I wake up smelling bacon and pancakes.

"Mmmm." I mumble opening my eyes and getting up walking downstairs my hair a puffball like always.

I arrive downstairs and grab a plate "good morning." I say

Aunt Maggie smiled "you might want to fix that mess before we go surfing." She laughed

I touch my head "yeah I'll do that now."

I run upstairs and bump into a little kid "oh sorry!" I say "what's your name?"

"Aubrey." She whispers

"What are you doing here?" I ask

"I'm supposed to come here to get breakfast." She said

"Oh here do you want me to help you?" I ask

"Yes please my mommy died and I'm supposed to come here to get food now." She said in a quiet voice

Aster walks out of his room "Bri!" He exclaims picking her up quickly "your here!"

I smile "can you get her breakfast I need to fix..." I point at my head "this."

He nods carrying her downstairs

I smile and go into my room brushing my hair and getting my bikini on putting a summer dress on over it and walking downstairs.

Aubrey sits at the kitchen island eating in tiny bites.

I sit next to her "Hey Bri have you ever had Aunt Maggie's cinnamon rolls."

Bri shook her head "I haven't."

I smile "they are the best here try one."
She takes a small bite "Woah." She says

"I know right." I giggle "go on have more."

She smiles taking another bite

Asher waves me out of the room and I follow him

"She lost her parents when they drowned in the sea and she's been alone ever since." He explained

I nod slightly "poor thing."

Asher nods "Mom is going to adopt her." He whispers in my ear
I gasp "she's always wanted a girl! I mean... she loves you but. Ignore that."

Asher blinked at my rambling "anyway she's going to be so happy- the both of them actually"

I giggle "let's go surfing!" I shout in his ear suddenly

He jumps back "why every time Rox?"
I giggle and run back into the kitchen

He follows.

I grab one last piece of bacon then grab my board "Ready?" I say excitedly

Aunt Maggie smiles "yep." She puts her cooking stuff away and grabs her surfboard as Asher grabs his.

Aubrey gets up "I have to go." She whispers

Aunt Maggie nodded walking her out

I smile at them then run out with Asher following behind me.

We arrived at the beach and I put sunscreen on as Asher dives in without sunscreen
"What are you doing?" He called from the water

"Putting on sunscreen stupid." I say finishing and jumping in splashing him

He growled and tackled me laughing.
I laugh and we grab our surf boards.

I had forgotten how much I loved being in the water but surfing again helped with that.

I fall into the water as I hit the sand and laugh.

A few hours later we get out and walk up to our tent that Aunt Maggie set up and grab some watermelon.

I bite into it and juice drips down my chin.

Aster smiles wiping it off for me.

I smile warmly at him. His face goes pink for a second.

I notice but brush it off.

Aunt Maggie smiles "Did I pick a good watermelon?"

I nod "definitely this is so good!"

Hayley walks down "heyyyy!" She smiles brightly

I hug her "want to swim?" I ask

She nods "OF COURSE! RACE YOU!" She runs to the water

I run after her.

We smack against the waves laughing.

Hayley tackles me.

I shriek as I hit the water laughing.

We play around then get out to get our surfboards going out far until there was big waves that went over our heads.

We got our boards and rode the waves laughing our hearts out until we couldn't anymore then somehow laughed even more.

Hayley sighs as we sit in the wet sand letting the small waves tickle our toes.
"We have to plan for the pageant!" She smiles

"Oh no not that again!" I sigh lying back letting my hair get dirty

"Yes that again." She laid next to me "At least pretend you'll enjoy it!"

"Ok yay wow the pageant is so exciting" I say sarcastically

She hit me softly "hey that's not what I meant."

"Fine... well actually for the pageant I would like a blue dress. With long sleeves. Oh and I would like butterfly's and a light material."

She smiles "I can do that!"

I sit up "wait really?"

She nods "Have you seen the things I made? Seriously the clothes I send you I make!"

I stare at her open mouthed "really? I wear those all the time!"

She giggles "Yeah I make all those!"

I stand up realizing people were starting to leave and run to grab my phone from up at our tent.

I check it realizing two things.
1 it was 5 already
2 I got a billion texts from my ex and friends and a video someone tagged me on

The video was of me in the hospital crying softly to myself.

I stare at it "who posted this?" Then I check my texts friends first they are all like
'Oh my you had cancer OMG I'm sorry!'
Yeah didn't tell many people
'OMG EWW YOU HAD CANCER?' Said one of them from who I thought was my best friend

Then I check the one from my ex

'Hey Baby I know I cheated on you but I saw that video and I feel so bad'

I slam my phone onto the wood piece.

Hayley runs over "hey what's wrong?"

I shake my head "let's just pack up And go-"

She nods helping with the tent "Where did Maggie and Asher go?" She smiles trying to change the subject

I smile trying not to think about the video "guess they left us here." I go to find the bag which had blown away.

I come back seeing Hayley checking her phone.

"Roxie. What did they say to you about this video?" She said in her 'no secrets' voice

I show her my phone not looking at it

She reads them aloud but quietly "Roxy, your not thinking about going back with Alex are you?"

I shake my head "definitely not!" I grab my phone back "this is between us ok?"

She nods and we start to walk back to the house.

"Oh do you mind if I have a sleepover with you?" Hayley asked "things are a bit rocky back home."

I nod "of course you can come! Do you want to talk about your family?"

She shakes her head "no thanks."

"I get it only good feelings!" I say brightly.
