Summer Rose (ROTG fanfic)

Chapter 1 (rewrite)

Summertime, it's everyone's favorite season right? Heat, sports, outdoor fun, ice cream ya that's life or is it? Ever wonder who's in control of that? Me hi im summer, ya i know the real original name right? I wanna tell you all a story, the story of how I helped the guardians, how I hurt the guardians, and most importantly my story.

Wintertime 2027, I was standing outside my friend cleos house in just a thin sweatshirt and a long pair of jeans. My long ginger hair was tied up into a ponytail. I was just trying to get her to come outside but she was too busy arguing with me that I should be bundled up. The cold air nipped at my nose but it never bothered me at least. I enjoyed the cold. "Admit it, you look insane" she said from her doorway holding out a coat to me. "Its like 30 degrees out and your just in a sweatshirt. Put it on summer rose" she said using my full name.

I sighed in defeat as I walked up taking the jacket but not zipping it up. "Better?" I asked scornfully. My collage of green and brown eyes met hers knowing I had lost this battle.

"Much" she said happily. Her dark brown hair was cut short into a pixie cut and her hair almost matched her dark brown eyes perfectly. She was a bit of a heavier girl not obese or anything just a bit larger than the average teenager. "Now We are headed to the snowball match?" she asked with a smirk. She was the competitive one of our group of friends.

"I believe we were" I agreed as she shut the door behind her. Leading the way we took an about 5 minute walk down the road towards the public park where Jamie Bennett and his friends were holding a snowball tournament for all ages.

"Summer," he said recognising me. Though I was a highschooler my family was pretty well known so it wasn't weird that the kids or adults of Burgess recognised me. "You came!" he said excitedly. As he said that a snowball flew past his head, missing me by just a few inches. He was laughing and having fun and that mad me smile as he turned around quickly. "Hey no fair"

"All's fair" another kid shouted back packing another snowball with her hands as she prepared to throw another. I began scooping up snow to retaliate. This is how the day started. Little did i know that in just a few short hours my life would be turned upside down and i'd lose it all.

The Christmas tree was set up bright and cheerful was the mood that day. Cleo had decided to stay with me that night as we didnt have school until January and that meant we were free to hang out as much as we liked. This is just how the night ended. I never expected to be awoken by the smell of smoke.

SMOKE! I was jolted from my sleep "Cleo!" I shouted desperate pleas trying to find my way through the halls. I could hear her ahead of me, though I wasn't sure. My house was heavily aflame. I could hear the fire fighters outside calling to each other and the heat was intense. Suddenly CRACK! I heard a beam cracking ahead of me as it snapped, blocking my way. Doubling back, by this time the smoke was burning my lungs, I had attempted to make it back to my room. My vision was fading due to lack of oxygen.

"My daughter's still in there!" I could hear my dads pleas outside as I reached for the door ahead. I began coughing heavily before fading away to black. This is the last thing I remember before waking up staring up at the moon.
