The car pulled into the beach parking lot, sun high and hot. A lot of people were down at the shore, lucky for Spencer, Kyla and Ashley the others went on ahead. Hopefully they had gotten a spot before it got to crowded. When they showed up Kyla had a feeling something went down, both had red puffy eyes from crying but she didn’t want to ask.

“Man am I hungry?” Kyla rubbed her bare stomach, she had on shorts and her bikini top and several guys were all ready checking the three women out as they headed on to the sand.

“Me too.” Spencer finally spoke to some one other than her girlfriend; her voice was shaky and sore. Her stomach growled, the last thing she remembered having was dinner before prom than a couple drinks of punch while at prom than nothing.

“There’s the guys,” Ashley waved toward their group of friends. They had all ready laid several blankets on the sand proclaiming this there spot, “Hey.”

“You have got to hit the water.” Glen ran up shaking his head causing sea water to splash over everyone.

“Watch it will ya.” Aiden said, he was laying back with his arms behind his head soaking up the sun.

“Did I get poor Aiden and his little sun tan.” Glen mocked in a child like voice, getting the reaction he wanted as the two boys ran for the water.

Spencer sat quietly on her towel she laid out, she watched everyone talking and laughing wishing she never saw the things she did. Wishing she could be there with them, oblivious to what was to come, only if I let it happen she thought. Trying to come up with an idea of how to skip prom. Ashley and the rest were in the water by now but Spencer felt like watching, not sure how to join in on the fun even if she had done it a thousand times before.

“Come on!” Clay yelled up to her, this caused the rest of the gang to look her way. Shaking her head and using her hands to motion no. Ashley and Aiden slowly made their way out of the water and ran up to her. Grabbed her arms and yanked her to her feet.
