━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I SAT IN THE PORCH ADMIRING THE SCENERY WHEN I SEE DEANNA WALKING UP TO ME. I get up and walk over to her while dusting myself off.
"Ah Quinn, mind if I have a word?" She asked as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Of course." I said. I walked with her and began to talk.
"I want to have a welcome party for the new group tomorrow but I don't know where to host it."
"Why not your house?" I asked.
"I don't think there will be enough room." She said.
"Hmm, how about Jessie's house. She'll be okay with it I hope." I replied. She smiled.
"I don't think she will mind. Jessie has always been a open minded person." She said. Not all the time Deanna.
"Good! I'll ask her." I said. Deanna grabbed my wrist and she accidentally pulled up my sleeves
"Hey what are you-" I stopped once she reached the bruises.
"Who did this?" She asked.
"I fell down the stairs. I did this to myself out of pure accident." More like ask Pete how those bruises got there. I jerked my arm away and walked off.
"It was Pete wasn't it?" She said. I stopped walking and turned around.
"You knew?" I asked astonished.
"I've known for a while." She said.
"They why haven't you done anything?"
"I can't interfere with personal life."
"Bullshit."
"Watch your mouth with me young lady."
"Oh please I've heard younger kids say worse." I walked off in a rage as I pulled some of my hair out. I accident bumped into someone and fell.
"Oh gosh I'm really sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I said as I lifted myself up.
"It's alright kid. I do that sometimes." The big man said. I looked up at him and he had red hair with a thick mustache.
"Cool another redhead." I said.
"Yep super cool." He said weirdly. I laughed and held my hand out.
"I'm Quinn." I said.
"Abraham, you took that fall like it was nothing." He said surprised.
"Well, I've fallen a lot so I'm used to it." I said while fixing my hair.
"How long have you've been here?" He asked.
"About 2 weeks." I said. He looked surprised.
"Wow, and how long have you've been out there?" He asked.
"I don't know, about maybe 3 years?" I said. He was shocked.
"Woah, that's amazing how long you've survived."
"I get that a lot, we'll I gotta go talk to someone about a party. Ill see you around!" I said. He held up the peace sign and I held it up in reply. I ran off back to the house and I saw Ron with Enid. They were laughing and smiling. I was happy for them but I also wished I had what they had. I went to the house and went inside. Surprisingly Jessie was in there and she was doing some type of art.
"Hey." I said. She looked up and smiled.
"You got a minute?" I asked. She nodded and came over to me.
"What's up sweetie?" She said.
"Deanna was wanting to hold a party to welcome the new people, and she was wondering if we could do it here?" I asked.
"Yeah of course, I would just have to clean up." She said.
"Don't worry, I want you to relax. I can make the house look good. Plus I can also get some food if Olivia says it okay." I said.
"Oh you don't have to." She said.
"But Im gonna do it anyways." I said. I began to grab the broom a sweep the house a bit and she just smiled.
"Even if you wanted to, Pete would be angry."
"Screw Pete. He just doesn't know what it's like for women to take a break. You tell him that you are tired and have been working your ass off." She just laughed and walked to her room. I swept all around the house and then began to clean off the kitchen. Making the over look new, wiping the counters, doing the dishes, all the major chores. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After what seemed like hours, I had made the house look very nice. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and heard the doorknob begin to turn. I sat very thing down and ran upstairs. I walked upstairs and Ron's light was on. I knocked on his door quietly and the door was already opened a bit.
"Ron?" I spoke quietly and saw no sight of Ron. I looked out in the night and saw him with Enid. I smiled and opened the window. I climbed out and sat on the roof.
"Hey guys." I said as I wave at them. They waved back as I see Ron grab Enid's hands. She turned her head and he kissed him. My jaw dropped. OMG THEY FINALLY DID IT!! I kicked my legs as I got up and carefully ran around the roof. I saw them walk away holding hands. I see a figure to the side of the grass and I hid behind the outer wall. I looked over to where the figure was and the light illuminated the person's skin. It was Carl, and he looked sad. My heart broke for him but also for me.
"Carl?" I whispered. He looked up and wiped his face. Was he crying?
"Quinn? Is that you?" He asked.
"Come up here." I said as I got closer to him. He walked over to me and I held out my hand to him. He grabbed it and I lifted him up. I pulled a little too hard and he made it up but fell on me. I looked down and he was face first into me.
"God I'm such an idiot." I said as I pushed him off me.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yep." He said as he dusted himself off. I sat on the ledge as he came over and sat next to me.
"So, I saw you looking over at Enid and Ron." I said. He scratched his neck.
"Oh, yeah.." He said.
"I understand how you feel. I know what it's like to like someone who is in love with someone else." I said.
"You do?"
"I've known it for my whole life." I wrapped my arm around his shoulder and gave him a side hug.
"But one thing I've known is that you will find that one person who makes you feel like the day will never end." I said while looking in his blue eyes. He gave me a cheeky grin.
"There was this one girl who I had like since preschool and I would always tell her to have a good day or that she looked pretty." He said. He remembers.
"Really, did she ever find out that you liked her?" I said.
"No, I wish I told her though, then she may be here today." That girl is right in front of you Carl.
"What was her name?" I asked.
"I can't remember, I've tried to but it was from a long time ago." He said.
"Well, maybe that girl is still out there... maybe she's sitting right next to you." I said. His face perked up.
"Wait you're... Quinn." He said as a bright smile appeared on his face. He hugged me and all I could do was smile and hug him back. Oh these summer night will never be forgotten.
