Chapter 1:
The sun shone bright on the strawberry fields. Katie was lying down next to it. Watching the butterflies fly around the plants.
Seeing people walk by further away. She had worked hard with her brothers and sisters this year to make sure that the field would stay healthy.
They've had a problem at the beginning of the year, when the strawberries wouldn't start growing. But luckily that was all taken care of now.
They hadn't had this many plants in years.
Suddenly strong arms held her from behind and a voice whispered in her ear. "Looks beautiful." Travis… Katie smiled to herself.
"Yes, it does. Not long and we can start picking the strawberries.""I actually wasn't talking about the field, but that looks good too."
Travis said. Katie turned her face to him. He had that cocky smile on his face. And his eyes didn't leave hers for one moment.
He leaned forward and kissed her. Just a simple and loving kiss.
We sat there for a while. Talking about the colleges we were going to and how we would go to camp in the vacations we would have.
"How is Conner doing with you going away and him staying here?" Katie asked. Travis looked down. "I don't really know.
Whenever I wanna talk about it he changes the subject. Or shrugs it off and says that he will finally have the full leadership of the Cabin like he deserves.
But in all those years we have never really been separated… I think it will be strange."
Katie took his hand in hers and Travis smiled at her. "Sorry, her we were having a nice afternoon and I keep complaining about my brother."
He laughed. "You're not complaining, you're worried. That's different. And it shows your cute side." Travis leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"You are amazing, you know that? Annoying sometimes, but amazing." She stuck out her tongue at him and he stuck out his.
"I'm annoying as in I don't let you prank everyone everyday?" She smiled. "Exactly! I'm glad you understand." "Maybe you should…" Katie said.
"Should what?" Travis asked. "Prank people with Conner. You know, because you will be apart from each other for some time.
It could maybe help him. Maybe get more people with you to help."
"Like I said, amazing!" Travis said. He gave her a quick kiss on her mouth. "See you at dinner?" He asked as he stood up.
"Yes." Katie responded. Travis waved as he walked away. I really hope this will work Katie thought.
