19 year old Emma Nelson was walking away from a lunch box size house on a small road in Wasaga Beach. Stuck between the screen door and the actual door was a plain white envelope that had the name Sean on it. Emma wiped away a tear from her eye as she got into her black camry parked in the same beach parking lot that Emma dn Sean had parked in during their first date and drove away back to Toronto.
On the way home Emma thought back to the year of her 16th summer
16 year old Emma Nelson climbed out of her family's black suburban and watched her two brothers, Craig who was 18 and Peter who was Emma's twin, unload all of their family's luggage.
"Em, could you help Angie out of her carseat?" Emma's mom, Spike, asked while hold Jack, Emma's 2 year old little brother. Emma walked over to the other side of the car and unbuckled her other sibling, 5 year old Angie.
"C'mon Ang." Emma taking her little sisters hand as they walked into their family's beach house in Wasaga Beach.
The next day
"Emmmmmmaaa" Angie yelled as she stormed into her older sisters room. "Pleasssssseeeee can we go to the beach now" She said as she jumped on the bed and started jumping around trying to wake Emma up
"Five more minutes" Emma said as she pulled the covers over her head.
"You said that five times ago" Angie said still jumping up and down.
"Angie what are you doing" Craig said as he stood in the doorway laughing
"Trying to wake Emmy up to go to the beach" She said smiling and looking innocent
"Well i would take you but Manny's coming into town today-" Craig said but he was suddenly stopped when Emma's head popped up from under the covers
"Manny's coming today. She told me she wasn't coming till next week" Emma said talking about one of her best friend that she only saw a few times a year since she lived in Vancouver and only came to Wasaga to visit her dad during the summer.
"Yeah she called me last night to tell me that she changed her flight since her and her mom got into a fight"
"When does her plane get in?" Emma asked
"Um... in about an hour. I'm picking her up since her dad has to work." Craig said smiling. Craig and Manny would get together during the summer while "taking time off" any other time
"So how about you and Pete take Ang to the beach since Mom has Jack out shopping"
"Did I hear my name?" Peter asked sticking his blonde head into the door way to see what was going on
"Yeah your going to go with Emma and Angie to the beach while i go pick up Manny and then meet yall there" Craig said
"Whatever but Darcy is coming to since she's came up last night with her family" Peter said refering to his girlfriend back from Toronto that also spent summers in Wasaga
"Okay Angie go get ready for the beach while I get ready" Emma said heading towards the bathroom.
30 minutes later Emma, Peter, and Angie were walking down the steps of their deck that went straight to the beach.
Emma sat up a place to sit while Peter went to call Darcy to see when she was going to get there.
"Okay Em, Darce will be here in like 15 minutes" Peter said sitting down next to Emma on a towel
"Good" Emma said smiling at a tan guy with dirty blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and a six pack. He was carrying a surfboard and had come from what looked like the trailer park from down the beach.
The boy just kept on smiling at Emma till she finally looked away.
"Emmmmmmmaaaaaaa!" Emma turned around to see Manny running towards her.
"Manny! Oh my god i've missed you so much" Emma said hugging her best friend.
"Ohhh! look at the hottie checking you out!" Manny said looking at the blonde guy.
"Hey Em, wheres Angie" Peter asked with a panicked look on his face
