Ten Year Secret

Ten Years Later

Summer POV

We ran through the shallow water which was crystal blue; we were on a beach all alone; just me and Chase. My dark brown hair and his light brown hair blew in the wind as we ran through the water. Then we stopped and he picked me up and swung me around. Then put me down. We laughed as he played with my hair. He leaned in just like a kiss but he suddenly stopped and turned his body away from me and then a woman with long black hair that hung to her waist, she wore a black leather suit with stiletto boots. She had coal black eyes and smirked at me. Chase stood in front of me protectively.

“Keep away from him,” said the lady.

I looked at Chase but then I realized that it wasn’t Chase; it was Nixon! I woke up and gasped. I sat upright in my bed and looked around confused. I have had that dream ever since I met they boys but on different nights; Shane and the other boys were in it but tonight was the first time that woman was in it and Nixon. It had been ten years since I met the boys but I felt like it was only yesterday that I did.

I looked at my clock which was the left side of my bed; it was 2am on a Friday morning. I sighed and lay back against my pillow. I wasn’t gonna get back to sleep so I got up and cleaned my room. I waddled around in an oversized t-shirt and little black shorts trying to find a light. I tripped over a pair of shoes then found the light. I turned around and looked at my room. It looked like a pig-sty; it was the messiest room in the house. My clothes were all over the ground and shoes. My queen-sized bed was against my left wall with bedside tables holding my clock and a lamp. On the other side it held a photo of me and the boys and one of me and my mum. I had a walk in robe that held all my shoes and clothes and everything else that I owned. I had a porch that had a rocking chair, a beach chair and table. I sighed and bent down to pick up my chux and put them in my robe. I sighed as I looked around my room and then I began cleaning.

5 hours later I was sitting on my bed looking at my clean room.

“Wow, my room is finally clean,” I muttered.

I looked at my clock and it was 7am.

“Time to get up…” I murmured.

I went to my walk in robe and grabbed my black chux with my cargo pants and a blue long sleeved shirt. I had a shower then got dressed. I let my dark brown hair fall across my shoulders and watched my green eyes. I sighed and went downstairs. My brother; James sat on the yellow couch with his feet on the coffee table. He looked up as I passed through the lounge.

“Wow, you look tired…” he said.

“Couldn’t sleep. Where’s dad by the way?” I asked.

“At Kelly’s,” he said.

“Oh,” was all I said and then I walked out of the room.

Kelly was dad’s girlfriend. She had long wavy black hair that hung to her hips and she had brown eyes. I had hated her for the past few years because she treated me like a maid whenever it was just me and her. She treated my dad, James and her twin daughters like royalty except me. Apparently she hated me because my dad spoiled me. My dad had bought me a car and gave me the master bedroom because I was the only girl in the family.
