Image





Nickname: "Ria" or "Ford"
Role: The good girl
Age: 16
Sexuality: Straight
Tattoos||Piercings||Scars: None||None||A few faint ones down her arms and one bigger one across her stomach from the abusive boyfriend.




Personality:
Ria is the good girl of the group, and that's something that will never change. She is the girl that will always make sure the rest of the group is safe, and if they need any help she will step in straight away. Her sweet attitude means she is a bit of a doormat and gets walked over by all her friends, although they do it with no ill intention. She is so innocent that few people would ever go low enough to pick on her, but if they do then they will find that she is extremely gullible. She is also very naive, and believes that she will find a perfect fairy tale ending with the perfect guy. She has never been successful at all with romance, as any boyfriend of hers just takes advantage of her, but she still remains optimistic. Ria keeps things looking bright when the group are going through some bad times. She can also be quite clumsy, but all her falls and mistakes are accompanied by a cheeky, cheery smile and a laugh.

History:
Ria grew up in a small home with her mom, dad, and little sister. She always played the part of being the caring older sister well, not just to her sister but to her friends as well. They were very close right from the start, and they spent a lot of time together as their moms were in the same sorority. During high school, they remained inseparable, and Ria was glad that they were always together. As they became more popular in high school, Ria earned her first boyfriend, who quickly walked all over her then moved on to the next girl within a week. Since then, Ria has had many more boyfriends, but they all cheat on her, or mistreat her.

Just a year ago, Ria found herself in an abusive relationship that she couldn't get out of. Thankfully, her friends were very supportive of her once they found out and helped her straighten her life out again. This didn't alter her happy personality, but she hasn't had a boyfriend since. She is really looking forward to this holiday and feels like she deserves it!

Ria hopes that she will find Mr. Right sometime soon, but could it be sooner than she bargained for?

So begins...

It had been a late night for Chris. He had been about town until the early hours of the morning, boarding, surfing and enjoying being outside. Around 1 AM he had fallen asleep on the beach, like many times before. He had been awoken by red and blue lights and two annoying men shouting at him. He had known the two officers as officers of the law, Jensen and Harding. He had met them before on one of his other nightly stake outs. He did not like them very much, but to be honest, he didn't hate them either. Chris' parents always said they were just doing their job, but he disagrees. There were better things to do than to wake someone from his sleep. Weren't there drug dealers to apprehend, weapons to confiscate and burglars to bust?

When they woke him up it had only been 3 AM and he decided to go home to finish his sleep. He picked up his longboard, stepped on it and went home. On the way he saw a few of his works of art. He didn't care what others said, they really brightened up the boring streets. When he arrived back home he saw a car in front of the neighbours house. It had been a while since he had seen them, and even then they never really spoke. He knew there were two parents, one son and one daughter. The girl was his age and the guy must be a bit older than him. He could see flashing lights from their window which probably meant they were watching TV.

Chris walked to the ugly little frog statue that his mother had always loved. Out of the mouth of the artificial amphibian he took the key to the front door. Maybe it wasn't the safest place to keep it, but better that than losing it while surfing. He opened the door to step into the dark house. Definitely no one awake here.... He went up the stairs to his room and fell down on his bed. He was supposed to at least shake some of the sand out of his dreadlocks, but he was too tired. Not ten minutes later his eyes were shut and he was in dreamland.

...

A white sandy beach could be seen in the distance as Chris crossed the waves. He seemed to move with ease, almost like the board was surfing by itself. On the shore he could see people waiving at him. Somehow he could smell bacon and eggs, although he could not tell where it was coming from. Out of no where he could here a scream: "CHRISTIAN!!!" With a shock he woke up and still in the middle of his dream he shouted back: "BACON!" Opening his eyes he was confused for a few seconds. In the door opening he could see Em standing and with the big smile on her face it was very clear that she had been the one shouting his name. With a smile on his face he grabbed his pillow and threw it in her direction. "I'll get you Em, how dare you disturb my beauty sleep."

He stood up from his bed and looked at his sheets. They were filled with sand, and Chris whispered to himself. "Great, no wonder I dream about the beach." He grabbed his sheets by all four corners and shook the sand out of the window. Then he put on some shorts and went downstairs to see if he could get some breakfast, and maybe some revenge...

Amber woke up in one of the rooms of the beach house. She had no idea how she came there. The last thing she remembered was Rachel McAdams kissing James Marsden and after that it was all kind of a blur. She did not hear any noise downstairs, but she did hear someone showering in the room next to hers. She thought of showering herself, but didn't really feel like it. Why should she, she had already showered when they arrived yesterday evening after a full day in the car.

The shower stopped and she waited for a few minutes before getting up. She grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a simple top and jumped into the bathroom before anyone else would beat her to it. After brushing her teeth she put her hair in a ponytail and splashed some water on her face. Hearing her stomach grumble she was thinking of her normal daily breakfast of French toast or scrambled eggs and sausages. It's not all bad to live in a house where your mom is always home, it has its perks. Here she would probably have to do with cereal. She didn't mind at all though. This seemed to be the first time that her controlling parents were not really there to keep an eye on her. Already it felt like heaven.

Fully awake she exited the bathroom and walked down the stairs. From the corner of her eye she saw Zach sitting on the counter when she was on her way to the back porch, where she figured her friends would be. Seeing him there sitting alone she doubted about going outside. Smelling the coffee did it, and she walked over to the kitchen to get a cup. "Good morning" she said softly. She wasn't sure if she should say anything else. She didn't really know the guy and there was something about him that made her doubt if she really wanted to know him. He sat there pretty quietly while Amber poured her cup. She blew on the hot coffee before taking a sip. "I'm just gonna go outside", she walked over to the door, "well, are you coming?"

Not checking if he followed she opened the door to step out on to the back porch. She saw two of her friends and Ashley's brother standing there. In fact Austin was one of her very few exes, although she doubted that he remembered. She had been about 5 or 6 years old when she was playing outside with Ashley, Sam and Ria. Austin had also been outside playing with friends of his own. Out of nowhere Amber had gotten up, walked over to him and asked him to be her boyfriend. He had said yes and she had walked back to her friends not saying anything about what just happened. Only 3 hours later she had gotten up again, walked over once more and told him it was over. So for about 3 hours they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She was pretty sure he had no idea, and she knew for sure that her friends didn't.

She hadn't seen him in a long time, at least not in real life. "Good morning everyone. Hey Austin, how are you doing?" She took another sip of her coffee and felt the warmth going through her body.[color=0091FF] "Is Ria still sleeping?"[/color] She looked around since the Musketeers were not complete until Ria was here.

Ria sighed, rolled over, and plunged her face into her pillow again. She suspected that all her friends had gotten up now, but she really didn’t want to move, even though she was excited to start the holiday. The journey yesterday had exhausted her, and she had been having bad dreams all night. She had seen her ex while she was out alone yesterday morning, buying a few last minute things, and it had really scared her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop him from controlling her, not completely. She couldn’t stop him from scaring her.

Deciding that her friends were probably waiting for her, she groaned, sat up and swung her legs out of the bed. Fumbling around in her wardrobe, she grabbed some jeans and a jumper, and went to the bathroom to have a shower. The water woke her up a bit more, and once she was dressed she quickly brushed her teeth and combed her hair, letting it hang loose over her shoulders.

She slowly walked downstairs, greeted Zach and made herself a cup of tea, a drink that she preferred over coffee. Even though she could see her friends outside, she took her time, making sure that it was perfect. There was nothing better than a nice cup of sugary tea in the mornings.

Picking up her mug, Ria stepped outside, but hovered next to the door. “Good morning, girlies,” she greeted, then took in the presence of Ashley’s brother. “And Austen,” she added. “Who’s hungry? I was thinking of making breakfast now. What does everyone want?”

That was Ria for you. Always the good girl, always the helpful. It was in her nature, and it made her happy. Plus, it could always distract her from whatever was on her mind.

“So Mouse, have you told mom and dad you’re going to disappoint them, just like I did.” He smirked and Ashley matched his smirk with one almost identical to his as she rolled her eyes.

“No.” she said simply. “I haven’t told the girls yet either, so let’s keep that topic on the DL alright biggs.” She said just as the back door opened and she glanced up to see Sam and she gave her friend a smile.

"Morning, Ashley and Austen. Hope I am not interrupting a brother and sister moment, am I?" Austin gave her a simple two finger wave and a nod as a greeting. She was beautiful, but that was nothing new, Austen had grown up around the girls they’d always been pretty every single one of them.

“Course not doll.” Ashley said happy to have her friend join them. “Take a seat babe, I was just telling Austen here how much I missed him, right boo?” she said glancing to her older brother and Austen nodded, giving a small chuckle.

Before Austen had a chance to speak up, Amber was next to emerge from the door. Austen had to admit, he’d missed his girls. He doubted that they even knew that he thought of them as his girls, but he did they were all like sister’s to him simply because he’d known them for so long. Ashley’s one rule was she didn’t care if he dated any of them, but it’s hoes before bros and just cause he was her brother didn’t mean she wouldn’t kick his ass for hurting one of her friends.

"Good morning everyone. Hey Austin, how are you doing?" Ashley glanced up to Amber as she spoke. "Is Ria still sleeping?"

“Pretty good, glad to be back with my favorite ladies of course.” He said shooting her a charming smile to which he heard his sister scoff. “I haven’t seen her so I assume so.” He shrugged.

Just then as if she’d been cued, Ria stepped out of the back door and Ashley smiled to her as she grabbed Amber’s wrist gently and pulled her into her lap. She loved her friends more then they knew and they were ridiculously close, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Good morning, girlies, And Austen,” Ria chirped happily, which only put Ashley in a better mood, Ria was always happy which seemed to put everyone else in a good mood. “Who’s hungry? I was thinking of making breakfast now. What does everyone want?” she asked happily.

“Oh! I’ll help.” Ash said kissing Amber’s cheek, before pushing her up gently and grabbing Austen and pulling him up from his chair. “You need to unpack Ace.” She said glancing to Sam and Amber. “You ladies mind helping my handsome brother bring all his shit inside, while Ria and I make breakfast?” she asked. “Oh and Austy, why don’t you stop by Chris and Em’s house and see is they’d like to join us for breakfast.” She smiled, interlocking her arm with Ria’s.

“Chris and Em still live next door?” he asked and Ashley nodded. The dover family had been vacationing in crystal beach every summer their entire lives, so it was only natural that they knew their neighbors. In face Chris and Ash used to keep Em company on hot summer days in the hospital when they were kids, while Austen would sing to her.

“Duh.” Ashley said, like he was an idiot. “Zach attack spent the night last night, he really missed us.” Ashley smirked. Zach was their other neighbor and Ashley had always had a crush on him, she could remembered, sitting on the porch in the mornings waiting for him to leave the house or writing Mrs. Chesterfield all over her notebooks when she’d have to go home after summer, but she doubted he even remembered her name most the time.

Austen raised a brow. “Really now?” Austen had never really cared for Zach, he was the kind of guy he tried not to be.

“Go.” Ashley ordered as she opened the door and pulled Ria inside with her. She went over to the stereo and slipped in one of Lady Gaga’s older CDs and turned up load as she made her way into the kitchen to help her friend cook breakfast.

Ria smiled at Ashley’s offer to help, watching the display of sisterly affection in front of her and finding it quite normal.

“You ladies mind helping my handsome brother bring all his shit inside, while Ria and I make breakfast?” Ash asked Sam and Amber. “Oh and Austy, why don’t you stop by Chris and Em’s house and see is they’d like to join us for breakfast.”

Ria wasn’t sure if she knew who Chris and Em were, or if she’d met them before, but she decided to save her questions until they were inside.

She linked arms with Ash and followed her inside, or rather, was dragged behind her. While her friend was putting some music on, Ria gathered the necessary equipment to cook their breakfast. When Ash came back into the kitchen, she decided to ask about the neighbours.

“Did you have a good night’s sleep?” She began politely, before getting straight to the point. “Do I know Chris and Em?” She asked, washing her hands so that she could start cooking. “I don’t really remember.”

Chris listened to his cousin with rolling eyes as he often did. The talking genes of the family must have come from his mothers side, because his Em and his mom could both talk his ears off, while he and his dad hardly said a word. Chris didn't think that his cousin was right How can a person ever be lonely if you're surfing almost every day. If only he could ever say no to her, but he had never been able to. Not before she got sick and not during her sickness, to him she was his little sister and she had heard the word 'no' more than enough in her life. Who was he to say the same thing...Fine, fine, we'll go after breakfast and getting dressed. And if you want to run my life, like you do so well, do you want to pick out my clothes as well? What kind of food do you think mom made? If it's any kind of desert, I'm keeping it. He replied to her with a wink. At least he had surfing to look forward to. And maybe they had plans already and wouldn't have a lot of time for Em and him.

The eggs and bacon were done and he grabbed some plates from one of the cupboards. Each plate he filled with two slices of toast, some bacon and a freshly finished omelet. He put the plates on the counter and got some cutlery. Handing Em her fork and knife he sat himself on another bar stool on the opposite side of his cousin. Looking at his plate he started to dig in only to be finished 5 minutes later. Why does it always take so much time to make, and so little to eat... He stood up and put his dirty dish in the sink. Em..., I'm going to take a shower and brush my teeth, then I'll be done. And by the way, I would love to become an old man with dreads. With that he climbed up the stairs.

Back in his room he quickly undressed and stepped into his bathroom. He turned on the shower so the water could get warm. Then he prepared his toothbrush before he stepped under the nice hot water. They were lucky enough to have a bathroom with every bedroom. He never had to share and nobody cared how long he stood under the shower. Even now there was still sand coming from his hair and body, that stuff just gets everywhere... He was only in the shower for about 15 minutes before he got out, kind of a record time for him. Coming out he searched for his swimming shorts, they were going to surf afterwards, so best to be prepared. Since it seemed impolite to him to meet new people without a shirt on, he grabbed one from his cupboard. Seeing as they lived next to the beach he thought he would be okay without shoes or flip flops. Last but not least he opened his drawer of wrist bands. He'd never counted them, but he must have at least 50 matching sets.He grabbed one for his left arm, and one for his right arm.

He went down the stairs again and called for Em' as he came down. "Well..., am I approved?" He spread his arms and turned around in front of his cousin.

Amber smiled at Austin's answer. He'd better be happy to see us, we have been his 4 biggest fans since before he could even play one note. Hearing the sliding door open she turned around to see Ria coming out as if Amber's question had been a magic spell. Before she could say anything Ashley had pulled her on her lap. Although it was sudden and she hadn't expected it, she felt quite comfortable with her new seat. She tried to hide a big yawn, but wasn't doing a very good job. Still feeling tired she laid her head down on Ashley's shoulder. Thank goodness that Ria mentioned breakfast, her stomach had continued to grumble lightly ever since she stepped out of bed. She could also be glad that Ash would help with breakfast. Amber herself had never prepared any food in her entire life, as her friend knew all too well. The highest culinary achievement she had reached was emptying a bag of chips in a bowl and opening a jar of onion dip.

Ash kissed her cheek and as if a command Amber stood up. Standing again she stretched and was happy to help with getting Austin's stuff into the house. At least that was something she could do. "Okay Aussy, key me! If you just ask the neighbours over, I'm sure Sam and I can talk Zach into helping us." she said while putting her arms around Sam's shoulders. "We can be your roadies for today." Amber grabbed Sam's hand and dragged her inside after her. She walked straight to Zach, took the juice from his hand and put it on the counter before grabbing his hand with her free one. "Zach.., us ladies need a hand with Austin's stuff and I think this one will do perfectly." She waited patiently to see if he would come with or not.

If they would hurry up with emptying the car breakfast would be done much sooner. It didn't make much sense, but Amber believed in that. She was curious to meet the other neighbours. She had heard enough in stories, but had never really seen them. And quite honestly Ashley usually spoke more about her other neighbour, Zach. She didn't really know what Ashley saw in him, but Amber was sure she had her reasons.

Samantha smiled towards Ashley when she stated that she wasn’t interrupting but her response about missing Austen made her smile even more. She couldn’t even look at Austen without blushing, or looking off to the side. She sat down in a chair beside Ashley, which so happen is right in front of Austen. When she saw his lips were moving to speak, he didn’t because Amber emerged from the inside, along with Zach. She rolled her eyes at them both, ruining a moment of perfection, which was Austen speaking. She often wondered if Austen knew that she had a major crush on him but she also kept her distant to prevent from being hurt – Again.

When Austen finally did speak, he basically said that he missed spending time with everyone. Luckily for her, Ria was next to come to the back porch, so she didn’t have to hide her blush any longer. “I want pancakes!” She squealed while raising her hand briefly. Her eyes fluttered over towards Ash, who eagerly wanted to help with breakfast. Sam would’ve helped as well but she was volunteered to help Austen unload his bags. What she look like, a bellman? She chuckled softly while shrugging her shoulders. “Su..” She couldn’t even finish agreeing to help before being dragged inside by Amber.

She stopped to see if Zach was willing to help. “After the way he acted outside, I seriously doubt that he’ll help much. He’s probably still high off some illegal shit.” She removed her linked arm from Amber’s while walking towards the outside, not feeling the least bit sorry for her words towards Zach.

She didn’t really hate him – She just didn’t like his actions after high school. She simply shook her head to herself as she waited beside Austen’s car for Amber.

Zach sipped his glass of orange juice again then seen Amber walk down the stairs. A smile crept across his face as she spoke to him. “Morning.” He instantly replied while looking down then back up at her when she invited him to go outside. He wasn’t so sure how everyone actually felt about him, considering his track record with drugs, drinking, prison and the list goes on and on. Zach jumped off of the counter and walked outside, right behind Amber as he didn’t really speak to anyone. He felt their eyes burning a hole through him though. He wasn’t in the talking mood this morning, maybe it was because he is not really a morning person.

He really missed everyone but how would they feel about him being on probation now. His head lowered to the ground with a sigh as his eyes went up to Ria when she mentioned breakfast. At that time, he started making his way back into the kitchen and sat right back up on the counter. His eyes flashed towards Ashley and Ria as they entered the kitchen. He smiled towards them and nodded his head slightly.

It seemed like he didn’t have time to say anything since he had his orange juice taken from him by Amber. His usual remark would be to call her a bitch but he held it in, which he likes to call progress. He was fixing to respond and agree but heard Samantha’s words then couldn’t take it anymore. “What is your problem with me?!” Zach asked Samantha, who didn’t bother listening but just simply walked away. He huffed while eyeing Amber, Ashley and Ria then turned around, walking upstairs to the guest room, where he stayed the night.

Zach slammed the door behind him absolutely angry with Samantha after her accusations on him in front of Amber, Ria and most importantly, Ashley. He’s been clean for almost a month now – Honestly. He sat down on the edge of his bed and his head in his hands as he let out a frustrated yell.
