Are We Normal Yet?

~Chapter 3~

*Later that day*

There is a knock on my bedroom door.

???: Can I come in?

Me: I guess you may.

The door opens and in walks my oldest brother - Hayden.

Hayden is 18 and is my half brother. He has dark brown curly hair and is mixed race. We have the same dad - just different mums.

Hayden: Hey, Jason told me what happened. Are you okay?

Me: I'm fine, I'd rather not talk about it.

Hayden: And I completely understand that, I just wanted to see if you were okay.

I look up a Hayden and smile.

Me: That's kind of you.

Hayden: Well, you are my little sister. It's my duty to check up on you.

Me: Well Hayden, I'm doing good, just kind of stressing.

Hayden cocks his head to one side.

Hayden: Why's that?

I sigh and roll my eyes.

Me: Grace and Noah are making me go to a house party tomorrow.

Hayden sits down next to me on my bed.

Hayden: What's wrong about that?

Me: I don't know if I want to face a party right now. Grace thinks it'd be better than sitting in my room eating ice cream and watching Netflix. If you ask me, that's the best kind of party.

Hayden: But maybe they have a point.

I groan.

Me: Not you too!

Hayden: No seriously, a night out with your two best mates is better than moping in your room. Whose party is it?

Me: One of Noahs mates, Jaeden.

Hayden: Have you met him before?

Me: Nope but according to Grace, he's 'good looking'.

Hayden: Well there you go! You'll be fine surrounded by fit lads.

Me: Ugh please. I am so done with lads.

Hayden: Somehow I find that hard to believe.

Hayden stands up

Hayden: Just go and enjoy yourself. You deserve it.

Me: Thanks Hayden, I guess I'll try too.

Hayden walks to the door.

Hayden: Mum will be back in an hour. She's asked me to order in. Your usual?

I grin

Me: You know it.

Hayden grins back and turns to leave

Me: Oh, Hayden?

Hayden stops and looks at me

Hayden: Yeah?

Me: What exactly did Jason tell you?

Hayden: Oh, just that the prick had the nerve to cheat on you. Why? Was there more to it?

I absolutely cannot tell Hayden about the rest. He would defiantly go to the police.

Me: No, not really. Just that he was cheating on me with his ex.
