Let Me Go: Chapter One

Sitting outside of the back porch, I watched the waves hit the shore, smelling the morning breeze as I sipped coffee thinking to myself.

" Hey sis, you're up early," said my brother Max.

" Yeah, you got a problem with that."

" No, it's not like you to wake up early," He laughed.

" What's wrong, what are you thinking about?" He continued.

" Nothing, why?" I lied

" Well since the other day, you have been doing this a lot."

" Doing what"

" Sitting out here, looking out the ocean."

" Oh, I'm fine Max, you don't need to worry."

" Ok, whatever, but hey I'm your brother it's my duty to worry." He laughed.

I gave him the signal to go away. So he headed back inside the house. I look back out at the beach. He was right, he is my brother, he does have the right to worry about me.

Around ten o clock Amiee woke up and came out into the living room.

" Morning sweetie." I said looking up form my book.

" Morning Mom," she said going to the kitchen to get some breakfast.

She got a bowl of cereal and sat down next to me. " So sweetheart what do you want to do today." I asked.

" Can we go to Hot Topic, I saw some things there that I want to get." She asked.

" Sure why not."

" Cool." And Amiee got up and went to her room.

A little after 10:30, Amiee and I left Max who was working on his car for the one thousandth time to head to the Mall.

" Max, we're going shopping do you need anything," I said looking under his car.

" No, you two have fun."

" Oh we will, you be careful."

" Ok, later."

I stood up and got in my car. Amiee looked at me from Uncle Max.

" Why doesn't Uncle Max get a new car?" she asked.

" I don't know but if he doesn't soon I will."

We finally go to the mall and literally raced to Hot Topic. Once in there we first look at the pants. As Amiee and I were looking, Amiee had to say something that scared me to death.

" Woah check out the hottie."

" WHAT!" I yelled, and look over at the entrance to see what Amiee was looking at. Amiee was right he was hot. He looked to be 6'1. He was muscular, had purple/ red hair, a fancy looking beard and wearing black tank top and baggy blue jeans. I looked back over at Amiee and nudged her in the arm.

"Ouch, what?"

"Don't even think about it, he's to old."

"Ok, Ok whatever." She said walking over to the music station. And I went back look at some shirts.

Pretty soon after that, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see the same guy Amiee was checking out was in front of me. Oh boy did he have the most beautiful emerald eyes I have ever seen.

"Hi." He said with a southern accent.

"Hi," I said shyly back.

" That girl over there I was talking to said I should come over here and talk to you." He pointed to Amiee.

" She did, did she." I gave Amiee a harsh look. Amiee turn around instantly.

" Yeah she did, you know her?"

" Yeah she my daughter."

" Oh, well I'm Jeff."

" Elizabeth." We shook hand.

" Nice to meet you,"

"Like wise."

Soon after that, He had to go. We said our bye's and he left. I took a deep breath and walk over to Amiee.

" Don't ever do that again."

" What he's old enough for you, he's 28." She laughed.

"Ha ha, very funny that was embarrassing." I said heading over to the cash register to pay for our things.

We came home from our fun at the Mall. Max was in the living room watching TV.

" You girls have fun?" He asked.

"Oh yeah," said Amiee and started laughing.

"What so funny?"

" Ask your niece what she did to me." I told Max.

"Oh no Amiee what did you do?"

" Oh at Hot Topic we were look at pants and I saw this hot guy come in, so I told mom about it and she said to me to not even think about it he's too old. So I talked to him while she wasn't looking and told him to go talk to her."

Max looked at me.

" Did he?"

" Yeah, and I'm still embarrassed as of now."

Both Max and Amiee started laughing.

" OH! YOU TWO!" I yelled and stormed off to my room.
