Bax pov
When I woke up my head was pounding
" well that's what I get for drinking "
As I was pressing my palms over my eyes I got a text. I flipped over the phone to find it was from summer
" what could you possibly want "
I groan as I open the message
' Bax please respond we're all worried just let us know you're safe '
"Little Miss Perfect Summer toress "
I tossed my phone on the bed and got up and I sucked in a harsh breath when I opened the curtain and then the window. I was leaning against the ledge of it when I heard a somewhat familiar voice
" JJ please just pick up the phone I I just wanted to make sure you didn't accidentally fall off a bridge again "
" again "
I whispered wondering how someone falls off one in the first place. I saw as the waves were starting to get bigger so despite my hangover I got ready for the surf and went down to grab some food and find a spot to go.

I met some local guys and I convinced them to take me to a good spot only the locals would know it did cost me an Australian note but it's fine. I was sitting just watching the others when I noticed that brown and blond hair from last night. She killed it on a wave and I got near her and said
" Are you stoking me "
She made an almost disgusted look at me and turned to get away from me
" wait I'm sorry I'm Bax "
With a sigh she said
" I'm Kie "
I smiled a little that name fits her
" I'm sorry about last night I was a little drunk and well the reason I'm even on this island is shit but I'm sorry Kie "
After a few seconds, she said
" fine I forgive you I'm also here because of some not-so-good reasons "
She had a sad smile on her face and I knew mine was holding that same stance.
" hey let's not focus on that ok let's just focus on the waves "
" Yeah "
After an hour the waves started to die so we both went to shore. As soon as we were past where the waves would kiss the sand they laid down looking at the sky and I followed but sure not to be too close
" so where are you from "
" what "
With a laugh she said
" Where did you run from "
" oh a little town called Shore Haven in Australia "
" the outer banks North Carolina "
" Is there good surf there because you were so good out there "
" it's ok I mean when a storm is coming in then we get good waves my friend John B always says that there's nothing like surfing on the edge of a hurricane "
" That's like stairway so dangerous but the best wave you'll catch in your entire life I haven't done it but man would that be a story "
" yeah I've been too scared to try it he and JJ just play fast and loose with their lives"
Her face twisted a little when she said JJ
" hey I've got an idea let's not talk about our real lives and just be here ok "
" that sounds great "
