** AUDREE'S POV **
I picked up the phone and dialed Hunter's number as quick as I could, but I got a busy signal. I need to talk to him right away so I ran down the steps and out the front door before mom or James could ask me where I was going, even though they probably knew. Hunter is always the one that I go to when I need help. He's my best friend. Sure I got Sasha too, but for some reason I feel more comfortable talking to Hunter. He knows what I go though, and he always knows how to make me feel better. Don't get me wrong, Sasha is also my best friend and I love her to death, but she doesn't get it sometimes. She's a prep, and I'm well, not. I still to this day have no idea how we have become friends. She likes cheerleading, I on the other hand like cars. She gets manicures from the most expensive place in town, and me, I paint my nails black. And you ask your self how in the hell did we become friends? It started in the first grade. Some girl was picking her on so I picked up some play scissors and I cut the girls hair causing her to scream bloody murder, while Sasha couldn't stop laughing. Sure I was put in time out for the rest of the day, wasn't allowed to use the scissors anymore, and got a very interesting talk given by my teacher, but I meant my best friend through it. I would take my best friend over time out any day.
When I ran into Hunter's room, I found out why the line was busy. He was on- line, as always.
"Whoa, Audree, what's wrong?" He asked seeing by the look on my face something had happened. I could never hide anything from him, even if I tried. He always knew somehow.
"I have a brother. A 21-year-old brother." I said jumping the point. Hunter's mouth about dropped to the floor.
"When did you find that out?"
"When I got home from school. Apparently, he and some of his friends are coming to meet me next Wednesday from LA."
"And you just found this out today?"
"Yeah."
"Okay what else?"
"What do you mean what else? There is nothing else." I lied. I tired to deny that I thought something was going on with my mom. I knew if I would say something, then he would end up dwelling on it.
"Audree, there is something else, I know it. What happened?" He asked me getting up from the computer desk, and taking a seat next to me on his bed. This is one of the times when I love having Hunter as my best friend. When he is seriously concerned about me. He gets that look in his eyes like he would do anything to make me feel better.
"I think my mom is hiding something. I mean, its too simple just telling me all this for no reason. Why now? Why didn't she tell me before." I finally came out and told him. I knew I eventually would, because I would never lie to him. Not for the world. Him and his family have been more of a family to me then mine ever where.
"What do you think she's hiding?"
"I don't know. But it's something. Something big. You just don't come out a say, 'oh yeah you have a 21-year-old brother I forgot to tell you about.' No, that's too easy. She has a reason for it, and it's something big." He didn't say anything. He knew I was right, and there was no stopping what was going to come, whatever it was. I looked at him with hurt eyes and he pulled me into a hug.
"Everything will be okay." He told me, giving me a kiss on my forehead. "I promise." If Sasha were here, she would tell me about how I need to make my move and go out with him. I've never liked Hunter that way. Even if I did, I wouldn't risk our whole friendship on it. We've been through too much, and I couldn't live without him. He has helped me more then anyone and I don't want to loose everything we have had in our friendship. They always say 'lets still be friends' but think about it, how many people actually follow through with that sort of thing? You cant when it hurts too much to be in the same room with them let alone look at them or even talk to them.
** 1 WEEK LATER (Wednesday) LEON'S POV **
Today is the big day for Jesse. Finally meeting his sister. Our plane takes off in 2 hours, and we are leaving the house any minute now. I've never seen Jesse like this. He's really nervous, and he can't sit still.
"Everyone ready?" Dom called standing at the front door not wanting to forget anything, or anyone. Each one of use nodded, and told him yeah, then we were off to the airport. We only took 2 cars so that we wouldn't have to pay as much to leave cars at the airport. Me, Vince, Mia, and Jesse of course were in the Jetta, while Letty and Dom were in the Mazada. When we arrived at the airport, we were right on time and quickly boarded the plane.
"Jess, man, you okay?" I asked seeing how uncomfortable Jesse seemed, and how he still couldn't stop moving.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said moving around in his seat. The plane ride seemed to go by quicker then we all thought, and we were there in a matter of hours. I thought Jesse was gong to have a heart attack when he saw his mom standing at the baggage claim. He didn't come here to see his mom though, he just wanted to see Audree.
"Jesse! Over here!" His mom yelled running up to him. Jesse didn't look thrilled at all to see his mom, but put on a fake smile. "Look at you. You look great."
"So, is she here?" He said quickly changing the subject obviously not wanting to be around his mom very much during this trip.
"No, she is at home waiting for you, so lets get going." After everyone got their bags, we headed into the airport parking lot, and got into a black mini van. With in 15 minutes we were there. On the car ride, Jesse kept moving so much it was really starting to worry me. We unloaded the bags out of the trunk when we pulled into the driveway of the house, and walked into the living room. Jesse stood standing speechless at his little sister in front of him. She looked so much like Jesse you wouldn't believe. Black nail polish and all.
"Audree, this is Jesse. Jesse, this is Audree."
A/N: Hmmm, so what will the reaction from everyone be??? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter even ever I get it up kay? Well, that's all for now. I may post more tonight, but I have decided yet. All depends if I'm in the mood for writing more. Well, anyway, check back for more updates! Lata! BTW (by the way), I hope you all are liking this so far!!!!!
