WRITING WRITING WRITING! :D
Why, hello there!
My name is... well, I'm not going to tell you. Why? Because this account is gonna stay anonymous for me. I have a quote account on Witty, but this is my story account. So, speaking of stories...
The Summer of my Life is my story that I am currently writing! I would absolutely love for you guys to read it and give me some feedback? Reading and writing are things that I love to do, and one day I want to be an English teacher.
In case you were wondering, I'm 14 years old, and I'm going to be a freshman in high school. Scary stuff right there: highschool. Shudder.
There are so many great writers on Witty, honestly... it's incredible how talented these girls are. If you're still reading, thanks for listening to me rant.

The Summer Of My Life

I'm  going out of town (actually, out of the country!) tomorrow, and won't be able to write. I get back on the 15th of August, so I will be able to continue my story then! I'm so sorry, but thank you so much for reading! I love you guys! :)

     "Woah!" I exclaimed, as I slammed into a hard body. I felt arms quickly wrap around my waist to keep me from falling, and I looked up to meet deep, blue eyes staring back at me. Liam.
     "Hi, baby." He said, tightening his arms around my waist to keep me from slipping.
     "What are you doing here! I thought you were gonna be at the beach until 3..." I slipped my arms around his neck.
     "Blake found a girl to hang out with, and I didn't really feel like being a third wheel." He shrugged, and flipped his hair out of his eyes. "Besides, I'd rather be alone with you for awhile." He leaned down and softly kissed me, and I smiled.
     "Well then, what would you like to do now?" I questioned, taking his hand and leading him back into my house.
     "Why don't we go downstairs and watch a movie?" He offered, opening my front door for me. We walked into the foyer and he closed the door softly behind us. "Go downstairs and pick one out, I'll get us something to eat."
     I nodded in agreement, and opened the door to go down to the basement. We had a home theater there, because Aunt Carolyn loved movies, and watching them with family and friends. I walked to the bookcase that held her wide array of movies, and started skimming through it. I ran my eyes over the Titanic, and slid it out of the case. 
     After slipping the movie into the DVD player, I plopped down on the couch in front of the TV. I heard Liam's feet softly padding down the stairs, and turned to see him entering the room. He had a bowl of popcorn in his hand and two cans of Coke. He set them down on the table, then came around and sat down next to me. He pulled a blanket around the two of us.
     "So what are we watching today, baby?" He asked, sliding his arm around my shoulders. I placed my head on his shoulder, and sighed.
     "The Titanic. I absolutely adore this movie." He fake groaned, and threw his head back.
     "No action thrillers or scary movies? Come on!" He complained. I punched his arm lightly, and gave him a look. He shut up after that. I hit play, and the movie started.
     About half an hour into the movie, I guess Liam got bored, and started messing with me. He pulled me to sit on top of him, with my back to him so I was still facing the television. He wrapped his arms low on my waist, and goose bumps ran up my arm. I tried to stay concentrated on the movie, but it was hard when I was on Liam's lap.
     "You're distracting me, you know." I stated, as Liam ran his lips up and down my neck. He chuckled, and I felt his hot breath on the nape of my neck.
     "How many times have you seen this movie, baby? You know you know every line backwards and forwards." He murmured, running his hands across my exposed stomach. My heart quickened with his touch.
     "And your point is...?" I turned my head, so my forehead was pressed against his. He stared at me a moment before responding.
     "You should let me distract you for a little." Before I could protest, he pressed his lips against mine.

     Once Blake and Liam left for the afternoon, I had the house to myself. I ran upstairs after cleaning off the dishes to take a shower. I slipped on a pair of cut-off denim shorts, and a crop off-the-shoulder shirt that came down to right about my pierced belly-button. I blew my hair dry and left it natural, and applied foundation, powder, eye shadow, and mascara. I looked in the mirror after I put on lip-gloss, and smiled at my reflection, satisfied.
     I started emptying the few boxes that were scattered around in my room, pulling out odds and ends and finding places for them in my room. I pulled out a picture of me and my best friend, Grant, from back home. It was from earlier this year, and we had just got home from the beach. His mom stopped me before I could leave and begged for a picture, "to remember my second daughter", she had said. She sent me a copy before I left for Aunt Carolyn's, and I had stuck it in a frame. I placed it on my bed side table, and swallowed the lump in my throat.
     After I finished emptying the boxes, I broke them down and carried them outside for the garbage to pick up. As I was walking by up the driveway, I heard a voice calling my name. I turned around, and saw Mary walking across her yard towards me. I walked towards the fence, and waited for her to meet me.
     "Hi, sweetie! What're you up to?" She asked, leaning over the fence to quickly kiss my cheek.
     "Oh, nothing really, just emptying the rest of my stuff to my room," I replied, smiling. "What about you?"
     "Cleaning up a bit, Liam is such a slob." She joked. I laughed along with her, my heart leaping when she mentioned Liam. She noticed my face go red at the mention of his name.
     "Speaking of Liam..." she started. "You two are an item now, huh?"
     I smiled. "Yes, we are."
     "I'm so glad, dear. You're a wonderful girl and I'm sure he's happy." She gave me a smile, and patted my hand that was placed on the fence. "Where is he, by the way?"
     "At the beach with Blake. He ditched me." I fake pouted, and she bursted out laughing.
     "Of course he did, that little brat." She chuckled. "When will he be home? I needed to talk to him about some baseball stuff that came in the mail."
     "He said he'd come home when Blake started work, which is at 3."
     "Alright, darling. Well, I'll be heading back home, send him over when he gets back to your house, will you?"
     "Of course!" I responded, leaning across the fence to give her a quick hug. She squeezed her arms around me tight, kissing my forehead lightly before pulling away.
     "Thanks, sweetie. I'll see you later!" She turned around and walked back up to her house. I turned to do the same, but crashed into something - or rather, someone - before I could get any further.

     I woke up to the warmth of sun shining on my face. I groaned, stretching my arms above my head, rolling over onto my back. I squeezed my eyes closed, and suddenly everything from last night came back to me: the date, Liam coming home, him being in my bed... I shot up, reaching out to find an empty space next to me. 
     I got up out of bed, stretching once more before stepping out of my room to go downstairs. I padded down the steps and into the kitchen, where I found Blake and Liam eating pancakes at the counter with Aunt Carolyn at the stove.
     "Goodmorning, sleepyhead," Blake said, shoving another pancake lathered in syrup into his mouth. 
     "What time is it?" I mumbled groggily, sliding over to sit next to Liam. He pulled out the stool for me, and I climbed on.
     "11:00am. We've been up for two hours." Liam replied, looking down at me and smiling. I returned the grin, and turned to look at Aunt Carolyn.
     "Goodmorning, Aunt Carolyn," she came around the table and gave me a quick hug and  a peck on the head. "Where are you going?" She was already dressed and showered, her makeup neatly applied to her face.
     "Work. I took some time off to see you kids, but now I have to start going back in today, so you guys will be on your own today. Alright?"
     "Sounds fine to me," we all replied. Aunt Carolyn slid a plate of pancakes in front of me before grabbing her keys and purse.
     "Sorry to run out on you kids, but I have to get going. I'll come home for lunch around two, alright? Mary is home today if you need her, love you!" She ran out the door as she finished talking, and I heard her car starting up in the garage. The floor rumbled as she opened the garage door and pulled out of the driveway, speeding away towards town.
     "So what are we gonna do today?" I asked, cutting my pancakes up into neat squares.
     "Well, me and Liam wanna go down to the beach, I have to lifeguard at 3." Blake stood up to put his empty dish in the sink.
     "Like, a boys-only day?" I whined, sitting back in my chair. Liam laughed, and leaned down and kissed my forehead before getting up to return his dishes to the sink as well.
     "If you don't mind, baby. Me and Blake just want to chill for a little, I'll come back when he start life-guarding. Is that okay?" He looked worried, and I smiled.
     "It's fine, don't worry about it! I'll go shopping or something." I quickly finished the last of my pancakes, and stood up to put them in the dishwasher.
     "I'm taking a shower, then we can get ready to go, man." Blake said as he walked out of the kitchen. "Be ready in half an hour."
     I stood at the sink, and started rinsing the dirty dishes. I felt strong hands wrap tightly around my waist, and I felt Liam's warm breath run down my neck.
     "Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with you today?" He questioned, his fingers lightly playing with the hem of my pajama shirt.
     "I'll be fine, really. Go have fun with Blake." I replied, turning around and leaning up against the counter. I leaned into him and pecked his lips, pulling away after a couple of seconds.
     "You know, I had a lot of fun last night..." Liam trailed off, whispering in my ear. I grinned, and chuckled.
     "Me too, I had a good time."
     "We should maybe try that again some time?" He pleaded, giving me a hopeful look.
     "Of course." I answered, laughing under my breath as I finished rinsing. "Go upstairs and get ready, goof." He leaned down and kissed me once more, his lips lingering against mine before he pulled away and walked towards the door to go back to his house.
     "See you in a bit, babygirl." He yelled over his shoulder as he walked out the door.

The night flew by quickly, and soon it was 11:30pm. Liam had taken me out to a nice Italian restaurant on the boardwalk, and we ate out on the patio, joking and talking. He held my hand the whole time, making me blush like crazy. After we had finished eating, we went down to the end of the boardwalk, where they had carnival games and a few rides arrayed. We played a few games, and Liam won me a stuffed panda.
     "What's your middle name, Liam?" I had asked after he won me the stuffed animal.
     "Michael. Why?" He asked, amusement on his face.
     "That's my new pandas name!" I replied, and he cracked a grin, grabbing my hand and squeezing tightly. We had gone on the ferris wheel, going around a few times. By the time we got off, we realized what time it was.
     "Crap, Abbs, it's 11:30." Liam said as we walked back down the boardwalk.
     "Oh gosh, it's late. I didn't realize." I said sleepily, dragging a little behind Liam. He stopped at the edge of the boardwalk, waiting for me. Once I caught up, he turned to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning down. I stood up on my tiptopes and pecked his lips, and I felt him smile. I leaned my forehead against his, lightly kissing his noes.
     "I had a lot of fun tonight, thank you." I said simply.
     "Me too. I'm glad you let me take you out." He smiled.
     "Why wouldn't I?" I questioned, confused.
     "I don't know, got cold feet or something..." He said nervously, looking down. I took my finger and lightly pulled his face back to mine.
     "I would never blow you off, silly." I kissed his cheek, and pulled away. He sighed, and gave me a smile.
     "Let's get you home, baby girl." He said softly, starting to walk again.
     "Liam?" I called.
     "Yes, love?"
     "I'm really tired." I yawned, rubbing my eyes. I squeezed my panda against my chest, the heaviness of sleep threatening to wash over me. 
     He grinned, chuckling softly to himself. "Come here, sweetie." He said sweetly, turning around and putting his arms back, offering me his back for a ride. I ran over to him and jumped on, and he stood up with ease and started walking.
     I leaned around Liam and put my lips against his neck, right under his ear. "Thanks, boyfriend."
     "Anytime, girlfriend."
     We continued walking in silence, and I leaned my cheek on his back. His slow steps and gentle breathing calmed me, and before I knew it, my eyes were closing.
     I felt him whisper my name, but I was too tired to answer. I could feel his back rumble as he laughed. He somehow got me off his back and carried me bridal-style in his arms, and I latched my arms around his neck. In my sleepy-haze, I reached up and planted my lips against his neck, kissing him softly. His arms tightened behind my legs and back, and he leaned down and lightly brushed his lips against mine. I rested my head against his shoulder, and he kept on walking. 
     We got back to my house soon, and he stopped at my door.
     "Baby girl, you're home, I have to go." He whispered, starting to put me down. I tightened my hands around his neck, and groaned.
     "Please carry me upstairs?" I asked, pleading. He sighed, and suddenly my front door flew open.  I opened my eyes slightly, and saw Blake. I closed my eyes again, and heard Blake and Liam start to whisper.
     "Hey man, what happened to her?"
     "Nothing, she's just tired. She has her arms locked around my neck, so I can't really do anything about this right now."
     "I'll call your mom, man. Stay here for the night, it's late, I'll give you stuff to change into."
     "Really? Thanks a lot, man. I wanna get her upstairs, she's falling asleep again." I felt him step into my house and start up the stairs. I buried my face in his chest, not wanting to let him go. We got to the top floor, and I heard Blake following us. We walked into my room, and Liam gently tried to put me down on my bed. "I'll be right back, baby, okay?"
     "No, stay with me." I mumbled, still holding on to his neck. He chuckled, and I felt his heart speed up. "I'm coming right back, okay? I'm just going to change, then I'll come lie down with you."

     "UGH!" I screamed, standing in my closet. I had half an hour before my date with Liam, and I had nothing to wear. "THIS FREAKIN' SUCKS!"
     "Woah there, sis, let's keep this G-rated." Blake joked, walking into my room. He sat on my bed, and looked at me. "What's the matter? Don't you have your date tonight?"
     "Yeah, and I have nothing to wear!" I whined, putting my face in my hands. "I'm stressing out, big-time."
     "I can tell. Seriously though, don't worry about it. He likes you a lot, we're texting right now. There's no need to be worried." His phone buzzed on his knee, and he looked at it, quickly typing a reply to who I assumed was Liam. He chuckled, sliding his phone shut.
     "What is so damn funny?" I asked, getting annoyed. I went back to looking through my clothes, and pulled out a patterned high-waist skirt and tossed it on my floor.
     "Chill, seriously. I'm just laughing at something this girl said, okay?" Blake said, and he started blushing. I grabbed a light purple tank top and my gold gladiators, and stepped into my bathroom, changing quickly. I walked back into my room, and turned to Blake.
     "What girl?" I asked, suddenly interested. I didn't know he knew any girls here.
     "Wow, Abbs. You look amazing." Blake said quickly, changing the subject. I looked in the mirror, and smiled. The skirt outlined my small waistline, and made my legs look longer. The light purple tank made my tan glow, and the shoes tied the whole outfit together.
     "Thanks, bro." I said, putting my hand against his cheek as I walked by to finish my makeup in the bathroom.
      "Hey, Abbie?" Blake asked nervously.
      "Yeah?" 
      "How do I get a girl to like me?" 
      I stopped applying my mascara, and stuck my head out of my bathroom. Blake was looking down, tracing patterns in my carpet with his foot. He looked up at me, and I saw desperation in his eyes. "Don't laugh, please. I just... I really like this girl."
     "Be yourself. Treat her with respect, make her laugh. Do things to make her smile. Don't act cocky, but have confidence. Flirt." I replied, giving him a look before I went back into the bathroom. "Is this the girl that you and Liam were talking about when I was asleep?"
     "You were listening?" He asked, surprised.
     "Yeah, I can sleep and eavesdrop," I joked. "Just... don't hurt this girl, okay?" I warned, spritzing on perfume and swiping on lipgloss before walking out of the bathroom. I twirled, and posed for Blake. "How do I look?"
     He didn't say anything for a minute, and I got nervous. I rubbed my arm with my hand, running my fingers over the scars on my wrist. He gave me a look, and I stopped. "You look absolutely flawless, Abbs. Honestly, he's lucky to have you." He got up, and gave me a quick hug. "And hey, I would never think of hurting her. Ever." He said, squeezing his arms tightly when he said ever.
     "You better bring her home to meet me soon," I joked, poking him in the chest. "I need to make sure she's good enough for my brother!"
     He laughed, and when he looked back at me, I saw happiness in his eyes. "You'll meet her soon, okay?" The doorbell rang, and I gasped quickly. I looked back in the mirror, and stared at myself. I felt Blake's hand touch my back.
     "I'll get the door, okay? You look amazing. Go get him, kid." He walked out of the room, and I heard his feet hitting the stairs as he approached the door. I took a deep breath, straightening my skirt and giving myself one last look in the mirror. Relax; it's one date with your boyfriend.
    
I heard Liam's voice, and my stomach jumped. I smiled, and walked out of my room and down the stairs. I saw Liam standing in the doorway, and when he saw me, his eyes lit up. He was wearing khaki shorts and a blue and white striped button-down that brought out his eyes. He had a single rose in his hand. I walked up to him, and gave him a hug. "Hi," I whispered, and I felt his hands tighten around my waist.
     "You look... wow, just... wow. You look incredible, Abbs." He whispered, and Blake grinned, hearing him.
     "Have fun, you guys." He said, giving me a last parting smile before walking back upstairs. Once he left, I turned to face Liam.
     "You don't look too bad yourself." I joked, and he chuckled.
     "For you, pretty girl." He handed me the rose, and I fingered it softly. "It's gorgeous, thank you so much." I said. I placed it on the table by the door. I felt Liam grab my hand, and tug lightly on it.
     "Ready to go?" He smiled down at me, and I felt the butterflies in my stomach multiply.
     "Of course." I replied, and we walked out to the street.

     "What is this, now?" Mary asked as we walked into the kitchen. She was looking at me and Liam, who now stood behind me with his arms loosely around my waist. I leaned on him, and felt his arms tighten.
     "Abbie is my girlfriend, Mom," Liam said, smiling. "I really like your daughter, Auntie Carolyn."
     Aunt Carolyn smiled, and I looked up at Liam, confused. "I call her Auntie because her and my mom are so close." He explained. I nodded slightly, understanding now.
     "I knew it!" Aunt Carolyn exclaimed, looking at Mary. "I knew he liked her!" She claimed.
     "I know, it was so obvious." She replied, looking at us with happiness glowing in her eyes.
     "Okay, okay, seriously, we can stop talking about this now." Liam said, standing up straight. He took his arms from my waist, and I whimpered in protest. He chuckled softly, glancing down at me.
     "How was shopping?" Blake asked, sitting at the barstools that lined the counter.
     "It was great! We got a lot of stuff, it was fun!" Mary replied, leaning against the refrigerator she was putting groceries into. "I'm pooped, though."
     "Let's head home, kiddos. We're all tired here, I need to go home and take a nap before dinner." Aunt Carolyn said, giving Mary a quick hug before walking towards the door.
     "I'm taking Abbs out tonight,  Mom." Liam said, grabbing my hand. "If that's okay."
     "Sure, hunny, that's fine!" She replied, coming towards us. "Look at my son, growing up so fast." She pinched his cheeks, and he jumped back.
     "MOM, seriously? Come on!" He whined, dodging her as Mary came at him again. I laughed, walking towards the door. 
     I heard footsteps come from behind me, and before I could turn around, stronger hands were going around my waist, stopping me.
     "I'll pick you up at 7, okay?" Liam said, resting his chin on my shoulder.
     "Sounds good, what should I wear?" I asked, stepping out of his embrace to face him.
     "Whatever you want, something casual. Come here." He said softly, opening his arms for a hug. I stepped into them, wrapping my arms around his neck. He kissed the top of my head, and rested his cheek there for a moment before pulling away.
     "Seeya, man." Blake said, punching Liam lightly in the arm. Liam nodded at him, giving him a goofy face.
     "Bye, baby." Liam said, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.
     "Bye Liam, see you at 7!" I replied before walking out of his house and back towards mine to get ready for my date tonight.
