"Courtney! Shayne! Courtney! Shayne!" My family wee cheering for me and my brother from the sidelines. We were running the three-legged race, and of course we were winning. I always aim to win.

Shayne and I were running for our lives whilst laughing our heads off at the same time. Most people had fallen and there was just us and Lewis' left. We were running against Bridgette and that blond guy, who I saw making out so I assume they're dating. Anyway, we were neck and neck the whole way, right up until the end when Shayne and I fell. Luckily as we fell we rolled over the finish line, and he judges cleared it as a win. I was about to get up and start jumping, but Shayne was still attached to my leg.

The day flew by super fast. I never thought I'd be able to have fun with sports, or after everything that had happened during the summer. It was hard to believe summer was coming to a close already. We were leaving for home in two days time, then we only had five days till school. Even though it had been the worst summer of my life, I still didn't want it to end.

"Looks like we're in a three-way tie." Tom announced from his podium at the front of the large crowd of people. I pushed my way to the front and found myself looking up at the scoreboards. Baker:8, Lewis:8, Martin:8. Typical, the same thing happened last time my family competed in the competition, a three-way tie. My family didn't win back then, we were a weak team. This year will be different. Like I said, I aim to win.

"We're going to have to go to a tie breaker, all three family's prepare for the worst." Tom gave a devilish smirk to the crowd before turning and starting to walk off the stage, but he was stopped when someone from the middle row shouted out, "We can't compete." Everyone stared at the woman, presumably one of the Martin family. "Sorry, Tom. Family emergency, we've gotta run."

"Understood, looks like it's down to the Baker's and the Lewis'." Shayne and I smirked to each other before barging our way to the back fo the crowd and running straight to the few Lewis' who hadn't wanted to know about the score's.

"How'd we do?" Bridgette smiled.

"Good enough." Shayne returned the smile.

"How good is 'good enough'?" Will asked, using his fingers to quote my brother.

"Good enough to come in a tie for first." I told them, almost jumping into the air.

"A tie for first?" Duncan said. "And I'm guessing it would be with you, right?"

"Right." Shayne smirked.

"Let the best family win." One of Duncan's cousin's said.

"We plan to, Callum." Shane replied.

After a few minutes of staring each other down I finally gave up and walked away, smiling my head off. I was so glad that it was my family against Duncan's. I don;t know why when I think back on it, but at that moment it was perfect. It was like everything that had happened was now over and done with, the happiness I was feeling was over-powering, it knocked away the bad summer memories for a long period of time. But, the memories weren't permanently removed, in fact more were added.

A/N:I am like SUPER sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but tomorrow is my 16th birthday and am having like a MASSIVE party and it takes a hell of a lot to organize. Then I've got school starting on Monday, so I've had to prepare for that too. And my life is non-stop right now.

Even though it might not look worth it, PLEASE REVIEW!
