Summer Love

Chapter One

Hello, my name is Harper Willis and I am 18 years old. I am currently in my second year of college taking PE, Creative Media and a course that is something to do with presenting/entertaining. I live in a 5 bedroom house in Whitley Bay on the border or Newcaste, with my mam, Katy and my baby newborn (2 months old) baby brother, Fletcher. My dad died when I was 5 fighting in the army. It's hard him not being here but my mam is engaged to a fitness instructor called Justin. They've been together for 11 years and got engaged on Christmas Eve last year. It was so romantic.

I am huge fans of Little Mix and One Direction who I am actually good friends with. I met both of the bands on the X Factor when I do my odd work experiences there. Every December I work there from the very first Monday to the final of the show. It's great being a part of the X Factor cause I meet new people, and alot of celebrities and become good friends with them. I class myself as being very lucky to know alot of highly appreciated people. 

Anyway enough about the X Factor, I have that one best friend who has been my bestfriend for the majority of my life, we have never fell out once, like ever. Her name is Lexie Smith, she is once of the most beautifullest girls on the planet. She is just like me, ive got long brown hair and she has long blonde hair, we both love wearing those big glasses and both weigh the same. The only thing differet about us is that she has brown eyes and I have pure blue.

Well today is the last day of this academic year at college and that means SUMMER HOLIDAYS. I am so happy that it is the summer holidays so i can go to the beach, maybe visit some other towns like London and meet up with some old friends. I was thinking about texting Harry to see if we could meet up one day in the holidays but i'm a bit nervous to get rejected because he is busy or with his family. He probably has forgot about me as we haven't spoken since February which is 5 months ago. 

"Well come on then Harper, some of us want to get home and start our summer holidays." Lexi laughed.

"I do too silly." I laughed. "Let me just say bye to Mr Davidson, he's leaving to New York isn't he." 

"Oh yeah, lets go find him."

It wasn't hard finding him. He was in his office packing his stuff.

"I don't want you to go." I told him as me and my best friend poked our heads around the doorway.

"Oh hello girls. I wish I could stay, but New York is waiting for me, I will be better finacially there, you know that."

"Promise to send letters and stuff." Lexi told him.

"Oh course I will. I wouldn't leave and not send any emails or presents for you all." He giggled.

"Well, I best be off, my plane leaves in 4 hours and i'm not even home yet, I don't want to miss it." He told us as he opened his arms for a group hug.

After we hugged both me and Lexi, we turned around to walk away.

"Hey, Harper. Keep on going with the X Factor work. I am very proud of what you have achieved."

"Awh, thank you sir." I thanked him with a huge smile. "Good luck with New York." I smiled and we continued to walk out of the building.

As the warm summer air hit us we jumped into my car and pulled the roof down and I drove us home. A good thing about Lexi grabbing a lift with me, until she gets her own car, we both live near each other. I live at Whitly Park Barn and she lives at Whitly Morrison Barn which are so close. I can look out of my bedroom window and see her bedroom window. It might sound freaky but it's so cool. Thats how we met. When we were toddlers our mams use to take us to play area's and we use to play together, our mams are bestfriends too.

"I'll text you later Harper, love you chick" She says me leaning in for a hug.

"See you later chicken, love you too muppet." I responde and drive into my driveway. 

Despite her house being so close to mine, I still insist on dropping her off right outside of her driveway, just to be special. 

I walk into my house and don't smell any tea cooking. I check my watch to see if I am late and i've missed tea and it's almost five. 

"Hey." I shout when I enter the house. 

"Hey Harper." My mam and Justin say in unison. "How was your last day?" Justin asks. I really like Justin, he is the perfect father material for Flechter and he is so fatherly too me. He treats me like his own. My mam is so lucky.

"It was good, didn't do anything though. Glad to be home and now it's the holdiays even better. I get a lie in tomorrow, if the little one doesn't wake me up." I joke and both my mam and Justin laugh along with me. "Where is Fletcher anyway?" 

"He's been upstairs asleep for about an hour now, do you want to go get him and bring him down? He needs feeding." My mam asks me.

"Yeah sure, do you want me to feed him?" I ask 

"Yes please darling." My mother gives me a warming smile.

I thought that when my baby brother was born, I would hate having a sibling, but I love it. I love holding him, feeding him and actually changing him. I just love him.
