up. The rain began to fall beating on my window and lightning lit up the room followed by a clash of thunder. I listened to the rain as it fell. It was such a relaxing sound. I slipped a pair of pink thongs on and put my nightgown on that I threw off this morning. I climbed into bed and Cody followed. He climbed under the covers and snuggled up to me. I put my arm around him and went to sleep.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 6
                  It had been about three weeks since I first met Austin. He and I had spent almost every night together. Tomorrow was October 5 th . James would be here. We never made love with each other but we got really close a lot. We spent most of our days hanging out at the beach but I still didn’t learn how to surf. We played volley ball, swam with some dolphins, went dancing in the moonlight on the beach, we had a romantic picnic on the beach, and he actually got me to play Frisbee with him. I had pretty much forgotten about Jesse. The flash back were becoming few and far between. I was even having good dreams again. Life was beginning to look up and I now had something to look forward to every day. Today is Thursday. I sat and patiently waited for Austin to get out of school and pick me up at 2. The time was 1:30pm. I walked outside and look at the ocean. I stared at its beauty. My heart felt whole again. Maybe now I will have a chance at a normal life.
                  I walked over to the water and walked in the rushing wave as it crashed on the shore. It felt wonderful. I lost track of time. I felt two hands being placed on my shoulders. I felt a jolt of electricity as I turned to face what I thought was Austin. My heart sank when I was greeted with…no one. There were foot prints in the sand like someone was here. I followed them until they ended at the road. I didn’t know who it was. Austin finally pulled up to the house and climbed out of the car.
                  “Hey baby.” He said walking over to me. “What are you doing out here?”
                  “Just waiting on you…” I lied.
                  “Okay.” He said. He pulled me to him and kissed me. “I have a surprise for you.”
                  “Great. I wore my suit. Are we going to get wet?” I asked.
                  “Maybe.” He said seductively. I knew what he meant and I began to giggle.
                  “Not that kind of wet…” I said teasing him.
                  “Let’s go.” He said.
                  I ran back to the house and locked all the doors and returned to the car. He opened the door and let me into the mustang. He closed the door and went over to the driver’s side. He roared the engine to life. He drove us through town mostly in silence. I was thinking about who was it on the beach with me today. The hands felt like a man’s hands. Whose were they? Who would be touching me? Why didn’t they stick around for me to see them? There was so much that didn’t make since to me.
    Meanwhile
    Back in Niagara Falls
                  James was packing his stuff and saying goodbye to Sarah and JJ. Jesse walked in on them.
                  “Where are you headed?” He asked.
                  “Don’t worry about it.” He said hatefully.
                  “Are you going to see Jamie?” He asked.
                  “No.” He lied.
                  “Be safe on your trip to Florida.” Sarah said trying to lie for him. “Call me when you get there.”
                  “I will baby. I love you both.” He said.
                  Sarah and JJ hugged him.
                  “Florida…” Jesse thought to himself as he walked away. Sarah knew her plan had worked. Jesse walked out the front door and climbed into his camo truck. He headed for the airport
