Chapter One
"Are you packed yet sweetheart?" My mom came into my room.
"Yeah," I turned around.
"Ok well we are leaving soon," she smiled.
"Ok," I smiled.
My mom's name is Katy, I know it's spelt weird. My name's Summer, like the season, which kind of fit's me if you think about it, I'm short, only five foot three. I have blond hair and blue eyes, and from what I'm told I'm beautiful. I have a little sister named Holly, she's nine. And my dad, Robert, is in Iraq, he is suppose to be back by the end of summer.
I pulled my phone out and texted my boyfriend, Austin;
I'm bout to leave; I'll call you when I get there, ily!
I put my phone back into my purse and grabbed my bags and walked out into the living room.
"Ready honey?" my mom looked at me.
"Yeah, I guess," it was going to be one long car ride. We live in Washington D.C. my mom is a politician and is friends with the president.
"Well come on," she opened the door.
I sleep most of the car ride, until we got into Savannah. When I woke up it was almost night.
"What time is it?" I looked around.
"11, we will be there in about thirty minutes," my mom said.
"Ok," I looked in the back seat of the car to see Holly balled up into a corner with the Twilight blanket I gave her for her birthday pulled over her. "How long has she been asleep?" I asked.
"A few hours," my mom smiled.
"Oh, well, when we get there, I'm going to take her to the beach, she wants to see it so bad," I smiled.
"Ok, that's fine with me, I'll get everything out of the car," she said as we went over the big bridge.
I looked out the window until we got to the beach house. "Holly, sweetheart, wake up, Summer is going to take you to the beach." My mom shook her.
"Ok," Holly stretched out and got out of the car.
"You ready?" I asked Holly.
"Yes!" she started to run toward the beach.
"Hold on!" I ran after her, when I ran into someone. He feel backwards and I feel on top of him. "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" I said as I got off of him. It wasn't until he stood up that I saw him, dark brown, almost black, shaggy beach boy hair, and blue eyes, he had a tattoo on his arm. He was the total opposite of any of the other boys I've dated before.
"It's all good," he smiled a crooked smile, "I don't believe I've ever seen you here before. I'm Braden."
"Oh, I'm Summer, we are staying down here for the summer," I smiled.
"Summer!" Holly ran up to me, "I found a sea shell!" she showed me.
"Aww, that's beautiful, you should keep it!" I smiled.
"It was nice to meet you Summer," Braden smiled and started to run down the beach.
"You too, Braden," I smiled.
"Summer? Holly?" my mom called out.
"Right here mom," I turned around with Holly beside of me.
"Ok, well it's 12 and I think it's time to go to bed," my mom smiled.
"Ok, we'll be there in a minute," I looked toward where Braden was running to before I walked away.
