Hi guys, My name's Gia and I'm Jace's step-sister. For some reason, I can't log into my own witty, so I'm gonna post my story here because I really want you guys to read it so here it goes;
PROLOGUE
It's funny how one night can change everything. Something about the smell of ocean water
and greasy foods filling the air. Bright, flashing lights and people everywhere. Something about the sounds of boardwalk rides and waves crashing below. Something about the summer, and the way your life feels endless. Something about feeling as if anything is possible and summer will last forever. Or maybe, its all of that, rolled into one big storm cloud that strikes in one night and changes everything. Everyone can flash back and pinpoint the exact night when their lives were forever altered. That night was mine.
Can we fall, one more time, stop the tape and rewind. Oh, and if you walk away, I know I'll fade cause there is nobody else, it's gotta be you. On-
"Hello?"
Rolling out of bed, I grabbed my phone off my nightstand and sat up, while simultaneously pulling my glasses on.
"Morning sunshine. We still on for tonight?"
I glanced at the clock. Leave it to Gia to call me at eight a.m. to confirm plans that didn't begin for twelve hours.
"Of course." I said, pushing myself out of bed and making my way into the bathroom. Glancing in the mirror, I pulled my hair into a bun and sat on the edge of the sink while she rambled on about what to wear and her plan to insure we would get on all the rides at least one. Once she had finished and I had calmed her down enough to hang up, I left my phone on the sink before climbing into the shower.
Twenty minutes later, wrapping a towel around myself, I padded back into my bedroom and left my ipod on shuffle while I raided my closet for something I could wear to the boardwalk tonight. By the time I had finished, Same Mistakes was blasting through the speakers and Gia was laying on my bed singing along.
"Of course you can come over. Sure you can lay on my bed, no, don't be silly, I don't mind."
She rolled her eyes at my sarcasm as I pulled on a pair of black shorts and decided to pair them with a gray, cut off One Direction shirt and my black wedge flip flops. ( boarwalk_outfit/set?id=67100330)
"Mom's not home. Her cars gone and everything's off so she won't be back for a while, I took that as my cue to keep an eye on you."
Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. Straightening the locket my dad had given me just before he died, I shook out my natural waves before falling back on my bed next to Gia. "You look cute." She mumbled, not even bothering to open her eyes and look at me.
Closing my eyes, I rolled over and allowed myself to fall back into a world of dreams.
