Double Take

Chapter 20

*Brynn's POV*

Lynn slammed my bedroom door so hard it felt like it shook the whole house. I stood there motionless. My head was pounding from the massive headache I awoke with this morning. I felt sick to my stomach knowing I probably just crushed my sister by sleeping with her boyfriend.

It was never my intention to do this to her. Even after all of the stuff that has happened between us and how much she has angered me, I would never ever hurt her like I know I just did.

I don't even remember what happened last night. All I know is I woke with a naked Liam beside me, and that just gave away how I ended my night.

After a while of just standing there feeling like complete shit, I grabbed my phone and threw on one of my sweatshirts and left the house.

I decided to let my feet take me wherever they wanted to. Where I ended up surprised me, but it felt like the right place to be.

I walked up to to the front door of the house and knocked.

"Brynn!" The familiar lady said after she opened the door.

"Hi, Mrs.Rooney," I smiled. I hoped I didn't look like too much of a wreck. While I was walking over here I threw my ratty, straight hair into a ponytail. I hadn't looked in a mirror at all this morning, so I had no idea what my face looked like but I was guessing it probably wasn't too pretty. And for my attire, I had a pair of black sweatpants that said Pink in white letters on the butt, and a grey hoodie. I don't even think I threw a bra on either. I probably looked homeless.

"Come on in! I don't know if Kyle's up, but you can go check," she said gesturing me inside the house.

I smiled, "Okay,"

I scurried up the stairs and down the hallway to Kyle's room.

I knocked but got no answer. I then quietly opened the door and found Kyle sound asleep.

I felt a smile appear on my face. He looked adorable when he slept.

I decided not to wake him knowing he hates being woken up by people. I shut the door quietly behind me and tiptoed over to his computer desk and sat in the fun spiny chair he has.

The inner child in me kicked in the minute I sat down and I started to spin in it. Not realizing how careless I was being while spinning in it, I knocked into the desk and caused a couple books to fall off one of the shelves and it the wooden floor in his room. I cringed, hoping it didn't wake him up. But Kyle's a light sleeper, so of course it woke him up.

"Hey, what are you doing messing up my shit," Kyle mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"Sorry, I was trying to be quiet and not wake you up,"

"Well, you weren't trying too hard," he chuckled, "what are you doing here?"

"I don't really know. I just had to get out of my house this morning and I just started walking and this is where I ended up,"

"Oh,"

"I can leave if you don't want me here, I guess it was stupid to show up here considering how things have been kind of cold between us," I said standing up from the chair.

"No, stay. I'm glad you're here," he smiled.

"Really?" I was shocked after how mad he was at me and after how long it's been since we've talked.

"Yeah, we need to talk about things. But first, I want to know why you needed to get out of your house,"

I sighed, "Don't judge me too harshly,"
