Foster Kids

Hailey

The next morning I got up early. Kalans parents were going to take me to church. I've never been to church, but I said I would go.

"Do I have to dress fancy?" I asked Kalan as we slowly got out of bed. "No, not really. Just not all trashy." I nodded my head and went to my bag. I grabbed a turquoise long sleeve. I had cut myself the night of the shooting. Only Kalan knew. It wasn't to bad, but I didn't want anyone to know. I grabbed shorts, not short shorts. I went to the bathroom, put on my clothes, put mascara, eyeliner, then I wore my hair down and twisted my bangs back as usual. I looked in the mirror. My eyes seemed to be so big. I looked cute.

I walked out of the bathroom and saw Austin walk out of Justin's room. He was rubbing his eyes sleepily then he looked at me and stopped. "Woah." He rubbed his eyes some more. I smiled and walked into Kalans room. I still felt his eyes on me. I closed the door. "Aaww you look pretty." She said. "Thanks." I went to my bag and grabbed an owl necklace. "How's this." I asked. She put a thumbs up and smiled. Kalan wore a green dress that went to her knees, it was beautiful on her.

"Were here." Said Kalans dad. The church wasn't to big, but wasn't small. It had a garden in the front, with beautiful flowers. Kids ran here and there playing tag. I laughed quietly remembering when I was a little kid.

We sang a few songs. I didn't sing loud, but quietly to myself. I knew some of the songs but not all of them. Austin stood next to me and knew that I was sometimes lip singing.

I looked at the back and saw Cherry. She didn't see me, but she seemed to enjoy herself. Just by looking at her I knew she was a good singer. I started to be happy that I had a sister. I would have to make it up to her later for being a jerk.

"What'd you think?" Asked Kalans mom.

"I liked it. I found it really...." I had to think of the right words. "Inspiring. And helpful.... It made me kinda feel at peace." She smiled.

I walked inside the house and sat in Kalans room. She giggled. "What?" I asked.

"Asher's gonna come over for a bit." She blushed. "He's my brothers friend." I looked at her.

"YOU LIKE A GUY!!" I said in disbelief. I laughed and started to jump up and down.

Kalan, Asher, and Austin were in the living room talking about some show. I sat on Kalans bed going threw my phones pictures. I laughed at the ones with me and Kalan goofing off. "Wow... That's different." I whirled around and saw Justin looking over my shoulder at my phones screen. "Oh, uh, I was just going through my phone." I said, quickly turning off my phone. He sat on the bed looking around his sisters room. "I've never really been in her room, looking at everything. She always kicks me out before I can see anything." He said laughing. I laugh and we stare at each other for a bit. I smile and start to look away, he leans in fast and kisses me. 'What am I doing!' I said in my head. I wasn't exactly kissing back, he pulls away. I look at him astonished. "S-s-sorry." He said. "Justin, you know Austin and I are a thing. He would kill you." He nods. "But I love you as a brother."

"It's just, my two friends like my sister and....... You." He looked at me. His eyes were full of hatred but looked sad. "Aaww. You'll find a girl that will be perfect and will love you." I said. I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Hey, Hailey I was wondering-" Austin was walking in and stopped. He looked at me, then Justin. Justin jumped up. "Dude it's not what you think!"

"IT BETTER NOT BE!"

Austin grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and was about to drag him out, I ran to him and made him let go. "What was it you were wondering?" I asked. Justin slipped away. I locked eyes with Austin keeping him focused on me not Justin. "Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to go out?"

"Austin..... Maybe we could go get Ice cream but nothing fancy. I don't wanna go to fast." He nodded his head, he looked a little disappointed, but happy we could get ice cream. I leaned in close and tricked him by giving him a hug. He hugged back but pushed me into Kalans room. He gently put his lips on mine. I kissed back. I wanted to just pull him to me and forget everything else and everyone. I grab the collar of his shirt pressing my body against his. I felt his hands behind my back radiating heat through my shirt. After a couple seconds he moved away and smiled. "So... Ice cream then?" I nodded and smiled.
