We wound up going to a pretty secluded stretch of beach. As we all got out i noticed Ash and cal opening the back of the van.
"What are you doing?"
"We brought our instruments." Ash says, pulling out a guitar case and handing it to Luke, then another and handing it to Cal and then finally pulling out his acoustic drum box.
We all walk down the sand to the water and put out things down, they had towels in the car so we put them all down in a shady area under some trees.
"I'm going in the water anyone want to come?" Ash asks. Pulling his shirt over his head.
"We don't have swim shorts" I say.
"We always keep like 6 pairs in our van incase we have an impromptu beach day." he tells me, going to the bag he brought out and throwing a pair at everyone. There are no other people as far as I can tell so the boys all start to strip their clothes off and pull the shorts on over their boxers. All except Luke. I frown when i notice he's sitting on the blankets staring down at a book.
"Why is Luke just sitting there?" I ask turning back to the other four.
"He usually doesn't like to go in the water at the beach." Cal says. I frown again. Starting to think that there's definitely something wrong with this boy.
"Come on mikey we're going swimming." Jesse says. I nod and wave.
"Ya i'll catch up, i'm uh going to put sunscreen on." I say, walking up the beach to where Luke is sitting on the blankets under the trees.
"Not much for swimming huh?" I ask sitting down next to him. He jumps and looks up with wide eyes.
"Sorry" I say, feeling bad that i scared him.
"It's ok, uh what were you saying?" he asks, putting the book down.
"You didn't put your swim shorts on, not going in the water?" i say. He shakes his head.
"It's ok i prefer staying in the shade too, i'm allergic to the sun" I joke, earning a smile from him.
"So what are you writing?" i ask, motioning to the book he had. Noticing it was a notebook and he had a pencil in his hand.
"Uh, just songs" he says nervously.
"Can I see?" I ask quietly, trying to see if he trusts me. He just kinda stares at me for a while then gives a small nod, handing me the book. I smile and flip to the newest page in the book.
"Independence Day"
Oh Oh
You're telling me the same old story
And that I need to change
If you're not living my life for me
You make it feel that way
You know you know
We're losing control
I gotta break away
Or nothing's gonna change
You've got to go
It's the end of the road
No matter what you do or say
Baby, you're not what I need
I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
