On Saturday morning, I get up kinda early and get ready. Nicole's going back home today and I'm dropping her off at the airport.

"I had fun this week." Nicole says as I pull up to the airport.

"So did I. I wish we lived closer so we can hang out more."

"Yeah. So, I'll see you in 3ish weeks!" She says hugging me.

"Yes! Can't wait!"

She gets out of the car and grabs her bag from the trunk.

"Bye! Talk to you soon!" Nicole says walking into the building.

After dropping her off at the airport, I'm going to my dad's house for the first time all summer. It should be interesting.

~~

"So Chels, how was your summer?" Rachael, my dads wife, asks me.

"Amazing." I say.

"What'd you do?"

"Well, in June, I met R5, and the rest of the summer, I just hung out with friends and played softball."

Just because I don't like her, doesn't mean I don't talk to her.

"Sounds like you had a good summer." My dad says.

"Yep. Wanna see the picture I took with R5?" I ask.

I take out my phone and show them the m&g pic.

"Sophie took the picture and cropped it so it was just me and Ross." I say showing them that pic. "Everyone says we'd be a cute couple."

"As much as I hate to say it, but you two do look cute together." Dad admits.

"I wanna see!" Rachael says reaching for my phone, talking like a spoiled brat.

She looks at the picture for a second.

"Do we look cute?"

"No." She says bluntly.

"What?" I ask a little offended.

"No, you guys don't look cute together. I wouldn't get my hopes up of him ever liking you either. He could have any girl in the world, and I'm sure he's had a few, why would he want you? You're nothing to him."

This is why I don't like her. She always talks me down and makes me feel like crap.

"Excuse me?" I ask with a little attitude.

"You heard me. You're just another obsessed fan, he'd never want you."

"You're just jealous that I've met my favorite band. You know, instead of treating me like dirt, you could be happy for me for once."

I get up and walk outside. My dad follows.

"Chelsea. You need to go back in there and apologize." He says.

"For what? She's sitting there telling me that I'm nothing and you're making me apologize to her? Well I'm not." I yell. "Growing up you two always told me not to hold it in and let it out, so I do that and you yell at me. Wow dad."

I walk to my car and dad stops me.

"Chelsea wait, I never get to see you anymore. You can't leave."

"Well dad, maybe if you didn't marry her, I'd come around more often." I say getting in my car.

I go straight home and run into my room.

"Chels, what's wrong?" Mom asks coming into my room.

"I just came from dads, do I really need to answer that?"

"Rachael?"

"Yep. I showed her the picture from the concert and she told me that Ross would never want a nobody like me."

"She's pathetic."

"You're telling me."

I talk to my mom for a while, then we decide to go out to dinner.
