*After I entered the lounge*
I saw Beth's head turn when she heard me enter. She was sat on the sofa with her back to me in between my dad and a male figure wearing a blue cap. Upon catching sight of me, Beth tottered over to me in wearing her usual ridiculously short skirt and equally ridiculously high-heeled shoes. She wrapped her arms around me and then took a small step back to look at me.
"Wow!! My baby sister!! Its great to see you honey!!"
~Honey?!?!~ I thought to myself. ~Why is she acting like this? Oh, I get it - the boyfriend........trying to impress him huh?~
I tried to think of a way to embarass Beth in front of the latest 'love of her life' but before I could come up with any ideas, Beth dragged me around to the front of the sofa and clasped the hand of the guy who was now stood in the centre of the room. I looked around, uninterested.
"Kim, this is Jeff..." Beth beamed, "Jeff Hardy, my new boyfriend"
My heart skipped a beat and my fingers trembled. The name was the same..could it be.....?
"Jeff.....Hardy...?" I stammered, my voice barely steady enough for anyone to tell what I was trying to say. I slowly raised my head and set my eyes on the guy who's poster I had on my wall, who I dreamed of every night,the guy who.........had his arm around my sister's waist!!
How could this happen?! I had to get out of there! Jeff Hardy was in my house and I was his girlfriend's little sister!
"I.....I.....have to go over to....errr......Tanya's..." I just about managed to squeak.
With that, I ran from the house, grabbing my purse on the way, and I kept running until I reached the front door of my best friend's house.

*Tanya answered the door*
"Kim...? What are you doing here....? I thought you were watching raw......." Tanya said, confused at my sudden arrival.
I looked up from my shoes, my eyes slowly but surely welling with tears. Not tears of sadness, or anger.......tears of confusion. I didn't know what to do or say. How could the guy I had a major crush on be my sister's boyfriend? It just didn't seem real, was it real.....? As I was lost in my thoughts I suddenly remembered Tanya standing there and forced myself to justify my turning up on her doorstep.
"Ummmmm....I just had a little argument with my sister that's all....can I er.....stay here please...?"
Tanya looked at me, unconvinced, but let me into the house anyway. After saying a quick hello to each one of her parents Tanya led the way to her bedroom and I followed in silence. We sat down on her bed and I hugged my knees close to my chest, rocking back and forth. Tanya looked at me, a concerned expression on her face.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" she asked me gently.
"I just really need to sleep.........is that ok.....?" I replied.
Tanya smiled. "Of course. I need to get to sleep early anyway, I have a training session tomorrow morning..."
Tanya was a great tennis player. She worked really hard at it every day and was more committed to her tennis career than anything else in her life.
But as I lay in a sleeping bag on Tanya's bedroom floor that night I wasn't sleeping. My body was tired but my mind wouldn't stop.
~Was it really Jeff? How sure am I? I only glanced at him, maybe it was all a mistake.......but I think about him every day, how could I be wrong........? Those deep green eyes......his soft cheek......he even had the hair.........What do I do now? Should I go back and make sure.....? But, I love him.....don't I........? Don't be stupid Kim......its just a stupid crush, everyone has them............But how could Jeff fall for Beth........he writes poetry, she just shops all day.........is he the person I imagined him to be.........if it was him, I have to get over him.........he's gonna be my brother-in-law some day maybe.............I'm just 18, could we ever be.......STOP IT KIM!! so........tired.........~
