   Chapter 17
   When I finally went back over to my grandparent’s house I felt the need to call my mother and thank her for sending me here. I hadn’t talked to her very much all summer and I knew that I must be making her feel bad and guilty when she had been right all along. My life has changed so much this summer. And so have I, I didn’t plan on it, it just happened. And those are the best kind of changes, the one’s that take you by surprise. She picked up the phone after two rings.
   “Mom? Is Allie okay?” She asked clearly not expecting me to be the one calling her.
   “I’m fine.” I said taking her by surprise.
   “Sweetie I haven’t heard your voice in so long! How are you?” she was so happy that I had voluntarily called her.
   “I’m good, great actually. I’m just calling to apologize and tell you that you were right. This has been really good for me to be here.” She was quiet for a moment before responding.
   “What changed your mind?” She asked. She probably guessed that it had been a guy; she just wanted to know who.
   “I realized that I was making bad choices, like with Andrew. I was so stupid.” I had never admitted to being wrong before. But Jake was worth it.
   “Who is he?” she asked and I could tell that she was smiling. She knew me too well.
   “Jacob. You remember him, right?” there was dead silence on the other line. “Mom, are you still there?”
   “I always knew you two would end up together. Your sisters are going to be jealous though” she laughed “They both had huge crushes on him. But you always had a special kind of friendship with him. I’m happy for you.” I guess everyone had known we would end up together.
   “I have to go help grandma set the table, but I love you and I’m sorry.”
   “I love you too. Talk to you later.”
   I went in to the other room but dinner was already laid out and everything was ready so I just sat down. I had to tell my grandparents too, and it was their opinion that counted since they could keep me from seeing him.
   “Grandma, grandpa, I have to tell you something.” They looked curious and both looked at me waiting for me to continue. “Jacob and I are sort of… together.” They were quiet for a moment then they just laughed. I was confused.
   “We know sweetie, you have been all of your life.” My grandpa said.
   “No, we just decided this afternoon.” I was more confused than ever.
   “Oh honey, that boy has been in love with you all of his life, you just didn’t know you felt the same way until now.” My grandma said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. And to everyone but me it was.

   Chapter 16
   As soon as I got home I went over to Jacob’s house. He wasn’t home yet and neither were his parents, but I know where they hide their extra key so I unlocked the backdoor and went up to his bedroom to wait for him. It wasn’t a big deal, I had done this to him before and he had done it to me too. I sat on his bed and picked up his book off of the night stand. It was Jurassic Park. I had already read it three times, but I didn’t know how long I was going to be waiting for him.
   After an hour and a half, and six chapters, Jacob walked in. At first he looked surprised and then he looked angry.
   “What are you doing here?” he said it as if the very sight of me disgusted him. Nothing had ever hurt me so much. “Please just get out.” A tear rolled down my cheek and his eyes softened.
   “Please Jake, just talk to me.” I said in a whisper but I know he heard me, he nodded and I began to explain myself. “Emily told me what Olivia told you, and I need you to know that it’s not true. I would never do something like that and it hurts me to know that you think that little of me. Garrett and I are just friends, nothing more.” I hoped he would believe me. I couldn’t lose him now.
   “It sure looked like you two were more than friends at that party.” He spit out, “You were all over each other.” He was right, and I couldn’t really defend myself on that one.
   “We were just having fun. Nothing more, I didn’t even kiss him.” He looked up when I said that. I know he was thinking about when we kissed, because that’s what I was thinking about, and I know him better than I know anyone else… and I love him more than I love anyone else. He has always been the one I turn too, there has to be a reason why I keep going back to the same person over and over again. It’s because he is the guy for me. I guess it took almost losing him to realize that.
   “But, I did kiss you.” I said so quietly I wasn’t sure if he had heard me. But he had.
   “And why did you kiss me?” he asked, “I know why I kissed you, but why did you kiss me?”
   “Because… I-I” I had never told a guy that I love them before, because I never have. But Jacob needed to know. “Because I love you.”
   It seemed like forever before he spoke. He just stood there, staring at me. I couldn’t meet his gaze, I had to look away.
   “I love you too, Allie.” He finally said. “I always have.” Then he pulled me in close to him and he kissed me. This wasn’t like the kiss in my grandparent’s kitchen. This kiss was real, and when we finally stopped my head was spinning and I had to catch my breath. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.” Jacob told me.
   “How long?” I asked intertwining my fingers with his.
   “Since the moment I saw you in the airport when I went to pick you up. I looked so beautiful. I couldn’t help but fall in love with you all over again, just like I did when we were little, and I’ve fallen more and more in love with you every day since then.” Another tear fell from my eye but this time it was because I had never been so happy. “Wait here for a minute, I’ll be right back.” He said, kissing my forehead before running out of the room to get something.
   When he came back he was holding something behind his back.
   “Close your eyes.” He ordered me and I obeyed. I felt him place something around my neck. “You can open them.”
   I opened my eyes and looked down at what was resting on my neck. It was a necklace, a beautiful necklace. It was an oval shaped silver locket with a rose on the front of it. It was clearly an antique and it looked very familiar to me.
   “Oh Jake, it’s gorgeous” I said in awe. “It looks familiar, have I seen it before?” I asked, thinking maybe he had gotten it from one of the shops in town.
   “Probably when we were younger, it was my moms. My dad gave it to her when he told her he loved her. And my grandfather gave it to my grandmother when he told her he loved her. It’s been in my family for a very long time.” I knew I couldn’t keep it.
   “Jake, I can’t take this. It means too much to you.” I said
   “No. I want you to have it, and I know my mother would want you to have it too. She used to joke with me when we were little that one day I would give it to you. I guess she knew what she was talking about.” He really did love me. There was no doubt in my mind.
   “I love it, and I love you.” I said before reaching up and kissing him again.

   Chapter 15
   The rest of the party had been great. Garrett and I exchanged numbers and so did Emily and I. I was glad to have made new friends.
   I woke up to the sound of a new text message. I looked at my phone and saw that I had one new message from Garrett. We had spent the rest of the night together, dancing and talking. He was really funny and seemed like a pretty good guy.
   “Last night was fun. We should hang again sometime soon.” Although Garrett and I had a lot in common I just didn’t feel anything special when I was with him. I considered him to be a friend, nothing more.
   “Ya, I’m glad we’re friends.” I replied trying to let him down gently. He didn’t respond but I don’t think he’ll be too upset. I had another new message, this one was from Emily.
   “Mike and I really like each other. Thanks for getting me to talk to him.” I was so relieved that they had worked out.
   “That’s great!” I was honestly happy for her, just because my new relationship didn’t work out didn’t mean that hers couldn’t. I decided to spend the day with Jake so I called his house. There was no answer. I walked over to see if he was there but he wasn’t. I tried texting him to ask where he was but he never answered, even though I could see on my iPhone that he had read the message. Maybe he was avoiding me.
   Over the next week my fear that Jacob was mad at me grew. I hadn’t heard from him or seen him in 3 days. I decided to ask Emily to hang out. She said yes so we went to the mall for the day. We were in Delia’s flipping through the shirts and eating our frozen yogurt when I decided to asked Emily if she had heard from Jake since he seemed to be ignoring me. After I asked her she was quiet for a minute.
   “Yeah… I talked to him.” The way she said it made me feel like she knew exactly what was wrong, but it also made me feel like whatever it was, I didn’t want to know. I readied myself and asked her.
   “Why is he upset with me?” I knew that she could tell I was worried from the look on her face.
   “He is really hurt. He told me that he kissed you and that he really likes you… as more than a friend. But… h-he.” She didn’t want to tell me, whatever it was, it was bad. “He thinks you slept with Garrett!” She blurted out.
   “What!? I barely ever know him!” I was so angry, I hadn’t ever kissed Garrett. We were just friends.
   “I know and I tried telling him that but he saw you with him at the party and so did Olivia. That girl’s crazy and she’s such a liar, she’ll do anything to get to Jacob.” I had to fix this, but how? Jake would never believe me now, and I can’t believe that he actually felt that way about me or that he would believe that I slept with a guy the same day I met him. I was so confused. I just needed to talk to him. Face to face and since he was avoiding me, that wouldn’t be too easy.

   Chapter 14(part 2)
   “So, let’s go get our flirt on, that’s the best way for girls to bond right?” Emily asked with a grin. She was funny. I think we could be really good friends.
   “Sure.” I said laughing.
   “Who are you interested in? I know you don’t know anyone but tell me who you think is cute and I’ll tell you what I think of them.” She seemed egger to set me up. So I decided to tell her what happened with Garrett earlier. She seemed interested.
   “He doesn’t go for many girls, he’s really shy but it sounds like he’s into you.” I was glad she thought I had a chance. “But be careful. He’s such a player.” I already knew that but it was nice that she was looking out for me.
   “I kind of picked up on that. But I think it might be fun to play him back.” I said with a smirk and her face lit up.
   “It definitely will be.” She agreed.
   “So who are you interested in?” I asked her, making a real attempt to be her friend.
   “Well I think I might like Jacob but everyone tells me he’s into some other girl.” When she said that I felt the urge to punch her, but I didn’t. Instead I tried to convince her he wasn’t right for her.
   “You know, Jake has always had a thing for older girls. Don’t think you should waste your time on him. I think he’s already seeing someone.” She looked really disappointed and I felt bad but I didn’t want her going after my best friend.
   “Oh, I guess you know him better than I do.” It killed me to hear the pain in her voice when I knew that she probably had a really good chance with Jacob, but I couldn’t tell her the truth. “I have been thinking about Michael a lot lately too.”
   “I can help you out with that.” I really hoped that I could get the two of them together. Otherwise I would feel like it was my fault since I lied about Jacob. We agreed that by the end of the night, both guys would be interested in us, and we went outside to get started.
   As it turns out, Michael had been planning on asking Emily out for a while and as soon as she went up to him they hit it off. It was much easier than I expected and since I didn’t really need Emily’s help to get a guy interested in me I left her with Mike and went to flirt with Garrett.
   He was talking to a small group of guys including Jacob. When I asked him if he wanted to spend some time alone he jumped at the opportunity. As we walked away I thought I Jake seemed upset but I’m sure he was fine.

   Chapter 14
   Once the party started and the rest of Jake’s friends started showing up Garrett had to help Mike greet them and help them tie up their boats, but every time I looked over at him he was looking at me. As a matter of fact it seemed like every guy here was looking at me and it was starting to make me uncomfortable. I went to go and find Jacob because he was the only person there that I knew. When I found him he was talking to some girl. I couldn’t help but feel jealous, she was really pretty. She had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes along with a perfect figure. When Jake saw me he came right over to me and grabbed my hand.
   “Allie, this is Emily. Emily this is Allie.” He introduced us. She smiled and pulled me into an un expected hug.
   “Jacob has told me so much about you! It’s great to finally meet you.” She was one of those people that you just had to like and I did, despite the fact that I felt like there was something going on between her and Jake. “Jake has had you for the past month; you and I are going to get to know each other tonight. I really want to be friends.” I needed a girlfriend here and I was grateful that Emily was interested in being my friend.
   “That sounds great, I’m getting sick of Jake anyways.” I said jokingly, smiling at him.
   “Yeah, right.” He said laughing, “Come find me when you start to miss me.” He said and went outside to join the rest of his friends.

   Chapter 13(part 2)
   Jacob grabbed my hand at pulled me out the door, for some reason I can’t explain when his hand touched mine, I got butterflies, like the kind I used to get when I was with Andrew. Maybe it means something or maybe not but either way I decided to ignore it. We went down to his boat so we could get to his friend’s house that evidentially lived on another island on the lake. It must be so cool to live here year round. We got to his friend’s house around 6:15. It was huge, probably the biggest house I’ve ever see. When we showed up there were two other guys already there, Jacob introduced me. One of them, the owner of the house had shaggy blond hair and brown eyes, he was a little taller than me but not much, Jake told me his name was Michael or Mike. He answered to both. The other guy was almost as tall as Jake but not quite. He had dark brown hair and green eyes. His name was Garrett. I shook their hands and introduced myself. They both looked me up and down checking me out. I smiled to myself glad to be making a good impression. Michael and Jacob went inside to carry out some more stuff for the party leaving me alone with Garrett. He asked me to help him set up some more chairs around the bonfire they were going to start so I did. When I was carrying one over I tripped on a tree root and almost fell on my face but Garrett caught me.
   “Be careful.” He instructed and I smiled up at him.
   “Thanks for helping me.” I said in a flirty way as I bit my lip and twirled my hair. He smiled and put his arms around my waist as if there were still a chance I would fall.
   “You know, you’re really hot.” He said with a wink. “I don’t think Jacob did you justice when he described you.” I blushed. I knew that he was just a player, believe me, I knew the type a little too well. Still, I hadn’t really flirted with a guy since I came here and it felt good to have someone want me.
   “Oh well, as long as you don’t underestimate me.” I said then pulled away from him; if he wanted me then he had to work for me.
   “Believe me, I won’t.” I heard him whisper. I don’t think he meant for me to hear, but I did. Tonight was going to be fun.

   Chapter 13(part 1)
   After Jake kissed me he had left quickly without talking about it. That was yesterday and I haven’t seen him or heard from him since. I knew things would be awkward for a while but I wouldn’t let this ruin our friendship and I didn’t think he would either. Around five I got a text from him.
   “The party starts at 7 but my buddy throwing it asked me to get there early. Can we leave at 6?” I was so relieved that he wasn’t upset or ignoring me. I responded right away.
   “Sure, I’ll be ready, what should I wear?” He’s helped me pick me outfits before and I didn’t know what kind of a party this was going to be so I asked him.
   “It’s mostly outside and it’ll be warm so dress for that.” I set my phone down, I didn’t need to text back I’d see him in less than an hour but I heard my phone buzz again. “Besides, it doesn’t matter. You look beautiful in anything.” Okay, I was confused again. Did the kiss mean something more to him? I couldn’t think about that right now. I have to get ready and anyways I’m sure he was just trying to be nice. He has always been very sensitive to my feelings.
   I went to my closet and decided to choose an outfit that was a little s/utty. I haven’t been to a party since the first one this summer and maybe this would be my chance to meet a guy. I was completely over Andrew and I wanted to have fun the rest of the summer even if I was trapped here. I put on a pair of white short shorts that my parents wouldn’t have approved of and a black shirt that was all lace and completely see-through with a hot pink bandeau on underneath. Next I did my makeup. I put on lots of black mascara and eyeliner because it would be dark soon and I wanted to make sure it was noticeable. I left my long auburn hair down in it’s natural waves. Once I had finished getting ready I stepped back and examined the finished product. I looked good. This was something that I would wear to a party back home. Hopefully it wasn’t too much.
   At six I heard Jacob knock on the back door. I grabbed my phone and went to greet him. When he saw me, his jaw literally dropped.
   “Y-you look…. amazing.” And the look on his face told me he was telling the truth. I smiled.
   “Thanks. You’re sure it’s not too much?” He just shook his head no. I was glad my outfit had the desired effect; hopefully it would work on the other guys at the party and not just my best friend.

   When I woke up it was raining, perfect, I thought. It matches my mood. I walked into the kitchen and saw that my grandparents had already left. I know they feel guilty about not spending time with me but they have to work, I guess. I put on my black yoga pants and pink crop top. I wasn’t planning on leaving the house today, what was the point? I was 2 episodes in to my pretty little liars marathon when I heard a knock on the door, great. I got up and answered the door, it was Jake.
   “What do you want?” I said rudely. I immediately felt bad, he had done nothing wrong, he has been such a good friend. “I’m sorry, come in.” Hopefully he wasn’t too upset by me.
   “What’s wrong?” He asked. I guess I hadn’t done such a great job hiding my emotions.
   “Nothing, you can stay if you want to, but it’s raining so I’m not going out.”
   “Al, I know what you’re upset, you can tell me.” He said as he brushed a strand of hair back from my face. “You can tell me anything.”
   “It’s just that… I… I have no friends here. Well other than you and it’s driving me crazy. I can’t even spend time with my grandparents, other than at dinner. They’re never here.” He looked a little hurt at the fact that he wasn’t enough for me, but more than that he looked concerned.
   “Come here.” He pulled me into a tight hug that almost made me feel better. “I’ll introduce you to my friends, I’m sure they’ll love you… just like I do.” He said with his adorable half smile.
   “I don’t want you to feel like I’m a burden. And I’m not so sure they will, I mean once Olivia found out we were friends she just seemed to hate me.”
   “Olivia is insane. Meet my normal friends. They’ll love you I promise.” He looked kind of excited about the idea so I gave in.
   “Okay, I will.” His face lit up.
   “I’m going to a party tomorrow night. Come with me?” I wanted to go to a party but not with people I didn’t know. But there was no way I could tell him no now.
   “I’d love to go.” I said with a fake smile. He picked me up and spun me around, his happiness was contagious. I started giggling and smiling like crazy. “Okay, okay” I said through my laughter, “put me down Jake.” And he did. Then something completely unexpected happened.
   Jacob leaned in and kissed me.

    Chapter 11
    “Be right back Liv. I haven’t seen Jake since last night. I fell asleep and he carried me to bed. I should really go thank him.” The look on her face was priceless. I ran over to Jake and threw my arms around his neck in a flirty way. He seemed surprised at first but then put his arms around my waist hugging me back. After I pulled away his hand lingered on my waist, as he looked me up and down. I guess my choice in bathing suit left an impact on him.
    “Thank you for taking care of me last night. And next time wake me up, I don’t want to have to spend time with Olivia again.” I whispered the last part because she had come over towards us.
    “Hi Jake.” She said sounding like a bimbo.
    “What? My name is Jacob.” He said obviously confused.
    “B-but, Allie calls you Jake. And I know you way better than she does.” She said trying to convince herself and me that she and Jake had some special friendship. Thankfully Jacob just laughed.
    “It’s different when Al calls me Jake, it’s kind of her name for me. And no one knows me better then Allie. I tell her everything.” When he said the last part he wrapped his arm around my waist. Normally that wouldn’t have been a big deal but something made it seem like more than a friendly gesture, Either way Olivia stormed away, her face red from anger and embarrassment. After she was gone I started laughing. “What is it?” Jake asked, worried he had done something wrong. He moved his arm.I grabbed his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
    “Nothing, it’s just that she totally loves you.” I started laughing again.
    “Oh, I knew that. She always follows me around and just shows up at my house. I’s a little creepy.”
    “She’s convinced you’re going to hook up with her this summer.” I warned him.
    “Well that’s not going to happen. I’m interested in someone else.” He looked down at me when he said it. No, he couldn’t mean me, could he?

    Chapter 10(part 2)
    “Hey, Allison.” She said in a whiney voice. I hated when people called me Allison, which I feel like she remembered.
    “Call me Allie.” I said hoping that I sounded more friendly than I felt. I didn’t want my grandmother hearing that I had been rude. “It’s been too long.” Hopefully she couldn’t tell that my enthusiasm was forced. “Where’s Megan?” I asked praying that she wasn’t coming. One of them was bad enough.
    “She’s at a friend’s house. She didn’t want to come.” Too bad you came I thought to myself.
    “That’s too bad. What do you want to do?” I asked deciding to give her a chance. Maybe she really had changed.
    “Let’s tan!” She squealed. Looking at her skin it was clear that this was something she normally did. I on the other hand was pretty pale considering my Irish blood. She pulled a bottle of tanning lotion out of her bag and handed it to me. We walked down to the dock and laid out towels. We helped each other put the lotion on before laying down. She didn’t seem to be as bad as I remembered.
    “So tell me about yourself.” I said actually curious as to what kind of person she was. Immediately after asking the question I regretted it. For what seemed like forever she blabbered on about school, her friends, cheerleading, and all of the boys who were ‘obsessed’ with her. But most of all she talked about Jacob. Jacob this and Jacob that, ‘Oh my gosh! Aren’t his eyes pretty!’ And ‘All of my friends are so jealous that I live so close to him.’ I was starting to get mad, she was acting like he was her boyfriend or something. Then I got a sick feeling in my stomach. Jack had never said that he didn’t have a girlfriend. Could it be that he actually found her appealing.
    “Is Jake your boyfriend or something?” I asked trying to sound like I didn’t care.
    “Oh no, but that should change by the end of the summer. And why do you call him Jake?” She asked clearly annoyed that I had a nickname for him.
    “I’ve called him that since we were little, he calls me Al. Just our own special names for each other I guess.” Her mud brown eyes narrowed.
    “Well he likes to be called Jacob. Ask anyone who actually knows him.” I wanted to punch her in the face but I held back my anger. Instead I decided to make her just as angry as she made me. Why not have fun with this?
    “He likes me to call him Jake, and I’m pretty sure I know him better than anyone else.” Her face flashed with rage. “Oh, and I wouldn’t count on you two getting together this summer.” Why was I doing this? Jake and I were just friends and I really didn’t need an enemy but I couldn’t help it. Olivia looked like she was going to attack me but before she got the chance we heard a boat coming.
    Finally, Jake was home.

    Chapter 10(part 1)
    I guess I had fallen asleep on the beach with Jacob because the next thing I knew I was waking up in my bed. I guess Jake must have carried me in, he always took care of me like that.
    “Good morning sweetheart.” My grandma said walking into my room. “It was so kind of Jacob to carry you in last night. He is so protective of you.” The way she said it made me a little uncomfortable. It was as if she were implying something about Jake’s feelings towards me. “He came over to see you this morning but decided to let you sleep. He said he would be back around noon.” I felt my heart sink. It was only 9:30, what would I do for two and a half hours until he got back? My grandma must have sensed how I was feeling. “Do you remember our other neighbors?” She asked cheerfully. There were only four houses on this island so of course I remembered them. I assumed she was talking about the family with two daughters. If I remembered right one of them was my age and the other was a few years younger than me.
    “Olivia and Megan right?” I asked trying to remember their names.
    “Yeah, I’m sure they would love to see you. Do you want me to call and invite them over?” She asked expecting me to say yes. It’s not like I could say no to her though.
    “Um. Yeah, it will be nice to see them again.” I said with fake enthusiasm. But honestly they had always annoyed me. I remember Olivia, the one my age, would always follow Jake and I around when we were younger. She had a little crush on him. And her sister, Megan, was sure a crybaby, always claiming I had done something mean to her or telling on Jake and I to get us in trouble. I could only hope they had gotten better as they matured.
    “Great! I’ll go call them right now, they’ll be so excited to see you!” As soon as she left I groaned and rolled my eyes. I had only waited for her to leave because I didn’t need a lecture from her on disrespect.
    “They’ll be over in an hour.” She called from the kitchen.
    “Great.” I mumbled to myself before rolling out of bed. I went to the bathroom and took a quick and much needed shower. After stepping out I braided my long hair down my back wet. I chose a hot pink bikini with ruffles on the top for today. Whenever I was here I practically lived in my bathing suit. The one I chose for today was a little s/utty but for some reason I felt like I had to outdo Olivia if Jake was going to see us together. I applied waterproof eyeliner and mascara before examining my appearance in the mirror. Once I decided I was pleased with what I saw I slipped on a gray and white stripped cover up from Hollister and white flowered flip flops before going into the kitchen. My grandma and grandpa had already left to go to work on the mainland. I ate a bowl of cereal then went outside. After about ten minutes I saw a girl about the same height as me with short blonde hair walking towards me from the next house down.

    Chapter 9
    I expected him to take me to the mainland which is why I was surprised when we pulled into the cove of a small island. It was about the size of a football field. It was covered in trees and had a nice sandy beach.
    “Where are we?” I asked Jacob because in all of the time I had spent at this lake, I had never been to this island.
    “This is my secret island.” He said with a smirk. “I found it a couple years ago, you’re the first person I’ve showed it to.” I knew this was a big deal to him. This place seemed to be important to him so I thanked him for trusting me with his secret. “Well I figured my best friend is pretty trustworthy.” He said and I could hear the laughter in his voice.
    “So what are we going to do here?” I asked hoping he wouldn’t be offended that I didn’t know.
    “We’re spending the day together, I thought that was obvious.”
    “It is, but what will we be doing all day?” I asked slightly annoyed.
    “Just come with me.” I followed him through the trees and over to the other side of the island. I wasn’t prepared for how beautiful it was, I gasped when I saw it and Jacob smiled clearly pleased with himself for impressing me. “Do you like it?” He asked.
    On this side of the island you could see the mountain stretching up to the sky in the distance. The water was so clear and blue, it matched Jacob’s eyes. Beautiful bright yellow, pink, and orange flowers grew everywhere, and small baby duckling and turtles swam around in the water. “Oh Jake. It’s so beautiful.” I could have sworn I heard him say just like you, but I probably misheard him.
    “Come on!” Jake said pulling off his shirt and jumping into the water. Damn, he had really nice abs. I looked away blushing. He popped his head up out of the water.
    “You coming?” He called to me and I nodded. I slipped off my clothes that I had on over my bikini and out of the corner of my eye I saw him staring at me in awe, eyes and mouth open wide. I guess he didn’t expect me to look so good. I suppressed a giggle and jumped into the water to swim out to him. I reached where he was and began to tread water. Although he could touch it was too deep for me. When he realized this he slipped his arm around my waist to hold me up. He blushed and I laughed at him out loud this time.
    “Do I really make you that uncomfortable?” I asked not expecting him to answer.
    “No, it’s just… you’ve really um… grown up.” I laughed again at how nervous I seemed to be making him. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out on the island. We talked about everything; we talked about school, grades, friends, and collages. As it turned out our top choice for college was the same. He was a year ahead of me but I had known what my top 5 schools were since freshman year, the top 5 veterinary schools in the country. And number one just so happened to be in Minnesota. He told me that he wanted his friends to meet me this summer. This made me nervous because I was always so afraid that people wouldn’t like me. What if they didn’t like me and then convinced him not to like me, I would have no one for the rest of summer. I didn’t tell him my concern because I wanted to seem confident. Throughout the day we swam, fished, and around one we ate and feed some bread to the baby ducklings. We stayed on the beach until about eight o’clock. We sat on the beach watching the sunset; I laid my head on his shoulder and began to drift off to sleep. It would have been romantic if it had been with a guy I liked that way. But I didn’t feel that way about Jake. We were just friends, best friends… right? I wasn’t so sure anymore.

    Chapter 8
    When I woke up I opened my eyes to find a boy’s face an inch away from mine. I screamed and fell out of my bed onto the floor.
    “Jake you jerk!” I yelled, angry that he had scared me. He just laughed as if he had done nothing wrong. I looked over at the clock. It was seven in the freaking morning. When I saw that I started yelling at him again. “What the heII?! Why are you here so early?” I asked angrily. “It’s only my second day of summer vacation and you wake me up at the same time I have to wake up for school?” I asked annoyed.
    “Come on Al, lighten up. I always wake up early and you’re spending the day with me remember?” The way he said it somehow calmed me down and I nodded despite my desire to fall back asleep. “Now hurry up and get dressed, I’ll go make us breakfast.” He sounded like one of my parents. “Wear your bathing suit.” He called from the kitchen.
    Last night after dinner I had hung my clothes up in my closet. Yes, it was my closet, this was my room. And my sisters room, but this summer it would just be me. It seemed empty without them and their things here with me, but I was trying not to think about that. I don’t know why but I wanted to look cute today. I wanted to impress Jake, not that I needed to. He had always cared about me for me. That’s what I liked about him. I undressed and threw my pajamas and underwear into the hamper. I looked at all of my bikinis and decided on a bright green one with white polka dots. After I put it on I looked in the mirror at my slim figure. I had a flat stomach and toned legs from all of the sports I played, and curves in all of the right places. I had worked hard for my body and I was proud of it. I guess you could call me an “it” girl. I had been told I was beautiful since I was a little girl, and I suppose I was; with my long reddish hair and light greenish-blue eyes. Everyone wanted to be me, or be with me. But I wasn’t like the rest of my friends. And being here made me realize that I’m not shallow like them. I’m a nature girl, a hippy at heart I guess you could say.
    I pulled on white shorts and a brightly colored yellow and orange crop top that just barely showed off my stomach. Then I went in to the bathroom and applied a small amount of black waterproof eyeliner and mascara. It draws attention to my eyes so I like to wear it. Finally I French braided my long hair off to the side, slipped on a pair of white flip-flops, and grabbed my aviators before walking into the kitchen.
    “Breakfasts up.” Jacob said without turning away from the stove. I could smell the bacon and I immediately felt bad about not telling him before he started cooking.
    “Umm Jake.” I said sounding guilty. He turned and looked at me, his eyes moving from my head to my toes and then back up again. I smiled to myself, he was checking me out. Then he looked at me as if to say what. “I’m a vegetarian.” I was worried he would be mad but her just laughed.
    “You always were a tree-hugging animal lover. I guess you’ve turned pro.” He said smiling at me shaking his head. “Oh well, more bacon for me. You can just eat the eggs.” I nodded and smiled relieved that he wasn’t angry after cooking this for me.
    We ate quickly and by the time we were finished my grandparents were awake. I kissed them both goodbye and told them I was spending the day with Jacob. They said it was fine. I knew they would, they had always loved Jake.
    Jake and I walked down to his boat and we climbed in. The boat was new, at least new within the last six years. I sat down in seat next to the driver’s seat while Jake untied the boat. We were pulling out when I realized that I had no idea what we would be doing.
    “Where are we going?” I asked Jacob, only slightly concerned about the answer.
    “It’s a surprise.” He said with a smirk. Oh boy… With him that could mean anything.

    Chapter 7
    After Jake helped me get my luggage up into the bed of the truck I hopped up into the front seat with him. It reminded me of Andrew’s truck with its long bench styled seat. Only this time I stayed over by the window.
    “So what have you been up to Al?” Normally I hated being called Al but with Jacob it was different. I had known him my whole life and I had always let him call me whatever he wanted; whether that be Allie, Al, or even Allison.
    “Well I just finished sophomore year and got shipped out here for the summer.” The way I said it made it clear that being here was not my choice. I looked over at him and saw a small frown appear on his face. I had always hated it when he didn’t smile.
    “You don’t want to be here.” He said it as a statement not a question, he was obviously upset.
    “I didn’t plan on coming here this summer. I guess you could say it’s my punishment, but maybe it won’t be so bad.” I actually meant it. I hadn’t seen Jacob in so long and it felt good to be with him again.
    “So why did you do to get sent away for the whole summer?” He asked, his cute smile returning to his face.
    “It’s a long story.”
    “Well we’ve got a long ride to the lake. You’ve got time.” He said giving me a look that said tell me or else. The same look he used to give me when we were little before he pushed me off the dock or pinned me down and ticked me. When I saw him look at me like that I knew I could tell him anything, so I told him everything.
    I told him about the party and the drinking. I also told him about Andrew and how I was so wrong about him. When I finished the story he looked at me with concern in his eyes.
    “Please don’t ever drink.” He said in a pleading tone. I knew he would react badly to that part of the story. His mother was an alcoholic and she drown in the lake while she was drunk when he was nine and I was eight. She was the reason I wouldn’t even have a sip when at that party. She was like a second mother to me when I was younger. That’s part of the reason we stopped coming out here, it was too painful for me and my sisters. I grabbed his hand and held it tight.
    “Never.” I said, it was the one thing I had always been sure of. I would never drink. The very thought of it made me sick. So I knew I could promise him that.
    “And you know that guys an idiot. Any guy would be freaking insane to screw things up with you.” I turned towards the window when he said that so he wouldn’t see me blush. We were finally at the lake, now just a short boat ride to an island in the middle where my grandparent’s house sat. I had decided to be my normal happy self when I saw them. After all it wasn’t their fault my parents had banished me. Besides, I had missed them so much.
    Jacob helped me load my things onto the boat and we were off. I had missed boating; I hadn’t been since the last time I was here. My long auburn hair blew behind me as we sped off on the water. I felt free. The trip to the house was much too quick, I wanted to stay on the water forever. As soon as we reached the dock I jumped out of the boat and sprinted up to the house. I thought Jake would say something but he just laughed. I ran straight into my grandpa George’s arms.
    “Well hello there baby girl. We’ve missed you.” He said
    “There’s my beautiful granddaughter, all grown up. My grandma Ruth said with a tear in her eye.” Go help Jacob with your bags and ask him to stay for dinner.” Manners were always her first priority. I went out the door to see Jake had already brought my things up.
    “Want to stay for dinner?” I called to him.
    “I can’t, but I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow. We’re spending the day together, got it?” he said it his playful voice.
    “You got it.” I called back happily. I had actually managed to forget that I didn’t want to be here, for now anyways.

    Chapter 6
    We landed an hour early so after claiming my luggage I went to grab an iced coffee. I love coffee, but neither my parents… or grandparents approved of my little addiction so this might be the last cup I get all summer. It’s not that I don’t love my grandparents, I do very much. But they’re kind of old fashion and I just wanted to have fun this summer. I turned my phone back on and saw that Andrew had replied. I was almost afraid to see what he had said.
    “Well babe I don’t want to make you wait for me. We should see other people this summer, then when you get back we’ll give it another try. Ok? <3” Even though I had seen this coming, it still hurt. I really thought that I had finally found a good guy who would treat me right, but I had never had good taste in guys. Or maybe it was me. Did I make guys act like jerks?
    Before I knew it an hour had gone by and I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to find a boy with beautiful blue eyes and slightly messy black hair looking down at me. I didn’t know him, I was sure of that. I would recognize him. But he did look familiar.
    “Can I help you?” I asked trying to sound polite.
    “You mean you don’t remember me?” He asked giving me a very familiar grin. Where did I know him from? “Your grandparents sent me to pick you up, I haven’t seen you in so long Allie.” I knew I recognized him from somewhere! He was my grandparent’s neighbor and had been my best friend every summer I came out here. But I hadn’t been out here since I was ten, which meant I hadn’t seen Jacob in six years. I immediately jumped up and threw my arms around his neck.
    “I can’t believe it’s really you! You’ve gotten so… big.” It was true, the last time I had seen him I was a couple inches taller than him but now he was at least 6’2” and I was only 5’5.” I had to stand on my tippy toes just to put my arms around his neck.
    “Glad to see you missed me as much as I missed you.” He said laughing, clearly glad that I had known who he was. Despite my anger towards my parents for sending me here I couldn’t help but smile and giggle along with him. After all it’s not every day you’re reunited with your childhood best friend. And I had never expected him to be so…. hot. “Come on. I promised your grandparents I’d get you home before dinner.”

    Chapter 5
    I drove to the airport with my mom, not talking to her because I was too angry. I knew this was her idea. My dad would never send me away for the whole summer even if it was to his parent’s house. Sometimes I wondered if my mom ever liked me. She was so much harder on me than my sisters. And I was twice as responsible as them! This was the first time I had ever done anything wrong. And I hadn’t even done anything, it’s not like I was drinking.
    “I know you’re mad at me.” My mother said in a quiet voice, as if she were talking to a frightened animal. “But you never know what good could come out of this, they say life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans. And you certainly didn’t plan this. You might like it up there, you always loved it when you were little.”
    “When I was little we would go as a family, not just me being sent away. I had Andrea and Carry and it wasn’t for the whole summer!” I yelled at her. I knew she honestly thought this would be good for me but she was so wrong. How could spending my summer break on a cold rainy lake be good for me?
    We pulled up to the airport and I jumped out of the car egger to get away from my mother. Even if I had to willingly get on the plane to do it. She stopped me before I could leave and pulled me into a tight hug.
    “I’m going to miss you.” She said as tears ran down her checks.
    “Then you shouldn’t be making me go.” I said more harshly than was necessary. She kissed my forehead and I pushed her away walking into the airport. How dare she make me feel guilty about being mad at her.
    After I got through security and had boarded the plane I still had another half hour before my flight left. I pulled out my phone and checked my messages. There was one from Zoe and one from Andrew. I decided to start with Zoe.
    “Hey girl! Did your parents like totally flip sh/t when they found out?” Zoey asked, not expecting my news.
    “Yeah, you could say that. They’re sending me to Minnesota for the whole summer.” I typed back. It was almost painful to see it written out like that. It made it real.
    “No! Are you serious?” She asked panicked.
    “Yeah, I’m on the plane now. I’ve got to go but I’ll try to talk to you later.” I said. I still had time but I didn’t feel like talking to Zoey, She was always so happy and peppy. Right now I just wanted to hate the world.
    “ok, love you and I’ll miss you”
    Sooner or later I would have to see what Andrew had to say and Zoey would no doubt tell him that I was leaving if I didn’t. So I opened the message.
    “Hey babe, I’m so sorry about last night. Let me make it up to you?” It was sad how much I still wanted to say yes after what had happened. But I couldn’t even if I wanted to.
    “I can’t. My parents totally freaked out. They’re sending me to stay with my grandparents all summer.” I knew that he would find someone else while I was gone and even though I was still mad at him, the idea of him with someone else hurt me.
    “That blows. So I guess we can’t be together this summer now.” There it was. He would find someone else.
    “I guess not.” I typed back quickly before turning off my phone.
    Five minutes later the plane took off, and I started crying. I didn’t stop until we landed.

    Chapter 4
    We walked in the front door of the house and I screamed and cried throwing a huge temper tantrum and acting like a little kid but I didn’t care. They were sending me away for the whole summer! And I hated them for it. They couldn’t make me go. I wouldn’t pack; I would lock myself away in my room and do whatever it took to miss my flight the next day. But when I walked into my room, my bags were already packed, my closet practically empty. When I saw the bags at the door I looked up to find my two traitorous sisters sitting on my bed looking at me with pity in their eyes. I didn’t need this. “Leave. “ I practically screamed but neither of them moved an inch. I fell to my knees and started crying.
    “shhshh.” My older sister Andrea said trying to sooth me while my younger sister Carry rubbed my back. The three of us were so close, only a year apart each. How could they let our parents send me away for so long? “I know it seems bad now but we used to go up there every summer. It’s beautiful and you’ll make new friends.” Andrea said. I didn’t understand how she could expect me to see anything good about this situation. If the roles were reversed she would have reacted the same way I did.
    “I’m sorry we packed your things.” Carry said seeming almost afraid to talk. “But we knew you wouldn’t and you really didn’t want mom packing for you did you?” She asked. I knew she was right and they were only trying the help but I felt so betrayed. I couldn’t be mad at them though, because no matter what, mom would make sure I was on that plane tomorrow and I wanted to make my last night with them a good one. I would miss them so much. They both slept in my room that night but inevitably, morning came and it was time to say goodbye. Goodbye to my parents, my sisters, my friends, and my summer.

    Chapter 3
    My parents drove me home from the police station, neither of them saying a word. I knew I was in serious trouble because even though I hadn’t had a single sip of the beer, it was all over me. The smell of it filled the car and I knew for my parents that would be enough to punish me. I needed to explain myself but I didn’t want to be the first one to speak. I had imagined this night over and over again for the past two weeks. I had been so looking forward to this party, but I had never imagined it could end so badly. I had lost my potential boyfriend along with all of my parents respect. I was so angry with myself; so much for a great start to summer, and so much for a summer romance.
    “I know you’re both mad at me but you have to believe me when I tell you that I didn’t drink anything. The officer even told you that I hadn’t! That’s why they let me go.” I said as calmly as I could, trying to explain my side of the story. It seemed like an eternity before either one of them responded.
    “That’s not the point.” My mother said her voice cold. “You were at a party with alcohol and your friends were drinking. Not to mention that you lied to us about what the party would be. You promised us it was a small group of friends and that there would be no drugs and no drinking.” She said sounding so much like her lawyer self, presenting her argument. “You have made a poor choice in friends and we are going to punish you. Not because we’re mad at you but because we see the path you’re headed down and we want to protect you.” She said clearly already knowing what my punishment would be.
    “Just tell me.” I said in a pleading voice not wanting to wait any longer to hear my sentencing. I assumed the usual grounded for two weeks no electronics, no friends. I wish they had let me off that easy.
    “Your father and I have decided that you are going to spend two months living with your grandparents in Minnesota. You leave tomorrow.”
