Chapter 6

Sallys's POV

"Sally come down!!" My mum shouts for me in the kitchen stopping my train of thoughts "The guests are here!!"

"Um..ok mum I'll be down in a minute." I stammer a little as I dash into the bathroom and hurriedly put my clothes on.

After putting my clothes on I apply a little bit of makeup and walk downstairs. I enter the living room where the guests are. I see a young man and a boy who looks like the boy I met at the park...I think his name was Nash...

"Nash?" I questioned him with a slightly puzzled look on my face

He looks at me "oh hey...Sully?" The room erupts with laughter.

"Haha," I awkwardly laugh "No it's Sally. I get that a lot." I say to him with a smile.

"Sorry. I'm rubbish at remembering names." he scratches the back of his neck. Why do all boy do that?! First Shawn, now Nash!!

"Oh ok it's ok!! Trust me!! A lot of people pronounce my name wrong all the time for some reason." I laugh again.

'maybe I should stop with the laughing'

My mum enters the living room.

"Dinner will be here shortly. Oh. Hi honey. Have you met these two young gentlemen" she points to Nash and the other man.

"Sally and Nash met earlier." the young man speaks up "oh I forgot to introduce myself." He says "My name is Bart" he sticks his hand out.

"You already know my name." I say as I shake his hand.

"Oh that's great!" My mum said entering the kitchen.

"Your house is big!" Nash looks around the room in amazement.

"Eh. It's not that big." I say to him.

"Haha bigger than ours" he says looking at me.

"Anyways what brings you here?" I questioned him.

"Oh you know when I said I just moved," he said to me "Well your mum saw us and she insisted we had dinner at her house since none of our furnitures are here." he said smiling at me.

"Well that's my mum for ya!! Always helping people she meets. Haha." I laughed at my own joke asking with Nash and Bart.

"Anyways I was wondering if-" Nash got interrupted by a knock on the door. My mum opens the door.

"Shawn sweetheart! It's good to see you again" She greets Shawn.

"Thank you." He smiles at her and walks through the door that leads to the living room. He suddenly stands still the the doorway. His jaws clenched and his fist in a ball. I was confused at this point. I looked at Nash, who was somewhat confused and angry.

"Hey Shawn!" I said trying to break the silence in the room "um...this is Nash and Bart" I point to the two boys who were sat next to me.

"Yeh I know" Shawn whispers harshly making it hard to hear. He leaves the room in a hurry and slams the front door making me flinch in my seat. My mum walks into the living room clearly confused at what happened.

"What happened to Shawn?" My mum asked puzzled.

"Um..I-I don't know.." I answered her question truthfully. I look at Nash for some answers. He avoids my eyes.

"Where's the bathroom?" He asked my mum.

My mum told him where it was and he stood up and left the living room.

"Nash!" Bart shouts at him "Nash!!" He tries to stop Nash from leaving the room but Nash runs to the bathroom like his life depended on it.

"What happened?" I asked Bart. He sighs sitting down on the couch behind him and rubs his face with his hands. He starts at both me and my mum.

"He had a very bad past with the guy who just walked in. I don't think he wanted to be reminded about it."
