#Chapter23

Lauren and I walk down the familiar street that leads to Jonas' house. My heart is light with excitement. Those days by the pool always cheered me up, and right now I could use just that. Music, talking, dancing, sunbathing, swimming, laughing, it was my summer dream. The memories float back to me as we near his place.

/"He's waiting for us in the back,/" Lauren says, as enlivened as I am. We make our way up the stone driveway and enter through the back gate. The trickling sounds of the waterfall tickle my ears and I pick up my pace. Everything comes into view and for once this summer, I feel like myself again. My eyes wander to the pool, remembering it's cool hands all over my body.
