"Alright Nina. The competition is tomorrow." Seth told her. "Don't be stressed, don't be nervous because we got this."

"You're the one pacing." Nina remarked with a smirk.

Seth stopped and gave her a look. "Okay well, I can't help it."

"I understand."

"Okay well, let's get to training."

"Now, how long are we going to train?" Nina asked, arms crossed.

Seth held his right arm up. "I swear, we are only going to train a couple of hours. Then, you can spend the whole night with Andrew and rest up before the competition tomorrow."

Nina smiled at him. "Thank you, Seth. That is so nice of you."

"It's my way of giving you a break." Seth smiled back.

"Alrighty!" Nina cheered, putting her arms up in the air. "Let's go train and master these lifts!" She ran into the water.

Seth laughed and followed.

Xxx

After a couple of hours of training, Seth and Nina washed up on shore.

"Let's take a break to recharge and then we'll go back." Seth told her, standing up.

"Okay."

"Let's take all the time we need and drink a lot of water." Seth told her.

Nina suddenly collapsed on the sand.

Seth didn't think too much of it. He thought she was just tired and she had done it yesterday. "I'll pick us up some water bottles alright?"

Nina didn't answer.

When he didn't get an answer from her, Seth went over to her. "Nina?" He shook her.

Nothing.

"Oh my god." Seth started to panic. Was she unconscious?! She was still breathing. What was he going to do!? Not leave her here that's for sure. He picked her up bridal style and walked towards the hotel.

Xxx

Seth ran into the lobby in panic. "Somebody! Somebody help!" He cried. He was worried for Nina. He didn't know what to do. Was there a nurse office in this place? His eyes immediately went over to the front desk.

Wait.

Where the hell was Baumer? And Johnny? The front desk was empty and clean, except for one colorful paper. Now Seth was getting scared for Nina. His gaze shifted over to her. She was still unconscious. Maybe she could get sick after being in the water for so long. He then looked around the lobby.

Nobody.

What the hell?

He looked into the DR.

Nobody.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE?!" Seth growled. He was getting pissed off now. Did people tell him where they were going? Why was no one here?! Someone should be here to prevent something like this!

Wind blew that colorful paper right near his feet. He glanced at it.

THIS WEEKEND - 100th anniversary festival in town 9:00am-11:00pm

Seth raised a brow. Now it made sense why no one else was on the beach. Someone would have noticed Nina collapsing. Wait, Nina wanted to go to this event…but they had to train. He had to make it up to her somehow.

Seth glanced at the time written on the paper. "11?!" He glanced at the clock. 5:00pm He started to panic. Were they going to be out that whole time? When he heard murmuring and saw that the doors to the hotel opened, he sighed of relief.

Baumer was the first to go through. When the first thing he saw was his girlfriend unconscious being held by a shirtless guy who had a panicked expression, he dropped everything he had in his hands and ran over to them. "Nina!"

Startled by the noise, the guests looked over at the unconscious Nina.

"It's alright everyone. She'll be okay." Johnny told them, as each staff member started to enter the hotel. "Please go to your hotel rooms." He had to get them out of here. He didn't want them to have to worry. Johnny, with the help of Broseph and Reef, began escorting the guests back to their rooms.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Baumer asked, moving a wet strand of hair away from Nina's face. He was worried as well. "Call the ambulance!" He carefully took Nina into his arms.

"Yes sir!" Kelly ran over to the front desk and dialed 911.

"We were surfing and when we washed upon shore, she suddenly collapsed." Seth explained. "I then picked her up and ran to the hotel as quickly as I could." He added.

Emma and Finn entered the hotel. When they saw Nina, they ran over to her as well. "Sir, what happened?!"

"I should have stayed here." Baumer said softly.

Seth frowned and looked down. "It's not your fault."

"Sure it is."

Seth looked up at him.

"If I had stayed here in the lobby," Baumer started to say, eyes watering. "-she would have gotten help right away." He finished, voice breaking. Tears were also falling down his face. "What if something bad happens to her?"

"I'm sure she'll be okay." Seth assured, putting an arm on his shoulder.

The ambulance came right away and brought them to the hospital.

A couple of hours passed and Nina was still unconscious. Baumer was sitting at her bedside, waiting for her to wake up. "Nina, please." He begged. "Wake up." He took her hand in his and kissed it.

Seth opened the door to the room. "Hey, I brought us some food."

"Not hungry." Baumer replied, still staring at Nina.

Seth left Baumer's sandwich on the table. "Save it for later then." He unwrapped his and began eating it.

"You think she'll wake up?" Baumer asked.

Because he was still chewing, he wasn't able to respond right away. There was still quite a bit of food left to chew so he took his time doing that. He didn't want to be rude however and gave a little response. "Mhm."

"When?"

Seth swallowed his food. "I don't know." He quickly responded and took another bite.

Baumer sighed.

The door opened and the nurse came in. "Visiting hours are over, boys. I'm afraid you'll have to leave."

"Leave? I can't leave! I want to stay by her side until she wakes up." Baumer told her. "Please!" He begged.

"Is this your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

The nurse smiled. "Alright. But can you leave the room? I'm going to do some tests on her and see how she's doing."

Baumer nodded. "Okay." He got up to leave.

Seth stood, threw the wrapper in the garbage and followed Baumer outside.

The boys stood outside of the room.

"I'm sorry that this happened." Seth broke the silence.

"It's fine."

"I didn't want this to happen."

Baumer turned to him. "What were you planning to happen?"

Seth held his arms up in defense. "Nothing bad!" He replied. "I didn't intend for this to happen. I didn't realize that this was hard on her. She even told me that this might happen and…it did. Maybe the training was hard on her but she didn't want to tell me."

"She should have." Baumer said. "But that's the type of person she is."

"I hope she wakes up by tomorrow."

Baumer's head spun towards him so fast that Seth jumped. "What? Are you kidding me? You actually think that she's going to be surfing?"

"What? No!" Seth responded right away. "There is that festival she wanted to go to that is in town and it's only there for a couple of days. Didn't you know that?"

"Yes, I did know that because I arranged for them to stay in town for those couple of days!"

"Okay good, you can take her then."

Baumer looked away.

"Look, I obviously am not going to surf with her tomorrow. She needs to rest and recover." Seth told him.

"What about the competition?"

"I'll find someone else." Seth responded. "Or maybe I won't even compete at all."

"How come?" Baumer wondered.

"My friend is in the hospital because of me and I want to make sure she's alright." Seth replied simply. "I love surfing but I can't be someone who puts surfing over the safety of his friends."

"Thank you."

"And I just want to say sorry in advance."

"For what?"

"Whatever my father does."

The nurse came out of the room. "All good boys. You can come back."

Baumer and Seth nodded.

"Let me know how she is." Seth told him and walked towards the exit of the hospital.

"Will do."
