My Sister's Boyfriend

Chapter nine

It was starting to get colder outside. The fall weather pierced my skin as I walked outside. As I walked around I thought about our annual fall camping trip. We'd go every fall, usually in early November.

It was November 7th today and we'd usually go this weekend. Carol, my mom, Kaley, Danny, Julianne, and I would go. I was super excited since it was always a hit every year. We would all go and sleep in our heated tents. We would have a bonfire the first night and eat smores. After the first night, the couples would go on a walk on the beach and watch the sunset. It was a super epic romantic experience.

Danny and Kaley would go. Carol and my mom would go even though they weren't a couple. They sometimes acted like it because of how close they were, it was really funny. That's how Aleah and I were, she and I have always been close. She's the polar opposite of me but I think that's what makes us as close as we are.

I thought about Liam and how if I invited him, I could possibly get my mind off of Danny, and I could finally go on that romantic walk. Liam was cute and he was funny, I should totally invite him to go camping with us.

Carol will have my mom, Kaley will have Danny, and I will have Liam, it's a win-win! Maybe I can finally have my first kiss. I know it's sad, I'm seventeen and I haven't even had my first kiss yet, but I wanted it to be special, I wanted it to be with someone who truly loves me.

I remember always dreaming about my first kiss. It would be with Danny, under the pouring rain. After the passionate kiss, we'd dance and play in the rain, just like in the movies.

I finished my run and the cold air went away as I stopped. I felt the sudden rush of warm air beating on my face. I clutched my heart and slumped over out of breath as the door to my house flung open.

I jumped and flinched as I saw Danny walking out of the house in kind of a rush. My eyes followed him as he stomped away. My face grew a confused expression and Kaley came out right after him.
    "Seriously you always have to act like a jerk!" she yells while throwing a cup of hot chocolate at him.

None of the cocoa touches him and he doesn't even flinch.
"I didn't even do anything wrong! I can't help it it's school!" he yells back. My eyes widen, they were fighting...a rare sighting.

Kaley shook her head and then looked at me,
    "I just wish you could stay a bit longer that's all, that's what I'm doing," she says while starting to lower her voice.

He slightly groans while pinching his forehead with frustration.
    "I can't Kaley, I have a career to uphold, I have already been home for a week, I'm sorry but you're gonna have to start getting used to this if we're gonna make it in this relationship Kaley," he says while also lowering his voice.

I blink with a shocked expression, this was weird, they never fought, I always thought they'd be that couple that stayed in the honeymoon phase the whole relationship.
    "Just go home, I need time to cool off, pick me up tomorrow for camping," she says while starting to go back inside.

He watched her walk away and he sighed. I could see the warm smoke come out of his mouth. I rubbed my red cold nose and folded my arms as I walked up a little more. He glanced at me like I had startled him.

I looked at him and he looked at me and just stared for a few seconds.
    "Danny?" I ask quietly as he interrupts me saying.
    "Make sure to bundle up, it's getting colder out," he says with a sort of cold tone.

I open my mouth about to say something when I shut it again. He leaves and walks towards his house. I sigh and walk inside my warm house. I wonder what they were fighting about. I took my beanie off and began to walk upstairs.
