EVER SINCE INDIE WAS over the age of ten, no one brought the topic of a beach or a lake.
not only will it lead of tears, but not just the tears of the girl.
mary lou, matt, nick, chris, justin and jimmy all cried at the memory of nine year old indigo Stewart.
what happened to her on that winter day was something no one would want to relive.
indies small feet hit the floor of the sand as she hums to you are my sunshine.
it was freezing but she couldnt care less, she loves the beach.
stepping onto the frozen sea she giggles softly.
"you make me happy, when skies are gray." her soft voice perks.
"indie!" matt yells as he runs down the small sand hill with toys in his arms.
"look matty the waters frozen." she yells flaring her arms spinning on the ice.
"be carful!" mary lou tells the girl next to her sons as they walk down.
"oh dont worry about me i c-" indigo was cut off with her high pitch scream.
she falls into the freezing ocean as the ice under her feet did nothing but hurt her.
"indie!" the whole family scream as they all start sprinting to water.
indigo try's swimming up onto the surface but she couldnt find the cracked ice.
her eyes search for the not smooth ice while screams under.
"indigo!" jimmy yells as they all land next to the water.
All reaching their hands trying to find the pale girl.
the redhead stopped trying feeling her arms get weighed down and eyes begin to close.
indigo isabelle stewart never talked of that day since then.
because deep down she knew how terrible it will get.
but indie loved the beach, she truly did. in fact when she was little she had a plan to live by it, you know with her kids and husband, but thats never gonna happen.
and she just wishs that she would have known when the last time was gonna be the last time.
but the girl wasnt ashamed of her phobia in fact she really told anyone before they made plans so they dont take her somewhere with bodies of water.
so you could imagine her surprise when jolene dawson told them that she booked a beach house for all of us.
her heart basically jumped out her chest as she looks around.
but of course jolene already paid and indie wasnt a dickhead.
so there they all were.
nate, jolene, matt, chris, nick and indie all hauled in the minivan driving to the destination.
"im so excited." jolene claps her hand from her seat next to matt who was driving.
they all laugh.
indie gulps her saliva down her throat.
feeling a small hand place on hers.
looking up
it was chris.
he smiles a delicate smile she does one back.
"lets put taylor." indie laughs to them after a while reaching over to the front seat.
"here ill put-"
"indie i cant see!" matt yells to the girl pushing her back to her seat.
"oh right sorry." she tells chipping her nail polish.
they arrived.
and oh god was the house beautiful.
"oh brother." indigo mumbles under her breath while shoveling her luggage in the place.
"nice huh?" jolene placed her hands on her hips turning to the teens.
"amazing." indie mumbles.
"lets go to the beach." nate stated.
indie looks around.
"dont- dont we have to put our stuff in our rooms or something?" indigo asks shakily.
"no leave them here we'll come back in an hour and settle in." matt told the girl grabbing jolenes hand and running oit.
the others follow, but indie stays.
was matt even realizing how hard this was for her?
she never understood it.
ever since middle school, it was jolene this jolene that.
dont get indigo wrong, jolene was absolutely stunning.
her bright blue eyes that shone while talking, or the magic touch she has that makes matts eyes go haywire.
but have you ever thought of it?
why he actually fell for he?
was it her smile?
but indie knows hes seem more beautiful, charming smiles.
was it her intelligence?
but indies sure hes met much smarter people.
was it her hair?
i mean indie has ginger wavy hair, why is it different?
"lets go carrots." nate runs back in grabbing her hand.
she didnt like the nickname off his tongue.
watching all six teenagers splash around in the ocean was like torturing indie.
she just sat there and watched all of them jumping and giggling without her because she was a pussy was like hell.
"hey." matt comes to sit next to her.
he goes to grab a drink from the cooler and indie couldnt help but
stare.
his hair all wet as well as his body, and the swimsuit that lifted on his waist, with the small patches of sunbrun growing to him.
a gulp goes down her throat as butterflies try breaking free from her stomach.
he looked so clean, so rich, so expensive,
so hot.
she didnt even realize him turn around and smirk.
"take a picture huh, itll last longer." matt laughs at her opening the can of rootbeer.
she snaps her head.
"god your so self centered." she laughs softy as he sits next to her.
his eyes watch jolene as she plays in the water.
and indie watchs his eyes watch the other woman.
"y-you think she likes you?" indie asks him bringing her legs up to her chest.
"who, jolene?"
she nods.
"well, i dont know, i mean i hope so, but eh i dont really know." he replies to her with a shrug.
indie nods once more with a sigh.
"i think shes getting jelly." the girl informs with a sly grin.
he looks to her with a happy smile.
"you really think so?"
"yeah, she looks at me like i just killed her whole family." indigo jokes around.
"wheres my room?"
"and mine?"
"and mine too?"
"nick and chris, the room down the hall twin beds." jolene points to the hall as the kids walk there.
"nate me and you this one also twin beds."
"and indie and matt, the one upstairs, king bed." jolene stated twiddling her jeans.
Matthew and indigo look to one another with wide eyes.
"why dont we have twin beds?"
"because you guys are a couple duh." jolene rolls her eyes.
the two couldnt even say anything because the girl and nate enter their room with a slam.
"i am not sleeping on the floor." matt tells her once they arrived.
"uh neither am i." indie stated furrowing her brows.
"well im not sleeping in the same bed either." mat lets out.
"well neither am i." she crosses her arms.
both staring at the other with anger, indie standing on the right side of the bed while matt stood on the left.
they ended up building a pillow barrier.
"you cross this line i end you." indigo says while turning around on her back.
"trust me, im not trying to touch you." matt snarls.
"whatever you say." indie grumbles.
both closing their eyes.
sleep took over.
twisting and turning all night, was something the two were not very new with.
at ten in the morning chris and nick go up to the room of the 'couple.'
only to be met with with Matt sturniolo's arm around indie stewarts waist.
her face and his inches apart as the heavy breaths of their sleep took over.
chris and nick look to one another.
they both knew.
it was like.
spring comes out of indigos heart, and be always blooms in her arms.
it was like.
her skin smelled like light, he thinks shes the moon.
it was like.
if indies heart could speak, it would say to him
"i dont wanna let you go, i want to hold you in my arms forever!"
H speaks!
oh god they make me cry fr
I LEGIT ADORE THEM
LOVE U ALLLL
