Chapter 1: Arrival

"He's the most annoying asshole you will ever meet. That's basically all you need to know." Hayley said to me as we headed to her uncle's house. We arrived in Virginia about ten minutes ago from Georgia.

"Keep your eyes on the road and watch your language." Her mom, Miss Carol, said as Hayley drove down the road. I laughed quietly from the backseat as Hayley made a silly face at me in the rearview mirror.

"But still, he is. Other than him, everyone else is fine. Oh, and Uncle Jim is probably the coolest guy you'll ever meet." Hayley said as we turned onto Shore Line Road, and to my right all you could see for miles was the beach.

"Okay, so cousin Taylor; not a nice person and Uncle Jim; the coolest person, I'll ever meet!" I repeated what Hayley told me as she pulled into a driveway with a gate closing the house, from the world. Hayley rolled her window down and punched in the number to open the gate and she pulled in.

The house we pulled into was more like a mansion than anything else. It had more than five limos parked in the front of it with people piling out of each. Immediately I thought I would never fit in here and probably embarrass myself and Hayley with my behavior.

"Hey there, Uncle Jim!" I heard Hayley yell. I looked over at her and saw her leaning out the window and honking the horn to the SUV. I saw Uncle Jim standing on the front lawn laughing and waving at us. I looked back over at the limos and saw Taylor-freaking-Lautner getting out of one of the limos.

"Ugh, typical…" I heard him say as he stood next to Uncle Jim.

"Come on." Hayley said as she got out of the car. I got out of the car. I stepped onto the pavement and fixed my pink spring dress, as Hayley walked over to me.

Taylor's Pov:

I looked over at my cousin Hayley and her family as they pulled into the driveway. I heard her yell her greeting to Uncle Jim as she parked their car. I scoffed at her behavior and stood next to my uncle. I saw them get out of their car and noticed a new face. I did a double-take and thought, "Yeah, she's hot." She had blonde and brown wavy hair that reached the middle of her back and was wearing pink dress.

Brandy's Pov:

Hayley and I walked over to Uncle Jim and Taylor.

"Hey Hayley and Brandy, how was the drive?" Uncle Jim as he walked us in.

"Okay.. I got to drive!" Hayley boomed with excitement. I looked over at her, and laughed. I heard someone else laughing and looked over to see it was Taylor.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Haha, your laugh!" he said as he kept laughing. I looked over to Hayley and Uncle Jim and saw them looking at each other and then at me and Taylor. Hayley gave me a questioning look and I shrugged my shoulders. I looked back to Taylor and gave him a weird look and he stopped laughing and cleared his throat.

"I'm gonna head inside…" he said as he walked to the mansion. Okay… I thought as I watched him walk into the mansion. Uncle Jim and Hayley walked over to me.

"C'mon girls, it's dinner time." Uncle Jim said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked in.

Hayley's Pov:

"TEQUILA! Bring us some shots!" Brandy and I shouted jokingly.

"Girls…. Calm down please…" My mom said as we sat down in our seats. I looked up and over to Taylor. He was giving me and Brandy this weird look. I looked next to Taylor and saw a guy with shaggy, sandy, brown hair and blue-green eyes. A hot guy!

"Umm, are you one of my cousins?" I asked the guy sitting next to Taylor.

"Oh, no I'm a friend of Taylor's and his assistant. My name is James and your Hayley, right?" James asked with a smile.

"Yeah that's me. Nice to meet you, James." I said with a smile. I was so glad he wasn't related to me!

Brandy's Pov:

I sat down in my seat and watched as Hayley began flirting with a guy, I've never seen around here before. His name was James, a friend of Taylor and his assistant.

"Whose ready for a night in Mexico?" Uncle Jim boomed as we turned towards him.

"Me!" I heard a little boy's voice boom. I turned my head and saw Jonah.

"JONAH!" I boomed as I got up out of my seat and walked over to him.

"BRAN BRAN!" Jonah boomed as he jumped out of his seat and hugged me. I bent my head down and kissed the top of his head.

"Ughh, I'm so full!" Hayley said as we laid out on the beach.

"Well I would think so. You had like eight fajitas!" I said laughing.

"I only had six, thank you very much. Ughh, I'm gonna explode!" Hayley said as she flung out her arms and legs.

"No! Don't explode Auntie Hayley!" Jonah cried out as he hugged Hayley. I looked over to Jonah and laughed.

"Jonah, she's not gunna explode, she's just joking." I told him as I got up.

"Oh okay…" Jonah said with a smile.

"Okay, well it's getting late, we need to head inside…" Hayley as her and Jonah stood up and we made our way inside the mansion.

It was about eleven o'clock when we finally got settled and laid down in our two queen size beds. We were both turned so that we were facing each other and were talking about the day's events.

"Do you remember when Taylor was laughing at your laugh?" Hayley asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I asked her as I pushed back my hair that had fallen in my face.

"Well, when he did that, I saw some of the old him coming back out." she said.

"What do you mean the old him?"

"Well, before he got famous, he used to be this really sweet, down to earth guy. But now he's changed and is so different and I miss the old him. But today, when he was with you, I saw a glimpse of the old him." Hayley said to me.

"Oh…" I trialed.

Knock! Knock!

"We can hear you!" Taylor said through the wall. Hayley and I started laughing.

"Okay, night!" Hayley called at the wall. As we turned over, to go to sleep.

Taylor's Pov:

I looked over at James; who was looking over at me. We could hear every single word that was coming out of Brandy's and Hayley's mouth. I decided that I would cut them off before, any secrets came out, that weren't for us to hear. I knocked on the wall.

"We can hear you!" I told them as they began to laugh.

"Okay, night!" Hayley called.

"James, I need to tell you something…" I trailed off.

"What is it, Taylor?" James asked me.

"Can you try to explain to me, why I might be jealous of my nephew Jonah?" I asked him.

"Hahahahaha! Is that why you've been so uptight this whole night? What did he even do to make you get jealous?" James asked me while laughing his butt off.

"He and Brandy are so close and he gets to hug her stuff and she gives him little kisses on the top of his head…"

"Taylor! He's only 5! He doesn't know what any of this means." James said while still laughing.

"Oh yes he does. He went and hugged her and while her back was turned, he stuck his tongue out at me! Trust me, he knows…" I said as I stared up at the ceiling.

Knock! Knock!

"We can hear you!" Hayley and Brandy both called through the wall to us. I looked over at James and saw him laughing quietly to himself.

"Oh shut up!" I said while laughing.
