CHAPTER 1
SAVANNAH
I was lying in my bed, almost asleep after trying for the last two hours when I hear a knock on the front doors. I sat straight up and felt my heart beat speed up; it was almost midnight and was pouring rain outside. Who the hell goes to someone’s house at almost midnight in the pouring rain?
My heart was definitely beating faster than normal as I walked down the hallway to our front door. I tiptoed into the kitchen and grabbed the meat cleaver from the butchers block. I knew I was probably overreacting but I felt better knowing I had something to protect me.
I put my hand on the knob for a second before opening, the meat cleaver in my other hand that was shaking. This person had to be crazy if they decided to come over here at midnight in the pouring rain. I tightened my grip on the handle of the meat cleaver as I twisted the knob and swung the door open. “Jesus it took you long enough” summer said stepping around me and coming inside. My grip loosened and my heart beat started to slow down. I rolled my eyes as I set the meat cleaver back in the butchers block and made my way back to the living room where she was now sitting in my dad’s leather recliner. I sat down on the couch across from her. Her blondish brown hair was wet and tangled; her makeup was all messed up.
Me and summer met right after I moved here when I was seven and she ran over to me showing of her Barbie bike her dad just bought her for her birthday, which I found out years later was the same as mine, I honestly didn’t think we would be friends for long because of how different we were but now where almost seventeen and best friends.
“What the hell where you doing coming over here at midnight when it’s pouring rain are you crazy” I snapped standing up and handing her the blanket my dad always kept on the back of the couch. She smirked as she wrapped it around her.
“My mom got arrested” she said staring at me intently waiting for me to answer. I just shrugged because I knew her mom left her with her dad when she was only a couple months old. Summer hated her mom and never bothered to try and meet her I guess she would be happy if her mom got arrested.
“So…” I said waiting for her to tell me why or why she even cared.
“So my brothers moving in with us” she said. I froze. What the hell she had a brother? She never mentioned she had a brother and they sure didn’t have any pictures at her house of a brother. I thought she was an only child.
“You have a brother”
“Well I just found out tonight when my dad told me he was moving in with us” she said playing with the loose thread on the blanket. “all I know is he’s a year older than me I told my dad I didn’t want to hear anything else and locked myself in my room, but I wanted to tell you because your my best friend and I’m freaking out” she said really quick. She always talked fast when she was nervous. I didn’t really know what to say to her it’s not like this happened every day to any other of my friends.
“Umm...wow I thought my family had some pretty bad secrets” I said trying to make her laugh. I guess my family really didn’t have any secrets, none that big. My dad was a doctor so I didn’t really see him much anyways and my mom died when I was three.
“God I know my family is so screwed up” she said playful ling rubbing her arms over her face. “You mind if I sleep over”
“Nah” I said glancing around at my dead silent house.” Dad’s at work so it’s just me and you” I said laying myself out on the couch.
“thanks for listening” I heard summer say, I was too tired to keep talking so I just nodded my head and before I knew it I was sleeping.
When I woke up the next morning summer wasn’t there. I reached around for my phone until I found it lying on the floor. I knew she would have left me a text. There where two texts on my phone from summer.
Hey thnx for listening last night I’ll see u at work.
Don’t forget it’s Friday night everybody’s coming to my house :)
I sent her a smiley face and checked the time summer and I start work at Sarah’s dinner at eleven thirty and it was already nine o’clock I still had another hour before I had to take a shower and get ready. I grabbed the remote of the floor and turned the TV on.

HAYDEN
I didn’t even know I had a sister or a dad forty eight hours ago and now I was being forced to live with them. My mom never even mentioned the fact that I had a sister. I probably would have never of known if she and her new dumbass boyfriend didn’t get arrested.
The house was huge compared to the one bedroom apartment my mom had us living in. as I walked to the front door I saw something tapped to the front door.
HEY HAYDEN,
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOUSE, I’M WORKING LATE TONIGHT THE DOORS UNLOCKED MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE, CHOOSE ANY ROOM YOU WANT ON THE SECOND FLOOR , THE FRIDGE IS FULL TO. YOUR SISTER SUMMER SHOULD BE HOME AT ANY TIME TO GET READY FOR WORK. WELCOME HOME.
YOU’RE DAD,
JASON
I laughed. He wasn’t my dad, he doesn’t even know me. I ripped the note of the door and opened the door which was open just like Jason said. It was a nice house, compared to the whole in the wall place where my mom and I where living. There was a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and marble floors immediately to my right, damn they must have money. I kept walking and found the living room which had a leather couch and two recliners. They were all facing a seventy two inch TV on the wall. I turned around and saw a long hallway and a flight of steps; I took the steps two at a time. There were five doors along the hallway.
The door at the very end of the hallway had pictures tapped everywhere on it. I stepped closer so I could see them. The first one that caught my eye was a picture of two girls in the snow. The one on the right had blondish brown hair and brown eyes, she had to be summer, she looked just like my-our- mom. The girl next to her was a little thinner and had brown hair that went a little past her shoulders with the most shocking blue eyes ever and she was hugging summer – I heard someone scream from behind me making my turn around. Her right hand was on her chest.
“Oh my god you scared the hell out of me I didn’t know you were going to be here so soon” she said walking towards me. She looked even more like my-our- mom then she did in the picture.
“Sorry” I said stepping away from the door “I’m Hayden” I said holding my hand out. She eyed my hand before shaking.
“I’m summer” she said flashing me a quick smile. “I have to go get ready for work, any other room except for that one’s opened” she said pointing to the door at the end.
“Thanks” I said walking in the other direction towards the empty rooms.
I choose one that was on the opposite side of the hallway. It was huge with a king size bed and a flat screen tv hanging on the wall right above the oak dresser. I just stood their staring for a while. I didn’t fit in here at all, but I guess I would have to get used to it until I found something better. Well not better, but more simple I guess. I was still standing there when I heard summer yell something.
“I’m going to work I’ll see you later” she yelled.
“ok” I yelled back still standing in the same spot. I heard the door shut and decided to take a well needed shower, sense I haven’t had one in almost thirty three hours.
Chapter 2
SAVANNAH
Work was absolutely crazy tonight because it was A) Friday and B) some annoying kids birthday. There where kids everywhere and they thought it would be funny to throw crap at summer and I while we were giving them food. At six o’clock when the kids where long gone and mine and summer’s shift where over I could not have been any happier.
“God that’s was a fucking nightmare” summer said grabbing a piece of lettuce that was stuck in her hair and throwing it out of the driver side window. I laughed and she shot me a glare. “I’m serious after that I never want kids” she said turning onto her street.
“I do just not more than two” I said looking at my white shirt stained with all kinds of crap. I was glad everybody wasn’t supposed to be here until nine thirty because I desperately needed a shower. I hope to god when I have kids they definitely didn’t act like the kid’s back at Sarah’s they had no manners whatsoever and the moms did absolutely nothing about it, which really pissed me off.
When she turned into her driveway the kitchen light was on. “Your brothers here already” I asked as we walked the concrete pathway to her door.
“Yeah he came this morning” she said shrugging the door. She didn’t seem as upset about having him there as she did last night. “I’m home” summer yelled holding the door open for me. We both waited for him to answer but no one did. “Hayden” she yelled a little louder this time. Still no answer. “I’ll be right back” she said looking at me then darting for the stairs. I nodded and walked into their kitchen.
Five minutes later summer came back into the kitchen. “Can I take a shower first please I think there’s still cheese in my hair I said jumping off the counter where I was sitting. “Yeah hurry up we still have to order the pizza and bring all the games and movies downstairs” she said opening the frigorator door. I nodded and ran up the stairs to her door. The picture of summer and I on our skiing trip last year was tapped right in the middle of the door. I smiled at it before I went inside her room to grab a pair of plaid pajama shorts and a black tank top from her dresser that I left here from our last sleepover.
When the shower was hot enough I slipped of my clothes and stood under the water to relax my muscles before getting all the crap out of my hair and washing my body with my favorite body soap of ally’s it smelled like green apples.
As soon as I finished I wrapped my towel around me and started brushing my teeth. I was about to open the door of the bathroom when it was opening I jumped back in shock. A tall guy probably like 6’2 was standing there. He had short brown hair and dark brown eyes.
“Shit sorry” he said stepping to the side to let me pass. I looked at him and started laughing.
“Its fine I have a towel around me” I said turning so I could squeeze out the small bathroom door. As I passed my boobs brushed against his chest making my body shiver. I was barely out the door when he slammed it on me. I looked at the closed door. Ok that was weird, usually guys would get excited and try and get more from me, but he just slammed the door in my face.
I glanced at the bathroom door one more time while before I opened the door to summers room. What an asshole I mumbled to myself.
*******
HAYDEN
I waited a couple minutes before going to the bathroom where I left my phone earlier. When the water turned off I waited five minutes before making my way over to the bathroom. When I opened the door someone jumped back. I looked at her threw all the fog in the bathroom and saw the girl from the picture on summer’s door. She had a towel wrapped around her that went a little less than half way between her thighs and knees. Her legs where incredible. I forced myself to look up at her face she was giving me a weird look. “Shit sorry” I said moving aside so she could get through the door where I was still standing. I looked at her when she started laughing.
“It’s fine I have a towel around me” she said smirking. As she passed me I felt her boobs brush against my chest. I clenched my fist until she was out of the bathroom then I slammed the door and looked down at the bulge in my pants. “Dammit” I mumbled staying where I was. I waited a few minutes until I could calm down then grabbed my phone from the sink counter.
When I got back to the room I sat on the bed trying to stop my mind from thinking about the girl in the bathroom. She was hot as hell, but she isn’t the type of girl you want for just a one night stand, she’s the type of girl a guy wants to keep for him and marry one day. She was probably the hottest girl I’ve ever seen, but there was no way I could hook up with her.
If she was friends with summer that meant she was probably rich to and I wouldn’t fit into her world no matter how much I wanted to, she probably wants a lot more than what I could give her. I heard a knock on my door.
“It’s open” I mumbled. The door slowly opened and I saw the girl from the bathroom standing there in plaid pajama shorts and a black tank top. Even with her hair in a messy bun she still looked extremely hot. She stared at me for a second, her eyes where full of anger.
“Summer wants me to tell you pizza’s going to be here in an hour” she said flatly then turned around and closed the door before I could even say anything.
I stayed in the room to avoid seeing shower girl until I heard summer call pizza. I needed to eat something I haven’t eaten sense I got here. When I got to the kitchen summer was grabbing a slice of pizza and shower girl was sitting on the counter eating a piece of pizza with grease smeared by her mouth. I was actually kind of shocked to see her eating like that I would have suspected her to be eating with a fork and knife.
“Hey pizzas here” summer sang handing me a huge slice.
“And it’s delicious” shower girl moaned sending shivers up my spine. I quickly looked back at the pizza then at summer that was now looking down at her phone and grinning from ear to ear.
“Wahoo” she said throwing her arms in the air. I looked at shower girl who mouthed summer’s boyfriend then went back to eating. I watched her mouth as she kept eating her lips where perfect to and- I stopped, nope I can’t think like that this only temporary. “I’ll be back I have to go change, Ross is coming tonight” she said quickly stuffing the crust in her mouth then running out of the kitchen.
*******
SAVANNAH
I was so happy when a bunch of summer and I’s friends started showing up because summer was taking forever to change and I was stuck with Hayden the whole time. I was still extremely pissed that he was such an asshole earlier, but I definitely didn’t want to cause drama. I love drama but I know summer doesn’t so I decided to just ignore it.
I heard someone knock on the door as I finished my slice of pizza and jumped off the counter to get it. I glanced at him on the way out and he looked annoyed like, he was happy I was leaving so he wasn’t in the same room. I bit my tongue so I didn’t say “why didn’t you leave if you’re that annoyed.”
When I opened the door I saw Andrea, Allison, Kylie, Alyssa, and Jasmine standing at the door. Andrea was the first one to see me. She was wearing jeans and a cute hoodie her hair up in a messy bun like mine. “Savannah” she said jumping on me way to quickly causing both of us to fall backwards. Everybody started laughing including me and Andrea. She stood up and reached her hands out to help me. I took them and got back to my feet.
“You okay” Kylie asked me.
“Yeah come on everything’s in the living room” I said turning around and heading for the living room where summer threw a whole bunch of junk food. When I got in their Hayden was already in their eating some of the cookies summer put out and was watching some dirt bike race.
“Hey” he said spotting me and everybody else and flashed me a grin that I had to admit was sexy and would make any girl weak at the knees. I looked at him as he stuffed another cookie in his mouth.
“Who’s this” Andrea purred. I rolled my eyes, Andrea flirted with everybody.
“It ‘girls night go back to your room” I snapped grabbing the bag of cookies from his hand.
“He lives’ here” Alyssa asked eyebrows rose.
“Uh….yeah this is summers brother” I said looking over at him clicking the channel on the remote. “Are going to go to your room” I asked steeping in front of the TV.
“Hell no I’ve always wanted to know what girls talk about at a sleepover.” I rolled my eyes and looked at everybody siting on the floors and couches.
“Whatever” I mumbled sitting next to jasmine and Alyssa on the ground.
“Where’s summer” Allison asked reaching for a bag of hot Cheetos, I rolled my eyes that was ally’s addiction. Mine where Oreos, Andreas was takes, Kylie was chocolate chip cookies, Alyssa’s was potato chips, and jasmine’s addiction is pickles.
“Getting ready Ross is coming over” I said stuffing an Oreo in my mouth. Everybody groaned.
“We might as well start she’ll be up there until he comes” Kylie said standing up. Everybody else nodded and stood up. “Whose turn is it to choose the first game?”
“Allison’s”
“Twister” she shouted right on time. She always chose twister. I smiled and looked at Hayden who was looking at my stomach like he was trying to figure it out. I looked down and saw the tattoo of my name on my hip was showing and pulled my tank top down.
“Hayden you get up and help us move the couches” I asked. He snapped his head back up to my face.
“Sure” he answered getting up. We had everything set up within ten minutes.
After an hour summer still wasn’t downstairs and we were still playing twister there was only three people left. Allison, Andrea, and I.
“Right hand red” Kylie shouted. I was so exhausted and the only red spot was two difficult to get to so I let myself fall. My arms where so sore I was happy to loose for once. Now I know why ally chose twister, she always won. I looked up and saw Hayden watching me. Anger shot threw me he still had the look of annoyance. i was about to get up when I heard the door rang.
“I’ll get it” I said loud enough so everybody could hear it. I was getting annoyed and pissed at hayden so I was glad for a reason to leave the room.
Ross was already in the house and shutting the door when I got to the hallway. “Hey” I said giving him a hug. He hugged me back then released me.
“Where’s summer”
“In her room waiting for you go on up” I said.
“Thanks” he said back giving me a kiss on the cheek. After he disappeared I went into the kitchen instead of back in the living room. I sat on my normal spot on the counter. I was getting really irritated with Hayden. He’s sitting there acting like I’m a piece of gum stuck on his shoe. I didn’t care if he didn’t like me but he could at least be nice and pretend to. Jesus why do I care about it so much, I usually just say fuck you, I don’t care if you like me or not. I like him, that’s why I cared so much.
Obviously he doesn’t feel the same way or he wouldn’t have slammed the door in my face like that and act like being in the same room with me is a hard thing. I just needed to stay clear of him.
“You okay” I heard Hayden asked. I looked at him standing there, he actually looked concerned. I snorted and jumped of the counter. How could he be so annoyed one second the concerned the next.
“No I’m going home” I snapped walking to the hallway.
“What why” he asked confused. I looked at him and started laughing. Confusion showed on his face. I grabbed my shoes and started putting them on when his hand landed on my arm sending tingles through my body. “Hello can you tell me why” he asked.
I looked at him, then my shoes, then back at him. “I’m leaving cause of you” I admitted slipping on my other shoe.
“What the hell did I do” he snapped. “I’ll I’ve done was try and see if you were okay”
“What about slamming the door in my face or acting like you can’t stand to be in the same room” I snapped standing up. He didn’t say anything he just stared at me like I was stupid. “Tell summer to text me later when she’s done with Ross” I added walking out the door and slamming it behind me.
Chapter 3
HAYDEN
I was really getting pissed off at the fact for the last two days sense Savannah walked out the door I can’t stop thinking about her. I wasn’t annoyed by her at all I was annoyed at the fact that she was the most Amazing person I’ve ever seen and all I could do was sit there and do nothing about it. I wanted to kiss her so bad the night of the party but I made myself stop because this was only temporary and I was already falling for savannah, if I kissed her I probably wouldn’t be able to leave.
I had to leave though, I didn’t fit into this at all and I thought so many times maybe she won’t care I can’t give her anything. But if I had everything I wanted I wouldn’t give it up for some girl.
I decided to call one of the girls that were at the party to see if she wanted to hang out, maybe if we hung out I could at least stop thinking about savannah temporarily and she wouldn’t stop flirting with me at the party so I knew she would say yes.
When I called her we made plans to go to dinner at Sarah’s diner on Friday. Usually I would be all over some slutty girl to get sex, but with savannah it was totally different, she wasn’t like any of the girls I’ve slept with I was definitely falling for her, the one person I can’t have.
*******
SAVANNAH
I avoided Hayden for the rest of the week only hanging out with summer when she came over to my house, she kept asking if something happened between us because we were so persistent on avoiding each other, but I told her I just didn’t like him and he was an ass. He only been her for a week and is already causing trouble.
I couldn’t stop thinking about him though, how incredibly hot he was and how much jerk he was. Why was he such a jerk, maybe it was for the best that he hated me right? If we hooked up it would just be awkward and cause more strain on my friendship with summer then he was already putting on it.
Today was Friday and I ‘m getting ready for my shift at Sarah’s which I started late tonight. I just got done and was heading to the door when I decided I wasn’t going to tip toe around him like we did hook up. Nothing happened between us, it’s not awkward, and I wasn’t going to act like we did hook up.
Work was busy as usual like every Friday. For such a small diner everybody loved hanging out there on Friday nights.
I was an hour and a half into my shit and thoroughly annoyed after some girl from my high school kept sending her chicken back saying it wasn’t cooked enough, cooked too much, to dry or to crunchy it really annoyed the hell out of me then to make it worse when I told her we wouldn’t cook another one she threw her diet coke on me. I was about to hit her when summer grabbed me and told me to calm down.
It’s been almost an hour sense the stuck up bitch threw her drink at me, I was still royally pissed and wanted to hit her but summer was watching me like a hawk, I smiled at summer and watched as they finally left.
I was so busy cleaning up after a family with five kids I didn’t even notice that Hayden came in and sat down at the booth where the stuck up girl sat until I was heading back to the kitchen with arms full of plates and glasses. I almost dropped everything when I saw Andrea sitting practically on his lap.
