Ella's POV

"Ella we're home!" My brother’s voice rings through the house.

"Come on let's go see your family!" Hunter says, grabs my hand my drags me out of my room.

"I hope my mom is alright." I whisper to Hunter.

"I'm sure she is." He replies letting go of my hand.

"Ella darling!" My mom says from behind me.

"Mom! You're ok!" I exclaim and go hug her.

"Of course I am! I just hit my head a little bit." She tells me.

"Samantha! Austin!" My dad yells up the stairs. "Cheryl's home!"

"She is?" Samantha says coming down the stairs in her house pink house coat.

"Cheryl! It's nice that you're home." Austin says coming down the stairs.

"Are you sure you're fine?" I ask.

"Yes I just fainted and went to the hospital. I'm fine." My mom tells us.

"She just needs to get some rest." My dad says.

"I'm fine Scott. I do not need sleep." My mom says.

"What made you faint in the first place?" Hunter asks.

"I'm just haven't been getting enough sleep." My mom tells us making us laugh.

"You should get some sleep Cheryl." Austin says. "We will all be here when you wake up."

"Maybe not in this exact room but around this house somewhere." Chace says making us all laugh again.

"I'll take you to our room honey." My dad says to my mom and everyone goes their own ways.

"I'm going to go talk to your brother." I tell Hunter.

"Ok but if he makes you mad just walk away."

"Thanks for the advice. If he makes me mad I will use it." I say to Hunter and go to the kitchen where Austin just went.

"Austin!" I say starling him a little bit. "Can we please talk?"

"Us needing to talk is long overdue, so yes we can talk." He tells me.

"I just want to apologize for overreacting."

"What did I do to make you so mad?" He asks.

"I was going up to your room to tell you I was going to go surfing with you and the other boys and you had a girl named Stacey in your room and I heard you say to her that I was no one important to you and honestly it hurt. Mostly because we've known each other for so long." I explain.

"You know I didn't mean that."

"But I didn't know it at the time." I say trying to hold back the tears that are coming to my eyes. "And who is Stacey? I recognize the name and the voice."

"It's Stacey Ferguson." He says in a low tone.

"Stacey Ferguson, like the Stacey Ferguson my brother used to date?" I ask him starting to get mad.

"Yes that Stacey." He replies.

"How could you do that? You know she was his first girlfriend! Are you the reason she broke up with him?"

"Yes. You don't know how terrible I felt-feel about it!" He practically yells.

"If you felt terrible about it you wouldn't still be sleeping with her!" I scream hopping no one in the house can hear us.
