Until
I met
you.
Chapter
Two:
"Issac, you ready?" I jumped out of bed,
groggy and drool half way down my chin. I stood up rubbing my
eyes. "Ready for what?" I slumped my way into the
bathroom looking at myself in the mirror, and at my wild-like
hair. I grabbed my toothbrush, and brushed my teeth as John
explained more. "Well, you party pooper, you bailed on us
last night to sleep, so today we're taking you down on the
beach to meet some of our friends." I spat the minty foam
into the sink, taking a sip of water into my mouth, and
swishing until I spat that out as well, wiping my chin and
smilinf at myself in the mirror. "Well I guess I look okay
enough to be seen in public." John threw a pair of socks
at me, and I went to get dressed. I grabbed a pair of jeans
looking at them, not wanting to wear shorts, and yelled to
John. "Will you judge me if I wear jeans?" I heard
his feet running closer to me and into my room. "You
better not wear jeans." I shrugged. "I could always
go in a dress." He sighed. "Wear jeans if you
absolutely need to, but at least wear a tanktop." I
giggled, pulling a pair of gray swim shorts out of my bag.
"I came prepared John." His gray eyes sparkled.
"How adorable. But seriously hurry
up."
I ran downstairs after
checking my dark brown hair to make sure it wasn't a mess.
I ran by the kitchen and out the door, grabbing anapple.
"You guys ready to go yet or not?" I smiled as I ran
and put on my green, worn out converse still walking to the
car. Soon Grace and John came out. "Buddy, why you by the
car? The beach is like 5 minutes away." I facepalmed
myself and grunted. "Forgot!" Which, believe it or
not I actually did. I took a bite out of my apple and paused
for a moment. I looked back at John and Grace, who just stared
at me. "What? Did you forget something?" Grace
started laughing, and John just started, confused. I spat out
the apple. "PWAH! Dude. Toothpaste+fruit= NO!" We all
laughed. Walking down to the beach was fun, until I tripped
over someone's leg. "Oh my god, I am so sorry!"I
hear in a deep subtle voice. I get up and wipe the sand off of
myself. "No, it's fine, is your leg okay?" I meet
eyes with this really tall guy as he stands. "My leg is
fine, Barely felt a thing." I awkwardly laughed, looking
up at him. "Well, I'm sorry, be careful next time
alright?" I nodded, and finished walking and looked
around, there were barely any people. "Guys, if you tell
me your friends are dolphins, I am going to lose it." They
smiled and sat down by the shore. "They'll be coming
any minute."
After laying in the
sun for about an hour, I heard people approaching, and Grace
getting up and squeeling. "Bev! Nolan!" I sit up and
slowly turn my head to these two people whom Grace was running
to. Bev, was a girl, a "tanned skin babe" is what
John had whispered to me. She was tall, probably about as tall
as me. Her eyes were a golden brown, she had freckles, and her
hair was as blonde as can be. She was wearing one of those
skirts that look like overgrown scarfs around her waist, And a
two piece bathingsuit. Nolan was her twin brother, but he had
short brown hait, and obviously he didn't have boobs.
"Who's this?" Bev asked, in her low pitched,
excited voice. I started to stand, extending out my hand.
"Issac." She giggled, and introduced her brother. He
seemed to be the "too good for you" douche bag type.
"You need to work on your tan, hun." Bev said to me,
grabbing at my arm. "But your muscles are
perfection." I scratched the back of my neck, letting out
a soft laugh. "Well thank you." I looked down at
John, who was smiling, and winkking at me. I just felt
extremely uncomfortable, to be honest. "You got a
girlfriend?" I looked at Bev and smiled. "I
don't." She giggled again, and nudged me. "You
want to go for a swim?" I nodded, taking off my shirt and
walking down into the water, it couldn't hurt.
"Don't splash me!" I didn't plan on it, why
would I do that? It's rude. The water was so cold and
refreshing. I could feel the hairs on my legs standing up, and
the goosebumps covering my arms and back, a wave nearly knocked
me down, covering my body in the cold, salty water. Bev walked
up to me smiling and looked at the water dripping down my face.
"You sure know how to make a good impression of
yourself." She grabbed my arms again, looking at the huge
scar on my forearm. "Rad, what happened there?" I
hesitated, not knowing how to explain it. "Well, my
friends dared me to jump off the school..." I felt like an
idiot, who just jumps off of a school? "Thats
awesome." I messed my hair up a bit, "Not really, the
scar is from landing on my principals coffee mug." She
laughed, and touched it. "Gotta be careful around coffee
mugs." I smiled, showing my white, slightly over bitten
teeth. "Yeah." Another wave came by, just pushing me
forward a little. "I beat that waves a**" Bev
laughed, asking me to save her. "What do you mean?"
She winked, going farther into the water. "I don't
think you should do that." She went under a bit giggling.
"Help me Issac, I'm drowning." I laughed a bit as
well, "Drowning people don't have time for full
sentences." She went under again, grabbing my upper leg,
which instantly made me flinch, making me go under. I kept my
eyes closed, as much as possible, not being one for keeping his
eyes closed for too long, and as I try to kick my feet off of
the sand, there wasn't any and I instantly saw siren
lights, and my mother's face as she took her last breath.
And next thing I know, I see the sky, and Bev in the back,
laughing at me. "I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh
guys. The doofis can't swim!" I got up, pushing the
girl that was over me lightly and out of the way, moving past
everyone. "Bro, you okay?" I stuck my hand out, and
he backed down, I walked into John's house, and into my
room, tearing off my clothes, and getting into dry
ones.
I opened the book my Mom had given me
again, looking at all the pictures that were inside, and the
letters my birthparents had written me, just in case anything
had happened to them. I flipped through, page by page, almost
in tears. A picture of me and my birth mother, at a school
play, I was a frog. My dad, fishing, and me reading a book, not
interested in fishing at all. Why did she give me this book?
Didn't she know it would hurt? I went to the final page and
couldn't help but smile, reading the inscription.
"We're not blood, this is your blood. Thank god for
these people, without them I wouldn't have you. It's
unfortunate how I got you, but everything happens for a reason.
You were so happy then, and I've tried every day since to
make you that happy. We may not be geneticly connected to you,
but we are your family." And underneath is a picture of
me, Nina, her husband, and our three dogs. I
smiled.
I almost wished I
could get back home, but I really want this. I want to be here.
I put my shoes back on and walked back down to the beach, and
up to John and Grace. A few more people were around by now.
"Hey stunna, you back now?" I winked at John.
"Only for you baby." He laughed at me. "Oh!,
forgive me. This is Dana, Kobe, and Joel. Guys, this is
Issac." They all shook my hand and looked over at Bev, who
was standing at quite a distance. "Don't worry about
her, she's a b*tch." Kobe said to me. I shrugged.
"Oh hey, who was that girl standing above me." John
sat up and looked at me, half smile, eyes squinted, and
motioning his head back. "She's the smoothie
girl."
