I turn to face hieous eyes “Lucas is gonna help ”

“You don’t owe ht?” he shoves a hand in his pocket and shuffles on his feet

“Right Friends”

I give him a sad wave and walk back in the direction of his brother and so Each step I take away fro heavier

I glance back overme

“Zane…” He looks up “You want to come?”

His gaze shifts down the beach to his brother and I wonder what caused such a rift between them It has to be more than me

“Better not You go ahead”
