I looked around to see my surroundings. That annoying beep-beep-beep machine was 2 feet away from the bed I was in. No one was in the room with me. I could feel something on my head, so I brought my hand up & felt around my head. There was a bandage of some sort wrapped around my head. It was then when I touched my head, I felt a little pain, causing me to remembering how I had ended up here. Just then, a doctor came into the room. He had a clipboard in his hand. A nurse also entered right behind him. "Hi Tanner, I'm Dr. Clugman. How are you feeling right now, bud?" he asked me. He seemed like a nice guy. "Really out of it right now" I said. I felt drunk out of my head, probably the painkiller I was on. "Haha, well that's normal with the medicine you're on right now. Now Tanner, your parents & a few friends are out in the waiting room. I've already told your folks what we've seen. You want me to tell you, or would you like your parents to tell you things?" "Um, I guess you can tell me." "Ok. Well you have what we call a 'level 2' concussion. Whatever hit your head ed the skull a little bit, so there was some leakage of fluids, to say the kindest." "Ok. So now what?" I asked. "Well, we have to keep you here over night to make sure everything stays working, ok?" "Alright." Dr. Clugman then left the room after he wrote some stuff down on the clipboard. This whole time, the nurse had been examining my bandage & leaning me forward to look down the back of my hospital shirt thing. A few minutes later, mom, dad & Ben came in through the doorway & walked up to my bedside. Dad started to talk to the nurse, while mom kept saying "everything is going to be alright" & Ben was looking at the equipment in the room. "Hey big guy, we got great news" said dad when he came over. "Any news right now would be great news" I said. "Ok then, how about a trip to San Diego?" replied Ben. A vacation? That was certainly not the first thing I was thinking of. "Huh? I mean, I'm glad, but it's not exactly the best time" I said, showing my surroundings using my hands. "Well not right now, but next week when you're on vacation, so we're going to go then." "Alright. Oh, & we have a special guest for you" said dad. Jamie walked in just then & smiled at me. I couldn't help smile back. Jamie was going to join me in my time of pain. I was silently thanking God for this true miracle. Next week came & I had fully recovered from my head injury. Thank God. On Friday night, we left Miami on a plane that went from Miami, to Chicago, to Las Vegas, & then arrived in San Diego. After getting a taxi, we were cruising past all different kinds of places. It was amazing. "Dude! this place is so sick!" he exclaimed. "I know, & it barely cost my folks anything to fly here, thanks to my dads promotion. But mom told me that this is the last huge thing we're going to do for a while" I said to Jamie, who was gawking at the place around him. "Ok." We arrived at a hotel, which looked pretty nice. My folks checked us in while Jamie & I went walking very fast through the lobby, the dining room, the pool room (which we fell in love with), the game room & the lounging area outside. I'm glad that I live in Miami, but living here would be awesome too I thought. My parents walked up to us & started talking to us both about some info we needed to know before our time here could really start. Jamie & I had our own separate hotel rooms, so that was pretty cool. "Ok boys, in case anything happens, heres a list of information you need to know" said mom as she handed us both an index card that had important crap on it. "Alright, this is the Hyatt Hotel. It's on 1 Market Place, & their number is 1-619-232-1234, ok? This is in case something happens, which I hope it won't" said dad. "Remember, you guys also have both of our cell numbers." "Yup" replied Jamie & me. We couldn't wait to go have fun. And later that night, we would make sure we had fun. But for now, we were given $500 each for what we wanted during our time here. Our first thing to do was we raced to the arcade room & exhausted the machines in there. It was so cool! Jamie & I then went to a close-by skate shop & picked out a pair of rollerblades each. We wanted to get to places fast, without paying for a ride, except these blades of course. We bladed our way to the movies, & then went to the beach. We stayed there for a long time. We were in the water for a little while & then we came out & took a walk. We didn't hav to bring our stuff because we left it in the lockers over by the main entrance to the beach. Jamie & I talked about us during the walk. There were people around, but we didn't care if they overheard. We didn't live here, didn't know know anyone, except for Riley & Ryan from when we went to Stars Burn Bryter. But I doubted they were here. "So you glad you got to come along?" I asked him. "You bet I am. Thank your folks for me, ok?" he said as he kissed me on the cheek. Some people were looking over at us, but we still didn't care. Most people just saw & continued with what they were doing. "You know, I think this trip was what you & me needed Tan, I mean, a lot of stuff has happened back home & I think we both just needed a short break from it." "I agree. I hope when we get home, everything turns back to normal. Or even better, turn out like this." "Well, when you think about it," said Jamie as he took my hand into his, "theres a difference, but not a huge difference between here & Miami. I mean, we get nice weather, nice beaches & other cool stuff." More people were looking over at us, two 14 year old boys holding hands on the public beach. I still didn't care. I would show the whole world, as long as no one I actually knew saw. "Yeah, but thats home, this is vacation. I love both, but it's still nice to get away you know." "Yeah..." Jamie trailed off as he kissed me on the cheek again. We were reaching a part of the beach where there were less people & where a wall of rocks prevented us from reaching, or even seeing the other side of the beach. Jamie & I climbed around the rocks & had to go into the warm water now & then, but we eventually made it to the other side of the beach, which was completely deserted. We took each others hand again & stood on the sand looking out at the water, standing next to each other, my head on his shoulder. Feeling risky, I reached my hand down to his crotch area & started to feel him through his bathing suit. I could feel his getting hard under my touch. I slipped my hand down his waistband & jerked him. He was definitely in the mood. I looked around. No one was around. I though I'd make the biggest risk ever with him, right here on the deserted beach. "You want to risk it?" I asked him. "Do you?" he smiled at me. I melted. I grinned. I was going to like this. I looked into his golden eyes. "I love you." "Me too" he said. We chuckled about it. I grabbed the waistband of his bathing suit, ready to pull it down to start our biggest excitement yet. http://realdream.10.forumer.com please drop by
