Quinn

Good old New York. Not the city New York, but Long Island. Even more specifically, the Hamptons. I love the Hamptons, and coming here every summer is like a dream come true. Yeah it's really expensive to live here but I have made enough money renting it out during the winter I'm set.

Currently I am hanging out with Zach and Genevieve at the beach tanning. As our song dies out a new one comes on, Good Days by SZA. I love this song so much even if I do have a few bad memories associated with it.

"Come on Quinn let's go in the water," Genevieve tugs me up from my spot on the towel already dragging me in and I let out a shriek as I got pulled in. Spitting out the nasty salt water from my mouth, I look up and for a second I swear I see Rafe.

I shook my head and realized that he wasn't there and it was just someone who looked like him. I can't let him ruin my day like that.
"You are so dead Geneiveve." I lunge towards her and drag her under with me as we just keep pushing each other in the water. Just as she is about to push me in again, I come up with the best idea ever.

"Ouch, wait my ankle!" I scream only loud enough that it won't cause a scene, but will make her scared just a tad. When I hear Genevieve rush over as fast as she can, I pull her under and run away.

Best I can do is laugh and run away to protect myself behind Zach who just got back from getting food for the rest of us. "Zach protect me please," I beg as I hide behind him and peek my head over his shoulder so I can see when she's coming to get me.

"What did you do this time," Zach sighs. "Nothing that bad. I just faked my ankle hurting and pushed her in the water that's all," I say, still looking around but can't find her.

Suddenly, I feel something wet hit me in the back and I yell, turning around. I'm faced with a smirking Geniveve and a big ball of seaweed in her hand. "You wouldn't dare," I say, slowly backing up from Zach and trying to run but Genevieve is faster than me.

Before I can make it in the water I get hit again with a ball of seaweed right in the back. "That's what you get for pulling me under loser," Geniveve says as she celebrates her victory a little too early as I collect the extra seaweed and hit her right in the face.

"That felt amazing holy shit," I say laughing so hard I don't realize we are having a full on seaweed fight until we get yelled at by the lifeguards. But to be fair other people were doing it after us so I think we started something to be fair.

"Do you want to walk around for a little bit?" Zach asked the two of us as we headed back to my house. The best thing about where I live is that it's a five minute walk to the beach so we can go whenever we want.

"You guys go ahead, I'm gonna head back and make some dinner." I part ways with the two love birds and head into my room to get my pjs. Bringing them in the shower, I go to turn on the water and bask in the warmth of it.

Putting the towel over my hair, I get on my pjs and go back into my room to put some lotion on. Once I put it back on my dresser, I realized that my window was open even though I didn't have it open when we left the beach. Unless I did and just forgot.

I shake off the thought of anyone coming into my house and go back to the bathroom to finish my hair by putting them into braids and heading down to the kitchen for some dinner. It is movie night so why not make a movie themed dinner.

Well, best I can with the stuff I have laying around since I'm not going out right now. Let's see what we have. Well I can definitely make some mac and cheese because I know I have that stuff.

Oh I have a brisket in here as well and some pickles, as well as some corn. I think I'm set on my dinner for the night. Well not just me but you know what I mean. To really get in the mood I play the music from the movie.

Starting on my brisket, I set my oven and get my spices together. Even though it does take a long time, it is only like two in the afternoon right now and I'm sure Zach and Genevieve are keeping themselves busy.

That's the nice thing about coming here for the summer. There is so much to do here and the three of us can all do our own thing the majority of the day.

𓇼𓇼𓇼𓇼

I have an hourish left on the brisket and the lovebirds just came back so now it's time to get started on the sides. "Gen, can you start peeling the corn please? And Zach, ummm boil the water for the corn and pasta." See you can't trust Zach in the kitchen at all.

He almost burned the kitchen making grilled cheese. If that doesn't say something I don't know what would. It's really sad if you think about it though. Like how do you mess up something as simple as a grilled cheese.

"What! I can cut the pickles or something pleaseeee?" See this is what he does when he can't do anything fun. "Zach, do you remember you cut your finger trying to cut a tomato last week?" Andddddd here we go with this now.

Don't get me wrong I love these two so much but once they start arguing about stuff in the kitchen it's hopeless with these two. Looks like there goes my help with making dinner.

Deciding to eat outside, I make the two knuckleheads set up the projector outside and set the table while I bring everything outside. Setting everything down, Zach goes straight for the fried pickles, leaving at most five left for the rest of us.

"Moron," Genevieve mutters under her breath, taking a decent amount of everything. I only really wanted the mac and cheese and corn so that's all I took.

"So what are you telling me? You had TWO sets of sisters in the same night? Bullshit!" We all hear Wolfman yell at Hollywood. Besides that one scene which I hope you know what I'm talking about, this is my second favorite for no reason.

"You do this every time Wolfman. You ask me about my weekend- I tell you- then you get pissed off because I had a better time than you did," Hollywood says right back as they continue the banter between them.

"The way you guys fight you oughta get married," Goose says, which makes me laugh really hard. Don't ask me why but it does. Even though we aren't halfway through the movie yet, Zach already fell asleep like a loser.

"How dare he fall asleep right now." Genevieve goes to grab a pillow nearby and smacks Zach in the head until he wakes up. All he does is groan and turn around. "Leave me alone," he mumbles into the pillow, snuggling it closer to him.

"Whatever." Genevieve rolls her eyes and goes to help me clean up the mess we made after dinner was over. "Thanks for helping Gen. I really appreciate it," I say, going to place everything in the sink.

"Least I can do after you made all this for us," she shrugs as I hand her a plate to dry and place back in the cabinet. After getting into a steady rhythm, the two of us just sit on the island and eat ice cream before bed.

"So how's Gus doing?" Genevieve asks which almost makes me spit out my ice cream. How do you even answer that if you don't actually know how he's doing? You get me? "Ummm I dunno. We haven't talked since he took us to the airport." That is true so I have no idea where she is going with this.

"Yeah I already knew that because I went through your texts and calls with him last night," she says like it's the most normal thing in the world, which it is not might I add. It's borderline creepy- no scratch that it is hella creepy.

"What the hell Gen! You can't just go through my phone like that without permission." I already know I'm gonna get some wacky Gen reading. Since most of you guys don't know what a Gen reading is... Drumroll please.

A Gen reading is just basically like a tarot card reading, minus the cards. It's like she's a physic or something because every time I get one of these they come true. Could she be controlling what happens? Maybe. But I get suspicious sometimes.

"Just listen to me please?" She begs and I know I'm a goner because once she starts to bed and pleads I have to say yes or else she gets like a sad puppy for who knows how long and it makes me feel so guilty, I can't take it half of the time.

"Fine," I give in. "I think Gus likes you but you just don't want to admit it because you like him back. Trust me on this because you are blind when it comes to people taking an interest in you. And don't you dare fight me because you know I'm right." Damn, she got me there.

"Gen I only see Gus as a friend." Oh the lies I tell myself. Of course I like Gus. I mean fuck, we kissed before we left Vermont for fucks sake. I don't necessarily know when I started to develop these feelings for him but they are there.

"Why are you lying to me," Gen whines, and starts to stare right at me, seeing if she can get any information out of me. I already feel guilty. "Okay we kissed happy? Geez." She should consider being those interrogator people.

"AHHHH!" She hits me with the kitchen towel. "I knew something was up in the car with you guys. I'm so smart." Then she goes back to eating her ice cream like she didn't just hit me with all the strength in her body.

"Okay one, ouch. Two, you can't tell anyone." I really should call Gus tomorrow morning and try to straighten up whatever happened between us. "Now who would I tell girl? I only know you and Zach here." She's got a point.

"Okay then don't tell Zach. There problem solved. Now can we change the topic please?" I plead, hoping I have the same effect she does on me. "Whatever," Gen rolls her eyes. "This conversation isn't over though."

It hasn't been that long since me and Quinn kissed, but I just need to feel her lips on mine again. Even if it is one last time. Oh the things I would do to just see her face, hear her voice, smell her hair, lather myself in her vanilla scented soap one last time.

Call me a little stalkerish but I'm just so in love with her I can't help it. I plan on calling her tonight but realize it's late and she should be sleeping by now. I know her schedule inside and out. When she's in Vermont and New York.

She should be plugging her phone in right now if I have her schedule figured out. I know she wakes up at seven every morning, goes on a jog around the neighborhood, goes for a shower, down to make breakfast by eight thirty.

I could go on but that would make me seem like I'm obsessed with her when I'm not. I'm just mildly obsessed. There is a difference. But all I know is that I will make her mine if it's the last thing I ever do.

Till my last dying breath, I will worship the ground she walks on if it makes her happy. She WILL be mine whether she likes it or not.

Quinn

Right at the crack of dawn- my dawn is seven in the morning, I get up before anyone else in the house and get ready to go on my run. I'm a little late today because the downstairs was a little backed up if you know what I mean.

My run isn't normally that long which is good. Probably like twenty minutes at most. Once I get back, I make my way to my room and get my outfit for the day. Since today is more of a chill day, I grab some cotton shorts and an oversized tank.

Making my way over to the bathroom I turn on the shower and get in. I'm almost done when I hear my door open. "Gen is that you?" Shit it's Zach. "Zach it's Quinn please get out."

"Oh shit my bad Quinn. I thought Gen was in the shower because she wasn't in bed this morning." Well that woke him up for sure. I do find it weird that she's not in bed though, because normally they would be sucking each other face off and I would accidentally walk in on them.

"Maybe she's at the beach?" I suggest since there are not many places to be right now. "I'll go look. Sorry again for walking in. I didn't see anything!" He yells before leaving the room.

Welp, I guess I'm alone right now. I'm certainly not complaining by any means. Just one more reason to blast my music in peace without getting yelled at. I go to one of the shelves in the kitchen and pull out a record to play on the record player.

𓇼𓇼𓇼𓇼

ZACH ATTACK: found her. She just wanted to watch the sun rise and just lost track of time.

QUINN FIN: yay! I saved some pancakes for you guys when you get back. I'm going to the grocery store rn yall want anything?

ZACH ATTACK: Nah I think we are fine. OH WAIT. Can you get more pickles?

QUINN FIN: Sure.

ZACH ATTACK: Thanks.

Quinn fin loved "Thanks."

Making my way to the checkout, I go to pull out my card and pay when I swear I see Rafe walking across the parking lot. Nobody was there which was so weird. Maybe I ran too hard today.

But maybe I just need to take a nap and watch a TV show or something. Going back to my car however, I do see someone who looks very familiar.

"Gus?"
