"Well aren't you going to give your big sister a hug? I've missed you so much." she assured, walking over to me embracing me in a hug.

"Yea, yea I'm sorry sis, I'm just shocked is all. I've missed you too, I must go right now. I need to take a bath & get ready for tonight. Talk later?" I exclaimed, taking in a deep breath before turing around. "Excuse me Ryan, I need to go upstairs." I state, with a hint of anger in my voice.

"Come here buddy, I missed you. What's been going on? Give your old pal a hug." he blurted, laying his arms around me. My flesh started to crawl almost instantly. The nerve of him, touching me after what he did. I shrugged my way out of his grip and made my way upstairs.

I quickly grabbed a towel & headed to shower. I locked the door behind me, resting my head on the door breathing rather harsh. I start shedding my clothes piece by piece hopping in the shower, I let the steamy hot water pound on my back. Thinking about everything that has happened lately and now they're here. This can't end well.

**********

After a hour long shower, I hop out wrapping my towel around my waist. I brush my hair back and open the door to head to my room. Checking to make sure no one was around specifically him. I saw no one in sight as I walked towards my room, good I wasn't being followed.

Checking my phone, I realized I needed to hurry and get myself together. "Wow, how I've missed you CiCi." he whispered, I basically froze in my footsteps as he approached me.

"Get.out."

"Or what? You'll scream & fight? C'mon CiCi, you and I both know you won't. You don't have it in you." he admitted, reaching out to grip my shoulder. He whipped me around and, stared into my eyes. My face heated with embarrassment & chest tightened with heartache, until I realized, this has to stop. I slap his hand off my shoulder & pushed him back.

"You will not hurt me anymore. You don't care about anyone but yourself, just get out! NOW!" I yelled, pointing towards the door.

"I-I'm-" I cut him off by, gesturing my hand towards to door once more. I refuse to have this happen to me again, I can't take it. He turned away and walked out the door, turning back around once her was outside it. I ran and slammed the door shut before he could even say anything.

I quickly recollected myself and started to get dressed. Not long after my mom came knocking at the door, opening it ever so slowly.

"Sweetheart, is everything alright? Are you dressed?" she asked, opening the door as she spoke.

"Yea mom, I'm fine & I'm almost done. Just have to fix this tie, you look gorgeous by the way." I blurted, turning to the mirror.

"Here let me help you, your father can never get these things right. Luckily your grandmother taught me, there you go. You look just like your father, Carson. Let's go."

"Wait, they aren't coming right? My sister & Ryan I mean. It would be awkward especially since Darilyn hasn't met either one of them." she shook her head no, which gave me a satisfying feeling in my stomach. Heading down to the car, I noticing I forgot my phone upstairs. I went back up to get it & suddenly came face to chest with a eager & familiar pair of arms. Almost instantly I slapped him silly, leaving a huge dark red bruise on his cheek. I grabbed my phone & got down the steps as fast as I could. Damn these casts, I can't wait to get them off.
