a/n This is the second to last chapter. Enjoy. (wow, I didn't think it was that short... I suck. Sorry!)

"No, you don't get to look sad," She spoke sadly, "You're getting married to Taryn. You do not get to look sad."

-

Evan ran a hand over his face.

Madison's fingers went to her mouth, she was biting her nails. Something she hadn't done since she fled what was to be her wedding to Matt.

"Maddie," Evan sighed, momentarily forgetting Maddie was unpleased with him. He became a teenager again, sitting across from her in what she considered a nerve-wracking situation. His hands went to hers and gently pulled them out of her mouth.

His hands were cold on her skin and she quickly pulled away, almost have her skin was burnt by his touch.

"Why are you here? You shouldn't be here," she whispered looking out her window once more.

"Why shouldn't I be here?"

"Y-you're getting married, you can't be here."

"Maddie-" he said, getting ready to tell her the reason he was in her childhood bedroom.

"Janine, mum wanted me to tell you that dinner's ready," The youngest of the family entered the room unannounced, "He's welcome to stay." She talked about Evan.

-

Needless to say dinner was awkward. Janine Madison spoke only a few words, pleases and thank-yous.

Evan tried to answer as many questions as he could, to avoid looking stupid or rude.

April shook her head continuously at her stepfather. He didn't like professional wrestling, or any other contact sport (he was a golf man), and he made it very clear. He was being rude to Evan who was trying his hardest to not look offended.

Madison Janine was oblivious to anything going on, early that day she had been contacted by her school to say that she had gotten the lead role in the school play, so she was reciting her lines.

April also wanted to slap her mother; she was shamelessly flirting with Evan, even with her husband at the table.

The eldest sibling kept shooting the middle child looks, silently telling her to speak.

But to no avail.

-

Less than an hour later, dinner was finished and the three girls were in the kitchen cleaning up.

Evan stood by the door, not wanting to be anywhere near the parents.

"Do you need any help?" he asked, feeling uncomfortable just standing there.

"No." the middle child snapped quickly.

"Maddie, go take him back up to your room, so you can talk." April said, pushing her sister towards the door, where Evan moved quickly so he wasn't hit by the woman who now seemed to be on a warpath.

-

She sat on her bed with a huff, and waited for Evan to walk in and close the door.

"Tell me why you're here, so then you can leave and never come back." She said coldly and he put his hand to his chest.

"That hurt Maddie," he tried to joke, but the look she shot him meant she was serious, and not in the mood for joking around.

He dropped his hand to his side. Then looked at her. She wasn't the Maddie he remembered. She didn't look so young; it was as though she had aged. The bags under her eyes showed that she had been having restless nights. She showed no emotion on her face, something that rarely, if ever, happened. She was always happy, angry or sad. But now she was nothing.

"Just tell me." She said, and her voice starting to sound shaking,

"Maddie…"

"No, just tell me. Don't say anything else! Just tell me why you're here!" she yelled.

"I-I uh, broke up with Taryn?"

"You-what?!"
