Only Her

Chapter 21

*what happend before*

"So, there will be a party in two days, Friday."
"Oh?" Melissa gave me a confused look.
"Melly, a welcomings party." I said.
"Cool!" Emi said.
"Then we can meet your friends." Kaat stated.
I smiled, "it's gonne be a great day. Maybe even better than today."

Or not.

After the night talking we all decided on going to bed early, since it was a long day for them all.
The day was perfect, my friends were here, they already had met Cameron. They had been unpacking this morning a part of it already. They seemed excited about meeting the others, but I guess they where also a little nervous, but I understand. You don't know anybody here, except a few people, well, err, me. And also Krissy a little. But they seemed to get along with Cameron very well, they talked like they where long lost friends. They had been joking around, talking about random things I all did back then in Belgium, I became a bright red tomato. But anyways. It was a beautiful sight to see. It made me smile even bigger. My friends were here, happy. There was a party coming up, my dad was coming home soon. I was finally living the dream I wanted to. Hanging with my friends till I'd get tired of looking and their faces. And still had to look at them. Now there was always someone around, Andre was right. You were never alone, but when you wanted to, you could. Even that night we all jumped in the pool, we laughed and I almost chocked because of all the water. But it was worth it a 100%. I felt great, my world lit up, and that only because my friends where here for one day. Even less than one day.
That afternoon we all sat in the couch, Emi sat on the floor with a pillow on her lap, texting her mother she arrived good. Melissa sat on
the other couch with her legs over the side also texting, probably with her mother as well. And Kaat sat next to me, just finished sending her 'I'm alright, don't worry'- messages. She turned to face me, with a wide grin on her face.
"TV?" I asked. And Melissa and Emi looked up, nodding.
"You guys pick what show, I'll get snacks."

Later that day, I was sitting at the table in the living room. I was filling in the papers, to get the drinks, snacks, tables. I asked to get some high garden tables. So the guests could put there drinks on it. But I was worried, what if the music sucked? What if the we ran out of drinks? It's summer so it's hot, so we need enough. What if the snacks tasted like paper? God I need to shake off those thoughts. As long as my family and friends are there, I'm happy. And the rest will come by itself.
I breathed in and out and filled in the paper.
The others were upstairs, finishing with unpacking their bags, putting clothes on the shelfs, making their beds, etc.
When I was done I fold the papers and got up from my seat, I walked to the couch and jumped on it my face laying on the fluffy pillow.
"Well hello." I heard Melissa.
"Muhh." I mumbled still on the pillow.
She laughed and I heard the others come off the stairs. I rolled on my back and saw them all dressed up. I raised an eyebrow, "where are you guys going?" I asked.
"Looking for jobs." They all said.
"What?"
"We want to go look now." Kaat stared. "Because it's spring." Melly added, "so we want to hurry." Emi finished.
"Oh." Was the only thing I let out. "Alright."
"Don't mind?"
I shook my head and was already pushing them to the door. "No!"
They laughed, "sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
They looked at me be sure I wasn't kidding. When they realised I was a 100% sure. They smiled and made there way deeper in the city.
I watched them walk away for a couple of seconds before closing the door. I walked back in and opened the glass door, to let Blake in. He has been walking around so nervous, because he saw all the people. And he knew them already so he even got more excited. He barked a few times last night. But he stopped once he saw it was useless. I cupped him in my arms. As long as I can cuddle this little rat, I will before he turns into a large polar bear.
I threw him in the couch and he landed on one of the pillows and sneezed. I let out a chuckle and got a text.
Dad: just got on plane:) I'll be there in less than 8hours! I laughed, he has to sit an entire time on the plane, and then he needs to get here with a taxi. Because I'll be sleeping by then. Me: Be safe! :)
I layed next to Blake and played with his ears, I was half watching TV, not really paying attention. I was rather bored. As usual. My phone vibrated again.
Dad: I promise!
I smiled and sat up again. It wasn't that late, it was around 2:30 pm.
Me: I'm going for a walk with Blake now:) Ttyl.
I locked my phone and took my backbag. I took his leash and put it around his body. I put him in my car to go to the beach. I'm not going to walk to the beach and be tired to only turn back around. Hell no. Smart I know, lazy, I also know that. But I think the dog doesn't matter. He can put his head out of the window. Win win situation. Again, smart I know.
Once we were on the beach I let Blake run around freely. Of course he'd run infront of me and try to go in the sea, but he'll be scared again and jump away, spin around and back in. And after 10 times he will finally realize it isn't scary, and it's save. I took out my headphones and played some music. The weather felt nice. It where the first weeks of July, the sun was shining. And I was only wearing a jeans short and a white muscle tee.
I saw a group of people play volleyball. And another group of people playing in the water. Everyone was coming more and more to the beach, starting to enjoy the weather. But since I'm from Belgium and it's rather cold there, I'd come here already once you can see the sun. Halfway on the beach, I sat down in the warm sand and watched Blake jump around. And some little kids getting closer to Blake and petting him. I layed myself down and crossed my legs. Not long after that, I felt Blake lick my face. I laughed and pushed the little fur ball away.
