《t h i r t e e n》

My oldest memory is of my 6th birthday. I remember going to Andi's baseball game before my party, and him being sad because they lost. He never was the sporty type, but he would always act like he was when are parents were around. My dad was very strict on the fact that he had to play a sport, to be just like him, who played baseball and basketball all his life. But had be a lawyer, something realistic.

Which makes me think if my dad were here, would he approve of this? I know Andi does... or would, I mean. I know if I get the chance to be in the group, I'm taking a lot a risks. I took this opportunity to see if I can gain money for college something to satisfy my mom and dad. My mom never really cared what I did as long I was out of trouble.

She's changed a lot since that day. She got in thinner, and the bags on her eyes got darker after every cry. It wasn't just physically, but mentally and emotional as well. She's been really clingy to me, so for her to actually allow to come here in the first place was a big surprise all in its self.

I hope she's doing fine right now, all by herself; in the house with hanging pictures, hanging memories everywhere. I know I wouldn't tolerate to see those frames with out a sharp pain in my chest. In some way I feel guilty for not wanting to go back to her, to all that. Those that make me a bad daughter?

Well be together very soon, I promise

Andi's word drill into my mind. I want to dream of him again, to see him again, and hopefully dad is there too. Oh guys I miss you.

''Stop whining they'll get here soon,''

''Uh?'' I look up to see Margo holding up two different swimsuits.

''The guys? Or who were you talking about?"

Was I thinking out loud?!

''How much did I say!'' I start freaking out. Did I mention my family out loud?

''You just sighed like an idiot and said 'guys I miss you'''. She mocked me being over dramatic. I just rolled my eyes and reached for my phone to check the time. Its 10 minutes to one o'clock , have I been in bed all day?

''You know lazy pants you should really get ready,'' she placed her hot pink bikini in her bed.

''I'm not going to swim,'' I say.

''But why?'' Keta suddenly appears from the bathroom.

''I don't have a swimsuit.'' I simply say.

''Oh will that's no problem just wear shorts and a t-shirt, there problem solved.'' She walks out and takes her phone from charging.

''Fine I will-'' before I could finish my sentence there's three knocks at the door and Margo quickly rushes to the door while I stroll to my suit case and look from those articles of clothing.

I hear the door open and close, followed my Margo saying hello to all of them. Emery is the first to walk, in after knocking of course. He has a huge smile plastered in his face showing his perfect white teeth. Jon( who wearing a captain's hat) waves at us as Ricky just leans on the wall with his arms behind his back.

"I had Bella reserve the pool until 4 so lets our booties down there.'' Emery crosses his arms and walks out as fast as he walked in. Just in time I find what I was looking for, and extra pairs of clothes, and rush out the door already behind.

The elevator dinged open and to the bottom floor we went. It wasn't long until we arrived and there was a tan skinned man dressed in all white in front the doors. We greeted him as we walked by him to the indoor pool.

It feels odd to have such a grand place all to ourselves. There were comfy orange chairs all around the pool, that was the center of it all. ''I'll go change,'' I announce while the rest choose a place to lay there stuff.
