The Summer After Last

chapter 6: Abby's going to go mental

the next day luke was still mad.

he waited till Jackson left the house before he came down for breakfast, and then he wouldn't speak to me.

"you and Jackson need to apologise," Blake says turning to me after Luke left.

"what! he's the one who needs to apologise!"

"you both do really'

ok, I'm getting mad now.

"he can't control me I can do whatever I want with whoever I want it's not his decision to make its mine"

" I know but he's your brother Liv he cares about you when we couldn't find you he was really worried you at least owe him an apology for freaking him out!"

crap he has a point. but I'm still mad, and I don't know how this next thing happens but it does.

I kiss him.

I catch him by surprise at first. I mean you don't really expect someone to kiss you when your in the middle of an argument but to my surprise, he kisses me back. he pulls away after a moment and smiles at me before saying words I thought would never come out of his mouth.

"liv will you go out with me?"

"yes!" I say and my grin could light up the sky.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that afternoon I managed to convince Jackson to apologise with me. and I have to admit this house was much more enjoyable now that people were talking to each other.

Blake was taking me on our date tonight two but we were planning to sneak out, we still hadn't told Luke or Jackson yet.

I called Abby to tell her and listened to her fangirl for 10 minutes straight. I could seriously barely get a word in. she would have kept on talking if I hadn't had to go to get ready.

I put on one of my favourite summer outfits.

I wore a floaty peach top with my denim shorts and my grey kimono.I did my makeup and put on my converse. before going downstairs.

as soon as I walked into the room luke immediately piped up "where are you going" I roll my eyes protective much.

"out with Abby" the lie slips off my tongue surprisingly easy he nods and walks into the living room probably to watch Tv.

"you look amazing" I swirl around to see Blake standing leaning against the stair rail. he's wearing the shirt I gave him for Christmas with dark blue shorts.

"not too bad yourself'

he smiles and grabs my hand to lead to his car out front, we hop in and he starts to drive. we reach our destination in no time. the boat dock. he comes around and opens my door for me and I step out smiling. I follow him over to a small boat and we jump in.

he starts the boat and we drive out.

the wind whips my hair back as the boat picks up speed and we race over the calm sea.

we eventually reach a small bay. Blake anchors in the shallows and hops out. the water is only halfway up my calf but Blake insists on picking me up and carrying me to shore. I giggle when he puts me down.

I GIGGLE. when the heck do I giggle???!!!

he lays down a towel on the beach and we sit down. the sun is setting on the horizon across from us and the sea glimmers in the colours. he drapes his arm around me and I lay my head on his shoulder. it's perfect. the perfect beach, the perfect sunset and the perfect guy.
