Chapter 1

The breeze was light as the sun set over Beaufort the following Friday night. In this town, everyone was settling in to spend time with their families or eat their dinners. At the dock near the edge of town, Ty and Kris sat on the bench.

"So do you think she is actually coming?" Kris asked his friend as the sky grew darker.

Tyler laughed as he took a puff from his cigarette. "Oh she is coming. The real question is when."

Kris chuckled and shrugged. "You might not want her to catch you smoking…" he smacked Ty when the smoke was blown in his face. "But that is a good question. Liv always does have a knack for showing up at the weirdest times."

"Like right now?"

They turned and saw their friend coming towards them, a sly smirk on her face. "Hey Ty. Put that shit out, it'll rot your brain."

She hugged Kris and when Ty leaned in to give her a hug, she stole the cigarette. "You told me you stopped smoking."

He looked up at her. "Did you believe me?"

She shook her head. "Nope."

He mocked hurt. "I hate that you have no confidence in me."

She rolled her eyes. "No…I just know you, Ty." She chuckled and stole the hat he had and ran away.

The boys looked at each other and then took off after her. They had a habit of acting like children when they were together.

Since her dad didn't live too far from the dock, Liv had parked in front of his house and snuck to the dock. Laughing as she put the hat on, she ran towards the house.

"Thief!" Ty yelled as they chased her.

Her jean jacket blew around in the wind, and she laughed even harder as they got closer. Knowing that if she stopped then, they would end up tackling her, she glanced at them and ran up the steps. Opening the door, the boys caught up to her, and they all toppled to the floor. The boys landed on top of her, and as the parents came into the room, they were laughing.

"What the Hell are you two doing?" Dean asked as he came into the room. "Landon is going to kill you if you break anything."

"Sorry Dad." Ty asked and as he stood Dean turned to walk back into the kitchen, where the rest of his friends were.

After the boys helped her stand, the three friends realized that he hadn't noticed Liv. She winked and walked up behind him, and jumped onto his back. He turned, ready to yell, and then he smiled.

"Liv!" he hugged her and she laughed.

"Hey Uncle Dean." she smiled.

"I can't believe you're here." he laughed and walked to the door. "Landon! The boys left you a present in the living room!"

She smiled and as he walked into the room, his eyes became locked on her face. She smiled. "Hey Daddy."

Landon smiled and immediately pulled his daughter into a hug. She squeezed back until Ty and Kris coughed.

"This is so touching, Kris." Ty said in mock tears.

Kris nodded. "I know! So cute…"

They pulled and away and Liv winked at her dad. Pulling her shoe off, she chucked it at Ty and it smacked him in the face. Laughing, Landon rolled his eyes and walked back into the kitchen.

"Why'd you hit me? Kris was doing it too!" Ty complained.

"You were closer. Get over it." she said quickly.

"So what are you doing back here?" Her Aunt Erika asked as everyone sat in the living room later that night.

She chuckled. "I was threatened."

Landon sat up. "What?"

She stared at everyone. "They didn't tell you?"

Dean shook his head. "Who was the creep?"

She chuckled. "It was worse than a creep. It was these two idiots."

Everyone laughed and the boys rolled their eyes. "It was the only way you'd come, Liv."

"I wouldn't miss the boys' tour kick off, though. This is exciting." she smiled slightly.

"I just wish it could have been you up there with him. Really make it a family tour." Belinda sighed.

Liv bit her lip. "I don't want to hear it again. This is why I don't come back." she said and sat back in her seat.

There was an awkward silence, before Ty sat forward. "So Kris and I have something to say."

Everyone looked at them and Kris nodded. "We have a…surprise at our concert next week."

Liv smiled and shook her head. "You would."

They shrugged. "You know us too well."

Tracie looked at her. "You know what it is?"

She nodded. "Do you really think these two could pull off a surprise without help and not have it fall apart? They may be great musicians, but brain smarts? Not so much."

They both smacked her in the head with pillows, and she sat there for a moment. Suddenly she jumped up and tackled them onto the floor.

Dean, Eric, and Landon looked at each other. "They're children, still! Look at them!" They all chuckled as they watched their grown children mess around like kids on the ground.

I do not own A Walk To Remember. I only own Kris, Liv, and Ty. Enjoy!
