Summer had woken up really early today and if you knew Summer Roberts well enough you would know that it was not quite like her.Her head hurt and she still felt tired but she would not be able to sleep again even if she tried because if she could she would have for the past 6 hours.Dragging herself out of bed she opened the curtains, letting the rays of the sun shine thought.She closed her eyes shut in attempt to block them out as she made her way to the shower.After her body chilling shower which she desperately needed to wake her up, she got dressed.
Her eyes still felt heavy so she guessed it was time to visit Starbucks again.The coffee should perk her up.She pulled on her boots and grabbed her purse heading out to her favourite hangout.Stepping into the cafe she smelled the aroma of the coffee.It seemed to have lifted her mood as a sweet smile crept its way out.Summer made her way to the counter to make her order.She drummed her fingers softly on the counter top while waiting for that hot cup of coffee she needed, nope required.

Larry was looking around his house, clicking on the channels he had, surfing them. Though there was nothing nice. Clearly he was not in the mood to watch any business type news in the early morning. As Larry would always do that while having his coffee. Today, his butler was not around as he had to head back home to take care of his ill mother. Larry got up from the couch and headed towards his Lamborghini and headed towards the near by Starbucks.
He drove past Roberts's villa, he could not help take a few glance before making his way towards the Starbucks. He immediately parked his car once reaching the place and entered in. Yes, all eyes were on him but he did not care. He walked over towards the counter and ordered the drink he wanted, Caramel Macchiato. He took a seat at the long stool, not bothering to look around or made any other contacts.

Summer was drumming her fingers on the table top and did not really notice that Larry had entered in.However, she did notice when he got his order first.''Hello ....yoooohooo i made my order first!.How come he gets his first before me?'',she asked annoyed by the fact that this was happening again cause of Larry.What was with this guy.He was everywhere she was.Was he stalking her or something?.She stared at the barista while two guys came up to her side.The barista apologised immediately at the sight of the both of them.
Why were people only afraid of her when he friends surrounded her.She had a sharp tongue but did that not count for anything at all?.She frowned for a second but gave her friends a smile, gratified by their pressence.They smiled back and hugged her before returning to their seats.Summer quickly took her cup of coffee and looked around the cafe for a seat.She noticed that most of them were full.She had the choice of either sitting with Larry or a couple that was making out.This day could not get any worst.Taking a deep breath she made her way over to Larry.''Excuse me is this seat taken?'',she asked as politely as she could with her normal smile.It was clear that she was trying so hard to be nice.

Larry heard the voice that nearly startled him. He shifted his gaze towards the person and noticed it was Summer. He was about to turn fully to look at her but decided not to. It might cause chaos around and he did not want those in the open areas. Larry turned back, avoiding looking at her. Larry dipped his head and motioned to let her have it first while he could wait. He could not say how much he missed her but he just could not help his temperamental self.
He soon heard her voice once again, this time was nice and sweet but most likely forcing it. He did not look at her. He took his drink and spoke. "Since when you ask..." Knowing that would cause her flare up, Larry just had to somehow change it, hardly though. "Take it...No one would sit near to me anyway..." Larry had the same thing years ago. Whenever he was alone, no one dared to walked up to him, except her, Summer. That was when everything changes ,yet it did not last long. He snapped the memories and sipped his drink.

Summer heard how his sentence began and she dropped the act,''Fine whatever and to think i actually thought to be nice to you''.She took the seat and held the coffee in both hands while leaning forward to place her elbows on the table.She took a deep breath to take in the aroma of her hot coffee.It made her smile and this time it was not one which was forced.She took a sip of her coffee and wondered for a mintue.''What you doing here alone anyway,where are those tall muscular suit covered people always surrounding you?hmm?'',she asked about his bodyguards after hearing his last few words of loneliness.
She took a galance at him before her eyes trailed out the window as she looked at the rays of sun.Her close friends would probably be surfing right now.Maybe she could go visit them after this.She thought about it for a moment then looked back at him realising that he had not answered her yet.''Not feeling so good?'',she asked concerned.It was not like him to keep quiet for a long time.She was always used to bickering with him.

Larry did not reply her when she spoke. He felt her settling down beside him but he just remain looking at his drinks, sipping it. His bodyguards had found him after all. He turned and looked at the guards, signaling them to wait outside. They soon headed out and the cafe was back to normal, less tensed. He continued to sip on his drinks while she spoke again, about the bodyguards of his. However, he was taken aback when she spoke in such a caring tone.
Larry had the urge to embrace her, but he managed to control himself. "Now you care?" It seems his every first sentence would pierce her before actual speaking nicely to her. "My dad...is coming back...He promoted my first album...Then again...You would most likely not buy it...Those bodyguards were sent by my dad. He wanted me to know what's like to be a star...or even 'star'. I don't even felt like singing anymore..." Larry felt the icy coldness of the cup, knowing that was how it was like in his heart.

Summer grinned when he said 'now you care'.That was more like the Larry she knew.She looked at him as he spoke.This time not taking her eys off him.His eyes seemed to show that he was more than just lonely.''She took a hand away from her hot cup of coffee and gently placed it on his.She held his hand lightly.''It'll be ok,its nothing the great larry can't go through'', she said playfully with a slight giggle at the end.He used to say that to her when they used to be on good terms.
Summer had not been exactly nice to him after their fight had blown up but she always took it as they way they communicated,with a little bickering and squabbling over stuff.It made it seem like nothing had changed between them after their relationship had ended on bad note.It was not that she did not care about him but it was more about not falling for him again.She had to admit she did like him but her ego would never let her give in first.''Are you busy today?'',she asked casually in her normal voice.It was pure without any sense of annoyance.She took her hand away from his after giving it a light squeeze to assure him.

Larry did not feel anything when she teased him. He had no idea what else to say other than ending up a fight but if he did, she would not get a good look. Larry shook that off and noticed her hand was soon placed on his. That made him turned and looked at Summer. For the first time after so long, he finally made contact with her. He looked at her, admiring her as always. He swallowed his nervousness before figuring out what he should reply.
The moment she removed her hand, that was when Larry spoke. "What if I did...Those guards won't give me free moments...Besides...If this leads to any sort of pity...I don't need it." Larry turned his head away and focused on his drink, sipping on it. He sighed not knowing why most of his sentence has a torn. He shrugged slightly, invisible to her at least, while continued tasting the sweetness by the caramel toppings.

Summer noticed that he only spoke after she had taken her hand away.She guessed that maybe he was still uncomfortable to the touching thing.If that was the case then she would not do it anymore.Her hand returned to the cup,once again to embrace its warmth.She sipped her coffee a little more and softly ran her pink tongue over her lips.The coffee always tasted good at Starbucks.
''Well it would not be the first time you escape from them'',she said with a smile while looking at him.''Oh please i'd rather show pity to people who actually need it.If you don't wanna hang i'm cool with it.I don't need your company to survive'',she replied a little annoyed but there was more of light tone to it then usual.She sipped more of her coffee.Rotating the cup in her hand a little as she looked into it.It was getting lesser and lesser.Why wasnt there a cup of coffee that always stayed hot and never finished? she thought, daydreaming a little before looking back at him.

Larry now was struck with a situation, hanging around with her all felt good and wrong. He was afraid he might fall for her, besides, he did not want her to be in any sort of danger or being humiliated. Larry closed his eyes for a moment to think. He did not want to hurt her by rejecting her offer, on the other hand, he cannot agree as well. Slowly, he opened his eyes, sipping his drink finish before heading out, of course he had paid it earlier, both his and hers. He got off the stool and spoke.
"Thanks for your offer...Though...things are different now...I really do miss hanging out with you but with my current status...I'm just...don't think I can." With that Larry walked off, the guards opened the door, Larry closed his eyes and sighed, he tend to curse himself being able to sing and having a father as such.

Summer looked at him as he replied.She was upset but she was definitely not going to show it to him.A frown tugged on the edges of her lips but she maintain the smile.''Don't worry about it,I told you i wont die if you don't hang with me'',she mumbled softly as he left the cafe.Summer sipped her coffee and looked out of the window.She guessed maybe she should visit her friends later or she could just rent a movie and stay in today.
She thought about the two, unable to make up her mind.It was a great day and if she headed down to the beach she could work on her tan but if she stayed home it would be really peaceful.She would have the whole house to herself.Then something clicked.She could throw a party!Awesome idea right? but she did not have enough time to get everything prepared and she could not just annouce she was throwing a party then expect the people to come on the day the receive the invitation as well.Summer frowned and finished her cup of coffee then head to the counter to pay.It was then that she realised that Larry had already done that for her.She smiled slightly and whispered,''thanks i guess''.She made her way out of starbucks and waved at her friends goodbye.Closing her eyes and she let her feet walk in the direction they choosed.They brought her to the video store.She walked through the racks of cds and picked out a movie.''Just you and me'',she whispered softly to the cd and walked to the counter to pay up.While standing there her eyes flickered to the tv above.It was Larry's music video.She stared at it for a moment.He was actually good and he had the looks to match his voice so she guessed he had the whole package.Summer thought for a minute.''Do you have the album?'',she asked the counter lady.The lady smiled and took one of the cds for her.''Thanks'',she replied as she paid up and walked out of the store.Summer stood outside staring at his cd.

Larry headed off. He went back to his vehicle and mounted in while the bodyguards headed back to their van. Larry soon drove off back to his house, figuring there was nothing else he could do. Perhaps trying to compose a song if he must. He looked around at the scenery while thinking what kind of song, the inspiration and emotions had to be set in stone in order to have a great piece of work. The moment he got home, he parked his car and the bodyguards loiter around the grounds of his villa. Larry chucked his keys on the hook effortlessly before heading into his music room, grabbing his acoustic guitar and walked towards the living room.
He dropped onto his couch, pulling out some papers from within the coffee table, a drawer actually. He looked at the song he had created in his first album which he felt it was nice and all, other than the rest. He started strumming while playing the song in his mind, of course, the outcome was never as good as it combined with drums and all but he just had to do with the acoustic version. He wondered what Summer might be doing while playing the song, he did not actually sing just yet. Though as he strummed, he thought of a new song, he quickly jolt down the notes and chords.

Summer tapped the unopened cd on her hand gently while looking at it.She then got into her car and turned on the radio a little louder than she should.It was something she did most of the time when she drove.It usually gave her friends a heads up that she was coming.She sang to the song as she pulled to a stop at her villa.''Home sweet home'',she said while smiling and looking at the villa,not bothering to turn down her radio.She stared at her home for minute then turned off the radio and got out.She hooked her keys then went over to her Hi-5 set.She unwrapped the plastic and threw it into the bin.Summer stared at the picture of larry for a moment on the cd cover then opened it.''Still look good as always huh?'',she said and smile to herself then played the cd.She turned the volume a little loud and sat on the sofa taking off her boots.She placed it in a shoe cabinet and went up to her room to change into her swim suit.
She picked out a black and red floral desgined bikini and changed into it while listening to the music.She stopped and looked in the mirror for a while before heading down to the pool.Summer stood there taking in the sun.It warmed her skin and made her smile widely.The day was perfect.She sat down on the pool bench soaking in the sun while still listening to his cd.The volume was so loud that she could hear it from anywhere in the villa.She giggled to herself softly wondering about which poor soul she was torturing today with her loud music.

Larry was strumming and jolting down at the same time. He was facing the four walls as usual. Though that was his life for now, no one to bother him, no one he could be bother with. Just he, himself and music, not to mention school. He sighed softly before crushing the paper and threw in front of him. He rested back on the couch, staring at the pills of CDs at the side of the big screen. He pushed himself up and walked over to it, grabbed one of the CDs. He looked at it and realised it chose his own CD.
He scowled slightly as there were so many disc yet he chose his. He opened the cover and bend down to placed it in the player before heading back to the couch, grabbing the CD case and remote along. He soon dropped back down and played the first song, It was a remix 'Way Back Into Love'. He had no idea if he pressed the right button as that was not the first song stated on the list. He relaxed against the couch, placing his legs on the table while listening to it, singing along slightly.

Summer stood up and walked to the edge of the pool then dived in and started swimming slowly while feeling the flow of the water.It made her relax.She dived in deep, soaking her hair in the chlorine filled water.She would have to deal with that later but she did not care at the moment.Swimming up to the side of the pool she rested her head on her hands as the song continued.The song changed to the next after a mintue or so.She wondered if she should call him and see how he was doing but then again it would mean she was giving in.Never in a million years was she going to do that.
She leaned back and floated to the middle of the pool while feeling the sun on her skin with her eyes close.''Why does he always have to be like this?'',she asked out loud not caring if anyone was around or not.Well there would not be anyone around thats for sure since nobody was here but her.She wished someone was with her though.Someone she could share this day with.Maybe she could call evan.He was always trying to spend time with her so she could give him a chance today right?.She swam back to the edge of the pool and hauled herself up.Summer walked into the pool house and grabbed a towel to towel her hair.She picked up the phone and keyed in the numbers not realising that she had actually keyed in the number of Larry's.She heard it ring and waited patiently to hear someones voice on the other end.
