Chapter one:
Amy's POV
I was sitting next to my parents in the crowd while my younger brother Dylan was playing football. "Carolyn?" A lady said, "Stormie. How are you?" Mom said, "Good. The boys are playing a great game." Stormie said referring to the football match we were at. A couple of other kids sat next to Stormie. "Where's Mark?" Mom asked Stormie. "At work." Stormie replied. "You guys still coming tonight?" Mom asked, "Sorry. Mom." I said butting in, "Hi, I'm in Amy. Carolyn's daughter. Mom, what's happening tonight?" I asked, "Didn't your father tell you. Everyone in the football team are coming over, for a barbecue." Mom said, and my phone rang. "Hello." I said, answering it. It was my boyfriend Joe. "Hey Honey." He said, "Im so glad you called." I said, "You wanna come over, and fuck?" He asked, "Sure." I said and hung up. "I'm going to walk home. I'll see you tonight Stormie. It was nice meeting you." I said and walked off.
I arrived at Joe and noticed a group of people over. "Joe?" I asked as I walked in. No reply. I noticed smoke coming from the lounge room. I walked over to find Joe having sex with another woman, and I noticed there were pots of weed everywhere. "Amy, this isn't what it looks like." Joe said, stopping. "Yeah. I'll give you to minutes to explain." I said before the tears came poring out. "He was fucking me because he thinks you're a whore and you're ugly. You may as well die, Joe deserves someone like me." The woman underneath him said, and I walked out slamming the door.
I went to grab a smoothie. When I ordered it, I saw the Lynch family sitting together. They looked like a really happy family. "Hey Amy." Stormie said, as I walked passed them. "Come sit with us." Stormie said, "No it's fine. I should help Mom-" "I insist." Stormie said and pointed to a spot next to her tall blonde son. "Okay then." I said sitting down. "I'm Rydel, but you can call me Dell, or Delly." She said, "that's cool. I'm Amy." I said, "Awesome." Rydel said, "I'm Rocky, the good looking one in the family." He said flicking his hair. "No, you're not. I'm Ross, the good looking and sexiest and most successful child." He said and stuck out his hand for me to shake so I did. I already knew Ryland because he plays football with my brother. "I'm Riker." Riker said, who was the blonde next to me. "Oh you guys have awesome names, they all start with R" I said stating the obvious, and they all laughed at me. We had all finished our smoothies, so we were just sitting around talking and getting to know each other.
"Amy, would you like a ride home?" Stormie asked, "Okay." I said and noticed Joe at the smoothie bar. He looked at me and I looked at him, we made eye contact and we both gave each looks that it was over. "Who's that?" Rocky asked, "My Ex." I said, "When did you guys break up?" He asked, "about an hour ago." I said and he showed me to there car. "Oh. I'm sorry." He said and awkwardly hugged me. "I'm a hugger, I also like Mac and Cheese and Sloth's. They're awesome." He said and I returned the hug. I got in their car and they drove off. I opened the door to my house and I noticed Dylan, and some of his mates, Liam, Mitch and Lachlan playing on his play station so Ryland joined them. "Boys will be Boys." Rydel said and followed me into the kitchen. "Hey Mom." I said grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. "Where's Joe?" Mom asked. Rocky was already making himself at home. "They broke up like an hour ago." He said, "I never liked that barsted." Mom said, "Thanks Mom." I said, and Riker and Ross went out side and tried to flirt with some girls that were over. I went outside and noticed Dad trying to cook meat on the barbecue. "Amy, come over here can you-" I said and pulled the gas into the barbecue. "Fix it, get it started?" I asked and giggled. "Thank you" he said and kissed my cheek.
"When will dinner be ready?" I asked as I noticed Riker try pulling some moves on Mitch's older sister who was in the pool. "Six thirty sweetie." He said and put the meat on, "Mark. Good to see you." He said, and Dad shook his hand. "Good to see you too Daniel." He said and passed him a beer. "Hi, I'm Amy. I meet your wife and kids before." I said introducing myself. "Nice you meet you Amy, as you know I'm Mr Lynch, but please call me Mark." He said, "No problem." I said and walked up stairs. I quickly just changed into shorts and a tank off, when I heard a knock at my door. "Hey Amy, Can I come in?" Rydel asked, "Sure." I said opening my door. "Thank you. Your house is really cool." She said, "Thanks." I said and sat down on my bed and she sat down on my desk chair. She began looking at all of my photos on my wall. "So, you're from around here?" She stated, "Yep. Born and Bred Cali Girl. Mom home schools me. Dylan goes to the public school." I said, "Nice. Ross and Ryland are also home schooled." She said. "Do you like Hello Kitty?" She asked, "I'm not a huge fan of it, but my cousin is. She gave me her Hello Kitty band aids before I left. I still have them." I said getting up and going to my bathroom. I went to look for them went she went into the bathroom.
"Do you like Riker?" She blurted out. "Which one was Riker?" I asked, "The tall blonde one." She said, "His alright, I hardly know him." I said, still look for the band aids. "Oh. Well, I've never seen him shy around a girl before." She said, "Huh?" I said grabbing the band aids and showing here. "I'm mean. I think he likes you." She said, "We just met." I said to her. "So? Look at him out there." She said pointing outside my window. "Yeah? And." I said, watching him take his shirt off. "His usually making out with girl all over the place." She said, "Okay then. And you point is?" I asked her, "He totally likes you!" She yelled. "Girls. Dinner's almost ready." My Mom said knocking on the door and walking away. "We just met, and I just got out of a relationship." I reassured her. "Oh. Yeah." She said, "I'm sorry." She said, "It's fine." I said, I'm surprised I actually haven't cried over this break up.
