It's been a few days now since the whole ouija board issue and since then I have been stopping over at Colby's apartment because I'm to scared to stay at my own place.
I'm currently sat on the couch with Colby watching TV, Colby is sat on his phone
"Fancy going to the beach today with the others?"
"Yeah sure. We will have to stop at my apartment so I can get a swim suit. Really I should go back there, I can't keep sleeping in your spare room because I'm scared"
"No I don't mind. It's nice to have company" I laugh a little while nodding my head agreeing with Colby
"Yeah well tonight I'll stay at my place. After all I am still paying rent"
"Ok but you know your always welcome here and if you do get scared just text me"
"Thank you. Now come on" I stand up from the couch and turn the TV off.

We arrive at my apartment which still has the ouija board on my bed. I sigh looking at it then going to my closet to find a swimsuit
"I'll take it back to my place. I know a shop where they can deal with this board, I'll take it tomorrow"
"Burn it for all I care just get it out of my apartment" I laugh. I then go into the bathroom with my swimsuit in hand, getting changed when in there and putting my clothes back on over the top. I walk out the bathroom and into my living room to now see Colby sat on the couch on his phone
"Ready?" he asks while standing up
"Yep" I reply picking up my keys and we head out the door and in to the elevator.

We meet everyone else at the beach, I freaking love the beach. The way the sea crashes on to the rocks, the smell of the sea air and the breeze is so nice on a hot day like today. Since the Queen Mary I've hitting close to the boys, especially Colby as I've been staying with him over the last couple days
"Rose we've never really talked about how your actually a dancer have we?" Corey asks as we're all sat on a blanket eating food "when did you start to dance?"
"When I was three my mom had her own dance studio and she taught me"
"You've never talked about your family other than your brother" Sam says now kinda bringing the mood down, but everyone seems interested
"Rhys was my family. My mom passed away when I was 11 and my dad just didn't care about me after he got remarried. I have a half sister, but she's daddy's little girl. The year before I moved to LA my dad, stepmom and sister went on holiday. They didn't tell me so one day I came home after rehearsals and the house was empty. I text my dad to see where they were and he replied with 'took the family on holiday, sorry forgot you. There's food in the fridge' Rhys was out of town with a friend so I was alone. I mean I was old enough to take care of myself but it's the fact he forgot I was part of the family. Want to know the worst part of all?"
"What could be worse?" Colby asks
"It was my birthday"
"Wow no offence but your dad seems like a jerk"
"Oh he much worse Jake, but that's why Rhys and I moved. Rhys was my family not them"
"Sorry that happened to you" Tara says
"We're you family now" Kat pulls me in to a hug
"Thank you"
"Thank you Rose for sharing, but I think it's time to head into the water" Kevin yells standing up
"We've just eaten" I laugh
"Oh yeah" Kevin sits back down "in a bit then?"
"Yes in a bit"
"So what was your mom like?" Devyn asks
"Well she was beautiful. She had bright blue eyes, long blonde hair and never had to wear makeup. Mom was young when she had me, only 22. Dad was a bit older he was 28. Mom was 19 when she had Rhys"
"Wow so when she died she was only in her early 30s?" Kat gasps I nod my head
"Yeah my dad was always horrible to her, he ended up cheating on her and got her pregnant, hence my now evil stepmom and half sister"
"Are you in touch with them?" Sam asks and I shake my head
"Not really. They will call every now and then go have a go at me so now I just ignore them"
"Maybe you should have a go at them back?" Jake chuckles
"Why would I waist my breath? Anyway, I need someone to take a picture for Instagram" I stand up
"I'll do it" Colby says getting up from his space
"Thanks. Let's go at find somewhere nice" Colby and I walk off away from the others and we both take some pictures for Instagram.
