James, LeighAnn, and someone special

[James McCotter]

" Im fine, i wont get into trouble, i promise." James said with a smile.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

"Well just owl and ask please?" LeighAnn begged...

 

[James McCotter]

" Oh ok." James said and wrote the letter.

Dear Dad,
Have i to be in for a certain time??
James

He passed it to the owl and waited for a reply. Moments later the owl came back.

Dear James,
Stay out for as long as you want tonight.
Dad

" Im allowed out as late as i want." James said to LeighAnn.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

"See that wasn't hard at all..." She smiled at him. "Can we get out of this tree?"

 

[James McCotter]

" If you like." James said and helped LeighAnn down.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

"Thanks," she took his hand...

 

[Laine Elders]

She was walking down Obsidian Harbor when she saw her cousin from Cali. She missed Cali oh so much. She at least, now, had a little part of it here with her.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

LeighAnn turned around after James had helped her out of the tree..." LAINE IS THAT YOU!?"

 

[Laine Elders]

She smiled. "Yes, it's me." She walked over to her and the guy she was with, "I really wish this place was a bit warmer." She felt a cool breeze or the April chill drift over her arms.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

"Oh my gawd... Laine... I thought you wasn't coming that it would be to much since... well you know... Momma died?"

 

[Laine Elders]

She sighed, "Well, Auntie was a bigt part of my life," pausing with a rattling breath, "but, my momma and daddy needed time away. So, they bought the Placeford Mansion in France."

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

"Oh.. Ok.. I got you... Well.. I got into a big fight with daddy.. And then come here.. I've missed you so much"

 

[Laine Elders]

"Mhmm." She nodded, "It's a nice place. Huge. And roomy. If you don't like where you're at, I bet Momma and Daddy wouldn't mind lettin you move in." She said, "It's got a spell around it that makes it feel like Cali. And It's got a backyard beach. I can get my tan on!!" She laughed.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

" I would love to, but... I don't know... I think it would be great to stay with you... Could James come over?" LeighAnn said looking at James and smiling.

 

[Laine Elders]

She looked at her, then the guy, "You are actually asking. You know my parents. They could care less, as long as I'm not in trouble."

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

LeighAnn laughed... "But when are we not in some kinda trouble? Remember that day at the beach??"

 

[Laine Elders]

"The day we pushed our dad's out of the boat.. " she laughed. "Then we almost drownded that guy for untying my top."

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

LeighAnn laughed... "But the lifeguard made us stop... Yeah I remember.... momma though it was so funny..." LeighAnn thought back to that day.... " Hey and do you rememeber when we was at school and I hit that girl because she called you fat?"

 

[Laine Elders]

"Mhmm. Where in the sam heck does she see fat?" She looked at her body. It was... good. "No where."

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

" I know... Remember... I told her she needed to look in the mirror because she was the fat one.. She ran off and cried for two hours..."

 

[Laine Elders]

"Yea. I need to find a guy around here." She laughed.

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

LeighAnn smiled and then it hit her..." OMG!! Laine... This is James. James this is my best friend and cousin Laine."

 

[Laine Elders]

"Yup. It's me. I'm the gorgeous one." She smiled and winked at LeighAnn. "Kidding."

 

[LeighAnn McClay]

LeighAnn laughed at her cousin..." You better be."

 

[Laine Elders]

"It's totally cold out here." She frowned. "Does James have a friend?" Her frown kinda lifted and a smile set in.
