Aaron walked down the stairs and saw Nikki and Nick on the couch watching T.V He cleared his throat out and both Nikki and Nick turned around. When Nikki realized it was him he was expecting to see hatred in her eyes, but all he saw was hurt. “You don’t care Aaron, remember you hate her.” Aaron thought to himself. He walked into the kitchen and saw Crystal and his mother. They didn’t realize what was going on, they were oblivious to the fact their youngest hated each other. “There you are Aaron, we needed to talk to you.” Jane said pleasantly. Aaron nodded his head. “You know how were all gonna be gone next week and we needed to find you a place to stay? Well, Crystal was nice enough to offer that you stay with her and Nikki. Won’t that be great!” Jane enthused. Aaron’s jaw dropped. He wanted to scream no but he couldn’t let her find out about what he said. “Thank you Mrs. Sakaguchi.” Aaron said kindly. Crystal smiled and nodded her head. Aaron left the room and to his room. “Now what am I gonna do? I have to spend a week with her! This is gonna be torture! I hate her!” He thought to himself and sighed. “But if I hate her, why can’t I stop thinking bout her? I know I didn’t mean what I said before, but I can’t let myself fall again. Yeah, I’m only 15, but my heart was broken, I don’t need that again.” He looked out his room and saw her on the couch still. “But did I really have to hurt her? I didn’t have any right to say all those things, but I can’ apologize. She won’t listen, why should she listen? I’ve been a complete jerk.” “Yo Aaron, Alien is coming on, wanna watch?” Nick called up the stairs. “I’m coming” Aaron said and came down the stairs, Nikki wasn’t in the room. He sat down on the couch and he noticed the rest of them moving around so he had a space beside him open. He looked quizzically at them but they were to into the movie. When Nikki came in she had a pale face. She looked at Aaron and he knew the parents told them the news. Then Nikki looked around and noticed the only seat was by Aaron. She just walked out of the room again but Nick went after her and brought her back in. He sat her down next to Aaron and sat down on the floor in front of her to make sure she didn’t move. Aaron tried to concentrate on the movie but it was useless. When the movie was over Nikki and her mother left. But they both knew they’d see each other again.
