It was a warm evening. The sun was slowly falling behind the blue crashing waves. My feet dug deep into the sand. I leaned back and closed my eyes. Tears rolled down my cheeks. The water came up and touched my toes. Memorys flooded my mind, memorys of him. I sat alone, the wind rushing through my blonde hair. I sat up and looked up down the long endless beach. There were couples walking and enjoying the moment, yet I was here. Alone. And this is the story of how I got here.

"Kate!" Nick yelled after me.

"Nick?" I turned around to see Nick running after me. I wasnt paying attention and slipped falling into the cool blue water.

Nick laughed lightly, helping me up.

"What are you doing here?" I asked shocked.

"I was in the neighborhood." Nick said smiling.

"Nick!" I exclaimed as I hugged him tightly.

Sorry that is all I have for now. Please rate and comment if you want me to write more.

"Nick why are you all the way out here in California?" I asked.

"Well, you know we travel a lot. How have you been?" He replied

" Great. How long are you guys in town?? Where is Joe, Kevin, Frankie, DENISE?" The questions spilled out of me.

"Wow, one at a time. They are at the hotel unpacking. We will be here as long as we need. I thought maybe we could hang out today." Nick asked.

"Really? I missed you a lot. I am so happy you are here." I said

"I cant live long without my best friend." Nick said smiling.

Nick and I had known eachother since we were in first grade. I moved to California about a year ago, and Nick had gotten involved with his band, so we never got to see eactother.

"Hey do you want to just hang out on the beach?." I asked.

"That sounds great." Nick said.

We started walking down the beach and catching up with one another.

"So you really got tackled by a group of 20 girls?" I asked laughing.

"Ya, they found our hotel and I opened the door....then BAM!" Nick said grabbing my sides.

I started laughing.

"Nic-Nick! AHHHH!" I said laughing.

We walked down to the end of the beach and stopped at a tidal pool. I stopped and sat down and let my feet dip into the cool water. Nick came and sat next to me.

"So, I just want to clear things up." I said seriously.

"Huh?" Nick said obviously confused.

"Ok so is it true you are dating Miley?" I asked smiling.

Nick smiled then said. "No."

"Nick, dont lie." I said laughing.

"Im not." Nick said.

I stood up then walked down to the shoreline. Nick followed me. Then I jumped into the water, fully clothed.

"Kate! What are you doing?" Nick asked.

"Oh come on. The water is great!" I said swimming out farther.

Nick hesitated then jumped in after me.

"Nick, are you my best friend?" I asked.

"Ya, I guess." He said swimming out next to me.

We bobbed up and down as the waves lifted us up.

I felt a pang of sorrow. I loved Nick since I met him, I know it sounds corny but I did. He was always so sweet to me. But I always thought that I was just a friend. There was so many days that I thought about telling him, but I never had the guts to. If he didnt feel the same way, it could ruin the friendship that took so long to make.

Nick and I swam back and got out. We kept walking and talking. Then I lifted my head to look into Nick's eyes.

"Nick....I have something to tell you." I said

"What?" Nick said looking back at me.

"I think I lo-" I got cut off. I closed my eyes and soon felt the sand beneath me.

"Kate!" I heard Joe scream.

"Hi Joe. Did you have to tackle me?" I said laughing.

Joe stood up. Next to him was Frankie, Denise, Kevin Sr. and Kevin.

"Hey! How have you guys been." I asked going to hug them all.
