24 Months

Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

Harry arrived at my house. I only saw my parents car in the driveway. We walked up to the front door. Even though my parents car was in the driveway, I could see the house was dark inside. Maybe they were all around the pool. We walked in the house and as soon as I shut the door, my Nana and Pop-Pop, Uncle Brett, and Aunt Holly jumped up and hugged me. A bunch of Harry's family was there too.

"Congradulations on graduating!" Uncle Brett and Aunt Holly chorused together. Aunt Holly handed me some flowers and Uncle Brett handed me a card. Nana handed me a stuffed graduation bear and a hand made blanket that she made for me. Pop-Pop handed me another card. His card felt heavier than a normal card. I sat on the couch and opened Aunt H and Uncle B's card first. They had left $150 for me, and in the card it stated that themoney was for my trip to America. I got up and skipped over to them. "Thank You both sooooooo much!" I held out the word 'so' longer than normal.

Next came Nana and Pop-Pop's card. I opened it, and inside was something small wrapped in wrapping paper. I read the card first and found $300 in it, again, for my trip to America. So now I had $1200 saved for America.

I moved my attention to the wrapped object. I hadn't noticed that Harry finished with what his family had given him. Everyone's focus was on me. I slowly unwrapped it to find a small flat box. I opened the box to find a car key it a 'B' on wings on it. My mouth dropped to an 'o' shape. My grandparents had bought me a brand new Bentley. Ever since I was a little girl I had wanted a Bentley.

My Pop-Pop walked me into the garage and there was my brand new white Bentley. I smiled widely at him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you soo Much Pop-Pop. I love you!" I told him.

I walked back inside and hugged Nana just as tightly. "Thank you Nana. I love you!" I said while hugging her.

"Let's take it for a spin>" Harry whispered to behind me handing me the key.

I smiled and shouted, "We'll be back soon." while we walked to the garage.

"Oh, you two, we're going to be out by the pool, so Harry, if you want you should probably stop by the house on your way back, to get your swim shorts." Anne yelled to us before we were in the garage.

We got in the car and drove down the street. "Where should we go?" I asked him.

"How about the park?" he suggested.

I drove to the park. We got out and walked around the lake. We sat on the same bench we sat on the first time we hung out at the park. We watched the birds flying by and the little kids on the playground. "Addison and Harry?" someone said.

I turned around to see Auburey and Skylar back at the park again. "Hi." Harry and I said at the same time.

"Well, you two look a bit fancied up." Skylar said.

"We just came from our graduation." Harry told them.

"Oh that's right. Addison, you are leaving for America soon. Am I right?" Auburey asked.

"Yeah. I almost forgot about it. Wow, I leave in two days." I said looking at Harry.

We sat and talked to the old couple for a little bit, until Harry remembered that we should get going back to my house.

We said our good-bye's to the sweet old couple. We walked towards the car until I was called back by Auburey. "Addison, come here sweetie." I walked towards her and she smiled at Harry, behind me. "addison, I can tell how much you love him."

"Me, no I don't... I can't... I don't love him. He's my best friend." I corrected her.

"Addison, look at me." I stared in her blue-green eyes. "You obviously see how much I love Skylar. I was just like you at one point in my life. I can tell by the way you look at him, you really do love him." She smiled reassuringly at me.

I smiled back. "I really should be going. Our families are waiting for us." I pointed at the car, meaning Harry.

I got in the car and we drove over to his house. He ran in really quick and grabbed my duffle-bag from earlier and his swim shorts.

We arrived back at my house to our families all sitting around the pool. I ran up to my room and put on my swim suit. I walked out to see Harry already outside in the pool playing with my little cousins. I walked out to the pool.

"Mom, when did Jaimie, Lily, Jackson, and Ben get here?" I asked walking over to her, but focusing on my best friend playing around with my smaller cousins.

I guess I couldn't say they were too young. The oldest one, Jackson, was 15, the twins, Lily and Jaimie, were 12, and Ben was 7.

"While you and Harry were gone, Uncle Brett went and picked them up from Uncle Brett's sister's house."

I was getting my chair ready for me to lay out and tan, when I felt two wet arms wrap around my waist and water dripping down from someone's hair. I looked over my shoulder to see Harry grinning a sneaky smile at me.

I caught on to his plan. "HARRY! NO DON'T YOU DARE!!" I yelled at him as he jumped the both of us into the pool. I swam up to teh surface and smacked him on the arm. "I really hate you right now." I stated knowing my makeup was probably running down my face right now.

"You kinda got something on your face." he teased me.

I swam over to the steps to get out of the pool. I spun around and shot daggers at him. "Yeah, I know." He laughed at he. "Asshole" I mumbled under my breath. I walked over to my chair and wiped my face on the towel. "Addie, why won't you swim with us?" Ben asked me.

I looked at him over myshoulder. He used is normal puppy dog face. "Fine." I breathed out.

A/N: Chapter 8! I'm getting chapter 9 done today.

So Auburey supposedly knows something with Harry, and she's trying to convince Addie that she is in love with Harry. How random was it though that Auburey and Skylar showed up again.

Can I get somemore comments/vote/ and new fans? Keep reccommending this to people. (:

Love ya (:
