Summer Love
Where the sun rises
Aubrey’s point of view
“Sarah hurry up!” I shouted from the living room. I was all packed and ready to go to Malibu for the summer. I was going to spend four weeks in a beach house with my best friend Louise and my sister Sarah. Most girls would think it would be annoying to have your little sister with you on holiday but my sister was only one year younger than me so we were very close and similar. My dad had paid for us to rent the house and I was so excited to go. I had never been in America before so I was also a bit scared. I had just broken up with my boyfriend Adam. He was such an asshole and I was glad that I had escaped from him. He wasn’t worth it. He was violent and he didn’t really care too much about me so I was happy to get away from him and enjoy life as a single and free girl.
“Sarah come on or we will miss our flight!” I was starting to get annoyed that Sarah was taking a long time to get ready to go. My dad was waiting for us in the car to take us to the airport where Louise would meet us. We were starting on the university after the summer vacation and we were both going to study fashion. I was so excited; it had been my dream for as long as I could remember. Sarah finally made her way down to the living room with all of her stuff. We had so much luggage but we were also going to be away for a whole month so we needed a lot of clothes. My dad helped us carry our suitcases out to the car. My mum was in the hospital. She had cancer and had been sick for nearly six months but she was finally getting better. It had been very hard for Sarah and I. We visited her the night before we left and I couldn’t help but feel that I would never see her again. I lived with that fear every day. She was in my thoughts all the time.
“Are you ready?” my dad said and started the car. I looked out the window and took in the street, the house, everything. I was going to miss this place the next month. I was looking for an apartment in London with Louise but we hadn’t found the right one yet, so for now I still lived at my parent’s house.
“We’re here” My dad said and parked the car outside the airport.
“Already?” I was shocked that it had taken such a short amount of time to get there. It usually took much longer. My dad gave us our luggage and hugged both Sarah and I.
“I’m going to miss my two girls,” he said with a shaky voice.
“Dad, don’t cry or I’ll cry!” Sarah said and hugged him again. Sarah and I took out bags and went inside the airport to meet Louise. My dad didn’t leave until we were inside. I could even see that he waited a bit longer after we were inside.
“Louise! Over here” I yelled as I saw Louise standing alone. People turned their heads to me and looked at me like I was a mad person but I didn’t care. I had never been one of those who cared what other people think of me.
“Are you ready girls?” Louise shouted. I could tell that she was very excited. I was excited too, but I was nervous about the flight. I had never been on a plane without my parents so it was very scary, but I was just happy that I had Sarah and Louise by my side.
“Aubrey, are you sleeping?” Sarah said to me.
“I was.” I was annoyed by the fact that Sarah woke me up. We were 4 hours into our flight and there was still a long way to go.
“I’m sorry if I woke you up, I’m just so bored.”
“Couldn’t you have woken Louise up in stead?”
“Yes, but I chose to wake you up and be an annoying little sister” Sarah said and laughed.
“I’m going back to sleep. Please don’t wake me up again. Try and sleep yourself." I fell back to sleep and I slept for the rest of the flight. It was 3 am when we landed in Los Angeles and 1,5 hour drive was waiting for us. I’m happy that I wasn’t the one driving.
“Why did I sign up for this?” Louise asked as she started the car. She was so tired and didn’t want to drive the car. I wasn’t that tired since I had slept almost the entire flight over here but I didn’t have a license yet.
“Sorry hon, you’re the only one who can drive” I said and laughed. Sarah was asleep on the backseat because she wasn’t able to sleep on the plane. The car we had rented was huge. It was a typical American car.
“And we danced all night to the best song ever” the radio was playing One Directions new single ‘Best song ever’. It was the song of the summer. I wasn’t a massive fan on One Direction, but it was quite a catchy song, I must admit. I really wanted to sing along but I didn’t want to wake Sarah up.
“You like 1D?” Louise asked me and laughed a bit.
“No, I just like this song. It’s cool.”
“I’d jump on Harry any time” Louise said and laughed.
“Oh my god, Louise. You should wash your dirty mouth” I said and laughed.
“Shut. Up.” Sarah said from the backseat. She was really annoyed with Louise and I.
“We’re finally here!” Louise said and drove into the house’s garage. He house was huge. Bigger than I had ever dreamed of.
“This is amazing” I said and jumped out of the car. The front yard was beautiful. It was 4.45 am and the sun was about to come up. I could smell the ocean and I could hear the waves crashing on the beach. I opened the door and a beautiful sight hit me.
“Oh my god” I couldn’t help but scream out of pure excitement. I went outside to get my luggage and I was the first to choose which bedroom I wanted and I, of course, chose the master bedroom. It had it’s own bathroom with a massive bathtub. I threw myself at the bed and tried to fall asleep in order to beat jet lag but I failed to sleep so I decided to head down to the beach by myself. Louise and Sarah were both sleeping. I changed my outfit to a very summer-like outfit. I wore a pair of simple shorts and a cute top and flip-flops. I had my hair loose because I liked the feeling of the wind on the beach blowing my hair in every direction.
I sat in the sand and watched the sunrise. It was a beautiful sight and I enjoyed that moment to myself until a boy poked me on the shoulder and gave me a frightening.
“What are you doing here alone?” he said.
“Oh my god” I said and jumped up. I thought that I was completely alone.
“You scared me!” I said as I was trying to catch my breath. The boy had a cheeky smile on his face. The smile soon turned into a smirk. He looked me very deep in the eyes. His eyes were green and very beautiful. His beauty captivated me.
“I’m Harry” he said and reached out for my hand. It was only then I realized that it was Harry Styles from One Direction. I was a bit embarrassed that I didn’t realize that when I first saw him.
“I’m Aubrey. Nice to meet you, Harry” I said and shook his hand. He smiled at me and sat down in the sand and I joined him.
“What are you doing here alone?” He asked me, as he looked me deep in the eyes.
“I just got here today and I couldn’t sleep so I decided to watch the sunrise. What about you?”
“I just needed to be alone and this time of the day is the best to be alone.” I didn’t know whether to talk to him like I knew who he was or not.
“How come?” I asked him. I wanted to seem interested.
“I’m… Do you know who I am?” He asked me.
“I have an idea,” I said and he laughed at my comment.
“Then you know why” he said and looked me in the eyes and smirked but he quickly looked away. We sat next to each other and stared at the beautiful ocean.
“I have to go now, but can I have your number so I can get in touch with you? I would really like to see you again” Harry said as he gave me his phone so I could write my number.
“Thank you, I’ll text you so you have my number.” He sent me a text with a cute smiley and I saved his number. We both stood up and he looked me in the eyes once again.
“Bye, Aubrey” he said and left the beach. I stood there and looked after him. There was something about him and I wanted to see him again and find out more about him.
