The Brady of It All.

*Drake's POV*
All night all I could think about were the words that would haunt me all day. 'Myra's childhood crush.'
Did she still have the crush? How long ago did it end? Do I need to be worried?
Just then the girls came upstairs.
"Good morning boys!" They all yelled.
Myra walked over to where I was laying and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Good morning handsome." she whispered in my ear.
We all gathered around their kitchen table.
"So whose ready for Milly Hill today?" Hope asked.
Everyone was.
"I'm excited to hang out with Brady!" Micha yelled.
Myra's eyes shot up.
"Brady?" She asked. "What do you mean Brady?"
"Brady texted Nate last night and said he'd be there." Blake told her.
Her face lit up instantly.
Yeah, I was now worried.
*Myra's POV*
Brady was going to be at Milly Hill.
Brady Parker is the heart throb of this little Minnesota town.
He also happened to be my childhood crush and one of mine and my brothers very best friends. Which was why I was so excited to see him.
Take the word crush lightly. It was a small little flirtation-ship through middle school and picked back up after Dakota and I broke up, but not as much as before.
We had a lot in common when it came to music, books, movies, sports, just in general honestly.
But none of that even compares to the bond I have with Drake.
I sat there quietly and finished my breakfast.
"We should all probably go get ready." Nate said.
We all headed up to the rooms. The boys got ready in Nate's parents room. The girls in their room, and Nate and I in his room.
As he's getting ready in the bathroom "Excited to see Brady?" He asks.
"Well, yeah." I yelled back.
"What about Drake?" he asked.
"What about him?"
"He really likes you Myra. Don't do anything with Brady that you're going to regret OK."
"Nate what are you talking about."
"I know how the two of you are with each other My. I would just hate to see you throw something away for a guy from your past."
"Oh, so you like Drake now?" I asked.
"I get it Myra, I judged him wrong." He said as he walked out of the bathroom.
I was wearing my pink push up bikini underneath a pair of shorts with no shirt and my hair was straight. Light make up and a pair of black boat shoes that were downstairs.
"Since when?" he asked.
"Since when what?"
"Since when have you been comfortable just wearing a bathing suit top?"
"Since I was told I had nothing to be ashamed of." I said as he eyed the scar on my shoulder.
"Turn around." he said.
"Why?"
"Because I never really got to see them. Just let me see them."
I turned around so he could see the three large scars across my back.
"Do they ever hurt?" he asked.
"Sometimes. It's not the worst pain I've been in."
He just looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"How many times did he, you know?"
"Just the one time."
"I wish you would've told me My." he shook his head.
"I know. But, lets not do that today ok? Lets have fun!"
He smiled at me. "Of course."
We walked downstairs in to the living room.
I walked over to the door to pick up my shoes.
"Holy shit." Jordan yelled from behind me.
"What!" I yelled back.
"Your back.." He said back.
Blake nudged him.
'I have nothing to be ashamed of.'
'I have nothing to be ashamed of.'
'I have nothing to be ashamed of.' I said in my head repeatedly as I put my shoes on.
*Drake's POV*
"Worried?" Cooper asked as we were changing.
"Why would he be worried?" Blake asked.
"That Brady kid." Cooper said.
"He's got no reason to be worried. If Myra wanted to be with Brady she could've been a long time ago, or after her and Dakota broke up and they spent all that time together." Micha said.
Blake nudged him, "Shut up Mic. You really have nothing to worry about."
"Guys, I'm fine. I just didn't expect this trip to turn in to a meet the ex vacation." I said to all of them.
"Hey now, he's not technically her ex. If you end up meeting her actual ex, that's what's going to be a problem."
"Brady's actually a really good guy once you get to know him. He's a little cocky, but a good guy." Blake said.
"Huh, whose that remind you of." Jordan said looking at me.
"Ha, I guess My does have a type!" Micha said.
I just walked down to the living room and sat on the couch until we were ready to go. Everyone else slowly followed.
Nate and Myra then came walking down. My face felt hot.
She was beyond ready to leave. She looked great, but a little too great for just a trip up to camp.
That bikini made her tan pop, like really pop, and made her chest look twice as big. Her shorts were so tight that you could probably see a quarter in her pocket and tell if it was heads or tails. She turned around and out of nowhere.
"Holy." Jordan screamed.
Oh don't even say anything about the shorts.
"What!" she yelled back.
"Your back." he said.
Oh no.
Blake nudged him.
"Oh." she said.
We all just looked at her.
"Guys its fine. I expected something along the lines of it. Plus," she smiled at me "I have nothing to be ashamed of."
I smiled. It took me back to the day in her room before the party.
"Uh, are you sure that's what you want to wear My?" Micha asked.
"Yes, why? And why are you asking that, normally Blake does." she asked.
"Well, today I felt the need to ask." he said.
"We both did." Blake added.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" she asked.
"Can you hear us?" Blake asked.
"Yes?"
"Huh, that's shocking seeing as your boobs are jacked up to your ears." Micha said.
"I really cant stand you, either of you."
"Still think you should put something else on." Blake said.
"Still wearing what I want." She rolled her eyes.
"Alright come on, lets just go!" Hope yelled.
"Sounds like a good idea. Cars are Blake, Lilly, Cooper, Lexi, And Hope!" Nate says. "Then me, Myra, Drake, Micha, and I cant believe this I'm actually saying this, Jordan, and Natalie."
"You're god damn right Jordan and Natalie." She screamed running out to the car.
"I thought you said Heather was coming with us?" I asked.
"She is, she's meeting us there." He replied as we walked.
"Heather?" Myra asked. "Heather Bellcamp?" she laughed.
"Hot Heather Bellcamp." Micha said throwing his arm over Nate's shoulder.
"I get it, she was nerdy!"
We all got in the car and drove for what seemed like forever.
Myra had her legs draped over me in the very back of Nate's parents SUV. She had fallen asleep.
I slowly leaned forward.
"Nat." I whispered because Jordan was asleep on her shoulder.
"What?" she whispered back.
"This Brady kid, should I be worried?" I asked.
"Depends."
"On?"
"On if you're going to ask her to put a shirt on."
"What happened between them?"
"She'll never admit this, so you didn't hear it from me. But, Brady was her first actual love. We all figured she'd end up with either him, or --"
She was cut off.
"Or me." Nate said from the drivers seat. "And you're lucky she's a heavy sleeper. You two suck at whispering."
"Yeah, or him. But when everyone realized that My and Nate would only ever be friends. All of us assumed she'd start dating Brady when they got in to high school. But, then she met Dakota."
I got quiet.
"If it helps, Brady's her Sebastian." she said.
"Her what?" I asked.
"Oh Natalie don't start with that bullshit." Nate said.
"What the hell is a Sebastian?" I asked.
"OK, rule number one, catch up on your s*x and the City. Myra loves it. Two, Sebastian Kidd was Carries first love. But she doesn't end up with him. I think you're going to be her Mr. Big."
I had no clue what she was talking about. But, Big sounds to be good. So it did make me feel a little bit better.
"You might want to wake them up, we're going to be there in about 10 minutes." Nate whispered back to us.
We woke up Myra and Jordan just as we pulled up to two large campers.
Myra basically flew out of the car in to a large mans arms.
"Dad!" Myra yelled when she got to him.
"How ya doing squirt! We miss you most around our house!"
"Gee thanks Joe!" Blake went over to him as Myra hugged the woman next to him.
"How are you three! Are you behaving for your parents?" she asked.
"As much as we can Bren." Micha said hugging the older woman.
They turned to us. "And who are these three?" She asked gesturing Cooper, Jordan and I towards them.
"Mom, Dad, this is Drake, Jordan, and Cooper." She introduced us. "Guys, these are my second parents, well, Nate's parents, Brenda and Joe."
I remembered what Nate said and automatically held my hand out. "It's nice to meet you sir, My names Drake."
I noticed Myra motion Nate's attention toward his dad and I. He smiled and shook his head.
He took my hand and shook it.
"That's a hell of a shake boy. But you can drop the sir." he laughed. "My father was sir. You can call me Joe."
Just then Nate's mom came and hugged me. "And I'm Brenda, but you can call me Miss Bren or Mom. These three hoodlums call me mom."
She seemed sweet.
Just then I heard someone yell Blake and Micha's names.
He was a tall guy. He was actually a pretty stacked guy. In board shorts and a washboard stomach to match. Sandy brown hair.
He walked over and Blake and Micha dapped him up.
"Holy shit." Cooper said standing next to me with Lilly and Hope.
"Whoah, that's an attractive dude." Jordan said standing next to me with his arm over Natalie.
"So where is she?" We heard the boy ask.
Micha turned and pointed toward the back of the truck where Myra was getting things out.
"My!" He screamed over at her.
She turned around, smiled, and started running toward him.
She jumped in to his arms and wrapped her legs around him almost knocking him over. He embraced her in a hug.
"Nat." Jordan said worried.
"Is that," Cooper said in the same manner.
"Yup." Lilly said.
"That's Brady." Natalie told us.
My heart sunk. I got hot.
Brady.
