I shove the door open into Annie's room and she's standing there naked while I'm holding a beer bottle. She turns to look at me and my god she is beautiful. Cut the crap Brennan, you hate her!

I hold the beer bottle above her head before I realise what I'm actually doing.

"I-I'm s-sorry", I say before leaving the room.

What was I doing? I'm just going to make things worse between us. She's staying with us and she's going to be scared of me now. She's not going to want to come home.

I hear her sniffling from her room. It reminds me of when Caleb passed away and every time she would stay the night here, you could here her sniffling as she cried herself to sleep.

I put my head down and walk upstairs to my room.

Everyone tries to talk to me but I just ignore them. I wish I was nice enough to go into Annie's room and comfort her, but she hates me and she always will, especially after what I just tried to do. And especially when Caleb's 6 year anniversary is coming up in 5 days.

A tear trickles down my cheek. I can't be like this. I hate Annie, with all my guts.

I lean out the window and pull out a smoke.

I have bigger problems to worry about anyway.
