“Hey.” Ryder told him. With a slight smile, it wasn’t like his father was home much and yet he demanded Kelsey came here. Ryder loved his sister but he wasn’t sure if she would fit in here in the city. He figured that Kelsey’s strange behaviors along with her weird friend, but hot friend, Hannah, would both bring down his reputation, even if just a bit. He was still contemplating ignoring her but he hadn’t had her in his life for so long that he missed his sister too much to ignore her in school.
“Are you going shopping with your sister today?” Erik asked.
“Uh… I don’t think so.” Ryder cringed.
“Ryder give her some help… it’s not like she’s been here much.” Erik offered.
“Speaking of my sister,” Ryder said “I’ve got to go.” He grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and a bottle of pills from the cupboard. He turned around and left without saying another word to his father. He wouldn’t see him around later today anyway. Erik was seldom home. Ryder had, at one point, wished he was able to live with his mother but then he wouldn’t have had the same experiences, friends, and fun he has now.
“Knock, Knock.” Ryder said as he pushed open Kelsey’s bedroom door.
Hannah was sprawled on the couch; she turned but still stayed asleep, while Kelsey didn’t even flinch. Chuckling Ryder sat down beside his sister on the bed. Pushing on Kelsey’s shoulder Ryder spoke again. “Kelsey!” he yelled.
Kelsey rolled over groaning and nearly fell from the bed. “Dang, Ryder!” She whined back.
“Sorry, I just had to do it. It’s not every day I get to see my favorite twin with a hangover.” Ryder chuckled. “Here, this will help.” He said sticking his arm out offering the pain killers and water bottle.
‘Thanks,” She said rubbing her head. Hannah had sat up from the couch and was glaring over at Ryder. “What happen last night?” Kelsey questioned.
“Don’t know, you came home passed out. You should ask your friend over there.” Ryder shrugged and pointed his finger over at Hannah.
Kelsey turned her head toward her couch and frowned. “Do I want to know?” Kelsey cringed, looking over to her friend.
“You had fun…” Hannah muttered.
“She talks!” Ryder yelled, as he stood up getting ready to leave.
“Quiet.” Kelsey hissed.
“Sorry Kels,” Ryder laughed. “I want to know what got you so wasted.” Ryder pouted.
“I don’t remember.” Kelsey groaned “My head hurts.”
“Yeah, hangover,” Ryder shrugged.
“Oh I remember.” Hannah giggled. “But I don’t think you want your brother to know about it.”
“Gotta hear it now,” Ryder chuckled, as he sat back down, lying back on his side watching Hannah intently.
“ Uhh…” Hannah mumbled.
“Well, she’s silent now that it gets to the good part.” Ryder groaned. “Fine… I got to go anyway. Don’t forget to go shopping dad’s been complaining already this morning.” Ryder rolled his eyes as he walked out.
“So…” Kelsey said as she walked over to the couch were Hannah was sitting. “Do I want to know?”
“Probably not.” Hannah answered.
“Yeah, figured so.” Kelsey replied in a duh tone.
“ Kels, don’t worry about it.” Hannah told her.
Kelsey let out a huge sigh. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
“Come on Kels…” Hannah said standing up. “Let’s go shopping,” Hannah clapped.
Chapter 5
Kelsey and Hannah dressed and made their way down stairs. “Hey Ryder,” Kelsey called looking around for her brother.
“In the kitchen,” Ryder called back. Kelsey made her way to the kitchen finding her brother’s head in the fridge.
“What are you doing?” Kelsey asked.
“I’m getting a snack before I head to practice.” Ryder shrugged,
“Okay…” Kelsey dragged out.
“I have practice till three and then I’ll be at one of the guy’s houses for a while.” Ryder told her.
“Oh, okay…”
