Chapter 2

Hadley's POV

When I walked in the house I was supposed to call home I was impressed.This house was very modern for a house that held gang members.
"Follow me,"James says.I follow him upstairs and he walks into a fairly bug room."This is our room,"James says putting my stuff down.It had a huge closet,a bathroom,and a huge bed.
"Our bedroom,"I ask.
"Well yes,since you know we will be getting married soon,"he says to me with a smirk.
I walk up to him and slap him hoping the smirk would come off but it didn't.
"What the hell was that for,"he asks
"I was trying to slap that stupid smirk off your face,"I say.I was about to slap him again but he grabs my wrist.
"What was that for,"he whispers in my ear.
"...for being an ass,"I whisper back.
He let's go of my wrist and says,"Time to meet my parents."He walks out so I follow him.I see Mark laughing at something."What the hell are you laughing at,"I ask.
"Your dog,'is all he says.I look at Addison,she is yapping her head off at a huge stuffed bear.I start laughing as well.
I go to the kitchen and go to the fridge.I grab a container that says:Potato Salad. I open it  and grab a plate and fork.
I put the container back and sit on the counter eating."Oh come on,we're having dinner in half an hour,"James says behind me."So I'm hungry and you don't want to mess with a hungry me."
He looks at me weirdly then takes the plate away from me."Hey!"
I walk up yo him while he is putting it in the sink and jump on his back.He stumbles then gains his balance."I'm so scared,"he says.
I start hitting his back then smacking the back of his head.After a couple minutes I am dropped on the floor.I land square on my butt."Ow..."
I get up and go to the couch.I prop my feet on the wall and my head on a pillow on the couch.I go on my phone and check for any calls or texts.
Sure enough there was one missed call from my dad.I go to the backyard were I know Mark is."Mark I pulled a prank on my dad want to here what he has to say,"I ask.He turns around and nods."What did you do."Fill my safe with fake  money then put a note that said 'Got you Bitches -Hadley Rhea Reynolds' I saw him staring at it so I know he looked in it."
He laughs until I set my phone on the table and call  my dad.I put it on speaker.
"Hadley Rhea Reynolds why the hell did you fill your safe with fake money,"dad asks madly.
"Why did you go through my safe,"I ask acting to sound hurt and sad.
"Baby I'm sorry,"dad says.Typical,he always falls for it.
"Daddy I have to go but I'll call you later,"i say.
He doesn't say anything but just hangs up.A couple seconds later Mark and I start laughing."How are you so good at acting,"He asks."Years and years of practice,"is all I say.Someone walks downstairs and we turn to see the person."Hi,"I say not knowing what else to say."Summer this is Hadley Reynolds.Hadley this is Summer Black,Jame's sister."She walks up to me and engulfs me in a hug.
"So your the one!"She lets go of me and I just nod."I...uh guess."I notice she looks a lot like James,the same grayish blue eyes and black hair.
"I can tell we will be best friends,"She says.I don't really know what to say so I don't say anything."Oh I have to make mom's favorite casserole."She disappears in the kitchen and Mark goes back outside.I take Addison upstairs with me and go to unpack.I put Addison in her little basket and she spins around a couple times before laying down.I start unpacking my clothes and put them on the empty side of the huge walk in closet.I here the shower running in the bathroom so I leave all my toiletry's in the bags.I put my sketch book on the nightstand.I also put a picture of my friend, Alexander,and I in eighth grade.
"Hey,"James says.I turn around,he is only in jeans and his hair is still damp."Hi," I say.He sits on the bed and asks,"Who's that?"
"Alexander,He was my childhood best friend."I blink away the tears since the memory of him is sad.
"He was the one that got bullied in fifth grade right,you beat the person up."
I nod and a small smile appears."It didn't stop though,"I say,still fighting back the tears.
"What happened to him,"He asks."he died,"Is all I say.
