Chapter 1

Hi my name is Haley Rae James. My parents Lydia and Jimmy James divorced when I was nine years old and I rarely see my father. He is a good man, don't get me wrong but he is always busy. Since the divorce its just been me, mom, and Theresa(Terri), my twelve year old sister. That's alright with me though. I love our life. It's simple, elegant, and fun.

We live in an average sized three bedroom apartment in one of the nicest towns you could ever picture Charlestown North Carolina. I am a straight 'A' student, head of the dance team with my best friend Hannah, and I have the sweetest boyfriend ever named Jake Jagelski.

Have you ever heard people say that your life, your whole life can change in the blink of an eye? I know I have heard people say it, especially in movies but I honestly never believed it. Until one day it happened to me.

Let's take you back to the morning of March 23…the day that forever changed my life.

"I miss you too baby" I said over the phone to my boyfriend Jake.

"Haley loves you Jakey" my sister Terri hollered from the chair.

I rolled my eyes and threw a pillow at her.

"Awe Hales I love you too" Jake chuckled.

"Love you more" I giggled now concentrating on him not Theresa.

"Haley, Terri…I need to talk to you about something" our mother told us walking into the living room. She had a serious look on her face so I knew not to complain. Not that I normally would but I would have asked for maybe a few minutes longer on the phone.

"Yea mom, what do you need" I said after I got off the phone and came into the dining room where she was sitting talking to Terri about the day she had had at school.

"Well girls, you know the man I have been seeing recently Keith" she asked us?

"Um…yea…of course he seems nice" I said unsure of where she was going with this conversation.

"Well, things have been going so good with him that we figured, that we should introduce you kids, I mean give you guys a chance to meet one another" she said hesitantly.

"Mom, I'm glad things are going so well for the two of you, I'm sure his kids are going to be great little kids" I told her with a smile assuring her there was no need to be nervous.

"Well I am glad you feel that way Haley, but they aren't so little, Nathan is your age, Timothy is a little older than Theresa, and little Lilly is just five" my mom told me.

"Well, I am sure they are great kids after all Keith seems like a good guy" I told her. "So when do we meet them" I asked?

"Tonight at dinner, they are in town and we thought it was a perfect chance" my mother said "so be ready to go out to dinner by six".

I sat in my room later that evening trying to do my Algebra homework. I wonder what his kids are like I thought.

"How serious do you think it is between mom and Keith" Theresa asked walking into my room and sitting down on my bed?

"What do you mean, they have only been dating a few months" I told her confused as I turned around from my desk to face her.

"I mean, mom has been dating since practically the day dad moved out, a lot of her boyfriends had kids, and she never had us go to dinner with all of them" Theresa explained.

"It can't be that serious, she would have told us…wouldn't she" I said doubt starting to fill my mind.

"Girls come on its time to leave; we don't want to be late for dinner" Lydia hollered.

Terri and I stared at each other for a few more seconds thinking, before silently we each got up and left the room.

"Where are they mom, shouldn't they have been here like forty-five minutes ago" Terri sighed. We were all bored out of our minds sitting at the restaurant.

"Look here they are now, now girls remember be polite" she told us perking up once she noticed Keith and his three children walking towards our table.

I looked up and saw Keith walking towards us. I had met him before, and even though he seemed like a nice guy I wasn't to interested in him, so my attention jumped to his children.

My eyes first set on an adorable little girl. She had to be Lilly, awe what a little angel I thought to myself. Next my attention turned towards the middle child Timothy. He was well…not trying to be rude but he looked kind of weird. I mean he looked like most twelve year old boys, but I don't know, it was like he was trying to act older and cooler than he truly was. Finally my eyes set on the eldest child. He was…wow. He had dark raven hair and the most amazing blue eyes I had ever seen.

"Sup" he said sitting down in between me and Terri at the table.

My smile instantly fell…'sup'…this was an elegant sophisticated restaurant, we were meeting for the first time, and he introduces himself with…'sup'.

Throughout the entire dinner I was becoming more and more annoyed. First of all Keith wasn't as funny as I first thought he was I mean yea he was nice and all but he just, wasn't very fun yea know. And Lilly yea she was adorable but she was kind of bratty. She just doesn't seem to get the point of the word no. Timothy just as I had suspected was just plain weird. Then most annoying of all was Nathan. He was cocky, arrogant, disrespectful, and a total perv.
