It was mid summer and really hot here in Florida and everybody was taking a refreshing swim in the pool.
"Karla, wanna join us?" Nick asked.
"Oh no, I can't" I said.
"Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaasee!!!" Aaron and Angel whined.
"No, I don't want to". Too late. Nick got out of the pool and pushed me into the water. Right there we started a huge water fight, we had a lot of fun.
Actually that was the best summer of my life. Nick and I became good friends. But I realized that I was truly, madly, deeply in love with him; but for him I'd only be a friend. But like every good thing it all has to come to an end
"Karl, I have to tell you something" Nick said looking sad.
"Yes" I said starting to worry.
"My parents are sending me to Europe to finish school back there. I'm leaving in 2 days."
"Oh." Was all I could manage to say "That's cool. Good for you" I said as I hugged him "Now you'll never now how I feel" I thought.
The next 2 days were really hard for me and for everyone, one's were saying goodbye to their oldest son, others were saying goodbye to their brother but the way I saw it I was saying goodbye to my dearest friend and most of all the love of my life. I was destroyed, even though he never showed any kind of affection towards me, just friendship.
When he left, everything started to change. I turned from the twins nanny to the one that was in charge of like everything in the house, clothing, beds, food, everything, even though I was only 14 and there were other maids in the house too.
