Bella's POV!!
It was dark. Not pitch black, but greenish darkness that barely allowed shapes to form. All I could smell was the tang of seaweed, all I could hear was the breaking of waves. 

My hair twisted around in the wind who was trying to kill me with coldness. My eyes wondered around with each wave as they crashed against the shore. A tear rolled down my cheek down to my hand. The cold harsh wind made it feel like ice dripping down from the clouds. Suddenly foot steps appeared out of the waves music. 

"Is this seat taken?" Luke asked as he pointed beside me.

I slowly shook my head. His feet jumped into action as he went down to sit beside me. He looked out at the sun rising as I looked at the hypnotizing waves. Another tear rolled down my face, but I seemed it was slower, warmer, and bigger. 

Luke looked over at me as my tear was at my chin. He rubbed it away. My face turned red, but my embarrassment showed through my tomato face.

Is he a good guy? 
Was he actually a guy who cares about me? 

I looked at him as a faint smile formed on his face. My heart jumped almost 600 paces as a faint smile formed on my face too.

"Are you okay?" He asked with sad puppy blue eyes. I looked back out to the ocean while the smile dissappeared into dust.

"I'm fine." I answered, "Just a little shaken that's it." He put an arm around my neck. I started breathing hard. He started bringing his arm back but it was so warm and soothing that I leaned my head on his shoulder. He looked at me. His mustles tensed up as he put his arm back around me. 

"Will you go out with me?" I whispered. He starred at me like I was crazy until I looked at him straight in the eyes and asked again.

"Um..." he said, "I would love to." I put my hands on both sides of his face aimed it at mine and kissed him.
The next day my heart raced. Claire and I were both coming to Lauren's house.

Will Claire find out mine and now Lauren's secret? The question poisoned my head like tiny bees trying to live in my brain. 

Buzz. My phone went off. The sweet sound of an orcas call made me pick it up knowing it was a call. It was Luke. Last night was a blur. I couldn't remember much after I kissed him. All I know is I was in bed by morning.

My phone buzzed and said you have one new voice-mail. I looked at phone and pressed the voice-mail button. It started reading off some words and then I heard Luke's voice, "Hey Bella. If you are there please pick up. I need to talk to you. If you would just please don't tell anyone we are girlfriend and boyfriend. Will you call me back. Bye." My eyes wondered off my screen to my hands which were shaking like a chihuahua. 

Oh right he's my boyfriend. I never knew how thoughtful he was until last night near the beach. 

My hands fumbled around my room looking for clothes and essentials. Once I got everything I got in my car and drove over to Lauren's house. I walked up to her door fixed my hair and knocked. 

I waited for 6 minutes, 9 minutes. After 14 minutes her mom came out dressed in pajamas. Her hair looked like a birds nest. 

"Is Lauren here? She told me to be here 7 for a sleepover." I said as I dropped my bags.

"I thought she was at your house. She never came back after school." she said with worry in her eyes. My eyes widened.

"Did she saying anything about going somewhere else last night?" I asked. She slowly shook her head and went inside. My hand went before I could think. It went into my pocket and got my phone. My fingers fiddled with my cell contacts. They pressed Lauren's contact and my phone started calling her. She didn't answer. I called her one more time this time she picked up. 

"Lauren where are you?!?" I yelled into the phone.

"Who is this? If you are looking for Lauren she will be at the marine park at 6. So if you want to see her be there at 6 or you will never see her again." The voice said. I've heard the voice before, but I couldn't put my finger on who it was.

My heart raced. The marine park was almost 20 minutes away and it was 6:18. I went into my car and pressed the petal as hard as could.

I stopped in front of the marine park and parked in the parking lot. I ran out of my car almost forgetting to lock it. My legs moved up down, side to side as they could running along the side of the park. I saw Luke starring me dead in the eye; there were 2 of them. One was tied up to a pole next to Lauren who was as pale as plain paper. I couldn't ask questions, so I moved toward the Luke who wasn't tied up and who was holding a knife and a remote with a button on it. 

My legs kicked kneeled him in the chest as hard as they could. He tried to get his knife out but I held his hand down with my leg and his other with my other leg. I struggled to get his knife out of his hand, but I finally got it free and threw it at Lauren. It cut the rope right in half. She loosened the rope and pushed the rope down to her feet. Lauren ran out and untied the other Luke. 

The Luke I was holding down struggled as hard as he could to get out of my feet. I punched him right on the head, gut, eye, mouth, chest. He seemed to be passed out so I slowly made my way off of him and onto the grass. My head filled with questions I asked "Who is this? Why is there two Lukes? Why were yall tied up?" Lauren took a deep breathe and said, 

"That is Luke's twin brother. He found out my secret so he tried to tie me up and send me into the police, but Luke tried to stop him so he tried to tie him up too. Luke's twin is named Jonathon." Luke looked at me with sad eyes and added "But that was really me last night at the beach." 

"Oh well that is good." I said with a smile.

"Are you one too?" Luke asked as he held my hands looking me straight in the eye.
My eyes met his. They were like glass that was just cleaned. My breathes got shorter and shorter until I looked up and nodded my head yes.

We all went back to Lauren's house after I told her what me and Luke did last night. She seemed okay with it so we all got in my car and went to her house. When we got there Claire came running out to hug Lauren. 

"Where have you been? Me and your mom were worried sick." She said as she loosened her hug on Lauren. 

"Claire I am so sorry. I totally forgot you were here." Lauren said hugging her back. 

"She accidentally fell asleep on a bus and didn't know where she was once she woke up. And her phone died." I said nudging Lauren. 

"Yep. That is how it went." Lauren said trying to sound normal. We started to walk in when Lauren poked me and whispered, "Thanks for the save."

I motioned her that it was okay and walked in the door. 

Claire starred at Luke with a slight evil in her eye. I knew she hated Luke, but now that he knows I'm keeping my eye on him. Besides now that we put his evil in jail I feel fine. Luke is nice, so I'm petty sure my secret is safe with him. 

The rest of the night we watched a movie until we all fell asleep. Lauren slept on the couch. Claire slept in her sleeping bag under the T.V. I slept in Luke's lap who was leaning on the couch. I curled up in the warm Olaf blanket and fell asleep half way through the movie. When Luke thought I was asleep he whispered in my ear "Your secret is safe with me." My lips formed a smile which faded once Claire started to snore. She snored fairly loudly for a lady like her.

Luke fell asleep right before me. His snores were cute. He breathed in, then a little puff of snore would come out. 

The next morning I woke up when a heard a big bang at the door. Bang, bang, bang; it came again, bang,bang,bang. Lauren finally got up and walked over to the door. It was Claire's mom. Somehow Claire got up three hours before us and started packing before her mom came. I don't know why three hours but she did. Luke stretched his arms and I got up. 

"How did you sleep?" he asked in a zombie like voice.

"Um; I guess fine but I could do for some more sleep." I answered as my arms opened wide to stretch. He looked at me and smiled with a wierd look in his eye.

"What?" I asked. He shook his head leaning it down toward the floor.

"What!" I repeated almost starting to yell.

"Even when you're tired you are still cute." he said finally answering.

"Really. That's it. Oh my gosh, you are so low." I said mocking him. He just started to laugh everytime I mocked him. 

After a few times I got up and walked toward the kitchen. I opened the cabnets to find some breakfast or just food in general. Luke came up behind me and scared me half to death. I screamed like a six year old. He just started laughing as I punched him in the arm. I punched so he would feel it but not so it would hurt. 
Lauren came back inside the house after saying bye to Claire. 

"So how is my favorite couple doing?" Lauren asked as she smiled and got out some milk from the fridge. 

"Well one of us might not be alive anymore." I sarcastically said while looking Luke dead in the eye. 

He grabbed a bowl of cereal and asked if I wanted some but I said no and poured me a glass of milk. Once my glass was full I went back to the couch and sat down. For an old couch Lauren's couch was fairly warm and soft. At my house everything is new and updated. Since my dad is a lawyer now he gets paid the big bucks. My dad thinks I should marry into rich also, but I told him I'm going to pick who I want to marry and that is the end of discussion. He never talked about it ever again. My mom became a beloved marine biologist. I help her figure out things in the sea. When I find out a problem I tell her immediately. She is the only marine biologist in the world to know about the under world of the volcano in Iceland. Every other biologist is afraid to look or go near there. The volcano is active. And to add on to that there were like thousands and thousands of sharks surrounding the area. When I went down there for her I turned into a shark so I would blend in. Somehow I still felt like all he sharks were silently judging me. Once I was done exploring I came back out and told my mom everything. Sometimes I feel that is the only reason she hangs out with me.

"Are you okay?" Luke asked me as he waved a hand in front of my face. I must have zoned out for a minute or something.

"Ya. I'm totally fine." I assured as my voice cracked. My mouth was so dry that I took another sip of water and gagged. 

I opened my mouth to say words but nothing came out. I tried again; this time words came out, "Do yall want to watch another movie because I'm getting bored." Lauren looked around almost like she was a spy or something then came over to me and asked, "Do you know any good swimming spots?" I smiled then looked at Luke. He looked at me concerned. 

"Actually I do." I began, " it's under a volcano." Lauren smiled and hoped into her room.

"Up for a swim lover boy?" I asked sticking my tounge out at him. 

"I can't swim like you and Lauren." Luke said assuring me.

"I know. That's why you need to come to my house." I informed him. He lifted one eyebrow and followed me out the door.
