over a couple sons for the last could minutes, and Sam was starting to get annoyed.
"We start in a minute, yeah?" Sam asked, tuning his guitar.
"Yeah." Chloe nodded, going over the chords in the first song they had planned on playing. She looked around to see her Dad walk in, and start talking to Heath.
"You ready?" Sam asked, straightening his microphone up.
"Yeah." She smiled.
CHLOE:
Deeper, Falling deeper
Can't be rescued from your eyes
Restless, So damn restless
I won't let you off my mind
Timeless, You stand before me
Holding heaven in your hands
BOTH:
I, I'm not afraid
I can't explain
The way I'm feeling now
You, you fell from grace
Without a trace
My heart stopped bleeding on
SAM:
Patience, Losing patience
I just want you by my side
Trust me , Why won't you trust me
Just take my hand tonight
Beautiful, You're so beautiful
You don't even realize
BOTH:
I, I'm not afraid
I can't explain
The way I'm feeling now
You, you fell from grace
Without a trace
My heart stopped bleeding on
SAM:
I remember the day
When I first saw your face
The way you smile and just walked away
BOTH:
Yeah I remember the day
When I first saw your face
The way you smile and just walked away
ALEXIS:
Timeless
You stand before me
Holding heaven in your hands
Ohh
BOTH:
I, I'm not afraid
I can't explain
The way I'm feeling now
You, you fell from grace
Without a trace
My heart stopped bleeding on
I remember the day
When I first saw your face
The way you smile and just walked away
Yeah I remember the day
When I first saw your face
The way you smile and just walked away
Sam smiled as he played the last chord, glancing at Chloe who smiled back at him. She looked across the restaurant at her dad, who was talking to Heath and Harley. Heath looked like he was about to blow a gasket. He frowned, shaking his head as he walked out of the restaurant.
"That was awesome." Sam said, lightly shoving Chloes arm.
She nodded, looking back at Sam, "Yeah, it was." She smiled, "We should definitely play together more often."
"I'd love to."
"Are you ready for the next set?"
"Actually, I have to go to the bathroom really quick." He nodded a little, grabbing his crutches and practically hobbling to the bathroom.
He sighed, looking in the mirror. He didn't sleep the night before and you could see it on his face. He didn't really get mad about a lot of things, but he was angry that he couldn't play basketball, and it was really stressing him out. It probably sounded childish, but basketball...sports in general was his life. without it, he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do,
"Sam? Are you okay?" Chloe asked, knocking on the bathroom door.
"Yeah, just a minute." He said, shaking his head a little, He glanced at the door, grabbing the pill bottle out of his pocket, shaking the last two pills into his hand and quickly taking them before dropping the bottle back into his jacket pocket and walking out of the bathroom.
Sarah sat on the couch at Caseys house, playing with Noah. She smiled a little when he laid his head on her shoulder, looking up as Casey walked over and sat down next to her.
"Is he asleep?" He smiled, leaning back.
"I think so," She nodded a little, "Casey, can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Have you thought about going to see your dad?" She hesitantly asked, "I'm not trying to pry or be nosy or anything, I'm just kind of wondering."
"Oh...Uh, I guess. I mean, I wanted to see him when I was little..but I didn't know how to ask mum about it without upsetting her."
"So, you've never met him?"
"No," He shook his head.
"Do you want to?"
"I do..but.."
"But?"
"What if he's nothing like I thought he would be? What if he hates me because I never came to see him? What if he doesn't even want to see me?"
"Casey, He's your dad, He couldn't hate you."
"I'll think about it, but I don't know yet.."
"I know if my dad was in that position, I'd do anything I could to get a chance to see him." She said, rocking Noah a little when he started Crying.
Casey nodded, smiling a little, "You'd make a really good parent one day."
She smiled, looking down at Noah, "Yeah, maybe."
Harley walked up to the front door of Alexis' house, fixing his shirt and hair before knocking on the door. Alexis opened it almost immediately, frowning at him.
"What's wrong?" Harley asked, walking inside.
"You're late!" Alexis whisper-yelled, closing the door, "Dad thought you weren't even going to show up."
"Sorry, I had to care of a couple things. Bianca asked me to watch Noah, so I had to find someone to watch him tonight, then I found out Taylor left for the city with Drew, so Dad had to go find her."
"Harley, we could have rescheduled. I wouldn't have minded doing this a different night."
"No, I saw how excited you were when we talked about it this morning, I didn't want to mess that up." He shook his head.
She smiled a little, standing on her tiptoes and kissing him, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He smiled, kissing her back.
Matt cleared his throat, causing the pair to pull away from each other, "Dinners ready."
"Right," Alexis nodded a little, walking into the dining room, with Harley behind her.
Maybe the night wouldn't be as bad as they thought.

REVIEWS:
FrankElza: Really? A good surprised though, right?
Glad you're liking Casey and Sarah. You'll hear a bit about Mitchell here and there, but no big stuff until Chapter 13. :) Seth is very protective of Sarah, and I didnt realize it until my cousin pointed it out, but she said it reminded her a bit of the scene between Oscar and Josh.
Yeah, a Torn ACL is really bad, I know I did the same thing during 10th grade...its painful. But it's going to cause a lot of problems for Sam, as you can probably tell by this Chapter...or If you didnt, you'll get it later.
