The past
Andre kissed Hollie as he dropped her off. He headed back home. As he entered his home, his big brother, August, ran down the stairs. "Hey bro." he greeted. "What up?"
"Oh nothing, dad left for Manchester, mom's home early, oh and you have a guest and she's staying over for dinner." he said nonchalantly. "Who?"
"Hello Andre." a British accent said, a too familiar voice. He put on a false shocked face, and turned around to the source, " if it isn't Camryn Woods, how long has it been?" Camryn looked surprised by his antics, but covered her act quickly, "Oh my, you've grown, I've missed you terribly, my love,"
"When did you arrive?" she pulled out an innocent look, "A week ago, I was at school today, don't you remember " Dre furrowed his eyebrows in fake confusion, "Oh right, I didn't get time to catch up with you because, I was going out with my girlfriend Hollie, my love." Camryn facade dropped instantly by the mention of her name and Andre didn't miss the little action, he smirked and turned around.
"Oh, and please tell my mother I can't make it for dinner tonight, maybe a rain check?" he didn't wait for a reply as he walked up the grand staircase, "I appreciate it, and my deepest apologies, " as he winked and carried on.

It was around nine o'clock, when Andre was at the front of Hollie's house, throwing pebbles at her window. Knowing Hollie, she was asleep by now.
Hollie got startled by the pounding on her window, getting up from her bed, she walked towards the window glancing at what was happening, she opened her window, getting pebbled right on her forehead, she cursed loudly at the action, and prepared to curse out the person responsible for this, "Motherfu- Andre, what are you doing here?" the look on Andre's face, gave it all away, she sighed, "I will be right back, let me change and meet me at the back door." Andre gave her a grateful look, and walked back.
Hollie stepped away from the window, glancing at her Spongebob pajama shorts and her over-sized Minnie Mouse t-shirt. She grabbed her over-sized jersey and walked out of her room, untying the braids she made with her hair.
"Andre, where you at?" it was already getting dark, and him not appearing right away, slightly scared her. "Andre, I'm not playing, where are you?" she walked out of the house, glancing at the backyard, "Andre!" she walked further, she sighed as she couldn't spot him, turning around coming face to face with Andre, she let out a surprised squeal. Glaring at the idiot, "Andre, for fucks sake, would you stop doing this?" she palmed her face out of frustration, Andre shook his head, smiling slightly. But just as the smile came, it left.
Hollie noticed the quick change, and walked ahead. "C'mon," she nudged her head towards the street, Hollie lead him for a walk in the moonlight. They walked a couple of blocks before they reached the park.
Hollie grabbed his hand leading him to a near by bench. They sat down and Hollie immediately circled her arms round Andre as they sat in silence.
"Camryn came over." he blurted out, not standing the silence anymore. "Uh huh", nudging him to continue. "My dad's gone to Manchester, which we all know, has gone for his latest fling." he let out a frustrated sigh, Hollie put her small hand on his shoulder, soothing him, "I just don't understand him anymore, Hollie. Are we not good enough for him. Can't lie, my mother isn't all that good too, but can't they just think of us." he placed his elbows on his thighs and clasped his hands over his face.
"Dre, have you ever thought of sitting down with them and talking it out?" Andre unclasped his hands, that were covering his face, and looked at Hollie, Hollie saw the tears that filled his eyes.
"Andre, hiding your feelings is not the easy way out but, but sometimes it's the only thing you can do." Andre looked up at the sky, staring at the stars. Thinking over about this whole situation and Hollie looked at him with adoration and looked up at the sky too.
"The stars don't look bright tonight, it's so funny, that when I look up at the stars, you're the first thing that comes in my mind." Andre looked at Hollie, rolling his eyes at her for being so cheesy.
"You know what's really so funny, is that you're the only person that could make me smile." Andre joined in with the cheesy remarks, "I'm just trying to make you smile, 'cause when you smile the whole world smiles with you." she added with a wink.
"You're so weird, Hollie. But I'm hungry, let's go grab a bite." he got up dragging Hollie along to the nearby Pizza Hut.
After ordering their pizza, and getting half way through the pizza, they sat down at the booth carrying on with their talk from early.
"You're so cheesy Hollie, cheesier than the pizza."
"I know babe, I'm so full right now." as soon as the sentence left her mouth, Geoffrey, the owner, walked out the kitchen, Geoffrey, who was a very good friend of theirs ,walked towards their table, "Who wants dessert?"
"MEEEEEE!" Andre gave her a bored look and rolled his eyes and chuckled.
After finishing up their dessert, they decided to call it a night, Andre, who was spending the night at Hollie's house, kissed her a goodnight and fell asleep immediately.

On the other hand, Camryn was still at Andre's place, thinking he would be there, "He's not coming, his with that God forsaken girl. But you could stay over." she smiled sweetly, Annette, Andre's mother, who had taken a great disliking of Hollie the first time the met, apparently it was the tone of her skin that caused this.
"Goodnight aunt, I'll be in his room. Sleep well" Camryn gave a tight smile and walked towards his room.
Camryn was obsessed with Andre, she walked towards his bathroom and took a shower, using his body wash, grabbing a pair of his boxers and his shirt. And sleeping in his bed.
