I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES HTE OC'S.
Caylee's Point of View-
We lugged out the cooler, and the bags that contained all the food from the trunks of the cars.
"Does everyone have a bag, or something to carry?" I asked, there was nothing left in my trunk so I slammed it shut.
"Yeah, everything is out of our trunk." Chavo said slamming the trunk to their car and Shane followed.
"We got everything right?" Jeff asked.
"Of course we do, if we didn't have everything, we wouldn't of had shut our trunks." Matt said as we crossed the street to the park.
"Whatever." Jeff said as we climbed onto the curb into the grass.
"Where do they shoot the fireworks?" MJ asked.
"They shoot up over there, so we would want to face that way." I said pointing to the right.
"They have jungle gym, we should get close to that!" Shane said excitedly.
"And there is a grill near by so we can bar-be-que." Chavo said as we walked to the table, and the grill that was the closest to the jungle gym that Shane was so excited to go play on.
"Is Greg coming?" Jeff asked as he sat down and pulled me onto his lap.
"He's supposed to, I love you." I said as I rested my head against his, ever since I read that letter from Greg, I feel like that I don't share how much I truly love Jeff as much as I am supposed too and I feel dirty thinking another man loves me.
"Who's up for some Frisbee?" Matt asked.
"I'm in!" Maria said as her, Shannon, and MJ took off running to play Frisbee with Matt. I stood up and started to help Chavo unpack some things, I unfolded some chairs, and I unfolded the blankets laying them out on the grass.
"Can I at least go play or do something?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, but at least rest your ankle a little until you start going off and playing." I said.
"Hey guys, why are you all the way back here?" Greg asked walking up to us.
"I wanted to go play on the jungle gym." Shane said as him and Velvet took off climbing onto the jungle gym doing the monkey bars and such.
"I'm going to start the grill to get it warmed up for when we decide to grill the food." Chavo said.
"You do that uncle Chavo." I said hugging him and kissing his cheek. "I'm going to go talk to Greg for a minute, you behave." I said as I bent over and kissed Jeff lightly on the lips.
"What do you need to talk to me about?" Greg asked as I grabbed his arm and started pulling him when I got hit in the head by the Frisbee.
"Hey, watch where your throwing it!" I yelled as I threw it back, and Matt was able to catch it. Greg and I walked to a shady tree a little far away so others couldn't hear us.
"What do you need to talk to me about?" Greg asked as he leant against the tree.
"I read the letter you wrote me, I kind of wrote you back." I said as I pulled out the folded heart and handed it to him.
"I thought I told you to read that when your alone?"
"I did, I was the only one up and I read it, and I wrote you back." I said as he took it from my hand, and I hugged him tightly and I went back to where Jeff and Chavo were sitting, Greg stood there reading my letter. Jeff was now sitting in a lawn chair, I sat down on his lap, Chavo was watching the grill making sure the flames didn't get high, Velvet Sky and Shane came back because they got board playing on the jungle gym by themselves. A few hours past, now everyone was gathered around sitting in the lawn chairs and on the benches on both sides of the table talking about random things.
"Anybody getting hungry?" Matt asked.
"Are you?" Maria asked.
"Yeah, who wants to do the grilling?" Matt asked.
"I'll do it." Greg volunteered to do the grilling.
"I'll help him if you guys want to go play on the jungle gym?" Greg asked as everyone got up and ran to the jungle gym, MJ and I got onto the swing, Jeff and Shannon were pushing us, Matt was chasing Maria around the jungle gym, Shane and Velvet Sky were on the tire swing.
"This is fun, I haven't been on a swing in years." MJ said.
"I bet I can jump further than you." I said.
"Can not." MJ said as Jeff and Shannon stopped pushing us, we were leg pumping and we were trying to get high up onto the swing.
"What are they doing?" Maria asked as Matt and her stopped to watch us swinging.
"They are trying to find out who can jump further off the swing." Jeff said.
"I'll go get some sticks for markers." Matt said as he ran off to find some sticks, he came back with eight sticks.
"Jeff isn't jumping." I said.
"I so am." Jeff said.
"You jump first, I'm scared." MJ said, Shane and Velvet joined us, I went to jump and Shane snapped a photo of me in mid jump. I landed on my feet and fell back onto my butt, Matt marked where my hands landed.
"Okay, your turn MJ." Shane said as MJ jumped off, Shane snapped a photo of her and landed a few feet in front of me, but she didn't fall, unlike me. Matt marked her spot, then Jeff and Shannon started swinging, and they got high enough, Shannon jumped off, Shane snapped a photo right before he twisted in mid air landing on his feet. Matt marked where Shannon landed.
"Be careful Jeff, I don't want you to ruin your ankle anymore." I said.
"I do this for a living, I know how to do it." Jeff said as he jumped off doing a flip, Shane snapped a photo and Jeff landed on his butt
"See, he didn't even land on his feet." Matt said as he marked where Jeff's butt landed.
"I want to go!" Maria exclaimed, Matt handed me the sticks, Matt and Maria started swinging.
"Ladies first." Matt said as Maria jumped off, she got her picture taken as well, but she landed on her feet, MJ marked where she landed.
"Come on big talker." Shane said as Matt jumped off and he slid off, he didn't go that far, he landed on his feet.
"I think he is going to lose." I said.
"Shut up!" Matt said as he started chasing me, I ran up the jungle gym, then I ran to the monkey bars, I started going across the monkey bars but Matt grabbed me by the waist pulling me off we landed on the sand, we started rolling around.
"I'm sorry!" I yelled as he let me up, when we got back it was Velvet Sky's time to jump, Shane already jumped.
"I want to go down the slide." MJ said as me and her ran to the slide, we went down the twin slides, then we all went to the curling slide, I was the first one on there then it formed a line, Jeff wrapped his legs around me, then Shannon wrapped around Jeff, then it went MJ, Maria, Matt, Shane, and then Velvet Sky, we all slid down the slide, and when we got to the bottom there was Greg with my camera snapping a photo of us eight on the slide.
"That must not of been flattering." Matt said as I fell off the slide and everyone started falling on top of me. Greg then snapped a picture of everyone laying on top of me.
"Get off me! Someone's leg is in my butt." I said.
"Sorry, that's not my leg!" Shannon said.
"EW!" Everyone screamed as everyone scattered off and I pushed Shannon off me.
"The food is cooked." Greg said as we got up from the sand, dusting ourselves off and we laughed all the way back to the picnic area. We got our food, Maria, Matt, Chavo, Greg, MJ and Shannon sat at the picnic table, Shane, Velvet Sky, Jeff and I sat on the lawn chairs.
"Dude, I want to go eat on the tire swing." Jeff said.
"You'll get sick." Matt said.
"When do the fireworks go off?" Shane asked.
"9." Greg answered.
"What are we going to do for two hours?" Maria asked.
"I'm sure we can figure something out, plus I brought some popcorn for the firework display." I said.
"Did you bring salt?" MJ asked.
"Yeah, I love lots of salt on mine." I said.
"Okay, you two are getting your own bowl." Velvet said.
"I'm getting my own because I like mine with Tabasco sauce." Chavo said.
"That's the Mexican in you." Shannon said.
"So, what did you guys do while we were grilling?" Chavo asked.
"We did a jumping contest on who could jump further on the swings." Shane said.
"We never did find out who won." Maria said.
"I'll go find out." I said as I jumped up and took off running.
"No, I am!" MJ said as she got up and chased me, she grabbed me and pulled me, we both fell and rolled a little.
"What do you think you were doing?" I asked.
"I don't know." MJ said as Jeff and Shannon jumped on us.
"Dude, we just ate!" MJ said.
"That's the chance we are willing to take." Shannon said as they started tickling us, we were kicking uncontrollably, they finally stopped and helped us up. We then walked over to the tire swing, all four of us climbed on, we snapped a few photos of all four of us, I snapped a few photos of Shannon and MJ, a few of Jeff then MJ snatched my camera snapping a few of Jeff and I, we were spinning and swinging around.
"There you are, we were looking for you. We want to play Frisbee, you guys want to come and join?" Matt asked.
"Sure." MJ said as she went to climb out, she tripped and went face first into the sand, I busted up laughing.
"Are you okay?" I asked in the middle of laughter.
"I just ate dirt." MJ said spitting sand out of her mouth, I leaned back, I put my hands flat on the ground and did a walk over off the tire, I accidentally hit Shannon in the face.
"Dude, watch where you put those feet." Shannon said as he grabbed my feet, I couldn't go all the way over.
"Let go of me!" I yelled shaking my feet, he stood up so I was complete perpendicular to the ground. "Help me, someone!" I asked as Jeff got Shannon to let me go and I finished going rest of the way over.
"Frisbee." Jeff said as we walked towards the group that was already playing Frisbee, right when we got there Velvet threw it and it got stuck in the tree.
"Way to go Velvet!" Matt said.
"Who's going to get it down?" Maria asked.
"Someone give me a lift." I said.
"Why do you always get to do it?" MJ asked.
"Fine, I'll give you a lift, be careful." I said as I linked my hands together, she put her foot in my hands and I pushed her up to where she got to the first branch. MJ climbed up to the second branch where the Frisbee was, she threw it out, Greg ran to catch it. MJ climbed down to the bottom branch, she sat down and I stuck up my hands to catch her, she stuck hers out and she jumped down and I helped her down to her feet safely.
"We should play freeze tag, that's always fun." Shannon said.
"I don't know how to play that." Chavo said, we explained the rules to him.
"Everyone stick a hand in." Shane said.
"Any many miney mo, catch a tiger by it's toe, if he hollers, let it go, any many miney mo." I said hitting everyone's hand, and it landed on Jeff's hand.
"I'm out!" Jeff said.
"Shut up!" Matt said shoving him.
"Any many miney mo, catch a tiger by it's toe, if he hollers, let it go, any many miney mo." MJ said, and it landed on Velvet's hand.
"I'm out." Velvet said stepping back, we did it all the way down to where it got between Matt and Shannon.
"I hope I'm not it." Shannon said.
"You will." Matt said as I did the rhyme, it landed on Shannon.
"Told you that I won't be it." Shannon said smiling.
"Fine, what's the theme?" Matt asked.
"Movies and television shows." Maria said as we all dispersed in different ways, I made sure that I was near Jeff since he had a sprained ankle. Matt ran after us first because he knew Jeff was running slower.
"Power Rangers!" I yelled sitting down on the ground, he couldn't tag me.
"Batman!" Jeff yelled falling to the ground.
"Damn you!" Matt yelled as he turned around and ran after Maria and Velvet Sky, Jeff and I got to our feet and started running. Jeff and I climbed on top of the monkey bars, we were laying up there watching the others running around, we then saw Matt running in our direction, I saw MJ, Shane, Chavo, and Greg were all frozen.
"Come on!" I yelled as I jumped over the side of the monkey bars.
"You're a crazy mother fucker!" Jeff said as he jumped off as well, we were cornered.
"Family Guy!" I yelled sitting down.
"CSI: New York!" Jeff yelled sitting down on my lap.
"Thanks for that face full of ass." I said.
"You know you enjoyed it." Matt said as he took off running to find the others, Jeff got up and pulled me up, we ran under the bridge trying to hide out.
"Alright, we have four frozen. Shannon is in the tree over there, Maria and Velvet are being chased right now." I said.
"I'll take Chavo and Greg, their closest together, you get MJ and Shane." Jeff said we separated in two different directions, I ran up to MJ tagging her back in, and then I ran up to Shane, I was literally one inch away from touching him when Matt tagged me and I was now frozen.
"This is cute, I'm stuck like a freaking statue, my leg is stuck in midair." I said.
"At least you were trying to safe me." Shane said as I saw Maria heading towards us, she smacked both of us on our upper arms as she continued running by us.
"Sweet, we're in." I said as I took off running in search of Jeff, he was frozen on the tire swing. "How'd you end up here?" I asked as I tagged him in and jumped onto the swing with him.
"I thought Matt was busy chasing you guys, I figured to go for a swing." Jeff said.
"He's coming!" Greg said as he was running by, we jumped off the swing and climbed into the jungle gym sliding down the slide, we got to our feet and took off running, we unfroze Chavo who was frozen again. I checked my phone and it was 8:45, and I put it back into my pocket before I dropped it, luckily nobody was really near where we were, everyone else were closer to the fireworks display.
"Bring it in you guys, fifteen minutes until the fireworks start!" I yelled as everyone ran back to the picnic table.
