Christian POV
We're now 3 weeks in to summer and I can honestly say I have never enjoyed summer so much, I can't wait to start college with Ana and the gang though its going to be amazing! We're having a huge family bbq today we're expecting around 100 to attend maybe more, Ana will be coming along to meet the family members she hasn't met yet, I cant wait to show her off. I'm so proud to have her by my side. I'm picking her up at 11:00am as she requested to come over and help set everything for when people start arriving at around 2:00pm, I look at my phone and its now 9:30 I decide to go for a shower and get myself ready.
I head downstairs at 10:15 dressed and ready to pick Ana up after having something to eat, I fancy pancakes today so my mum gets to making them while I sit with Elliot and talk about the bbq today and how we can't stand some of the family members coming. I eat my pancakes as quick as I can eager to pick up Ana. I get in my car and drive over to Ana's while listening to some music with the windows down taking in the lovely weather today. I beep outside Ana's and she comes out in a pair of Coral high waist shorts , white pumps and a white shirt, she looks amazing her legs look so long and sexy. She climbs in the car and gives me a kiss which tells me she has missed me, the drive back to my house is peaceful with Ana occasionally leaning over and kissing my cheek. She makes me feel so special with her small displays of affection, she's too good to be true. We pull in the drive way and head inside, my mum is preparing salads, chilli and all sorts of food for people to eat, there are two tables full already, Ana stays there to help my mum with that while I head outside to help organise the garden. Me and Elliot are taking tables from the garage and placing them around the garden while Mia follows behind placing the chairs. We must have at least 15 large tables that seat ten people, along with extra seats stacked up incase they're needed. My dad is busy setting up the music system and microphone, all stuff we hate doing. I go back inside and I'm sure the amount of food has doubled! My god are feeding a country, this will be way too much I think to myself but choose not to voice my opinions.
Ana POV
I have loved helping Grace prepare the food, Kate came along and helped well i say helped, she isn't much help when she doesn't know the first thing about food, but she kept us company. It was lovely to spend some time just us girls, Grace is so funny when she isn't around her children, she is a lot more relaxed. We have finished preparing the food by about 12:30 Grace is going to get her nails done and insists me and Kate go with her to get ours done aswell. I want to say no but Im sure Grace will not take no for answer so i agree and go to find Christian. I find him near the boathouse in the garden "Christian me and kate are going with your mum to get our nails done, we should be back soon, don't miss me too much" I say and plant a kiss on his lips. "Okay baby, have fun, missing you already" He winks at me. We drive to the nail parlour Grace always goes to when she gets her nails done, I must say the place is like a palace, Its absolutely gorgeous, Decorated with greys and mirrors, very simple but oh so very glamorous. We take our seats next to each other as we are getting our nails done and chat about how excited we are about the BBQ, Grace fills us in on a few of the guests that are coming she tells us that her brother mike's wife, Diana can be a bit of a bitch and not to take anything she says to heart, other than that she said everyone else is lovely.
We head back to the house and its now 1:45 and guest should be coming pretty soon, an hour later and the BBQ is in full swing, there are so many people here and I have been introduced to almost half of them so far. I'm pulled away from my thoughts when I hear Grace shouting me, Christian and I walk over and i notice his grip on my hand has become tighter, Grace introduces us to Mr and Mrs shepherd who are old friends along with their daughter who is mine and Christians age her name is Violet, "Its a pleasure to meet you all" I say offering my hand and shaking all of them. Theres something about Violet she didn't look happy to meet me at all, infact she looked rather angry if im honest, I decide to not over think it and carry on with the BBQ. A couple of hours have passed by and Carrick gets up and gets the microphone "Me and My family would like to thank you all for coming this evening we're honoured to have you all in our home, we hope you're enjoying yourself, have a good night everybody and thankyou!" we all clap and I turn to Christian telling him I need to go to the toilet and will be back in a minute. Once ive done at the toilet I wash my hands and open the door to find Violet leaning against the wall staring at me"Hi violet, the bathroom is all yours now" i say smiling she walks past me "Wait, Ana isn't it?" she says smugly "Yes" I say timidly worried on where this is going. "I loved him first you know, he never loved me but I loved him first and I will get him" She steps closer to my face "You mark my words, he won't stay yours for long you bitch" she spits at me and with that walks in to the bathroom closes the door behind her. WHAT THE HELL! Who does that bitch think she is, i go to walk back to Christian but decide against it and wait for her to leave the bathroom, as she does she looks pretty shocked to see me "You may have 'loved' him first but the point is he never loved you, and he never will so for your information he will stay mine for a long time because our love is unconditional and a silly little girl like you isn't going to change that!" I spit at her venomously. She laughs and walks past me, I follow her in order to get back to Christian but just as I'm heading up the steps to our table I go light headed and everything goes black.
Christian POV
Ana left to go to the toilet about 20 minutes ago I'm starting to worry, I'm just about to stand to search for her when I see her leaving the house, I smile at how beautiful she is, she puts everybody here to shame. As soon as I see her first foot land on the step to our table I see her go pale, and wobble, I jump from my seat and see her falling towards the floor, I manage to get there just in time to stop her head hitting the concrete with force. "MUM! MUM QUICK HELP ITS ANA!" i scream and suddenly my mum is dashing over "Pick her up and bring her in to the house Christian NOW! What happened?" she asks as we rush inside. "I don't know mum she went to the toilet and just fell to the floor on her way back, mum please is she going to be ok?" I ask Im so scared, I have no idea what is wrong with my baby. "Christian I'll see to her, go and find you're dad and El and Kate tell your dad and Elliot not to let anyone in here and bring kate back with you!" She says to me and with that I'm out the door following my orders. Kate rushes back inside with me and kneels next to the couch my mum has layed Ana on, my mum tells me to get her a cold wet cloth and some water. Me and kate sit by here watching intently as I see Anas eyes fluttering open. "Ana, Its grace can you hear me?" my mum asks in the gentlest voice ana nods her head slowly and we begin to sit her up and put the cloth on her head and give her the water.
After bringing Ana round we finally learnt what happened, it seems Violet had verbally attacked ana when she went to the bathroom causing ana to get irate and her blood pressure to rise because of the adrenaline, and due to her lack of food over the past couple of days she passed out from all of the unfamiliar things that were happening in her body. I am about to go outside to find Violet and rip her a new one , as im approaching I see kate beat me to the punch she is about an inch from Violets face screaming at her for hurting her bestfriend. Violet looks scared and just nods her head at Kate and walks away. Im blown away by Kate, I knew she was loyal to Ana but never did I expect that. We head back inside and my mum tells me that Ana and I should probably call it a night as she is very drained. So with that we're off to bed and sleeping with my body tangling with Ana's to keep her close.
