Mila’s POV “Mila! Can you please help me with breakfast?” I heard my mother yell outside my bedroom door. I grunted as I slowly opened my eyes and reached for my phone that was on my nightstand. It was only 7:00 in the morning, Mom had probably just gotten back from her nightshift at the hospital. Mom was a nurse and worked endless hours to provide for my sister and I. As a single mom, she had to put in more hours than any other nurse just to meet ends meet. A silent yawn from the other side of the bed made me shriek in surprise! Who or what was in bed with me?! Tyler. “Ty! Wake up!” I whispered. We must have fallen asleep watching a movie last night. Tyler is my boyfriend. I’ve been going out with him for two years now, but i’ve known him my entire life. His sister Annie is my best friend, so we grew up close. Very close considering he lives next door. His beautiful green eyes flew open and looked at me in terror as he realized what had happened. My mother didn’t allow him to sleep over and he was too sweet to ever go against her wishes. “F**k! Is your mom home from work yet?” He asked as he hopped out of bed and frantically looked for his shoes. His usually neat auburn hair looked disheveled and his clothes were wrinkled from having slept in them. I scooted to the end of my bed and got up on my knees as I pulled him closer to me and ran my fingers through his soft ginger hair. “Don’t worry Ty, she just got home and she has no clue you’re here.” He sighed as he grabbed my small waist to pull me even closer to him. He tenderly brushed a loose strand of hair behind my ear as his lips touched mine in a soft kiss. “I should go before we get caught. Your mom will never let me in your bedroom again if she knows I slept here!” He said as he sat down next to me to put on his sneakers. “Fine. You should probably go get ready for school anyways. You wouldn’t want to be late for Mrs. Spit’s class.” I said in a passive aggressive tone. Was I not sexy enough for him? It seems he was always coming up with a reason to not touch me. I walked into my closet and grabbed a pair of jean shorts along with a graphic tee. Tyler walked up behind me and put his arms around me, hugging me while he rest his chin on my shoulder. “Ah come on Mila, Mrs. Pitt doesn’t spit that much. Well, I guess it helps that I sit in the last row.” He laughed as I giggled. I really couldn’t stay mad at his cute face for too long. “Ughh sorry Ty. You know how moody I am in the morning.” I said as I pecked his cheek and walked out of my closet to my bedroom window. I opened it and waved my hand signalling him to climb out. “Alright! I’ll see you after school, want me to pick you up for work?” He asked as he put one leg out of my window and sat there looking at me with his gorgeous green eyes. “No it’s ok, I start earlier today. I asked Mark to give me more hours since I’m already done school.” I replied. Tyler and I are both 18 and seniors in highschool but I finished a couple weeks earlier because I only had the work experience program in my last semester and I had done my last shift at the hospital with my mom last week. “Alright. I’ll see you at the beach then. Wear something cute!” He said as he winked at me and jumped out of the window. I rolled my eyes as I shut the window. I guess we’re kinda lucky that my window is about six feet off the ground and Tyler stands at 6’1. I live in a three bedroom bungalow with my mom and my younger sister Nora. My father had bought this house for my mother, he surprised her with it on their wedding night. He was such a romantic, he loved my mom hopelessly, he couldn’t keep his hands off of her. My sister and I used to squeal and cover our eyes when he caressed her or chased her around the house but now I would give anything to see my parents happy together again.. I guess I should get ready and go help my mom with breakfast. Lazily, I undressed from yesterday’s clothes and put on my shorts and t-shirt. I opened the door to the bathroom I share with my sister and see her painting her face with too much makeup. Ugh..She’s a natural beauty. I don’t understand why she wears all this crap. “How’s the little w***e this morning?” My sister asks me with a smirk on her face. “Why the f**k would you call me a w***e, Nora?!” She knows not to mess me with in the mornings, now i’m pissed. I smacked her hair and stood next to her to share the mirror to get ready. “Oh..I could have sworn I saw a tall handsome redhead climbing out of your window this morning..Come on, give me all the details!!” She looked at me with her big shiny brown eyes and a smile plastered across her face. I bursted out laughing! “Nora!! We just fell asleep watching a movie, you better not tell Mom!” I threatened. “Ugh..why would I bother telling Mom?! That’s the lamest story i’ve ever heard.” She said as she sprayed the entire can of hairspray on her long brown curly hair. My sister and I look very similar, but still a bit different. We both have long brown hair and big brown eyes. Her hair is curly and mine is fairly straight. We both have tanned skin and the same big lips that we inherited from our father. She’s kinda short, 5’2, and a very petite frame. I’m just a bit taller than her, 5’4, and my body was a bit more curvy, but her curves will probably come in later, she’s only 16 years old. I walked in the kitchen as my mom was mixing a batch of pancakes. Her hair was up in a loose ponytail and her eyes looked really tired. My mom used to be full of life and she was really pretty, but now it seems that life isn’t treating her that well, I felt really bad for her. My sister and I tried to keep out of trouble because we didn’t want to give our mother any more pain. “Hi Mom! How was your shift?” I asked as I kissed my mom on the cheek and started to cook some bacon. “It was fine, thanks for asking sweetie.” My mom answered, obviously not wanting to chat. As I was putting all the food on the table, the front door swung open and Annie, my best friend and Tyler’s sister, barged in like she owns the place. “What’s up you lucky b***h? F**k I wish I was done with school too!” Annie casually said, while my mother almost spat out her coffee. “Annie! Language please..” My mother yelled as she dabbed a napkin to clean the drops of coffee she spilled on the table. “Sorry Mrs. Ward, I forget you seem to still have virgin ears. Even though I seem to remember Mr. Ward used to whisper some pretty dirty things in your ear..” Annie said as she winked making us all laugh at how crazy she is. She is so different than her two brothers, it’s hard to believe they’re even related. Tyler is the oldest, and Annie and Oliver are a year younger, they’re twins. Annie has the same hair colour as Tyler but she has brown eyes. Oliver has blond hair and gorgeous green eyes, he’s very calm and quiet but that doesn’t stop him from hooking up with all the girls at school. All the girls go crazy for him. “Where’s Nora? I came to see if she wanted a drive to school.” Annie asked as Nora walked in the kitchen. “Hi Annie! Thanks girl, is Oliver going to be there?” My sister asked, doe eyed. “Oh my f**k Nora, don’t tell me you want to sleep with my brother too?!” Annie said blatantly. My poor mother just shook her head and got up to pour herself a second cup of coffee. I hope Annie leaves soon before my Mom drinks the whole pot. Tyler and Oliver walked in a few seconds later and I ran to give my boyfriend a big hug. “Geez, you look happy to see him. It hasn’t been that long since you saw him last.” Annie said winking her eye at me. F**k!! I Hope my mother doesn’t catch on! “Does anyone want breakfast? Mom and I made tons.” I said blushing, trying to change the subject. “No thanks babe, we really should get going. I wouldn’t want to be late for Mrs. Pitt’s class.” Tyler answered smirking at me. That little jerk, he just loves to tease me. “Here sweetie, bring some breakfast with you.” My mom said to Nora as she handed her a container full of breakfast. “Dibs on the backseat with Nora! You’ll share won’t you?” Oliver asked calmly as he put his arm around Nora’s shoulder. “Sure.” Nora answered, her face bright red. They all left and I sat down to eat my breakfast quickly. After my mom and I finished eating, I cleaned up the kitchen and I sent my mother to go rest before her next night shift. I ran to my bedroom to pack my bathing suit and a change of clothes in my bag. I worked as a lifeguard at Blue Cove Beach, and I also volunteered at the local animal shelter. My shift at the beach was only at 2:00, but I wanted to go help out at the shelter before then. I grabbed my bag and the keys to my dad’s old jeep and took the top off the vehicle. The cold morning breeze slowly warming up on my skin as I drove to the shelter.
