Molly's POV
Present
Where does my story begin? Maybe my birth or when my parents got a divorce? There are so many starting points to choose from. But I guess that it really started when something changed me into who I am. That started when he came into my life, it happened so fast, and then flamed out. It was all her fault too. But I guess his as well considering he fell for it. My life has been quite hard the last couple of months since we broke up. Actually more like hell since we broke up a year ago.
I fell into a depression after he broke up with me, my parents got divorced. Then when it all started to get better and I was actually starting to feel like myself again she decided I haven't done enough to her already lets make her life miserable. So this my story and it begins with him.
June 11, 2007
I was at my family barbecue today. The first one of the summer. I was sitting at the patio table laughing with the rest of my family. My little brother and sister were playing chicken in the pool with my older brother and sister. I busted out laughing as I watched Ella plunge into the water after Braison, my thirteen-year-old brother, successfully managed to push her in. I looked back over to my parents, my dad was grilling the burgers and hot dogs and my mom was setting out plates and stuff. I got up from my chair to help her. I grabbed the utensils and started to set them down next to all the plates. I looked confused as I looked at five extra setting we didn't need. "Mom why are there five extra places set?" "Oh the new neighbors that just moved form New Jersey are coming". I nodded continuing my task .
About ten minutes later I heard the doorbell ring, my mom went into the house to answer it. A couple of minutes later she returned with a family of four boys and the mom and dad. "Molly this is the Grey family" I smiled politely "Hi". Kids dinner is ready my mom called out why my dad introduced himself. My brothers and sisters came to the table and introduced themselves as well. We all sat down and settled into a casual conversation. I mostly started to talk to their son Nate. We had a lot in common and he was really hot. He had brown hair and warm brown Carmel eyes.
His older brother's names are Shane and Jason and his little brothers is Mattie. I felt so comfortable around him already and I haven't known him for more than an hour. How is that possible? It's like I have known him my entire life. But whatever we spent the rest of the night just talking and hanging out. He is becoming like my new best friend, I feel like I can tell him anything. Usually it takes me weeks to get to this point with someone I just met, but he is special. He is not an ordinary person, I think I am getting a crush on him too. "Nate time to go" Mrs. Gray said from the doorway. He looked back at his mom and nodded then to me. We both stood up and he pulled me into a hug, this is the first time we have contacted each other physically all night. Let me tell you it felt really good to be in his arms. I felt the sparks right away starting in my hands and traveling to the rest of my body. I also felt safe and loved something that I had never felt from somebody before. He pulled away too quickly for my liking. "Can I have your number, so I can call you to hang out?" he asked rubbing the back of his neck. I smiled at him and took out my phone as he did the same. We traded and added each other's numbers. "It was great meeting you Nate, I'll call you later" I said smiling at him. "You better" he winked then walked out following his family out the front door.
After the barbeque I went upstairs and took a quick shower and then pulled on some boy shorts, one of my brothers t-shirts, and my fuzzy blue slippers from Wal-Mart. I liked to be comfy. I got into bed and turned on my light picking up my guitar. I started strumming some chords, getting ready to write a song. I loved to do that, it helps me express myself. Music is one of my many passions in life besides singing, dance, and cheer. After getting one chorus and a bridge down worth of lyrics, my blackberry started to ring. I picked it up off of my nightstand beside me. I looked at the caller I.D. and noticed that it was Nate calling me. I smiled to myself and quickly answered before it got to voicemail. "Hello" I spoke with a huge grin across my face. "I though you were going to call me?" he said playfully. "I did say that didn't I, oh well I must have forgot" he laughed. "That is very rude. Normally when someone promises to do something they keep it". "Well how do you know I keep my promises?" I said playfully into the receiver. "I can just tell. Also it is me, who wouldn't want to call the most awesome guy in the universe". I laughed, "Wow conceited much?" "Hey hey no need to hurt my feelings now. I was only stating the truth," I laughed at him again. It seems that I have been doing that a lot more than usual tonight.
For the rest of the night that is how the conversation went, we didn't hang up until around four in the morning. I went to sleep that night with the phone placed firmly in my hand next to my face on the pillow. I could already tell that this was going to be a great friendship if not more. Let's just say that I fell asleep dreaming about a brown eyed gorgeous boy that lives across the road that night.
I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed; I looked over at the clock it read 9:37. Hmm usually I didn't wake up until at least midday during the summer, especially when I went to bed at four in the morning. I smiled thinking about last night I feel like I had gotten to know him so much better, like I have known him my entire life, instead of just eighteen hours. I grabbed the phone out of my hand, and opened up a new text message.
Hey what up? - Molly

Yeah and no one is worse than Shane :D haha- Molly

I didn't feel the need to text him back. Instead I jumped out of my bed and flew into my bathroom to hurry and get ready. I took the quickest shower on record and curled my hair slightly. I looked over at the clock I had about ten minutes. I threw on an outfit and put some light make up on. I finished and heard to the doorbell ring. Perfect timing. I ran down the winding steps and got to the door. I didn't want to seem to eager, so I counted to five before I opened the door. "Hey" I smiled. He smiled back, and let me tell you it was the most gorgeous smile I had ever seen. It lit up his entire face, and was warm and comforting. I stepped aside by the door so he could come inside the house. "So what do you want to do?" I questioned him as I closed the huge iron and wood door. "Umm…Oh I know let's go play guitar hero" I nodded my head and grabbed his hand leading him toward the basements steps. Reaching the bottom of the stairs we entered the game room. We walked over to the T.V. and I bent down to set up the game, when I realized I was still holding his hand. I quickly dropped hit and blushed a little bit. I handed him a guitar and strapped my white one around my shoulders. I turned to him.
"You ready to get your butt kicked Gray" I smirked. I was the best in my family at guitar hero we liked to have family competitions every once in a while. "You're on Hansen" he replied smirking just like I had. About an hour later we were in an intense battle on My Name Is Jonas. So far we were tied and decided this game would declare the winner between the two of us. The scores were constantly going in between us. I would be ahead then he would. All of a sudden I was granted with the one bolt of bright white lightening that I needed. It was the last fifty notes of the song, and this would seal the deal for me. I smiled widely and laughed igniting my star power. "NOOOO" Nate screamed as I hit every last note, giving me a higher score I needed to defeat him. The song ended quickly and I was declared winner. "Ha in your face Gray, I told you I was the master of guitar hero" I gloated doing a little dance around the couch. "Ya ya fine you win" he admitted defeat and setting his guitar down on the ground.
I was still celebrating my victory when he came over and grabbed me around the waist. I froze in place, and looked down at where his hands were. "What are you doing?" I asked confused. He just smirked and I saw a twinkle of mischief in his warm honey laced eyes. I started to shake my head "No you wouldn't". He smirked down at me "oh yes I would" he dug his fingers into my side. I squealed in laughter as he tickled me. I fell to the ground laughing while he continued his torture upon my soul. "Stop" I begged through my cries of laughter. "No" he responded digging into my sides again earning another round of hard laughter. "Stop please" I begged tears begining to pour out of my eyes from laughing so hard. "I will if you say that I Nate Gray am Champion at all things in guitar hero". I shook my head refusing to give him that power it was mine and I was not going to just give it away when he clearly lost the final battle round. "No" I protested. "Then fine have it your way" he dug into my sides once again.
I thought of a quick idea to end my torture, why hadn't I used it before, I had no idea. But it was pure genius. "Nate stop I can't breathe" I shouted and he automatically stopped. I took this as my advantage and quickly pushed him over in the process of me scrambling to my feet. I ran towards the stairs giggling as I heard him shout "Not so fast". I quickly looked over my shoulder as I booked it up the basement steps. He was right on my heels; I made it to the main level and around the corner heading towards the patio doors.
I got onto the grass next to the pool, when he caught me around my waist. "Got you," he said twirling me around in a circle. I giggled closing my eyes at the feeling I was getting. He dropped me on the ground but still had his big strong arms wrapped around my tiny frame. I turned around in his hold and looked up into his eyes smiling. He was smiling back at me, "I have never felt this way before" he admitted softly. I blushed and looked down "Neither have I". He pulled my chin up with his fingers, "Molly would you like to go on a date with me tonight?" I nodded biting my lip "I would absolutely love that". "Ill pick you up around seven?" I nodded my head in approval.
He picked me up behind my knees and into his arms holding me bridal style. "In the meantime" he smirked walking towards my pool. I shook my head furiously trying to wiggle my way out of his iron tight grip. "Nate No" I screamed. He just laughed and dropped me into the pool, making a splash and soaking me in the process. I surfaced and looked at him "I cannot believe that you just did that". "Oh I think I did" he replied chuckling. I swam to the edge of the pool where he was standing on the dry cement and stared up at his laughing form. "Will you help me out?" I asked giving him a puppy dog pout. "Fine" he whined and held out his hand. I grabbed onto and smirked, I yanked my hand back, sending him flying face first into the freezing cold chlorine water. He swam over to me "I cannot believe you just did that" he said gasping as he came closer to me. "Oh I think I just did," I said mocking him. After I said that we both just busted up laughing. It was so easy to be around him all the time. In the last day he has certainly become one of my best friends.
He left right after we got out of the pool, and I went upstairs to take a shower once again for the second time this day. I threw my clothes into the laundry basket in my bathroom and stepped in the steaming hot shower. I took my Paul Mitchell shampoo and poured about a quarter-sized amount into my hand. I lathered it through my long thick brunette hair that reached down to my mid back, and gently massaged my scalp. Let's just say that my hair was so thick I probably wouldn't go bald soon or at anytime in my life, so that's good. I washed it out of my hair and then proceeded to do the same process with my conditioner. After rinsing my conditioner out I quickly shaved and washed my body off. I got out of the shower and dried my body off. I through the towel into the white plastic hamper that held the rest of my dirty clothes that needed to be washed.
I pulled on my juicy sweat tracksuit from, and a white tank top underneath the matching jacket to the pants. I ran a brush through my soft long locks, untangling its disaster of webs. I parted my long hair to the side and decided to let it dry naturally in curls I could always fix it later. Right now I really didn't care all I wanted to do was go crawl into my warm comfy bed with my baby, my MacBook pro, and surf the net. I walked back into my room and looked at the clock first it was only like two o'clock. I didn't need to start getting ready until at least five thirty. I crawled onto my bed and laid against my pillows with my laptop securely in the tight clutches of my hands. I was so protective of it. It was like my own child, since I was to young to have a child of my own of course, I mean come on I am only fifteen years old. It was the closest thing to having my own child. I would always protect it with my life. I opened the lid and watched it turn on silently and pull up a box for me to enter my password. I quickly did so and opened up safari. I decided to do a little online shopping to lazy to even go to the mall. I bought a couple of things and looked at the time, it had only been a half an hour.
I decided to take a quick nap so I would be refreshed for my first date tonight. I was so excited; he was everything that I wanted in a guy. Sweet, caring, serious, playful, and funny. He just knew exactly what I always wanted and had quickly become one of my closest friends. Which is weird considering I usually don't let someone into my life that fast. I usually don't trust people easily, and have my guard up. But with just one look from those eyes, all my walls just went crumbling down. No guy had ever been able to get past them like he was able to and It amazed me. I put them up so I would never have to feel heart broken. But I guess that he was just an exception to my heart, my only exception. He was special, and I had a feeling that my major crush on him was not just going to be a crush much longer.
I woke up to someone shaking my body and calling out my name. I opened my eyes to see my blonde haired best friend sitting next to me on the bed. "Molly wake up" I rolled my eyes at her and smiled. "I am awake dufous" she grinned. "Tell me all about him" she said getting into her story time position as I liked to call it. I laughed at how excited she was. But that was just normal Lilly for you she was one strange child. She has been my best friend since the first day way met in Ms. Robinson's class. All the way back in Kindergarten. It was the first day and it was coloring time. I had the sixty-four pack while she had the twelve. I offered to share and bam we were inseparable, and the rest is pretty much history. She was the sister, I always wanted, that was my age at least. She was always there for me when I needed her. Like when my grandpa died I was so close to him and I just cried for days refusing to come out of my room. After the first day of being hauled up in my room, she barged in and just curled up next to me wrapping her arms around my shoulders, crying with me. She stayed with me for a week straight, always by my side. She was more to me than I could ever ask for.
"Well he came over last night with his family for our barbeque, that you by the way should have been at. My parents invited them, they just moved across the street from New Jersey. We hit it off right away, and talked all night long. I felt so comfortable around him like I had known him my whole life. You know how hard it is to let someone in, so I know that he is my exception. He made me laugh all night long, and then he had to leave. We hugged and exchanged numbers; we talked all night long until about four in the morning. He came over and played guitar hero, I kicked his butt, he chased me outside, asked me out, through me into the pool, I showered, got dressed, online shopped a little, took a nap, and here we are. That is pretty much all that has happened in the last twenty four hours." I took a deep breath. That is hard to get out all at once. "OMG" she squealed and I laughed at her once again.
She dragged me into my walk in closet and pushed a bunch of clothes into my arms. She turned me around and guided me into the bathroom. "Now try all of those on and don't you think you can get away without me seeing them on you first missy" she demanded closing the door. I laughed at her and quickly tried on all the outfits. We decided on a white cream lace strapless dress. It went to my knees and hugged my curves in all the right places. We paired them with light baby blue stilettos that I had just gotten three days ago. I was glad that I was actually going to wear them, since I didn't think I was going to at all. I added some bracelets, and some silver bangles, rings. Lily plugged in my curling iron and waited for it to heat up. After about five minutes she touched the barrel checking to see how hot it was. Deciding that it was hot enough she pushed me down in front of the mirror in the bathroom in a chair. She grabbed a hold of the ceramic hot tool and wrapped my hair around the outside. She held it for about a minute, and let the soft beachy waves flow down my back.
She did the same for the rest of my hair and when I was done it looked gorgeous. She pulled the sides up with a couple of bobby pins. Securing the hair in place. Next she applied a light layer of foundation, mascara, and coral colored lip-gloss. "There all done I have created a little hottie. Nate wont be able to keep his eyes off of you" she smirked. I laughed pulling her into a hug and thanking her. She handed me a blue matching clutch to put some money, my keys, phone, and lip-gloss into. "Alright I'm leaving," she said right as the bell rang. "Oh looks like he is here," I said excitedly as I sprinted into the hall. I watched from the top of the stairs as my mom answered the door. "Hi Nate" she smiled warmly. "Hi, Mrs. Hansen I'm here to get Molly for our date" she smiled and stepped aside to let him come in. I smiled at what he was wearing black pants and a blue polo to match. He looked handsome. I smiled as I walked down the stairs to meet him.
"Hey Molly you look beautiful" he commented grabbing a hold of my soft little hand into his larger one and pulling me into him for a hug. I smiled and pulled away "You don't look to bad yourself" he pulled me down my walkway and towards his parked car on the side of the street. He opened the door for me and I slid into the seat "What a gentlemen" I commented kissing his cheek to show my appreciation. He closed my door and went a round and slid into his own seat. He pulled away from the curb and we set off down the street. I was wondering where we were going to go so I voiced my thoughts "Where are we going?" He chuckled "It's a surprise". I groaned, "I hate surprises". He just laughed at me. After about ten minutes in the car we were still driving. "Are we gonna be there soon "I asked impatiently. He glanced over at me; sending one of his gorgeous smiles my way "Patience Molly."
I looked up to see where we were and gasped. We were at the beach that was deserted, and at sunset. It was perfect; we got out strolled down to the beach from the parking lot. I pulled of my heals so I could walk through the sand and held them with one had. I felt Nate grab my free hand and lace our fingers together. I smiled down and blushed, our fingers fit perfectly together. We came to a sudden stop and I looked up. I was surprised at what I saw. Not only had we gone to the beach at sunset for our first date. But under a palm tree sat a blanket, candles, and food. I turned to look at Nate "You did all of this?" "Yes do you like it?" he asked curiously. I shook my head and watched his face fall a little bit. I grinned hugely "No I love it". His eyes automatically lit back up.
He pulled me over to the blanket that he had set out and we sat down. I watched in silence as he took out sandwiches and handed one too me. "Sorry this is the best cooking I can do". I laughed at him "It's okay it's the best I can do to and I love sandwiches." He smiled back at me; we made causal conversation during dinner. After we ate he put all of the stuff back into the basket, and pulled me up. We started to walk across the sand. "Okay twenty questions" I suggested wanting to get to know him better. "Ill go first um favorite color?" I asked. "Blue yours?" "Lime green, favorite place to go?" "New Jersey, favorite food?" "Chicken Alfredo. Favorite ride?" "Roller coasters, Favorite Drink?" "Coke, Favorite person to be with?" We stopped walking and he turned to me. He cupped my face in his hands and leaned forward, placing a delicate kiss on my lips. He pulled away from me a little "You" he whispered. I smiled and leaned back in to kiss him again. Let's just say that it was the best date of my life.
