A/N I'm terrible at writing. i do it because i enjoy it. This story is also dedicated to my friends Aubrey, Caymen (i_heart_tigger), Ariana, Leah and Jojo.
"My name is Aubrey and this is my story. Mine, and my friend's. My story starts here, with me. Now 87 and on my last legs. But I remember a time where things were new. When my hair was brown, not ashen gray. When I could run free and spend my life how I chose. When my true love was still with me. My life was more complicated back then, but without those experiences I probably would not be here today. These experiences shaped who I am and who i met, like my loving husband Niall. Niall had the most crystal blue eyes and dirty blond hair. We were perfect for each other. He loved me more than any person ever did, including my parents. We met at the beach one day and it was love at first sight. I was with my friends and he was with his. We soon found out everyone had a perfect match. I remember our love life clearly, as if it was just yesterday..."
" Aubrey! We're leaving, hurry your ass up!" Caymen screeches up the stairs. Caymen looks like she is right outta' California. She has light brown hair that is always perfectly done, no matter what she does with it. She loves life for what it is and always loves everyone for who they are. To me she was perfect. Had a perfect life, perfect friends, perfect family. And even though she was "perfect" she understood how each of us felt and what our boundaries were. She is also the "innocent" one. Although, we have poisoned her mind a little.
"I'll be down in a minute!" I yell back. I rush, putting my concealer on. Layers and layers to hide the scars, but just enough so that I don't look fake. I run down the stairs to see them walking out the door. I slip my shoes on and grab my purse and we are gone.
When we get to the beach we unload the mini van and head for our usual spot, only to find it taken. So we just plop our stuff right next to theirs. We set up and run for the volleyball net, only to find it taken as well. One of the boys playing notices us and motions over to the others. He has the most beautiful Irish accent and we lock eyes constantly as he talks.
"Would you care to join us?" Another boy says. He had brown hair and blue gray eyes. He has a red, pin stripe, short sleeved shirt on, with suspenders and khaki shorts. I can see Caymen staring at him. When he looks at her she turns away quickly and looks at the ground. She kicks some sand towards me, smiling.
"Yes. Yes we would." Ariana says playfully walking over to the now empty side of the court. Ariana is very full of life, but is soft spoken. She hides a dark past but now, more than ever, she is starting to burst at the seams, tired of hiding her past for so long.
"Well, are you guys gonna come or just stand there?" We all shuffle over and take our places. We are ready. Suspender boy serves and we get a few good volleys in until a boy with the curliest hair "attempts" to dive for it but epically fails and face plants. We all laugh hysterically except for Jojo, who rund to see if he is OK. She crouches by him and helps him up and as soon as their eyes make contact they are frozen. She's lost in his beautiful green eyes. When she comes back to earth we are still laughing hysterically and we weren't going to be able to finish the game. We all walk together back to our blanket only to find out that they were the ones that took our spot. We sit down, have lunch and introduce ourselves. Suspenders boy is called Louis. Curly top is Harry and the Irish boy is Niall.
We quickly changed into our suits and ran down to the water with our towels after lunch. Leah, who has very brown hair and chocolate brown eyes is a spontaneous ball of fun even though she is very soft spoken she immediately notices Zayn. Zayn is the "bad boy" of the group and has several tattoos on his body. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes, just like Leah. He seems to like her too beacuse he suggests a chicken fight. This can be awkward depending on who your with. "What is a chicken fight?" Ariana asks cautiously. Liam a boy who has been checking out Ariana all day walks over to her and the rest of the group and describes it.
"Its where like you would sit on my shoulders and Leah on Zayn's and you would try to push Leah over. So like you are the arms and im the legs." We all nod and everyone involuntarily goes with the boy they like. Me and Niall just stand there awkwardly until every one has their partner. Then he looks at me and his face gets pink. It made me smile. He walked over to me.
"Fancy seeing you here." he said as he took my hand. i felt a zap as goosebumps began to form on my arms. "On three." he said turning around "One...Two...Three!" he said and took a deep breath and going under. I jumped up onto his shoulders and i felt him grab my legs as he came up making sure i didn't fall. i held on to his head for dear life. Not wanting to fall. When everyone was secure Zayn screamed go and we were off. Jojo was the first off then Caymen followed by Ariana then Leah. "We won!!!" screamed Niall excitedly as he went under and gently lifted me off of him and set me on the soft ocean floor. He held me there for a moment staring at me and I blushed witch made him smile.
"Break it up lovebirds" Screamed Harry. Obviously holding Jojo's hand under the water.
"Lets get ice cream " Yelled Louis and we all ran out of the water as fast as we could and as everyone else stopped to dry off me and Niall just kept running. We stopped at the blanked to get money and he stopped me when i reached for my purse. I looked at him quizzically. He just smiled and said,
"I got it." I smiled and said thank you as we started for the concession stands. We drifted closer and closer as we made our way there and all of a sudden i felt him grab my hand. I felt like i know him already we got to the stand and we ordered, Niall got chocolate and I got Dulce de Leche. We walked back to the blanket just as everyone was heading to the concession stand. As we stared at the ocean, eating our ice cream he held me close and i could smell the Armani Mania on him. It was intoxicating. When the others came back no one said a word we all sat huddled against each other watching the waves. After bout an hour Louis piped up.
"We should got to a movie!" we were all tired so in unison we said no. "What about at our house?" he said slyly and we all looked at him. Louis just invited five girls to his house. At night. Things were about to get bad and by bad i mean good.... ;)
A/N I know it seems sudden and like i said i'm terrible at writing and i didn't know how to lead into it slowly yet not draw it out. Next chapter is mainly dedicated to Leah!! I will be switching POVs often to be more detailed
