The not so bad boy

19: next day

Summers pov:

It wasn't the morning anymore but let's just say it was too early to be awake and I had a massive hangover too.

I had to get up and go to my little brothers soccer game.

It was his first year playing and dad had this crazy idea that since I've never been good at anything and that we're wasting time in Nicks childhood so he's throwing my brother into a bunch of clubs he doesn't want to do but at least he's trying to come to his games as much as possible, today being one of them.

**Flashback**

I was never good at anything. I was always a "quitter," I know my mom didn't care and let me quit things because all she cared about was my happiness but I felt like I was old enough to decide that I just wanted to make her proud of me, Dad too. maybe he would finally come to one of my games if I was good enough. I decided I'd join soccer.

I played 2 games and I was already hating it, I didn't like learning new things.

Before my next game on Saturday, there was an accident.

My mom passed away.

And that's when my soccer career ended.

***end of flashback***

"Summer, why do you smell like drugs?" My dad asked.

I quickly covered my tracks.

"It's this new perfume I got, I guess it smells bad so I'll stop wearing it." I said in an offended tone of voice.

I'm such a bad liar and my dad is so gullible, we're a good team lol.

"Dad, I wanna be here for Nick, but I can't do this right now, ok? it's too hard."

He understood.

I headed for the beach.

The beach was my happy place.

Nobody was around so I began to cry.

"I miss you mom, I know I should be happy for Nick, I am. It just reminds me of you too much and I can't deal with it, if I could deal with it, I would've continued playing and I would be watching Nick right now. I know I'm not good at anything but I'm sorry, I'm not perfect, I just wanted you guys to be proud of me" I sobbed.

"Summer?" I heard Wesley's voice say.

I guess he was here surfing with his friends.

I quickly got up and started walking past him.

He grabbed my arm and spun me around into a hug.

"What's wrong babe?" he asked rubbing my back.

I said between sobs

"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about my mom a lot today, that's all."

"Here, stay here." he said.

He ran to his friends to tell him that he was going to hang out with me.

He linked his arm in mine.

"Shall we?"

"Where are we going?" I asked

"It's a surprise" he laughed, knowing I hate surprises.

We arrived at in & out burger.

"I'll order for us, go find somewhere to sit."

"Okay"

"Okay" he said back on purpose trying to make me smile.

"Stop flirting with me and get me a milkshake" I laughed.
