The Girl I Once Was

chapter 2

"My head hurts!" Caden yelled. "Well maybe if you shut up it won't hurt as much."I told him. "Your the one who said to party all night!" He defened. "Noo! That was just lyrics to my song." I could tell he felt stupid because when ever he does his eyes turn all black and he just smiles.

"Hey Maddianna!" A to familiar voice called. I could tell it was Zach. "Hey."I called back surprise he remembered me. "I didn't get to see you after the party the other night. I just wanted to let you know that you are a great Singer." He complimented. "Thanks so I you."I felt my cheeks burning up just letting me know that I liked him. "I was wondering if I could get your phone number?" He said raising his eye brows his cheeks turning red as well. "Sure!" Writing my phone number down on a price of paper. "Hey I have to go bit you can just give me a call whenever. I walked out of starbucks and the three block walk back to my house four cups of mochas in a tray. "I'm home!" I yelled. "Great Starbucks!" Caden called taking his mocha and going up to his room. I delivered my mom's and dad's to their room and walked to cafes room knocking on ho's door before walking in. "Hey sis." He said with his face buried in a lyric book. I guessed he was writing a new song because the only time he gets a mocha is if he's writing a new song. "New song?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Yupp!" His face still buried in the book and his pencil moving. "Who was that girl the other night?"I asked my voice going hoarse remembering what she said about me. "She is my girlfriend." He said in a low voice. He seemed embarrassed. "Why did she say that about me and Why did you agree?" Tears started coming to my eyes. I felt like I was crying over something stupid however I knew deep down it was a big deal. "Um, I don't know. I'm sorry Maddianna. Can you get out I have a lot to do for this song." He felt bad and I didn't want to already him fell worse so I just left him alone for the rest of the day.

"Hey Caden!" I yelled coming out of my room. He didn't say anything. I said it again. Was he ignoring me? Did he feel bad because he kicked me out of his room yesterday? I just left him alone during breakfast. It felt very wierd, Caden and I always talked over breakfast about our day and what we plan to do.

"There's my bae!" My best friend Sabrina yelled as I got out of my car. I have a private driver named John who takes me every Where I need to go when I don't have a ride. "Thanks John!" I yelled before closing my door. "Hey!" I cried hugging Sabrina. "We have one month till summer break and we still don't have any plans towards what were gonna do." She said putting a pout on her face. "Actually I do. I'm going on tour with Caden!" I said matching her pout face. "WHAT! you can't go on tour with Caden!" She yelled. "I'm sorry! However on the bright side, I might be A bonus track on Cadens next album." I said. She still had her pout face on only now crossing her arms across her chest. "Let's just drop the subject and take the pout faces off!" I suggested. Sabrina took her pout face off and looped her arms through mines putting a small smile on her face. "Let's go before were late for class!"

"Caden Why are you ignoring me?" I asked as his phone went straight to voice mail. John called me last minute telling me he couldn't pick me up from school and I needed Caden to come and pick me up. "I guess I'm walking home." I muttered to my self. "Only a half hour away from home."I added. "I'm home Caden!" I yelled. Nothing.on and dad are never home when I get back from school their always at some meeting for Caden and me and Caden always hang out. I went up to his room and knocked on his door nothing. I opened it and he wasn't in there. I started to get worried. I checked the whole house and he wasn't no where's to be found. I decide to look out side bit once I opened the door his car wasn't even here. "Where are you?" I muttered under my breath. I sat on the couch pulling out my phone, dialing Caden's number. "Hello?" He said his voice sounding sleeping. "Where the hell are you?" I yelled into the phone clearly pissed off. "Sorry I went over to Zachs house and fell asleep. I got your calls earlier and I'm not ignoring you." Caden cried. "Yeah well I just walked 25 blocks home, my legs hurt and you couldn't even answer the danm phone! And you are ignoring me because every time I talk to you except now you didn't reply." I said hanging up the phone. I groaned and walked up to my room slamming the door behind. Took the picture I ad of Caden and I and tossed it across the room. I sat on my bed falling asleep 15 minutes later.

"Maddianna can you please answer your door?" Caden cried on the other side. "No!" I refused. "Your being an ass to me and I didn't do anything to you." I added "I'm sorry Maddi!" He said. "Yeah that's what you said the other day before I performed at your party." My door knob jiggled around to know that Caden was walking in. "Hi sis!" He yelled with a smirk on his face. I got off my bed and walked over to my couch stretching my feet out so I couldnt sit there and turned to face the opposite side of his face. "Maddianna I just want tl talk to you about Zach!" He said. "Lie!"

"Says who? I want to apologize but to also talk to you about Zach. I know you like him and he likes you." He whispered.

"Get out!" I yelled getting up and shoving him towards the door. "Fine! I'll never fucking bother you again!" He said slamming the door shut. Tears were running down my face knowing I just destroyed our brother-sister bond for a while.

"He still didnt call me!" I cried to Sabrina lying across my bed. "Give him time sweety. He's famous, he's busy." She said lying down on my bed as well and facing me. "If he knew he wouldn't be able to call me then Why bother asking for my phone number?" I whined baring my face into my pillow. "Because, maybe he thought he would be able to call you sooner then he expected." That's when my phone vibrated. "Hello?" I asked not knowing who it was. "Maddianna?" Zach asked. "Oh Zach. Hey what's up?" I said getting up off my bed and travling to my couch. "I know you gave me your phone number a while ago I was just busy with band stuff. However, I was wondering if you would like to go out to diner with me on Saturday?" His voice kept on cracking so I figured he was nervous. "Um Yeah sure!" I said starting to laugh. "What's so funny?" He said starting to laugh to. "Your voice I!" I yelled. "I know, I was just nervous." I replied. "Maddianna!" My mother yelled.

I groaned.

"I have to go my mom just called me." I said to Zach. "OK goodbye." Zach said before he hung up. I told Sabrina I'll be right back before walking out of my room and to my parents. Caden was in there holding a grudge on his face. "Yes?" I asked raising my eyebrows to my mother. "Sit!" She said pointing her finger to an open chair. I sat down and she locked the door and then walked out leaving Caden and I in there by ourselves. "She realized our akward behavior." Caden said.

I just ignored him. "Maddianna I'm really really really sorry and I don't know how else to say it. Can you just please accept it please. I know it's hard and all especially for what I did to you. I know you know it's little for what I did but now I know that I never do this to you and That's why it hurts so bad." I thought he would never shut up. "I guess I can except your apology. However, just to let you know I'm going out with Zach on Saturday." I said putting a smile on my face and walking towards the door. Caden ran up to me grabbing me by my waist and picking me up and dragging me back to the chair. "What do you mean your going out with Zach?" He said as he took his seat again. "The other day when you sent me to get Starbucks Zach was there and he asked for my phone number. Then he called me today and asked me out. However, I do need to go I have Sabrina in my room waiting for me." I said getting up again and finally succeeding to leave the room.

"What did your mother need?" Sabrina asked looking up from one of the magazines I had in my room. "She realized Caden's and I's akward behavior."

"Ooh!"

"Yeah." I sat back down on my bed grabbing my phone to save Zach's number. I wonder if he likes me or is he just being nice?
