Turns out my plan of kicking Dylan’s infuriating ass has to wait. My parents chose Monday night, of all nights, to go on a date. And Adam is over at Maddie’s house.

So I’m the one staying at home with my little sister. Right now, we’re in the family room watching Tangled a.k.a. Peach’s most favorite movie in the world. She’s watched this like a million times and she still has no intention of stopping. Even though she’s already memorized practically every line in the film.

Shoveling a spoonful of Ben & Jerry’s into my mouth, I entertain myself by scrolling through Facebook. It also serves a good distraction to keep myself from charging to the McCaffertys’ like a madwoman. But I’m damn tempted to do just that.

I’m still furious over what I learned from Nick and Sloan. Where does Dylan get off meddling with my love life like that? When I’ve never interfered with his? I may bitch out whenever he’s hooking up with some girl. But I’ve never, not even once, outright sabotaged it. He’s always been free to do whatever he wants to do. So he has absolutely no right to be all up in my business.

I clench my fist so hard my nails are digging into my skin. I’m so upset right now I want to scream. But that will only scare Peach.

Sweet Peach who chooses the moment to giggle at the screen.

I plaster a forced smile and run my hand through her hair, tucking an errant lock behind her ear. She doesn’t even pry her eyes away from the TV. Oh, to be a kid and not have a care in the world again.

Sighing, I turn my attention back to my phone and instantly frown at what I’m seeing.

“Make a girl cry and you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”

“You may have broken her heart, but you’d never break the person she is.”

They are all quotes posted by Kristen on her Facebook page. And she only posted them within the last hour. What is going on?

I’m about to click on the comments and see what’s up when the doorbell rings. Setting my phone down on the coffee table, I head to the front door and pull it open.

My scowl comes out in an instant. “What are you doing here?”

Dylan is standing in our front porch, his eyes downcast. Glancing up, he clears his throat. “Can I come in?”

I’m tempted to tell him to get lost, but that will be counterproductive, seeing as he has a lot of explaining to do. Instead of letting him in though, I step outside and close the door behind me.

He looks a little hurt so I quickly explain. “I don’t want to disturb Peach. She’s in the family room watching a movie.”

Dylan nods distractedly. Is he eyeing my legs?

I cross my arms over my chest, suddenly conscious of the fact that I’m wearing short shorts and braless under my shirt.
