Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 1

"We're friends." Cody confirmed. "But will it stay that way?" "Of course, she's happy and so am I." "Do you still see her?" "Yes. Our parents are best friends so no matter how hard we try we can't avoid each other." I scoffed at that statement. "You mean I can't avoid you?" I spoke to the TV and changed the channel.

"Hey! I was watching that." Lilly moaned. "Go watch it downstairs then." I didn't break my stare from the TV screen. "Why does Cody talk to Ellen about you guys but not to me?" "Get out, Lil." I looked at her and then back to the screen. "Just saying." She shrugged. "Lilly!" I got annoyed. "I'm going." She rolled off the bed and went for the door.

"Can you make me some lunch?" She asked me as she approached the door. "Make it yourself." "You're supposed to be baby sitting me, remember?" "You're not a baby, you're seven. Go make yourself a sandwich." I dismissed.

"You've changed." She mumbled and lowered her head as she left the room. I sighed before turning off the television and following her. "Want some fries?" I asked as I put some shoes on. "Yes!" She grinned and ran off to get a jacket. I laughed at her enthusiasm.

Once we got to the beach we went into the small cafe on the peer, Lilly sat down and looked through her menu with a massive grin on her face. "You don't have to look so happy. It's not like we keep you locked up in that house all day." I chuckled lightly. "I was remembering something." She said with that same smile.

"What's that then?" I placed my menu down to look at her, Lilly did the same. "Cody used to take us here. And that one time we ate our fries on the beach and played in the ocean and you told me to splash him." Her eyes sparkled as she reminisced.

"I remember." I smiled slightly. "One day he said he would bring me here with him. But he never did." I watched as her adorable smile faded. "I'm sure he'll do it one day. He probably forgot. Cody likes to forget promises." I looked down at my finger where my promise ring used to sit. "Cody never forgets!" She defended him.

"No, never. What am I on about?" I forced a smile. "Why you say it like that?" She cutely tilted her head. "One day when you're big enough I'll explain what happened between Cody and I." "How big?" She grew interested. "Big enough to accept that Cody isn't perfect." I smiled at my answer and went back to reading my menu.

Lilly struggled to read the world "Strawberry" I smiled at her while she did it and then I gave in. "Strawberry, Lil." "What does the next world say?" "Break it down." "M-Milk.. S-Sh-Shake.. Milkshake!" She looked up at me, pleased with her efforts. "You want a strawberry milkshake?" "Chocolate one." She said, I nodded.

"And what food?" "Fries." She answered as if I was stupid. I laughed and then ordered our food. We ate it and then walked home. When we got home still no one was in. I sighed and plopped onto the couch. "What now?" I asked. "We go to see Alli." Lilly grinned. "You mean, "let's go to Alli's because I know Cody's the only one there"?" I guessed, Lilly responded with a grin and a nod.

"Nice try, princess." I laughed at her. "But maybe if you see each other you can talk and sort everything out and then we can see him all the time again?" She innocently suggested. "Lilly, you've been saying that for the last two months." "No, cause this time you can be all alone." "You'll be there." "I'll play outside." "No."

She huffed and sat on the floor, sulking. I let out a laugh and then turned on the TV. There was a knock at the door. "I bet that's Cody." She lit up, I giggled and went to answer the door.

"Told you it was him." I heard Lilly behind me as I opened the door to reveal Cody. "Aye, there's my favorite little girl!" He opened his arms and crouched down. Lilly ran over and he picked her up while walking into the house. "Please, come in." I mumbled sarcastically. "What do you want?" I asked Cody. He placed Lilly on the ground, she looked up at him in admiration while I awaited his answer.
