    I was driving home when I realized I didn't have my phone.
     
    "Crap." I said out loud.
     
    I thought back to where I last had it.
     
    The last time I remember having it was when Ricky called.
     
    I turned the car around and drove back to the house after remembering where I had probably left it.
     
    I pulled back into their drive and got out of the car.
     
    I walked straight back into the house without knocking as I have many times before.
     
    As I pasted the kitchen I saw Lanie.
     
    "Oh hi Honey. I thought you had left?" she asked turning to me.
     
    "I did, but I left my phone" I explain.
     
    She smiles and tells me to go.
     
    As I walk towards the back door I hear voices.
     
    I walk closer and listen for second.

    "Man this is crazy." I heard what sounded like Matt say.
     
    I couldn't help but feel intrigued.
     
    I stayed there silently and carried on listening.
     
    "So I guess you must like her a lot to still like her. You still like her right?" Heather asked this time.
     
    "Yes. I tried to get over it but nothing worked." Nathan replied.
     
    Without thinking I had opened the door and walked through into the garden.
     
    I didn't want them to find out I was listening, so I quickly cleared my throat and acted like I just arrived.
     
    They all turned to see me standing in the doorway.
     
    "Hope, I thought you had left?" Dean asks standing up.
     
    I look over to the lounger, which I was sat on before to see my phone hiding just underneath it.
     
    "I did, but I had to come back." I explain as I walk over to them group before bending over and grabbing my phone from the floor under the lounger which Heather and Matt were both now sat on.
     
    I stood back up with my phone in my hand and let out a sigh of relief.
     
    "I forgot my phone. I think I mu st have dropped it or something" I explain.
     
    I look up to see everyone looking at me with a strange look in their eyes.
     
    "I really got to be going this time. I'll see you all again soon. Bye." I said walking back towards the door.
     
    If I really didn't have to go I would of made up an excuse, because the looks they were giving me were making me very uncomfortable.
     
    "Text me when you get home ok hun?" Heather orders me.
     
    I turn back to her and nod before waving my hand "OK mom, buh bye".
     
    "Hang on a sec and I'll walk with you to the door." I heard someone call from behind me.
     
    I stopped and turned to see Dean trying to catch up to me.
     
    I stood at the door until he reached me.
     
    I turned back to the door and started to walk again.
     
    After a second of standing Dean began to follow me, but not before placing his hand on my lower back.
     
    This made my body tense up, but I continued to walk, not wanting to cause a scene.
     
    "Bye!" I heard the last of the three siblings call from behind as I left again.
     
    "Bye!" I called back, but I was already halfway through the door so I don't think they heard me.
     
    Thankfully as soon as we got inside Dean removed his hand.
     
    I let out a sigh of relief, which thankfully he didn't notice.
     
    As soon as we reached the front door Dean opened it for me.
     
    I turned to him and smiled saying, "Thanks Dean."
     
    He gave me a cute smile back. "It's ok. Drive safe." He says before pulling me into a hug.
     
    I stiffed slightly but still hugged him back before pulling away.
     
    After that I couldn't get out of the house fast enough.
     
    "I'll see you another time, I really got to go now." I said and I speed walked over to my awaiting car.
     
    I felt his eyes burning into me as I drove away.
     
    I turned one last time sending him a wave, which he returned back with a smile.
     
    I drove away home until he was no longer in sight.
     
    Arriving back at my house soon after.
     
    As soon as I entered the front door I called to Kira down the hall and told her I was just heading for a shower and
