Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 31
I sat at an old log, staring at the fire that was blazing before my eyes.
There was a bonfire party at the beach tonight.
When Addison had informed me about the party tonight, I was planning on not going, just because it had brought me back too many memories of Harry.
But, Addison had also told me that she had something installed for me, a surprise.
So far, she was too busy dancing with Alex than to accompany me.
I raised the red cup that was in my hand to my mouth, letting the flat beer go down my throat.
I winced at the taste, but forced myself to gulp it down.
It was almost midnight now, and I hadn't done anything at the party accept for sit by the fire.
I got up, and tossed my empty cup to the nearest trash can.
I began to slip on my sandals, as I wandered my way over to the opposite side of the beach.
On the opposite side was a massive hill of rocks.
I bit back a smile, remembering when I first came here with Harry.
I carefully climbed up the rocks, holding on to them for protection.
Just as I was about to get to the top of the hill, my foot slipped from the rock below me.
I felt myself flying backwards, as I landed on the sand.
Luckily, the peak of the hill wasn't too far from the ground.
I wasn't badly injured, with the exception of the gauze I had on my knee.
I had scrapped it while falling down.
It stung, but it barely hurt, so I ignored it.
I sucked in a deep breath, as I tried again to climb up the rocks.
Without Harry with me, it felt almost impossible to reach to the top.
After a while, I had finally managed to get on the top without hurting myself any more.
The winds were stronger at the top, as my hair flew in different directions.
I wrapped my cardigan around me tighter, trying to get rid of my goosebumps.
From the top of the pile of rocks, I could see the entire view of the beach.
I took in a deep breath, as I took a sharp charm from my bracelet.
I carved into the rocks my initals, along with Harry's.
Around it, I created a heart.
I smiled, as I climbed back down.
"Colby! Where the heck were you?!" Addison asked, her eyes impatient and frantic.
I had just gotten back to where the lively bonfire party was, and Addison came rushing towards me.
"I was just walking around." I shrugged.
Addison huffed, as she pulled my arm.
"Come on, he's almost here!" she squealed.
I frowned. "Whose almost here?"
Addison's eyes widened, as she paused.
She looked like she had just told me something she shouldn't have.
"N-no one." she buffered, faking a laugh.
I rolled my eyes, as Addison led me towards Gerald.
Addison whispered something in Gerald's ear, causing him to stare at me with sympathy.
I groaned with irritation.
Why was it that I was always the one left out in their little conversations?
"Everybody, he's here!" Jason hollered, as everyone started to hush down.
"Gerald, what's going on?!" I snapped.
"Just wait." Gerald grinned.
Soon, a car pulled up towards the parking lot of the beach.
I saw a figure come out of the shadows, as everyone ran up to give him a welcoming hug.
I was left alone at the beach, wondering who the person was.
"It's so good to see you, again!" Dani suddenly perked, jumping into the male's arms.
