"So what's this I hear about you hanging out with Gregen?" Johney asked me spread out on my bed. We were suppose to be doing homework but I didn't think that was going to happen.
"He asked to hang out." I shrugged.
"Just hang out? Randomly?" He said giving me that knowing "that's not what happened" face.
"Yeah I guess." I shrugged focusing on my math.
"I don't think you should go." He said quietly.
"Why not?" I asked surprised looking up from my paper at him. He was now sitting up and looking right back at me.
"He… he doesn't ask girls he doesn't talk to hang out unless he wants something or if he… likes them."
"So? Maybe I'm different or maybe he does like me…" I trailed off.
"Do you like him?"
"No. But.. What is it with you and Jade?! He probably just wants to hang out okay?" I said jumping up from my chair.
"Bailey, relax! I'm just looking out for you." He said standing up to.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "I'm not a little girl anymore Johney. I can look out for myself."
"I know you can." He said taking a small step forward. "I just don't want you to get hurt if you make a mistake."
"You think I'd make a mistake?" I said quietly crossing my arms and looking at the ground.
"No!.. Yes." He admitted then said softly. "Everyone makes them Bailey."
"Thanks trusting my own mind." I bit back at him.
"Bailey you know I you to make good choices it's just-" He cut himself off.
"Just what?" I said meeting his eyes. I almost looked down but forced myself to keep looking.
"Nothing. Look I should go. Mom wanted me to work around the house."
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow." I told him as he started walking past me to the door.
He stopped once he reached the door and smiled. "Of course Catnip." He winked at me and I couldn't help but smile.

I got to school the next day and as at my locker; putting things away.
"Hey."
I looked over to see Gregen standing next to my locker. "Oh hey. What are we doing tonight?"
"Though we could walk around or something." He shrugged. Lame I know but I couldn't think of anything else." He gave a small laugh.
"That's cool." I said laughing. "But I have to go home first and drop my stuff off. I'll meet you at the park though?"
"Sounds amazing." He said grinning at me and I laughed.

"So you're still hanging out with him?" Johney grumbled to me at lunch. It was just Hunter, Johney and I right now since Tally and Jade were still waiting in line.
"Yes Johney. I'm still hanging out with him." I laughed.
"Still saying it's not because he think you're cool." He grumbled again look slightly mad.
"And here I thought you thought I was cool." I playfully pouted.
He looked up and smiled. "You are. But he doesn't ask to hang out with you the second time her talks to you just because he finds you cool."
"It was the forth time and he might." I said pointing my fork at him as I talked.
He frowned. "You count the times he talks to you?" He almost sounded sad.
"Maybe." I joked shrugging.
His expression turned to annoyed and something else. "Well then have fun with your boyfriend." He spat standing up picking up his lunch try.
"Johney! Relax!" I said but he turned away anyways to go sit with some other friends.
I looked at Hunter. "What is his problem?"
He gave me a sad knowing smile. "Maybe if you paid attention ore you'd see it."
I raised an eyebrow. "What is that suppose to mean?"
He grinned. "Can't say sorry."
I narrowed my eyes. "Please? I'd rather not have my best friend mad at me."
He smiled sadly. "That's your first problem." His whispered but I still heard.
"What is?"
"Nothing." H said shaking his head. "I'd tell you Bay but he would kill me." He said grimacing.
I rolled my eyes. "Boys."

I got home from spending the afternoon with Gregen. Johney hadn't talked to me all day; still mad from lunch. When I walked into the living room there was a man with blonde hair and dark green eyes. Eyes like Tally's.
Tally was tucked in Dad's arms and Candy was standing next to them looking mad. Dad looked like he could kill the man. Tally just looked scared. Like her world was falling apart.
"Who's he?" I asked.
The man turned to me and smiled. "Ketter. Tally's father."
I was shocked. From what I understood he'd left Candy and Tally when Tally was only two weeks old for a younger women.
After a pause I asked "What are you doing here?"
"I want Tally back. And I' not leaving until she's mine again."
With those words I suddenly understood Tally's expression because it felt like my world was crumbling around me. Tally was my sister not some possession. Not something you could own. Anger burned in me as I glared at him.
"Get. Out."
