Hi everyone thank you for reading my book so far and thank you for all the comments and the gems you have given my debut book. What do we all think of the New Year's Eve party so far? I do plan for more to go on during the party so I thought I'd wet your whiskers a little. Hope you are all enjoying it as much as I have writing it. Love you all.
As I sing this song, which I am surprised I know the words to it, I sing from the heart and my eyes do not leave Savannah’s. I am begging and pleading her through song to talk to me once I am finished. I just wished I had picked a shorter song. Meat Loaf’s songs are at least five minutes long at best, so I am hating myself for that. Finally, and I do mean finally the song comes to an end and the crowd erupts into applause. I look out at all the faces staring back at me one face in particular almost brings me to my knees. My mom. Mom is standing next to my father with his arm around her as she is wiping tears from her eyes with a tissue. Is she crying because of me? Another thought that flew through my head looking at my mom is, are those happy tears? I will have to find out later when I speak to her. Right now, I need to talk to Savannah. I keep tight hold of her hand, and we walk away from where we are standing, and I hand the microphone back to the DJ as he starts playing some mor
Savannah P.O.VThis kiss I am sharing with Chase feels different somehow. It feels like it means forever. The start of forever. I hope this is forever. When we break from our kiss, we sit there for a couple of minutes with me cuddled up in his arms and my head resting on his shoulder watching what we can see of the fireworks through the trees. This night might have started off as a shit show and could have possibly been the end of us, but it will end just as we both hoped it would. Perfect. Once the fireworks died down, we stayed sat in silence for a little while just taking in the beauty of our surroundings. Sitting here in his mom’s secret garden makes me think. Has he ever brought any other girls here or am I the first? “Sweetheart I can hear them thoughts running wild in your head. Stop them please I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is no.” I didn’t think that out loud again, did I? “No? No to what?” He couldn’t possibly know what I was thinking, could he? “No, I have
Waking up with a blanket draped over me and Chase’s arm is one of the best wake ups I could have had to start off the new year. Sitting up slowly I look around the room to see Chase is still asleep Greg and Jen are cuddled up together under a blanket asleep and the same goes for Selena and Lucas. Needing to use the bathroom I try and quietly pull out of Chase’s arms to fail and be pulled back into him as he snuggles up to me. I never thought Chase would be a cuddler never mind a snuggler. Laughing as Chase nuzzles into my neck, “What are you doing? I thought you were asleep,” I asked him. “I would have still been sleeping if the most beautiful woman didn’t wake up and move out of my arms where I was the most comfortable,” Chase says still sounding half asleep. “I didn’t want to wake you. You were so peaceful sleeping I didn’t want to disturb you.” “You may not have wanted to have disturbed him but you two have disturbed me with your cutesiness it’s early in the morning and you
Holiday season is now over, and we are now back in school feeling refreshed. Walking into school feels different somehow. It feels more calming and less intense, could that be possible? Thinking back to the day on the beach when I told my friends and Chase what I saw when I went home and why it took me a little longer to meet up with them than expected. Jen was in total shock, she couldn’t speak, and that’s a first for her to be like that to me. Selena wanted more details on how they met, was it love at first sight? Who said I love you first? More questions than what I wanted to know she asked. Greg asked if she was hot and that got him a punch in the arm by Chase and a smack around the back of the head by Jen. Lucas asked if I knew my dad could play the guitar and I told him I had an idea that he did but I didn’t know how skilled he was until I heard him play that song. Chase however left it short and sweet and asked if he was happy, and when I told him that he’s been the happiest I’
Lunch in hand, Selena and I start walking to the bleachers when Greg and Lucas catch up to us, and the four of us walk together the rest of the way. Jen and Chase are already sat up in the bleachers as we arrived. Lucas helped Selena up with her food and Chase came down to help with mine and we went and joined Jen and enjoy our lunch together. We joked around and had a good time just as we should do at our age because with this being our senior year we only have a short time together like this before we go our separate ways for college. Speaking of college, we all talked about where we have applied for and where we hope to go. Lucas has had a couple of calls from college scouts and Chase said he has had the same but the one he is hoping to hear from he has not just yet. Jen said she is wanting to do a couple of years in one college and then go to Harvard to study law as that is where she feels more passionate, and she gets to be part of the family business in some way or another. Greg
The school year is flying by. Finals are vastly approaching; concert rehearsals are in full swing and it’s almost time for prom season. Chase has been working hard at school and working harder with football. Right now, he has done all he can to impress the college scouts. We all have been working hard I’ve even seen Jen studying some pre law books and even reading about the LSATS. Selena went to some business seminars to see if that is truly the route she wants to go down after graduation. Lucas has been working just as hard if not harder than Chase with his school work and with football. Greg on the other hand has slacked off a little but he has already confirmed he has a secured place in college already. But which one? I don’t know. College acceptance letters should be coming in the post soon but how long after finals will they arrive? Hopefully not long as I believe they wait for finals and the final grades before sending out the letters. All this pressure can make or break some hi
Walking into the house I see Dad sat on the stairs with what looks like a photo album in his hand. I shut the door behind me and slowly approach him looking at the sad expression on his face as he stares at a photo in the book. When I got closer, he looked up at me with unshed tears in his eyes. When I asked him if everything was okay, he said that everything was fine and he was just living back in the past, and he showed me the page he was looking at in the photo album. It was Mom and Dad’s high school graduation. It was the picture of Mom with her diploma and then Dad with his diploma and under that was the picture of the two of them together. Dad told me the story about how him and Mom met in high school. Hearing what he said was almost a de ja vu. Mom bumped into Dad as she wasn’t watching where she was going, and Dad bent down to help Mom pick up her things and he said it was like love at first sight. We sat on the stairs for a few more minutes just talking and reliving the good
Three weeks later Tonight is prom night. The night all the senior girls look forward to the most. Don’t ask me about the guys some look forward to it for other reasons than what it means. The girls and I are getting ready together. We all booked to get our hair and makeup done at a salon today for tonight. We are sat in the chairs getting pampered away, a treat from Selena’s Abuela, as she said no Nieta of hers will not go to prom without having a beauty day at the salon. We all chose to have a French manicure and pedicure, to keep it simple. We also showed our makeup artists pictures of our dresses so they could do our makeup to match our dresses. Jen’s hair shaped her face beautifully. She had a volumized high ponytail with some hair extensions that matched her hair color perfectly with elegant curls and some curls framing her face. To finish the look off she had this black jeweled crystal hair clip she slid into the top part of the ponytail. Jen’s makeup made her look much older t
