I laughed as Grandma recalled the day when we got invited for dinner over our neighbors and the family started fighting while we were sitting at the table, “Yes. That was rather awkward”
“Your friend Edward is handsome? He’s such a decent boy and his voice, his height, he looks sporty.”
I looked at her, smiling, “He plays football, sometimes. And I know where you are taking this, Grandma.” After a moment of silence I continued, “He’s my best friend Grandma. We just had a silly fight while comi
Ed and I went over to Danny’s in the late afternoon while Anna and Andy gave company to Grandma. I was happy she could meet my friends. Grandma was enjoying their company and it seemed as if they were enjoying hers as well. It had been a long while since this house was so lively, since Grandma was so active and cheerful. I could tell that Ed was reluctant to go. Why though?“Behave” I whispered to Ed as I rang the bell.
It had been an hour since Grandma had collapsed. We brought her to the hospital and since then I have been striding near the door where Grandma was taken in. The more time passed, the more panic aroused within me. Why did she collapse? What happened? Is she sick? Or is it her age? The questions kept building inside me. I was tapping my thumbs together, impatiently. Anna and Andy were sitting on the chairs, looking at me, concerned. Ed had gone to bring us some juice.
Edwards POVI couldn’t sleep. Her face kept popping up in my mind. She did not deserve this. I had always seen her so happy, always smiling, laughing and always lively that it was so weird seeing dullness in her face, watching her cry. I never thought that I would see her cry. Not so soon at least.
Edwards POV: After the burial Dylan and Tim talked to us guys. Both of them were really nice. Both equally handsome and both were very elegant. One could easily tell they were brothers. I, for one, enjoyed talking to them.“So you
Lilly’s POV:I woke up, still feeling a little dizzy. I was beyond aggravated, planning schemes inside my mind on ways of killing that son of a bagel. My body felt weak but strong enough to punch that mustard fries. I went out when I heard Em’s voice from the lounge. “…thinking of canceling the reservation for Thursday,”
Duke, Ronny, Beth and Anna went to buy our beverages and eatables for the weekend. I let Em and Liv explore my closet so they were busy packing my clothes while Ed and Jack were watching television...together...which is really hard to come by. Meanwhile, Andy and I were washing my Jeep Cherokee Laredo model 2016.Since both of us were already soaked we threw a whole bucket on Anna and the others when they came back making them drip with water, too. That way we started a water fight. These guys...they really were making a great effort in keeping my mind off from everything.Duke and Andy's cars left for the Lake House twenty five minutes ago. I was sitting in my room and watching my thirteenth birthday picture. Both Grandma and I w
I got out of the car and took in the earthy scent. I looked around observing the landscape. The cars were parked away at a distance from the house. There was a clean stone path which led to the lush green grass. The house was in the middle. It wasn’t a cabin like most of the lake houses it was more towards the modern side. There was something about the house that called out to me. Perhaps the warmth that radiated from it, beckoned to me, or its grand solitiriness as it stood amidst those tall, heavenly, mixture of yellow, brown orange, maroon and green trees that touched the sky in silent adoration. It was indeed breath-taking. Apart from everything, the lake was crystal clear. Unlike the ones I had seen which were green and polluted this one was clear. The lake reflected the trees. The water flow was calm, serene.
The clock showed 1:03 am.Andy went to play the movie with an evil grin.Our sitting arrangement was like this; Anna and Andy were sharing the single sofa. Jack and Beth both lay on the couch. Apparently Livy was too scared so she sat between Ronny and Duke. Duke was on the right side of the long sofa’s hand rest. On the left was Em cuddling in with Ed. I was in the middle of Em and Ronny, sitting like a brave warrior, lone wolf.Andy sat in his place, Anna on his lap, hugging him as if she dare let go of him the Nun will take her soul. He played the movie.My heart
