It was a beautiful sunny day in January.
Summer decided to go for a walk on the sandy beach. The sea was a lovely blue green
colour, and the waves were calming. Summer always enjoyed the California
coastline during winter. As she walked her blonde hair was playing in the wind and
she was longingly watching couples holding hands together and dogs bouncing in
and out of the sea. All of a sudden something caught her eye.
A young man sitting
on the sand was looking deep and far away in to the sea. He aroused her
curiosity and she watched his blonde curly hair move slowly in time with the wind
as she sat down behind him. Summer’s phone went off and as she was scrambling
to find it, the mysterious guy had disappeared when she was not looking. As she
got up she stumbled, then felt big firm hands around her slender body which
made her tremble inside. As she looked up it was the guy she had been watching.
Summer stared deeply in to his blue eyes.
“You OK?" Said this soft voice.
“Yes
l’m fine, you caught me by surprise. You can let me go now I’m fine”.
As he let
go of her body she felt the electricity between them. They had another
encounter which made him look in to her deep green eyes and he said,
“Hi am Luke”.
This startled her out of daze, urm,
“Hi
l’m summer”.
“Summer
would you like to grab a coffee, so I know you’re ok”.
“Honestly
I’m fine, but yes, that would be lovely thank you”.
They had been talking for hours and before they knew it the
town clock outside the cafe chimed twelve.
As they parted’ Luke caught her arm, pulled her into his toned body and
kissed her tenderly on her lips. “Bye Summer I’ll see you again”.
Luke smiled
and walked off into the distance. Summer
was in a daze and thought this is going to be the start of something very
special. Her heart was pounding with excitement and she could not wait to see
him again. After that encounter they saw each other every day and they grew
closer and closer together.
Six months later Summer was in the coffee house with Izzy. The
coffee house was quiet today and had soft relaxing music playing. They were overlooking
a river with ducks swimming about. People were running to their cars because of
the heavy rain. Izzy returned from Australia, she had been over there for a
year. Summer could not wait to tell her
the news.
“Izzy I have found the one. As soon as we met it was like we meant to
be”.
"Summer I am so happy for you, you deserve this”.
“Izzy
am just bit concerned i feel like he is hiding some think from me”.
“Why?”
“He has this look in his eyes every time I ask questions about his life and our
future”.
“Summer it’s probably
you thinking the worse because of past relationships. Don’t worry, but if you’re uncertain talk to
him”.
“Thanks
izzy maybe you are right”.
That night she went to meet Luke at the finest Italian
restaurant in town, Marco’s. Luke had told her to wear something stunning. As Summer
was walking into the restaurant her blue silk dress clung to her slender figure
as she walked towards him. Luke looked so handsome in his grey suede suit.
“You
take my breath way, I am the luckiest man alive”.
“Don’t be silly you are
making me go all embarrassed”.
They talked between courses and finally she decided
to tell him that she felt as if he had a deep secret that he was keeping from her.
“Luke I need to talk to you”, it was just as if he knew what she was going to
ask when he got down on one knee. “What are you doing Luke, everyone’s looking”?
“I
don’t care, I want everyone to know. “I love you so much Summer, would you do
the honor of marrying me”? “Oh Luke,
yes I would love to”.
That night Summer was on the top of the world and was the
happiest she had ever been. Everything was finally going right for her.
Two
months later it was finally the day of the wedding and she was floating on air.
Summer had been feeling unwell for two months, she could not seem to shift it
and today she felt really sick but took it to be nerves. Summer walked up the aisle
with Izzy behind her. Soft classical music was playing in the background and there
were red roses scattered around the church. There were just a few friends
standing up as summer walked down the aisle with her dress flowing gently behind
her. It was a beautiful white colour with sequins on the front and the dress Izzy
was wearing gorgeous blue off the shoulder. Summer noticed neither Luke nor Adam
the best man was there. The vicar was just standing there motionless. She
started to feel anxious. All of sudden Adam
came running up with something in his hand.
“What
is it Adam?”
“I can’t
find Luke but he has left this letter in his room”.
Suddenly the colour from
her checks drained.
“I cannot open it, Izzy
will you open it please”.
Izzy looked at summer and nodded. Izzy read
the letter.
My
sweetest Summer
I am so
sorry. I don’t mean to hurt you but when you receive this letter I will be gone
and you won’t ever see me again. Just know you’re in my heart and am doing this
for you.
Love always,
Luke.

Summer
fell to the floor with a bang.
“Quick someone call the ambulance” said Izzy.
Summer Knew her world had ended, or had it?
THE
END
