This is a new story I'm going to be working on and I will make the chapters longer but I thought I'd put this up to see if anyone really likes it... I think it's not as good as my other ones but I don't know... So if you like it please leave a review :)

New Beginnings

Ronnie sat on the front steps of her father's beach house she'd be spending the next six months in sadly, as she watched the waves swoosh around in the ocean. She was furious with her mother for making her stay but she knew it was no use arguing. The brunette thought that as long as she's there she might as well make the best of it...

Down by the ocean Ronnie could see a blonde haired girl standing in the rim of the water. Curious as to who she was, the girl wondered her way to the beach.

The blonde haired girl that she had been watching, turned to look at her with a mysterious glow in her eyes. In all the time she had spent at the beach, no one ever came up to talk to her. And if they had it was only because they thought her older brother had been a good looking guy.

"May I help you?" She asked in a hoarse tone, after having her voice gone for weeks. It was her least favorite thing to have to deal with since talking was something she could never stop doing, unless in front of people she hadn't seen before.

Ronnie shook her head, not really sure why she had even come down there in the first place. All she wanted to do was go back to her own home and hang out with her real friends. The last thing she had wanted to do was become friends some girl she didn't even know, especially since she'd only be there for six months.

The other girl gave a confused look, arching her eyebrows in the process. "Then why did you come done here?" She asked, beginning to think that the darker haired girl only wanted to talk so she could meet her brother. "Let me guess, you just want to talk because you've seen my brother and think he's some hottie, don't you? Not like that is anything new."

"I don't even know your brother or you. I am only here for the summer." The dark haired girl grunted, she hated having to be here with her father. She was furious with him for having left her and her mother all alone. Ronnie would never forgive him for the pain and suffering he'd caused the two of them.

As Ronnie was lost in her thoughts, the blonde girl looked away in shame for coming to a conclusion without even letting the other explain herself. She just always assumed the worst in people, thanks to the loss of her father who had once been her hero. "Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed that because that's usually why people want to talk to me. Anyways, where are you from?" The girl gave her a mysterious smile, running her hand in the sand surrounding her.

"I'm from New York, I miss it there already." She said, looking down. No place could ever be her home as New York could.

The other girl could sense that she didn't really like it here and felt bad. She didn't like seeing other people sad, so she decided to show her around a little bit. Maybe that would help the girl to feel more comfortable around here.

She looked toward her, her eyes glowing. "Ah, a city girl I see." The light haired girl smiled, playing with the sand. "Since you're new here, I'd be more than happy to show you around...if you'd like that is." Ronnie gave a small smile back to her; it sounded nice to have someone show her around. Especially since it wasn't her father.

Accepting the offer, the brunette nodded. "I'd enjoy that. By the way, what is your name?"

The mysterious girl smiled to herself as she looked down at the sand, she thought her name was way too girly being named after a flower and all. Of course her mother always told her, its for her own good, which to this day she doesn't understand.

"My name is Lillian, but my mother prefers me to be called Lilly. What's your name?" Lilly said, grunting at the sound of her own name. She always hated it, especially the nick-name her mother had given to her.

Ronnie grinned, she always loved the name Lilly, she thought it to be such a beautiful name. And it definitely fit the blonde haired girl, with beautiful blue eyes and her long shiny hair. Oh my gosh what the hell am I thinking? She shook the thought away and returned to reality. "That's a pretty name." The brunette said with a smile. "My name is Veronica, but everyone calls me Ronnie."

As Lilly showed her around town, she decided to take her to the carnival that was nearby so she could introduce her to some of her friends and her brother. She hadn't wanted to introduce Ronnie to her brother but she knew she'd have to sooner or later.

Approaching the carnival, the girl could see her brother playing volley ball with his friends as the crowd cheered. She hated how good-looking he was, it only made her lose friends to him. And that was something she hated. Sighing Lilly walked down to where he was and motioned for him to come over.

The boy walked over, wondering his sister would interrupt him while he's playing volley ball. "What do you want Lilly? Can't you seem I'm busy..." The blonde volley ball player said, annoyed written all over his face.

"I just thought I'd introduce you to a friend I made, her name is Ronnie and she's here for the summer." Lilly was nervous as to what the girl's reaction would be towards her brother. She hoped so badly that she wouldn't care for how cute he looked.

Her brother looked towards the girl standing aside from her and smiled to himself. She was indeed a very beautiful woman, and he was definitely going to make her love him, no matter what it took. "Why hello there, Ronnie. I'm William, Lilly's brother. But you can call me Will." Ronnie glanced at him and rolled her eyes. She hated men who tried to hit on her. Especially men as Will.

She gave him a noticeable glare, making sure he knew that she'd kill him if he continued to hit on her. "Hello." She spoke with a hint of annoyance in her tone.

Lilly was happy to know that her brother's looks hadn't an effect on her new friend. After the two met, the boy walked away to continued his game with his friends.

"Now that my big headed brother is gone, how about we got meet my friends?" The darker haired girl nodded with a smile, and the two were off to meet her friends.

A few blocks down from the carnival was a small little department store, where Lilly and her friends hung out. She could see the owner sweeping off the deck.

The owner was a friend of her mom's who she had grown to think of as family. He always allowed the girl and her friends to hang out there on weekends when he hadn't any customers. That had been one of the reason she enjoyed his presence at their house.

To the side of the store, stood a dark brunette haired girl with a brunette haired boy standing across from her. They both gave a welcoming wave to their friend as she made her way over with Ronnie following behind her. Lilly gave them a smile in return before introducing the two, to her new friend.

"Hey, guys...This is my new friend Ronnie. She's going to be staying here for a while and I thought I'd show her around." The light haired girl said with a bright smile. "Ronnie, these are my two very best friends Destiny and Mike."

Ronnie smiled as she shook their hands. These were definitely not the type of people she would be hanging out with if she had been back home but as long as she's there she might as well have some friends. Though she had to admit Lilly did seem as a pretty cool person to hang out with.

After the three had been introduced, they headed back up towards the carnival. Lilly and her friends always enjoyed going to it each summer; it had given them something fun to do during the day. Especially when they had nothing better going on.

As the sun set for the night, Lilly got into her pajamas so she could sit on the porch to enjoy the night sky. She had done this on a nightly basis, it was her way of appreciating nature.

Usually she'd sit outside with her friend but tonight she preferred to be alone. The blonde wanted to have time to think about the day that had just passed her and the new friend that she had made. Ronnie seemed to be a nice girl, though there was something off about her only she couldn't figure what. She was going to though, that she most certainly was.
