Puppy Love

For a week Nathan kept his distance. Everyone stayed up at the farm. Brooks took me pigging with his dad and him, That was an experience and a half it was epic, Madison and I painted nails and Hayley came over and so did Dustin, they were so cute together, and we did more stock practice on Denny. It was the best week so far. I also got a call from my mum just asking me how I was, she sounded a little under the weather and she said she loved me way to much, I nearly yelled at her to shut up, but it was nice to hear that from her.

I rolled over in bed and crushed into Brooks. Every now and then he would come and sleep in my room. His parents were fine with it because they respected me and trusted me not to let things get to far. To say that was awkward conversation was and understatement.

"Wake up sleepy head," I said rocking his head back and forth, "We get to go into town for the music festival today!! and I'm busking!" I said my voice getting higher towards the end of my sentence.
All I got was a groan in response. I rolled my eyes and rolled over the top of him, squishing him in the process. I let out a little giggle.

I ran to my chest of draws and pulled out a pair of cut of short and a McAlister Kemp shirt that said Harder to Tame and ran to the bath room to change since lazy bones was in my bedroom.

We were to leave the house around 7 to get a full day in and we were staying for the free concert in the park which went to almost Midnight and Lee Kernaghan was playing. I was so exited. After refreshing my self and getting dressed I walked back into my bedroom to see Brooks still asleep. Being the person that I am I ran and jumped onto the bed narrowly missing Brooks head.
"Wake up sleepy head! we leave in 10 minuets," I screamed as Brooks groggily woke up.
All of a sudden my feet were swept out from underneath me. A small gasp escaped my lips as Brooks pulled me down. His lips were on mine.
"Mmm,"I said into the kiss before breaking away, "get up."
The look on his face was priceless.
"Fine," he groaned.
With a smug smile apon my face I went to grab my guitar. I ventured outside in the warm morning and put my guitar in the tray of the ute. Brooks came out a few minutes later with Joe, wearing a collared t-shirt and wranglers with a trucky cap on.
"Ready to hit the road?" asked Uncle Joe.
I was bouncing like a bean so excited to be busking at the tamworth music festival, all the country music artists that I will get to meet.
"I'm ready."

It was 8 by the time we got to town and I swear it was already 35 degrees. I locked my guitar in the cab of the ute while we wondered. My time slot wasn't until 3. We wandered for ages and I met Amber Lawrence and Sophie and Celeste Clabburn. Ah this was amazing.
We had lost Joe way back and it was just Brooks and I. We stopped for lunch and got hot chips then we went to find a place to sit.
We sat and watch the busy people rushing about, well at least I was. When I turned to look at Brooks I found him already staring.
"What?" I asked rubbing my face to see if any food was smeared.
"Just the most beautifulest thing that ever entered my life," he said still staring.
I just blushed looking away.
"Look Audrey I know we are young but I think I'm in love with you."
I just sat there in shock, he..he..he he loves me? "yo-yo-you Lo-ove me?"I asked. Wow Audrey smooth. Brooks nodded. Then I though about it. I had never experienced Love before but I'm pretty sure this is what it feels like. I mean I'm only 14, maybe its just puppy love maybe it isn't but I don't care, "I love you too." Then he kissed me. Unlike all the other kisses, it held passion, love and so many emotions wrapped up into a single moment, a single kiss, it was breath taking. I said it again, "I love you," I said it again and then over again till I felt the need to stop. And we returned every one with a kiss, only a peck but still it was amazing.
How could life get any better? I wish life would just pause for a second and I could take a photo, capture this perfect moment.
Eventually we had to keep moving. I had to set up my area. We walked back to the ute after I texted Joe to meet us back here. We walked hand in hand.
Joe came and unlock the ute and we walked over to where I would set up. I looked at my watch 2:55. So close. I unclipped my guitar case and pulled out my old battered guitar and positioned the case in front of me. At exactly 3 o'clock I played my first chords and this song I dedicated to Brooks.
"Coconut oil and a can off lemonade and radio in the sand,
Listen to the sound of the boys of summer and he's gonna be my man,
I smell honeysuckle I'm gonna fall in love this summer."

I payed and I played till my voice ran out, lots of love songs some songs about the land, all country of course. I looked down at my case and saw the bottom was full of coins and the odd note. My heart warmed. I even signed a few hats and such, it was such an amazing experience.
I stopped at 4 and packed up. I looked down at my phone and saw I had 17 miss calls from an unsaved number.
I stopped walking and placed my guitar down. For some reason an unease settled over me and I stopped walking. I don't know why. I unlocked my phone and called back the number.
"Hello?" an older man answered the phone.
"Ah this number called my phone a few times in the past half an hour, I was just calling back to see whats up.''
"Ah yeah Miss Audrey Ison I'm guessing?"
I stayed silent, for some reason I felt like throwing up.
"I have some unfortunate news, its about your mother and her long term suffering with cancer."
I stayed silent i had no idea about the cancer, but I can only guess what came next, I had heard it once before and that was 4 years ago.
"Your mother had passed during the night Im sorry for your loss."
The phone fell, and smashed in to a million pieces and my vision went fuzzy, just before I hit the ground I fet a pare of strong loving arms catch me.
Then it went black.
