Best friends should never leave

Chapter 4

"Summer can you come in here please."

"Sure."

"Darling can you just go check on Couper and tell him lunch is ready."

"Yep sure what is lunch by the way?"

"Pizza."

"Ok I'll be back soon."

Summer walked out the back door and down the the creek. She looked up and down the creek but couldn't see Couper. She walked along the creek bed to where their meeting spot is. When she got there she saw that the rope swing wasn't there it had been cut or something. That rope was to strong to just snap. She climbed the ladder to the cubby house Coupers dad had built them just before he died. She looked around he cubby to see if he was there but there was no sign of him and she started to get worried. She saw a note. It was in Coupers writing.

'Summer I should have told you this earlier but there was never a time where I felt right saying it I never knew if you felt the same way.

Summer May James I love you.

Please forgive me for doing this.'

Sara's P.O.V.

Summer ran down the stairs all most falling and hid behind the island bench where I was working.

"Slap?" I asked half knowingly.

"Summer James you are going down!"

"Yep." I answered my own question.

Summer waited as quite as she could.

"Mum where is that little devil I could kill her right now?"

"Haven't seen her since she came in." I lied to save Summer

"I really hate her." He said seriously but in five minutes it would all be a joke.

"Come on honey we both know we love her in that way." I said forgetting that Summer was there.

"Mum she could hear that."

"Honey just tell her the truth."

"Later." He said running up stairs.

Summer stood up "Is that true he loves me."

I coved her mouth in surprise. "Oh honey I forgot you were there don't say a word about that."

"It's ok Sara I won't."

"Mum I can't find her." Couper yelled from up stairs.

Summer ran around to the back door and hid behind the curtains that went from the roof of the second floor to the floor in the ground floor lounge room. (We have a split level for the first floor. If you don't know what split level means it's where the floor above is split so you can see the bottom level.)

I couldn't help but laugh a little when I saw them acting like this.

Couper walked down the stairs and into the lounge room.

"Oh I have you now Summer."

He ripped back the curtain and I heard the thump as he tackled her to the ground he sat there on top of her and held her wrists down.

"Have you learnt you lesson?" He asked teasingly.

"Nope." She said quickly.

Couper walked into the kitchen. He sat down at the island bench and held his head in his hands. Summer stood up and didn't quite know what to do so she walked over to the bean bag wall and sat down.

"Honey what did you do it seams awkward now you haven't done you chasing yet?" I asked knowing that that wasn't the end of their game.

"I kissed her." He responded.

"Really that's great isn't it?"

"I don't know."

The room went silent. "I'm going down the the creek." Couper walked out the back door and down to the creek at the back of the yard.

"Alright darling." I yelled back to him.

I finished making lunch and let them chill for a bit while I served it up.

"Summer can you come in here please."

"Sure."

"Darling can you just go check on Couper and tell him lunch is ready."

"Yep sure what is lunch by the way?"

"Pizza."

"Ok I'll be back soon."

Summer walked out the back door and down the the creek. I walked over to the table in the dining room with Couper and Summer lunch two slices of their favourite pizzas. I walked back into the kitchen and grabbed the rest of the pizzas knowing that they would want more. I grabbed the tray with Pepsi max on it and three glasses, walked back into the dining room and placed them down. I finally brought my pizza in and sat down and poured myself a drink. I was just about to take a bite of my pizza when I heard a scream. It was Summer. I dropped everything and ran.
