Chapter 10

                                    

                                          
Jalissa's POV:

"You ready to go?" Beau asks me as he loads my bag into the boot of his car.

"Yep," I answer.

"LUKE! JAI! COME ON!" Beau screams at them. I look up to see both boys running out the door, Luke has one shoe on and Jai only has pants on.

I giggle to myself as the boys hop in the car. I already shot gunned the front seat.

"So everyone has everything?" Beau asks and we all nod at him.

"Let's go then!" he says and backs out of the driveway. He turns up the radio all the way as we drive along with the windows down, it is a hot summer's day, perfect to go away in!

"High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life

Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time

Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends

A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again


Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need

Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why


If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?

If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?"

I listen to Jai and Luke sing along to the song. They are really good.

"You two are so good," I say to them looking at them through my aviators.

"Thanks," Luke answers proudly.

"Thankyou," Jai replies shyly. I don't understand how someone as sweet as him could have done all the things that I have been told.

"Where about's are the girls?" Beau asks the boys.

"Kat just said they are nearly there," Luke answers. Beau nods and continues to concentrate on the road, I can see his hands gripping the wheel very tightly out of the corner of my eye.

What is wrong with him?

"You okay?" I ask him.

He looks at me confused, "I'm fine."

I nod my head and see Luke and Jai put their heads down. Okay something is definitely up.

Beau's POV:

I really don't want to do this to the girls, but I have to. I mostly don't want to see Jalissa go through this, the other girls have been through it before, Jalissa hasn't. I am scared of how she will react, she will hate me after this.

All these thoughts run through my mind as I drive to the meeting place.

"You okay?" she asks me.

I look at her with a fake confused look, "I'm fine."

She nods her head and looks back to Luke and Jai, they immediately put their heads down. Now she is going to know something.

"We're here," I say after half an hour of silence.

"Finally," Jalissa groans and gets out of the car.

"What the fuck was that?" I snarl at Luke and Jai.

"What?" Jai snaps back.

"When you two put your heads down like you had something to hide!" I answer.

"We DO have something to hide!" Luke answers losing his temper.

"Fuck, just keep it together alright?" I snap at them angrily.

"Whatever," they both answer in sync and get out of the car. I hop out to find Kat, Laurel, James and Skip greeting everyone. Jalissa is standing by herself on her phone.

I take out my phone to look at the time.

1:23pm

They will be here in a few hours.

"Should we set up?" I suggest to everyone.

"Sure," Kat smiles. We all go and get our stuff out of the car and set up the tents.

There is four tents between us all; Kat and Luke, Jai and Laurel, Skip and James and then Jalissa and I.

Jalissa and I are in our tent setting up our sleeping bags and mattress. She won't look at me at all.

"Hey are you alright?" I ask her.

Her head shoots up to me, "Yeah."

That was a bit too quick of an answer.

"You sure?" I ask again.

"Beau I am fine," she smiles then kisses me. I smile back and continue with what I am doing.

Suddenly I get this guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach, she shouldn't be here with me, I am dangerous. Oh Beau, man the fuck up. Who even cares, after tonight she will probably never speak to you or any of us again.

As all the thoughts rush through my head my phone rings. I pick it up to find a text from Sam.

Sam: Something has come up, we will meet you tomorrow.

I quickly text back quite aggravated that I am going to have to live with this guilt for another freaking night.

Beau: Okay, make sure you come tomorrow or the deal's off.

Sam: Will do.

This weekend is going to be eventful.

Jalissa's POV:

We are all sitting around the campfire just talking to each other and drinking.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Skip says. Everyone nods in agreement and Beau starts.

"Okay James, truth or dare?" Beau asks James.

"Truth," James answers.

"Pussy!" Luke calls out causing us to all laugh.

"Hmm when did you lose the big V?" Beau asks him.

"Fourteen," James answers, "Laurel truth or dare?"

"Truth," she answers.

"You are all gay!" Luke calls out.

"Fuck off Luke," James spits out, "Okay Laurel do you spit or swallow?"

Laurel's face goes bright red as she looks at Jai, Jai's face is also bright red.

"Um both," she answers quietly.

"Fuck yeah Jai!" Beau slaps his brothers hand.

"Shut up Beau! Kat truth or dare?" Laurel says.

"Dare!" Kat smirks.

"Finally someone who isn't a pussy!" Luke says.

"Kat I dare you to hook up with..." Laurel says as she scans all of us, "Beau."

I look at Beau who is laughing along with the boys.

"I don't want to if Jalissa isn't okay with it," Kat answers.

"She doesn't mind, do you babe?" Beau replies looking at me.

"No," I croak and shake my head. Kat shrugs her shoulders before walking over to Beau and getting into him. I look away fighting the tears and play with my thumbs.

"Jalissa truth or dare?" I hear Kat ask. I turn back around to see her sitting in her usual spot and Beau staring at me.

"Truth," I answer.

She smirks, "Who did you lose you virginity to?" Shit, I was hoping she wouldn't ask this question.

"Beau," I answer quietly glancing over at him, his eyes are wide as he stares at me in shock. Suddenly he gets up and walks away down towards the beach.

I look around at everyone who is sitting there awkwardly. I quickly get up and run after Beau.

"Beau!" I call out not being able to see him because of how dark it is. The moonlight shines on the crashing waves as the salty air hits my face. I look down the beach to see a silhouette sitting with their head in their hands.

I run over to him and he looks up with tears in his eyes.

"What did I say?" I say as my voice shakes.

"I took advantage of you," he answers.

"No you didn't, I wanted you to be my first," I answer sitting down next to him.

"I don't deserve you," he mutters.

"Why don't you?" I ask confused. Why has he brought this up just now.

"Because you deserve someone who is going to keep you safe," he looks at me with tears streaming down his face. I take my thumb and wipe them away.

"Beau you will keep me safe," I reply.

"If you knew why we were here then you would realise you're not safe," he answers.

"W-what?" I stutter.

"The boys and I are here for a deal, you girls aren't safe. They will hurt you and we won't be able to stop them," he informs me. My face goes white as I stare at him.

"Why would you bring me here then?" I ask him.

"It seemed right at the time," he cries, "We need this deal."

"And why do you need it Beau?" I answer angrily.

"BECAUSE MY FAMILY IS HARDLY GETTING BY THAT'S WHY!" he suddenly screams.

"Oh, I didn't know that," I answer quietly.

"Yeah well now you do," he snaps back at me.

We both sit there in silence looking out at the ocean. He is clearly pissed at me but I am pissed at him as well, he has brought us out here to possibly get us hurt.

"So what do I have to do tomorrow?" I sigh. His head shoots towards me.

"What?" he asks.

"What do I have to do tomorrow to make sure the deal goes well?" I restate my phrase.

"Just do what they say," he replies. I nod my head and looks down at my feet.

"Thanks for doing this baby," Beau says wrapping his arm around me.

"It's okay, just tell me next time okay?" I answer, he nods and kisses me softly. We sit with our arms wrapped around each other watching the waves crash softly on the shore.

I can feel myself shivering from the cold sea breeze. Beau pulls me closer to him and I bury my face into his chest.

"Jalissa...." Beau starts. 

"Mm," I mumble.

"I think I love you," he whispers.

I look up at him and into his shining eyes, they look sincere and truthful.

"I think I love you too," I smile. Beau smiles back and leans in to kiss me passionately.

His arms snake around my waist and my hands run through his hair. Our tongues mash together and fight for dominance. Beau wins of course and slowly pulls away with his face just centimetres away from mine.

"I'm so lucky to have you," he whispers.

"I'm the lucky one," I whisper back. We stare into each others eyes for a moment before he speaks again.

"We should get back," he mumbles.

"Yeah," I answer. He hops up and pulls me up softly before standing with his back to me.

"Um Beau?" I ask quite confused at what he is doing.

"Hop on silly," he says referring to his back.

"Oh," I giggle and wrap my arms around his neck as I jump onto his back. His strong hands snake around my thighs and he starts walking back to the camp site. We find everyone still sitting where we left them. Beau puts me down and pecks my lips before sitting back down in his spot, I sit back down in mine and Kat whispers to me.

"Everything alright?" she asks.

"Yeah," I smile totally forgetting about tomorrow. All that matters right now is that I have Beau.

--------------------------------------------------

"Jalissa get up, they're here," Beau slightly shakes me. I rub my eyes and quickly slip my pants and singlet back on then hop out of the tent to see everyone standing around and a car pulling up.

"Remember what I said, do what they say," Beau whispers in my ear. I nod slowly and entwine my fingers with his.

The car doors open and out walks three guys. They all look around our age, I think I have seen them around town actually.

"Beau," one of them nods.

"Hey Sam," Beau greets him.

"So do you have the stuff?" Sam asks Beau.

"Yeah, do you have the money?" Beau asks. Sam pulls out an envelope from his pocket and opens it, my eyes grow wide at just how much money is in there.

"Good here is the stuff," Beau answers as the exchange things. Beau places a bag of small little pills into Sam's hand and takes the money.

"Who is this?" Sam smirks at me. My body becomes stiff as he walks over to me.

"This is my girlfriend Jalissa," Beau announces. I look at Kat out of the corner of my eye, she looks scared.

"I'm Sam," Sam introduces himself to me, he has bright blue eyes and shaggy brown hair. 

"Jalissa," I answer shaking his hand.

"Nice handshake you got there," he says.

"Thanks...." I reply. Everything goes silent as Sam stares at me.

"You should get going Sam," Beau says clearly overprotecting.

"Woah sorry," Sam raises his hands above his head, "Alright we're going."

Sam backs away and into his car with the two other guys. As they drive away I see Sam wink at me making me shudder.

"You alright?" Beau asks me.

"Yeah, just fine," I lie. Beau wraps his arm around my waist and kisses my forehead before leading me down to the beach with the others. 

The whole time I am walking down there I have this feeling in my stomach like something is terribly wrong. I don't know what but it came when Sam shook my hand.

I know he is trouble but what kind of trouble can he cause me? He doesn't know anything about me.
