One Summer To Remember..

"Welcome home" I sighed as we pulled into this old shabby looking driveway. "This is now my new home, better get used  to it." I muttered under my breath. "I love you Bella," was the last thing my mother said to me as I got out of our sleek black sedan.

From this moment, I knew reality was kicking in.



I slowly started walking up toward the dark gloomy house. I didn't even look back to see if my disappointed mother had left from the driveway. I stepped onto the front porch, it was dark. Before I could even prepare myself for what would happen next, I found myself being hugged tightly by my Aunt Linda. She is my mothers older sister, she doesn't look anything like her though, she is the complete opposite. Linda was small and very round. But she had one amazing quality about her and that are her eyes, they were big crystal blue eyes that captured your soul when she looked at you. Her long blond hair was curly, it reminded me of my childhood.

Aunt Linda was dressed in a long white dress with a red checkered apron tied around her, she definitelty was your typical housewife.

"Oh hey Aunt Linda," I said trying to sound as enthusiastic as possible.  "Bella your so thin!" She stated. "Come inside, it's was too hot to be standing outside." I followed her inside the smalls run down house. This ways of living was completely different to where I come from but it had a sense of happiness which my home never had. The sense made me start to believe that everything may not be so bad after all.



Inside the house was one long hallway which held the kitchen at the end. The bedrooms and bathroom were along the hallway. Aunt Linda guided me to my new room as she blabbed on about her excitement, I really wasn't paying any attention to her.

We finally reached my room. I was shocked to see how big it was. It had one gigantic window overlooking the vegetable garden. Under the window was my bed with a pink frilly quilt. Beside was a small table with a reading lamp and an alarm clock on top. It was a pretty average room with a desk and a floor mat to cover the dark wooden floor boards. I slowly walked over to my bed and gently placed my suitcase on top. I was too busy observing every inch of the room to even notice that Aunt Linda had left. I threw myself on my bed and began crying.



I was suddenly in deep thought about that dreadful summer that changed my life. "Mum and Dad decided to surprise me with a vacation away to a little beach town called ' Palm Beach'.

My parents always worked long hours to ever spend time with me, I was always alone. I was fairly stoked that I would be spending a whole summer with them! I was finally escaping New York and hopefully I would have fun like normal teenagers do.

I have been a sheltered good teenager, I am an A-grade student, never had friends or went out and I definitelty have never spoken to a boy. But all that changed this summer.



As soon as we arrived at our destination I was aloud to check out the town and the beach. Nothing was exciting about the town so I wandered off to the beach.

It was beautiful. The water was a deep blue with little waves approaching the shore, the sand was a dark gold, covered in shells. I chose a comfy spot on the hot sand with a bit of shade covering my skin. I was watching the waves crash down when I was suddenly disturbed. A tall muscled boy placed himself next to me. I could tell he was a surfer from just looking at him. He had shaggy long blond hair and clear blue eyes but his smile was breath-taking. I couldn't believe how fascinated I was by his appearance that I had to keep reminding myself to breathe. I was very confused to why he was talking to me. But we spoke for hours. He wanted to see me again, so we organized a date tomorrow.

My parents sent me to an all girls school so I never really associated with boys. But the way he looked at me made me feel self-conscious, eventually I shrugged the feeling off and let myself go. I felt rebellious.



I got up really early the next day because I kept tossing and turning all night. I wanted to see him so badly. I took a shower and put on a sun dress, applied a little bit of make-up and ran out the door. I was meeting him in town for brunch.

We ordered our meals and were in deep discussion about college and the future. I was in love for the first time.



I quickly shook the thought of what happened and started unpacking my things. This is my new home now and will be for a very long time...



"Bella," Linda yelled out, I quickly got up and walked to the kitchen. The kitchen was very modern. Dishwasher, oven, stove, kettle, toaster, garbage bin was all in the one room, along with their dining room table. The table had four place-mats on top of the wooden round table. In the middle was a fruit bowl. "Bella, I'm cooking dinner, will be ready in 5 minutes." She said as sat down at the table. "Thanks Aunt Linda." I said. "I'm so glad your here, I understand the situation and you shouldn't feel guilty about what happened, it's just nature. Something your mother will never understand, but in the mean time this is your new home till your all better." I sighed at what she said and put my head on the table and thought of him, Scott.



We spent every minute of that summer together. We fell in love so quickly and both had raging hormones. One amazing night came. I snuck out of our villa. We walked to the beach. It was beautiful. He swept me up in hiss massive arms and placed me on the sand and began kissing me passionately. It felt so right. We made love all night, he walked me home before dawn as I crept into my room with a massive smile on my face.

We both had decided to run away together because he was going to Providence for college when the summer ended. I said Yes of course. I have never done anything adventurous in my life before and I was sick of being stuck in my room at home. We planned everything and I would apply for the college he was going to when I was old enough.

It was a friday morning, he came to my villa to pick me up. I packed my things and left a note on my bed... We didn't even make it to the airport. I knew I was in big trouble and that I would never see him again. He promised he would come back to me but I knew the chances of that are unlikely.



I had to tell my parents everything about Scott. Even that we had sex! Which didn't go down well, Mum panicked and took me to the doctors straight away to see if I was pregnant. They did the tests and they came back positive. My heart shattered at that point...



"Eat up Bella!" My Aunt said, but I was too busy thinking of the events that have happened to me in such a little period of time, it made me feel nauseous.

I was staring at my Aunt's famous pumpkin soup when we all heard a loud knock on the door. I quickly jumped up and said "I'll get it" and bolted down the hallway. I couldn't stand being at that table anymore with all that emotion flowing through me. I grasped the rusty door knob and opened the door. I suddenly froze, my eyes locked on his blue eyes, I was speechless. He gave me my favorite cheeky grin and said "Don't worry Bella, I'm here now," and pulled me into his big muscled arms.
