A/N
Wow, I actually updated on time this time..I'm pretty proud of that. :)
Hope you guys enjoy!
"What do you mean you haven't taken your learners before?" Casey laughed so hard he nearly fell off the couch where him and Sarah had been sitting for the last hour.
"I haven't," Sarah shrugged, pushing him a little, "But only because I haven't had the chance. Everythings been so crazy in the last couple years, I just haven't thought about it."
"What about Seth? He doesn't have his either?"
"Nope. Mum said he wasn't getting his until I got mine."
"So, you're going when?"
"Later today, whenever Seth gets done with homework." She shrugs, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"So, how long do you think we have before he gets finished?"
"Oh, I think we have a little while." She smiled a little, leaning in a little to kiss him.
He smiled, kissing her back.
"What are you going to do today?"
"I'm not sure yet. Levi wanted to have a guys basketball day, but I'm not sure if anyone else is doing it." He shrugged, "I know Landon is, and Amber always plays basketball with us. Sam probably won't though, since his legs still acting up." He nodded a little, looking down at his phone, "Then Ryan's been MIA for the last couple days, something about studying, which is so not Ryan, so knowing him, thats probably a lie."
"Have you asked Josiah yet? I'm sure he could use some guy time while he's in town."
"I asked him, but He said he had something else he had to take care of today."
"Like what?"
"Probably with Natalie or something." He shrugged, "They've been spending a lot of time together since he's been here."
"Seriously?" She laughed a little, "I knew he had a thing for her, but I didn't think he would blow off basketball for her."
"Yeah, Levi was talking about that. He said everyone was ditching him for their girlfriends." He chuckled.
"Maybe if he weren't so annoying, he would have a girlfriend too." She shrugged.
"Why are you so mad at him?"
"He doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut about anything."
"Well, don't worry about him. It's totally normal for you to not like your cousin, I have like, four of them." He smiled a little, hoping she would smile back.
"You're lucky you don't have a brother to put up with...everyday." She smiled.
"No, I just have a cousin thats always at my house, annoying the crap out of me and Mum, everyday." He laughed, "But no, I totally get how annoying it can be living with Seth."
"It's okay though, because I have you."
He smiled a little, placing his hand on her cheek, "And I'm definitely not going anywhere," He shook his head, kissing her again.
"Hmm," She laughed a little when her phone started beeping. She pulled away, looking down at her phone, sighing a little, "That's Seth, I've got to go."
"I'll see you after?"
"Of Course." She nodded, kissing him once more before standing up and walking outside where her dad and Seth were waiting.
Sam stood in the corner of the diner, with his hoodie pulled over his head. He had gotten into an argument with Isaac a couple days ago, about Sam's medication. Isaac had said he wasn't sure if he would be able to get him anymore pills for a couple days, since people were already asking questions and he didn't want anyone calling the cops on him. Sam had gotten frustrated, and went to the diner.
"Hey Mate," Josiah said, walking up to him.
Sam groaned, "What do you want?"
"I'm waiting for nat, I thought I'd talk to you until she gets here." He shrugged, "Whats with the hoodie? It's like, Ninety-five degrees outside."
"Are you kidding me? It's freezing in here."
"No, it's not really," Josiah shook his head a little, looking around, "And you're sweating, so definitely not cold."
"Do you want something? Or are you just here to annoy me?"
"I just said I was going to talk to you until Nat gets here."
"Right,"
"How's Alexis?"
"She's fine." He shrugged, looking down.
"What about-"
"Dude, you don't have to yell."
"Sam, I'm not yelling." He shook his head, "Are you okay? You're shaking."
"No, I'm not." He said, raising his voice a little, "Is it getting hot in here?"
"Are you okay?" Josiah asked, slightly concerned.
"I'm fine." He said, starting to walk away. He swayed a little before collapsing.
Josiah knelt down next to him, checking his pulse, "Someone call an Ambulance," He said, looking around at the customers who stopped to look at Sam, "Now!"
Amber sat on a towel a couple feet away from the water, watching some of Ryan's friends goofing around on their surfboards. She smiled a little when one of the boys walked over to where she was sitting. She had seen him a couple times, whenever Isaac came around to hang out with Ryan, but she never caught his name.
"Hi," He smiled, dropping his surfboard down next to him before sitting on top of it.
"Hey," She nodded, looking up from her notebook.
"You're Amber, right? Ryans sister?"
"Yeah. You're Isaac's brother. I'm sorry, I never caught your name."
"Elijah." He smiled.
"I think I've seen you at school, You sit behind me in Mr. McGuire's class, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do." He laughed a little, "Where's your brother been? I haven't seen him in days."
"He's been studying for his HSC."
"Right, I think Cole said something about that a couple days ago."
"Yeah, he's taking it seriously for a change."
"I guess the HSC is pretty serious."
"Thats weird, coming from a riverboy."
He chuckled, shaking his head, "No, I'm not one of them. See, no tattoos."
"You don't need tattoos to be one of them."
"You don't have to live there and be one either."
She smiled, nodding a little as she looked back out at the Water.
Josiah sat in the hallway, while the doctor and nurses examined Sam, trying to figure out what caused the incident at the diner. He looked up as April walked over to him.
"What happened? Is everything okay? Are you hurt?" She asked, looking at him for any sign of injury.
"No, mum. I'm fine." He shook his head, "It's Sam."
"What happened?"
"He collapsed when we were at the Diner."
"What? Does anyone know what's wrong with him?"
"No. Or if they do, they're not telling anyone right now."
"What happened right before? How was he acting?"
"I don't know.."
"There was nothing unusual going on? He wasn't acting strange?"
"Well, yeah." He nodded a little, "He was shaking and one second he was talking about it being really cold, then he said it was hot. He kept saying I was yelling, but I wasn't. He got up to leave, and he just passed out before he got out the door."
Chloe ran up to Josiah and April, quickly looking around the hallway, "What happened? Where's Sam? Is he okay?"
"I texted her," Josiah said after getting a questioning look from April.
"Is he okay?"
"No, they don't know whats wrong with him yet."
"I knew there was something wrong with him, He's been acting really weird."
"Do you know why?" April asked.
"No, I mean, he had been talking to Isaac before, so you might have to ask him."
"You don't think he might have been taking anything, do you?"
"I wouldn't put it past him," She shook her head a little. She knew what April was talking about. She definitely didn't doubt that there was a possibility that Sam was using drugs or something like that, especially after his recent behaviour change.
"You two stay here, I'll go talk to the doctor." April nodded, walking down the hallway.
Casey bounced the basketball a couple times before throwing it at the basketball hoop, sending it straight into the net before looking around at Levi with a slight smirk on his face, "Have you always been this bad at basketball, or are you making an extra effort today?"
"No, My heads just in another place." Levi shrugged, grabbing the ball.
"What's going on?"
"Have you ever done something really stupid, and no matter how many times you say sorry, the person doesn't forgive you?"
"Are you talking about sarah?" He asked, taking Levi's silence as a yes, "Dude, you really pissed her off. Whatever you did, really made her mad, so maybe you should just back off for a while or something."
"She's never going to forgive me, Case. I've tried everything, and she still won't talk to me."
"I can't help you, mate."
"Could you talk to her or something? Maybe she'll listen to you."
"Nah, I don't really want her mad at me too, so I'm not going to talk to her about it." He shrugged, grabbing the ball from him and tossing it into the basket.
Casey turned around when he heard someone honking a car horn. He laughed a little when He saw Seth and Sarah.
"Did you pass?" Casey smiled, walking over to the passengers side of the car where Sarah was sitting.
"Yeah, but he wouldn't let me drive home." She rolled her eyes a little, gesturing to Seth.
"Did he actually pass?"
"Yeah, I did, actually." Seth grinned, patting the steering wheel.
"Everyone's going to have to be extra scared now that you're on the road."
"Please, I'm an awesome driver."
"Yeah, right."
"Hey, I haven't crashed yet."
"Yeah, but you've had your permit for what, five minutes?"
Sarah shook her head, getting out of the car, "I give him half an hour. He'll have the car totaled."
"See, for that, you two can walk the rest of the way." Seth grinned, starting the car again.
"You really think we wanted to be in the same car with you?" Casey joked, grabbing Sarah's hand.
"Your loss." He shrugged, driving off.
Casey looked back at Sarah after Seth drove off, smiling a little, "So, what are you doing for the rest of the day?"
"Uh, Studying probably." Sarah shrugged.
"Well, thats boring."
"I need to, and you should be too."
"Well, maybe we should try studying together." He nodded, "Unless you think we might get a little too distracted." He smiled a little.
"Nice try, but my parents are home."
"So, my place?"
"Casey, I was serious about the studying part." She shook her head, "We both have our HSC coming up, and really can't waste time."
"Wasting time? Is that what we're doing?"
"No, I didn't mean it like that."
"Don't worry about it," He shrugged, "I'll just go study at my place, and you study at your place."
"Casey,"
"I'll see you later." He nodded, walking away.
"No, no way. Sam wouldn't do something like that." Alexis shook her head, looking at Josiah, then Chloe.
"Face it, Ali, He was upset about not being able to play basketball anymore." Chloe nodded, "A lot of athletes turn to drugs after something like that."
"Sam knows better. Mum and Dad would kill him."
"Obviously they didn't know."
"Yeah, and how do you know?"
"He's been acting weird the last couple days and-"
"He's always weird, drugs have nothing to do with it." She frowned.
"Isaac told us, Ali. He's been buying it for him for a while."
"Isaac's a liar, how do you know he would ever tell the truth about anything?"
"Because I saw them twice. and No way would Isaac lie about something this serious." She shook her head, "April said that it would make sense, given his recent behaviour change, and what happened at the diner."
Alexis sighed, sitting down next to Chloe, "What are they going to do?"
"April said something about a rehab program here, that the doctor wanted to talk to Matt and Sasha about. See if they can get Sam in there before he hurts himself."
"So, he's going to be okay?"
"You'll have to ask the doctor about that."
Amber and Elijah sat at a table in the diner, eating dinner, since Amber's parents never came to pick her up...again.
"When were they supposed to come?" Elijah asked, taking a sip of his drink.
"Like, and Hour ago." She shrugged.
"Where are they?"
"Probably with Ryan or something. Mum hasnt left him home alone since him and Seth got arrested."
"Makes sense. Wouldn't want him to burn the house down or something." He joked.
"I actually wouldn't put it past him." She laughed a little.
"I could always walk you home, if you like."
"Yeah, that would be great." She smiled, standing up.
"So, do you surf?" Elijah asked as they walked outside.
"Me? No way." Amber laughed.
"What? Doesn't your dad surf?"
"Yeah, he does."
"And you don't?"
"I wanted to, but I just haven't really learned." She shrugged.
"Hey, I could teach you?"
"You want to teach me how to surf?"
"Yeah, I mean, if you want to learn." He smiled.
"I have to warn you, I'm not the easiest student."
"Well, lucky you, I'm an awesome teacher."
"Oh, are you?" She laughed.
"Don't laugh. I totally am." He grinned, "And you'll find out when I start teaching you."
"I never said yes."
"No, but I know you want to."
"Yeah, you're right." She nodded, "When can we do it?"
"Before school, probably." He shrugged, "We could start tomorrow and see how that goes?"
"Yeah, that would be awesome." She smiled, walking up to the door, "This is me. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"See you." He nodded, watching her walk inside before smiling wide, "YES!" He laughed a little, walking back towards the beach.
