I don't belong here.

Nora’s P.O.V

Just bloody typical, I was the first to hit the water. For a moment all I saw was waves and couldn’t manage to get my head out of the water, I started to panic….was I going to drown? I couldn’t catch my breath and my foot was tangled up in something, I couldn’t swim to the surface. My body was becoming tired and my muscles were growing weak, suddenly everything went black. I shortly woke afterwards by shouting; I was on the shore and trying to catch my breath.

“NORA?!”

Was that matt, had I been lost in the waves for a while? All of the clan were searching the water, and panic was plastered over each one of their faces. “SHE’S OVER HERE!” I heard someone shout towards my direction, I saw a collection of feet run towards me. “Oh thank god you’re alive” Matt grabbed me and pulled me into a hug, I wrapped my arms around him; he smelt like sea water, I wanted to stay like this forever. “You not getting rid of me that easy” he smiled.

“Im so sorry.” Johnny said as he helped me to my feet. “Stop it im fine, this tends to happen anyway when I go near water, ask Alex” She just smiled and nodded “Yep this must of happened at least four or five times now!” This made us all laugh, we decide to walk back to our stuff and start the BBQ up. As we walked up the beach, I saw two figures walking towards us in the distance, Brian? Who was the other person…?
I sat back in a deck chair and Matt sat on the floor in front of me and rested his back against the chair, I leaned over wrapping my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek, “You are truly something Mr Sanders” and leaned back in the chair and opened my beer, don’t ask me why I did that just I needed to, as much as said id keep away from the boys in that sense, I couldn't with Matt, like when I couldn’t resist inviting him in when we first met. I saw Matt stand up and look me dead in the eye, I smile was plastered on his face, he held out his hand “walk with me?” I couldn’t resist so I took his hand and we walked along the shoreline. “So what is it you want to talk about Matt?” I knew he wanted to talk, I could see it on his face, and he wasn't fooling anybody.

“So you and Brian eh”

“What about us, nothing is going on” He stopped and stood in front of me, we were face to face “Nora I know about the other night”. How did he know?! I bet it was Brian, god when I get my hands on him he better run.” What?! Im going to murder Brian, when did he tell you this?” His head hung low, he sighed then we were face to face again.
“He didn’t say anything, I just knew, he doesn’t even know I know, when I came to you I could smell him on your skin, I wasn’t stupid” I saw sadness in his eyes, I’d hurt him, again. “Im so sorry Matt, I was drunk, and I thought he was you, I don’t remember him leaving and it was dark so I thought it was you both times, I’ve done it again, you need to stay away from me” I turned away from him and started to walk back to the camp. Im trouble for both boys, this is the second time I’ve hurt Matt with Brian, I couldn’t do this, maybe im the reason Adam was the way he was, maybe I was what made him into an asshole.

Tears began to fall down my face, I couldn’t even think about Adam without wanting to cry or scream, I quickened my pace and began running back to the SUV when I passed the camp and saw Brian had turned up and he had brought a girl with him. I couldn’t see her face but I could see Alex’s who was sat opposite her and looked ready to kick off, I caught her attention and she mouthed words to me but I couldn’t make them out, but I guess everyone did as they all turned and stared at me, why were they staring, could they tell id been crying, had they heard mine and Matt's conversation? No it wasn’t that. “Hey Nora” Brian stood up and gave me a hug and kissed my cheek “hey Brian, who’s’ the chick?” I was curious to know who the hell she was. “Oh right yeah umm Nora meet Nikki” She stood up and I suddenly felt sick and stumbled back a little, there she was, she was back. Nikki was the girl I caught Adam with; she was attached to the turning point when Adam became a psychopath.

“Hey Nora, long time no see” She chuckled and smirked, oh Brian you've done it now, and as for Nikki I wanted to drag her ass to the sea and drown the bitch. “You know each other?” Brian was clueless, they all were, except Alex but I guess Zacky had clicked as well as he was holding Alex’s hand to keep her in her seat. “Yeah we do, let’s just say she’s from my past, why is she here Brian?” he looked at me, it was obvious he didn’t care; he cared about one thing and one thing only, himself.

“Nora, Nikki is my girlfriend” when I thought it couldn’t get anyone worse, the prick drops this bombshell, oh someone kill me now.

“That was quick, only a day or two ago you wanted to be with someone else” I said this knowing full well this is what everyone else was thinking.

“What are you doing here Nora, Adam getting bored?” The cheek she had to ask me why I was here, she already ruined one life, she isn’t about to ruin this one. She stood there with her arms crossed and her hip cocked out to the side “I ain’t going anywhere sweetie”, I was using everything in my power to not slap the bitch silly but It was too hard and just looking at her smug face made my rage even worse. “Brian you seriously fucked up with this one” I couldn’t believe him; all the boys knew about Nikki to a certain extent, Zacky was the only lad who new every detail, but Brian and the others knew the basic outline, in which Nikki was a part of. “Hey what happened between you and Nikki is your business, not mine” Now I was ready to kick his head in too, and by looks of Zacky and Alex, I wasn’t the only one.

Nikki walked and stood in front of me, her face practically touching mine “Nora my darling, get it in your head im not going anywhere, im back for good, and if that means making your life hell in the process, then I will do” she whispered this perfectly knowing if I did anything now, I’d look like the bad guy as I was the only one able to hear this. I saw matt walking back to the camp in the corner of my eye, I guess he’d heard the commotion and stood behind me, like as if he was ready to kick ass if anything happened. Nikki stepped away from me and smiled “I heard Adam is in town, god won’t you be in for a treat”.

That was it, that was what pushed me over the edge, I ran towards the bitch, grabbing a handful of her perfect blonde hair and pushed her to the ground, I straddled her and punched her in the jaw, she cupped her cheek but laughed “Guess you picked up a few neat little tricks from Adam “This deserved another punch but this time she caught my fist and twisted my arm and pushed me onto my back, now I was the one being straddled. She repeatedly slapped my face then pulled my head up to her face “Now I understand why Adam enjoyed hitting you” and with that she punched me. I suddenly felt a weight lift off of me, Alex had grabbed Nikki by her hair and was dragging her to the water; Nikki was kicking and screaming whilst I held my face in my hands.
I looked up at the boys, Brian was chasing after Alex and Nikki, so was Zacky, it appeared he was trying to release her grip, Jimmy, Johnny and Matt were knelt beside me “Are u ok? “ Jimmy said as he held an ice pack against my jaw. “Im fine, like she said im use to being a punching bag”, “But still she is a psychopath, where the fuck did Brian find her?”, “My dear Johnny, if I only I could answer that question!” We burst into laughter.

I looked for Matt and he was gone, he was pacing down the beach towards Alex and Nikki. During this moment, both Brian and Zacky were trying to get Alex off of Nikki, I know Alex, she was using the death grip and she wasn’t going to be letting go anytime soon. I got off of the ground and ran towards Alex, I tried to get to her but before I could I was lifted off of the ground by Brian and put over his shoulder “What the fuck?!” I started kicking and screaming, but nothing was working. Eventually I bit his arm and he dropped me “You fucking bitch, what the hell was that for!” He said as he dragged me from the floor by my arm, leaving a hand print when he was finished “I fucking bit you because im trying to get my mate away from Nikki, because if I don’t it won’t end well for both of them, but you pulled me away!” How dare him! Oh just looking at his face pissed me off, I turned round to pull Alex off of her but I felt a hand pull me back, I swung around and saw it was Brian, I slapped him up the face and scratched his cheek at the same time “Fuck Brian im so sorry I..I”.

He cupped his cheek and where I had scratched him was bleeding, he walked towards me. The look on his face was like he wanted blood. There was a rock behind me, my back was against it so there was nowhere for me to go. Brian placed his hands above me, almost pining me so I couldn’t move “You’re just fucking trouble aren't you, all you do is cause chaos” this hit me hard, it hurt to think this was the guy carrying me up to bed when Matt was being a dick, and now he was doing the same thing “Yes I guess I am, but I was trouble that you were willing to love” I saw tears gather in his eyes, but this time I felt nothing, Brian showed his true colours and it was then I realized he was perfect for Nikki.

His arms went back to his side, by this time Alex had given up on Nikki, she was beside Zacky whilst Nikki had managed to crawl back to Brian. I looked to Matt who had his hands and jaw clenched and Jimmy and Johnny had held of each of his arms, he had the same expression he had before he attacked Brian the first night round mine; something was going to happen I could fell it. I walked over to him and nodded to the boys to release him, he went to move but I stood in front of him and placed my hands on his chest “He isn’t worth it, let’s just go” He looked down at me and kissed my forehead, “I was so close to dragging him away from you and beating the shit out of him” “And im glad you didn’t” He held my swollen cheek in his hand “Let’s go home”, it was that moment I realised Matt was the one who had my heart and I was willing to let him have it. He put his arm around my waist and we went to walk back to the camp when Nikki opened her trap.

“Wait you’re going already, but we were having so much fun” I turned round ready to knock her on her ass again and this time we all were, me, Matt, Alex, Jimmy, Johnny and Zacky all had the same pissed off expression. Her face had a smile stretched across it and I knew all the drama that had just happened, the rift between me and Brian and everyone else for that matter, she was enjoying every moment of it.

“Seriously fuck off, Brian take you Mrs away now!” Matt spoke before I had the chance, I looked at Brian and I couldn’t make him out, was he feeling guilty or was he pissed off, he was confusing. “Let’s go home babe before someone rounds on you again” Brian said this as he pulled Nikki away as they started to walk, with that I felt a sudden urge to pounce at her but I was pulled back by Matt “Leave it, they ain’t worth it” “Agreed” everyone said in unison and with that Brian and Nikki were gone. We all sat at the camp and it was silent for ages, we were all drinking beers and staring into the sand. I was on the blanket with Matt, we were snuggled into one another and he had wrapped his big tattooed arms around me, this was the best part of today, this feeling I had inside of me. The feeling I hadn’t felt in a long time, could this be love, I couldn’t tell as I hadn't experienced this in a very long time. Eventually everyone was talking again, we were drinking and laughing and just having fun, it was like nothing had happened.

I leaned into Matt and felt him kiss my neck, sending shivers down my spine, god what this man could do to me was unbelievable, but we were interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw an unknown number was calling me “I’ll be back; I just have to take this” Matt nodded “Im here if you need me”.

I walked to the shoreline and answered the phone;

“Hello?”

“You looking stunning in your bikini haven’t seen you in that amount of clothing in a long time...”

“Adam! How the fuck did you get my number?!”

“Let’s just say a little blonde birdie gave it to me”. He snickered through the phone, I guess he was talking about Nikki; she must have got it from Brian.

“Well fuck off, I don’t need any more shit in my life, you’re a psychopath now do one!”
“That’s no way to talk to me baby, I love you, and you know that, you know im the only one who will ever make you feel loved. And as for Matt, you two are nothing, not while im around. Nora there is no point in running ill always finds you, you will never get rid of me, wherever you are, that is where I’ll be, and so if you know what is good for your darling Matt, you’ll come back to me”

“Stay away from Matt, you hear me!”

And with that the line was dead; Adam had hung up on me. How did he know about matt, was he here, I looked around but I could see no one, this made me feel scared, when I thought things were looking good, Adam happens.
