“Fuck…” Jaime said as he lay next to Noelle trying to catch his breath “That was amazing” He turned to face her and kissed her softly.

“You weren’t so bad yourself Preciado” She complimented before getting up and heading for the bathroom.

Noelle and Jaime shared a shower, washing each other’s bodies, before coming out and changing into something weather appropriate. They walked out into the kitchen and started making some breakfast when they were joined by Mike.

“Next time you want to fuck in the morning, let me know so I can put my headphones on” He said as he sat on the stool next to Noelle.

“You might just want to put them in all the time” Jaime replied as he turned around and placed some egg and bacon on Noelle’s plate before getting out another one for Mike.

“This place is so nice in the morning, seriously have you seen the beach?” Mike was in amazement at how beautiful it was, he didn’t think it could be any nicer.

“This is probably one of my favourite places to be in the morning. Well on the balcony upstairs anyway” Noelle informed.

“Let’s take our breakfast upstairs then” Mike suggested. Jaime and Noelle nodded and each of them took their plate and glass of orange juice upstairs with them. When they got on the balcony the sun was still rising and it was one of the most impeccable views you could imagine.

“Wow” Jaime and Mike said in unison. “Yeah wow” Noelle chimed in.


It was the middle of the afternoon and everyone was on the beach. Noelle, Giselle and Carmen were sat on a blanket chatting and getting to know one another better since Carmen was new to the group and the boys were playing soccer.

“So I noticed that you and Tony don’t get on” Carmen mentioned to Noelle.

“Erm yeah, we have a messy past” She said, not really wanting to go into it.

“Oh, but you guys still hang out, isn’t that weird?” She was so innocent that Noelle didn’t want to tell her what went down between them but she had a feeling she wouldn’t stop pressing for answers

“It’s not too bad, it gets awkward and we argue a lot but he likes to cause drama. We didn’t actually speak for 6 years then I met Jaime and we started dating and it turned out he and Tony were best friends” She sighed and Carmen was trying to work everything out.

“Oh were you two like a thing?” Noelle and Giselle laughed a little knowing that Carmen couldn’t see what she was getting into.

“Yeah we dated for a while but it ended badly but I’d rather not talk about it, he’ll probably turn it into me trying to mess with you or something” She giggled again

“Well, I’d like to know what he’s like, as a person. So ignore whatever he thinks” Carmen laughed this time.

Noelle gave up trying to avoid the situation and told Carmen what Tony had done, and everything that has happened since they were in each other’s lives again. Carmen was super shocked. Noelle assured her that he wasn’t like that anymore, which wasn’t entirely true he keeps kissing her and she’s in a relationship but she didn’t want to hurt Carmen or ruin their relationship for no reason. It wouldn’t be fair or morally correct.


Later that night Noelle, Mike and Tommy were going to have three musketeer times on the balcony with a bottle of Gold Vodka. I guess this was a new thing of theirs. As Noelle was walking along the landing to join the boys on the balcony she was stopped by Tony who called for her

“Noelle, can we talk?” He asked quite rudely

“I have plans Tony so no” She said back

“I’m pretty sure getting drunk with those two can wait 5 more minutes” She huffed as he walked to the door of her old bedroom… no their old bedroom; of course he would take that room.

“What do you want Tony?” She asked, rather pissed off, as she entered the room. She hasn’t been in there in ages. She spent some time in their when she would stay after their break up but not for long. She couldn’t face the memories that had already begun flooding back to her.

“More like what do you want? Are you seriously trying to sabotage my relationship?” He sounded angry

“Excuse me?” Noelle shot back at him in disbelief of what she was hearing.

“Come off it No, why else would you tell Carmen what happened between us?”

“Maybe because she asked what happened and I wasn’t about to lie to some sweet, innocent girl who wanted to know what you were like”

“So you tell her the bad things thanks for that”

“You were the one that did those things remember. Besides the whole of the fucking internet knows by now Tony, it’s not a fucking secret.” Jaime had made his way to the landing along with Mike and Tommy who were stood on the threshold of the balcony.

“What are you doing?” Tony asked as Noelle made her way to the bed and began to move it away from the wall. She opened the bed side drawer

“You can’t just go through our drawers for Christ sake” Tony shouted at her as she pulled out a flip knife, there was one in most of the bedrooms. She never knew why.

Noelle pulled the bed back a bit further to reveal a wooden panel on the wall that had handmade carvings that read

To & No Forever

Noelle had completely forgotten about it until she caught a glimpse a minute ago. They made those the first time they visited that place. It was the Christmas break after they first got together and back then they really did think they would be forever.

She manoeuvred the knife skilfully and cut the carved panel from the wall and walked out of the room after cutting Tony a nasty expression; if looks could kill he would be lying on the floor with no pulse.

She walked to the balcony to see that Mike and Tommy had already lit the fire and she threw the panel on there, watching it burn. She turned around and walked past everyone and stormed off down the stairs.

“Why do you always have to cause some sort of shit Tony, for fucks sake” Jaime shouted at him as he followed Noelle downstairs.

He walked into their room to see Noelle packing her suitcase.

“Noelle what are you doing?” He asked as he pulled out the clothes she had just put in.

“I’m going home, it’s the first night and he’s causing arguments I don’t want to be here” She wiped away a tear that had fallen.

“Come on, stop packing. We came here to have fun and I’m not letting you go home. If he wants to be a complete prick let him but for the rest of the week we can just go off and do our own thing. Or hang out as the four musketeers. Just leave him and his dickhead self alone” Jaime offered, trying to get his girlfriend to stay. He knew she loved this place and he wasn’t going to let one argument ruin their break.

Noelle stopped packing her things and sat on the bed next to her suitcase. Jaime knelt before her and wiped away the final few tears before she stopped crying.

“Fine, but if he starts again then I am going” She told him strongly.

“Deal, now come on. We have vodka to drink and smores to make” Jaime kissed her on the lips softly before walking over to the door. Noelle followed him and they went to get the ingredients for smores before heading back to the balcony.

“Here she is” Mike called out as he passed Noelle the half empty bottle of gold vodka
“Good job I bought another one up with me” She said as she took a swig of the strong liquid and passing it to Jaime.

“That’s my girl” Tommy said as he stuck a marshmallow on a stick and held it over the open flame.

“I was thinking we should get the speedboats out sometime this week?” Tommy proposed

“YES” the remaining 3 shouted in response

“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch your answer” Tommy said jokingly.

They spent the rest of the night like that, Noelle’s mind never flicked back to Tony at any point. Other than when she walked past his room to go back downstairs.


-2 days later-

Tony and Noelle have barely crossed paths. She had spoken to Carmen a few times though; she was too sweet a girl not to talk to though.

Today Jaime, Noelle, Mike and Tommy were taking out the speedboats. Noelle and Tommy used to race up and down the length of the beach super-fast when they were younger, little daredevils they were.

Jaime and Noelle were on one while Tommy and Mike were on the other. Jaime wanted to be the gentleman and drive for Noelle so she let him. It turns out that Jaime has been on speedboats a few times in the past.

“Okay are you guys ready?” Tommy asked everyone nodded and put did a thumbs up.

“Right then, let’s go” With that both boats were started up and out in the water in a matter of seconds.

They were going up and down, all over the place. They were going at a reasonable speed too, nothing too dangerous. They had made their way to the end of the pier and it was pretty far out but they just sat there looking out into the horizon.

“Hey look dolphins” Mike pointed out and the others looked to where he was pointing, two dolphins left the water and re-entered just as quick.

“That’s amazing” Jaime commented.

The four of them watched for a little longer before heading back so they could race. On the way back something went wrong. Noelle fell off the back of her boat and went underwater. It all happened so fast that no one knows what happened.

Jaime stopped the boat and jumped in after her since she wasn’t getting back up. When he reached her he noticed her head was bleeding, she must have hit the boat when she fell off. Mike and Tommy had jumped in the water too and they helped him lift her back onto his boat. He didn’t exactly want to ride it back with her not being strapped in or anything but it was all they could do. He made sure to be extra careful.

When they reached the beach again, Jaime carried her into the house, she was still unconscious and nothing they were doing was waking her up. Vic, Giselle and Carmen were all panicking when Tony came into the room to see what all the fuss was about.

“Holy shit, she needs a hospital” He said as soon as he saw her on the couch

“We know where is the nearest one?” Jaime shouted to Tommy.

“Just take her to my car and I’ll drive us there, you guys can follow us up” Mike went with Tommy and Jaime while the others did as Tommy directed and followed them to the hospital. Tony knew where he was going so he drove, not saying a word the whole time, he could sense something bad was about to happen.

When they got to the hospital Noelle was taken from them and her head wound was checked out. The doctor informed the group that when she wakes up she will have a slight concussion but she should be fine. There were no other injuries and it appears she didn’t hit her head to hard.

“Thank you, can we see her?” Jaime asked with a relieved look in his eyes. He felt so guilty though.

“Yes, of course. She’s in room 648 and should be awake in the next couple of hours” The doctor pointed to Noelle’s room and the 6 of them made their way to it.

They only had to wait for about an hour before Noelle woke up. When she opened her eyes she looked directly at Tommy who was in the chair next to her bed.

“Hey Tommy” Noelle said. He looked at her and smiled

“How are you feeling?” He asked

“I have a slight headache, where’s Tony?” Tommy’s eyes widened

“Why are you asking for Tony?” Jaime said in shock and Noelle turned to see the spikey haired man sat on the chair the other side of her bed.

“Oh shit, Tommy, who are all these people?” Noelle asked turning to face Tommy again who was now stood.

“What do you mean Noelle, that’s Jaime, that’s your boyfriend” Tommy said as if she was playing a game on them.

Noelle shook her head and a tear left her eye “No he isn’t, Tony is” She responded as Tony entered the room.

Jaime stood up and stormed out on a search for Noelle’s doctor. He found him straight away “Why does my girlfriend not remember me? You said she would have a slight concussion not that she would forget everything” Jaime shouted at the top of his lungs.

The doctor was in as much shock as he was, that’s not supposed to happen. The doctor and Jaime went back to Noelle’s room and everyone was still in astonishment at what has happened.

“Noelle, I’m Doctor Spence I need you to tell me everything about you, okay?” He asked softly

“Erm, okay. Well my name is Noelle Brown and I live in San Diego. I’m 18 years old. This is my best friend Tommy and that’s my boyfriend Tony. I play drums and sing and draw. Wait, why am I even in hospital?” She said and now everyone in the room was in tears.

Jaime punched a wall and walked out again, Mike followed him to make sure he was okay.

“I’ve lost her” Is all Jaime could say before he broke down in Mike’s arms

“We’ll get her back” Mike comforted; he only hoped his words were true.

Notes
