Today Harry is going on the family boat with us. It's always just been a thing with my parents and Atti, but I was so happy when my mom asked if Harry would like to join us this time. It made me so happy that my parents like him and actually wanna get to know him. I mean I've never had to go through my parents meeting a guy I've been with because they had already known Tanner and every other boy that I guess you could say I've ever been with. We only ever saw each other at school or hung out somewhere. My parents would never leave me alone at places either they just wouldn't hover over me all the time they'd do their only thing.

"You excited?" I ask Harry, as he drives us to my parents house. My parents live on the water so we could just leave from there in the back and it'll take us toward a small beach we always go to.

"Yeah I've never been on a boat before." He says, making my jaw drop. NEVER.

"Are you serious? You've never once been on a boat?" I say sitting up in my seat, now fully turned toward him.

"Nope never." He says looking over at me turning a red light.

"Well today's your lucky day then." I say with a big smile on my face leaning over the center console, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hmm really?" He says as the light turns green and he looks over at me for a second raising his eyebrows.

"Yup. When you're on the boat you feel this certain type of feeling like you're free and nothing can take the high you have away." I say thinking back to the many times I've been on the boat before.

"Well I'm very very excited." He says with a small grin as I put my hand on the back of his neck tangling my fingers in his hair.

After thirty minutes of complete traffic we are finally pulling up to my parents house. They have been waiting for us for over an hour and I made Harry pick me up early but we still got a bunch of traffic. I unbuckle my seatbelt opening the car door, my parents are already outside putting everything in the boat. Harry opens the trunk grabbing both our bags, with Harry trailing behind me I see the backgate open, Atti is passing things to my dad on the boat. Harry insists on carrying my bag for me even though it's only a tote bag of mine. My mom walks out the backdoor with her sunblock bag and gets onto the boat.

"Hey guys!" I say getting their attention, Atti quickly turns around looking over at us.

"Wow look who's finally here." He says putting his hands up and shaking his head. He's been texting me all morning telling me to hurry my ass over here. I hear Harry laughing behind me, while Atti comes up to us, making Harry laugh even more. He's wearing a purple bathing suit bottom with small monkeys sticking out their tongues on it. Those shorts scream Atticus.

"I like your shorts." I say with a grin on my face, walking up to Atti pulling him in for a tight hug.

"Thanks Bubba." He says putting his arms around my shoulders tightly, mine going around his waist.

"They look very Atti." I hear Harry say from behind me thinking the same thing I was. He really always thinks of the same things I'm thinking.

"Yeah they're definitely my new favorites." Atti says pulling back from the hug moving around me to give Harry a hug. They haven't hung out a lot and I don't know how much they have talked but I like the relationship they have already. I'm happy my brother likes Harry because if he didn't then it would be very hard for Harry to do things with my family.

Atti has a thing with relying on my parents, even though he doesn't rely on them so much that it gets really bad. He told my parents once that he hated him and then that guy wasn't allowed to come to my house for almost three months. Until his parents came over, telling my parents that they talked to him and he was just having a bad day. When I asked Atti what he did to him he had told me that he had been telling him stuff about how he wasn't athletic and he was an idiot for certain things he liked. My brother has always been a baby around my parents so they immediately believed him, but at that time I actually wasn't mad my brother said anything. I mean that was before everything happened but.
