"Who was he?" I asked Hattie as soon as  the man stepped out of our house.

"Look, lets sit down and then we can discuss this properly okay?" She sighed, and sat down on the coach and tapped the spot next to her indicating for me to sit down beside her.

"Okay, so who was he?" I already knew the answer, but I wanted it to not be true, I wanted her to deny my thoughts.

"His name is Ryan, and he works as a lawyer." She answered my question, but not the way I wanted her too. I exhaled before answering again.

"I meant, who is he to you?" I didn't want Hattie to have a boyfriend, or whatever older people call it.

"I really like him, and he really likes me, does that answer your question?" She continued, not giving me a direct answer.

I felt anger surge through out my body. I don't know why but I didn't want Hattie to belong to anyone except me, she was mine and no one elses.

"Hattie, we've been here for like two weeks, and you've already hooked up with someone, Hattie how could you?" I screamed at her.

My mum had died, whilst giving birth to my youngest sister, when I was three so I had never really known her, and Hattie was the closest thing to my mum and she was all I had, I couldn't bare the thought of her just leaving me and going off with this strange man.

"Eve, please calm down." She tugged at my arm, trying to pull me into her inviting arms, but I pulled away.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down? Hattie what's gotten into you?" I shrieked, backing away from the women on the coach, she wasn't Hattie, she couldn't be Hattie.

"Eve, all my life, I've looked after you, and I've protected you, and now I just want a bit of happiness, why can't I have that?" She had tears running down her cheeks.

"You can, but I don't want you to leave me," I collapsed onto the coach, and let my tears and cries be muffled by the coach.

"I love you Eve, I know you're not my daughter and I can't replace your mother, but I love you, and I would never ever leave you for anyone, you must know that." 

I guess it was just pure jealousy, that had caused me to react that way, but I knew, well I thought I knew that if Hattie had a man in her life, I wouldn't be nearly as important to her as I was too her now.

I lifted my head off the coach, not taking any notice of what Hattie had just said, I sprinted to my room, I didn't want to see Hattie or think about her and her boyfriend for much longer. 

She didn't try to chase after me, I guess she thought I needed cooling off time. When I reached my bedroom, I quickly banged the door shut, and sat against it, and began sobbing.

It seemed I had been doing a lot of crying lately, but why shouldn't I be? 

Everything had been going perfectly, my secret was in the shadows, no one knew what I was really feeling inside, I had some good friends, but then Hattie had to ruin it all for me. My one chance of happiness, and she had to take it away from me.

I stayed in that position for quite a while, until I realised, there was no need to cry over Hattie, if she'd ruined my life, all I had to do was get her back. At this point I wasn't thinking straight, I just wanted to hurt Hattie, the way she had hurt me.
