Chapter 8
I hadn't realized that I was crying, yet again when I was Письмо my dreams down in my book. I sat my book and pen down then wiped the tears off my face. When I looked up, Jake was standing in front of me.
Why aren't Ты at school? I asked.
Didn't feel like it. Are Ты okay? He asked.
Yeah, I guess. I told him. Are Ты okay? I asked.
Yeah, I'm fine. Ive had to do rescue people like that before and so I knew what to expect. He told me.
I just nodded my head to him.
Look, about the other день when I сказал(-а) "you don't know what it's like", I'm sorry for that. He said.
It's okay. I just don't know how to let it go. I told him.
Do Ты want to talk about it? I might be able to help. Jake said.
It was last summer actually...I began with that.
I told him the whole the story and pretty much started crying at the beginning of the story.
[i] as soon as Cody put oxygen on my I took it off.
Look guys, I'm fine okay. All I need is some water. I told them.
Okay. Just drink all of that another glass full. Nathan directed me.
I walked up to the lookout view from the tower. The sun was setting. It was so beautiful that day.
Nathan lead our debrief session. All of the guys сказал(-а) some things but I just kind of kept quiet. I didn't know what to say. They just all talked about different things that we could do to improve our skills and all I could think was go and relearn CPR. I had let that guy die because I didn't switch when Nathan had told me to. I did give chest compression right because my body was physically tired. I acted strong in front of the guys. I knew if they saw a weak spot in me, they would say something to parents and then it would be a whole big deal and that was something I didn't want to happened. [\i]
Wow, I didn't know Ты had went/are going through that. Jake said.
Yeah just Don't tell anyone. I asked.
It's okay. Your secret is безопасно, сейф with me. Jake told me.
Thanks, for talking with me. I haven't ever really told anyone but my best friend, Luke, back Главная and he didn't really know how to help. I said.
Yeah. So when are Ты going to start surfing again? Jake asked.
I hope soon! I'm gonna go insane if I don't get hack in the water soon. I said.
Jake just laughed and smiled his pearly white teeth at me.
My shoulder wasn't hurting as much as it was when I had woken up that morning and My ankle wasn't hurting as much.
I think I'm gonna go surfing. I said.
Ты really shouldn't. Jake said.
I know but it'll be okay. I told him.
Loryn, Ты could really hurt your shoulder and anole еще surfing this soon. He сказал(-а) trying to talk me out of my idea.
Nah! I'll заворачивать, обертывание my ankle again really tight and put the leash up on my calf. I сказал(-а) reassuring him.
Alright, if I can't talk Ты out of it at least let me help Ты заворачивать, обертывание Ты ankle. Jake said.
Jake wrapped my ankle for me, once I had my bathing suit on and then i put my leash on leg. Here I'll take your board and Ты use your crutches so Ты won't hurt it walking in the sand. Jake сказал(-а) tone.
Thanks. I said.
Jake ended up putting our boards on four wheeler, then we hopped on and rode to the beach.
I like that better than walking. I told Jake.
Yeah, it's pretty nice. He responded
When we paddled out to the waves it was so pretty. There were dolphins jumping and it was just pretty outside. I started paddling for a wave, I felt it pick me up so I paddled a couple of еще times really quick and then I stood up but fell off shortly after I got to my feet. When I resurfaced Jake was paddling over to me.
Are Ты okay? He asked.
Yeah, I'm fine. I told him.
We paddled back into the line up. Jake caught a wave and was ripping it up. Далее was my turn again. I was determined not to fall off of my board on this wave. I stood up and shredding the wave to my skill level which still wasn't very good but I was hopefully getting better.
I saw Gary and Bec standing at the edge of the water waving me in but I just waved back to them like I didn't notice that they wanted me in. I just smiled and laughed.
Loryn, they are calling Ты in? Ты do know that don'tcha? Jake asked as I paddled back into the lineup.
Yeah. I'm just not ready to leave the water. I told him.
They're going to get really mad if Ты don't go in now. He said.
Yeah, I can already tell. I said.
Well this wave is mine! Jake proclaimed.
No way! I told him.
I started paddling as fast as I could but didn't quite make it. Jake had gotten the wave.
Ha! Told Ты it was my wave. He said.
Whatever. This is mine though. I told him. I started paddling and caught the wave and I saw Bec and Gary standing on the пляж, пляжный with stern looks on their face. I looked Jake and waved to tell him that I was going to go in. So I made my way back onto the пляж, пляжный and hobbled up to where Bec and Gary were standing.
What are Ты doing out there? Gary yelled.
I was surfing. I told him.
Your gonna hurt yourself worse if Ты don't let the injuries that Ты already have heal. Completely! Gary informed me.
He was really mad. Like way madder than I could have ever guessed he could get. If that even makes since. And as for Bec she was mad but wasn't as mad.
Loryn, we have a rule: if Ты don't go to school then Ты can't go surfing. She told me.
Sorry, this morning I was feeling really sore and really tired. I'm having a hard time getting use to the time difference. I told her.
Gary just rolled his eyes as if I was making up excuses and Bec wasn't to happy that I had went surfing.
Don't go back out. Go up to the house. Gary сказал(-а) raising his voice.
Gary walked away and Bec quickly followed him.
Thanks for helping me back up to the house. I was thinking to Gary. Sure just leave me to carry my board up to the house while trying to walk in the sand. He was very smart, not! I started making my way up to the house but luckily everyone was Главная from school and was heading out to surf. I сказал(-а) Эй, to the girls, to Cam and to Rivers.
Do Ты need help getting back up to the house Rivers asked.
That would be great! I said. If Ты don't mind.
No problem. He said.
Why don't Ты go back out surfing with all of us? He asked.
Gary told me to go back up to the house and Bec сказал(-а) that if we don't go to school then we can't go surfing. I told him.
Oh gotcha. He said.
Yep. Gary didn't even offer to help me back to the house. I said.
I guess he figures if Ты can surf then Ты can walk to the house. Rivers told me. No offense.
Non taken. Don't worry. I said.
So does Ты ankle hurt much? He asked.
Yeah a little bit. It wasn't hurting before I started surfing though. I said.
That stinks. He said.
Yeah. Thanks so much for helping. I told him.
No problem. He said.
Have fun surfing with everyone. I told him.
Rivers took off running back down the stairs and towards the waves. I don't know why Gary was so mad. It wasn't like the doctors had told me not to put weight on my foot или at least I don't remember.
Once I got in the house I went and took a душ and wrapped my ankle back up in a dry bandage.
I hadn't realized that I was crying, yet again when I was Письмо my dreams down in my book. I sat my book and pen down then wiped the tears off my face. When I looked up, Jake was standing in front of me.
