Sequel to Best Friends for Never
(part two)
We pulled up to my aunt’s huge, white mansion. Well, it wasn’t literally a mansion, but it was pretty big. I’m gonna miss wandering around the entire house and getting lost. I got out of the car and started walking across the street.
“Where you going?” Courtney asked.
“To say goodbye.”
“To who?”
“Just shut up.” My relationship with Courtney has kinda gone downhill since she had the twins. I’ve lost all respect for my 21 year old sister with two kids. I walked across the street and up to Nick’s front porch. I rang the doorbell and within seconds, Nick was standing in front of me.
“Hey,” he said, walking outside and sitting next to me on his porch swing.
“Hi,” I said back. I sat on the swing with my head down, staring at the ground. He came over and moved his head in front of mine.
“You okay?” he asked.
“Not really…” I told him.
“You should be excited! You’re moving right next door to a beach!”
“I guess,” I whispered.
“Paige! Come say goodbye to Aunt Patty and Uncle Ron!” my mom screamed from across the street.
“I guess I better go,” I said, standing up.
“Wait,” Nick said, grabbing my hand and pulling me close to him. Without giving me a chance to protest, he gently leaned in and kissed me. I felt myself beginning to cry as he pulled away and moved the hair out of my face. I held back the tears as he said goodbye and I walked across the street, back to the car. I gave my aunt and uncle a hug and said goodbye, then sat in the backseat as we backed out and drove down the street. Nick was at his front door and waved to me. I waved back and felt my phone vibrate again.
Nick: don’t cry, its okay :)
That didn’t stop me. I quietly balled my eyes out in the backseat with my head leaning against the window.
“Aw yes, I love you too,” Courtney said over the phone, probably to her boyfriend. She barely noticed Shea, sitting between us, crying and screaming. I picked him up out of the car seat and held him on my lap. I picked up the bottle of milk from the cooler and started to feed him. He was silent and asleep after that. Sometimes I thought I was a better mom then Courtney was. I don’t see how she still had a boyfriend after getting knocked up. Whatever, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that I was about to start a fresh life in California. As excited as I was, I would miss everyone so much. Especially Nick. Considering I told him almost a year ago that I didn’t like him and never would, missing him hurt even more than I thought it would. And boy, did I make a huge mistake by saying that. We drove for days and days but in no time, we were home. My new home. It wasn’t as big as I wished it was, but it was still pretty big. I walked inside and went upstairs into what was going to be my new room. It had a window with the view of the ocean and was just way more beautiful than I thought it’d be. Thank god it was summer because I was looking forward to hanging out at the beach all day long. I quickly ran out to the backyard and saw our lawn. It was huge. Big enough for me to put up a volleyball net, just like I wanted. And then, right behind our backyard was the beach. The sand was so white, with no stones or pebbles in it. Thank god, because that’s a total turn-off for me. I walked back to the front of the house and helped my parents unpack. It took almost 2 hours, but when we were finally done, it actually felt like home. I was exhausted, but I had to go down the beach. I went into my room and picked out my bathing suit and put it underneath my clothes. I also took off my boots and put on purple flip flops to match my bathing suit. I grabbed my cell phone and quickly straightened my hair, then walked to the beach. I went over to the water and stuck my feet into the clear blue Pacific ocean. Just as I went to stand up, I got wacked in the back of the head by a Frisbee.
