My Happy Ending

Chapter 2

When I pulled into the driveway I was shocked. I saw Aiden’s Silverado Pickup. I parked and rushed inside.

“Aiden?” I call out

There was no answer. I walk into the long hall way and slowly make my way to the family living room.

I felt like I was in a horror movie, just waiting for something to jump out and murder me.

All of a sudden I was lifted into the air by a pair of strong arms and I let out a scream.

“Calm down it’s just me.” Aiden says lifting me higher.

“You scared me half to death” I say, while Aiden is placing me back on my feet.

“What are you doing home?” I ask

“Jeez, I can’t come home to see my favorite sister.” Aiden says acting hurt.

“First off, I am your only sister. Second of all, you come home only on special occasions. So what’s really going on?” I ask

“Nothing” he says calmly.

“Where’s Aaron?” I ask picking up the apple I grabbed this morning for school.

“He’s upstairs. Changing or something” Aiden says plopping down on the living room couch, turning on the TV.

“Okay” I say heading up the stairs in search for my brother. I wanted to ask him if he could take my car to the shop to fix the sound my car was making when I hit the brakes.

I knock on his door and I hear him shuffle around quickly around his room. Confused I ask.

“Aaron, can I come on?” I ask, trying to turn the doorknob. It was locked.

“Wait!” he shouts. A few seconds later I hear the door unlock and his head appeared between the small crack of the door.

“Yes? What do you want?” Aaron asked me clearly annoyed.

“What is your problem?” I ask getting pissed off.

“You’re the one who was knocking on my door. What do you want?” he asks raising his voice slightly.

“Why are you not letting me into your room?” I ask putting my hands on my hips.

“It’s not of your business!” He says, making the gap between the door and the frame smaller as I try to peek into his room.

“Is Julie there? OMG, she is…. isn’t she!” I say
