Complications with Bailey McConnell

Chapter 97

*Bailey*

I don't know what Summers up to but all I know is she wants answers about her confusing family, and she wants them now.

I push the box under the bed and fall backwards onto her bed.

"How's your leg?" she asks as she pulls a bag out of the wardrobe.

I hadn't really noticed it today, apart from when I tried to run.

The guy who wacked me across the knee with a metal pie had shattered the bone. I didn't even know that was possible. So they had to replace it with a metal knee cap.

It's weird because Summer has a metal plate in her right elbow and when you put them next to each other you feel a slight pull.

"It's alright thanks. That water will probably lossen it up a bit." I say waving my leg about.

I watch Summer as she floats around her room humming Take Me To Church by Hozier.

(Mine and Molly's Favourite song in real life 😱)

I never thought you could fall in love at 15.

I know what love is now.

It's not when your texting your girlfriend in year 5 (5th grade) saying "Love you bye"

That's not the same. That's silly. You think your in love with them but really you just like the idea of saying you have a girlfriend/boyfriend at 10 because it sounds cool and grown up.

11 year olds these days are crying over losing boy/girlfriends. When I was 11 I was worrying that I wouldn't be aloud out to play football with Joe on the green.

As I look at Summer now, after all we have been through, I know at the end of the day she will still be here, even if we get in an argument she will still be here. And I will always, ALWAYS be here for her.

"Bailey?" Summer says bring me out of thought.

"Yeah?" I say lifting my head of her warm covers.

"What one? My French Dot or Jack Wills bikini?" She says holding up two bikinis.

"The blue and black one" I say pointing to her right hand.

"Okay" she shrugs putting the other one away.

I didn't even know which one I chose, all I know is the one I picked is the smallest.

*Summer*

I knew which one he was going to chose. His a guy. All guys work by that logic.

I slip into the bathroom and put my French Dot bikini, that I'm completely obsessed with, under my clothes.

Us girls went on a shopping trip the week Bailey and I came back and we found this cute shop on the edge of town and saw these Bikinis in the window.

//FLASHBACK//

Oh how we have fallen in love with them.

"Oh my god! Look at them!" I squeal holding the blue one in between my hands ever so gently in fear I am going to damage them.

"They are so cute!" Molly shrieks from beside me. I watch her retch for an pink and black one.

"They must be so expensive" Liv sighs.

Liv has always know her fashion. What's in and what's not. I'm not saying I have no idea but she is slaw at on trend.

"Hello ladies" the shop assistant comes up to us and steps between our mountains of bags.
