"MOM!" Frankie yelled as soon as he got inside the house.

She came out of the other room. "What is it, Frankie?" she asked.

"Laura invited MY friends over here..she's not supposed to do that, they're MY friends..don't let them come over!" he begged.

I could hear them from at the top of the steps. "FRANKIE! THEY'RE OUR FRIENDS TOO! AND JESSE IS LAURA'S BOYFRIEND! DEAL WITH IT!"

"Frankie, I don't see anything wrong with letting the guys come over. Stacey's right. They are friends with them, and Jesse IS Laura's boyfriend." my mom said.

"God, why do you always have to take THEIR side?" Frankie asked.

"I don't. I just think you should be a brother that likes his sisters. Please, Frankie," she begged.

Frankie rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he said, and walked away.

I walked back to my bedroom and closed the door. I picked up the picture of Matt I had sitting on my bedside table, and sat down on my bed. I stared at it for awhile, until I heard someone knock on my door.

"Stacey, it's Matt again," I heard him say.

I quickly threw the picture into a corner. It hit the wall with a big THUD. Matt opened the door right as I turned around.

"What was that? Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm alright, why do you ask?" I questioned.

"I thought I heard something fall..or something like that," he said.

"Nope..I didn't hear anything," I replied.

"Oh, alright, maybe I'm hearing things. Anyway..we're all downstairs, and Laura said she wants you to come down." Matt said.

"Oh, okay," I said, following Matt out.
