Chapter 1
FLASHBACK
Lindseys P.O.V
The year was 2006 me and my Mom were moving into a brand new neighborhood Oak Vista
Drive. I stare out the window of my mom's mini van the radio playing oldies music the
slight smell of gasoline from the exhaust. We pass by many houses I see children riding there
bikes ,giggling and blowing bubbles peacefully, some parents even playing along with there child, everyone we passed by had a smile on there face, this seemed like a good neighborhood right? We reach our peach coloured house, the moving van is already parked there, my mom slowly stops and we just sit in the silence, not wanting to get out of the car and jump into a brand new life but we had no choice. My dad had died from cancer about a month ago, and my mom insisted on us moving so we bought a house and well here we are.
I'm still getting used to the fact that I will have to live without my dad he meant a lot to me, he was always there for me. I was to caught up in my thoughts to notice that my mom was already unloading our things into the house I hopped out and slowly walked over to help. I grabbed a box labeled " Lins baby stuff " and smiled I took it into the house. Me and my mom were still sad about my dad dying, but we were managing to get through with the help of all of our friends and other family. My mom is one of those people who likes to run away from her problems, and well the situation we are in now you can't exactly run away from it, I had never lost someone so important to me, sure I had lost things, but I never though losing someone would be so hard, sure I cried at the funeral and missed him, but about a month later, it finally hit me that he would be gone forever, that he was never coming back. Unloading took a lot faster once the movers came to help us, before I knew it everything was sitting in our empty living room my mom had decided to go put her stuff into her new room, I grabbed a box and was about to bring it to my new room when there was a knock at the door I slowly but down the box and opened the door to see a short handsome boy with brown/black hair standing behind his mom shyly holding a plate of cookies smiling " Hi, I just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood, I'm Amy and this is my son Jayden, these are for you and your mother! " she said while handing me the freshly baked goodies I smiled and said thanks " Is your mom here?" " Yes, but she is unloading her things into her room." Amy nodded I started to close the door but Jayden stopped me and said " Wanna play ball? " I nodded and quickly put the cookies on the empty kitchen floor and ran outside to play with my new friend.
END OF FLASH BACK
I jerk up from my bed covered in sweat panting. I had the same dream again. I've been having that dream ever since school got out for the summer. Me and Jayden became friends at first until 5th grade when I realized I liked him more than a friend. My best friend Sadie had dared me to kiss him on the playground in sixth grade. I did it of course and we started going out after that. Once we started 9th grade, we slowly started to fall apart, after he cheated on me with this Taylor girl. That year was rough for me not only had I gotten my heart broken but I had to start thinking about where I wanted to go to college and blah blah blah. Once I started high school I didn't seem him around, someone told me he moved to California that summer. That's when I realized that it was time for me to move on so I did, I tore him out of my heart, depleted all of our old pictures, and messages I pushed him completely out of my life which, wasn't easy. I haven't thought about him well since I've been having those dreams. I look at my alarm clock on my night stand 8:00 am I sigh and try to fall back to sleep but it's useless. Today was officially the first day of summer. The year is 2017 I turned seventeen a couple of weeks ago me I hear my phone buzz from under my pillow, and yes if your asking I sleep with my phone under my pillow. I see it's a text from my best friend Sadie " Good morning" I smile at the text and reply with " Good morning!" me and Sadie have always had this special connection we clicked perfectly we have been friends since the end of middle school and to this day still teases me about that kiss in sixth grade. I hop out of my bed and rush into the shower, I keep it warm and it feels delightful running all over my body. Once I rinse out the conditioner, I get out and dry myself off, I grab a cute white top and some shorts. I go back into the bathroom and blow dry my long blonde hair once it's dry I wait for my straightener to heat up I glance at the clock and see that it is already almost 10, and yes I take a long time to get ready, what do you expect I'm a girl. I see I have another text from Sadie saying " Want to come over? " I text back saying " Yeah!" I quickly straighten my hair and put on some light eye shadow and some blush before heading out to my car. Sadie lives quit far away from me so sometimes we don't get to see each other for a while. Once I reach her house I knock softly, and smile when she opens the door.
