Endless Summer

Chapter One

Chapter One:

Its been almost six months since I last saw my brother Kyle. When I last saw him he had come home for Christmas. I had been a wreck, my boyfriend of a year and I had broken up and it was really hard on me. We had been broken up for some time, but we were together for a year so I had a hard time. I trusted him and he didn’t treat me right in the end, he lied to me.

“Excuse me Miss Livingston?”

I snap out of my thoughts, “Yes?”

“We're at your brother's house.”

“Oh, thanks.” My parents chauffeur gets out and comes to open my door for me. I get out and close the door. I walk over to the back of the car and start to help Charles.

“Well it sure has been long enough now hasn’t it!”

“Kyle!” I yell. I run over to him and he gives me a big bear hug.

Not letting go I whisper, “I’m missed you so much.”

“I know.” He whispers back. “Charles, I’ll help you.”

“Thank you Mr. Livingston.” Charles and Kyle start bringing my stuff into the house when a car pulls up, its Kim. Kim and Kyle have been together since I was a sophomore. She was always at our house and we got to know each other very well. She’s like a sister to me.

“Holly!” Kim runs over and hugs me. “I guess we have good timing!”

We pull away from each other. “Thank God for that.” I say. Kim puts her arm around me shoulders and we walk inside.

Like most of my family’s houses, Kyle’s is huge. My family is very rich and because of that people think that we are snotty and all about ourselves and our money, but its not true. Well everyone that knows my family knows that we aren’t like that. We have houses in many different places but my brother and Kim happen to live in this one in California. I actually live in California, but in a different part.

“Hol, we put your stuff in the room across from our’s.”

“Oh okay thanks.” I say. I say goodbye to Charles and then go up to my room to unpack.

I put my clothes into my closet and dresser. I set some pictures on my dresser and two on my bedside table. I unpack everything else and bring my bag of toiletries into my bathroom.

“Holly! Its time for dinner!” Kim calls. I make my way down the stairs and into the dining room. I sit down next to Kyle who is at the head of the table and across from Kim who is on the other side of Kyle. We start to eat but then talk a little.

“How have you been?” Kyle asks.

“Pretty good. I’m getting better.”

“I’m glad.”

“How’s school?” Kim asks.

“Its good. I have great friends. I hang out with Erica, my best friend, Eric Riley a little bit and his girlfriend Ever, but not them so much. Its mostly Erica, Julie, and Grace that I hang out with.”

“That’s good.” We sit there in silence for a few minutes.

“I went to prom.” I say.

Kim and Kyle look at me surprised, “Really?”

“Yeah. I wanted to go, no one forced me.” They smile.

“I went with Julie’s brother Emmet.”

“Did you have fun?” Kim asks.

“Yes, I did.” Kyle looks at me his eyes wide.

“Kyle, what’s wrong?”
