From The Beginning

Summer is Ours

Chapter 2

Harry’s POV (Second Grade)

    Louis and I have been best friends for like two years now and it has been great. Now it is officially summer which means sleepovers almost every night. Our mums are also best friends so we get to play together all the time. 

    “Come on, let's go swimming.” Louis says excitedly taking off his shirt and jumping into the pool I have in my backyard.

    It’s so nice the closer Louis and I got, the less shy he has got so he is not shy around me at all.

    “Watch out I’m coming in!” I yell laughing while jumping not even bothering to take off my shirt.

    “Oh come on I took my shirt  off, why didn’t you, now I feel weird?” Louis said in between going under the water.

    Yes he is a little sensitive when it comes to… well everything, but it’s okay, I think that it is so cute…. I mean in like a friendship… like he is my lad and yeah let’s just move on…

    “I’m sorry I didn’t think about it.” I said after getting passed my thoughts, but in reality I just don’t like being exposed to others, even my best mate. I just feel so scrawny and I don’t want or need people to see that.

    “I will take care of it.” Louis says laughing as he slowly takes off my shirt and throws it over on the cement by the pool. “See you look great, no need to hide that!” Louis says while smiling cheekily staring at my chest causing my cheeks to heat up.

    “Yeah, whatever let’s just play.” I say while swimming to try and get the attention off my naked chest and stomach.

    We played Marco Polo, mermen, and water basketball. it was a lot of fun.

    ----

    “Boys, I think it’s time to get out and get ready for bed.” My mum said after watching us play in the pool for about two hours or so.

    We got out, put on our pj’s , and then went to my gameroom, where my mum had made up popcorn and a movie ready to go.

    “I made up the bed, so if you guys need anything just call me over.” My mum said leaving the room after shutting the door.

    We enjoyed the movie and slept soundly together in the bed that my mum had made up for us it was a lot of fun.

    ------

    The next morning Louis had to leave early to visit his dad for  a few days. This meant that I’m just here being bored to death being a couch potato.

    As I was complaining in my head about being bored my mom came into the room smiling, “Do you want to make some cakes with me?”

    “Yeah, can we make chocolate, I love that?”nI ask excitedly because I love to bake and I even might want to be a baker when I grow up.

    For the next hour, my mum and I were busy making yummy chocolate cakes and I was telling her how excited I was that it was summer and I can’t wait to spend a lot of time with Louis.

------
    Once the cake was finished baking and it sat out for five minutes, because we couldn’t wait for the whole ten minutes, we put chocolate frosting on them making the cakes look and smell very yummy!! Let me tell you they were very delicious. I just love baking with my mum and eating the cakes so much! 

Louis’ POV

    I have been spending a few days with my dad and it has been pretty fun. We have played baseball, soccer, UK, and just been talking and catching up because I don’t get to see him very often. I love hanging out with him when I can, but I’m ready to go home to my mum and I want to see Harry because I miss them loads. 

    “Well, I’m sad to say that it is time to leave my flat and go back to your mum’s buddy.” My father said patting me on the back. He looked very sad and I hate when people are sad, so I ended up being sad.

    We got into the car and headed back to mum’s. The whole car ride was very silent, well it always is on the days that I go back. I don’t know why he can’t just get back with my mum so we could all be a happy family again.

    “Bye, I love you come back anytime.” My dad said waving as  got out of the car heading to the front door when I turned to wave he was already gone. I can’t say I understand why he should have stayed to make sure I got in safely but he didn't like she never does because he's always so busy which is why I know the statement that I can come over anytime if false and I probably won't see him for a long time. 

    “Hey Loubear did you have fun with your dad?” My mum  asked excitedly as she opened the door. 

    “Yeah, but can I go to Harry's I really miss him?”I asked hugging her. 

    “Actually you can't because he is here to play.” she said pulling away pointing to the little curly lad sitting on the couch with the biggest cheekiest grin.

    I ran to him and we  shared a big long hug. I know that I was only gone for like 4 days, but it felt like forever without my best friend.

    “Let's go play in my room.” I yell excitedly pulling him up the stairs to my bedroom. We played for hours  with my Star Wars action figures, video games, and then we just talked and laughed. I feel like I can tell Harry anything it makes me feel so good. I love having him as my best friend.

    After awhile we started to get tired so we decided to get into my bed to calm down. “So, are you going to be with your mum for the rest of the summer Lou?” Harry asked before I fell asleep.

    “I think so, but I am not totally sure my dad is always pretty busy which means he won’t have a lot of time for me to come over so I bet I will. Which means we will get to hang out a lot so that will be a lot of fun!” I replied excited to get to hang out with my friend but sad that I won’t be seeing my father much.

Before we knew it we were cuddled together with my back to Harry’s chest,  like we would whenever we spent the night together, trying to sleep, I don't know if it was planned for him to sleepover,  but I don't care if it was so much fun!
