It's late at night the moon the street lights shone brightly. I drove along Beach Rd we were a couple minutes away from the house and I felt the knot beginning to build. Just the thought that I would have to see Harry for the first time since that summer made me instantly queasy. I could see the oh so familiar house in the distance. The house where it all began.
"Jackson, wake up we're here." I said softly shaking his shoulder.
"Ugh, just let me sleep." He groaned.
"We are here." I repeated.
His eyes shot open and he instantly began to smile.
"Oh my gosh we are here!" He said excitedly.
"I know I just said that." I muttered.
I pulled into the stone driveway. Everything looked the same the crisp white shutters, the blue paint that was slightly peeling, and the old screen porch. I wonder if the screen door still squeaks? When Harry and I were 15 we snuck out late to go to our first party. Let's just say it didn't end well.
I parked my jeep and sighed.
"Get your bags." I told Jackson before he could run inside.
"Okay, fine." He said irritated.
I unpacked the car and grabbed the large suitcase and duffle bag I had packed. Erin was complaining about her feet hurting. My father was unloading her numerous bags and trying to soothe her.
I could hear Des's booming laughing from the driveway. I struggled trying to get up the stairs that led to the old screen porch. Then I heard the familiar squeak of the old door. My stomach literally turned inside out when I looked up.
"Let me help you with that." He said smiling.
He still had those deep dimples. He'd grown out his hair though and his eyes seemed to be a brighter shade of green. He had grown a lot taller and his voice had gotten a hell of a lot deeper.
"Uh... I got it." I stammered.
"No let me help you." He insisted reaching for my suitcase.
"It's find I got it." I said irritatedly.
"Okay..." He said sadly.
He didn't try to carry my luggage again but he did hold the door for me.
"Adrian, you look great." He said softly.
"Thank you." I replied.
"So how have you been?" He asked trying to make conversation.
Fucking horrible....
"Okay I suppose. How have you been?" I replied.
"Okay, I just really need this break. I mean the band and I have been touring nonstop for four years." He said.
"Yeah..." I said awkwardly.
"Are you okay you look upset?" He asked.
"I'm just a bit tired, wait til you meet Erin you'll see why." I said.
He laughed softly.
Maybe this summer will be okay after all?
