The broken light

Chapter 3

I was woken by the yelling of my youngest sister Clair. She was trying to find her hamster Dido, she always looses him so it's not unusual. I got up and started to help look for him so she would shut up. My sister Clair was the youngest of my family, and she was the quietest too. I think it's due to all the yelling in the house, she thinks that if she talks to one of us it will only end in yelling or an argument. I try to be the nicest I can to her because it must be hard to feel that way. I walked over to the bathroom to see if Dido squeezed under they door, and there he was, sitting on the toilet. I quickly picked him up and handed him over to Clair. She hugged me and then walked into her room. It was 11:45 when I went down stairs to have some breakfast, it was practically lunch. I could get the image of what tonight would look like, me and Nash together at a party. I also kept thinking about all the things that could go wrong, but I needed to stop. It was 12:00 when I was finished eating and I had 6 more hours til the party even started. I was bored out of my mind. Then there was a knock at my door I suddenly turned around from going up the stairs and headed toward the door. I was thinking in my head it was Nash, but it was just my ONLY friends Essence, Cheyenne, and Ivory.❤️ he's the information on why I only have three friends. Nobody at my school likes me, they think I'm weird. I welcomed them in and we went up stairs and sat in my room. We sat there and talked, essence was walking around my room looking at stuff. Then I saw her stop looking out the window. I asked "what is it?" Then she looked at me and started running. She ran down the stairs to the door. We all followed after her. Then there was a knock at the door she quickly answered it, "yes" she answered. I saw Nash look at me and he smiled, he made his way through the door and walked over to me. I saw all of the girls jaws drop, "hey" I said. I could feel my cheeks becoming hot and rosy. He asked "veronica..would you want to comeover a little early to help set up? And just to hangout?" I pushed my hair from out of my face, "yes" I said. He smiled, looked at all the girls and then left. I shut the door and breathed with relief, I was so excited. The girls left around 1:35, I had like 2 hours to get ready. I ran up stairs and started to do my hair first. I decided to pull it up into a sock bun in the back of my head, but I left out some small pieces on the side to curl. Then I did my makeup. I had so many dresses to pick from, my mom always went to dinner party's yand brought us with her. She only goes to them so that people don't know that she's a drunk. Horrible right? Well I decided to wear my favorite dress, my knee hight red dress with bows on the side. I was ready, I sat down stairs and waited for Nash to knock on the door. It felt like I was waiting 50 hours! I was ready, I decided to just get up and go myself. I was walking over and I could feel the mushy ground below my small healed shoes. I knocked lightly on the door and before I could finish the whole knock a little blonde headed girl answered the door. "Hi" she answered. I smiled and said "hello". "What do you want?"she asked me. I began to laugh, "I'm here to see Nash" I said still giggling. She looked at me confused, "are you his girlfriend?" She asked. I began to laugh harder, I think Nash heard me and so did everyone else in the house. Nash came over to the door and grabbed my hand pulling me into the house. It was beautiful inside. He walked me into the kitchen to meet his mom. "Hey mom this is veronica" Nash said, I smiled and stuck out my hand to shake hers. Then she pulled me in and started to hug me, " we are all huggers in this house sweety" she said laughing. "So you live next door right"she said while chopping carrots. "Yes, I've lived there almost my whole life" I said back. "Wow...well this place is quiet beautiful" she said. "Oh yes I agree" I said kind of awkwardly. I was not really sure what to say, I think Nash could tell because he said "goodbye" to her and took me to the back yard. We sat on his deck, this view was so pretty. The way the moon was reflecting on the water, it was perfect. More people started arriving and me and Nash were still in the back yard. Finally his mom came out and told us "come in and say hi at least, then you can get back to...whatever" we both laughed and walked inside. We said hi to, I think, everyone. He pulled me back out side, we walked off the deck and into the yard. I took of my shoes to feel the grass between my toes. I could feel the wet ground around my feet, the ground was maoist and soft. The cool ground felt amazing. I had flag my arms out and started spinning around, I was not in my world. I was seeing and feeling everything as...as they should be seen, beautiful. I had totally forgot I was with Nash. I look over and Nash is just starring and me and laughing. I stood still, scared to move, he probably thought I was weird. "What?" I said quietly. He started walking over to me, slowly. "It's just...your so goofy" he said waking closer and closer. "I looked at the ground and started at my feet wiggling in the grass, "oh" I said. He was finally in front of me, he pulled my chin up so my face looked at his. I was looking right into his piercing blue eyes. "But I love it" he said. He pulled my lips to meet his, I didn't have the chance to breath. It was all so quick, did Nash just kiss me? That was my first kiss. Nash Grier, my first kiss.
