as i woke up in my bed, i quickly got myself ready for the day. i made my into the connected bathroom where i brushed my teeth, took a shower, washed my face and headed to my walk in closet where i changed into sweats.

after that i made my way into my kitchen only to find my sister, kourtney, sitting in my kitchen counter. i stopped in my tracks and raised my eyebrows. "kourt? what the hell are you doing?" i said as i approached my kitchen.

kourtney looked up from her phone, a smirk playing at her lips. "is that any way to greet your older sister?" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

i rolled my eyes. "how'd you even get in here?"

kourtney chuckled, setting her phone down. "i have my ways." she crossed her legs, looking me up and down. "nice outfit." she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

i glared at her, feeling the irritation creeping up inside me. "you didn't answer my question." i said, crossing my arms over my chest. "what are you doing here?"

kourtney shrugged, still wearing that infuriating smirk on her face. "well i missed the housewarming party, so i came to check the place out."

i rolled my eyes again. "and you couldn't have called first?" i said, walking over to the fridge to grab a bottle of water.

kourtney chuckled again, clearly enjoying getting under my skin. "where's the fun in that?" she said, tapping her manicured nails on the counter.

"you're infuriating, you know that?" i said as i leaned back against the counter, taking a sip of my water.

"i've been told a time or two." kourtney said with a smirk. she studied me for a moment, her expression serious now. "i really came here to talk about you and your new boy toy."

at the mention of callum, i felt a pang of defensiveness. "what about him?" i said, my voice guarded.

"don't get all defensive on me," kourtney said, her eyes narrowing. "i just want to know what exactly you're doing with him."

i raised an eyebrow, feeling my irritation rising. "what do you mean, what am i doing with him?" i said, my voice taking on a sharper edge.

kourtney rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. "don't play dumb, kacey. you know exactly what i mean. i saw pictures of you two making out all over the internet."

i sighed, feeling a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment at the mention of the photos. "yeah, so what?" i said, trying to keep my cool.

kourtney scoffed, shaking her head. "so what? so what?! do you have any idea how this looks? you were just engaged to jacob like two minutes ago, and now you're already hooking up with another guy?"

i felt my jaw clench, my irritation bubbling up inside me. "first of all, i'm not 'hooking up' with him. we've only been on a few dates. and secondly, why do you care about jacob? not like you or anyone else in our family liked him or us together." i snapped.

kourtney's eyes flashed with anger. "you know why we didn't like him. he was no good for you." she said, her voice taking on a harsh tone.

i scoffed, "like you know what's good for someone."

kourtney glared at me, clearly stung by my words. "you're acting like a child, kacey. why can't you admit that jacob was a bad influence on you?"

"because it's in the past! it no longer matters!" i said while shaking my head.
