"So how was the interview?" Maddie called through the phone. I sighed.

"I think it went well, but everyone knows I'm not an expert at judging things like that."

"We need to hang out."

"Yeah, we do." I agreed, putting my pen and notepad away after reading through the letters of recommendation my former teachers had actually bothered to send me for a possibility in college.

"Today?"

"Why not? Where?"

She stayed silent for a moment. "Let's eat somewhere first and then we'll figure something out. I'm sure you can guess where, right?"

"Of course." I laughed. Maddie and I had one specific restaurant that we always ate at whenever we hung out alone. "Well I'm gonna go get ready, what time should we meet?"

"Hm, maybe an hour from now?"

"Alright, see ya then."

I tossed my phone on the couch and ran into my room to shower and change.

An hour later, I found myself seated in front of Maddie who was ranting about something stupid Tom had said to set her off.

"Mads, calm down."

"I can't calm down! I swear he's such an idiot!"

"Yes, that's been established. C'mon just calm down. He's your brother, of course he's gonna get on your nerves."

"And how would you know that?"

Ouch. "I just do."

"Your brothers can't even walk."

What the hell? "Are you insulting my brothers?"

"No, sorry." She said quietly.

We sat in silence for a moment before she took a deep breath and stood up. "I've gotta go."

"We just sat down."

She ignored me and walked off. Whatever, I'll just go visit my family.

I rolled my eyes and threw some money on the table before walking out of the restaurant and to my car. Hopping in, I started the car and drove off to my old home, humming Avenged Sevenfold the whole way.

"Must've stabbed her fifty fucking times, I can't believe it." I turned off the car after parking horribly in the drive. According to the lack of other vehicles, Steph appeared to be the only one home. So I thought.

I walked up to the door, knocked, and who opened the door?

My dad.
