Hello People of Fanfiction! How are all of you lovely people doing today?
So, this is my first fanfiction that I've posted…ever. And I'm kind of freaking out a bit. It's a Home and Away one…which you probably already knew and that's why you clicked it…Anyway…very excited.
I figure (With some suggestion from a friend) that I should probably give you a little bit of a Backstory or whatever about the Characters here.
Alexis and Sam are Matt and Sasha's kids.
Amber and Ryan are Andy and Hannah's kids.
Casey is Brax and Rikki's Son. (Brax is currently still in Jail)
Chloe is Kyle and Phoebe's daughter.
Harley is Heath and Jess Lockwoods son
Taylor and Noah are Heath and Bianca's kids.
Hayden is Ash and Denny's son.
Natalie is Casey and Denny's daughter. (Before Casey died.)
Sarah and Seth (Twins) are Josh and Evie's kids
I hope that Clears everything up a little. :) I'll See you at the Bottom.
Chapter 1 –
Harley stood behind the counter at Angelo's. It had only been open for twenty minutes, but the place was already packed. He looked around the Restaurant, but Alexis was nowhere to be found…Again. He sighed, grabbing a rag to wipe down the counter. The first time his Uncle left him in charge of the place, and he already feels like he's going to fail.
Alexis ran into the Restaurant, tucking her shirt into her jeans as she walked over to the counter, Immediately noticing the frown on Harley's face…not a good sign.
"I'm sorry, I know I'm late," She apologized, pulling her hair into a ponytail as she walked back behind the counter, "I had to pick Landon up from school for V.J., then I had to drive back to the house to get the books from yesterday and Dad was there and he found my assessment and he had a go about my grades and did I mention I'm sorry?"
"Yeah, it's fine." Harley nodded, "Everything seems to be going pretty okay right now."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Go sweep around the stage. And if you see Taylor, tell her Dad was looking for her this morning, and he didn't look very happy."
Alexis nodded, grabbing the broom and walking over to the stage. She glanced over at Harley. He was looking over some of the books for the restaurant. To Alexis, he looked a lot like his dad. His hair was spiked the same way, His eyes were the same shape, and His mouth was too. He did that thing where he bit his lip whenever he was thinking really hard about something…just like his dad. Honestly, she had always had a crush on him. …Harley, not his dad. She couldn't help it. He was always so nice to her, and her brother. That's why she started working at Angelo's. What, you didn't think she did it because of the people, did you?
But she knew it would never work out between them. He was three years older than she was. Not like it actually mattered to her. It was her parents she was worried about. They would never be okay with her seeing someone that much older than her. But…maybe they didn't have to know.
"Day dreaming about Harley again?" Seth asked, pulling Alexis out of her thoughts.
She glanced over at him. He was leaning up against the wall on the other side of the stage with that stupid cocky grin of his. "Stuff it, Seth."
"So is that a yes?" He grinned, waiting for her to say something in response, but continued when she didn't say anything, "Have you seen my dad? He left the house before I got home from school earlier and I think Sarah went with him."
"Whoa, Sarah actually, willingly left the house for something other than school?"
"I know right?"
"How is she anyway? I haven't seen her in a couple weeks."
"Same as always." Seth shrugged, "She still won't talk to me. But at least she talks to Mum and Dad…Barely. She skipped school a couple times last week, but I don't think Mr. McGuire noticed, or if he did, he just didn't say anything."
"Sorry Mate, but I'm sure she'll come around eventually."
"Yeah, Hopefully."
Josh walked into the Diner with Sarah following closely behind him. They walked up to the counter where VJ and Jett were standing.
"Could you go to the Gym and ask Andy for the books?" Josh asked, placing his hand of Sarah's shoulder.
Sarah nodded a little, walking down to the Gym.
She hated being out of the house, She hated being around people…well, she hated a lot of stuff, but no one understood why. She was just so shy it literally made her sick just being around too many people, other than her family. She had been like that since she turned sixteen years old. Her parents thought she was just in a phase, but that wasn't it, and they were always too busy to realize she still hadn't gotten over it. Her cousin Levi was the only one who she could talk to about it. He at least let her feel normal when she talked to him. If it were Seth, He'd either freak or make her feel really stupid about it.
"Hey Sarah." Casey smiled when he saw her walk into the Gym.
She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She made a mental note of never leaving the house with her parents again. This happens every time. She ends up running into people and they try to talk to her. Maybe if she didn't say anything to him he would just leave her alone and she could leave. Where was Andy? Wasn't he supposed to be working?
"Did you need something?" He asked, looking around the gym. There were only a couple people in there working out. She nodded. "Oh, you needed the books, right? Andy's got them, and he left a couple minutes ago. Something about getting a new security system since someone broke into here last week." He explained, sifting through the papers on the counter, "You could wait around for him if you want? Or if you have something else to do, I could text you when he gets back."
Sarah nodded, quickly walking out of the Gym, and running straight into her Dad.
"Are you okay?" He chuckled.
"Yeah." She nodded, fixing her shirt, "Andy's gone though, so the books aren't there." She added quietly.
"Alright, I have to head into the city for a couple hours. Do you want to come along?"
"Hey Sarah!" Levi called from the dock.
Josh looked back at Levi, waving a little, "Or you can stay here with him."
"I think I'll just hang out with Levi until Mum gets back."
"Okay, I'll see you when I get back, then." He smiled, kissing the top of her head before walking off.
Taylor was Jogging down the beach when she spotted Sam coming out of the water. She slowed down as she caught up with him.
"Hey Sammy." She smiled, standing next to him.
Sam grinned, dropping his surf-board on the sand, "Hey Taylor."
"I didn't see you at school this morning, what happened?"
"Oh, I had other stuff to take care of." He shrugged, grabbing his shirt off the towel he had left with his backpack, pulling it over his head.
"You mean you ditched again?"
"Depends, are you going to tell my parents?"
"Why would you think I'm just going to run off and tell your parents you skipped school?"
"Oh my god, you skipped school too didn't you?" Sam laughed.
"Okay, Technically I didn't skip; I just left before school was over." She smiled a little, looking around the beach before returning her gaze back to him.
"Ditching is even worse, Taylor."
"Oh please. I won't tell if you won't."
"Deal." He grinned, putting his hand out to shake hers.
"Have you seen Casey? He said he was going to give me the assignment from Mr. McGuire's class this morning."
"Last time I saw him he was heading home."
"Oh, okay." She nodded, starting to walk off again.
"Actually, Taylor...I was wondering if you might want to go get a coffee or something later?"
"Uh, you mean me and you?"
"Yeah, if you want to, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to, I was just hoping maybe—"
"Yeah, sure Sam." She said hesitantly.
"Cool, so I'll meet you at the diner…around 5?"
"Sure thing." She nodded, jogging off.
"Are you okay?" Levi asked, leaning up against the side of the boat.
"I guess." Sarah shrugged, sitting against the opposite side of the boat, "Are you?"
"I'm good." He nodded a little, looking out at the water, "Have you talked to your parents yet?"
"Levi, how many times are you going to ask me that?"
"Until you say you have." He replied, earning an eye roll from her, "Honestly Sarah, this is serious, and you should really talk to them about it."
"I can't, Levi. Do you have any idea how they would react?" She shook her head, closing her eyes tightly, willing the thought to go away, "They don't even realize anything's wrong anyway."
"They can help, you just have to let them."
"You promised you weren't going to say anything."
"I'm not going to. But you need to." He nodded, "You're acting different, Sarah. You barely talk to anyone, you don't like leaving the house…even to go to school, and you won't even spend time with your own brother. That's not normal, and eventually they're going to realize something up, and if they find out I know, they won't be very happy about it, and neither will Mum and Dad."
"I'll talk to them; just not right now…they have way too much stuff going on right now."
"Maybe you could try telling Aunt Denny first or something. Or you could talk to Dad, I'm sure one of them could help."
"Maybe Aunt Denny, but Uncle Oscar probably wouldn't be much help."
"Promise me you'll talk to them…to someone?"
"Fine, but will you just drop it for now?"
"Of course."
"If you like him, why don't you just tell him?" Seth asked, walking around the tables.
"Because, it's weird." Alexis shrugged, wiping off a table someone had just left.
"How is it weird? He's a guy, you're a girl. It's perfectly natural."
"Not for my parents it wouldn't be." She scoffed, "Mum would lose it, Dad would freak and Sam would probably threaten Harley's life."
"Then don't tell them."
"They'd find out. They always do."
"Not if you were careful. And if you maybe had someone to cover for you."
"Yeah, right."
"You know, someone like…" He pointed around before pointing at himself, "Oh, this guy."
"Would you really do that?" She asked, slightly skeptically.
"Of course, what are best friends for?"
"Thanks Sethy." She grinned; turning back to the table when she see's Taylor walking over.
"Hey Seth." Taylor smiled
"Tater." He nodded, sitting on one of the tables, "How's it going?"
"Good, have you seen Natalie? I thought she was supposed to be working today, but she wasn't at the Gym." She shrugged.
"Last time I saw her, she was heading towards the church."
Taylor nodded a little, walking out of the restaurant.
This time of the year was always hard for Natalie. Her dad was killed before she was born, so she never got a chance to meet him. She'd always wanted to meet him though. Her Mum used to tell her stories about him, but she felt like that was making her sad, and she stopped asking questions.
Natalie ended up getting very depressed about it and didn't know who to talk to about it, until her and Casey started hanging out. She couldn't help but feel angry at him when they first met. He had her dads name…he knew more about HER dad than she did. They became close over time and she found out he didn't know his dad either. They confided in each other, and told each other everything.
Taylor walked up to the entrance of the Church, looking around. She walked out back when she didn't see Natalie anywhere. She spent a lot of time there around this time of the year, and Taylor usually knew where to find her.
"Hey Nat." She smiled a little, walking over to a small patch of grass where her friend was sitting and sitting down next to her.
"Hey." Natalie said quietly, looking at the small pile of flowers sitting in front of the Grave stone.
Taylor looked at the headstone. 'Casey Braxton'. That must have been where her cousin got his name, "Are you okay?"
"I feel so stupid, Taylor." She shook her head, covering her eyes.
"Why?"
"I miss him so much…but I never got the chance to meet him."
"He's your dad, Nat…of course you would miss him."
"It sucks that he's not here…Ash Is okay, He's cool, but he's not my dad." She sighed, looking back down at the flowers.
"Have you tried talking to your Mum about it?"
"I don't want to upset her anymore." She shook her head, "I tried talking to Casey, but he just didn't really know what to say. He said I should go ahead and tell Mum."
"Maybe you should." Taylor nodded, putting her hand on her friends shoulder.
Alexis sat at the bar. It was nearly closing time, and she was ready to go home.
"Hey Ali?" Harley called from the other side of the bar.
"Yeah?"
"I've been thinking, and I was wondering if you might want to go get a smoothie from the Diner?"
"Yeah, I'd love to." She smiled, mentally doing back flips out of sheer excitement, "I'll just text my parents and let them know I might be a little late."
"Cool, I'll meet you downstairs?"
"Sure."

During the week, I'll have Sarah's Blog posts, Text Messages between the characters, Bios, Relationship details and all sorts of fun stuff.
