"I can't believe we are doing this!"I exclaim.
We all stand in a line on the beach , the sand burying my feet and the sun reflecting on the shimmering water,only towels covering our bodies.
"Relax it will be fun"Ashley says hitting my shoulder playfully.
"Yeah , just resist the temptation to look at my-"
Jay Interrupts Ryan.
"I don't think you have to worry about that Ryan ".
I chuckle and Nick looks at me .
"You ready?"he tilts his head.
I take a deep breath and exhale.
"As I'll ever be ".
I know that line is so cliche but it's all I could think of that would not ruin the moment or make me sound like a wimp.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
We all release the towels , throwing them onto the wet sand and run into the water.I don't look either side of me , in fear of catching sight of something I will regret seeing.
I hear splashes all around me and I jump without thinking.
The cold water runs all around my body sending an electrifying num feeling buzzing over my skin and my hair becomes heavy.The salt water stings my eyes and my bandage becomes damp.
I swim up for air and open my eyes.
I see everyone swimming in the water except Nick.
Then i start to panic .
"Nick ?Nick?where are you?"
I swim to the shore and climb out And grab the closest towel and wrap it around me.
"Nick!"
I look all over but I can't see him.
Soon Ashley, Jay, Rebecca and Ryan swim to shore and approach the sand.
I don't know where he is.
I start breathing strange and feel faint .
No I'm not going to pass out I have to stay awake .
I'm so determined to stay awake that I don't even acknowledge the others as they climb off and dry off.
I hold on to a rock and keep my balance .
This can not be happening to me .

My mouth goes dry and I can't breath.
Stay awake.
No no this can't happen.
Suddenly I feel arms around my waist as I loose control of my legs.
I look up.
"It's okay ,it's okay".
It's Nick.
He strokes my cheek and I gradually start to recover .
I start to breath normally and everything clears.
"I was fine "I murmur shrugging my shoulders .
"Emma you weren't "he chuckles .
"I was just worried ,where were you ?"I ask gripping his arm.
"I was getting our clothes from the truck , I'm sorry I left you "he kisses my nose.
I relax and stand up.
"Em I saw you fall what happened?"Ashley asks with a towel covering her .
Jay staring at her , her wet hair and tanned body.
"I panicked that's all"I touch the bandage on my head .
"What a rush!"Rebecca shouts rushing over.
"It's was amazing I've never done anything like it "I admit .
"Me neither "Ashley agrees .
"Same here "Rebecca says as she dries her arms .
None of the boys speak.
"We did stuff like this all the time in high school"Nick admits shrugging his shoulders.
We all dry off and change in the restrooms near the beach .
I'm still a bit wet so my clothes stick to my body and I'm extremely uncomfortable.
We drive home in Nicks truck .
Me in the passengers seat with Nick driving and Ashley , Jay ,Ryan and Rebecca crammed in the back .
The palm trees gently sway as we drive past .
As we pull up onto the driveway there's a small red car already parked outside the garage.
"Oh god "Jay covers his face with his hands .
"What's wrong ?"I ask him.
"It's my ex girlfriend Claire ".
We all get out of the truck and wait.
Then a small curvy blond girl jumps out of the drivers seat .She is wearing a sparkly blue top and short denim shorts.On her feet are 4 inch red heels.
"Jay baby"she says in a southern accent.
"Claire why are you here?"he asks looking uncomfortable
"Babe I was wrong for dumping you we were perfect for each other why don't we give it another try"she pleads with puppy dog eyes .
"I'm afraid he's taken"Ashley interrupts.
"Excuse me who is this bitch?"
I could see the anger in Ashley's eyes .
"I am Ashley benson , fashion designer ,"she steps forward and crosses her arms "and Jays new girlfriend ".
"Jay is she serious ?"she pulls a diva face that makes me want too knock this bitch out .
"Yes she is serious "I step forward.
"Who are you ?"she looks me up and down like I'm dirt.
"Don't look me up and down bitch"I push her.
"Get your dirty hands off of me "she checks her nails.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that "Nick interrupts.
"Oh Nick it's you "she practically falls on the ground for him.
"Claire just go we're over"Jay sighs and shakes his head .
"But baby"she pleads.
He shakes his head and she storms up to Ashley and slaps her .
A red hand print is on her cheek.
"Oh I'm going to make your wish you were never born"she pounces on Claire.
Claire wasn't a good fighter so she didn't stand a chance against Ashley.
Ashley punched her in the jaw and Jay pulls her off of Claire.
"Baby it's okay"Jay tells Ashley.
Claire runs away jumps in the car and races off of the drive and leaves.
"Emma I didn't know you had that in you"Ryan says slinging his arm over my shoulder .
"Well I did clearly ".
Nick takes me and we all walk inside the house all together.
Now I had a group of best friends and I loved them all.

This is perfect.
