The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

@TwelveOf8 Oh come on, I'm not that good!

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

@TwelveOf8 aw gee. I'm not that great. And I'm not good at digital art.

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

"I don't think you're, what do you call it... square? I think you're wonderful! And you can stay here if you want. I understand if you don't wanna go anywhere boring like home. Er... Caramel Cove." Corrine couldn't help but but a bit disappointed. She wanted to show off her old home so badly, like Rolo had done to her but that was a dream for another day.

Something burned in her chest. Chet was saying something about weird things happening between the Salt Bay Turbos. Yet he never explained the situation. What was so troubling that everyone in Sea Salt Bay was on edge?

"Rolo? Please tell me what's going on. Everyone seems so upset lately and I wanna know what happened. Why is everyone being so mean to eachother? And who were the bikers who came to the party? Who are they? What's the deal with that other rich kid? What was his name? Carson?"

Corrine, overloaded with hr own questions, sits on the ground and grumbles. So much was going on. Anyone would be overloaded. Especially if you're thrown into the situation. Though she couldn't imagine how Rolo felt. He must have been exhausted with everything going on.

@TwelveOf8 yes true.... a graphic novel sounds pretty great. But I can't draw. Who would be willing to do this?

Corrine wiped the tears away from her face. Rolo was right. She couldn't dwell on the past. If she did, her life wouldn't move forward. She would never grow up. She had to focus on making a future for herself. Her frown turned into a smile, then a giggle.

"You know what? You're right, Rolo. You're really really right. Let's just keep moving forward." She said. She sighed with content and leaned into Rolo's chest.

"Maybe you could take me to caramel cove. It's like here but...more antique. There's lots of old people. They're all so nice though. They're sweet, like you!" Corrine gives him a quick peck on the cheek and smiles, blushing.

@TwelveOf8 what would you like it to evolve to? Did you want to move somewhere else?

I mean, I'm not sure what to make of this. I never thought this would last for so long. I'm not sure

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

I'm gonna start archiving everything now. So whatever is there, is gonna stay.

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

Corrine wiped her face with her handkerchief. Her eyes were still red and her nose was still runny. She didn't look like the cute, porcelain doll that she normally seems to be.

"Hm? What is it?" Corrine sniffled, still staring out at the beach town bellow.

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

"Whoa... you can see forever." Corrine leaned against the window, staring out at the blue, crystal waters. She could see a few families and their picnic baskets on the beach, playing and laughing while splashing in the water.

It all reminded her too much of home. She wiped her hair way from her face, only to feel that her cheek was wet with her tears. She hadn't realized that she was crying and rather audibly at that.

"Rolo?" she said. "I miss my old home. I miss Caramel Cove and I miss all my friends. I miss the old, broken down lighthouse I used to play in and I miss my old school. I miss my family, especially Mama. Everything is being taken away from me. Pretty soon, all my brothers are gonna move out and I'm gonna be left all alone with that jerk! I'll have to move away from everyone and I'll be all alone!"

She falls to her knees and buries her face in her hands.

"I'm such a big baby..."

The Battle of Sea Salt Bay

"Is Rolo your real name?" She blurted out quickly. She didn't want to sound rude, but her curiosity was too great.
