That Summer That Changed Everything

Chapter 2

It was around 6:30 and dinner was almost done. The moms of course were drinking wine and they were getting tipsy. I finished up making the pasta salad in the kitchen as the boys were bbqing .

" She is really growing up beautifully," Laurel says to my mom as they stare at me. I shake my head and smile.

" She's starting to look like me when I was in High school." My mom said.

" Oh boy , she's gonna be breaking hearts like you did" Laurel chuckled.

" Guys I'm right here and I'm definitely not breaking any hearts." I said as I put a lid on the pasta salad.

" Oh stop it" My mom said " You are going to be in plenty of relationships Camryn." Laurel continued.

" What are you guys going on about ?" Ethan said as he walked into the kitchen with an empty dirty pan.

" Camryn thinks she's not gonna be in a relationship ever and we are telling her that she is beautiful and she will be. She just hasn't found the right one yet." Laurel says as she finishes her third glass of wine. And my mom also finishes hers.

They get up to go get more wine from the dining room.

" You haven't been with anyone yet?" Ethan asked as he was cleaning the pan.

This is a great conversion right now. Not embarrassing at all.

I turn around to face him. " Kind of ? I have talked with guys. We just never leave the talking phase." Why am I telling him this?

" Oh, so have you had your first kiss yet?" He asked and stopped to look at me. I was stumped for a second. Why does he care if I have kissed someone yet?

" Yeah I have" I said in a low voice.

"But you're still a virgin. Right?" He asked with a weird look on his face. It was like he needed to know the answer.

Before I got to answer my mom came in telling us everything was done. Ethan instantly finished what he was doing and went outside without a word.

What the fuck was that?

Dinner was over and everything was cleaned up. My mom and Laurel went to bed because the room started spinning for them. Tyler also went to bed because he was tired from the drive here. We did wake up pretty early to get here at a decent time. I went outside to double check everything was cleaned up and Austin was asleep in his chair. I went over and tried to wake him up.

" Austin wake the hell up" I said and I shook him awake. He jumped up and instantly put his hand to his head. " I guess you were also drinking tonight?" I asked and he moaned and nodded his head. "Come on, let's go to bed." He stood up and leaned on me as we walked up to his room. I got him to sit on his bed and he smiled. "Why are you smiling ?" I asked, confused as I took his shoes off.

" Because. I'm happy you guys are here. It's been lonely since dad left on the 'work' trip" Austin mumbled and tried to make quotation motions with his hands when he said work.

" Why did you say work like that?" I asked. Did he really not go on a work trip? Is something going on?

" He fucked up and mom told him to leave, but she doesn't know I know, you know ?" He mumbled and laid into his bed and passed out.

What the hell? What did Mr.Salvatore do?

I tucked Austin in with a blanket and went into my room to change into a bathing suit. The first one I grabbed was the one my friend from home picked out. It was this powder blue two piece and the top tied in the back and was strapless. I grabbed my towel and took my hair out of the ponytail and went downstairs. I went out to the pool and threw my towel down onto a chair and went over to the pool. Ethan was sitting on the edge with his feet in . He changed to a different bathing suit. This one was blue, it was like we were matching, how cute. I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts.
