A Summer To Temember

Chapter 1

~Cameron~

I place the last few pictures in the box and write 'Photos' across the top.

"That's everything" I say to myself, thinking nobody is around.

My sister Anna sticks her head in my bedroom door, "I'm gonna miss you bud" she says "I'm not moving that far, I'll come home for Sunday dinners" I say stacking the boxes up by the door. "It's 2 hours away, are you sure it's worth coming home every weekend?" She asks "as often as I can" I answer back.

"Will you help me load these boxes outside?" I ask her, "sure" she says then grabs a box and walks away.

Yes I'm 26 and I'm just moving out of my parents house for the first time. I was alway away touring and stuff so it was easier to just leave all my shit here. Now that I was kicked out the band, I'm gonna move out and start my new path in life.

I've got myself a 2 bedroom place just a couple hours north of my parents place so I will be close enough to come home if I need anything.

"That's all the boxes" my dad says as he closes the trailer door. "Thanks" I say back to him. "Are you sure you don't want some company for the drive?" My mom asks "how will you get home after?" I ask laughing. "True, maybe it's best that we all just stay here" she says. "I'll be back next weekend for the whole day on Sunday" I say as I walk towards my parents to give them both a hug.

This is gonna be weird to live on my own. I have to cook my own meals, clean the whole house, and pay for everything. Maybe I'll just move home again in a month.

I get in my car. Plug my phone into the aux cord and head up to LA baby!

I pull into the driveway of my very own house. I grab a box and head inside. This isn't gonna be that bad.

I get to drink whenever I want, have friends over whenever I want, and maybe even find myself a cute girl to bring home.

As I am loading furniture out of the trailer, I hear a voice say "hey, do you need some help?" And it's a guy close to my age. "Actually yea, these dressers are a little too heavy for one person" I say back. "I'm Luke by the way" "hey, I'm Cameron" I say as we both grab one end of the dresser.

"So do you live around here?" I ask walking through the front door. "Yes, next door" "well that's great, maybe we can grab a beer later, we'll I would offer you one right now, but I haven't been to the grocery store yet" I say laughing. "That's alright, I know where you live, I'll come by late to cash in" he says laughing.

I close up the trailer door "thanks for your help man" I say to Luke, "no problem" "You free for a beer tomorrow evening?" I ask "yea, that works for me, catch ya later" he says then walks back towards his house.

I watch, in a not creepy way as he walks towards his house. Does he live there on his own? Maybe he's got a cute girl that he can hook me up with her friend?

Wow I've been living on my own for 3 hours and I'm already thinking about hooking up with girls. It wasn't the easiest thing to do living at home with my parents so how's the time to do all those things I've been dreaming about.
