The Best Days - c.h

Chapter 3

"Because I want someone else."

Ava's P.O.V

"Let the best days of our lives...begin!" Ashton yelled as he unlocked the front door to his grandparent's beach house. "This is ours for the next seven weeks."

As soon as we all stepped inside, everyone went their own directions.

Marcy & Claire ran upstairs to find the best bedroom, Michael chasing after them to find it first, Calum & Luke ran outside to see the beach, Ashton was walking around making sure that the aircon was on the right setting & also plugging in everything that his grandparents unplug when they leave for a period of time while I went to see the kitchen since I'd be the only one cooking while we were here.

"I should have known you'd be in here, our future world renowned chef." Calum then walked in. "Have you seen outside yet? It's sick."

"Uh no." I shook my head. "I'll look in a second."

"Nope. Come look now!" Calum motioned for me to follow & he walked through the house, again out the back door. "See?"

"Wow."

The beach was literally right there.

I walked outside first onto a patio area that had a grill & also a bonfire pit. Right past the patio, it was our own area of sand, clean, golden sand which eventually met with the shoreline of the ocean water. 

It was like our own piece of the ocean. 

I could spend seven weeks here, no problem.

"It's awesome, right?" Luke asked me, breaking me from the haze I was in just looking at how cool it was to literally have the beach out my back door.

"Oh, yea. It really is. We're so lucky Ash's grandparents let us stay here."

"Well it has been our plan ever since we were eleven." Calum spoke up as he kicked some sand around. "I'm glad it is finally happened."

"Me too." I agreed.

"Yo! Aves! Come check out upstairs. I got us the better bedroom." Michael shouted from the door. He wasn't the biggest outdoor person so he didn't need to come enjoy the view that the beach had to offer like I just did. 

"Remember I'm cuddling with you when Calum has a girl over!" Luke yelled back at me as I was walking back towards the house."

"In your dreams, Hemmings!"

"Ava! Come on." Michael was already running up the stairs as I trailed behind. "Come look at the room I picked for us."

Michael then walked into a fairly average-looking bedroom. It had light green walls with two twin beds in the middle of the room & a couch against the wall underneath the window.

Even though Michael said he picked this room for us, I think by default it was going to be ours anyway because the room with a single big bed was for Marcy & Claire. The room with just two single beds would be for Calum & Luke. This room had two beds & the couch so it was for three people, a.k.a Michael, Ashton & myself but if he was proud of himself for claiming this room, I'd pretend to be proud too. 

"Yea, it seems great. Who gets the couch?" I asked as I sat down on one of the beds, looking out the window, which did look over the water.

"I want to say Ashton but since this is his house kind of, I can sleep on it." 

"Are you sure? I don't mind the couch."

"Nah Aves, you take the bed. I can always join you if the couch becomes uncomfortable."
