FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE END OF SUMMER

𝙾𝚖𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚝

"Summer!"

The girl winced. Richard. Again.

She had successfully avoided him for 12 days but he was persistent.

She pretended not to hear him, sipping on her drink and faking fascination with her phone.

"Hey, where have you been?"

She'd not come home when he was around, causing Lorenzo to follow her around like a spy.

A pang of sadness overtook her as she realised it was the last day of the reality show.

Even though she hated Lorenzo and his cameras, she'd miss the thrill of seeing herself on TV.

She rolled her eyes. That sounded conceited.

Richard was still staring at her.

She got up, leaving some money and tips for the poor souls who had to bear with her presence everyday.

"As usual, you always run away"

Her blood ran cold.

"Excuse me?"

"There she is" He smirks

"You wanna know why I run from you?" She stabs a finger in his chest, meeting a wall of muscle "You're too infuriating and you're stuck in my-"

She stopped. People were staring. Shit.

"In your mind?" Richard finished "Pot meet kettle"

Hold up.

"Let's take it elsewhere" she hissed. She did not want to be the talk of the town...beach.

"What do you mean ' pot meet kettle' ?" She asked once they were in more isolated surroundings

"Pot meet kettle refers to-" 

"I know what that fucking phrase means!" Summer held her hands up

"You wanna know? Fine, you're stuck in my head. I can't get you out and theres something else too"

Summer went ramrod straight.

"I think... I fucking love you, Summer I-don't-know your-middle-name Adrian"

"Jennifer" Summer said softly "And you don't love me"

"Summer" he rasped. 

He took her hand and held it to his chest.

Summer felt his heart thump against his chest.

"You see? I know what I feel. There's five days left and I'm not wasting a second"

Summer smiled.

"Actually" she said, the documents still burning a hole in her bag "I'm moving here"

Richard stared at her "What?"

She pulled out the documents "I want a fresh start and Miami is just that. I can see my boyfriend anytime" She winked at him/

He smirked at the word boyfriend but his expression changed.

"College?"

"I'm in my last year" She said "Couple months and it's Miami, baby"

"For real?"

"Ye-" Before she could finish, he wrapped his arms around her.

"Wanna go grab some food? My treat"

Summer nodded and took his hand, feeling lighter than ever.

THE LAST DAY

The five girls stared at each other. This was it.

"I'm gonna miss your dumb ass" Adelia teased Michelle, whose eyes were glossy.

"Shut up and hug me" Michelle sniffed.

The best friends hugged each other, tearfully.

After the goodbyes, Michelle looked around, happier than ever as Chris pulled her close.

They had fallen in love in one summer.

Summer caught her eye from the car and winked.

Best holiday ever.

So, I'ma let go
No one else in the world could ever come close to you, baby 
Close to you, baby 
We're taking it slow
Whenever, wherever, we're lasting forever, my baby 
And you're turning me on
