Brighton Beach

Derek POV

You opened your eyes to everyone still there. Mark and Julien were out and Timur was downing another bottle of vodka. You could never understand how the russians could do that. You started to sit up and you started to feel the vodka you drank earlier coming into effect.

Derek: Ah fuck, that vodka is starting to kick in.

Glaz: I would say you're a lightweight but you chugged that bottle and that was your second time drinking.

Derek: Yea haha, where are the girls.

Glaz: They went for a little walk not too long ago.

Derek: Alright, say was this notepad always on my leg?

Glaz: Nah a girl ran up and just left it there. Mark and Julien saw it happen aswell.

Derek: Huh, guess I am getting digits.

Glaz: Da comrade.

You looked over and saw a sand hill with a bunch of kids playing on it.

Derek: They look to be having fun.

Glaz: Yea, although it does look like some trouble is coming up.

As he said that a small group of people walked up to the hill. You saw them say something to the kids and when they didnt leave you heard them start to yell at them.

Derek: I'll.. be right back.

Glaz: You do that.

You got up and started to walk over to the hill, you got up there are and accessed the situation.

Derek: Hey what gives they were trying to have fun.

Guy 1: Yea well that's too bad, this spot looked nice to chill at.

Derek: So what you could've just waited for them to leave before you came up not yell at them.

Guy 1: They're brats.

Derek: They're like 9-12 Dick.

Guy 1: Say that again

Derek: You heard me.

He went to shove you but you grabbed his shoulders and threw him down the hill.

Derek: This just went from being your chill spot to king of the hill. You 3 wanna try aswell?

The other 3 began to rush you. You ducked under one and threw him over your shoulder so he rolled down the hill. Another came up to jab you but you grabbed his hand and gave him a jab to his gut and then pushed him to the side. The last one you swept his feet and then kicked him down.

Derek: Alright, you done yet.

Guy 1: Go fuck yourself. *starts to wlak away*

Derek: And for the record I'm gonna be keeping an eye over here so if I see you guys again, it aint gonna be pretty. *turns to kids* You can can come back up and play, I'll be watching though to make sure it doesnt happen again.

Kid: Thanks mister.

Derek: No problem.

You got down from the hill and walked back to the group.

Mute: Nice show you just did there.

Derek: Hehe, was it that noticeable?

Mute: You knocked 4 guys on their asses on a hill... it was pretty noticeable.

Derek: Damn, well they had it coming.

Mute: We know, Timur told us why you went over there. Anyways we were gonna head back in a bit. You coming?

Derek: Nah, I'll stay here with the rest of the girls and just wait till the kids leave aswell.

Derek: I'm gonna keep an eye on them every so often.

Mute: We were planning on heading back when Emma gets back if you wanted to come back with us.

Derek: Nah, I'll just stay here with the girls and make sure the kids leave first.

Mute: Alright then.

IQ: Hey guys, so you leaving.

Emma: Just me and them.

Grace: I'll go aswell, I need to go take a shower.

Derek: I'm staying here.

Mute: He's babysitting

Derek: just until their parents take them back.

IQ: Alright, have fun you guys.

The group walked away and you were just sitting on your towel.

Derek: So how was the walk.

IQ: It was nice, couple guys asked for our numbers.

Derek: What did you say?

IQ: Our jobs make us too busy to reply.

Derek: So in other words no.

Ela: Yea basically.

Derek: You know, I really needed this. It's calming.

Ela: Yea, it really is.

Derek: I wish I could be here everyday. I dont know why but I just feel more relaxed.

IQ: Almost like everything holding you down just finally let go?

Derek: Yea, all this heavy weight was just gone.

IQ: You ok?

Derek: Me? Yea i'm fine, its just been stressful lately.

IQ: Wanna talk about it?

Derek: It's nothing serious. Just having a new environment and just remembering the good times you had with your squad just flooding back and you miss it.

Alibi: Dont worry about it for now, just think about it, you'll see them again one day. Just like your sister.

Derek: Yea, I can only hope.

Ela: By the way your face is gonna be pale compared to your body.

Derek: *Lying* Nah I took it off while you guys were gone.

Ela: Really?

Derek: Nah I'm just fucking with you. I didnt even touch it.

Random Girl: Hey can I ask your help for a sec?

Derek: Yea sure whatsup.

Chelsea: Sorry I should probably introduce myself I'm Chelsea.

Derek: Nice to meet you Chelsea, what is it that you need?

Chelsea: Just need help carrying some stuff back to our apartment. My boyfriend left and he forgot some stuff and they're pretty heavy.

Derek: Yea sure no problem.

Chelsea: Thank you so much. Just follow me.

Derek: Alright *to Monika and the girls.* Can you guys keep an eye on those kids?

IQ: Yea sure just go help her out.

Derek: Alright, I'll be right back.

You got up and followed Chelsea back to her friends.

Chelsea: We just need help with the cooler and this bag of stuff.

Derek: Yea no problem.

You pickes uo the cooler and the bag and started to walk with them.

Melanie: Incase you were wondering, I was the one who left the note on your leg.

Derek: Really?

Melanie: Yea, I'm the one who pinted you out for help.

Derek: Oh ok, sorry about that, but I might not reply alot, my job is a bit busy so I rarely have time to look at my phone.

Melanie: Where do you work?

Derek: I work on a military base. I'm an Mechanic so I help out with fixing the vehicles and such.

Melanie: That's cool, so you go to college?

Derek: Nah I was self taught by my father and when I turned 17 I got a job there. This is my only free time really so I'm spending the weekend with some of my friends here.

Chelsea: I dont mean to be rude to ask, but what's with the mask?

Derek: None taken, I just wear it for personal reasons. Dont really like to show my face to the public.

Melanie: How long have you been working at the place?

Derek: This'll be my 4th year there.

Chelsea: So you're 21?

Derek: I'm actually 20. I turn 21 in a few months.

Chelsea: Shit wait hold on I'll be right back I forgot my little brother.

Derek: Yea that wouldve been bad.

Chelsea ran back to go get her brother and that just left you with Melanie and two others.

Melanie: Incase you were wondering these two are Amanda and Maddie.

Derek: Pleasure to meet you two.

Amanda: you're a rare occurance.

Derek: What you mean.

Amanda: Well I mean for starters you're nice.

Derek: haha thanks, my name is Derek by the way.

Maddie: That's a nice name.

Derek: Thanks.

Chelsea came back with her littke brother.

Matt: Hey you're the guy who helped us out after those group of guys yelled at us.

Derek: ahah yea I was.

Chelsea: You helped out my brother?

Derek: Yea there was a group of guys who went up their hill and micked them off so I dealt with them.

Matt: Yea he was like "This is king of the hill" bam and then another guy went uo and he was like bang.

Melanie: You know how to fight?

Derek: I went through basic training aswell and during most of my off time practiced with a punching bag and a friend of mine.

Maddie: Wow

Derek: Yea, we would beat the crap out of eachother some nights.

Chelsea: Wish my boyfriend knew how to fight.

Derek: Everyone has their own style... theres was just sloppy and easy to read.

Matt: It was awesome. There was 4 of them and he took them all out.

Melanie: Four!?!

Derek: Like I said, they were easy to read. Their mistake was going at me one by one... except for the last two.

Melanie: Damn, you're good.

Chelsea: anyways we're here. Just come inside and put the cooler near the fridge and you can be free to go back to your friends.

You walked inside with them and you saw a guy sitting on the couch.

???: who's this.

Chelsea: John, this is Derek. He helped bring bag the heavy stuff that you forgot.

John: haha, sorry about that. *puts hand up to shake*

Derek: *accepts it* It was no biggie, anyways I'm gonna head back, it was nice meeting you guys.

Melanie: Bye.

You walked out of their house and back to the beach back to the girls. You arrived back and they were sunbathing again, except they had their straps off.

Derek: Woah ok.

IQ: Problem?

Derek: No, just wasnt ready to come to see that.

IQ: Its not like you actually see our boobs.

Derek: True but still.

IQ: Anyways most of the kids left, there's only really 2 left.

Derek: Alright.

Ela: Hey we should spend the next day on the boardwalk.

Derek: that'll be nice.

IQ: Yea it would.

You watched as the last two leave to go back home.

Derek: Well thats the last of em.

Ela: We didnt see them come back by the way.

Derek: That's good to know

IQ: The sun's starting to set. We should start heading back.

Derek: Yea we should.

You grabbed your tanktop and put it back on with your glasses and hat. The girls tied their straps back on and put on their shorts and shirts.

IQ: Ready?

Derek: always am.

Ela: Lets go.

You all started to walk back to your hotel and when you got back you split off from the girls so they can do their own thing. You entered the guys room to see mark and Julien watching a soccer game and Timur playing five finger filette. You closed the door and locked it and took off your balaclava.

Mute: Woah.

Derek: What.

Mute: You're taking it off?.

Derek: Eh I trust you guys besides, not like anyone else'll see. Names Derek by the way.

Glaz: It's good to meet you Derek.

Rook: Yea, can say the same thing.

Mute: So the girls cant see your face?

Derek: Hehe, nope. Might fuck with them tomorrow about it though. Most I'll tell them is my name. Anyways I'm gonna lie down for a bit.

Mute: You do that. You went into the room and laid down on your bed. You stared at the ceiling as you listened to Mark yell at the TV since his team was losing. This made you laugh.

Derek: Oh how I'm glad I gained their trust.
