Smile

Nineteen

"How'd you even stab yourself with a stick?" My mom asked wrapping my hand.

I looked over her shoulder at a smirking Summer. "Um, I'm not sure it all happened so quick."

She looked back at Summer. "Mhm," she finished wrapping my hand, "you sleeping with Travis and I again?"

Should I? I don't want to make things awkward for Vanessa but, I'd prefer to sleep in a bed.

"Nah I'm good," I said, "where is everybody by the way?"

"Outback." She yawned.

"And Travis?" I asked.

She nodded. "He's out there with them."

"I'm assuming your the only one inside because you're tired." I raised a brow.

"Y/nn this is going to be the only week I can actually sleep peacefully for a long time to come so, I'm taking every chance I can to rest, plus it's already 10." She kissed my forehead. "Now go have fun, goodnight you two." She said walking out of the bathroom.

I'm happy she can finally relax and not worry but, we'll be back to our normal lives soon and, it sucks knowing she's going to have to go back to living in constant fear. My heart dropped at the thought of what could happen when we all go back. Will my "dad" be so pissed that he tries to...let's just enjoy this week of freedom.

I get snapped out of my thoughts when Summer walks towards me. I jumped off the counter and wrap my arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around my neck. "Penny for your thoughts?" She asked.

I shook my head. "Just thinking about how embarrassed I'll be if you tell everybody I cried."

She threw her head back laughing. Her laughs contagious and causes me to smile. "You were perfectly fine on the ride over but as soon as you saw your mom you burst out crying."

"Seeing my mom was like having someone ask you what's wrong when you're trying not to cry, as soon as someone ask that it's over," I chuckled, "you better not tell anybody."

"We'll see how I feel," she smiled, "but, that was the cutest shit ever." She pinched my cheeks.

I smacked her hands away. "Stop it Winter."

"Stop it Winter." She mocked me pinching my cheeks harder.

I pushed her away by her waist making her drop her hands. "Don't make me beat you up with my bad hand."

She giggled. "Are you threatening me?"

"Obviously, you're tarnishing my reputation by pinching my cheeks." I pouted.

She shook her head. "What reputation."

"They don't call me Thuggy Y/n for nothing." I shrugged.

"Oh no bébé," she snorted, "you're far from a thug." She turned and walked out of the bathroom.

"That's what you think!" I yelled following her out the bathroom and down the stairs.

I heard her giggle as she walked out the back door. I smiled to myself replaying her laugh in my head. She always closes her eyes when she laughs which makes her 10 times cuter. I honestly loved making her laugh, it's the best sound ever.

Walking out the door I saw everybody doing their own thing. Zayn and Gigi we're walking away from the group, Jasmine was chasing my brother around, and Quincy, Vanessa, and Summer we're sitting on the sand talking.

I walked towards them and sat next to Summer throwing my arm over her shoulder.

"Look at you two love birds." Quincy cooed.
