''Alexis?'' Shawn whispers with his watery tears. 

''It's nice to see you,'' She smiles widely and gives in for a hug. She silently cries as Shawn holds her tight as if she was a handle of a roller coaster. Holding onto her for dear life. 

''Oh! My gosh!'' Mahogany screams from behind, pushing Alexis and Shawn and running to me. ''I'm so glad you guys are safe.'' She attacks me with a hug. 

I look up after seeing a shadow towering me and Mahogany. ''Mahogany, I'm not sure how to turn off the oven.'' She looks up at Jacob and runs inside the house. 

''Hey bud.'' Jacob hugs me. He looks around, making this reunion awkward. ''Um, come inside. You'll love it. It's cozy.'' 

I walk inside, carefully as if it was some trap. I look around at the modern theme mansion, getting used to the scent and where everything was at. ''This is a beautiful home.'' 

''Yeah, give credits to Mat-'' Jacob coughs. ''Mahogany.'' 

We all used to live together. I remember, but that means he would be here. Mahogany jogs up to Jacob and whispers something into his ear. He nods his head and runs up the spiral stairs. ''Do you wanna? Um, you know?'' 

I can't see Matt. I don't know how he'll react. I furrow my eyebrows, acting confused. ''I don't know what.'' 

''Would you like to see Matt?'' Mahogany says in one breath. 

''No.'' 

''Please,'' Mahogany says with pleading eyes. ''He's been so different lately and now that you're here, you could change that.'' 

''I don't know,'' I mumble, looking down at my nails.

''Why!'' A familiar voice shouts from upstairs. I shoot my head up to the direction of the voice as the sound of footsteps reaches down the stairs. I run out of the entrance and into the kitchen, hiding away from him. I'm not ready. I didn't even know. I wasn't even prepared.''What's for dinner then.''

''It's your favorite,'' Mahogany's voice muffled through the walls. I walk to the door and crack it open. Matthew. He's so different. His hair wasn't in a quiff like usual. He was wearing a grey sweater, kind of like mine, black skinny jeans that fit him perfectly, and timberlands. I want to see more of him, but if I dared to move he would see me. 

''Yea-'' Alexis gets cut off as she walks down the hall with Shawn.

''Alexis? What are you doing here?'' Matt says in shock.

''I'm here to have dinner,'' She says, looking at her hands which were locked with Shawn's. 

''If you're here, then that means...'' He stops, looking around. ''No.'' 

Matt starts walking towards the door that I was looking through. I panic and hide behind a counter as a pair of heels click and clack on the floor. Mahogany shows up to my side before Matt could come any closer. I close my eyes, hopping Matt wouldn't see me. ''It's time to eat.'' 

''I don't wanna be here if she's in breathing in the same house as I am,'' Matt says with disgust and hatred. He walks away and disappears. Mahogany looks down at me with, this time, eyes full of sorrow. I stand up and take a deep breath, ''I don't know what I did wrong.'' 

''I told you he's changed,'' Mahogany mention. I nod my head as she starts walking to the dinner table. ''The food is ready. You can come out whenever you feel the need to,'' She says and walks out of the kitchen. 

I can't hide forever, I know that. I can't help, but know that he hates me. He's supposed to love me. This is why I didn't wanna come back because I knew Chris would leave me alone with this to deal with or at least something to deal with and that something is this. 

''I'm back, only because Belle isn't here,'' He says. I look at the wall imagining him scoffing. I take a deep breath and walk out of the kitchen, causing everyone to stare at me since my heels like to make noise. I look down at my heels and back up to the dining table with a furious look on Matt's face. ''Get out!"

Jacob and Shawn grab Matt before he could get out of his seat and calm him. Mahogany gives a look to Matt. ''Enough! She's a guest, leave her be.'' 

''An unwelcomed one,'' Matt growls. 

I take a deep breath, trying to stay strong and walk to the table only being able to hear the clicking and clacking of my heels. I sit down in front of Matt and look down at my plate full of steak, mash potatoes, and broccoli. Matt continually stabs his fork onto the plate, scaring me each time.  

I suck it up and clear my throat, killing the silence. ''Not knowing where all that hatred came from really makes me concerned about you, Matt.'' 

''Call me Matthew. I don't need unworthy people having the opportunity to use such a special name on me,'' Matt says, clearly ignoring my question. Ouch. 

''Cocky much?'' I tilt my head, trying to show hatred in return. It's hard to do that if you love the person so much. It's hard to take in, knowing that the person who used to love you... Hates you.
