Life's A Real Beach (Evie, Ronan, Owen)

[Deleted]

Camber Sands Beach. Near London.

Jade and Ronan didn't get a lot of fancy vacations on their salaries, but a trip to Camber was doable. Besides, Jade wanted to spend some time with Evie and Owen Holden, and... well she felt it was about damn time Ronan made some friends too. The beach was nice and they had a spot to themselves so no one was around to gripe at her and Ronan for smoking. They had a barbeque going and a cooler of beer and sodas. That was all they really needed along with beach chairs and sunscreen of course.

Glad in a black one piece and shades, Jade sat in a chair sitting her beer and smoking a cigarette. She watched the ocean as she did so and smirked.

"Any of you ever think we could just jump in that and swim somewhere else?" she asked. "Get the hell away from this damn continent?"

Ronan was glad that he and Jade could finally get some time off. They both had been going to school and working to make ends meet, and he especially wanted his sister to be able to relax. Especially after the trouble he had caused her with her job a few months earlier. He had seen Owen and Evi around from time to time but Ronan didn't really talk much to people other than Jade. He was too busy working and going to school and he just figured he wouldn't get along with them.

However, so far he had enjoyed their company on this outing. Especially since their company seemed to make Jade happier too. He was glad Jade had made a friend in Evi and was relaxing on a chair now putting the cigarette to his mouth as he smiled thinking abou how things seemed to be looking up a bit for them.

He turned to Jade who asked everyone else a question. "It would be interesting. But it won't be long before we're done with school. Maybe we can see what's out there after we graduate?" he suggested.

Owen coughed just a bit at the smoke, but it didn't bother him too much. He had been around it walking the streets of New York, along with other distinct smells. Also the smoke from the grill was blocking most of it out. Owen had a knack for grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, having learned back home when the family had gone to Maine on various trips.

"I'm with Jade," said Owen, clad in a black t-shirt, green shorts, and also wearing sunglasses. "I'd love to just jump in that bad boy and swim back to the NYC." He looked at the hotdogs. "There was this dude who had this cart down from where Evie and I lived, made some mean bratwursts. Put some mustard and relish on those son of a guns and you had perfection in a bun. Cheap too for that and a soda pop." And speaking of, Owen sipped from his can of soda before looking at Evie and Jade. "By the way, this was a right on idea, ladies. Nice to be out of Godric's Hellhole for a day."

Evi was relaxing in the lounge chair she had been sitting on when Jade spoke up about wanting to swim away from the place, Ronan was very litteral with his response and then Owen agreed with Jade. "I think that would be awesome. Though Paris would be closer in a car." she half-joked. Then she realized that Ronan and Jade might actually not know what a car was. But she didn't explain, figuring she could explain if they asked about it.

When Owen talked about the bratwurst cart that had been not far from where they lived she remembered it fondly. "Ooh I forgot about the bratwursts, been forever since we had one of those. Too bad it's back in New York." she said making a face because now she was hungry for one.

Graduation. Freedom. It sounded nice. She didn't hate Hogwarts, but the thought of only one year left was welcoming. She could possibly get a better job afterward, same with Ronan. Travel more, enjoy life.

"I'll hold you to that, Ronan," she said with a smile.

She listened to Owen talk about New York and the bratwursts. The boy talked a lot about New York and how he missed it.

"Tell you whatt, Owen," she said. "If I can help pull it off in any way, I'll get you and Evie over there, at least for a visit. Hell, I'd like to see the place myself."

She then smiled at Evie who sat beside her on one end. She had grown fond of the girl as a friend. Evie was really cool and had a bit of a rebellious streak. She was a good hang out pal.

"Never rode in a car before," she said. "Well unless you count a train car. Hmmm... maybe we should get one and drive it around Diagon Alley, freak people the hell out." Jade laughed about that. "Paris does sound fun though."
