Discovering
Destiny
Chapter 4 part 1: Aislinn's
P.O.V.
“Aislinn! Oh my gosh, are you okay? I’m so sorry! We
had no idea you couldn’t swim! I tried to stop Brad, I
should’ve--”
“Michelle, it’s okay. You didn’t know.
It’s not your fault. I’m not mad; it just scared me,
that’s all.” I tried to shrug it off but in all
honesty I was still really shaken up about it.
“Okay, if you’re sure. I’m just so glad
you’re okay!” She threw her arms around me, and I
could tell we were going to be fast friends. At least I hoped we
would. I could go with or without Brad, though. “Do you
want to grab some lunch? I could show you some good places on the
boardwalk.”
“Rain check?” I smiled hopefully and she looked kind
of hurt. “It’s nothing you did! It has nothing to do
with you!” I tried to reassure her.
“It’s… I’ll tell you about it some other
time.”
“Okay, see you soon!” She said as she let me go on my
walk home. I turned toward the lifeguard chair and saw Ryan
staring at me. Well, it looked like he was staring at me, but I
couldn’t tell because of is sun glasses.
“Grams, I’m home!” I yelled as I walked through
the door. I’d decided I wasn’t going to tell her what
happened today. I didn’t want her to worry over nothing.
“Want me to make grilled cheeses?”
“Sure, dear that sounds yummy- oh Aislinn, what’s
happened to you? Why are you all cut up?” She fussed as she
examined my head and arm. I had forgotten about those when I
planned on not telling her.
I sighed. “I met some kids and they thought it would be fun
to go for a swim. It wasn’t so fun for me.”
“Oh dear, are you alright? Why in the world would they do
that?”
“Don’t worry Grams, I’m fine. Really. And they
didn’t know, it’s not their fault. I was too
embarrassed to tell them… I didn’t want to explain
everything.”
“Oh, sweetie I’m
sorry.” She said as she hugged me close to her. “How
about I make the grilled cheeses?”
