Making it together

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Taylor’s POV

 

Once we have arrived and passed through customs. It was quick for Zack, Lily, my parents Dean and I but the rest it took ages. Perks of being from the country your going into. We hired two Maxi Taxis to fit us all and head back to my family home. Once we arrived home Zack pays the driver and we enter the home.

 

I run up excited. This was my childhood home, all my memories are of here. There was the kubby in the back that Zack and I spent our younger childhood playing families and making seacret codes so that our parents wouldn't know. Somehow theyfigured it out. I guess a five year olds seacret code is very easy to hack.

There is a pool with all the deck chairs where we would have friends over in the summer. In summer there would always be someone there. Eiteher Zack and I or Dean and his Mates. If nother of us are in there My Mum and Dad would be in there withZack's parents.

Then there was My room that looked across to Zack’s old bedroom. At night when we couldn't sleep we would use our flash lights and our code and send messages over to each other. When we were eight, Zack would send a cup telephone across to my house. We would spend all night up talking about nothing. This house holds all my memories of my childhood. Back when we were all so inocent. I love this house.

 

We get inside and unpack the clothes we don’t need down at the beach. Zack and I head to the garage and get out the wetsuits, surf boards, umbrellas, picnic stuff, our old beach toys for Lils beach toys and a range of other stuff. We put them all in my Jeep Wrangler and Zacks 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser. We all gather our leftover lougage and stuffed then into a bag. Each of us shared with another preson. But, of course Chris has one to her self.

Once we were all packed and had gone to the bathroom we set off. Zack was driving his car I was driving mine. We didn’t trust them driving on the left side of the road (In Aus. we drive on the left hand side). It took us about 3 hours to get down to Apollo Bay.

We traveled down via the great ocean road. It’s seriously the most beautiful place I have ever driven on. We pass massive cliffs that look across the ocean. Every so often we stop off at one of the look out to take picture. I love taking pictures of this place.

Lils gets excited when we stop off at a cafe on the beach. Everyoe sits down and orders a bit of afternoon tea. Lilyis buzzing and I just know she is about to do something. She runs off to the shore. I follow with Zack in toe.

"LILY!" I call out her name as loud as we can. "Get back!" She slowly walks back to where Zack and I stand.
