Welcome to my life

Chapter 1

(Edited)

"Home Sweet home," I say as I climb out of me car after parking it at the beach, I take a look out at the ocean waves where I can faintly see people surfing and sometimes wiping out, I start to feel a bit hungry so I grab my wallet and lock up my car and walk over to the famous dinner that is next to my Grandad's bait shop, I look inside the window and I can see Irene working, I try to look back into the kitchen and once I am able to do, I can see Leah working back there as well, I take a deep breath and walk inside and wait in line until it's my turn.

"What can I get ya?" Irene asks me without looking up and I smile.

"I was hoping I could get my usual. A delicious chicken sandwich on Turkish bread?" I ask and that causes Irene's head to pop up and she gasps once she sees me face.

"Alison?" she asks, and I nod, causing her to smile and to walk around the counter to pull me into a hug.

"Oh, it's good to have you back in the bay," Irene tells me as she lets me go.

"Hey Leah, can I get one chicken sandwich on Turkish bread?" Irene calls out to Leah who is still in the back.

"I wonder who ordered that," I hear Leah call out and I laugh.

"Don't forget the special sauce on it Leah, that's what makes it delicious," I call out to her and I hear things clatter and I watch as Leah comes running out of the kitchen, she stops once she sees me and she gasp, running over to me and pulling me into her arms for a hug.

"Oh my god, Alison," she says, and I laugh as I hug her back, just as tightly.

"It's good to see you too Leah," I say, and we pull apart.

"I actually am really hungry, it took a few hours to drive in from the city to come home and I haven't eaten," I say and Leah nods and runs back into the kitchen and continues to make my sandwich so I decide to sit down to wait.

"So, how is everyone?" Irene asks me and I sigh.

"Well, Heath and Bianca are doing good, she is a principle again, I know she missed it, Kyle is doing whatever he is doing, haven't talked to him in a while, and I don't know about Ricky and baby Casey, I check in every now and then, I'm usually alone, but I thought it would be time to come home," I explain to Irene who nods.

"Well, from what I know, your old house has not been sold yet," she says, and I smile.

"Well, that's good, I was actually hoping to buy back 'Angelo's'," I say and Irene nods.

"You will need to talk to the now owner, Brody Morgan, I think he is at his house with his wife or is up at the restaurant, which is now called 'Salt'," Leah says as she walks out with my sandwich wrapped up, I hand Irene the money and I give them one last hug before leaving the dinner, I walk back over to my car and place my sandwich inside after unlocking it, I look back out to the waves but as I scan the beach I see 2 very familiar faces standing on the sand.

"You've finally entered my stomping grounds I see," I say as I walk down the sand bank towards Dean and Colby who look at me in shock.

"Alison Braxton," Colby says, and I laugh as we pull each other into a hug, once we pull apart, I fist bump Dean who is smiling.

"welcome to the bay, even though I know you guys have been here for a bit, especially you Dean, I know Ash called you," I say, and he nods.

"Anyway, I've got to get going, I'm going to take a walk around the bay, say hi to people and to see if I can find someone named Brody Morgan," I say.

"Okay, see you later," Colby and dean say, and I walk back up to my car and I climb in, I start driving around the bay.
