Btw I just wanna say a HUGE thanks for all of the support. I never thought I'd get this much love and support for something I wrote ❤
Also, I'm sorry if I don't reply to a comment. I live in the UK, and a lot of the time when I check my notifs, I have 50+ notifs, especially in the morning (time zone I think bc me is British and a lot of my readers live in different time zones to me) so I sometimes don't see it, especially on school mornings as I like checking before school. That's why I ask for requests in PM, as its not unusual for me to see a comment after I re read a chapter (I do this to improve my work lol) xx
Catie's POV
Today is the day! My family and I are on holiday in Malibu and I'm excited because today is the first day of holiday, and we were going to the beach!
"Catie you ready?" My mum asks, grabbing her handbag.
"Yeah I'm ready." I was wearing a black lace cropped top with blue denim shorts. I wore a black bikini underneath just in case I decided to go for a swim.

I grab an anklet and quickly put it on before leaving.
It was a really warm day in Malibu, so I decided to go buy some ice cream. There was a shop a few streets away from the beach so I decide to go.
"Mum! I'm going to buy some ice cream!" I shout, as my mum had her earphones in.
"Be safe!" She yells back, and I begin walking.
I find the ice cream shop with no trouble. As I'm about to go in, I see a handsome looking boy, probably a few years older than me. He was playing guitar, and there were a few people filming him.
"Don't let em keep you down Oh you know you can't give up Cause we don't have the time to be sorry So baby be the life of the party." He sings, strumming his guitar.
I smile and clap. A wave of confidence hit me and I approached him.
"Hey, that was really good!" I say, smiling.
"Thank you honey." He smiles back, pausing for a second. "I'm Shawn. What's your name?"
"Nice to meet you, Shawn. I'm Catie." I reply, putting my hand out to shake. Instead, he gives me a quick hug.
"So where are you from Shawn?"
"Toronto, Canada. You live here?"
"No, I'm from (SORRY I FORGOT TO ASK OMG!!). I'm here with my family on holiday. I was just going to get ice cream."
Another wave of confidence hits me.
"Would you like to come too?" I ask.
"Yeah, that'd be great." He replies, smiling kindly. This guy was definitely a proper Canadian.
Its amazing how much you learn about someone in twenty minutes.
We got into the shop and there was no queue, so we go to order.
"Hi, can I get a vanilla ice cream and..." Shawn looks at me to ask what I wanted.
"Chocolate please."
"So that's one vanilla and one chocolate?"
"Yeah, please."
I'm about to get my purse out but Shawn stops me.
"It's okay, I got this." He offers to pay, and it makes me smile.
"Thank you." I had only known Shawn for five minutes and he was buying me ice cream.
We sit on a bench outside and begin talking.
"So are you a singer?" I ask.
"Kind of. What you heard was my first single, its out in a weeks time and I'm super nervous."
"Wait you're famous?"
"No... not yet. I made these six second videos of me singing on Vine, and that got me signed and stuff." He explains. I now felt bad that I didn't recognise him.
We talked for an hour after, and it turned out we were very similar.
It was almost like we were brother and sister, we were so close even though we just met.
At the end, we exchanged numbers before he had to leave.
"I'll hopefully see you again, it already feels like you're a younger sister to me." He puts his arms out to hug me and I give him a tight hug. He kisses the top of my head before leaving.
A few years later
"Shawn!" I scream. We were supposed to be washing his jeep, but he decided to chuck a bucket of cold water on me.
I was gonna get him back.
I get the hose pipe and secretly put it down his shirt. I then turn the tap on, and get my phone out to film.
"ARHH!! Catie! That's not fair!" He shouts, shivering because the water was so cold. He throws his soaking shirt off and I wrap a towel around him, because as much as I loved messing with Shawn I didn't want him getting sick.
"Serves you right." I scoff jokingly, before we went in to have a movie night.
I was so happy that I met Shawn that day. I had now found my best friend and my brother.
I hope this is what you wanted, sorry for the wait ❤
