Summer Love

Anna´s Point Of View:

The best day in my whole life was here, my fucking 18th birthday. This day was going to be so amazing, cant wait until tonight for my “surprise” party, the party my best friend in the whole world Isabella (Bella) Reed was planning for me. The thing is that she doesn’t know that I know about it but the other day in school (Eleanor Roosevelt High School and it was last day before summer break) I overheard her talking to Olivia and Zara about how she is planning a surprise party for me and invited them. So I guess I have to work on my “surprised “ look because I don’t want Isabella to become sad after all the hard work she has put into my surprise party. Just when I was about to look in my walk in closet for something to wear tonight when I heard my ringtone.

“Hello “ I said

“Happy birthday Anna Penelope Smith I just called to say that I´m on my way to pick up your brother from the airport”

“Thank you mum! Okay, I´ll see you when you get home”

My mother Mary Penelope Smith is the most beautiful and kindhearted mother in the whole world, she is like my best friend. We haven´t always been so close but when my father died in cancer 3 years ago we became close because of the grief. Everyone, our friends and the entire population of London loved my father, Rob Smith, the police chief. London was the place we lived before we moved to Manhattan cause my mum got a new job here. She is Manhattans most famous stylist and she has here on fashion magazine called “The fashion of Smith”.  I really loved that she was a fashion stylist cause I´ll always got the newest dresses and other clothes before anyone else.

“ Come Anna! You have too hurry up cause we got to go soon” Bella yelled at me through the bathroom door.

“ I don’t see why I have to hurry when we just going to your place! It not like where going to a party or something, right?” I said

“Uhh, noooooww why should we go to a party!? I just don´t want to be late cause were meeting Olivia and Zara at the first “she said.

“Okay, well I’m done”

“Hey birthday girl, happy birthday! I can´t wait any longer so I´ll just give you your present now, it´s from all tree of us” Zara said with the happiest voice I´ve ever heard.

“OMG! Are you kidding me or what!?!? I can´t believe I have tickets to the amazing JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE! I love you guys” I said while tears fell down my cheeks.

“ We´re glad you liked it so much! We love you to honey” Olivia said. On our way to Bella all I could think off was how amazing friends I have and how much I love them. This day was seriously the best and amazing day of my life even better than summer camp last year.

“SUUURRPPRIIIESS!” Everyone yelled when I stepped through the door.

“Wow guys!” I said surprised or at least I tried to.

When I was on my to the bar for taking something to drink I saw Bella standing at the punch table and just poured in the punch, I´ll guess she wanted to get really drunk. You see, Bella has not dared to drink and party for over a year because, the last time we were at a party something really bad happened to Bella. I had gone home earlier from the party than Bella because I was not feeling good so Bella stayed a bit longer and it was when she was on her way home it happened, she got raped. The first few months after she dared not go to school, she hardly dared to do anything and I understand her. But last week she told me that she really was ready to do funny things again so I´ll guess the drink was what she meant by funny things.

“Having a good time birthday girl?”

“ Yes! A really good time!”

“Zara? Do you think we should take away the punch from Bella?”

“No, I'll say we let her drink cause I think this is her way to deal with the pain she has left. Now come dance with me, I´ll no you love this song. Everyone loves a song by Avicii” she and dragged me to the dance floor.”

After a few dances, I had to sit down because I’m not used to dance this much and my feet did really hurt. In the same moment when I was about to sit down, I saw something. I saw someone come through the door, a someone that I recognized. It was he, the boy from summer camp, the boy with the beautiful green eyes, the perfect body and the curly brown hair. It was he, Harry Edward Styles.
