This Summer

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

 Hope leaned against the couch and was lost in the screen. She had spent the whole day catching up on TV shows and watching movies. Every Friday had been movie night for their family and it was finally her turn to pick two movies that they would watch. Of course she picked out her two all time favorite movies; The Notebook and the classic, Breakfast at Tiffany's. The Notebook was coming to an end and Hope looked around the room. The twin's weren't even paying attention to what was going on. They both sat on their Nintendo DS playing Pokémon and Mario. She looked up at her parents and saw that her mom was clinging onto her dads arm, tears streaking down her face. Hopes dad slowly wiped them away and glanced back at the screen. He never liked sad romance movies, but he never complained while watching them.

Today had been the laziest day that Hope had all summer and it was the perfect day for it to happen. She had gotten no phone calls whatsoever about hanging out. The weather was terrible, rain seemed to seep out of the black clouds that lingered in the sky. Wind blew from every direction, if you were to step outside your body would be soaked in a second.  

Hope wasn't paying attention to the new movie that her dad had put in. Instead she was listening to the soft pitter-patter of the rain hitting the window. It sounded like someone was lightly tapping his or her nail against the glass. She felt her eyelids  go heavy and wee slowly closing. She could hear her heart beating along with the rain creating its own rhythm.

When Hope opened her eyes everything around her was pitch black. It took her a few moments to realize that she had been moved to her own room. She tried sitting up but was stopped by the throb in her head. She set her head back down on the pillow and touched her forehead. There was a slight bump. What the heck? How did I get this? She thought to herself. She reached out her hand to the lamp that was sitting on her drawer. Her hand searched for the little knob that was near the top. When she finally found it she twisted it. Her eyes were closed when the bright light shone. Little by little she allowed her eyes to adjust to the brightness. 

That's when she noticed the paper that was sitting on her drawer. She picked it up and immediately noticed it was a boys handwriting. 

Hey they're Blondie. I came by earlier, wanted to hang out but... You were sleeping! (You look cute when you sleep (; but you do kinda drool.... ) I'm just kidding... 

Hope smiled while reading this because she immediately could hear Dylan's voice reading it to her. She continued on.

Anyways.. I met your parents! They're pretty cool! I hope they don't think I'm some sort of freak trying to come talk to you so late.. But its okay.. They'll be seeing me a lot more.. (; Well. I hope you have a goodnight and I hope to see you tomorrow. (:

                                       -Dylan(;

Hope smiled and tucked the letter under her pillow. She turned to her side and faced the window. Listening to the waves she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
