"i get so damn jealous when it comes to you."

"Annie can you help me with this?" Hayley asked, sticking a paper in my face. "What is that hay?" I asked taking the paper from her.

"It's homework. I have to interview someone." She said sitting besides me on the couch. "Why not Paige." I asked. "I want to interview you." She smiled.

She began asking questions, pretty basic ones. After her homework, I went to my room to think. Think about Hayden and what he was telling me about. He kissed my head. Does that mean anything?

Wait! I have Dylan's number! I quickly grab my phone off my desk and text him.

Annie- Hi Dylan!
Dylan- Oh hey Annie! What's up?
Annie- Is Hayden home?
Dylan- No, but he said he'll be back.
Annie- Any idea where?
Dylan- Nope.
Annie- Well then. Can I come over if that okay with you?
Dylan- Definitely!
Annie- Great, be there in 5

I quickly went to the bathroom and brushed my hair out to look presentable. I walk out with my phone to the kitchen, where Paige was apparently cooking something.

"Hey Paige, can I go over to the Summerall house?" I asked keeping interest in her cooking. "Okay. Be home by 5:00." She said.

I thanked her and grabbed the car keys. I walkout the parking area and head on off.

"Hey Dylan!" I greet him at his door step. "Hi Annie! Come on in." He smiled opening the door wider. I walked in, wow. The house is pretty cool. "Nice house." I said walking over to the kitchen with him.

We talked a bit about life and how things have been. I've tried avoiding all the family questions, but I couldn't. "Dylan, I've been keeping a secret. After you guys moved away, things changed for us. My dad lost his job, we moved into a smaller house, my mom started drinking and then Caleb and my mom passed away. And I haven't seen my dad ever again." I said trying not to cry.

"Oh my god Annie. I am so sorry." Dylan said embracing me into a hug. I cried in his arms for a bit. I asked where the bathroom was and walked there.

I went upstairs and passed a few bedrooms until one caught my eye. I'm assuming it's Hayden's. I feel a little guilty about doing this, but, I open the door, slowly.

I look inside and looks like any other teenage boy bedroom. I enter and look around. It's pretty messy. I look on a certain wall and it has pictures. I see a picture of us. When we were 12.

It was him tickling me.

-flashback, authors pov-
"Annie! Give me back my hat!" Young Hayden said, chasing around Annie. "Never!" Annie exclaimed running from Hayden. Hayden chased Annie around until, "Okay Annie! Here comes the tickle monster!" Hayden said catching up to Annie and tickling her.
-end of flashback-

I smiled at that picture and continued to roam around. I almost tripped over his jacket on the floor. I roll my eyes and pick it up.

It seems like a nice black leather jacket. I flip it around to read 'Shadow' on the back. I sigh and toss it on his bed. I walk back down since my tears dried away.

"Are you okay Annie? I'm so sorry." Dylan said giving me another hug. "Yeah." I sigh. I pull away from his hug and say bye.

I ride back home and run up the apartment complex. Today's been an interesting day.
