Summer made us

Chapter 28

Cole's POV

The worst day of my life was almost here. My birthday. Every year I would celebrate my birthday without my parents. It'll just be me and boys partying all night.

But this year is gonna be different. My parents were coming over. I already knew why they were. They want to force me into the company. They don't seem to get the point. I want a normal life, I'll be 18 tomorrow and they want me to be the CEO of their damn company.

Can't they just wait till I'm like 22 or something. Most times I wished I wasn't the only child. Probably my elder brother would be getting the company.

They'll be here today. I do not want to see them but I don't have a choice. I'm thinking of running away and taking Lily with me but I know she wouldn't like that. I wish I told her everything that day but I couldn't just tell her. I didn't want anyone else knowing I had daddy and mommy issues.

The summer would be over in the next two days and I'll be going back home for graduation. I wouldn't see Lily anymore. I wouldn't be leaving immediately though, so Lily would leave first, she'll go back to a place where I no longer exist.

The thought of her being with someone else made my heart clench but there was nothing I could do. Even if I did tell her how I feel it wouldn't still change the fact that she doesn't feel the same way and that we can't be together. I sigh inwardly.

The knock on my door cuts me out of my reverie.

"Come in. " I say to the person. The door opens and Olivia walks in.

"Morning dear. " she says smiling cheerfully.

"Morning Olivia. Did you sleep well?. "

"Yeah I did. " she says sitting down. "Did you?. " I actually didn't but I didn't want her worrying about me.

"I did. " I say lying.

"Your parents would be here soon. I know you're not happy about it but tomorrow is your special day can at least try to be happy. " I didn't know how to be happy. Since my parents never had time for me, I haven't been myself. I didn't grow up having a father or mother figure. They were just people I happened to live with.

"I'd try grandma. "

"I told you not to call me grandma. It makes me feel old. " she said and smacked my arm. I laughed but it didn't really reach my eyes. I think she noticed this because her smile faltered.

She leaned in and touched my cheek.

"todo estaría bien. " (everything would be alright).

"Gracias. " (Thank you).

"Déjame dejarte refrescarte. " (Let me leave you to freshen up). I nod my head and she stands up and walks out of the room.

I didn't really know how to speak Spanish but I could understand. Olivia is half Spanish and I stayed with her very well so that's why.

My full name was Cole Alejandro sprouse but I didn't really like people knowing I was mestizo. Meaning half Spanish, half American.

I stand up from bed and head to bathroom. I take a quick shower and brush my teeth. I walk out of the bathroom and put on a black ripped jeans, a white T-shirt and a black leather jacket.

I brush my hand through my hair and put on my Nike slides.

To be honest I would have preferred to just sneak out the window and go somewhere far away from here but I can't run from my problems forever can I? I don't think so.
