You and Bax have been friends since forever. You got into trouble together, surfed together. Name it and you did it

Recently Summer had come back from the states and the Victoria team was all on edge trying to win the big comp coming up. Elo and Wren had been causing Summer a lot of problems with the other surfers to get them pumped up to win

Lately Elo had been pushing all of you really hard, taking no one’s emotions into account, just winning

You were at the private beach you found with Bax when you guys were little. The water was calm so you had taken your board and paddled out as far as you could and just sat there on your board enjoying the peace and quiet

Bax silently paddled up behind you knowing you’d been really stressed. He paddled up next to you and gently put his hand on the small of your back

Bax: “You ok..?”
