Bobbi turned the key a few more times. He felt the van rumble for a split second and then nothing. He tried again, the same thing happening and groaned, laying his head against the steering wheel. Did this really have to be happening right now? It was hot, the AC wasn’t working and he was stuck out on the beach. He liked to camp out here every once in a while to get away and usually when he woke up his van would start up, but not today. Kicking the door open and slamming it shut, he walked to the front and pushed up the hood. He could already feel sweat running down his face. It was hot in Jacobsville, but he was sure this was the hottest day ever. 

Messing and tugging around, he was hoping it wasn’t the battery again. He was tired of calling up Anthony for a hook up, it was happening more and more often and it was more than annoying. He really needed to get some new parts, but it was hard to get his hands on some that are in good condition, so he stuck with some duct tape and what ever he could find.

After a while of poking around and checking everything, he decided it would take him a while before he’d be able to fix this. He was used to it by now, but it was hot and he could barely see the pier just down the beach. The walk would be long if he needed anything, but who doesn’t love a walk on the beach in this boiling hot weather? 

Finally he opened up the back and sat down, wiping his oil covered hands on his ripped, faded jeans and taking a water bottle out of the mini fridge, chugging half of it down. Stripping off his t-shirt he pulled out his phone and scrolled down his contacts, stopping on one certain name.

‘ey bran! im hanging over by the beach and was wondering if youd wanna come join? we could walk to the pier or sandy cove to get some carny food sound good? im kinda far off from the tourists at our usual secret spot to give us some privacy wink wink’ Bobbi paused, he didn’t want this to sound like a date or anything, because Brandon would be pissed to find out the truth and that would ruin everything he’d been working towards  ‘my van broke down and im stranded here and i was thinking some company would be nice while i try to fix this thing. please bring food.’ He added.
