Beach
I boarded the bus along with everyone else except they were all paired up, I took the only a seat available one on it's own at the back of the bus next to all the bags. We made a quick pit stop off at a shop on the way there to stock up on sun cream and bug spray since Toby and Gus had convinced the adults that we didn't have enough already.
I stayed by the door of the shop not wanting to get involved in what was going on, they were all messing about with the beach balls and big inflatable boats and I could tell that things were going to escalate quickly.
"Girl's don't do that." I heard Gina shout across the shop as Mike and Gus were trying to work out how much we needed of each thing.
"Elektra stop deflating all the toys." She yelled again.
Finally we were able to leave the shop but not before the manager had given us all a firm talking to and Mike had brought way to much sun cream.
We all boarded back into the bus and then we set of for the beach, everyone was excitedly talking about the last time we came to the beach when Johnny let all the tyres down and messed with the sat nav which ended up meaning we were on the bus forever in the end.
When we finally arrived it was like I was invisible as people leant over me and pushed me out of the way to get there bags and get onto the beach as quickly as possible.
"You ok?"Mike asks as they all finally leave and I am able to get up from my seat and collect my own bag.
"Fine." I grumbled.
We all left the car park and walked down to the beach, we got a spot kind of in the middle of the beach, away from the water but still close enough that the adults could keep an eye on us. Everyone was already in their swimming stuff so they took their clothes of and most went straight into the sea. Harry was busy building sandcastles and Elektra was moodily sitting up on the wall that lead to the beach.
I was making myself comfortable when I felt a pair of strong arms lift me up and start running.
"Put me down." I screamed unable to see who had hold of me.
"We're going in the water to have a laugh." He cackled and then I knew that it was Harley.
Finally I felt him let go of me and I fell into the water. It startled me and I struggled to breathe for a few minutes but I came up from the water and stood up. I began splashing Harley and Jody, that's when I noticed that Elektra had joined us now.
"One more." Harley said lifting me up and dropping me back in the water.
I struggled to breathe for a couple of minutes but this time as I tried to resurface I could feel someone holding me down, I could hear laughing as I struggled more and more to breathe. I thrashed from side to side to try and free myself from whatever was putting the pressure on me but it wasn't working. I breathed as heavily as I could threw my nose but eventually I felt someone pulling me up from under the water. As soon as I could breathe again I ran as fast as possible towards the bags, I took the keys from Mike's bag and legged it back to the bus.
I went inside and locked the bus, I sat at the back pulled my knees up to my chest and breathed as hard as I could whilst crying. It wasn't long before I heard knocking on the door.
"Teagen, Open up please. I need to make sure you're ok." I heard Mike call.
"No just go away." I shouted back.
"You know I can't do that, they others said you were under a long time I need to make sure your ok." Mike tells me.
"She could have secondary drowning. Your lungs fill with water and hours later you die." I hear Toby tell mike to which he replies 'not helpful Toby'
"I'm fine. I held my breathe. I just need to be alone." I call back.
"What were you thinking going under, it's dangerous." Mike questioned like this was all my fault.
I lost It enternally screaming and punching the chairs on the bus. Why was everything always my fault? Did they even know what Harley had done? That he had forced me into the sea?.
It was an hour or so later before I head another knock on the bus door.
"Teagen, It's me. I would have come earlier but Mike said you wanted to be alone. Just let me in, I know it wasn't your fault." I hear Jody trying to reason with me.
I unlocked the bus and when It clicked she opened the door, as soon as she was in I shut the door and locked it again.
"This feels a tad like a hostage situation." Jody joked trying to lighten the mood.
"Maybe it is." I laughed.
"I managed to save this but they soaked everything else." Jody said handing me a coin.
I looked down and then rummaged my pockets, It was the 50p Liam had given me, I carried it around and filled with it when I was anxious. I took it from here a little too aggressively and rubbed it between my finger and thumb.
"Thank you." I mumbled.
"No problem, You staying on the bus?" She asked sitting next to me and putting and arm round me.
"Yeah, can't face it out there. Go have fun though, I'm sure they are missing you." I reassure her.
"It's fine, I'll sit with you." She tells me.
"Jody I don't want to be rude but I would rather be on my own." I tell her.
She rifles in her bag and pulls out a book before placing the backpack back on her bag and looking down at me.
"Ok but have this, I don't really read anyway." She says handing me the book.
Before I have a chance to say anything she unlocks the van and leaves.
