other and laugh.
     
    "You are such a bad liar." Matt laughs.
     
    "I'm not."
     
    "So is this a recent thing or is this an old thing?" Heather teased.
     
    "No Hev, it has to be recent right Nate?" Matt quickly said asking for me.
     
    I don't answer, still looking away.
     
    "Right Nate?" Matt asks again, this time in a more serious tone.
     
    I coughed but didn't say anything still.
     
    Heather’s mouth dropped open but quickly closed it again as if realizing something.
     
    "Longer?" She almost whispers.
     
    I slowly turned to them and purse my lips.
     
    "Oh my god Seriously man?" Matt asked shocked.
     
    "How long has it been?" Dean asks, making me jump.
     
    "Since I first saw her." is all I say.
     
    "As in when I first brought her here when we were little?" Heather asks surprised.
     
    I nod.
     
    Silence filled the air for what seemed like forever, but in reality was only a minute.
     
    "Man this is crazy." Matt said running his hand though his hair.
     
    "So I guess you must like her a lot to still like her. You still like her right?" Heather asks again.
     
    "Yes. I tried to get over it but nothing worked." I explain. I hear Dean grunt at this and Matt rolled his eyes at our little brother.
     
    But before anyone else had a chance to speak we all heard someone clear their throat.
     
    We all turned to see her standing in the doorway.
     
    "Hope, I thought you had left?" Dean asks, standing up.
     
    "I did, but I had to come back." She said as she walked over to us before bending over and grabbing something from the floor under the lounger which Heather and Matt were both now sat on.
     
    She stood back up to reveal a phone in her hand.
     
    "I forgot my phone. I think I must have dropped it or something." She explains.
     
    "I really got to be going this time. I'll see you all again soon. Bye" She said walking back towards the door.
     
    “Text me when you get home ok hun?” Heather tells her.
     
    Hope turns and nods before waving her hand “Ok mom, buh bye”.
     
    Dean walked after her. “Hang on a sec and I’ll walk with you to the door.” He said, catching up with her.
     
    She stood at the door until he reached her.
     
    Dean turned and sent me a glare before placing his hand on her back and leading her back out.
     
    “Bye!" Me, Matt and Heather all called as she finally left again.
     
    I couldn't help but be jealous of my little brother.
     
    How could he be so open about his feelings, while I can't.
     
    I turned my attention back to my other two siblings to see them now looking at me too.
     
    "Do you think she heard anything?" Matt asked.
     
    "I didn't even think of that." I said mentally slapping myself.
     
    "Um, I don't know. Would it be so bad if she did?" Heather blurts out.
     
    "She's right, maybe you should tell her already" Matt agrees with our sister.
     
    I stare at them both as if they have gone insane.
     
    "Don't look at me like that!" Matt exclaims.
     
    "When she first started avoiding us you started to act like . actually now I think about you acted a lot like how Dean acts when he is pinning for her." He starts to laugh "I can't believe I didn't see that before. At the time I thought I was just moody because we had no one to mess with or something." Heather glares at Matt.
     
    "You are dumb."
     
    "Hey! You didn't see anything either" The two of them continue like this for a while.
     
    "Guys!" I finally yell causing them both to stop and look at me again.
     
    "I don't think we should even bother speaking about this anymore. It's not like anything’s gonna happen." I state.
     
    They both look at me wide eyed.
     
    "Seriously dude, you have been crushing on her for so long on you still not going to do anything about it?" he asked with a confused look.
     
    I nod and Heather hits my head.
     
    "What the hell?!" I yell out.
     
    "You really are a dumb face if you think that I am going to let you just pin for the rest of your life.
     
    You obviously have strong feelings for
