Seventeen

13) Beach & Dreams

~Drew's POV~

I go silent at Lucy's words and look back and forth between Lily and Austin. I saw that they were holding hands but didn't think much of it, and anyway I couldn't react with Levi around without causing suspicion. I couldn't help the fact that my eyes were bulging in shock, and I took a step back awaiting Lily's answer.

"Your what?!" Levi almost choked on his drink.

"No!" Shouted Lily before anymore confusion "We are not together, just really good friends" She says calmly to Lucy.

"Oh" Replies Lucy, "I didn't mean to say that, I just assumed tha-"

"Its okay honestly" Says Lily laughing slightly.

Levi was still looking annoyed but was masking it for Lucy, I could see her was still trying to believe that Lily's words were true.

I saw Austin step back releasing Lily's hand awkwardly, they exchanged glances and we all began chatting. I still felt slightly angry, and I had no idea why, Lily wouldn't see Austin, especially after our kiss. Would she? I shook it off hoping to change the subject, and we began to get to know Lucy instead. It turned out that she and Levi had known each other for a while, but Levi didn't want to say anything because he didn't know how it would effect the band. We spent the next few hours on the pier all together when we decided to head back to the beach. Luckily Jason had not made an appearance today, as surely we didn't need anymore drama.

I watched as Lily sat reading a magazine she had purchased, as she laid across the sand. I sat down near her, mirroring her actions.

~Lily's POV~

I sat reading on the sand until Levi pulled me into the water. We hadn't brought anything to change into so we couldn't swim, but that didn't stop all four boys charging at me through the water and splashing me. I splashed everyone back, but it was unfair as I was on my own. Soon Nate was throwing me in, soaking my clothes and so I pulled them in next to me. It was getting late, and after all of us swimming around for a while, we made our way back up the beach to Lucy who was watching our stuff. We then decided to go out to eat, we stopped by Wendy's for a meal and a drink. I was so hungry I was finished in practically seconds.

By the time we had got home, my mom was already in bed. We were quiet not to wake her, and so we all tiptoed upstairs to our rooms. With Lucy staying as well, Drew decided he would take the sofa to make more room in the spare room.

"Goodnight Drew" I said to him after I had made him a bed, and I was heading upstairs to my own.

"Sweet dreams" He replied before turning off the light.

I got to my room, and got changed and ready for bed, and went to all the room and said good night to all the boys like usual, and also tonight to Lucy as well. I was really happy for Levi, I'm glad that he has actual found someone, as he hasn't dated since High School. Finally I closed my bedroom door, and drifted off to sleep.

What felt like moments later, I awoke hearing my door creak open. I sat up sleepily and saw Austin standing in the doorway. Had he even been asleep yet? Before I could think he was making his way over to me. My eyes were fluttering closed, I was so sleepy. I laid back down slightly as Austin sat beside me on the bed. Was this a dream?

"I don't know when I'll get the chance to do this again" He whispered softly as he kissed me carefully, and walked out of the room. Moments later I had fallen back asleep, unable to distinguish dreams and reality.
