Let Me Down...

When he realises he loves her, is it too late? Or can he get her back? Please R&R!

Being lonely hasn’t always been a problem for me, I fit in almost anywhere. I have a lot of friends, none of them are close friends but I do trust them.

I spend most of  my time with my family. I cherish my family, they won’t be here forever. I bake with my Nan, run the general store part-time with my Pop, shop with my Mum and have sleep over’s with my adorable 10yr old cousin, Alice.

Sadly my father passed away 3yrs ago in a car accident. He left us with all he owned, luckily the house was payed off and he had saved up a lot of money before hand.

I’m 17yrs old and my appearance is well, I can’t complain. I have big/bright green eyes, tangled/curly/blonde hair that only just reaches my mid-back. I’ve tried to get a tan but it’s no use, my fair skin is here to stay. I mostly wear short-shorts with random shirts. I only ever wear skirts or dresses on special occasions.

My cousins 11^th birthday is in just over 2weeks and I’ve been channelling the shops but I have had no luck finding anything she would be interested in. She is a girly girl but hates dolls, talk about confusing. Maybe she can come shopping with me, yeah that sounds great, good going me!

I exit the shop ‘Gurlstuff’ and head for my favourite milkshake store to get a drink for the drive home.

“Welcome to Milkshake Shack, what would you like?” a woman with bright, pink hair greeted me.

“Can I please have a Strawberry milkshake with an orange cutting?” I ask politely.

“Sure, won’t be a sec” she smiles.

I turn around and surely enough, the drink is already done. I gladly take it and pay. Before I leave, I make sure to tip the tip jar $15. I always do that when the people who serve you are friendly.

I exit the mall the shopping mall and look for my ‘baby’. ‘Baby’ meaning car, it’s little and slick but I tell you it wasn’t cheap.

“There she is” I spot my ‘baby’ and unlock it, trying not to spill my milkshake whilst jumping in the front seat.

I start her up and drive out of the car park, met with a busy road.

I hook my IPhone 4s to the stereo in the car and turn up my favourite song full blast.

I sing along to 'Carry You' by Union J.

I wind the windows down and let the breeze flow through my car.

“This is the life” I sigh happily, taking a sip of my milkshake.
