chapter 4
--------------------------------------------
"So... Chase. What do you do for fun?" Mave asked the guy sitting next to her.
"Uhh..." He shook his head like he was snapping out of a trance. "We go surfing. That's fun."
"Oh... cool." Mave said unenthusiastically.
"We have to go. My mom, uh, said to be home by 9:30." I said glancing at my phone to make sure I got the time close enough to right. It was 9. Good.
I could easily lie, just a good trait I got from my dad.
I stood up and dusted the sand off my butt and Mave did the same.
"See you guys around." I said and we walked back home.
"That was the most awkward thing ever, Mave." i said.
"I know, Iknow. You really shouldn't cave in to me. I have bad ideas." Mave quickly spoke.
We bickered at eachother teasingly all the way home.
"Hey, when Kit comes home, come wake me up. I want to know how her date went." I told Mave while walking up the steps to my room.
I still felt car-lagged from my trip, so I wanted to go lay down.
As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
I woke up in the morning angrily. I wanted Mave to wake me up when Kit got home!
I stormed down the stairs only to find that no one was home. I went to the kitchen and looked at the fridge becuase that was where we agreed to put our "we went out" notes. Sure enough, there was a note saying that they went out for breakfast.
I turned around and looked at the clock on the microwave. 10 am. Perfect time to go to the beach.
I slid into my rainbow bikini and walked down to the beach. It was so hot, though. On my way there, I was sweating like a dog, and I'm not the kind of person who sweats. I had to wipe my face on my towel so much that it was soaked by the time I got there.
I walked across the boardwalk to the beach and I laid down my towel. Just as I was laying down, I heard someone call my name. I moved my gaze up to an attractive guy with blonde hair, green eyes, tan skin, and abs.
"Aubrey, hey!" The guy said.
"Hey... sorry, but do I know you?" I asked, trying to not sound like a butt.
"It's Chase, from last night. Am I really so bad that you forgot who I was over night?"
"Oh... nonono I just didn't recognize you. I'm really sorry." I looked down at the sand.
"I was just kidding. It's okay, it was dark. Sorry about last night, being awkward and all. I'm not right around those guys. They're not my friends, they just invited me to hang out becuase we have mutual friends.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"It's all good. Don't worry about it." I smiled at him.
"You wanna go in the water?"
I nodded and we raced out into the blue sparkling sea water.
We swam around, floated, splashed, and jumped waves. It was fun. I really felt like Chase and I were connecting, even though we were barely talking, just laughing.
Suddenly, the lifeguard whistles started going off. I snapped my head towards shore and saw them dancing around. I never saw them like that before. I got scared. I started swimming towards the beach as fast as possible.
"Aubrey, stop. Stop right now." I stopped in my tracks. He was being really serious.
"What's wrong?" I asked, my bottom lip quivering.
"It's okay. Just let the current take you, it's getting really strong. Don't fight it, just float. There's sharks." He calmly said.
I don't know how he was being calm. We could die. I noticed that the waves died down, thankfully. But then I noticed that we were far from shore, too. I was going to die, I was going to die.
I started to float on my back and I closed my eyes. I pretended I was in a pool, floating on my back, the sun beating on my stomach. And for a second I actually believed it, until I felt something on my foot. The shark. I couldn't sit still after that. I thrashed around and tried to get to the beach.
"Aubrey! Stop!"
And that's the last thing that I heard until I went under.
-------------------------
I woke up in a dim room. I groaned and rubbed my head. I had a major headache.
"Aubrey? Aubrey can you hear me?" A familiar voice asked.
I nodded my head and rubbed my drowsy eyes.
"Where... Am I?" I asked, completely forgetting the situation.
"Your in the hospital, baby." Kit whispered.
Then everything rushed back into my mind.
I groaned some more.
I opened my eyes and looked at my body. I had a cast on my foot and my knee was stitched up.
"What happened to me?" I asked Kit.
"The shark brought you under. It snapped the bones in your foot and cut your knee up pretty bad. I guess you also hit your head on something, too, becuase you have a minor concussion.
It wasn't too bad, not too bad at all.
A nurse stepped into the dark room.
"Aubrey, you can leave whenever your up to it. You will just be on crutches for a few weeks, but we fixed your foot enough that it shouldn't be too long.
Wow, I was lucky to be alive, let alone crutches for only a few weeks.
I told her thanks and she gave me crutches.
"I'm ready to go, Kit." I told her.
She helped me up and we went outside to her car.
"You know, you had me, Mave, and some guy named Chase worried sick. All they would tell us was that you were in surgery, but they didn't say it was just your foot. We thought it could have been anything. Don't ever do that again." She rambled on.
"I know, I'm sorry."

chapter 2
--------------------------------------------
"How do I look?" Kit said walking down the steps like they do in the movies.
Mave and I exchanged looks then nodded. "Beautiful."
She was wearing light wash skinny jeans and a white sweater with purple sleeves. She was going to the movies, so it was casual enough, but she still looked amazing. Her hair was perfect and she barely had any make up on but it was enough to make her eyes pop.
"Thanks guys. Well, I'm off." Mave said as she strided out the door.
"I'm happy for her. It's been a while since she got to relax and go on a date."
Kit was one of the smartest people in our grade so she was in all the AP classes. With the AP classes came studying and stress and all that fun stuff. Sometimes I forgot how smart she was because she didn't act like those creepy nerds that had their noses in books where ever they went. But I'm happy now because she can go out and relax.
"So what do you wanna do, Aub?" Mave turned to me after Kit's new boyfriend, Nate as we later found out, pulled out to go to the movies.
"I don't know, we have the whole boardwalk. Wanna go check it out?" I asked her.
I guess I should fill you in on some important details. Mave, Kit, and I just turned 18 a few months ago. Mave first in March, Kit in April, and me in June. Then, we bought a lottery ticket and miraculously won 5 billion dollars. With that, we bought this house in California by the beach. We all wanted to go to a college in Cali because we wanted to be Marine Biologists, and Cali was the perfect place. So, we all decided to wait a year to enjoy our lives as teens for a little bit. Well, I guess that's about all you need to know.
"Why, of course." Mave said to me and started running up the stairs.
I chased after her then went to my room. Mave definately was back to her old self, and I was glad that she was.
I threw on some non-slu/ty jean shorts, a hollister shirt, and some flip flops.
I walked out of my room and looked at Mave. She was wearing jean shorts and a half shirt with a tank under it.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
We walked down to the boardwalk laughing and having a good 'ol time.
There were bright signs advertising ice cream shops and pinny stores and amusement parks. I wanted to stop at all of them, but Mave wanted to go to the bonfire down on the beach. I didn't even see it, but I was practically blind in one eye so I couldn't see as far as she could.
"Come on! Please! I love bonfires so much!" She begged and begged.
"Okay, okay. Let's go." I caved in and she smiled. She loves it when I cave, she always gets something out of it.
She dragged me down the boardwalk and we were at the bonfire in no time.
"Mave, you know I hate talking to strangers. Especially if we're asking them if we can join them." I told her, pulling her back a little bit as we stepped onto the sand.
"I know, I'll ask. You just stand there and look pretty." I couldn't help but giggle. I'm just stupid like that.
"Fine, go."
She ran down the beach and I trailed behind her.
When I got closer, I noticed that it was a bunch of guys, of course.
"Hey guys..." Mave started twirling her hair around her finger. "Can we join?" Mave started fake flirting.
"Sure, fine with you guys?" One of the guys asked all the other guys sitting around the fire. There was a bunch of mumbling and nodding in approval.
"Well, I'm Mave." Mave started.
"Aubrey." I said while plopping down on sand.
The guy that let us join spoke up. "I'm Chase, that's Justin, Cory, and Matt." He pointed around the circle at the guys. I couldn't tell what they looked like in the darkness and the firelight flickering on their faces made it no easier.

chapter 1
--------------------------------------------
I closed my eyes and breathed in the hot summer air.
I started walking up the driveway to the new house.
"Aubrey, Don't you dare go up there empty handed!" One of my best friends, Mave, screamed at me. She wasn't always like this, usually she was the nicest person ever, but not right now. She didn't get much sleep on the 3-day car ride and I think it was about that time of the month.
"Yeah, yeah. Sorry, Mave." I walked back to the care and picked up some of my bags and proceeded back up the driveway.
I stop at the door and stare. My new house.
The door was white with black iron stakes around it and a small window at the top.
"Well, you gonna open the door, smarts?" Mave tapped her foot behind me.
"Okay, I'm sorry." I pushed open the unlocked door and stepped in.
It was like the tundra in there. Cold air blasted me in the face, and it felt good.
I looked around the room. We entered into the living room. The stairs were directly in front of the door and the dining room and kitchen were in the doorway to the left.
There was dark brown hardwood throughout the house, which I loved. I always loved it, I don't know why, I just did. I turned my head to the living room and inspected it. It had white walls with dark furniture and a fluffy white carpet underneath the furniture. It looked nice and modern. Perfect.
"Hey, Mave. I'm gonna go check out my room." I informed her then started up the steps.
I looked at the four rooms that I could choose from, one that was a little bit small, but cute. One that had all of my absolute best friend, Kit's, stuff in it, one that looked exactly like what Mave would want, and one that looked awesome to me. It had lime green walls and the dark brown hardwood floors with green trim. I also brought an orange comforter that would look nice with those colors. There was a white dresser and a white nightstand and above the dresser was a huge mirror. I walked over to it and dropped my bags with a loud bang. I looked into the mirror at my bright blue eyes. Then, I looked at my chocolate brown hair. It was a complete mess. It was usually perfectly straight, but it was a mess now. I guess that's what happens when you're in the car for 3 days.
I turned away from the mirror. "Hey, Mave! Where's Kit?" I screamed down the stairs to Mave.
"I dunno. She didn't leave a note or anything." Mave yelled back up to me.
That wasn't like her, she always told us if she was going anywhere.
"Did I hear my name?" My door cracked open and Kit popped her head in.
"Kit!" I squealed and ran over to her. I haven't seen her in 2 weeks because she came early so she could clean and get the furniture that was being shipped. She was my absolute best friend. I mean, I love Mave a lot, but I love Kit a little bit more. We were friends since kindergarten.
"So, what's up, Aubs?" She giggled at me and we released eachother.
"Nothing much. You wanna help me unpack?" I asked her, hoping she'd say yes.
"Sorry, Aubs. I'd love to, scratch that, I would hate to. But I have a date." She suddenly got very interested in her bare feet, but then she glanced back up at me as if asking of my approval.
My jaw dropped. Kit never went on dates. She was beautiful with her gray eyes and black hair and flawless pale skin, but she played hard to get. A little to hard to get, in fact.
I closed my mouth and laughed. "My Kit.... has a date? That's great!"
"Yeah, yeah. Does it really surprise you that much?" She started laughing.
"Tell me everything!"
We plopped down on my bed and she started talking.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't written in a while. I really
don't like this story. My friend wrote a lot of it becuase I
gave her my password and she has been writing a lot without me
knowing. I haven't logged on for like... a month maybe? So,
I'm just going to write a different story and hope that I get
at least a few readers. Thanks for everyone that was reading that
story, though. My friend said that she was surprised that people
were still reading it... Anyway thanks!

chapter 17
The doctors said that they would measure my arm and see what they could do to find a prosthetic. Then they released me. Cole came and picked me up when he heard that I needed a ride. He knew my dad couldn't get me.
"So, how do you feel?" Cole asked me as I got into the car.
"Fine I guess, considering my arm is gone. I can't believe it happened that fast." I sighed and sank down in the cushy seat.
I guess you could say I was still in shock. I hadn't told Ben yet and I told dad not to. I wanted to show him in person. I hoped he wouldn't think I was weird because really, nothing has changed. It's just that society has taught him differently. Society taught him that anything out of the ordinary is wrong, messed up. I just hoped that wasn't the case here.
We got home and Cole asked me if I wanted him to stay, but I told him to just go home. I needed to talk to Ben alone, and he understood that.
I walked inside and Ben was waiting to greet me.
"Marley, where have you been? I had to take care of daddy all by myself, no help from you at all. And you didn't tell me you were going to be gone for a few days. And you wouldn't asnwer your phone. What is wrong with you?" He huffed out all at once.
This wasn't exactly how I wanted to present my arm to him, but I had to.
"Ben, look at me." I lifted up my arm, well my stub.
His eyes widened. His jaw dropped.
I told him the whole story and he just sat in silence. I guess he was in shock?
He nodded and said "Marley, I love you no matter what. Arm or no arm. Don't worry I can help you through it. I love you." He got up and walked into the kitchen.
I think he was the smartest and most nicest, yes I said nicest, little kid ever. I enjoyed my little speech that I got from him.

chapter 18
I woke up with bright lights surrounding me. I didn't know where I was, who I was, for a couple of minutes. My eyes just curiously scrolled around the room until I felt the pain in my arm. It snapped me out of it. I knew who I was and I knew what happened. The shark bit me. I looked down at my arm and didn't see it. It was gone. My arm was gone.
I started crying a little bit. I was a righty, and my right arm was gone. I would have to be left handed. It would be so much harder now.
"Marley, you're up!" I looked over and saw Shawn sitting in the chair next to my bed.
"Hey." I blandly said. I wasn't in a very good mood.
"Look, I'm really sorry about what happened..."
"It's okay. There was nothing anyone could do, it was just a bad situation. I just need you to do me a favor, tell me what exactly happened. Are Lynn and Todd okay?"
He nodded his head.
"Todd had to get 17 stitches in his foot and Lynn's fine. You got it worst. But uhh, I saw you go under and a rush of adrenaline just pumped through me. I ran out of there and dove in for you. By the time I found you, you lost a lot of blood and your arm was gone. So was the shark. I just brought you back to shore. That's about it." He rubbed the back of his neck and told me the whole story.
"Wow. That's amazing. You saved my life. I lov- I mean, I uh really appreciate it. I'll make it up to you." I almost let it slip out of my mouth. I wasn't even sure if I liked him, but it almost came out.
Just then, a terrible pain shot up my arm. I screamed.
"Nurse!" Shawn shouted.
I nurse came in and injected something into my arm. I started to drift off to sleep.
"I love you too." I thought I heard shawn whisper. I was falling asleep, though. I might have heard him wrong.

sorry, boring. It needed to be done.

"Marley, are you okay?" Shawn said after turned around and saw me fall.
I picked my head out of the water and spit out a fountain of sand.
'Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." I was so mad right now. How fr/aking stupid could I be?
I just fell in front of my new friends. They were going to think I was a completely uncoordinated person, which I wasn't. It was just that it wasn't my day.
i picked myself up and told everyone that I was just going to head home.
Shawn stopped me. "Don't go! We were just starting to have some fun!"
"Like me tripping and falling in front of one of the hottest guys in school?" Whoops. Didn't mean to let that out. Crap, today just wasn't my day.
"You think I'm one of the hottest guys in scho-" Shawn didn't get to finish his sentence. We heard screaming coming from the ocean.
It was Lynn. Shawn and I immediately started running out to where Todd and Lynn were standing. There was a pool of blood surrounding them.
We were a couple feet from them and I could see that they were in shock. I didn't know what happened, but whatever did, it was serious.
"What happened guys? Are you two okay?" I started saying as I was within talking distance.
"Stop! Marley, stop where you are!" I didn't register what they were saying until I was right next to them.
Whoops.
"Marley, there's a shark. Don't move. Don't move." Todd calmly told me and I stood as still as I could. I was terrified of sharks.
"Guys, there's blood. The shark... Who got bitten?" I asked.
"I did." Said Todd. "It's my thigh. I'm okay, though."
"Guys are you okay?" Shawn screamed from really far behind us. I guess he stopped earlier than I had when he saw the blood.
"Yeah, just leave. Shark!"
"Guys, be careful, don't move! I'll tell the guards." Shawn started running out of the water while us three just stood there.
"Is it still here?" I asked.
"Yeah, I can feel it. It's a few feet away from us. High tide's coming, too. We won't be able to stand for much longer. I just want to say that you two were good friends. Marley, I know I just met you, but you are the funniest, most georgeous person I know. I really l-" Lynn started saying goodbye. It didn't make me feel all to great.
"Stop, we'll be fine. Just stop." Todd said.
Then, I felt a sharp pain in my hand.
"It's got me" I managed to say before going under. That was the last thing I remember.

chapter 16
Today, Todd, Lynn, Shawn, and I were all going to the beach. I managed to get their numbers over the school year and texted them to see if they wanted to hang out. I guess Cleo couldn't come, but that was okay.
I put on my cutest bikini that I had. It was a strapless black top with a black and white polkadotted bottom. It showed off my tan skin that I managed to get with my time being here and my curves. I pulled on my white cover up and headed downstairs. I saw Ben playing his gameboy that he loved.
"Ben, listen to me." He paused his game and looked up at me. "I'm going to the beach with my friends. Cole might stop over, but don't answer the door for anyone else. Make sure that dad doesn't get up and if anything happens give me a call. My number's hanging up on the fridge. Got it?"
"Sure, Marley. Just go, I'm busy with my game." He whined at me.
"Hey, I'm serious. If anything happens to you or dad, you're dead." I tickled him and he started to roll around on the floor.
"Okay, continue your game, but watch dad. Please."
I walked out the door and saw Shawn walking up my driveway.
"Oh! Marley. I was just about to come get you. I figured you would want me to show you where we usually meet. Just so you don't get, uhh, lost." He bit his lip and looked up at me. "I hope that's okay." His ice blue eyes popped out against his dirty blonde hair. His dark tan skin glowed. He wasn't wearing a shirt, only his bathing suit, and his abs were sticking out. I couldn't help but think he was amazingly beautiful.
"Yeah, that's perfect. Thanks so much!" I giggled and walked down the driveway.
Since the beach was only a few blocks away, we just walked. It only took a few minutes, but those minutes were great. We talked about funny stories we had at school. When Cole and I had a cookie dough fight, when he fell off the top of the ropes when he saw his old crush and broke his leg. I remembered that, I was there. I didn't realize that it was so bad, but I did see him fall.
We were getting close to the beach. The boardwalk was only a few feet away. "So, do you have a girlfriend?" Shawn asked me as we walked up the board steps.
"Nah, I'm single. I have a lot on my plate. I don't really have time for one right now. Not that anyone would like me, anyways." Seriously, I have too much on my plate? Did I have to sound that stupid?
"I would."
"You would what?" I questioned him. I knew what he was talking about, I just wanted him to admit it.
"I would like you." He started walking a little quicker when we stepped onto the beach. I just stayed a few feet behind and smiled like an idiot.
I didn't realize it until now, but I really liked him. A lot.
Shawn managed to get far ahead of me and I ran to chase him. Not a good idea. I tripped and landed flat on my face. I stood up, brushed myself off, and continued. Thankfully Shawn hadn't seen me. I finally caught up to Shawn and saw that Todd and Lynn were setting up the towels and chairs.
"Hey guys!"
"Marley! I have missed you soo much! What's up girly?" Lynn said excitedly
"Nothing much. I'm glad you guys invited me to join you. Thanks!"
"Oh no problem. Glad you're here." Todd flashed his pearly whites at me.
Todd wasn't too bad looking. Not fabulous but not bad. He had blonde hair that he gelled up in the front and brown eyes. Lynn was georgeous, though. I was jealous. She had blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes. She was the perfect size, not too skinny, not fat at all. Her skin seemed to have no flaws at all. She looked like a beautiful barbie, not fake, but just beautiful.
"So, you guys ready to hit the water?"
"Yes!" We all screamed in unison.
We all raced out to the water and I tripped head first into it. This just wasn't my day.
