I walked to my room, I honestly don't know why I was feeling so off today. I guess it's just the regular moods a teenager gets, but I was barely like this. I laid flat on my stomach on my bed and groaned into a pillow.

Maybe I was just tired, but I haven't even done anything today. I figured out one thing that I could do that seems to always calm me down.

I grabbed my guitar off of it's stand and stepped outside, I loved living by the beach. I sat down on the white patio chair and played a couple strings.

"Wake up, we're landing." My brother, James informs me. I rubbed my eyes and finally opened them, the sun was now shining bright.

We - meaning my whole family and I, are now back in Florida. We moved to California for my dad's job contract over there, we were only there for a year. My whole life I've been in Orlando, it's been amazing. No wonder I can never leave this place. Summer vacation kicked in a week ago and I couldn't be happier to be spending it back here.

Once we landed, I grabbed my carry-on from the top storage bunks, with the help of my brothers, of course. I was the only girl in the family other than my mom, I had two brothers. Both are older than me.

"I love Florida" I say to no one in general as we walked out of the airport. I put on my wayfarers as I stepped outside, the sun shone beautifully.

"They're here!" I heard my grandmother's voice exclaim which made my family and I turn around. She was walking up to us, her arms already open and ready for a hug, "I have missed you all." She first hugged my brothers and I, then my parents next.

We were staying at my grandparents' house until we finally got everything ready in our own home, which wasn't so far from my grandparents' house. I loved staying at my grandparents' house, they lived by a beach. The beach was right in front of their house which was very beautiful to see in the morning, I loved waking up to the view every morning. The first thing I did once we got to the house; I went straight to my room. I had my own room in that house, my two brothers had to share one.

I plopped on the white sheets of my bed and let out a sigh. It was already so comfortable. Then I remembered the balcony, I opened the glass doors and stepped outside. The waves were serene and the wind was just right.

Then I heard guitar strings play.

I looked over to my right side to see a boy sat on a white, beach patio chair. He was looking at his guitar and back at the beach in front of him, over and over again. His guitar strumming sounded very serene, like the waves. It gave the beach view a great aesthetic contentment.

My phone vibrated in my jean pocket, I took it out. The phone screen showed my brother's name.

"Hello?"

"All of us except James are going to get groceries. Are you coming?"

"Uh I'll stay. Why didn't you just come up here?"

"I felt too lazy. We're going now." with that said, he hung up. Samuel or Sam, as I call him, was a strange brother but I loved him anyways.

I put my phone back in my pocket and as I turned around, James was facing me through the glass doors which scared the living hell out of me. I screamed and I could hear his laughs.

"You should have seen your face!" James hysterically laughed once I got in and closed the door behind me.

"You're annoying."

I was indulged in my own little world playing the guitar until a girl's voice came out of nowhere. I looked around until I found a girl on the balcony next sideways across from mine, her back was turned to me as I think she was talking to someone on the phone.

I've never seen her before, I have only seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith in that house. She turned around to go back into her room, I'm guessing when she screamed. I didn't get to ask her why or if she's ok since she immediately went in without a word. But only one question went through my mind.

Was she listening to me the whole time?

A/N:

Hello everyone, so I made this chapter short because I just felt like it?? Idk. But the next couple ones will probably be longer.

I'm debating on whether Riley and Connor should have gf's in this, like I'll write about their relationships here and there but mainly focus on Toby's. You guys should tell me what you think if you've read this.

Anyways, if you're reading, thank you so much and I'm sorry if I made some mistakes in my writing. Just tell me and I'll make some changes :) xo
