I was currently hiding in Alicia's room. There was no way I could go back downstairs and face everyone, especially him. I know, I was acting very childish considering the last time I had actually seen Hayden was when we were fourteen years old. I know a lot can happen in three years. He probably forgot all those embarrassing memories of me desperately trying to gain his attention.
Hayden Ross was now a complete stranger to me. There was nothing left for him in my heart, or so I hoped.
"What are you doing?"
I quickly snapped my head around to see Andrew standing in the doorway of Alicia's room. I quickly jumped to my feet and Andrew tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face. "I can understand how weird this looks—"
"So this is what you've been doing for the past ten minutes?" Andrew chuckled and I looked down at the ground. "Hiding in your little sister's room I see."
I didn't even bother to try and think of a logical explanation as to why I was hunched over in my little sister's room. "I was looking for Alicia." I lied quickly walking towards the door. "Guess she's not in here."
"Khloe," Andrew held out his hand before I had a chance to squeeze past him. "Is there something or someone, in particular, you're hiding from?" He questioned and my face burned from
embarrassment.I shook my head too quickly. "No, not really." My words were a mumble. "Why might you ask that, Andrew?"
He shrugged his shoulders dismissing my question. "Just thought I'd ask." Andrew moved over to the side slightly, so that I could get out of Alicia's room. I think I've spent enough time in here overthinking my whole life. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
I smiled at Andrew. "Of crouse." I nodded my head. The relationship Andrew and I had wasn't always common. I accepted Andrew and Alicia very quickly. Although he wasn't my dad and he knew that, Andrew was still always there for me. I never felt like he was trying to replace my dad.
"Your mother is looking for you. No more hiding." Andrew smiled and I giggled in response.
Sadly Andrew was right. It was quite strange that seventeen-year-old Khloe was hiding in her little sister's room filled with barbie dolls and Disney princesses.
I had to practically drag my own feet down the stairs and as soon as I reached the bottom, I felt myself being smashed into something hard sending waves of pain throughout my whole body. "Ouch," I hissed in pain. "that stupid wall."
"I'm definitely not a wall."
I immediately took a step back and looked up with wide eyes to see Hayden standing right in front of me with a boyish smirk playing on his lips. The more I looked at him, the more I realized just how much he had changed. He was insanely tall with broad shoulders and defined muscles peeking through his tight shirt. His hair was longer but curlier than I had remembered and he still had those captivating hazel green eyes.
