Faraway

Chapter 1

Hello guys ! It's my first time writing a book so it might not satisfy your expectations. Trust me I'm just doing it for fun. The characters, actions and events are all fictional .So i hope you enjoy it <3.

------------------------------------
Jessica's POV.
"Jess!" yelled my mom from the kitchen,"they're gonna be here soon."
Groaning, I dragged my self to the bathroom . Taking a real quick shower I headed downstairs"I hate this" I muttered under my breath once I stepped in our tiny kitchen. I am not really a morning person and I don't get people who are excited to wake up, I'm convinced they're psychopaths.periodt.
"Jessica Quinn Reynolds,you have to cut that and politely wait for your friends to come!" scolded my mother her emerald iris staring straight at my identical ones.
It was 7:00 am on a Saturday. I was apparently waiting for my friends to spend the day with me as my mom will go on a business trip.
I kept thinking about the new school year starting in two weeks. Is Parker still going to use me as one of his punching bags or is he going to leave me alone?
Don't judge me just yet.I am no push over and believe me I tried to tell my teachers; they thought I was an attention seeker. I know what you're thinking ... Why don't you tell your mum?
Well, after my dad died from a horrible car accident four years ago, we were all crushed. Something within my relationship with my mum changed and since then it was never the same. You'd think it'd bring us closer ,but what happened was the complete opposite.
She became a workaholic, rarely coming home . I really miss my mum; How we were before losing dad...Dad: he was my light,my protector and my only source of happiness.
The doorbell rang and cut out my thoughts and vanishing my once forming sad smile. Mum opened the door and greeted them. Two tall muscular seventeen years old boys swaggered through the kitchen's door frame came at me with boyish smiles. I've missed these losers.
"Jess..here you are!" Cheered Mason crushing me with his familiar tight hugs. I grinned "Hey"
"Heyoo,how was your vacation?" asked Grayson casually hugging me.
"Meh..." I murmured "wasn't much, how about yours?"I asked fiddling with the the holes of my fuzzy socks.
They seated themselves at the counter and we kept chatting about random stuff until it was 9:00am.
"Nah,sloths are way cooler than turtles man, right Jess?" Mason waited with his dark brown eyes looking at me with a serious look on his adorable face expecting an answer "Jess?"
"Huh?" startled I snapped out of it "Yeah, definitely sloths." I quickly answered.
Mason squinted his eyes at me while Grayson added"She doesn't care Mason , look I'm a bit bored; let's go to the beach, alright?"
We both nodded and I grabbed my swimsuit, sundress, slippers, sunglasses and my bag. A car horn was heard and I hurried to our front door and locked it since mum left right after they came.
Grayson's black Mercedes was parked in my drive way. I sat at the back because Mason took my usual seat. He then looked at me with a wide grin while relaxing more in MY seat. "In my defense I called shotgun while you were upstairs"
I just rolled my eyes and gazed out of the car window as the car was moving. It was really a spectacular day in Venice, California. Grayson played Victorious by Panic!at the disco and I immediately started singing along excitedly.
The drive was not that long till we reached the beach with music bursting out of the car. "Guys,I'm starving" I whined dramatically .
"Alright I'll go find our perfect spot and you go buy us some delicious hotdogs" suggested Mason practically drooling all over the place.
We got out of the car and I lowkey ran to get us hotdogs. "That much hungry?" chuckled Grayson showing his pearly whites. "Hey, I didn't have breakfast" I answered defensively .
A glint of worry flashed in his ocean blue eyes and his smile faded" Are you back at starving yourself?"
"No," I blurted feeling uneasy " let's go find Mason and his'perfect spot'" I said fake smiling but he was unconvinced. Please drop it Gray.
When I walked past him, he suddenly held my arm and kept me in place now his eyes angry "Jess,you know how much I care about you...this has to stop."
"Grayson, I told you I didn't do it again." I fought back. He was about to say something else, but he chose to let it go. Thank God! Then we walked on the warm sand scanning the place for the blonde boy.
Mason was laying on his stomach with our stuff beside him."Give me my hotdog." he muttered lazily.
We spend almost half an hour chilling under the snugly summery sun. I was thirsty so I excused myself to get a fresh drink. Sadness: it dawned on me as I saw a father playing with his daughter...they looked so happy. That could have been me.
Ironically, a nearby bar played Sumer Time Sadness. Wow just wow.
Out of nowhere I bumped into a hard wall. Gosh, watch your step dumbass.
"Are you okay?" I froze;the wall talked? I mean I didn't hit my head that hard.lifting my head I gasped when my eyes were locked with two mesmerizing blue eyes. They were the bluest eyes I have ever seen, it was crazy.
"Uh-uhh..yes I-I'm fine" I stuttered as he smirked showing breathtaking dimples. He was wearing a white t-shirt defining his lean muscular chest and drool-worthy abs with some dark green shorts. I'd let him do anything he wanted to do to me.
'Jess!what are you doing?Stop ogling the guy' I scolded myself.
He seemed to be doing the same as his eyes were roaming my average-looking body. I wrapped my arms around myself uncomfortable. "That's good," his deep voice spoke "Malik." extending his hand smiling a million dollar smile.
