Summer of Syn

May

Willow's P.O.V.

The summer of 1999 was the best and worst summer of my life. I'm going to start with the good before the bad. I had the best friends a girl could ask for. My older brother, my best friend since childhood Elektra, Brian, Jimmy, Matt, Johnny and Zacky. Brian was my older brothers best friend but it didn't stop me from stealing looks. Brian was really attractive and nice. He always seemed to ask about me more than a normal guy would. I was only 17 when Brian and the rest of the boys graduated. Tori was a year ahead of me and so were the boys so it was the summer of my senior year.

May 1999

Huntington Beach was like no other place in the world. Brian, Matt, Jimmy, and Zacky were participating at battle of the bands with another guy they graduated with. He wasn't very dependable but they needed a bassist. Elektra and I had just left school and went to my house. Since my dad wasn't there Tori, Jimmy, Matt, Brian, and Zacky were at the house. They practiced non stop, literally. I guess Tori just hung around the boys instead of playing with them. I never really hung around them until they had their graduation party at the beach. Elektra and I were invited only cause Zacky had a thing for her. I'd always catch him staring at her when we had class together. Once we got to the bonfire the boys were pretty drunk. Jimmy was terrorizing people while Brian just sat back and laughed with Tori. I sat down beside Matt, "hey little sister, want a beer?" I looked at Tori who shrugged, "I don't care. We're all going back to the house anyway. Oh and mom called me today. She said she was going to fly us to Seattle before you go back to school." I nodded, "good. My summer will be spent surfing." Matt handed Elektra and I solo cups. As the night went on more people showed up. I went to the water to get some space as Electra ditched me sometime ago. I was pretty drunk so I decided to sit on the rock. "Hey Luu," Brian said as he sat beside me on the rock. "Your pretty drunk there aren't you Haner?" Brian shrugged smirking, "drunk enough to come talk to you Miller." I shrugged taking a gulp from my cup. "Touché Haner," I said after I swallowed. "Hey, call me Brian. I'd rather you call me that all summer than Haner." I nodded blushing, good thing it was dark outside. "Will do," I said as a wave crashed the beach. He nudged me, "will do??" I rolled my eyes, "Brian." He smiled, "better. You know... I d-" Brian was interrupted by Jimmy yelling and running towards the water. "FINALLY GRADUATED! LETS TAKE A ROUND OF SHOTS! BRIAN GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!" Brian sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. I smiled at Brian and pushed him off the rock. "Jimmys calling for you Brian, better go before he gets mad." I giggled as Brian put his hand on the back of his neck. "We'll continue this conversation next time." I nodded as he smiled at me then walked towards Jimmy.

Brian's P.O.V.

Jimmy ended up getting so plastered we crashed at the Millers house. Tori and Willow's parents ended up staying in Seattle over the weekend to see their grandparents. It didn't seem to effect the partying or practicing in anyway. I found myself a comfy place on the couch to get to sleep. Tomorrow we would end up practicing till our fingers bleed. Especially since Matt wanted to make sure we were ready for Battle of the bands in the middle of June. As I closed my eyes and started to drift into dream land I could hear foot steps coming down the stairs. "Dammit, I just want some water." I heard a female voice say. I sat up a bit then leaned over the couch to see. Willow was walking down the stairs in a tshirt and panties. I laid back down quickly and covered my head. I could hear a door open and close before I heard footsteps go back up the stairs. I took deep breaths as I drifted to sleep.
