Chapter Seven
It's been three weeks now since Ryan and Chris left for this work trip and they still weren't home. I haven't seen them since they left all that time ago. I have spoken to Ryan though, but not Chris. Bryce is still around, he and Kayla are back together, they're a sweet couple. Me and Amber are very close friends now which is cool and we hang out pretty much every day!
'Tracy, come on, you'll be late for meeting the girls! You can take Chris' hummer today!' Sue shouted up the stairs.
YES!
I get to take the Hummer. Probably because it's my turn to pick every one up, but oh well.
'Ok, Sue!' I yelled back.
Jumping out of bed and running to my closet. Grabbing my black skirt, sleeveless emo top, and knee high white chucks. I got dressed and did my hair and make up. I was done. I ran out of the room to the bath room and when i was done in there, I headed down to the kitchen.
It was mega quiet here over the past few weeks, even more so over the last week or so. Jess and Bryce had flown out to meet the guys, So it was just me, Sue and Don at home.
'Morning!' I said happily, they looked up and smiled. I sat next to Don at the table. Sue put a plate full of food down in front of me.
She's so sweet.
'Thanks Sue' she nodded and sat down.
I loved these guys, they were honestly the sweetest people I'd ever met in my whole life.
'So, your parents phoned this morning to talk to you' I looked up at her.
Oh s**t. She smiled. 'Why didn't you tell us it's your birthday tomorrow?'
'Because, its not important. Its fine, really' I told her with a smile and looked down. She reached out and grabbed my hand. I looked up at her. She raised her eyebrows. 'Im...I should get my ass in gear, they're all probably waiting for me' she nodded and past me the hummer keys. I smiled and said good bye to them before leaving the house and getting in the car, and went to pick every one up.
Once every one was in, we headed into town. When we pulled up, the place looked empty and the car park was deserted.
'Did we miss a memo or some thing?' Amber asked, looking around the car park. 'What the f**k is going on'.
'I dont know, come on, let's go and find out' we all nodded at Kayla's suggestion and got out and headed towards the shopping centre. The doors were locked but Kayla spotted a note on the door saying the whole place was closed because of burst water pips.
That's weird.
'Ok so, no shopping, what do you guys wanna do?' I asked. Like i didn't know the answer already.
'Skate park or your house?' Amber suggested. We all thought about it for a minute.
'Well, Chris has his own ramps and he's got a pool. Lets go to mine if you want?' they both nodded We all ran back to the hummer and we headed back home.
We walked into the kitchen, Sue and Don weren't there. That's weird.
We stopped at the girl's houses before we came back here so they could pick up their swimming stuff. I went to my room, Amber went to the bath room and Kayla went to Bryce's room to get changed before we met on the landing and grabbed a few towels before we headed down to the pool.
'Hey, where are Sue and Don?' I shrugged my shoulders.
We've been hanging in the pool, listening to music and just chilling for a while and Sue and Don have yet to show up. I guess they went out then or some thing...
'Anyone wan-'
'AHHHHHHHHH!!!' I was cut off, my Amber's, Kayla's and my own screaming when all of a sudden some one jumped into the pool, splashing us, followed close behind by a bunch of others.
'Hello ladies' he smiled. I smiled and swam over to hug him. Kayla went over to hug and kiss Bryce.
'I missed you, Uncle Ryan!' I told him as i hugged him tightly. He hugged me back.
'I missed you too. How have you been?' he asked.
'Great. Sue and Don have looked after me. How was the work thing?' every one laughed.
'Boring, let's just leave it at that'
'Ok. im going to get a drink, any one want one?' i asked. Every one nodded. I grabbed a towel and quickly dried myself before going into the house. I headed over to the fridge, getting the drinks and putting them on the side.
'So, It's you're birthday tomorrow?' some one whispered in my ear.
'yeah Chris, It is'. I said simply and grabbed a bunch of the drinks and headed outside, then coming back for the rest of them.
'You gotta talk to me at some point Tracy' I blanked him and went back out.
'So, you two gonna break apart at some point?' i joked with Kay and Bryce. as i sat down on one of the chairs by the pool...
'you are just jealous' Kayla giggled but pulled away from her boy friend's lips any way. I faked offence and gasped. 'Im only joking babe'
'I know' I smiled at her. Suddenly, every one looked behind me smiling. As i was about to turn, I was air borne and heading for the pool, with somegone's arms wrapped around my waist. 'WHAT THE FU-'
I didn't get to finish my sentence before i hit the water. Their arms were still around me as we hit the bottom of the pool and started floating back up to the suffice. Every one was laughing at us. I had no problem working out who it was. and i was far from happy.
'What's your problem!' I yelled at him. Then he surprised me by pulling me to him and kissing me in front of every one, including uncle Ryan.
We stayed like that for a while until some one made a noise and we broke apart. Every one was looking at us.
'um...what the hell?' Amber asked with a giggle. I looked at Chris and then at Ryan.
'Well, its about time!' Ryan joked. I just looked at him.
'what?' i was beyond confused. What did Chris tell him when they were away?
'Its about time you guys told us you were together' Jess said.
'I didn't know we were together' I looked at Chris and he smiled 'Are we?' he opened his mouth to talk when a woman suddenly appeared in the back door way..
